Board hopes for steady taxes in new budget BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

County supervisors are looking to hold taxes steady as they put together a fiscal 2013-2014 budget. The Board of Supervisors spent Monday morning in a work session examining requests from each of the general county departments and outside supported agencies, plugging in a number for each one. Once the proposed budget is complete, a public hearing will be scheduled for early September.

After most departments and agencies took 2 percent cuts in the current budget, several sought increases this year. All requests in general county total $6,658,194, while the county spent $6,481,489 on those departments and agencies in the current budget. The board discussed pay raises for some office employees who haven’t had one in the last couple of years. It was noted that several departments gave pay raises last year even while facing the 2 percent cut.

The county faces increased retirement costs and has learned that a 5 percent Blue Cross Blue Shield price increase is expected Jan. 1. With the 911 operations facing a budget deficit, the county plans to approach entities such as the hospital and Corinth police and fire departments for which 911 dispatches to contribute financially to support 911 operations. The volunteer fire departments and Mississippi Highway Patrol would not be asked to contribute.

Among the line items, the board put the constables at $14,700, unchanged from last year and short of the $6,500 increase the constables sought in accordance with a new state law that permits counties to pay the employer contribution on the net fee income of each constable to the Public Employees’ Retirement System. Among outside agencies, the board penciled in the CorinthAlcorn Humane Society at $12,500, a 50 percent cut, citing issues with animals not be-

ing accepted. While the overall millage is on track to hold at 105.76, there will likely be some slight shuffling. General county would pick up a few hundredths of a mill from Northeast Community College maintenance, enlargement and vocational line items and would temporarily pick up a small amount from the reappraisal millage. Representatives of The Alliance presented a budget request for funding of 2 mills during the work session.

Glen’s Charlie Crum has had a busy summer of harvesting watermelons that weigh 100 pounds.

Big rind on the vine Local farmer produces gigantic watermelons BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

It has been a summer of heavy lifting for Charlie Crum. An assortment of Truck Buster, Carolina Cross and Cobb Gem watermelons have kept the life-long grower busy. The watermelons – most weighing anywhere from 60 to 100 pounds – were ready for sale at the Farmer’s Market on Fulton Drive Monday. “People can hardly believe it when they see them,” said Crum of the gigantic melons. A couple of customers were able to find one ripe for their picking and put down the $10 needed to take it home one of the hundred pounders. “The biggest one that I took time to weigh was 112 pounds,” said the Glen farmer of last year’s prized watermelon. “It

“People can hardly believe it when they see them.” Charlie Crum Watermelon grower takes a lot of hard work and for everything to go right to grow them this big.” Crum, who is helped by his wife Joyce, said there was too much rain for watermelons this year. “I have never seen it rain so much in July,” he said. Last week, the 67-year-old sold five loads of the huge stripped melons. He planted back in May and anticipates another 2-3 more weeks of passing the prizes off his 2-acre watermelon spread to customers.

According to expert growers, the Truck Buster is a heavy yielder of large fruit with averages of over 50 pounds. When conditions are favorable, some fruit will weigh 80-90 pounds. Giant Cobb Gem is a variety known to produce watermelons of 125 pounds or more. Its first documented appearance under the name of “Cobb’s Gem” occurred after the turn of the century when it was exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904. Some Carolina Cross watermelons have grown to weigh over 200 pounds. The oblong and light green stripped variety are ready to harvest 100 days after sowing. “They grow big, but usually aren’t as good tasting as the small ones,” added Crum.

Rehearsals are set to start Aug. 19 with performances scheduled for Sept. 19-22. “This is a great way for new actors to begin participating in local theatre,” said director Cynthia Potter.

Farmington looking for volunteers, sponsors BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Event organizers are looking for volunteers, sponsors and donations for the 151st Battle of Farmington Reenactment. “We appreciate anybody who wants to volunteer or help out in any way,” said Farmington Mayor Dale Fortenberry. “This is a nonprofit event. Any money we make we put right back into it the next year.” Hosted by the Blue-Gray Alliance, the event will be held Oct. 10-13, 2013, on over 160 acres of the original battleground in Farmington. As of today, reenactors have signed up from as far away as Texas, Gettysburg, Pa., and 16 other states. “Last year was big, but it looks like this year we’re going to surpass it by a thousand,” said Fortenberry. “It gets bigger every year.” One group of Iowa reenactors are coming to Alcorn County for the first time to see where their ancestors fought in the Battle of Corinth. “It brings in a lot of folks,”

said Fortenberry. “The whole county and City of Corinth profit. That’s what it’s for — not just a Farmington event.” A new addition to this year’s event will be a fundraiser for the Verandah-Curlee House featuring a night with the generals at the Corinth Coliseum on Friday, Oct. 11. The fundraiser will give the public a chance to visit with living history portrayals of 10 famous generals from the War Between the States. Admission will be free, and funds will be raised via donations. On Thursday and Friday approximately 1,000 kids from area schools will travel to Farmington for the School Days, when the battlefield becomes a tool for educating the citizens of tomorrow about Farmington’s (and the nation’s) yesterday. For Fortenberry, the School Days are always the most rewarding parts of the event. “If you come out one time and see those kids, how they get involved and how interested they are in what we’re doing, I promise you that you’ll be back,” he said. “That’s what makes it Please see SPONSORS | 2

Youngster rides to national title BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Racing is in the blood of 7-year-old Casey Cochran. A national championship medal is also around his neck. Cochran, the grandson of Dwayne and Barbara McLemore of Corinth, rode his way to the 4-6 year-old limited division crown at the Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships earlier this month. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the most important motocross amateur race, held at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn., in the world. “It’s the Olympics for amateur motorcycle riders in the United States,” said Dwayne. “Just to get to go is a honor.”

“It’s the Olympics for amateur motorcycle riders in the United States. Just to get to go is a honor.” Dwayne McLemore Grandfather Riders have to qualify to reach the national event. The top 42 riders in 34 classes converge on the ranch for six days. Cochran, the son of Doug and Amy Cochran of Arlington, Tenn., competed in three 15-minute – plus two laps – motos during the champion-

ships. He finished second in the first two motos before bouncing back from a crash to claim the final race. “The person with the least amount of points after the three races wins the title,” said McLemore. Cochran, on his Cobra 50 motorcycle, finished with five points to claim the national race which was broadcast live for the first time this year. “He comes from a racing family,” said his grandfather, who’s was also a top motorcycle rider during his day. “Casey has raced all over the country and won several titles.” The young national champ, sponsored by Lake Hill Track-

Former mayor’s embezzlement trial continued Associated Press

HERNANDO — Former Southaven Mayor Greg Davis’ trial on charges of embezzlement and false pretense has been rescheduled for a second time. DeSoto County District Attorney John Champion tells The Commercial Appeal Davis’ trial was scheduled for Aug. 19 but has been continued until Dec. 9.

Davis, 47, was indicted by a DeSoto County grand jury on the felony charges in December. The three-count indictment accuses Davis of embezzlement by a public official linked to his cityleased vehicle and using city gasoline in his personal vehicle. The third charge is false pretense involving a $1,000 check Davis received from the city for

Navy switch could hurt Ingalls composite center Associated Press

GULFPORT — A money-saving move by the U.S. Navy has officials at Huntington Ingalls Industries unsure of the future for the company’s Gulfport shipyard, which employs 650 people. The Composite Center of Excellence held the first two contracts to build deckhouses for Zumwalt-class destroyers, but lost the third to General Dynamics’ Bath Iron Works in Maine. The Gulfport plant also builds composite masts for the Navy’s San Antonio (LPD 17) class of amphibious ships. “The company is currently evaluating the future utilization of this facility based upon the U.S. Navy’s decision,” Ingalls Shipbuilding spokesman Bill Glenn told The Sun Herald. The deckhouse, hanger and some launching system modules for the first two destroyers were built in Gulfport. But the contract for those parts of the third destroyer went to General Dynamics’ Bath Iron Works in Maine.

“The company is currently evaluating the future utilization of this facility based upon the U.S. Navy’s decision.” Bill Glenn Ingalls Shipbuilding spokesman Ingalls has delivered steel components for the second destroyer, which is being built at Bath Iron Works. Ingalls is building the composite deckhouse and hangar in Gulfport. The Navy moved from composites to steel to save money on construction, said Chris Johnson, a spokesman for the Naval Sea Systems Command. The composite, of carbon fiber materials with balsa wood cores, is as strong as steel but requires little maintenance and is very lightweight, according to Huntington Ingalls. A company news release said it is corrosion resistant, cutting maintenance costs, and its lightness improves hull stability, allows more payload and higher speed.

Johnson said the Navy had been using the composites to meet stability requirements. “As we’ve constructed the first ship and we’ve made some minimal changes in design we’ve determined that we had enough weight margin that we could go with steel,” Johnson said. “It was the cheaper option; that’s the way we went.” Bath Iron Works’ contract for the first two destroyers, is $1.8 billion, Johnson said. It will get an additional $212 million for the steel work on the third. “HII was only under contract for the two composite deckhouses, two composite hangars, and two sets of steel aft missile-launching cells,” he said. Johnson said Huntington Ingalls’ estimate

for those two assemblies totaled $767 million, Johnson said. Johnson could not comment on the Navy’s future use of the Gulfport plant. “It’s difficult to say. I’d hate to make a statement that would say either way,” he said. “Any time we design a new ship class we’re going to look at all the potential, all the options.” In October, Huntington Ingalls announced delivery of the composite deckhouse for the destroyer Zumwalt, the first in its class. “This is a significant delivery in the history of Ingalls Shipbuilding,” program manager Steve Sloan said in a 2012 press release. “Building composite ship structures takes a very unique skill-set and work ethic, and the men and women in Gulfport have done an outstanding job. This is one of the largest carbon composite structures ever built, and we are delivering a fine product with the utmost quality.”

This is not Davis’ only court case this year. The former mayor is slated to return to Jackson Oct. 16-18 to complete the civil trial in which he has been sued by Mississippi Auditor Stacey Pickering. Pickering ordered Davis to repay more than $170,000 to Southaven taxpayers. Through supporters, Davis has repaid

$96,000 but disputes he still owes more than $70,000, money that the auditor alleges Davis misspent on personal trips, expensive dinners and clothes. Davis lost his re-election bid during municipal elections in June. A federal investigation into Davis by the FBI is also ongoing, said FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden.

17,316 hours. Alex Corban, an R3SM volunteer coordinator, tells The Clarion-Ledger groups have volunteered to help from as far away as Pennsylvania and Colorado. “I have the most fun job at R3SM because I get to see the finished product, and I get to be with the homeowners while they’re working on their homes, and it’s quite rewarding,” Corban said. Corban said the Federal Emergency Management

Agency provided a list of damaged homes to R3SM and Volunteer Hattiesburg, and the homeowners are contacted to determine whether they still need assistance. Then, case managers and construction estimators survey the damage, and the properties that meet certain criteria are placed into the hands of volunteers.

Please God The complete study of Christianity includes learning the meaning of religious authority. Who is the source of authority in Christianity? How is authority revealed to man? What is Christ’s place in religious authority? God, all powerful creator of the universe, is the source of religious authority. God is supreme ruler of the universe. The writer of Hebrews in the ﬁrst century said that “God -- made the worlds.” He further states that now God declares His will to men through His Son, Jesus Christ. It reads, “God, who at sundry times and divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds”—Heb. 1:1-2. Many centuries before Christ lived on earth people followed God by accepting the authority of Moses and the prophets. Now God reveals His will to us through Jesus Christ. The New Testament writer Matthew tells us about the time when God showed His approval of His Son. On this occasion Moses, Old Testament law giver, and Elijah, Old Testament prophet, were with Christ on a mountain and God spoke. Matthew writes, “while He was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.”—Matt. 17:5. This command of God for man to accept Jesus’ teachings was given before His death on the cross. After Jesus’ resurrection from the dead His authority, or law, took the place of the Old Testament law. “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justiﬁed by faith. Buy after that faith is come, we are no longer under the schoolmaster”— Gal. 3:24-25. It is useless for men to try to please God today by obeying the teachings of Moses and the prophets of the Old Testament. Men must accept the teachings of Jesus Christ. His divine law is presented in the New Testament scriptures. The person who rejects the authority of Christ is guilty of rejecting the will of God—Luke 10:16. He who accepts the authority of Christ accepts the will of God. Jesus said, “my doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me”—John 7:16. God is the source of all religious authority. How is His authority revealed to men? God reveals His authority to us through His son. Jesus Christ. Matt. 28:18 we must obey His word to be saved.

Corinth, Miss.

Are we serious about education? Two recent events -- one on the east coast and one on the west coast -- raise painful questions about whether we are really serious when we say that we want better education for minority children. Thomas One of these events was an Sowell announcement by Dunbar High School in Washington, Columnist D.C., that it plans on Aug.19 to begin “an entire week of activities to celebrate the grand opening of our new $160 million state-of-the-art school building.” The painful irony in all this is that the original Dunbar High School building, which opened in 1916, housed a school with a record of high academic achievements for generations of black students, despite the inadequacies of the building and the inadequacies of the financial support that the school received. By contrast, today’s Dunbar High School is just another ghetto school with abysmal standards, despite Washington’s record of having some of the country’s highest levels of money spent per pupil -- and some of the lowest test score results. Housing an educational disaster in an expensive new building is all too typical of what political incentives produce. We pay a lot of lip service to educational excellence. But too many institutions and individuals that have produced good educational results for minority students have not only failed to get support, but have even been undermined. A recent example on the west coast is a charter school operation in Oakland called the American Indian Model Schools. The high school part of this operation has been ranked among the best high schools in the nation. Its students’ test scores rank first in its district and fourth in the state of California. But the California State Board of Education announced plans to shut down this charter school -- immediately. Its students would have had to attend inferior public schools this September, except that a challenge in court stopped this sudden shutdown. Why such a hurry to take drastic action? Because of a claim of financial improprieties against the charter schools’ founder and former head, Ben Chavis. Ben Chavis has not been found guilty of anything in a court of law. Nor has he even been brought to trial, though that would seem to be the normal thing to do if the charges were serious. More important, the children have not been accused of anything. Nor is there any reason for urgency in immediately depriving them of an excellent education they are not likely to get in their local public schools. What Ben Chavis and the American Indian Model Schools are really guilty of is creating academic excellence that shows up the public school system, both by this school’s achievements and by the methods used to create those achievements, which go against the educational dogmas prevailing in the failing public schools. If it seems strange that there would be a vendetta against an educator who has defied the education establishment and thereby improved the education of minority students, the fact is that Ben Chavis is only the latest in a long line of educators who have done just that -- and aroused animosity, and even vindictiveness, as a result. Washington’s former public school head, Michelle Rhee, raised test scores in that city’s school system and was demonized by the education establishment and politicians. She has left. Marva Collins, who established a very successful private school for black children in Chicago, doing so on a shoestring, was likewise the target of hostility when she was a dedicated teacher in the public schools. Other examples could be cited of educators who produced outstanding results for minority students -- in New York, Houston and other places -- and faced the wrath of the education establishment, which sees schools as places to provide jobs for teachers, rather than education for students, and which will not tolerate challenges to its politically correct dogmas.

Prayer for today Lord, we are grateful You take negative circumstances and make them work for our good. We pray You help us to acknowledge “all things work together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.” Amen.

A verse to share “How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!” — Proverbs 16:16

Low-paying jobs that are high-stress Back in May, President Obama honored the nation’s 143 fallen law enforcement officers at the National Peace Officers Memorial Service, an annual ceremony honoring law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in the previous year. The president said all the right things: “We can never repay our debt to these officers and their families, but we must do what we can, with all that we have, to live our lives in a way that pays tribute to their memory. We should not pause and remember to thank first responders and police officers only in the wake of tragedy. We should do it every day. “And those of us who have the privilege to lead should all strive to support you better -- whether it’s making sure police departments and first responders have the resources they need to do their jobs, or the reforms that are required to protect more of our officers and their families from the senseless epidemics of violence that all too often wrack our cities and haunt our neighborhoods,” said Obama.

But in truth, the nation too often leaves lawmen to languish in a high-stress Sid Salter job that oflow Columnist ficers pay and high danger. That’s true here in Mississippi as well. Mississippi ranks fourth in the nation over the last five years in the average annual death rate per 50,000 law enforcement and corrections officers at 8.2 after 12 officers lost their lives. The statistics came from an analysis by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The NLEOMF reports that on average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty somewhere in the United States every 57 hours. Since the first known line-of-duty death in 1791, more than 19,000 U.S. law enforcement officers have made the ultimate sacrifice. Governing Magazine reports that an analysis of fatality data showed states in the southeastern U.S. re-

corded the nation’s highest per capita death rates. Not including states with less than a few thousand officers, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Georgia, Arkansas and Louisiana were found to have the most police deaths given their number of officers. About half of fatalities result from traffic accidents. Shootings also account for a high number of deaths, followed by falls and workrelated illnesses. Mississippi has a total of 245 line of duty deaths among law enforcement officers from causes that range from the 1967 explosion of a fire extinguisher that killed Tunica Police Chief R.O. Snow to a July 20 incident in which Jackson Police Officer Bruce Daniel Jacobs was struck by a car while on duty. Those 245 officers dies from assaults (5), auto accidents (26), drowning (1), gunfire (164), heart attack (6), motorcycle accident (8), stabbing (6), struck by train (3), struck by vehicle (11), vehicular assault (9), and vehicular pursuit (5), according to the website Officer Down.

Despite the high degree of danger, media Mississippi law enforcement salaries were $47,070 for supervisors of police and detectives, $45,110 for detectives and criminal investigators, and $30,370 for police and sheriff’s patrol officers according to the U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Couple the dangers of the job with low pay, an extremely high divorce rate among law enforcement officers, and stress and there’s little wonder that the line of duty deaths of our first responders evoke such passions among their colleagues. As Mississippi’s economy begins to recover and local governments get on firmer footing, the state’s law enforcement community deserves some consideration from county and municipal governments in terms of compensation. They do a thankless job and for the most part, these officers do their jobs well. (Daily Corinthian and syndicated columnist Sid Salter can be contacted at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)

Colleges rife with admissions officers’ cheating What is the most intellectually dishonest profession around? My nomination: the admissions officers at highly selective colleges and universities. Evidence in support of this comes from, of all places, a recent article in The New York Times. The writer is Ruth Starkman, and the subject is her experience as a reader of applications to the highly selective University of California, Berkeley. “Admissions officers were careful not to mention gender, ethnicity and race during our training sessions,” she notes. But when she asked one privately, “What are we doing about race?” she was told it was illegal to consider it, but that they were looking at “the ‘bigger picture’ of the applicant’s life.” Racial discrimination in state universities was made illegal in 1996 when California voters by a 55 percent margin passed UC Regent Ward Connerly’s Proposition 209. At first UC admissions officers enforced the law, as Richard Sander (a UCLA law professor) and Stuart Taylor report in their book, “Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It’s Intended to Help, and Why

Universities Won’t Admit It.” The result was that fewer blacks and HispanMicahel ics were adBarone mitted to the most selective Columnist UC schools, Berkeley and UCLA, but more were admitted to and graduated from less selective UC campuses. But then admissions officers started to cheat. They declared that they were using “holistic” criteria, trying to gauge from students’ applications the “bigger picture” of their life. In practice, this meant racial discrimination in favor of blacks and Hispanics, and against Asians and whites Starkman’s job was to read applications and rate them on a numeric scale, with 1’s being the most desirable. She “was told I needed more 1’s and referrals. A referral is a flag that a student’s grades and scores do not make the cut but the application merits a special read because of ‘stressors’ -- socioeconomic disadvantages that admissions offices can use to increase diversity.” It’s not hard to imagine what “stressors” might in-

clude. A Spanish surname. A home address or high school in a heavily black neighborhood. An essay recounting “the hardships that prevented the student from achieving better grades, test scores and honors.” So the admissions officers were tipping the scale heavily in favor of certain students -- and heavily against others. “When I asked about an Asian student who I thought was a 2 but had received only a 3, the officer noted, ‘Oh, you’ll get a lot of them,’” Starkman writes. “She said the same when I asked why a low-income student with top grades and scores, and who had served in the Israeli Army, was a 3.” Now I am aware that there are arguments against a college just admitting the students with the highest test scores. It does probably serve some educational purpose to bring together people with different interests and different strengths. But racial discrimination is unlawful and has been rightly repudiated by the American people. Unfortunately admissions officers are doing their intended beneficiaries no favors. That’s proved beyond demur by Sander and Taylor’s “Mismatch.” Black

and Hispanic students tend to drop out of schools when they find themselves less well prepared than their schoolmates. Those intending to major in science and engineering tend to back out of those fields. Many do not graduate yet are stuck with mounds of student loan debt. Meanwhile, there appears to be a ceiling on the number of Asians in selective private schools, similar to the ceiling imposed on Jews there from the 1920s to the 1960s. Just 19 percent of students at Stanford and 16 percent in the Ivy League are Asian -numbers that have remained static for two decades despite increasing numbers of Asian applicants. This is, in my American Enterprise Institute colleague Charles Murray’s phrase, “discrimination against hardworking, highachieving young people because of the color of their skin.” His word for it: “despicable.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Michael Barone, senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner, is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)

Nation Briefs NYC policy targeted minorities, judge rules NEW YORK â€” The nationâ€™s largest police department illegally and systematically singled out large numbers of blacks and Hispanics under its controversial stop-andfrisk policy, a federal judge ruled Monday while appointing an independent monitor to oversee major changes, including body cameras on some officers. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would appeal the ruling, which was a stinging rebuke to a policy he and the New York Police Department have defended as a life-saving, crime-fighting tool that helped lead the city to historic crime lows. The legal outcome could affect how and whether other cities employ the tactic. â€œThe cityâ€™s highest officials have turned a blind eye to the evidence that officers are conducting stops in a racially discriminatory manner,â€? U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin wrote in her ruling. â€œIn their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting â€˜the right peopleâ€™ is racially discriminatory.â€? Â

Holder goes after mandatory sentencing WASHINGTON â€” Attorney General Eric Holder announced a major shift Monday in federal sentencing policies, targeting long mandatory terms that he said have flooded the nationâ€™s prisons with low-level drug offenders and diverted crime-fight-

ing dollars that could be far better spent. If Holderâ€™s policies are implemented aggressively, they could mark one of the most significant changes in the way the federal criminal justice system handles drug cases since the government declared a war on drugs in the 1980s As a first step, Holder has instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences. His next step will be working with a bipartisan group in Congress to give judges greater discretion in sentencing. â€œWe will start by fundamentally rethinking the notion of mandatory minimum sentences for drug-related crimes,â€? Holder told the American Bar Association in San Francisco. Â

System would cut LA-SF travel time LOS ANGELES â€” Imagine stepping into a carsized capsule in downtown Los Angeles and, 30 minutes later, emerging in San Francisco On Monday, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled a transportation concept that he said could whisk passengers the nearly 400 miles from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes â€” half the time it takes an airplane. If itâ€™s ever built. His â€œHyperloopâ€? system for travel between major cities would use a large tube. Inside, capsules would float on air, traveling at over 700 mph. The air would be sucked by

Obama orders new review group created EDGARTOWN, Mass. â€” President Barack Obama is directing his national intelligence director to form a panel of outside experts to review government intelligence and communications technologies. Itâ€™s one of the reforms Obama promised last week to help instill public confidence in U.S. surveillance programs exposed by National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. In a memorandum Obama signed Monday and released by the White House, he asks intelligence director James Clapper to empanel outside experts to review U.S. surveillance technologies, particularly how the government can maintain the public trust and how such surveillance affects foreign policy at a time when more and more information is becoming public. Obama requested an interim report within 60 days, and a final report and recommendations by mid-December.

DA wonâ€™t pursue felony against worker

Sentencing set for man in gun case

STARKVILLE â€” The Oktibbeha County district attorneyâ€™s office wonâ€™t pursue felony charges against a Starkville daycare worker who admitted to giving two children a powerful muscle relaxer that sent them to the emergency room. Assistant district attorney Lindsay Clemons tells The Commercial Dispatch that 52-year-old Diana Covin wonâ€™t be prosecuted for a felony because evidence from medical records fails to prove serious bodily injury. Covin was arrested by Starkville police June 6, 2012, less than a month after two children â€” both under a year old â€” were hospitalized the same day. Police say both children had been under Covinâ€™s supervision at First Baptist Church in Starkville. Authorities say she admitted giving the children Tizanidine, a prescription drug. â€œThe problem is with the way the statute was drafted,â€? Clemons said. â€œYou have to have the injury, not just the potential of injury.â€? Clemons said the law was poorly written and noted that on July 1 this year, the statute was changed with the passage of House Bill 1259. â€œThey did a total overhaul. Now you donâ€™t have to have serious bodily injury, just the potential,â€? Clemons said. â€œIn this case, the poisoning would be enough.â€? The change wonâ€™t apply to Covin. She cannot be tried under the new statute, Clemons said.

ABERDEEN â€” A man charged with being a convicted felon and possessing a gun is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 21 in federal court in Aberdeen. Antonio Jarmaine Love was indicted in June 2012 and charged with having a 9 mm pistol in October 2007 in Quitman County. He pleaded guilty in January. Â

Suspect asks judge to toss evidence COLUMBUS â€” A Columbus man has asked a federal judge to throw out evidence gathered during a search of a home. WTVA reports that 33-year-old Cedric Calmes was booked on drug charges in March 2011. He was one of three people arrested by the Columbus Lowndes Metro Narcotics Unit and Columbus police. Authorities served a search warrant on a home on Dan Buddy Road and say they seized 7 ounces of cocaine, 1.7

pounds of marijuana, a .45-caliber handgun and more than $9,000. In documents made public Monday, Calmes is asking the judge to throw out the evidence, claiming the information used to prove the need for a warrant was not sufficient and was based on unreliable information provided by an informant.

Judge resets trial for ex-Vicksburg mayor JACKSON â€” A federal judge has rescheduled the bribery trial of former Vicksburg Mayor Paul Winfield to Sept. 23. It had been set for Sept. 30. Winfield is charged in U.S. District Court in Jackson with seeking $10,000 in cash in exchange for a city contract. He has pleaded not guilty. The trial has been rescheduled several times. It was to begin earlier this month, but attorney Terris Harris asked for a delay, saying negotiations were ongoing with prosecutors to resolve the case without a trial.

Nation Briefs Immigration debate renews fence talk LOS EBANOS, Texas — If Congress agrees on a comprehensive immigration reform bill, it will probably include a requirement to erect fencing that would wrap more of the nation’s nearly 2,000-mile Southwest border in tall steel columns. But the mandate would essentially double down on a strategy that the Customs and Border Protection agency isn’t even sure works. And the prospect of the government seizing more land offends many property owners in the southernmost tip of Texas.

Ex-MLB player Curtis on trial in assault case HASTINGS, Mich. — A trial is underway in West Michigan for ex-major league outfielder Chad Curtis, who is charged with inappropriately touching teen girls.

The 44-year-old Curtis is accused of multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct. Prosecutors in Barry County say he touched girls between the ages of 13 and 16 last year when he was a volunteer weight room strength trainer at an area high school.

Yankee condemns defaced statue New York Yankees closing pitcher Mariano Rivera has condemned the defacing of a statue of Jackie Robinson outside a minor league baseball stadium in Brooklyn.

Sheriff: Suspect exchanged gunfire Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — A close family friend suspected of abducting a 16-year old girl after killing her mother and younger brother fired at least one shot at FBI rescuers before agents killed him deep in the Idaho wilderness, authorities said Monday. Hannah Anderson didn’t know her mother and brother were dead until she was rescued, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said Monday. “It was clear from the information that we received that she was under extreme duress,” Gore told KSWB-TV, the Fox affiliate in San Diego. “She was taken out of the county, out of the state, clearly against her will.” James Lee DiMaggio, 40, fired at least one shot from “a shoulder weapon” Saturday during the rescue, Gore said. “The first rule is to try to rescue the hostage here and hope-

“They just didn’t fit. He might have been an outdoorsman in California, but he was not an outdoorsman in Idaho. ... Red flags kind of went up.” Mark John Rider who spotted abductor fully take the subject alive. That did not happen in this case.” Hannah’s father, Brett Anderson, reunited with his daughter Sunday at an undisclosed hospital in Boise, where she was flown hours after her rescue from a camp near an alpine lake. Hannah also rejoined her gray cat, which she had with her in the wilderness. Hannah’s father was scheduled to speak Monday at a news conference in San Diego with Gore and the head of the FBI’s San

Diego office. Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, declined to answer questions about the rescue or investigation. The massive search spanning much of the Western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico probably would have taken longer if not for a sharp-eyed retired sheriff and three other horseback riders in the rugged backcountry hadn’t seen the pair Wednesday. Mark John, who retired as a Gem County sheriff

in 1996, shared his suspicions with the Idaho State Police after encountering DiMaggio and the girl on the trail. That enabled investigators to focus efforts on a specific portion of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, a 3,600-square-mile roadless preserve in the heart of Idaho. “They just didn’t fit,” said John, 71. “He might have been an outdoorsman in California, but he was not an outdoorsman in Idaho. ... Red flags kind of went up.” Initially, it was the lack of openness on the trail and a reluctance to engage in the polite exchange of banter like so many other recreationists John has encountered during horseback excursions. The riders were puzzled why Anderson and DiMaggio were hiking in the opposite direction of their stated destination, the Salmon River.

Police ID victims in slayings, abduction Associated Press

JOHNSTON, R.I. — Police on Monday charged a man with killing his girlfriend and her adult daughter and then kidnapping her young son, touching off a search that ended when the 2-yearold was found wandering alone outside. Daniel Rodriguez broke into the home of Evelyn Burgos, 40, on Sunday before fatally shooting her and her 25-year-old daughter, Vanessa Perez, and abducting Isaiah Perez, Johnston Police Chief Richard S. Tamburini said. Isaiah Perez was found unharmed Sunday night after a police officer spotted him at a public housing complex in Providence, about 10 miles from the town where his mother and sister were

killed. He was taken to the hospital and was temporarily placed in the care of state child welfare officials. Rodriguez, who is either 27 or 28, was arraigned Monday on two counts of murder as well as on burglary, kidnapping and gun charges. He was arrested in Providence on Sunday and is being held without bail; police did not give an address for him. Rodriguez had no comment as he was led out of the Johnston Police Department to be taken to the state prison. Authorities said Rodriguez is Burgos’ boyfriend but not the boy’s father. Police initially said another man, Malcolm Crowell, 22, had abducted Isaiah Perez. They included a picture of Crowell in

a nationwide Amber Alert that was issued soon after the boy’s abduction. Crowell was arrested on Sunday in Fall River, Mass., but released on Monday after police determined he had no involvement in the kidnapping or killings. Crowell was Vanessa Perez’s boyfriend and attempted to help authorities find Isaiah Perez, Tamburini said. “He’s not involved at all,” Tamburini said of Crowell. Police were still trying to determine how Isaiah Perez ended up alone in Providence, Tamburini said. Police also did not offer a motive for the killings, saying the investigation was ongoing. Two other children were in the home at the

time of the shootings, Tamburini said. One is another son of Burgos and the other is Vanessa Perez’s daughter. Officials said the two children were in the custody of the Department of Children, Youth and Families on Monday but would be released into the care of family members. The victims’ bodies were discovered about 5:20 a.m. Sunday at a home in suburban Johnston, a town of 30,000 residents outside Providence. The house is in a quiet wooded neighborhood near a reservoir. Deputy Police Chief Daniel Parrillo said investigators believe the victims were killed between 4:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. Sunday. Tamburini said five shots were fired.

State Briefs Suspect arrested in theft from tips jar RIDGELAND — Ridgeland police say they have arrested a suspect in the theft of money from a restaurant tip jar. Officers tell The Clarion-Ledger they arrested William Kent Snare of Brandon. Investigators say surveillance cameras caught Snare taking money from the jar at Shucker’s Oyster Bar on July 27. Det. Adrian Ready says Snare was arrested on Friday. The jar contained an estimated $550-600. It was not immediately clear whether Snare has an attorney.

Scott County woman dies from wound MORTON — Scott County authorities are investigating a weekend fatal shooting. Coroner Joe Bradford identified the victim as 44-year-old Renae Marie Brown. Bradford tells WLBTTV that Brown was shot once in the chest with a 12-gauge shotgun during an argument at a home in Morton. She was pronounced dead at the scene about 9:30 p.m.

Saturday. WLBT says Brown reportedly shared the home with her boyfriend. His name and further details about the shooting have not been released. Sheriff Mike Lee was not immediately available for comment.

Workshop for veterans planned in Gulfport GULFPORT— A workshop for veterans, current military service members and their families will be held on Tuesday at the Isiah Fredericks Community Center. The Sun Herald reports the program is designed as a briefing on community services that are available to them. The session will be held from 4-6 p.m. The center is at 3312 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Gulfport. More details and advance registration are available by calling 228678-9100.

JSU using $800K of fees to rent motel JACKSON— Facing more demand than it has dormitory beds, Jackson State University will spend more than

$800,000 to rent a motel to house students for the coming school year. The College Board voted unanimously Monday to approve the plan to rent a downtown Jackson Travelodge from Bapu Hotels LLC. The money comes from student housing fees. Higher Education Commissioner Hank Bounds says Jackson State has 250 students awaiting housing. The crunch is exacerbated by renovations at campus dorm Alexander Hall, removing those beds from use. The university negotiated with multiple hotels before settling on the Travelodge, more than 2 miles east of campus between the Mississippi State Fairgrounds and Interstate 55. The school will provide a shuttle service, security and residence staff at what it plans to call Tiger Plaza.

Trial set for 2014 in Vicksburg robbery VICKSBURG — A Vicksburg man accused of disguising himself and robbing an accounting firm employee at gunpoint will stand trial in March 2014.

The Vicksburg Post reported 22-year-old that DeShaun Grissom was indicted by a Warren County grand jury on charges of armed robbery, kidnapping and larceny of a motor vehicle. He entered a not-guilty plea last week before Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick. Patrick set trial for March 3. Court record show Grissom is accused of holding a gun to the head of an employee of Halford, Mosley and Co. on June 19 before taking $9,000 from the company safe. The employee told the robber to “take the stuff; I have a family,” according to a police report. Grissom is also accused of stealing a $200, a cellphone and a University of Mississippi class ring from the employee before stealing a 2005 GMC Yukon XL and fleeing. The employee was not injured, authorities said. The vehicle was found in a parking lot about half a mile from the company’s office. Officers said Grissom was arrested later in the day at the home of a relative.

Sinkhole swallows part of Florida resort villa The Associated Press

CLERMONT, Fla. — It sounded like a thunderstorm as windows broke and the ground shook, but vacations who were awakened from their rooms at a villa near Orlando soon realized that the building was starting to collapse — parts of it swallowed by a 100-foot sinkhole that also endangered two neighboring resort buildings. By early Monday, nearly a third of the structure at Summer Bay Resort had collapsed. All 105 guests staying in the villa were evacuated, as were those in the neighboring buildings. No injuries were reported. The villa, with 24 three-story units, was reported as a total loss, and inspectors remained on the scene Monday afternoon to determine whether the other two buildings near the sinkhole — a common occurrence in Florida — would be safe to re-enter. The first sign of trouble came about 10:30 Sunday night. Security guard

Richard Shanley had just started his shift, and he heard what sounded like shouting from a building. A guest flagged him down to report that a window had blown out. Shanley reported it to management, and another window popped. The resort’s staff decided to evacuate the villa. Shanley said the building seemed to sink by 10 to 20 inches and bannisters began to fall off the building as he ran up and down three floors trying to wake guests. One couple with a baby on the third floor couldn’t get their door open and had to break a window to get out, he said. “It’s a scary situation,” Shanley said, and guests credited him with saving lives by knocking on doors to wake them. Inside, they heard what sounded like thunder and then the storm of water, as if it were a storm. Evacuation took about 10 to 15 minutes, according to staff and witnesses. Amy Jedele heard

“It sounded like popcorn. The building was just snapping.” Maggie Morena Summer Bay Resort guest screams coming from one of adjacent buildings around 10:30 p.m., and several minutes later the sounds of sirens. She and her fiance, Darren Gade, went outside. “That’s when you could hear the pops and the metal, the concrete and the glass breaking,” she said. The first portions of the building to sink were the walkways and the elevator shaft, Gade said. “You could see the ground falling away from the building where the building started leaning,” Gade said. “People were in shock to see a structure of that size just sink into the ground slowly. ... You could see the stress fractures up the side of the structure getting wider.” Then, as part of the leaning building crumbled quickly into the

ground, dust shot up around the site. In one of the adjacent buildings, firefighters and police officers knocking on doors woke up Maggie Moreno of San Antonio. She couldn’t get the door to her unit open all the way. “It sounded like popcorn,” said Moreno, who was visiting with her husband, daughter and two grandchildren. “The building was just snapping.” Luis Perez also was staying at a nearby building. He said was in his room when the lights went off around 11:30 p.m. He said he was on his way to the front desk to report it when he saw firefighters and police outside. “I started walking toward where they were

rooms — has about 900 units spread over a large area about 10 miles west of Walt Disney World. It is set on a secluded 64acre lake. Problems with sinkholes are ongoing in Florida. They cause millions of dollars in damage in the state annually. On March 1, a sinkhole underneath a house in Seffner, about 60 miles southwest of the Summer Bay Resort, swallowed a man who was in his bed. His body was never recovered. But such fatalities and injuries are rare, and most sinkholes are small. They are caused by Florida’s geology — the state sits on limestone, a porous rock that easily dissolves in water, with a layer of clay on top. The clay is thicker in some locations making them even more prone to sinkholes. Other states sit atop limestone in a similar way, but Florida has additional factors like extreme weather, development, aquifer pumping and construction.

at, and you could see the building leaning, and you could see a big crack at the base of the building,” said Perez, 54, of New Jersey. Over the next five hours, sections of the building sank into the ground. Paul Caldwell, the development’s president, said the resort gave all affected guests other rooms. Some visitors — many of whom had to leave their wallets, purses and other belongings behind in the quick evacuation — were given cash advances by Summer Bay. There were no signs before Sunday that a sinkhole was developing, Caldwell said. He said the resort underwent geological testing when it was built about 15 years ago, showing the ground to be stable. Caldwell said he was waiting on further inspections to determine any damage to the second and third buildings.

BOSTON — James “Whitey” Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation’s most-wanted fugitives, was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction upon hearing the verdict, which brought to a close a case that not only transfixed the city with its grisly violence but exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship with its underworld snitches. Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts — among them, 19 murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and ‘80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s ruthless Irish mob. After 41⁄2 days of deliberations, the federal jury decided he took part in 11 of those murders, along with nearly all the other crimes on the list, including acts of extortion, money-laundering and drug dealing. He was also found guilty of 30 other offenses, including possession of machine guns. Bulger could get life in prison at sentencing

Nov. 13. But given his age, even a modest term could amount to a life sentence for the slightly stooped, white-bearded Bulger. As court broke up, Bulger turned to his relatives and gave them a thumbs-up. A woman in the gallery taunted him as he was led away, apparently imitating machinegun fire as she yelled: “Rat-a-tat-tat, Whitey!” Outside the courtroom, relatives of the victims hugged each other, the prosecutors and even defense attorneys. Patricia Donahue wept, saying it was a relief to see Bulger convicted in the murder of her husband, Michael Donahue, who authorities say was an innocent victim who died in a hail of gunfire while giving a ride to an FBI informant marked for death by Bulger. Thomas Donahue, who was 8 when his father was killed, said: “Thirty-one years of deceit, of coverup of my father’s murder. Finally we have somebody guilty of it. Thirtyone years — that’s a long time.” He said that when he heard the verdict, “I wanted to jump up. I was like, ‘Damn right.’” “Today is a day that many in this city thought would never come,” said U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. “This day of reckoning has been a long time in coming.” She added: “We

“Mr. Bulger knew as soon as he was arrested that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison or on a gurney and injected with chemicals that would kill him.” J.W. Carney Jr. Attorney for James “Whitey” Bulger hope that we stand here today to mark the end of an era that was very ugly in Boston’s history.” Bulger attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said Bulger intends to appeal because the judge didn’t let him argue that he had been granted immunity for his crimes by a now-dead federal prosecutor. But Carney said Bulger was pleased with the trial and its outcome, because “it was important to him that the government corruption be exposed, and important to him to see the deals the government was able to make with certain people.” “Mr. Bulger knew as soon as he was arrested that he was going to die behind the walls of a prison or on a gurney and injected with chemicals that would kill him,” Carney said. “This trial has never been about Jim Bulger being set free.” Bulger, the model for Jack Nicholson’s sinister crime boss in the 2006 Martin Scorsese movie “The Departed,” was

seen for years as a Robin Hood figure who bought Thanksgiving turkeys for fellow residents of working-class South Boston and kept hard drugs out of the neighborhood. But that image was shattered when authorities started digging up bodies. Prosecutors at the twomonth trial portrayed Bulger as a cold-blooded, hands-on boss who killed anyone he saw as a threat, along with innocent people who happened to get in the way. Then, according to testimony, he would go off and take a nap while his underlings cleaned up. Among other things, Bulger was accused of strangling two women with his bare hands, shooting two men in the head after chaining them to chairs and interrogating them for hours, and opening fire on two men as they left a South Boston restaurant. Bulger skipped town in 1994 after being tipped off — by a retired FBI agent, John Connolly, it

ultimately found he had a role in the strangling of one woman — Flemmi’s stepdaughter — but it could not reach a decision on the other woman, Flemmi’s girlfriend. The defense also spent a surprising amount of time disputing he was a “rat” — a label that seemed to set off the hotheaded Bulger more than anything else, causing him to erupt in obscenities in the courtroom. Bulger’s lawyers argued that Connolly, Bulger’s supposed handler inside the FBI, fabricated Bulger’s thick informant file to cover up his corrupt relationship with the gangster and advance his career. The prosecution’s witnesses also included drug dealers, bookmakers and legitimate businessmen who described terrifying encounters with Bulger in which he ordered them to pay up or take a beating or worse. Before the trial, Bulger’s lawyers said he would take the stand and detail graft inside the FBI. But after Judge Denise Casper disallowed his claim of immunity, Bulger did not testify. “As far as I’m concerned, I didn’t get a fair trial, and this is a sham, and do what youse want with me,” he complained to the judge as the trial wound down. “That’s it. That’s my final word.”

turned out — that he was about to be indicted. He spent 16 years on the run and was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list before he was finally captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, Calif., where he had been living in a rentcontrolled apartment near the beach with his longtime girlfriend, Catherine Greig. She was sentenced to eight years in prison for helping Bulger. At his trial, Bulger’s lawyers tried to turn the tables on the government, detailing the corruption and accusing prosecutors of offering unconscionably generous deals to three former Bulger loyalists to testify against him. The defense portrayed the three key witnesses — gangster Stephen The Rifleman” Flemmi, hit man John Martorano and Bulger protege Kevin Weeks — as pathological liars who pinned their own crimes on Bulger so they could get reduced sentences. But overall, the defense barely contested many of the charges. In fact, his lawyers conceded he ran a criminal enterprise that took in millions through drugs, gambling and loansharking. His lawyers did strongly deny he killed women, something Bulger evidently regarded as a violation of his underworld code of honor. The jury

Cashing in on cars Americans are keeping their cars and trucks longer than ever, and thatâ€™s great news for auto parts retailers. The average age of the 247 million vehicles on U.S. roads has hit a record 11.4 years, according to the latest data from Polk, a market research firm. Thatâ€™s nearly two years older than in 2007, before the start of the recession. Polk expects the average age to keep rising for at least the next five years, even though new car sales are approaching pre-recession levels. Thatâ€™s partly because the quality of vehicles is improving.

Drivers who hang on to their aging cars make more trips to auto parts stores like AutoZone and Oâ€™Reilly Auto Parts, where they can pick up replacement wipers or brake pads or new floor mats. Sales are up so far this year for several major chains. Even so, the industry is volatile. Companies often grow by acquiring stores, which is costly, and sales fluctuate with the weather and the economy. Advance Auto Parts CEO Darren Jackson says that although older vehicles and stable gas prices are helping sales, at the moment some customers are continuing to defer maintenance expenses because of high unemployment and higher Social Security taxes.

Excluding the volatile category of spending on autos, gasoline and building supplies, core retail sales rose just 0.15 percent, the weakest gain since January. New data due out today from the Commerce Department will reveal whether the soft retail sales growth trend continued last month.
