Purple Heart monument design OK’d BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Board of Supervisors on Monday gave approval to the design plans for a Purple Heart monument at court square. “Dedicated to the recipients of the nation’s oldest military decoration ‘The Purple Heart’” will be inscribed across the 50inch top piece of the monument, which will be at the northeast corner of the courthouse. A 6-foot wide base will support a 45-inch tall monument inscribed with the Military Order of the Purple Heart emblem and the words, “My stone is red for the blood they shed. The medal I bear is my country’s way to show they care. If I could be seen by all mankind maybe peace will come in my lifetime.” Steven Eaton of Modern Woodmen said Purple Heart recipients and veterans will be Please see DESIGN | 2

Private entity to manage jail BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility is getting new management. The Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Monday approved entering a contract with Mississippi Correctional Management, Inc., for operation, maintenance and man-

agement of the facility. That motion came after the board voted unanimously that it wants to contract with a private entity to run the jail. The arrangement will need approval of the Mississippi Department of Corrections before being implemented. Irb Benjamin, president of Mississippi Correctional Man-

agement, has been a consultant for the county throughout the planning, construction and opening of the new jail. He said he is ready to get started as soon as MDOC Commissioner Christopher Epps gives approval. “This is in line with what we do every day,” he said. Sheriff Charles Rinehart

said the top priority is continuing the flow of state inmates to the facility, and he believes contracting with Benjamin’s business is the best option. Another possibility was letting the state take over operations. It is a two-year contract that will cover the rest of the sherPlease see JAIL | 3

Alcorn Welcome Center holds open house BY JOSEPH MILLER jmiller@dailycorinthian.com

Folks in Corinth pride themselves in community involvement. On Monday, several residents put their words into action by coming to the Alcorn County Welcome Center’s open house to show their support for the event. The welcome center promotes their annual open house as having community members come and spread holiday cheer. It also acts as a way for the center to give back to the local restaurants through advertising. “We love coming down here every year,” said Janette Tyson, a native of Corinth. “This is my hometown and I always support it. I have been around this wonderful city for over 50 years, and days like today is why I love it.” For an extra incentive to get people out to the welcome center, Kay Bain was the performer of the day who sang Christmas songs to all the guest on hand.

Local residents (from left) include Janette Tyson, Hazel Cotner and Madell Jones. All of them came to the Alcorn County Welcome Center’s open house to show their support for the community. “I really enjoy coming to visit with people and show my support, and I love to hear Kay [Bain] sing her songs,” said Hazel Cotner. “I have been

Guilty plea expected in meth case Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — An attorney says his client is likely to plead guilty in a drug case involving about 21 kilograms of methamphetamine found after a traffic stop in Lamar County. Obidio Santos-Alas and Reina Chamorro were charged in the case after authorities said the drugs were found in a hidden compartment under the bed of the truck on July 30. Reina Chamorro has already pleaded guilty. Robert Whitacre, San-

tos-Alas’ attorney, told The Associated Press on Monday that plea negotiations have been underway for his client. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Friday in U.S. District Court in Hattiesburg, but Santos-Alas may plead guilty at that time. He had been scheduled to plead guilty Oct. 23, but that hearing was postponed when he asked for a continuance. Chamorro pleaded guilty Oct. 23 to one count of interstate travel in aid of an unlawful activity.

She faces up to five years in prison at sentencing. Authorities said the suspects told investigators that they were hired to drive the truck from Texas to Georgia and would be paid $2,000. An affidavit in the case said that Santos-Alas and Chamorro flew to Houston from Tampa, Fla., on July 30 to pick up the truck. Investigators said they knew that there some kind of drugs in the truck, but didn’t know what kind, how much or where it was located.

Benefits will not change except that office co-pays now count toward out-ofpocket limits, and the outof-pocket maximum rises from $3,000 to $3,500. Insurance broker Sammy Smith said the changes stem from the health care reform act. The county’s plan meets the mandates of the act, he said.

Arraignment set in ricin letters case

Briefs Today is Tuesday, Dec. 3, the 337th day of 2013. There are 28 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 3, 1984, thousands of people died after a cloud of methyl isocyanate gas escaped from a pesticide plant operated by a Union Carbide subsidiary in Bhopal, India.

On this date: In 1810, British forces captured Mauritius from the French, who had renamed the island nation off southeast Africa “Ile de France.” In 1828, Andrew Jackson was elected president of the United States by the Electoral College. In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio — the first truly coeducational school of higher learning in the United States — began holding classes. In 1910, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, died in Chestnut Hill, Mass.. In 1925, George Gershwin’s Concerto in F had its world premiere at New York’s Carnegie Hall, with Gershwin at the piano. In 1947, the Tennessee Williams play “A Streetcar Named Desire” opened on Broadway. In 1967, surgeons in Cape Town, South Africa led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the first human heart transplant on Louis Washkansky, who lived 18 days with the new heart. The 20th Century Limited, the famed luxury train, completed its final run from New York to Chicago. In 1979, 11 people were killed in a crush of fans at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum, where the British rock group The Who was performing. In 1980, Bernadine Dohrn, a former leader of the radical Weather Underground, surrendered to authorities in Chicago after more than a decade as a fugitive. In 1992, the first telephone text message was sent by British engineer Neil Papworth, who transmitted the greeting “Merry Christmas” from his work computer in Newbury, Berkshire, to Vodafone executive Richard Jarvis’ mobile phone.

Ten years ago: A U.N. tribunal convicted and sentenced a radio news director and a newspaper editor to life imprisonment for their role in promoting the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Associated Press

JACKSON — A man charged with sending poison-laced letters to President Barack Obama and other officials is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday on a new charge. James Everett Dutschke has been jailed since April on charges of sending ricin-tainted letters to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and a Mississippi judge, Sadie Holland. A new indictment on Nov. 20 says Dutschke, while incarcerated, tried to recruit someone to make more ricin and send

it to Wicker, a Republican. The indictment says Dutschke, 42, was again trying to frame Elvis impersonator Paul Kevin Curtis, the same man he’s accused of trying to set up the first time in the case. Dutschke’s lawyer didn’t immediately respond to a message Monday. Dutschke is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Oxford. Curtis was arrested on charges of sending the letters in April, but the charges were dropped when the investigation shifted to Dutschke. Curtis says the men have feuded for years.

Authorities first focused on Curtis because the letters contained statements that he had often used on his Facebook page, including the line, “I am KC and I approve this message.” The letters also contained the phrase “Missing Pieces,” the same title as an unpublished book Curtis wrote about his belief that there’s a black market for body parts in the United States. The new indictment, dated Wednesday, said Dutschke also wanted a message in the subsequent letter: “It doesn’t matter the Fife types have

the wrong one. D. had to be sacrificed to show the corruption in the system. I tried to warn you. Ha. K.” Dutschke is a former martial arts instructor in the north Mississippi town of Tupelo, Elvis’ birthplace. He pleaded not guilty to the original five counts and denies sending the letters. The new indictment adds another count. He faces up to life in prison, if convicted of the most serious charge, the production of a biological weapon. He’s being held without bond. His trial is scheduled for May 27.

ter, had received passes in violation of MDOC policy. The letter said no more state inmates would come to the county until a plan of action is in place. District 3 Supervisor Tim Mitchell told Benjamin the board wants to see the financial situation improve for the facility, which depends on the housing of state inmates to generate revenue to pay the debt on the new jail and justice complex. “You’ve got a big hole to dig out of,” he said. Through October,

the jail has a deficit of $237,057. Revenue exceeded expenses in three months from January to October, while losses as large as $87,000 in January kept the bottom line in the red. The Grenada County Jail is among those currently managed by Mississippi Correctional Management. In other business, Jimmy Taylor, the former sheriff, appeared before the board to speak about a problem with a sheriff’s department credit card

that ended up on his personal credit report and affected his credit score. He learned of the issue when attempting to borrow money at a local bank. He said upon investigating he found that the credit card bill was never submitted to the board for payment, and the card was never taken out of his name after leaving office. Board President Lowell Hinton said the problem with the card has been rectified. The board’s next meeting is 9 a.m. Dec. 16.

iff’s term. He said he does not want to tie his successor to a contract for jail management. Benjamin said the cost of operations under his management will be no more than what the county currently pays. The action comes a few weeks after MDOC Commissioner Epps admonished the sheriff in a letter for violations of the inmate pass policy. When state inmate William “Danny” Whitaker died at a residence in Corinth while out on a pass, it came to light that five others, serving time for charges such as armed robbery and manslaugh-

Corinth, Miss.

More than you think are homeless for the holidays As we transition from the traditional Thanksgiving feast into the Christmas season, it’s easy to forget that there are those for whom Thanksgiving and Christmas are just another day. When Mississippians think of the homeless, we mostly think of out-of-state people in big cities who are either severely mentally ill, chronic substance abusers, or those who are chronically homeless. We also comfort ourselves in the notion that homelessness is far less pronounced in the rural South because we “take care of our own.” There is some truth in that. The National Alliance to End Sid Salter Homelessness conducted reColumnist search that shows that 82 percent of documented homeless persons are in urban or mostly urban areas, while seven percent are in rural or mostly rural areas. But the urban homeless are far more visible and hence harder to ignore. The rural homeless, which are the preponderance of Mississippi’s homeless population, are often hidden. Instead of sleeping on the streets as in large cities, they congregate in the woods, campgrounds, barns, vehicles or abandoned or substandard housing not truly meant for habitation. The truth about homelessness in Mississippi is a mixed bag. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development keeps statistics on homeless in an annual report called HUD’s Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance Programs Homeless Populations and Subpopulations. The data represents an attempt – and is admittedly not independently verified – to document the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless people in the country by state. Counting homeless people, like counting immigrants or others who are distrustful of authority figures, is an incredibly inexact science. How many homeless persons in Mississippi have been counted? According to HUD, there are 2,403 homeless in Mississippi. Some 321 of those homeless are persons under the age of 18. HUD classifies 475 of Mississippi’s homeless individuals as “chronically homeless.” Another 230 of our homeless are “severely mentally ill.” Another 498 of the state’s homeless are listed as engaging in “chronic substance abuse” while another 230 of them are veterans. The government counted 47 homeless victims of HIV/AIDS and 216 victims of domestic violence. And of the 2,403 Mississippi homeless identified by HUD – again, a count that is admittedly likely to be low – 501 are in emergency shelters, 582 are in some temporary traditional housing, and 1,320 are “unsheltered.” The worse news about homelessness in Mississippi is that it is exacerbated by poverty and Mississippi remains the poorest state in the union. But one national index in which Mississippi ranks high is generosity and a willingness to help others. The good news about the problem in our state is that there exists a large number of public, private, parochial and service groups dedicated to helping the homeless. If you know of a homeless person that needs assistance, here is a wealth of contact information to help you help them: http:// portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/ states/mississippi/homeless. It seems the problem of homelessness is somehow more depressing and hopeless during the holiday season. That’s why many very noble efforts to provide holiday meals and toys for underprivileged children find success at this time of year. But the truth is that poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and the clutches of substances abuse threaten Mississippi families all year long and require not merely the generosity of the holidays, but a place at the table of public policy debate.

Watchdog: State should do better to help vendors BY JEFF AMY Capitol Dome

JACKSON — It’s too hard for companies to track down information on how to sell goods and services to state government and Mississippi should make it easier to do business with the state, a legislative watchdog group said. The Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review made its recommendations in a report released Nov. 12. “Although it is possible for vendors to find information on business opportunities available in state government through electronic resources, PEER determined that this often requires searching through several pages on websites,” the committee wrote. The committee said people who don’t know state government well might not be able to find the right agency, or the right documents on an agency’s website. PEER recommends the Department of Finance and Administration maintain a contracting portal as part of its Transparency Mis-

sissippi website. The committee also said the portal should allow companies to search for business opportunities both by agency and by product or service. The committee urged lawmakers to require the portal under state law and require the Department of Information Technology Services and the state Personnel Board to help with it. The Information Technology Services agency runs all the state’s purchasing for computer hardware, software and services. The Personnel Board houses the Personal Service Contract Review Board, which vets contracts for dozens of agencies. “Vendors should have easy access to information about the contracting process and an opportunity to compete for contracts,” PEER wrote. The committee wrote the site should also have guidance for doing business with individual agencies. State agencies buy all manner of things. For example, the Department of Finance and Administration is currently asking for bids

on tractors, firefighter uniforms, disposable adult diapers and refrigerant gases. The Information Technology Services agency is looking for a testing administrator and testing sites for the state Board of Cosmetology. There is information about most purchases online now. For example, the business section of ms.gov has a direct link to the Department of Finance and Administration’s “Vendor Information” page for procuring commodities. But PEER noted that there’s no easy way to bid on a state construction project. State agencies said there are other ways to learn Mississippi’s government is seeking a particular service. For items and services worth more than $50,000 including construction, furniture and equipment, commodities and vehicles, an agency has to publish bids in a newspaper at least two weeks in a row. That threshold is $100,000, if it’s a personal service contract. For less expensive purchases, businesses may not have an opportunity to pitch their services unless

an agency contacts them. For example, basic goods not covered by an existing state contract can be bought on the open market, though agencies are supposed to get at least two written price quotes for purchases of more than $5,000. PEER also recommended agencies publicize bid awards and debrief bidders after a contract is awarded, to “dispel any concerns or problems that they might have had with the process.” Currently, the Information Technology Services agency has a form of debriefing, but the Department of Finance and Administration and the Personnel Board do not. PEER also called on the agencies to make sure all contract information is disclosed, saying some contracts aren’t now available. The committee only looked at the laws and rules governing state contracting. The committee didn’t check to see whether agencies were following the rules. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for The Associated Press based in Jackson.)

A challenge to our beliefs Depressing news about black students scoring far below white students on various mental tests has become so familiar that people in different parts of the ideological spectrum have long ago developed their different explanations for why this is so. But both may have to do some rethinking, in light of radically different news from England. The November 9th-15th issue of the distinguished British magazine “The Economist” reports that, among children who are eligible for free meals in England’s schools, black children of immigrants from Africa meet the standards of school tests nearly 60 percent of the time -- as do immigrant children from Bangladesh and Pakistan. Black children of immigrants from the Caribbean meet the standards less than 50 percent of the time. At the bottom, among those children who are all from families with low enough incomes to receive free meals at school, are white English children, who meet the standards 30 percent of the time. “The Economist” points out that, in one borough of London, white students scored lower than black students in any London borough. These data might seem to be some kind of fluke, but

they confirm the observations in a book titled “Life at the Bottom” by British phyThomas sician TheoSowell dore Dalrymple. He said Columnist that, among the patients he treated in a hospital near a low-income housing project, he could not recall any white 16-year-old who could multiply nine by seven. Some could not even do three times seven. What jolts us is not only that this phenomenon is so different from what we are used to seeing in the United States, but also that it fits neither the genetic nor the environmental explanation of black-white educational differences here. These white students in England come from the same race that produced Shakespeare and the great scientist Sir Isaac Newton, among other world class intellects over the centuries. But today many young whites in England are barely literate, and have trouble with simple arithmetic. Nor are these white students the victims of racial discrimination, much less the descendants of slaves. With the two main explanations for low performances on school tests obviously

not applicable in England, there must be some other explanation. And once there is some other explanation in this case, we have to wonder if that other explanation -whatever it is -- might also apply in the United States, to one degree or another. In other words, maybe our own explanations need reexamination. What do low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common? It cannot be simply low incomes, because children from other groups in the same low-income brackets outperform whites in England and outperform blacks in America. What low-income whites in England and ghetto blacks in the United States have in common is a generations-long indoctrination in victimhood. The political left in both countries has, for more than half a century, maintained a steady and loud drumbeat of claims that the deck is stacked against those at the bottom. The American left uses race and the British left uses class, but the British left has been at it longer. In both countries, immigrants who have not been in the country as long have not been so distracted by such ideology into a blind resentment and lashing out at other people. In both countries, immigrants enter a supposedly

closed society that refuses to let anyone rise -- and they nevertheless rise, while the native-born at the bottom remain at the bottom. Those who promote an ideology of victimhood may imagine that they are helping those at the bottom, when in fact they are harming them, more so than the society that the left is denouncing. We in America have gotten used to vast gaps between blacks and whites on test scores. But this was not always the case, in places where there was anything like comparable education. Back in the 1940s, before the vast expansion of the welfare state and the ideology of victimhood used to justify it, there was no such gap on test scores between black schools in Harlem and white, working class schools on New York’s lower east side. You can find the data on pages 40-41 of an article of mine in the Fall 1981 issue of “Teachers College Record,” a journal published by Columbia University -- that is, if you think facts matter more than rhetoric or social visions.

NTSB: Train going too fast before wreck YONKERS, N.Y. â€” A commuter train that derailed over the weekend, killing four passengers, was hurtling at 82 mph as it entered a 30 mph curve, a federal investigator said Monday. But whether the wreck was the result of human error or brake trouble was unclear, he said. Asked why the train was going so fast, National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener said: â€œThatâ€™s the question we need to answer.â€? He would not disclose what the engineer operating the train had told investigators. Weener said investigators were examining the engineerâ€™s cellphone â€” apparently to determine whether he was distracted. Weener said the information on the locomotiveâ€™s speed was preliminary and extracted from the Metro-North trainâ€™s two data recorders, taken from the wreckage

after the Sunday morning accident in the Bronx. He said the throttle went to idle six seconds before the derailed train came to a complete stop â€” â€œvery late in the gameâ€? for a train going that fast â€” and the brakes were fully engaged five seconds before the train stopped. Â

Congress â€” among Internet sellers, millions of buyers, aggrieved brick-and-mortar stores and states hungry for billions of dollars in extra tax revenue. The high court without comment turned away appeals from Amazon. com LLC and Overstock. com Inc. in their fight against a New York court decision forcing them to remit sales tax the same way in-state businesses do. This could hurt online shopping in that state, since one of the attractions of Internet purchasing is the lack of a state sales tax, which makes some items a little cheaper than they would be inside a store on the corner. And the effect could be felt far beyond New York if it encourages other states to act. The National Council of State Legislatures estimates that states lost an estimated $23.3 billion in 2012 as a result of being unable to collect sales tax on online and catalog purchases.

Holiday sees state work 167 wrecks JACKSON â€” The Mississippi Highway Patrol worked two fatal accidents over the Thanksgiving holidays and investigated a total of 167 collisions that injured 36 people. Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Johnny Poulus says troopers worked two fatalities during the same period last year, but there was slight decrease in overall accidents and injuries from Thanksgiving 2012. Poulus says one fatality happened Saturday in Wilkinson County when 26-year-old Tarvis A. Bolden lost control of his vehicle and ran off the road. The other fatality was 16-year-old Joseph R. Grayson, who died from injuries sustained Sunday when his truck ran off the road in Jones County. Both accidents are under investigation Troopers wrote 6,682 citations, including 118

DUIs over the holiday period, from Wednesday evening until midnight Sunday. Â

Blues Trail marker will honor Handy CLEVELAND â€” The â€œEnlightenment of W.C. Handyâ€? is the subject of the next Mississippi Blues Trail marker to be unveiled Thursday at the Bolivar County Courthouse.

The Mississippi Development Authorityâ€™s Tourism Division says in a news release that Handyâ€™s account of his â€œenlightenmentâ€? in Cleveland is one of the most widely circulated stories in blues history. Handy, a composer and musician, said his idea of music was changed by a Mississippi Delta musical trio being showered with coins in 1903.

Man pleads guilty to Social Security fraud GULFPORT â€” Federal court records show a Pearl River County man has pleaded guilty to receiving about $114,000 in Social Security disability benefits that he wasnâ€™t entitled to receive. Alan Paul Blache pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport. He was charged Nov. 13 in a bill of criminal information, which is a type of charge usually filed when a defendant waives indictment and intends to plead guilty. Court records say he received the money from 2005 to 2011. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 24.

Judge orders update in Greyhound crash lawsuit GULFPORT â€” Greyhound Bus Lines Inc. and a woman who sued the company over a 2008 accident in south Mississippi have until Friday to advise the judge of any settlement they reach in the case. Megan Clancy sued Greyhound in Jackson County Circuit Court in July 2011, saying she was injured in the accident on Interstate 10 near Dâ€™Iberville on Aug. 2, 2008. The case was moved to federal court in 2011. The lawsuit says she was a passenger in a vehicle when the driver slowed for traffic and the bus hit it from behind, causing her permanent injuries. U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden said any settlement after Friday may result in him assessing jury costs. The trial is scheduled to begin next week. Greyhoundâ€™s lawyer had no comment on the lawsuit. Court records show her brother, Jon Clancy, also sued over the accident in Jackson County Circuit Court, where a jury ruled in Greyhoundâ€™s favor. Greyhound tried to get Megan Clancyâ€™s case dismissed, saying the lawsuits were identical and the federal case should be dismissed because the arguments had already been tried in state court. However, the verdict in Jon Clancyâ€™s case was set aside on Sept. 30, and Ozerden ruled on Oct. 4 that Megan Clancyâ€™s case could continue, according to court records.

Obama losing trust of the American people Approval ratings for politicians in Washington are at historic lows. Worse, according to a CNN/ORC poll last week, 53 percent of Americans believe “Obama is not honest and trustworthy.” An approval rating is one thing, trust and honesty go much deeper in relationships between politicians and their constituents. Remember when Senator Obama declared there were no red states or blue states, but only the United States of America? He ran on unifying the nation, and yet he has governed by dividing us even more along racial lines, promoting class warfare, and hardening ideological positions on both ends of the political spectrum. As a nation we’re more polarized today than at any time under Obama’s predecessor. The stark contrast between his campaign

platform (hope, change, and unity) and his governing style (elections have consequences… we’ll do this my Daniel L. way) should have Gardner warned us how rocky his tenure Columnist would be. Obamacare in general and Healthcare.gov in particular have damaged the President’s image more than any other factors. That’s saying a lot considering other incidents the mainstream media have essentially covered up: IRS targeting conservative groups (no one is investigating); NSA snooping (more denials and cover-ups); Benghazi (“what does it really matter at this point”); Ft. Hood (workplace violence, nothing to see here folks); not to mention

the weakest foreign policy in a generation. Obama’s outright and too often repeated lies about people being able to keep their doctors and healthcare plans…PERIOD…appear to be the straws that broke the camel’s back. Even the mainstream media and late night talk shows began to take notice. Constitutional Law professor Obama came into office saying the Constitution, which he took an oath to protect and defend, was indeed an “outdated” and “deeply flawed” document. Can’t really fault him for that. He didn’t grow up saying the pledge of allegiance, singing “God Bless America,” or waving a flag at 4th of July parades. We see manifestations of Obama’s anti-Constitution attitudes when he unilaterally decides what parts of what laws

he’ll enforce and which parts he’ll postpone for political reasons. Meanwhile his administration continues making laws of its own through a record number of regulations from the EPA, HHS, and IRS increasing the costs of business and even threatening whole sectors of our economy (think agriculture, mining, and energy). These are just a few of the reasons a majority of Americans no longer trust the President or view him as being honest. The CNN/ORD poll also showed “Obama’s woes are not limited to honesty and his managerial skills. Fifty-six percent say he is not a person they admire, and an equal number say he does not agree with them on important issues. Fifty-six percent also say he does not inspire confidence, and 53 percent don’t view him as a strong

Allain, former governor in ’80s, dies Associated Press

JACKSON — Former Mississippi Gov. Bill Allain, a Democrat who appointed significant numbers of women and minorities to government jobs and strengthened the executive branch by removing legislators from state boards, died Monday. He was 85. Tom Allain, a nephew, said the former governor died at St. Dominic Hospital in Jackson. A law associate, Louis Clifford, said Allain had been hospitalized for about two weeks with pneumonia. “His mind remained sharp to the end,” Clifford said. Allain was governor from January 1984 to January 1988, after serving a term as attorney general from 1980 to 1984. He was the first Mississippi governor in modern times who could have run for a second consecutive term after the ban on gubernatorial succession was lifted in 1986, but he chose not to seek re-election. After leaving office, Allain returned to private law practice and rarely participated in events with other former governors. Before being elected attorney general, Allain worked 12 years on the attorney general’s staff and had a role in most of Mississippi’s major federal cases of the era. In 1962, his first year as an assistant attorney general, Allain represented the state as Gov. Ross Barnett tried to

block James Meredith from enrolling as the first black student at the University of Mississippi. Allain was among the first lawyers to represent the state in a prison crowding case and the Ayers college desegregation case, both dating from the 1970s. As an assistant attorney general and in his private law practice, Allain built a network of acquaintances that helped him win the attorney general’s race in 1979. He wouldn’t say which of his statewide jobs he preferred. “As attorney general, you get up in the morning and you drink coffee and have breakfast and you go and you get your staff together and you say, ‘Who we going to give hell to today?’ And as governor you get up and do the same thing but your staff says, ‘Who’s giving us hell today?’” Allain told The Associated Press in 2001. Associates say Allain’s most significant contribution to public policy was restructuring state government. Through work he started as attorney general and continued as governor, legislators were booted off a number of state boards. That strengthened the executive branch in a state where the 1890 constitution creates a relatively weak governorship. Allain also made government more inclusive by hiring numerous women and minorities. In 1985, he appointed Jackson attorney Reuben Anderson as the first black justice on the Mississippi Supreme

Court. In 1987, legislators overrode Allain’s veto of a bill that funded a large-scale highway construction program by adding 3.6 cents a gallon to the fuel tax. Allain wanted to pay for the new four-lane highways by issuing bonds rather than increasing drivers’ costs at the pump. Allain, who grew up in Natchez, studied prelaw at the University of Notre Dame and earned his law degree from the University of Mississippi. In recent years, Allain’s eyesight had been failing but he continued to do work with Clifford’s law firm in Jackson. He was divorced before running for governor. He is survived by two sisters, Mildred Newsome of Houston, Texas, and Maggie Gibbs of Rankin County, Miss.; and several nieces and nephews. His gubernatorial campaign in 1983 was marred by some of the most scandalous accusations in Mississippi political history. A Republican-funded campaign accused Allain of sexual improprieties. Allain vehemently denied the claims, and while they were widely reported in Mississippi and national media, none was ever substantiated. Allain didn’t shy away from questions about that campaign, though he told AP in 2001 that he was tired of journalists bringing them up. As for the accusations, he said flatly: “None of them were true.”

Dog found under rubble 9 days after Illinois tornado Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Ill. — A six-month-old pit bull that was buried under a pile of rubble for more than a week after a tornado ripped through a central Illinois city has been coaxed to freedom with hot dogs and reunited with his owner. Jacob Montgomery, a member of the Illinois National Guard, was separated from the dog, Dexter, when the Nov. 17 tornado destroyed his third-floor apartment in Washington. Montgomery combed through the wreckage multiple times but turned up no sign of Dexter. Nine days after the storm, a neighbor who was looking for his cat, also missing, with the help of a group called Rescuing Animals in Need sent Montgomery a Facebook message to tell him Dexter had been found partially buried in debris where the apartment building used to stand. “He said, ‘I’ve got your dog right here,’” Montgomery recalled in a statement released by the Illinois National Guard. “As soon as Dexter saw me, his tail started going.” The pooch was in relatively good shape. “The vet said he has no real injuries — just a few scrapes and cuts,” said Montgomery, who got Dexter as a puppy to keep him company when he moved from Champaign. “He was malnourished, but he’s going to be fine.” The Washington tornado was part of a band of heavy storms that brought rain, high winds and a rash of twisters to Illinois, and left seven people dead in its wake. Montgomery is staying with a friend in Peoria.

and decisive leader.” Americans want what candidate Obama promised while campaigning for president, but Americans are beginning to realize how hollow his promises really were. Most of all, Americans are seeing Obama’s promises are diametrically opposed to his intentions and policies. It was bad enough when President Obama divided us against ourselves; it will be even worse when his base, particularly in the mainstream media begin to question his motives and means.

Love and Sacrifice When God, our Heavenly Father, determined to make a sin-offering for the redemption of man from the curse of sin, He searched His vast dominion and selected His most adored possession, the richest jewel, one nearest His own bosom, His own son, who was on equality with the Father, full of grace and truth, to become the one sacrifice for all mankind. No doubt, the Apostle Paul alludes to this sacrifice of wealth, in the person of God’s only Son: The Bible – “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet, for your sakes He became poor, that we, through His poverty might become rich.” (2 Cor. 8:9). Just think – the richest possession of Heaven became so poor that on one occasion he declared: The Bible – “The foxes have dens and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head.” (Matt. 8:20). Oh, my friends, how great should be the depth of our thanks and appreciation for the great love of God. It is revealed and expressed in the person of God’s beloved Son. Surely, the offering of the richest gem of Heaven – who became so poor that he did not have a place to pillow His head for a single nights rest in His own house, but enabled wretched, sin-cursed man to become a rich heir to the Kingdom of God, the only Kingdom possessing the greatest riches ever contemplated by man. Can you, my friends, imagine the love of God being so strong-great. How can man turn a deaf ear to the message of Jesus Christ. The Bible – “Come unto me - -” (Mt. 11:28). How can you, my sinner friends, rest for a day or sleep for a moment in view of the fact that you are eternity bound, lost, and facing unavoidable ruin? My friend, you are to suffer that awful punishment being reserved unto that day when the disobedient and ungodly man shall be committed to the bottomless pits of suffering – anguish – despair – desolation and eternal punishment. The sad plight in – The Bible “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Mt. 25:41). Who me? Yet, our eternal God of love and mercy does not wish that anyone be lost – in eternity. The Bible – “ - - - but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all come to repentance” (2 Pet. 3:9). The incomparable love of God made possible our salvation, only the foolish will refuse it. We must never forget, God loves mankind, Read your Bible – I John 3.

Room to run? Shares of Amazon.com set an all-time high of $399 before closing at $392.30 on Cyber Monday, which is expected to be the busiest online shopping day of the year. Itâ€™s a day when many Americans return to work from the Thanksgiving holiday and start shopping on their mobile devices or computers. When the final tally is in, research firm comScore expects sales of $2 billion, up from about $1.47 billion last year. Thatâ€™s good news for Amazon investors. Amazon stock has steadily outperformed the broader market, even as the company has failed to deliver consistent profits. Thatâ€™s because the world's largest online retailer continues to spend heavily on

filling orders, marketing and innovations. That includes partnering with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver some packages on Sunday, and even experimenting with air drones to deliver packages, as first reported on CBSâ€™ â€œ60 Minutes.â€? Amazon is also rolling out original programming for its Kindle devices, such as the comedy â€œAlpha House.â€? Even with the stockâ€™s nearly 60 percent rise this year, financial analysts are still largely behind Amazon. Steven Ju of Credit Suisse has maintained an â€œOutperformâ€? rating and a price target of $439. He cites improved efficiency from Amazonâ€™s delivery fulfillment centers as a key driver of improved profit margins.

Eye on auto sales

Today

How will you pay for retirement? Letâ€™s talk.

Automakers are due to report their latest U.S. sales figures today. Analysts anticipate that sales accelerated in November to a faster pace than a year earlier. J.D. Power and LMC Automotive estimate that sales reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 16.1 million last month, up from 15.4 million in the same month last year. That would be far above the 2009 bottom of 10.4 million.

MARKET SUMMARY G

Faring better? Bob Evans Farms has been struggling lately with sluggish sales as many consumers have reined in spending. The company, which owns its namesake restaurant chain and sells food products, also has had to cope with higher food costs and large one-time expenses. Wall Street will be looking at Bob Evansâ€™ latest quarterly results, due out today, for any signs that sales trends may be improving.

Sales tracker The weekly Johnson Redbook retail sales index has been declining in recent weeks. The index tracks data on stores open at least a year. Thatâ€™s a key indicator of a retailerâ€™s performance since it measures growth at existing stores rather than from newly opened ones. The Redbook index was down 0.5 percent two weeks ago. The reading from last weekâ€™s index is due out today.
