Investigators nab 2 on marijuana charges BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Narcotics investigators made two marijuana busts on Tuesday. Richard Laczko, 52, of 1714 Foote Street, Corinth, was arrested by the Alcorn Narcotics Unit and charged with manu-

facturing marijuana. Bond was set at $3,000. Officers responded to a complaint of possible drug activity at the residence, according to Narcotics Officer Darrell Hopkins. Laczko approached officers as they arrived, and officers explained the concerns of drug

activity. Hopkins said Laczko handed over the marijuana that was growing beside the residence, and officers found more marijuana inside the house. Laczko was taken to the county jail. In a separate case, Dusty Mc-

Donald, 25, of 205 County Road 220, Corinth, was also charged with manufacturing marijuana. Bond was set at $3,000. Hopkins said officers met with McDonald and explained why they were there. McDonald then directed the officers to a shop behind the

house where marijuana plants were growing. Officers retrieved the plants and transported McDonald to the county jail. The Farmington Police Department assisted the narcotics unit in the County Road 220 investigation.

“Money generated from the thrift store is put right back into the community,” noted the director.

Midway through 2013, Alcorn County’s unemployment rate continues to show some year-to-year improvement. Numbers released Wednesday by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security show the county’s seasonally unadjusted rate at 8.8 percent, up from May’s revised 8.3 percent and bettering the year-ago figure of 9.3 percent. The seasonal increase is typical as students flood the labor market for the summer. The county had 1,340 people categorized as unemployed for the month, compared to 1,470 a year earlier, and 14,760 employed, up from 14,460 a year ago. Initial claims for unemployment benefits during the month numbered 85, up from 68 a year ago, and continued claims numbered 981, up from 745 a year ago. Regular benefits paid totaled $142,240, up from $106,269 a year ago. Neighboring counties also saw rates creeping upward for the month, with Tishomingo at 10.5 percent, up from 10 percent in May; Prentiss, 10.3 percent, up from 10 percent; and Tippah, 11.5 percent, up from 11 percent.

The Salvation Army is back where it all started. A whirlwind move was completed by agency workers over the weekend, putting them back at a familiar spot. The agency is back up and running at 2200 Lackey Drive, a place it spent 16 years before moving to a location on U.S. Highway 72, after being closed for 31⁄2 days. The building had been used as the agency’s bale operation the last two years. “The crew worked so hard getting everything ready to open Tuesday,” said Salvation Army Director Michelle Miles. “I couldn’t ask for a better crew.” Seven employees from the local agency plus another three from Ripley worked diligently Thursday through Monday in putting items out. The agency was closed from noon Thursday through Monday before reopening Tuesday. “We still have some things we need to do, but for the most part everything is going well,” said Miles. “We had a really good day Tuesday.” Miles said new signs are in the works to draw more atten-

Volunteers are backbone of Alcorn County Fair BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A longtime educator with ties to Alcorn County has resigned from his post in Prentiss County. A new principal has been named for Thrasher following the resignation last week of principal Rivers Stroup. Prentiss County School District Superintendent Randle Downs said the district’s board of education voted last Thursday to appoint Jason Potts as principal of the K-12 school in the southwestern part of the county. Potts previously served as special education instructor at Wheeler school. Stroup, who has been waging a long battle against esophageal cancer, submitted his formal resignation last Wednesday, said Downs. Stroup previously served as assistant superintendent of the Alcorn County School District and also held the post of principal at Alcorn Central High School.

and no one is going to beat our prices.” Miles plans on bringing back the bale sales along with a senior citizen discount day on Wednesday. “Senior’s Day will allow those 55 and over to receive a 15 percent discount when they check out,” said Miles. The Salvation Army is an emergency need agency. Proceeds from the thrift store help fund the social service programs of the agency.

It takes volunteers to make things work. Alcorn County Fair committee member Danny Turner thanked the Corinth Civitan Club for its help in making the event a success during the club’s regular meeting on Wednesday. “The fair is successful because of community volunteers,” said Turner. “It’s not our fair, it’s the community’s fair and it takes everyone to make it work.” The fair is set for its third year back when gates open Sept. 1721 at the Crossroads Arena. Last year, 9,400 people took in the old-fashion fun over the five days. The number was an increase from the 8,000 who attended the previous year. “There is still a demand for an old-time fair,” said Turner. “Things have gone better than anticipated and we are always looking for new volunteers with fresh ideas … so far we have some really great plans.” Turner laid out the fair schedule for the club with the event

being kicked off by a cheer-off sponsored by The Dinner Bell. “The kids rea l l y loved it last year and we thought it was good way to start the fair,” said the committee member. This year the event will be open to squads in surrounding areas. The Crescent City Carnival will be ongoing all five nights, opening at 1 p.m. on the final day. “They are really good folks who are easy to work with,” added Turner. A couple of free events are also slated to be back. Pony rides will be available Friday and Saturday night. The popular petting zoo also returns for all five nights.

“ W e a r e building toward m a k ing the fair free as possible,” s a i d Turner. Other events set to t a k e place over the five days include REVOLVE, a contemporary Christian event, on Wednesday night. Pickin’ on the Square moves from the Alcorn County Courthouse to the Arena on Thursday night with Breaking Grass being the featured entertainment during the Pickin’ at the Fair. The Excel by 5 free children’s health screening is also set for Thursday night. The Mid-South Talent Show, which is the last qualifying show for the MidSouth Fair, is slated for Friday night. On Saturday, Miss Fairest of the Fair and the livestock show

will be two of the big events on the final day. Organizers also have plans for the lawn mower pull and antique automobiles/ tractors being back this year. “A fair is always centered around a livestock show,” said Turner. “Our show has grown tremendously and we are expecting over 100 entries this year.” A quilt show, canned and baked goods contest, and an art contest are also planned. A&E “Duck Dynasty” stars Willie and John Luke Robertson will be on hand for the final night. “The fair is bringing in lots of people into the area,” said Turner. Helping the community continues to be the focus of the fair. This year organizers plan to help local schools. “Our big focus is on education and helping our schools with some programs that seem to fall through the crack,” said Turner. “We have been fortunate to give back and if all goes well we will be able to do so much more this time.”

Exchange still lacks competition It was certainly good news last week when Humana announced that it would participate in the federal health-care exchange in the 36 Mississippi counties that hadn’t gotten any takers yet from the insurance industry. One option is better than none for Leflore, Carroll and the other 34 counties that would have been left out of what is being touted as a way for consumers to get the best deal on health insurance. It’s not going, however, to be much of a competitive marketplace - at least not at first - with only one company offering coverage options for those who us! e the exchange to buy insurance. The exchanges - an integral aspect of Obamacare - have been promoted as an Expedia-like program for health insurance. Just as travelers can go online to shop for the best deals on airline flights and hotel rooms, consumers were supposed to get a similar opportunity to comparison-shop for health insurance. It’s not playing out that way so far in Mississippi. The only counties in the state that will have more than one insurer participating in the health-care exchange are also the most populous - DeSoto and the three Jackson-area counties. Even they will have only two companies from which to pick when the exchange starts enrolling customers in October. The exchange is getting off to a slow start in Mississippi for a couple of probable reasons. ... Why is a viable health-care exchange important? It’s the only way that working- and middleclass consumers can access the tax credits and subsidies that Obamacare is offering to help them purchase coverage. The Center for Mississippi Health Policy has estimated that as many as 230,000 Mississippians - roughly 8 percent of the population - could receive tax credits totaling $900 million a year. Consumers will benefit most in those states where they receive not only the tax credits but the lower pricing that competition among insurance companies would bring. Most of Mississippi unfortunately is going to start off realizing only part of the potential savings. Greenwood Commonwealth

BP settlement prospects may be dicey In April, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood appointed his predecessor Mike Moore and Ridgeland attorney Billy Quin as outside counsels to handle the state’s litigation against BP over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The Deepwater Horizon rig blew up 50 miles off Louisiana on April 20, 2010. It took BP more than 85 days to cap the gushing well on the floor of the Gulf. By that time, an estimated 172 million gallons of crude oil had poured into the sea. The Mississippi lawsuits also name rig owner Transocean Ltd., cement contractor Halliburton and lease minority owner Anadarko Petroleum Corp. as defendants. The explosion killed 11 workers (including Mississippians) in addition to the staggering environmental and economic damages. As noted in a prior column, the choices of Moore and Quin to handle this complex case will likely prove to be wise. Progressing to a final settlement in the case remains difficult for plaintiffs and defendants alike. What may prove most interesting as Mississippi and the states of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida

press their litigation against BP is that a significant number of local (municipal Sid Salter and county) governColumnist ments are also pressing their own litigation against the oil company. U.S. District Judge Carl J. Barbier last week denied BP’s request for an injunction to temporarily suspend settlement payments until an investigation into alleged fraud in the claims payment program can be undertaken. BP has maintained that the claims office is “misinterpreting” the language of the claims payment agreement to their financial detriment and has offered to this point vague allegations of fraud. But Hood and others have characterized BP’s attempt to get an injunction “buyer’s remorse” from a claims process they helped create that is overseen by personnel they jointly recommended for the job. The government claims have an interesting twist for Mississippians. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 allows governments to

be reimbursed for net lost revenue from taxes, fees or other sources that officials couldn’t collect and couldn’t mitigate as a direct result of a spill. At a glance, the stakes appear huge for Mississippi local governments – running into perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars. Officials in Bay County, Florida (Panama City is the county seat) agreed to settle their lost-revenue claim with BP for $15.3 million, which came to $12.5 million after attorneys’ fees. The lawsuits also name rig owner Transocean Ltd., cement contractor Halliburton and lease minority owner Anadarko Petroleum Corp. as defendants. But a source close to the litigation says that while Mississippi indeed has a significant number of local government plaintiffs looking to get reimbursed for losses under the Oil Pollution Act, those claims may be compromised by the fact that the state of Mississippi collects sales tax and then doles out a percentage of those collections to local governments. Cities receive only 18.5 percent of the 7 percent sales tax collected by the state. While local governments may well collect lost fees and

assessments, the more likely outcome on lost sales tax revenue is that local governments will be forced by the courts to negotiate with the Mississippi Legislature for those sums after the state’s settlement is finalized. Since the state collects the sales tax and then reimburses the local governments, such an outcome would seem appropriate. The bottom line is that there are big expectations about how much money BP will ultimately pay to Mississippi claimants – public and private. The government claims are only a portion. But one key factor to watch is whether local governments in Mississippi with legitimate claims are forced by the simple method with which sales tax is collected in this state to negotiate with the Legislature for their fair share of BP settlement proceeds. As has been the case with the so-called “wind pool” issue in the Legislature since Hurricane Katrina, regionalism is almost certain to plague those discussions.

Americans can stop talking about race BY ROGER SIMON Columnist

We can stop talking about race now, and I, for one, am relieved. It was an exhausting, draining, demanding experience. And it lasted for more than a week. In the 10 days or so since George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of Trayvon Martin, all we have heard about is race. Which happens to be America’s favorite subject not to talk about. We talk about race only at moments of crisis, when it cannot be avoided. Otherwise, race is something that, as a nation, we wish we didn’t have to discuss at all. Sort of like the Vietnam War, only more so. I am talking about white America, of course. For black people and other minorities, race is something they have to confront on a daily basis. But even though we have a black president, that doesn’t mean he wants to lead a national conversation about race. Far from it. Yet the president spoke movingly and personally about race in an unexpected appearance in the White House briefing room on Friday. In some ways, I liked this talk more than

the famous speech that he delivered in 2008, in order to confront and distance himself from the racial comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. That speech came at a time of political crisis. The Zimmerman acquittal was a different kind of crisis. There had been demonstrations, and President Obama could not afford to have them grow into riots. But he also wanted white America to understand what black America was going through. The most quoted line was “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” But Obama went on: “And when you think about why, in the African-American community at least, there’s a lot of pain around what happened here, I think it’s important to recognize that the African-American community is looking at this issue through a set of experiences and a history that -- that doesn’t go away.” It doesn’t. Talking about it goes away, but living it does not. “There are very few African-Americans who haven’t had the experience of getting on an elevator and a woman clutching her purse nervously and holding her breath until she had a chance to get off,” Obama

said. “That happens often.” It doesn’t even have to come from strangers. In his 2008 speech, Obama talked about his white grandmother, a “woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.” These are difficult, emotional and often searing experiences that Obama talked about. So should we all talk about it? Should Americans of all races talk about it? Here, the president said, things get tricky. “You know, there has been talk about should we convene a conversation on race,” he said. “I haven’t seen that be particularly productive when politicians try to organize conversations.” Instead, he said “in families, churches and workplaces,” people could be “a little bit more honest.” “At least you ask yourself your own questions about, am I wringing as much bias out of myself as I can; am I judging people, as much as

I can, based on not the color of their skin but the content of their character?” the president said. “That would, I think, be an appropriate exercise in the wake of this tragedy.” In my opinion he is absolutely correct. And I can see such deep, serious and difficult discussions taking place across this nation approximately never. Such conversations need impetus, leadership and discipline to avoid people just shouting past each other. Obama has already found another subject. A White House release announced over the weekend that Obama would spend this week on a “series of speeches that will lay out his vision for rebuilding an economy that puts the middle class and those fighting to join it front and center.” Race? That box has been checked. Race is so ... last week. And now we can move on as a nation to resume our national silence. (Roger Simon is POLITICO’s chief political columnist.

Kerry could become 1/16,000th poorer WASHINGTON â€” Republican lawmakers are threatening to withhold salary representing less than one-sixteen thousandth of multimillionaire Secretary of State John Kerryâ€™s net worth. The House Appropriations Committeeâ€™s measure demands Kerryâ€™s agency implement recommendations of a U.S. investigator for Afghan reconstruction. If the State Department doesnâ€™t report progress, he loses a quarter of his salary for three months next year. The conditions also apply to the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan. For Kerry, whose assets totaled at least $184 million according to a 2011 Senate disclosure, it hardly matters. His wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, is reportedly worth more than $1 billion.

Space art eyes creativity in tech WASHINGTON â€” The familiar exteriors of astronautsâ€™ space suits often hide all of the ingenuity and mechanics that are built inside and were first imagined as â€œwearable spacecraft.â€? Now a new art exhibit, â€œSuited for Space,â€? opening Friday at the Smithsonianâ€™s National Air and Space Museum, highlights the creativity behind the suits that allowed humans to explore the moon and aspire to fly farther from earth.

X-ray images and photographs show the suits in intricate detail. The show is traveling next to Tampa, Philadelphia and Seattle. Two companion exhibits also highlight 50 artworks added to the Smithsonianâ€™s growing space art collection over the past decade.

Pilot Flying J revises settlement NASHVILLE, Tenn. â€” The truck-stop company owned by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has revised a class action settlement with trucking companies that were cheated out of fuel rebates. The original settlement required Pilot Flying J to pay back all money owed with interest. But it only covered the period between Jan. 1, 2008, and July 15, 2013. The revised settlement covers overcharging that occurred as far back as Jan. 1, 2005. The change answers one of the concerns raised by trucking companies that did not participate in the settlement negotiations. A federal judge in Arkansas granted preliminary approval of the revised settlement on Wednesday.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority expressed their congratulations to the boy born Monday to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, posting a greeting on Facebook that reads, â€œCongratulations on the royal addition. See you in 21 years.â€? It is not the first time that the convention bureau has seized upon hype over the British royal family. The agency issued tongue-in-cheek ads supporting Prince Harry after nude photos of him partying in Las Vegas surfaced last year.

Ripley citizens to vote on alcohol RIPLEY â€” Voters in Ripley will vote Aug. 13 on whether to legalize the sale of liquor, beer and light wine within the town limits. WTVA-TV in Tupelo reports that the city board set the date for the election this week after about 800 of the cityâ€™s 3,800 registered voters petitioned for it. Alcohol is available for sale in areas within 20 minutes of Ripley, including New Albany and Middleton, Tenn. State law now allows city-only votes on liquor. Previously, all liquor votes in Mississippi have been county-wide, even though liquor and wine can be sold only within municipal boundaries.

NTSB: Nose gear â€˜collapsed rearwardâ€™ NEW YORK â€” The National Transportation Safety Board says the nose gear of a Southwest Airlines jet collapsed backward and into the body of the aircraft following a hard landing at New Yorkâ€™s LaGuardia Airport. The NTSB found the landing gear â€œcollapsed rearward and upward into the fuselage, damaging the electronics bay that houses avionics.â€? The agency said on its Twitter feed the plane skidded 2,175 feet before stopping at the edge of the runway Monday. It posted a photo showing the jetâ€™s electronics bay penetrated by the landing gear with only the right axle still attached. Investigators recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders on Tuesday. Theyâ€™ll be analyzed by the NTSB.

New trial date set for ex-police chief JACKSON â€” A federal judge has rescheduled for October the trial of a former Mississippi police chief charged with demanding money or property in exchange for dropping criminal charges against people. Former Mendenhall Police Chief Donald â€œBruceâ€? Barlow was already facing eight charges when a second indictment in May added nine new charges. Barlowâ€™s lawyer had sought more time to prepare for trial. U.S. District Judge David C. Bramlette III granted the request and set trial for Oct. 7 in Jackson. Prosecutors say Barlow sometimes made

people sign over their vehicles in exchange for him dropping charges and also demanded cash payments, in one case $4,500.

$350,000 lawsuit decision upheld JACKSON â€” The state Court of Appeals has upheld a $350,000 verdict against Harrison Banks stemming from a fight outside an Oxford bar in 2009. Banks was acquitted of simple assault in municipal court. A jury found in a 2011 civil suit that Banks had to pay $350,000 in damages to Brandon Lockhart of Oxford. Circuit Judge Andrew Howorth denied a motion for a new trial in 2012. The Appeals Court on Tuesday rejected Banksâ€™ arguments that the evidence did not prove he was the assailant.

JACKSON â€” Parents have until Aug. 30 to register for a fingerscanning system to sign children in and out of federally subsidized child care. Jill Dent, director of the Division of Early Childhood Care and Development at the state Department of Human Services, announced the deadline Wednesday. By then, parents and other caregivers will have to visit county DHS offices to scan their fingers into the system, or lose their subsidy. The machines will be required starting Oct. 1 for 18,000 children whose care is subsidized by federal grants. Deployment was de-

Witness to Till lynching dies Associated Press

CHICAGO — A witness who went into hiding after testifying at the Emmett Till trial about hearing the lynching victim’s screams has died in a Chicago suburb at the age of 76. After the 1955 trial, Willie Louis fled his native Mississippi for Chicago. He changed his name and told no one of his connection to the case, not even his future wife. Juliet Louis only learned

of the link when one of her husband’s aunts mentioned it to her eight years after their marriage. She said Wednesday her husband died July 18 at a hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. The lynching of 14-yearold Emmett Till in 1955 galvanized the civil rights movement. Louis says her husband knew of the dangers he would face, but testified because “it weighed on his conscience.”

Authorities detect no sheen near burning rig Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — An out-of-control natural gas well burned Wednesday off Louisiana hours after it ignited following a blowout, though authorities said there was no sign of a slick on the surface of the water. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement says it saw no sheens near the well during flyovers Wednesday morning. The lack of sheen indicates the gas is burning off without releasing oil or other hydrocarbons — which are sometimes found in gas wells — into the water. The fire broke out late Tuesday following a blowout in the morning, authorities said. Forty-four workers were evacuated from the drilling rig, and no injuries were reported. Officials stressed that the blowout wouldn’t be

nearly as damaging as the 2010 BP oil spill. That disaster included an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling that killed 11 workers and the release of millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Natural gas generally poses much less of an environmental risk to the Gulf than crude oil, said several scientists contacted about Tuesday’s blowout. “Gas being discharged now would not necessarily affect the water system of the Gulf proper,” said Donald Boesch, president of the University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science and a member of the federal panel that investigated the BP oil spill. That’s because it’s likely most of the gas is venting directly into the atmosphere given the fire and shallow depth of the well, he said.

Thankful for the lessons my father’s taught me BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Of his father, Mark Twain said, “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twentyone, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.” As a teenager, I thought the same way about my father: but, after going off to college for four years, completing an overseas military tour of duty, and returning to the Mississippi Delta, my attitude toward Dad, like Twain’s,

took a 180-degree turn. While working under him for twenty-one years as manager of his cotton farming and ginning operation, I began to understand and appreciate the reasons for his tough ways, his blunt-spoken, taciturn nature, and iron-fisted supervision of employees. During the Great Depression, he had to drop out of school and work to help the family survive. He learned the value of a dollar, and held tightly to every one of them he earned. As a boy, Dad put in long days as a carpen-

ter’s helper, and in time became a master carpenter himself. When World War II broke out, he volunteered and served this nation four years. Then, with no education, no money, and no credit, he rented two hundred acres from a wealthy doctor who agreed to let him work the land on a cropsharing basis. How he supported a large family and met his financial obligations, I’ll never know, but he did, and in 1953, after borrowing every penny he could and convincing a production lender to grant him a

crop loan, he took control of Dunleith Plantation and never looked back. Fifty-two cotton crops later, he retired. Now that I am a father and a grandfather, I often reflect on what my father instilled in me that has done the most to help me find my way in life. I have no doubt about what his most valuable gift to me was: his ways. They worked for him, and he knew they’d work for me. Dad taught me to face problems head on, to never postpone dealing with them. To do so was cowardice in his mind. He

taught me to be unflinching in carrying out the responsibilities of supervision. When he put me in charge of his workers, he made sure that I never asked them to do what I wouldn’t do, meaning that I had to go to the field at daylight with them and not return until sunset. My responsibility was to make certain they earned their wages. Now, as a college teacher, I deal with my students the same way. I have no patience with those who have been inculcated with the belief that their comfort zones,

self-esteem, and tender sensibilities must be preserved. As Dad taught me, I teach them: People deserve only what they earn. I’ve never met a man who was my father’s equal, and every Father’s Day I thank him for the most valuable gift he gave me: his ways.

Shiloh hosting demonstration On Saturday, July 27, the Shiloh Artillery Crew will be presenting cannon firing demonstrations at Shiloh Battlefield. The crew will be firing the park’s 6-pounder smoothbore cannon, which saw its first battles during the Mexican-American War in 1846-48. “There were more 6-pounders at Shiloh than any other type of cannon,” said Park Ranger Joe Davis. “Nearly 40 percent of the big guns in this battle were 6-pounders,” Davis

noted, “with fifty-six being used by the Confederate batteries and 40 being used by the Union forces.” The cannon firing demonstrations will take place at 11 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday across from the park’s Visitor Center. Each program will last approximately 30-minutes, and interpret the weapon, its projectiles, and the procedures Civil War artillery crews used to fire the gun during the war. As always, these demonstrations are free and open to the public.

The Visitor Center and bookstore at Shiloh Battlefield will be open during normal operating hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Shiloh movie, “Shiloh-Fiery Trial,” is shown in the Visitor Center on the hour beginning at 8 a.m., with the last showing at 4 p.m. daily. For more information contact the park visitor center at 731-689-5696, visit the park website at www.nps.gov/shil or find the park on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ShilohNMP.

State Briefs Judge dismissed exdeputy’s lawsuit ABERDEEN — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former Lee County deputy who alleged he was fired because he talked to reporters about a New Year’s Eve bar fight. Rodricus Carltez Hurst argued in his lawsuit that the firing violated his rights to free speech when he responded to a question from reporters on Jan. 1, 2012, that Mississippi State University football player Chad Bumphis of Tupelo had been arrested after the fight, then released on his own recognizance. The sheriff’s department has a policy of employee termination for releasing information without authorization.

Aldermen upholds vote to fire administrator STARKVILLE — The Starkville Board of Aldermen has reaffirmed its decision to fire city administrator Lynn Spruill. The Starkville Daily News reports the board voted 5-2 Tuesday to override Mayor Parker Wiseman’s veto of its early decision. Alderman Ben Carver, who voted to dismiss Spruill, says board members had the right to select with whom they wanted to work. He says other city employees had nothing to fear in terms of losing their jobs. Wiseman says he was disappointed there was no discussion or explanation for Spruill’s dismissal. Wiseman says Spruill deserves to know why she was fired.

Ellisville dog shelter demolished ELLISVILLE — Days after a teacher posted a

petition online against the operation of an animal holding facility in Ellisville, the facility had turned into a pile of rubble. The Clarion-Ledger reports the structure that used to temporarily house animals in Ellisville was demolished Tuesday after a change.org petition garnered more than 7,000 signatures and got thousands of shares on Facebook across the country.

Jury seated to hear election case HATTIESBURG — It took close to seven hours to pick a jury to hear testimony in a lawsuit contesting the results of the recent Hattiesburg mayor’s election. Now it’s on to opening arguments, with the legal team of mayoral candidate Dave Ware to presents its open statement Wednesday at the Forrest County Courthouse.

Police: man mauled by his own pit bull WAVELAND — Police say a Waveland man was hospitalized after he was mauled by his pit bull. Detective Eddie Peterson tells The Sun Herald the attack continued for about 20 minutes Tuesday before police arrived at the man’s home. When police arrived, Peterson says they found the dog had latched on to the man and appeared to have serious injuries. He says officers got the dog off the man, and he was taken to a hospital.

MSU awarded grant for juvenile study STARKVILLE — Mississippi State is among six national universities and a health systems provider receiving a more than $2 million research grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Juvenile JusticeTranslational Research on Interventions for Adolescents in the Legal System--JJ-TRIALS, for short--is a five-year cooperative agreement to determine how juvenile justice programs may effectively adopt science-based prevention and treatment services for drug abuse and HIV. In addition to the Bethesda, Md.-based NIDA, MSU will be working with the Chestnut Health Systems of Illinois, Columbia, Emory, Temple and Texas Christian universities, and the University of Kentucky. “The people working on this project are wellknown social scientists and criminologists,” said research professor Angela Robertson, principal investigator for the MSU’s TRIALS Research

Center and associate director of the university’s nationally recognized Social Science Research Center. “We are proud Mississippi State is a part of this group and excited about the project going forward,” she added. Robertson said MSU will be involved in testing implementation strategies to improve the delivery of substance-abuse prevention and treatment practices for youth in the juvenile justice system in 12 Mississippi locations. The project has the potential to advance implementation science and to positively impact juvenile justice involved youth. “We’ve learned how to treat and prevent alcohol and drug use; the issue is why more treatment and prevention providers aren’t using these practices,” Robertson said. “How do we get these organizations to adopt effective practices that have backing from scientific research?” Project co-investigators

at MSU include Connie Baird-Thomas and David Morse, along with Diana Bowser of Brandeis University. Baird-Thomas is associate director of the Social Science Center for Policy Studies and director of the Mississippi Health Policy Research Center; Morse, professor of counseling and educational psychology; Bowser, a senior research associate at Brandeis’ Heller School for Social Policy and Management. John Bartkowski, sociology professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, is a consultant on the project. The MS TRIALS Research Center also includes two non-scientist partners: treatment partner Mark Stovall, clinical services coordinator with the Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Services, Mississippi Department of Mental Health, and juvenile justice partner James Maccarone, director of the Department of Human Services’ youth division.

“The Only Time God Ever Got in A Hurry” How many of you remember your teens and twenties? How many

of you would like to forget much of your teens or your twenties? I have had some very interesting experiences in both decades that I managed to live through, but would rather forget. When we’re young, we think we have the world figured out. There’s an old saying that goes something to the effect of, “In your entire life, you’ll never be as smart as you were when you were a teenager”… or something like that. Whatever, I’m sure I knew the quote better as a teen. Think about it: before we’ve lived life, we believed we had life figured out. Before we truly knew anything, we convinced ourselves that we knew everything. Before we learned patience, we were extremely impatient. This certainly seems to be the case of the young man whose story Jesus tells in Luke 15:11-32, a young man better known as ‘The Prodigal Son’. We’re all familiar with the story, but I want to share something interesting found in this story. Throughout the Bible we see that God is very patient. When we consider the actions He took, they overwhelmingly show that He never gets in a hurry. Consider when God sent Joshua to march around the walls of Jericho in Joshua chapter 6. He could have collapsed the walls immediately upon Joshua setting his eyes on them, but He didn’t. He had the army march around the walls for 6 days. This was an act of patience. Or how about how God dealt with Naaman in 2 Kings 5:1-19? God told Naaman through the prophet to go dip into the water seven times. He could have healed him on the first plunge, yet He required Naaman to dip seven times. This again, was a lesson in patience. Consider how long God waited to send Jesus to Earth? Thousands of years. Again, another example of Gods great patience. However, let’s take a look at the one time in the Bible that says that God got in a hurry about anything. Going back to the prodigal son (who is a representative of you and me), notice that the father (representing God) sees his son “while he was still afar off” and ran out to meet him with a hug and kissed him (Luke 15:20). The only time God ever got in a hurry in the entire Bible was when one of His children was returning to Him. While reading this story, I notice two more things of significance that I’d like to share with you. First, the father was obviously anxious and waiting for his wayward child’s return home. Luke 15:20 says the father saw him, “when he was still a great way off.” The Father recognized his son’s youth and waited for the day when wisdom and life experience would bring the son back home. The Father was found waiting and watching, and because of this, He recognized His son from a great way off. Second, notice that the father did not require the son to come groveling down at his feet before he accepted him back home. It’s true that the son had to turn away from where he was and return back to the Father. But once he did, and the Father saw him from afar off, He ran to meet him where His son was on the road leading back home. The decision was already made by the son to return home, and the father met him where he was and welcomed him. Once we make the decision to obey His will, He doesn’t require us to be perfect before He accepts us as His children. He accepts us where we are, in the condition we are in, and walks us step by step into perfection. God accepts sinners and turns them into saints. We’ve all heard the saying, “patience is a virtue”. Well, I’m glad God knows when to exercise it and when not!

Pickup-truck pickup? The housing recovery has given a boost to sales of big pickup trucks, sending their prices higher. Investors will be watching today to see if that trend helped drive earnings higher for General Motors in the second quarter. The automaker has said that earnings might be weaker than in the first quarter because the company was selling off some pickup truck models and launching new ones. GMâ€™s latest quarterly report is due out today.
