Mystery solved
BY JEBB JOHNSTON The Alcorn County Tax Assessor’s Office is opening on Saturday to help people avoid missing a tax credit. People who have bought a home or had certain status changes in the past year should visit the office to file an application for homestead exemption. With the April 1 deadline falling on Saturday, the office is opening from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the last chance to file. Tax Assessor Kenneth Brawner wants to see all residents who are eligible get the break on property taxes. “The people who miss it usually are the first-time homebuyers,” said Brawner. “It’s not something that is done at closing when a home is sold. They have to come to the office and apply for it.” People who move in from other states sometimes are not aware of the credit. Based on assessed value, the homestead exemption gives a credit of up to $300. Residents 65 and older can get exemption on the first $75,000 of value. People who have divorced or lost a spouse in the past year need to re-file. Brawner said last year’s filing season had around 650 new applications, and this

Effie May Hooten, wife of W.W. Hooten, was the owner of the glasses and the 1939 appointment card found by Peggy Drewry Smith. She had wondered about the owner of the glasses since she noticed the date for the next appointment - Sept. 2, 1939.
Story inspires former area resident BY L.A. STORY A Corinth woman discovered a mystery through a piece of “carport junk” she found in 1989, but a former Crossroads area resident stepped up to help solve it. James Gray, a Tishomingo County native now retired in
Nashville, Tenn., still keeps up with his hometown area. He read the story where Peggy Drewry Smith of Corinth had found a sort of micro time capsule in an old eyeglass case. Smith purchased the eyeglass case for 50 cents at a carport sale in 1989. Smith said she later tossed the case into a drawer
and it lay there forgotten until 2017, when she decided to some cleaning. She rediscovered the case in the process of clearing out the drawer and opened it. Inside was a pair of round, black-rimmed glasses. The glasses shared the case

“The people who miss it usually are the first-time homebuyers. It’s not something that is done at closing when a home is sold. They have to come to the office and apply for it.” Kenneth Brawner Alcorn County Tax Assessor year is running around 700. Items needed to file for exemption include Social Security number (both parties, if a married couple), Alcorn County license plate numbers and the purchase price of the property. Those filing after becoming 100 percent disabled need to show proof of Social Security disability entitlement with the beginning date of disability or a disabled veteran’s claim number. The state provides a reimbursement to counties for the ad valorem tax credit, which came about as a way to encourage home ownership.

Across the Region Amory Man faces domestic disturbance charges AMORY — Amory authorities have arrested 21-year-old Andrew Watson of Plantersville for an incident that happened on March 17. According to officials, officers responded to a home on 111th Street in Amory in reference to a domestic disturbance. Watson was arrested for aggravated domestic violence as well as old fines. His bond was set at $20,000. He is currently being housed at the Amory jail.
Byhalia McCormick & Co. opening state distribution center BYHALIA — McCormick & Co. will open a distribution center in north Mississippi, investing $6
million in equipment and hiring 48 workers. The Maryland-based manufacturer of spices, herbs and flavorings will open by midyear in a 615,000-square-foot building in Marshall County’s Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park. Mississippi Development Authority spokeswoman Tammy Craft says McCormick will lease the building from a developer for 10 years. McCormick Vice President Scott Simmons says the warehouse will allow the company to improve customer service and create space for growth. MDA is providing $346,000 to pay for sewer improvements, with Marshall County matching 10 percent of that amount. The county is also granting property tax breaks for building and equipment worth $9.2 million over 10 years. Craft says the company isn’t disclosing how much workers will make.

with a small appointment card. It was tucked beneath the eyewear. The card was colored with age and dotted, possibly from the worn metal inside the case. The patient’s name on the card was Mrs. W., (there was a second letter which looked almost like another “Wâ€?), Hooten of Tishomingo. Mrs. Hooten’s next appointment was scheduled for Sept. 2, 1939. Her appointment appeared to be with a Dr. Klein’s Optical Department at Bry’s in Memphis, Tenn. There is a phone number, but with an old exchange. Gray read the story and decided to do a bit of digging. He said the tools he used were the U.S. Census for 1940 and Find A Grave. “Both are helpful from time to time and I’ve always enjoyed mysteries,â€? said Gray. What Gray discovered was the Hootens were the only ones in Tishomingo County in 1940. He noticed in the census data, it seemed the couple came to Tishomingo County from Memphis, Tenn. They are now buried in Memphis, Tenn., which appeared to be their original home. “Family history has been an on and o hobby for me since the mid-1980s, so over the years I’ve done a bit of research. It generally pays to look at the
original census enumeration if possible as mistakes were sometimes made in its transcription to an index. Old arcane abbreviations and simple cursive writing throw lots of folks these days,â€? said Gray. Thus, per the census data, the owner of the glasses was very likely EďŹƒe May Hooten, wife of W.W. Hooten. She was born May 14, 1885, and died June 28, 1973. She is buried at Forest Hill Cemetery Midtown in Memphis, Tenn. Gray was also able to locate information on Bry’s, which was a Memphis department store. He said he believed it was possible the store had an optical department such as Walmart or Sears stores do today. According to information gained from Vance Laurderdale’s Jan. 1, 2008, answer to a question about Bry’s (which is pronounced like “breezeâ€?), he explained the store was a Memphis landmark for more than 50 years. It opened in 1908, relocated to a larger building in 1925 and eventually closed in 1964. When asked about her reaction to having her little mystery solved, Smith said, “This is just great. Now, I know. I can’t wait to tell my friends about it.â€? For a while it seemed the eyeglass case and its contents were just items lost in time, along with their owner. Smith’s curiosity is settled with having found the name and the fate of the owner.

Today in History
Daily Corinthian • 3A
Across the Region Tishomingo Co.
Today is Wednesday, March 29, the 88th day of 2017. There are 277 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On March 29, 1867, Britain’s Parliament passed, and Queen Victoria signed, the British North America Act creating the Dominion of Canada, which came into being the following July.
On this date: In 1638, Swedish colonists settled in presentday Delaware. In 1790, the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, was born in Charles City County, Virginia. In 1792, Sweden’s King Gustav III died, nearly two weeks after he had been shot and mortally wounded by an assassin during a masquerade party. In 1912, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, his doomed expedition stranded in an Antarctic blizzard after failing to be the first to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: “For Gods sake look after our people.” In 1936, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler claimed overwhelming victory in a plebiscite on his policies. In 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began. In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted in New York of conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union. (They were executed in June 1953.) The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I” opened on Broadway. In 1962, Jack Paar hosted NBC’s “Tonight” show for the final time. (Johnny Carson debuted as host the following October.)
Area tops most cost efficient counties list TISHOMINGO COUNTY — Tishomingo County is one of the most cost efficient counties in the country, according to a new ranking list recently released by national financial consulting firm SmartAsset. Tishomingo County rates second in the state and third nationally for giving taxpayers the most “bang for their buck.” Tippah County is rated first on the state list.

Catfish Cookoff joins Blues Hog BBQ Fest PICKWICK, Tenn. — Hardin County boasts being the Catfish Capitol of the World and likewise is proud to host the 76th annual Catfish Derby this summer. But hold on to your rods and reels as everyone is invited to the Catfish Cookoff, a nationally recognized catfish cooking competition, scheduled for Friday, March 31 at Green Acres RV Resort near Pickwick Lake. But wait. There’s more. The Catfish Cookoff will be a prelude to the Blues Hog BBQ and Music Fest weekend of fun.

Animal shelter puts new business plan into place (This first appeared in the Independent Appeal. It is reprinted with permission.) SELMER, Tenn. — The McNairy County Animal Shelter Friends/Humane Society is ready to put its plan into action. Group president Linda Banks hopes to meet with the budget committee of the McNairy County Commission next month to go over its business plan. “We have one in line,” said Banks of the group’s plan. “Our group has already started looking into grants to cover the spay and neuter of animals.” McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks said the next step for the group is to supply its plan to the budget committee. “We want to work with them,” said Brooks. “There is a problem in the county and it has been for many years when it comes to what to do with stray animals.” The county is more than willing to lease the group land a low price, according to Brooks. “There is no opposition to providing them land,” he said. “The budget committee just wants to see a sustained plan.” Banks said she knows a fullscale shelter will be expensive. “We have been doing this too long to know you can’t just put up a shelter,” she said. “There are a lot of things which go in
to getting a shelter ... we have to get out there and get donations together.”
Ashland Golf ball sized hail causes damage to cars, buildings ASHLAND — It was raining and pouring ice on Monday, leaving damage throughout Ashland. According to the Southern Advocate, for more than 15 minutes residents endured hail the size of golf balls or bigger. Car damages were the most reported incidents of the day. Ashland citizens’ vehicles suffered from large dents, broken headlights and broken front and rear windshields. Ashland Town Hall also suffered damage from the storm. The skylights inside of the building were knocked down causing the inside to be filled with glass and hail. There were no reports of damage to other buildings or reports of injuries.
Aberdeen Plane goes missing, crashes, killing two ABERDEEN — Monroe County officials say a plane reported as missing Tuesday morning crashed south of the airport, reported WTVA. Monroe EMA Director Bunky Goza says the plane left from the Monroe County Airport east of Aberdeen around 6:15 a.m. Sheriff Cecil Cantrell says the wreckage was found three miles south of the airport. Authorities cordoned off a perimeter around the crash site. He said two people died in the crash. The plane left Aberdeen in route to Madison.
Okolona School district removed from consolidation bill OKOLONA — The Okolona Separate Municipal School District is no longer part of a bill to consolidate administrations in
the Chickasaw County schools, reported WTVA. The revised version of the bill was finalized by a a committee of House and Senate members Monday night. The bill has seen various forms and changes during the legislative session as both houses originally looked at bills to consolidate the administration in the school districts. The Senate version only included the Houston and Chickasaw County districts, but the house added Okolona during discussions after receiving the bill. The original House version died in committee in January. Under the compromise legislation, an interim school board will be elected in 2020 with three members from the Houston School District and two members from the Chickasaw County School District. They will serve three year terms of office and a newly elected board will be put in place in November of 2023. The superintendent of the Houston School District will serve as administrator to transition the districts during the 2020-2021 school years. A new superintendent will be appointed in 2021. The bill will now go back to both the Senate and the House for more consideration.
Amory Police respond to call, arrest unwanted guest AMORY — A call about an unwanted guest at a home in Amory ends with the arrest of a Houston man, according to WTVA. Amory police say on March 21, they responded to a house on 8th Avenue in reference to an unwanted person at the home. On the scene, officers made contact with 29-year old Christopher Walker Griffin of Houston. According to authorities, Griffin was in possession of a controlled substance. His bond is set at $25,000 and is being held at the Monroe County Detention Center.

Corinth, Miss.
Legislators have a busy week ‘Bubba’ Carpenter 1st District Representative
At this point in the session at the end of last week, a majority of bills have either been sent to the governor to be signed into law or are being discussed in conference. Conference on a bill occurs when further discussion is needed by both sides to reach the best solution. A conference consists of three representatives and three senators who work together to finalize
a bill. Once a bill is out of conference, it must go to both the House and Senate for a vote before being sent to the governor. Along with the conferences that were held, the House did meet as a whole to discuss and pass local and private bills, and honor special guests in the chamber. On Tuesday, Terry High School basketball star Nyah Tate was honored for her achievements on and off the court. The Florence High School football team was recognized for an outstanding season and the boys soccer team also made an appearance to be recognized for winning the MHSAA Class 4A State Championship. Madison Station Elementary School firstgrade teacher Allison Ruhl was honored with House Resolution 21 on Wednesday for being the only Mississippian to receive a 2017 Milken Educator Award. That same day, seven students from St. Andrew’s Episcopal School were honored with House Resolution 64 for obtaining a perfect score of 36 on the ACT college admissions test. Students from Davis Magnet International Baccalaureate Elementary School received House Concurrent Resolution 64 for being named best elementary school in Mississippi by SchoolDigger.com. Finally, House Concurrent Resolutions 57, 58 and 60 were presented to Mississippi’s Male Athlete of the Year (Brian Fleming), Female Athlete of the Year (Evelyn Watkins) and Youth Athlete of the Year (Megan Heggie), respectively. On Thursday, House Concurrent Resolution 71 was passed to designate Aug. 26 as Women’s Equality Day in Mississippi. The Raymond High School boys basketball team was presented with House Resolution 72 to commend and congratulate them on winning the MHSAA Class 4A State Championship. House Concurrent Resolution 104 was also presented to recognize the grand opening of the Mississippi Arts and Entertainment Experience. More Mississippians were honored Friday, including Dr. James Anderson, who was recently named a Healthcare Hero for his 50-plus years of health care service to low-income, uninsured minority populations. Similarly, Dr. Freda McKissic Bush was honored for her life of health care service to Mississippians. This year’s Miss Black Mississippi USA Kristy D’Anna Johnson was also recognized for her title. With only one week left in the 2017 legislative session, lawmakers remained in Jackson to work throughout the weekend. The deadline for bills to come out of conference and pass the House and Senate occurs this week. Any bills that are passed will be sent to the governor to be signed into law. Among the special guests that were honored, other visitors to the Capitol this week included Mississippi Farm Bureau, NASA’s Stennis Space Center, Mission Mississippi and the Center for Education Innovation. Lester “Bubba” Carpenter represents House District 1 in the Mississippi House of Representatives, including Tishomingo and parts of Alcorn counties.
Prayer for today Lord God, help me to remember that I may not only be forgiven for my transgression, but with thy help I may be led away from the wrong. May I be content to follow where thou dost lead. Amen.
A verse to share In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now.” —Numbers 14:19
Finances of state hospitals on a roller coaster OXFORD — A healthier Mississippi with more medical services, specifically for the underserved, was a hallmark of Gov. Phil Bryant’s stump speech when he was running for office. It continued as a theme in Bryant’s first State of the State address, now more than five years ago: “We must be mindful of the increasing demand for health care, realizing that collaboration of all health care providers is the only way to achieve success. We must heal together, research together and find better ways to serve our citizens together,” he said. Bryant painted a picture of a vibrant medical corridor in the state capital, rivaling those in Houston and Memphis, and talked about medical zones across the rest of the state with tax incentives to add doctors in rural areas. It hasn’t happened. Instead, hospitals large and small are sitting in a bowl of financial spaghetti created by the whims of lawmakers and regulators in Jackson and Washington. Earlier this month, nearly 200 University of Mississippi Medical Center employees went to work and were sent back home — told their jobs had been eliminated. Dr. LouAnn Woodward, who
Charlie Mitchell Columnist
administers the $1.7 billion megacenter, said another 85 vacant positions will not be filled and 439 members of the teaching faculty will take
pay cuts. What got in the way of the governor’s vision? The blame is shared by him, by the Legislature, Congress, this president and the previous president for failing to figure out who would pay for what. Too, private insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry have not been idle bystanders. The medical pie in America is really big — about $21 billion per year in Mississippi alone — and everybody wants bigger and bigger bites. Driving the cuts at UMMC was a total $32.7 million revenue shortfall, $8.2 million of which came via cuts Bryant ordered for almost all state operations because the state’s income has not met projections. The rest traces to the state Division of Medicaid suddenly reducing the reimbursements it will pay hospitals for providing care when no one else pays.
Woodward put on her game face. She reminded the media that UMMC, the state’s only Level One trauma center and the exclusive location for many highly advanced medical services, has had its financial ups and downs. She indicated administrators are determined to stay focused on care, but conceded that this may be the first time a major whack has been sustained so late in the budget year. The shortfall must be covered between now and June 30. Other hospital administrators were not so chipper in their reaction to the Medicaid “reformulation.” The heads of some smaller, rural hospitals said they don’t know if they can stay open. Of all providers in the health care web, it is inpatient acute care hospitals that have the least control over their revenue. That doesn’t mean most haven’t been in on the ridiculous escalations in health care costs. There has been profiteering. But think about their situation: Patient loads can be unpredictable, and while hospitals can negotiate fees with private insurance carriers, they have no direct power to set or control Medicare or Medicaid rates. As stated, Medicaid payments are the root of the cur-
rent dilemma and the irony is that Medicaid is a gimme for this state’s economy. It’s like federal road aid. The state puts in a dollop of dollars and the federal treasury adds a full scoop. No state receives a more advantageous match in this program for the poor and disabled than Mississippi. The state’s health care industry looked upon Bryant with a jaundiced eye back when he stood solidly against an Obamacare incentive for states to expand Medicaid for working people who could not afford private policies. Bryant left billions on the table and lots of people who needed insurance without coverage. But Congress is diddling over whether to do exactly what Bryant feared. Some Trump reforms, if any are enacted, would shift even more of the cost of Medicaid to states. What the people want from government is what Candidate Bryant insisted was possible, beneficial to all. Neat, clean, clear. What people have received is, well, a complete and total mess. Makes one wonder: Is there a Level One trauma center for financial disasters? Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.
The Obama plot to sabotage Trump Devin Nunes just set the cat down among the pigeons. Two days after FBI Director James Comey assured us there was no truth to President Trump’s tweet about being wiretapped by Barack Obama, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Trump may have had more than just a small point. The U.S. intelligence community, says Nunes, during surveillance of legitimate targets, picked up the names of Trump transition officials during surveillance of targets, “unmasked” their identity, and spread their names around, virtually assuring they would be leaked. If true, this has the look and smell of a conspiracy to sabotage the Trump presidency, before it began. Comey readily confirmed there was no evidence to back up the Trump tweet. But when it came to electronic surveillance of Trump and his campaign, Comey, somehow, could not comment on that. Which raises the question: What is the real scandal here? Is it that Russians hacked

the DNC and John Podesta’s emails and handed them off to WikiLeaks? We have Patrick heard that Buchanan since June. Is it that Columnist Trump officials may have colluded with the Russians? But former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and ex-CIA Director Mike Morrell have both said they saw no evidence of this. This March, Sen. Chris Coons walked back his stunning declaration about transcripts showing a Russia-Trump collusion, confessing, “I have no hard evidence of collusion.” But if Clapper and Morrell saw no Russia-Trump collusion, what were they looking at during all those months to make them so conclude? Was it “FBI transcripts,” as Sen. Coons blurted out? If so, who intercepted and transcribed the conversations? If it was intel agencies engaged in surveillance, who authorized that? How
extensive was it? Against whom? Is it still going on? And if today, after eight months, the intel agencies cannot tell us whether or not any member of the Trump team colluded with the Russians, what does that say of their competence? The real scandal, which the media regard as a diversion from the primary target, Trump, is that a Deep State conspiracy to bring down his presidency seems to have been put in place by Obamaites, and perhaps approved by Obama himself. Consider. On Jan. 12, David Ignatius of the Washington Post wrote, “According to a senior U.S. government official, (Gen. Michael) Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak several times on Dec. 29, the day the Obama administration announced the expulsion of 35 Russian officials ... What did Flynn say?” Now, on Dec. 29, Flynn, national security adviserdesignate, was not only doing his job calling the ambassador, he was a private citizen. Why was he unmasked by U.S. intelligence?

Who is this “senior official” who dropped the dime on him? Flynn was taken down. Did Comey turn his FBI loose to ferret out the felon who had unmasked Flynn and done him in? If not, why not? We need to know who colluded with the Russians, if anyone did. But more critically, we need to unearth the deep state conspiracy to sabotage a presidency. So far, the Russia-connection investigation has proven a dry hole. But an investigation into who in the FBI, CIA or NSA is unmasking U.S. citizens and criminally leaking information to a Trump-hating press to destroy a president they are sworn to serve could prove to be a gusher. As for the reports of Lynch-White House involvement in this unfolding plot to damage and destroy Trump the real question is: What did Barack Obama know, and when did he know it? Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

Penn National to buy two Tunica casinos ROBINSONVILLE — Bally’s Casino Tunica and Resorts Casino Tunica are changing hands. Penn National Gaming of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, said Tuesday that it will pay $44 million to buy the two Mississippi gambling halls, which had been handed over to creditors after bankruptcy. The company already owns three Mississippi casinos, including Hollywood Casino Tunica. Penn National CEO Timothy Wilmott says it will centrally manage the three Tunica County casinos. He says Penn National will make “modest” improvements and
implement the company’s guest loyalty program.
Officials allot Bryant $50M for deficits JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers are giving Gov. Phil Bryant permission to withdraw another $50 million from state reserves to cover deficits in the budget year that ends June 30. The House and Senate Tuesday approved Senate Bill 2649 and sent it to Bryant, who is expected to sign it. Bryant has cut $171 million from the state budget since July. He has also withdrawn $50 million from the state rainy day fund — the limit he can take in a year without additional legislative authorization.

County for accessory after the fact. Smith declined the opportunity to make a statement. After hearing a request for leniency from Smith’s grandmother, the judge said he accepts the jury’s determination of the facts. “My only comment about the circumstances in this case is that I have never seen the kind of beating this little girl took,” said Gardner. “You are fortunate that you were not charged with the death of this child because of the injuries she had. You heard the testimony of the expert, the doctor who testified about her injuries, and the nurse who looked at her and was instrumental in getting her immediate
medical care. I cannot imagine anybody doing such a thing.” The alleged victim — the daughter of his former wife — was 3 years old at the time. In December 2015, a grand jury returned a twocount indictment accusing Smith of causing bodily harm to a child under the age of 5 and strangling or attempting to strangle Kelsey Moore of Booneville, who was his wife at the time. Moore testified last week that Smith committed violent acts against her on several occasions. She said she discovered injuries on the child after leaving her home alone with her husband. Smith was in the care of his grandmother until age 14. She told Gardner she knows in her heart that he is not guilty.

Journalist ‘Bill’ Minor dies at 94 BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — Wilson F. “Bill” Minor, a journalist who chronicled Mississippi through almost 70 years of change including its turbulent struggle over civil rights, died Tuesday at his home in Jackson. He was 94. Deborah Ashcraft of Lakewood Funeral Home in Jackson confirmed Minor’s death. Minor was a native of Hammond, Louisiana, and graduated from Tulane University in 1943. He served on a Navy destroyer, the USS Stephen Potter, in World War II before going to work for the Times-Picayune newspaper in New Orleans in 1946. His first assignment for the newspaper in Mississippi was in August 1947, on what Minor later recalled was a sweltering, gnat-filled day covering the funeral of arch-segregationist U.S. Sen. Theodore Bilbo. Minor covered the 1955 trial and acquittal of two white men accused of killing black teenager Emmett Till for whistling at a white woman; the 1962 riots after the court-ordered integration of the University of Mississippi; the 1963 assassination of Mississippi NAACP leader Medgar Evers; and the 1964 “Mis-
the first black member of the Mississippi House of Representatives since Reconstruction. After Clark took office in 1968, white lawmakers refused to sit with him at the two-person desks on the House floor, and House leaders refused to recognize him to speak. A frustrated Clark left the Capitol one rainy night, ready to quit — and Minor followed him to the parking lot and persuaded him to stay. “In essence, what he told me was that if I quit, I was doing what they wanted me to do,” Clark said in a 1997 interview. “I came back then.” Clark remained in the Legislature until 2004 and became the first black House speaker pro tempore. Minor worked for the Times-Picayune until the newspaper closed its Jackson bureau in 1976. He then started writing a weekly syndicated political column that was published in several Mississippi newspapers, riling conservatives. “His viewpoint is obviously liberal, which goes along with the media in general,” Republican Kirk Fordice, Mississippi’s first Republican governor since Reconstruction and a frequent target of Minor’s criticism, said in 2001. Minor continued writing until just a few months ago.

In May 2013, Minor attended a 50th anniversary commemoration of an event he had covered — a 1963 sit-in by a racially mixed group of Tougaloo College students at the Woolworth’s lunch counter in downtown Jackson. It happened about a month before Evers was killed, and Minor said Evers called reporters to tip them to the news. White students from nearby Central High School and many white adults, including an infamous local bootlegger, dumped mustard and ketchup on the heads of the Tougaloo students and then beat and kicked some of them. “There were a lot of just plain old segregationist thugs,” Minor said in 2013.

White House calls for cuts to fund border wall BY ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is proposing immediate budget cuts of $18 billion from programs like medical research, infrastructure and community grants so U.S. taxpayers, not Mexico, can cover the down payment on the border wall. The White House documents were submitted to Congress amid negotiations over a catchall spending bill that would avert a partial government shutdown at the end of next month. The package
would wrap up $1.1 trillion in unfinished spending bills and address the Trump administration’s request for an immediate $30 billion in additional Pentagon spending. The latest Trump proposal, disclosed Tuesday, would eliminate $1.2 billion in National Institutes of Health research grants, a favorite of both parties. The community development block grant program, also popular, would be halved, amounting to a cut of $1.5 billion, and Trump would strip $500 million from a popular grant program for transporta-
Star gymnasts testify about sexual abuse Associated Pres
WASHINGTON — Retired star gymnasts testified before Congress on Tuesday that they were sexually abused by a former USA Gymnastics doctor and recommended a bill that requires tougher sexabuse reporting for Olympic sports. Jamie Dantzscher, a 2000 Olympic bronze medalist, and threetime national champion rhythmic gymnast Jessica Howard recounted their experiences before the Senate Judiciary Committee. They told the committee of their abuses by Dr. Larry Nassar, who is in jail without bond in Michigan and also faces federal child pornography charges. “USA Gymnastics failed its most basic responsibility to protect the athletes under its care,” Dantzscher said
through tears. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is co-sponsoring a bill that requires organizations overseeing Olympic sports to immediately report sexabuse allegations to law enforcement or childwelfare authorities. The bill and proposed changes to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act come in the aftermath of the sex abuse scandal that led to the resignation of USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny. “They failed to take action against coaches, trainers and other adults who abused children,” Dantzscher said. “And they allowed Dr. Nassar to abuse young women and girls for more than 20 years.” Penny is a co-defendant in a civil lawsuit filed by Dantzscher, who has accused Nassar of sexual abuse.

tion projects. Like Trump’s 2018 proposed budget, which was panned by both Democrats and Republicans earlier this month, the proposals have little chance of being enacted. But they could create bad political optics for the struggling Trump White House, since the administration asked earlier for $3 billion to pay for the Trump’s controversial U.S.-Mexico border wall and other immigration enforcement plans. During the campaign, Trump repeatedly promised Mexico would pay for the wall, a claim the country has
disputed. “The administration is asking the American taxpayer to cover the cost of a wall — unneeded, ineffective, absurdly expensive — that Mexico was supposed to pay for, and he is cutting programs vital to the middle class to get that done,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “Build the wall or repair or build a bridge or tunnel or road in your community? What’s the choice?” The roster of cuts were sent to Capitol Hill as a set of options for GOP staff aides and lawmakers crafting a catchall
spending bill for the ongoing budget year, which ends Sept. 30. Those talks are intensifying, but Senate Republicans are considering backing away from a showdown with Democrats over whether to fund Trump’s request for immediate funding to build a wall along the U.S.Mexico border. Senate Democrats have threatened to filibuster any provision providing money for the wall. And many Republicans aren’t very enthusiastic about it and say the White House hasn’t given them many specifics to go on.
States pushing to protect birth control BY DAVID CRARY AND ALISON NOON Associated Press
CARSON CITY, Nev. — Even with the Republican failure to repeal Barack Obama’s health care law, Democratic lawmakers in some states are pressing ahead with efforts to protect birth control access, Planned Parenthood funding and abortion coverage in case they are jeopardized in the future. Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives withdrew a bill last week that would have repealed Obama’s Affordable Care Act. It would have halted federal funding for Planned Parenthood and curtailed the ability of many low-income women to obtain affordable birth control. Despite that setback for the GOP, several Republicans said Congress might revisit health care in the future, and anti-abortion leaders have stressed they will not abandon their campaign to defund Planned Parenthood. The group is the No. 1 abortion provider in the U.S. but also offers extensive

birth control and healthscreening services. In Nevada, state lawmakers and health advocates say they will continue to promote bills that would allow women to access 12-month supplies of birth control and require all health insurers to cover contraceptives at no extra charge, regardless of religious objections. Another Nevada proposal seeks to provide alternative funding to help organizations such as Planned Parenthood. Some government-run clinics that rely on federal grants and are on the brink of closure also would benefit. “Nevadans need these protections regardless of what’s happening in Congress,” said Elisa Cafferata, president of Nevada Advocates for Planned Parenthood Affiliates. “Family planning and preventative health care are still very much threatened.” Democratic state Sen. Julia Ratti said it was important to establish protections in state law “so that, regardless of what
future federal provisions come through, we know we’re doing the right thing in Nevada.” It’s unclear whether Gov. Brian Sandoval, a Republican, will sign or veto the bills if they reach his desk. Majority Democrats in the Maryland Legislature, with backing from some Republicans, passed a bill that would maintain family planning services provided by Planned Parenthood if the group ever lost federal funding. The state Senate approved the bill Tuesday on a 32-15 vote, after it previously cleared the House of Delegates. It now goes to Republican Gov. Larry Hogan. Asked whether the governor would sign or veto the bill, Hogan spokeswoman Amelia Chasse wrote in an email that the bill would be reviewed. “The governor has consistently funded health care organizations in each of the administration’s three budgets,” Chasse wrote. “This legislation will be part of the governor’s bill review process
that includes hundreds of bills.” It would direct $2 million from Maryland’s Medicaid budget and $700,000 from the state’s general fund to family planning services. The bill’s chief sponsor, state Delegate Shane Pendergrass, said Maryland would be unwise to assume that congressional Republicans were finished with efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. “Could this come back in six months? Maybe,” she said. “Do we want to make sure we’re prepared if something happens? You bet we do.” In Oregon, Democratic state Rep. Jeff Barker said deliberations would continue on a bill he is sponsoring that would require health insurers to cover a full range of services, drugs and products related to reproductive health, including contraceptives, with no co-pay or deductible. It also would prohibit any government interference in a woman’s choice to have an abortion.

Club operator says no security bypass CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati nightclub operator denies that some patrons were allowed to bypass security checks that included metaldetection wands before a gunbattle erupted, killing one man and injuring 16 other people. Julian “Jay” Rodgers rejected claims that people could pay to avoid the long line to get into the club without being checked. Police estimate 200 people were inside early Sunday when a dispute escalated into a gunfight in which more than 20 shots were fired by an unknown number of shooters in the popular club near the Ohio River east of downtown Cincinnati. “There have been untrue reports that certain patrons were allowed to enter the club without passing through security,” Rodgers, a veteran operator of Cincinnati-area entertainment venues, said in a statement late Monday. “This was not permitted.” Rodgers said two of four privately paid uniformed Cincinnati police officers there had a clear view of security procedures and helped “with the flow of the lines.”
Building sprinkler system didn’t work OAKLAND, Calif. — Inspectors discovered that a California building in a rundown neighborhood lacked fire extinguishers, smoke detectors in every apartment and a working sprinkler system just three days before a blaze erupted
and killed four lowincome residents. Officials uncovered multiple fire code violations during an inspection Friday and ordered the owner of the Oakland building to immediately fix the fire alarm and sprinkler systems, according to documents released by the city. Residents complained they didn’t hear alarms, feel sprinklers or see fire extinguishers early Monday as they fled flames tearing through the three-story building that housed some 80 recovering drug addicts and former homeless people. Michael Jones said he was awakened by screams of “fire,” bolted out of bed and instinctively pounded on the doors of his elderly neighbors and ushered them to safety. Jones, 43, then found Princess, the “house” pit bull, cowering in the backyard, and the two ran out the front door as glass shattered from the heat.
Thieves steal gold coin worth millions BERLIN — Berlin police say suspects used a wheelbarrow to make off with a 221-pound gold coin worth millions. Police said Tuesday at least two burglars broke into the Bode Museum early Monday morning using a ladder to climb up to a window from elevated railway tracks running alongside the building. The thieves grabbed the “Big Maple Leaf” coin, on loan to the museum’s coin collection, loaded it onto the wheelbarrow, then carted it out of the building and along the tracks across the Spree river

before descending into a park on a rope and fleeing in a getaway car. Police say the threecentimeter (1.2-inch) thick coin, with a diameter of 53 centimeters (20.9 inches) and worth some $4.5 million for the gold alone, was likely damaged in the theft.
Administration tries to kill testimony WASHINGTON — A lawyer for former deputy Attorney General Sally Yates wrote in letters last week that the Trump administration was trying to limit her testimony at congressional hearings focused on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. The hearing was later canceled by the House intelligence committee chairman. In the letters, attorney David O’Neil said he understood the Justice Department was invoking “further constraints” on testimony Yates could provide at a committee hearing that had been scheduled for Tuesday. He said the department’s position was that all actions she took as deputy attorney general were “client confidences” that could not be disclosed without written approval. “We believe that the Department’s position in this regard is overbroad, incorrect, and inconsistent with the Department’s historical approach to the congressional testimony of current and former senior officials,” O’Neil wrote in a March 23 letter to Justice Department official Samuel Ramer. The White House said today it did not interfere with Yates’ plans to testify.

Man charged with home, car shooting TUPELO — A Lee County man has been charged in connection with a shooting spree that included shooting into a teen’s bedroom. News outlets report 20-year-old Austin Spears was formally charged Monday with shooting into a motor vehicle on Saturday in Tupelo. Officials say Spears shot into the driver’s side of a vehicle with three occupants and into the window of a 15-yearold girl’s bedroom. Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson says deputies stopped Spears, along with two other men between the ages of 19 and 20, in a vehicle that matched a witness’ description. Authorities say they recovered several weapons from the car including a pellet rifle, bb gun and slingshot. Officials say while the other two men were released they are still facing possible charges.

Abused wife wants to escape, but is afraid to be on her own D E A R ABBY: I’ve been married to my second husband for 14 years. He’s a great proAbigail vider, but and Van Buren mentally emotionally abusive. Dear Abby I want to leave him, but I’m scared to live on my own. We both work, but he makes a lot of money -- which I do not -- so I guess you can say, financially I’m comfortable. But I’m miserable. I’m so unhappy I have tried to take my life. He wanted us to be swingers and I finally gave in, and now it’s all I hear about. I don’t want to do it, but he doesn’t care what I want. His kids are mean and disrespectful. We have no kids together (which I want but can’t have, and he won’t adopt). I feel like I’m wasting my life. I’m 43. I had to have emergency surgery and almost didn’t make it, and he resented me for it. Why can’t I leave him? Why am I so scared? I have no other family. -- WASTING AWAY IN THE SOUTH DEAR WASTING AWAY: You said it yourself: You are scared to live on your own. Some people are afraid of the
unknown, and you appear to be one of them. Because your husband has been coercing you into having sex with other men, I recommend you contact a support organization such as RAINN (www.rainn.org); its tollfree phone number is 800-656HOPE (4673). Someone there can guide you in making an escape plan. I also urge you to talk about this with an attorney, because you should not be penniless if you leave. What your husband has been doing is a form of spousal abuse, and between you and me, it shouldn’t take more than five seconds of selfevaluation to conclude that you would be better off without him. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I recently had a baby girl, our first. We both work full-time, but my husband is gone nights and weekends and I’m the primary parent at home with our daughter. Something has been bothering me since my daughter came along. My in-laws have never once told me I’m doing a good job as a mother. I’m critiqued every time they come over, whether it be that her hands are too cold, her room is too warm or her nails are too “sharp.” They compliment my husband repeatedly, and he’s the first to give all the credit to me, but I feel like they don’t think I’m doing a
good job and it makes me feel bad. Am I being too sensitive? -- CRITICIZED ALL THE TIME DEAR CRITICIZED: It is possible that in making these comments, your in-laws are simply trying to be helpful. Instead of regarding them as criticism, take them under consideration. However, if your hurt feelings persist, you -- or your husband -- should point out to his parents that in trying to be helpful, they have forgotten to be supportive, and mention some of the things you are doing right. DEAR READERS: Today, I’m proud to announce the launch of an exciting new scholarship program for aspiring young writers. The Dear Abby College Columnist Scholarship Program and Contest, administered by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists Education Foundation, will recognize and encourage the work of undergraduates writing bylined columns for their college newspapers. For more information about the contest, visit dearabby.com/scholarship/ interview, or submit an entry at dearabby.com/scholarship. -ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). As you interact with the people around you today, you’ll recognize that this is not your average crew. There will be enormous rewards for your gracious management of a wide swath of traits, talents, crotchets and flaws. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People will ask you the questions they wish you would ask them. Therefore, don’t waste your time trying to craft the right answer. Instead, turn it around and quickly get to the point of the discourse. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Can you keep your original shape under the crushes of conformity? Well, you’re not sure that you’d want to do so. Today, you will mostly be enriched by the influence of others. You’re too strong to be changed very much anyway. CANCER (June 22-July 22). An interesting story will become even more compelling today. The thrill you get from learning will override any initial fear or self-consciousness you may feel
in asking questions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being too involved with a person or project causes distortions of reality; intimate knowledge of the minutiae blinds you to the big picture. Paradoxically, you’ll have to step back in order to get closer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make the choice that feels right. You don’t know where it will lead, and right now, no one will tell you. Unlike a jealous sibling who might spoil a surprise meant for you, the universe wants to delight in your startling glee. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you are in love, no words, no touch, no eyes and no embrace can match those of your beloved. You’ll find yourself in a similar “no substitutions” situation today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not that you want your life to look like a magazine. But that might be the end result as you seek a sense of physical, visual and emotional harmony in your environment. Much will be achieved to this end.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). History is like a purse you can rummage through to find useful information and tools, such as lenses that will change the way you see your world. Just remember that the past is for remembering or discovering, not for living in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Information carries no special quality within itself. It has to be put to use to impact the world. If it is ignored, it may as well not exist. For this reason, today, you’ll be sure to act on what you know. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be better to connect your ideas than to protect them. The involvement of supporters and challengers will speed up and sharpen your process. Together you will leap forward, creating greatness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Going with the flow is a specialty of yours, but not today. There is a rebel inside you digging heels into the dirt. No one can move you from this place. You and you alone will decide when to go.

this season. Larson started on the pole and dominated early, winning the ďŹ rst 60-lap stage of the race. In the second stage, Martin Truex Jr. won with Larson second, but in the race’s ďŹ nal segment, Larson was able to track down Truex and compete for the top spot. When a caution ag ew with eight laps remaining, setting up what appeared to be a ďŹ ve-lap dash to the ďŹ nish, Johnston made the call to bring Larson onto pit road for four fresh tires. Truex, Denny Hamlin and Jamie McMurray stayed on the track and inherited the top three positions, but the new tires were the right call. Larson quickly regained the lead and held it through a two-lap overtime run to the checkered ag. Brad Keselowski ďŹ nished second ahead of Clint Bowyer — with his best ďŹ nish of the season — Truex and Joey Logano. Ganassi, who now has 13 career Cup victories in 17 years on the circuit, said in the winner’s interview that his latest good fortune is due to some relatively minor changes to his equipment and a talented driver in Larson. “It doesn’t take much to be good,â€? Ganassi said. “It doesn’t take much to be bad. Just made some small changes over the winter in our organization.â€? Then there’s Larson, who seems to be ďŹ guring out what he needs to do from the start of practice through the entire race weekend to win the big races. “I think he’s starting to mature in the series and learning what the cars will accept and what the cars won’t accept in terms of putting a weekend together, putting together practice, putting together qualifying, putting together race practice, a race, pit stop after pit stop after pit stop, keeping your head in the game,â€? Ganassi said. “I think he’s matured a lot in that manner.â€? Larson said life is good for him, now that he’s added a win to his already impressive stats this year. “Lots of fun to be Kyle Larson right now,â€? the Cup Series

That’s always a lot of fun. That’s always something I’ve hoped for, to get to a point of that in my NASCAR career. ... “It’s a lot of fun to have that conďŹ dence in the race team, go to the racetrack, ďŹ ght hard and run for wins.â€?
Drivers settling scores with few consequences ... so far

“I don’t think we need to go out of our way to penalize Austin [Dillon] to send a message to him or anyone else, but to do nothing kind of bothered me a little bit,� Earnhardt said, adding that NASCAR should have required Dillon to do an appearance at a track to promote an upcoming event. “None of the drivers like doing those. And we complain about it to NASCAR all the time having to go to these tracks out of market and do these appearances. Now, when we go do them, we do have fun, but drivers are spoiled and we don’t like to do that stuff, so I would sign him up for an out-of-market appearance to promote the next Phoenix race in the fall. ... It doesn’t really have to be anything that is harmful really to Austin.� Earnhardt said that when NASCAR does allow bad behavior, it sends the wrong message to drivers on short tracks across America. “You just want those [short-track] guys to know kind of what the etiquette is out there,� he said. “Whether they choose to follow it is another thing, but it’s up to NASCAR to show them what is expected. I think that the ball was kind of dropped on this particular situation.� Earnhardt went on to say that NASCAR doesn’t need fights and intentional fender mashing to attract an audience. “There is plenty going on out there,� he said. “I don’t think that would deter drama and any color in the sport.�

The recent message from NASCAR officials wasn’t quite as direct as the “Have at it, boys� pronouncement by former competition director Robin Pemberton during the 2010 Media Tour, but recent developments seem to indicate that officials aren’t planning to penalize drivers who’ve decided to settle disputes among themselves on the track — and off. There were no penalties issued to Kyle Busch for going to Joey Logano’s car after the race at Las Vegas and taking a swing at Logano after the two collided on the track. And there was a similar no-call against Austin Dillon, who used his car to block Cole Custer’s under caution during the Xfinity race at Phoenix after the two were involved in an incident. Just like the 2010 pronouncement from Pemberton, drivers are left wondering just where NASCAR has drawn the line as far as what it would take to draw a penalty. Back in 2010, the “Have at it, boys� era only lasted about a season before NASCAR again began using penalties to deter bad behavior. Danica Patrick said in a media session at Auto Club Speedway that she’s OK with drivers settling matters among themselves. “Give me my money back,� Danica Patrick said in response to a question about the lack of penalties recently issued. She was fined $50,000 and docked 25 points for wrecking David Gilliland at Martinsville in 2015. “I also got fined here last year for Kasey Kahne right-rearing me on the front straightaway at 215 miles an hour, and I gave him this sign, and I got fined for that, too. “I think NASCAR makes a really big mistake of fining for some stuff, especially something that happens in the car because it makes for good TV — just like fights and all that stuff. “We can handle it. I think it’s a mistake. I might be speaking too much, but I’ve been fined a few times, and I think that it makes for good TV, and I think that we handle it out on the track ourselves.� Patrick also said she’d like to know more about where the money drivers pay in fines ends up getting spent. NASCAR in the past has said the money goes to the NASCAR Foundation to be used for charity work. “I would actually rather know what it did,� she said. “I would actually love to see like the playground that got built for it, or homeless people that got food. I would like to see actually what the money does ...because it’s supposed to go to charity, right? So what does it really do? I would like to see that.� Dale Earnhardt Jr. said the no-penalty on Dillon, a Cup regular who retaliated against Custer, an Xfinity Series rookie, was troublesome.

NASCAR officials are planning to use a new Xfinity Series rules package that includes restrictor plates at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this July in an attempt to create more competitive racing at that track. Officials hope the changes will allow a trailing car to run down and pass the leader on Indy’s long straightaways and thereby make racing more exciting. The rules also include changes to the air ducts in the fronts of the cars and a taller rear spoiler.

IMS track president Douglas Boles said in a statement. Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he’s not sure how the racing will be affected by the new package, but that something needs to be done to improve NASCAR racing at IMS, where cars get strung out yards apart after a single lap under the green flag. “That race is really suffering as far as the show and how entertaining I think it is to watch,â€? he said. “I don’t really know what the answer is to make it more exciting, but I think this is a great opportunity to find out if this is the direction to go. “I am all for it.â€? Jimmie Johnson said he doesn’t think any rules package will help much at Indy, where the racing surface is relatively narrow and the turns have almost no banking. “You need multiple lanes to create passes, and that track just doesn’t provide that,â€? he said. “I assume [the changes are intended] to create more passing because it is tough to pass there.

Veteran racer killed at Florida’s Desoto Speedway Veteran Sprint Car racer Dave Steele was killed Saturday night in a Lap One crash at Desoto Speedway in Bradenton, Florida. Steele, 42, made brief runs in both NASCAR’s Xfinity Series and the IndyCar series before focusing exclusively on short tracks. At Desoto, he attempted to pass on the outside going into Turn One, tangled with another driver, spun around and struck the outside wall. Officials canceled the remainder of the racing program. Steele, the all-time win leader in Sprint Car races in the state of Florida, had recently recorded his 100th Florida victory. He was also the most recent winner in the Southern Sprint Car Shootout Series in which he was competing Saturday night.

After three straight weeks of ďŹ nishing second and having to answer questions about whether they had the ability to win races, Kyle Larson and the crew of his No. 42 Chevrolet showed at Auto Club Speedway that they can be winners. Larson once again had a fast car, and when the race was on the line in the closing laps, he and crew chief Chad Johnston made all the right calls. The 24-year-old Larson drove with the poise of a veteran to secure his second career victory in NASCAR’s elite Monster Energy Cup Series. It was also a big day for his car owner, Chip Ganassi, who has struggled in recent years to keep up with the sport’s powerhouse teams like Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing, neither of which has won a Cup race so far

STARKVILLE — A day after leading the Bulldogs to their first Final Four appearance, Victoria Vivians and Morgan William earned All-America honors from the Associated Press. Vivians was named to the third team, while her classmate William was awarded an honorable mention. The latest honors come after the Associated Press named Viv-
ians and William first- and second-team All-SEC, respectively. Vivians adds this honor to an extensive portfolio that includes Naismith Trophy semifinalist, one of the Top 15 finalists for the Wooden Award and the watch lists for the Wade and Ann Meyers Drysdale awards. She was also tabbed an AllAmerica regional finalist by the WBCA.
The Carthage, Miss., native averaged 16.3 ppg this season and scored a personal-best 289 points in SEC play (18.1 ppg). Vivians has averaged 15.5 ppg in the NCAA Tournament, earning Oklahoma City All-Region honors after scoring 13 points in a Sweet 16 win against Washington and 24 points in the Bulldogs’ win against Baylor in their first Elite Eight appearance.
Vivians has totaled 1,723 points for her career, ranking her fourth in MSU scoring history and third among active SEC players. Sunday’s 24-point showing was her career-best 11th 20-point outing of the season, 32nd of her career, and 33rd game of the year in double figures. William earned national Please see HONORS | 13A

A series of scrimmage contests are also on tap to put the abilities of each individual to the test in a competitive manner. Members from Northeast’s most recent squads, including the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North champion Tigers plus the division runnerup Lady Tigers, are slated to assist with these auditions. This tryout is only for prospective student-athletes who are graduating high school seniors and have not signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) with another institution of higher learning.
Northeast’s reputation for achieving greatness on the hardwood is unparalleled in the Magnolia State. The Lady Tigers boast one NJCAA national championship, three NJCAA Region 23 crowns and 10 MACJC state titles. The Tigers added to their legacy last season and now have eight regional crowns, six MACJC state championships, eight NJCAA National Tournament appearances and 15 NJCAA All-Americans.

The Associated Press
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies have been on an unprecedented Final Four run, making it there 10 straight years. This trip might have been the least expected of them. With a trio of All-Americans lost to graduation, Auriemma had questions about his inexperienced group of Huskies. They answered every single one of them. “They’ve owned the whole month of March, they weren’t just along for the ride,” Auriemma said. “It’s theirs and that’s a huge step. That’s a big
step, to go from riding in the backseat on a trip you’re going to, to all of a sudden, you’re in charge of driving the bus, you’re responsible for getting us there.” Next up for the Huskies, who have won 111 consecutive games, is Mississippi State on Friday night in Dallas. Stanford will face South Carolina in the other national semifinal, giving the Southeastern Conference two teams in the Final Four for the first time since 2008. That was the last season the conference won a championship. The Bulldogs are playing in their first Final Four after beat-

ing Baylor in the Oklahoma City Regional. The Huskies routed Mississippi State by 60 points last season in the Sweet 16, but Auriemma was impressed with what he saw in the Bulldogs win over Baylor. “That’s not the same Mississippi State team we played last year here,” the Hall of Fame coach said. “That’s a whole different team. A lot of the same players, but that’s a whole different team.” While the Bulldogs lack Final Four experience, they are led by a talented group of upperclassmen. “For our seniors, they believed in a vision when
it wasn’t real easy to believe. I’m really happy for them,” said Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer. “I know how hard they’ve worked. I know the blood, sweat and tears, the commitment they’ve put into this.” The Cardinal and coach Tara VanDerveer return to the national semifinals after a twoyear hiatus. They too were perennial participants, making it there in six of seven seasons from 2008-2014. “It’s an amazing feeling to be back, and we’re ready to play,” Stanford senior Karlie Samuelson said.

The flowers on the Supertunia Pretty Much Picasso are unique, with fuchsia petals and lime green edges that seem to blend into the foliage. Dr. Gary Bachman’s favorite combo basket is Supertunia Royal Velvet with Supertunia Honey. Royal Velvet is definitely a royal purple fit for a queen, and Supertunia Honey has flowers that are a blend of the orange, yellow and warm colors of the setting sun.

Glen to get new mayor KeyTronicEMS Manufacturing Manager Chris Witt, Engineering Manager Jeff Pierce and The Alliance President Clayton Stanley look over the electronic manufacturing process at the Corinth facility where 75 new jobs will be created.
Expansion to add jobs The expansion of a local manufacturer is creating new job opportunities for area residents. KeyTronicEMS is expanding its Corinth location by investing $500,000 and creating 75 full-time positions over the next three years. “We really appreciate the continued investment from KeyTronic in our community,� said Clayton Stanley, presi-
dent of The Alliance. “This investment, both financially and through the hiring of 75 people, is indicative of what a great place Alcorn County is to do business.� Headquartered in Spokane, Wa., KeyTronicEMS has more than 45 years of electronic manufacturing experience. The service provider makes printed circuit board assemblies, plastic molding, precision metal
stamping and fabrication. For the expansion, the company is incorporating a new surface-mount technology production line into its Corinth facility. “We are investing in the long-term future of our people here by adding millions of dollars of new production equipment to the plant,� said KeyPlease see JOBS | 2
The Town of Glen is set to have a new face in the mayor’s seat for the first time in over a decade. When the new term begins for municipal leaders in July Danny Beavers, a retired Mississippi Highway Patrol employee, will become mayor, following John Little. With one candidate qualified for mayor and five for the Board of Aldermen, the town is not required to have an election in June. The same is also true for the town of Kossuth. Beavers spent more than 20 years with MHP, finishing as a criminal investigator. He is currently working with prison and food ministries and finishing up biblical studies, with plans to graduate in June. “I have worked with the public o and on all my life,â€? said Beavers. “Glen has wound up being our hometown, and I really enjoy giving back to the community. We’ve been blessed to be around people that have been very generous to us, and the people of Glen are just really special people.â€? He and his wife bought prop-
Beavers erty in Glen about 10 years ago and built a home in the town a few years later. This will be Beavers’ first experience as an elected oďŹƒcial. “I realize we don’t have a great amount of funds, but I think a lot of things can be done to bring out the beauty that exists inside of Glen and be able to make it one of the favorite small towns in Mississippi,â€? he Please see MAYOR | 2
JCPenney to close store A longtime retailer will soon say goodbye to Corinth. JCPenney recently announced plans to close its Corinth location along with 137 other stores. The company recently made public the list of store closures, including Corinth’s Southgate Plaza location on Cass Street. Others in Mississippi include mall locations in Columbus, Greenville and Meridian. Most of the stores will begin the liquidation process on April 17, the company said, and most of the 5,000 aected jobs will end in June. The company is oering some employees relocation opportunities and is providing help such as resume writing and interview preparation. It is also oering
The company recently made public the list of store closures, including Corinth’s Southgate Plaza location on Cass Street. Others in Mississippi include mall locations in Columbus, Greenville and Meridian. a voluntary early retirement program for about 6,000 employees. The company said the store closings allow it to adjust to eectively compete against the growing threat of online retailers with stores focused on “personalized beauty offerings, a broad array of special sizes, aordable private brands and quality home goods and services.â€? The store closures rep-
resent less than 5 percent of total annual sales. In a news release the J.C. Penney Company said the closing stores “either require significant capital to achieve the company’s new brand standard or are minimally cash flow positive today relative to the company’s overall consolidated average.� The company, with more than 1,000 store locations, is also closing a supply chain facility.

Keep Corinth-Alcorn Beautiful could host another hazardous waste disposal event if a grant proposal is approved. The Board of Supervisors recently approved submission of the grant application seeking $25,000 from the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality. “The community has now started to recognize this as an annual event and save up their hazardous household items for this day for collection,” said Joanie Vaughn, representing KCAB. The event is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 23. The 2016 event had 344 vehicles visit the transfer station to turn in things like old electron-
ics, chemicals, aerosols, paint, batteries and tires. In other business before the Board of Supervisors this week: • With the renewal of the county’s liability insurance, it was noted that the deductible for law enforcement claims is decreasing from $90,000 to $75,000 as the result of lobbying from the sheriff and no new serious problems in the current administration. • Trustmark Bank will hold the county’s $500,000 negotiable note for road work with a winning bid of 1.87 percent. Other bids were Commerce Bank, 1.95 percent; BancorpSouth, 2.12 percent; and Farmers and Merchants Bank,
2.21 percent. • Supervisors approved use of the courthouse grounds May 1 through May 4 for the 75-hour Bible reading associated with the National Day of Prayer. • The board approved an agreement with ACE Power Association to evenly split the cost of the power line relocation for the Five Points intersection project. The total cost is $37,800.24. • Supervisors approved the purchase of a van at a cost of $15,675 from King Kars for use for inmate transport to replace a recently wrecked van. The county received an insurance settlement of $7,700 on the wrecked vehicle.
just police work to public safety. We can do some things to improve the community.” Other ideas are adding fire hydrants, starting a cleanup campaign on the highway, developing the town’s Civil War history, and finding a use for the closed Glendale school building. “The school issue, I think that’s going to be a pretty hot topic,” said Beavers. “There’s a chance there to be able to do something for not only our community but surrounding communities.” The current mayor, John Little, took office when his father, Bobby, died early in his third term. Little said the timing is right to move on. He feels he carried out some of his father’s main goals, including paying off the debt on the municipal building, which will happen within a year, and securing a Dollar General store for the town. Little’s business is requiring more of his time these days, and he also wants to to devote more time to his children.
“I enjoyed being the mayor, but I am ready to give it to somebody else,” he said. “I believe Danny will do a good job. He’s energetic and his heart is in it.” Little praised the aldermen for their efforts. “In 12 years, we’ve never had a ‘no’ vote,” he said. “They are all good people and have the town’s best interest at heart.” Members of the Glen Board of Aldermen will be David J. Derrick, David Scott Derrick, Frances J. Null, Ruth V. Sellers and Shirley Tutor. Retiring from the board is John Sellers, who has been an alderman since the town’s incorporation in 1993. David Scott Derrick is the newcomer to the board. In Kossuth, Mayor Donald R. Pace will advance to a fifth term. On the Board of Aldermen, incumbents Steve Jones, Jerry Strickland, Dusty Essary and James Allen will be joined by Paul Rollison, a former aldermen. Longtime Alderman Ken Rainey did not seek another term. The new term of office begins July 3.

Tourism board supports Slugburger Festival The Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau is supporting the slug. The tourism board recently approved $12,000 in funding requested by Sara Beth Green on behalf of Main Street Corinth for the 30th annual Slugburger Festival. During her presentation at the CACVB during the board’s monthly meeting, Main Street Corinth Board President Sara Beth Green pointed out the funds were specifically to cover costs for the Major League Eating (MLE) to return to Corinth for the fifth year. “Basically, this is to have the Major Leaguers come. This covers the prize money and everything that comes with
them,” said Green. CACVB Executive Director Christy Burns later confirmed having the Major Leaguers come to Corinth is a huge source of publicity all on its own. From a tourism perspective as an MLE competition forum, Corinth as a city has been mentioned on ESPN, and on the Today Show as one of the top five “wackiest” festivals and other media associated with the professional eaters, and they could not normally get this kind of publicity. Several board members agreed the amount of publicity provided was worth the amount requested. Also appearing before the CACVB board Friday morning, Sandy Williams provided some well-re-
searched input as suggestions for items that will improve tourism in the area. Among the items he mentioned, were historic marker restoration and maintenance or additions of interpretive signage; maps and tours and promotion and maintenance of hiking and biking trails. He also suggested the use of Corinth’s 163 years of railroading history be promoted and also provided ideas to work toward that goal. During his comments, Williams said, “No one is questioning the efforts of tourism, the National Park Service or community volunteers. The proof is in the pudding in that the tourism tax continues to increase. However, there
