Battle of the Hills — J.C. wins BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

J.C. Hill hopes the dark cloud of the contested ward 4 election four years ago can be erased. Opponent Steve Hill, the former ward 4 alderman who challenged the results four years ago, spoke with him before leaving Corinth City Hall shortly after the machine totals were announced in Tuesday’s Demo-

Dance, Hopkins move on to general election cratic primary election. J.C. Hill won the race in a vote of 326 to 266, sending him to a second term on the Board of Aldermen. “I intend to reach out to him to work together in the community,” said J.C. Hill, the former assistant director of parks and

recreation. “He made that commitment to me before he left, because we realize we can get so much more done if we work together. Since we both have been aldermen, I think we both can make a contribution to the community in a positive way.”

Steve Hill had a slight lead of 121 to 109 in the absentee ballot total. J.C. Hill will be unopposed on the Oct. 14 general election ballot. A hefty pile of absentee ballots became the focus of a few

hours’ work late into Tuesday night as candidates and observers awaited the results of a couple of tight races. With absentee ballots totaling 385, the count wrapped up about 10:30 p.m., and those ballots ultimately did not change any outcomes.

‘Big Chicken’ gets homecoming County fair hosts BY KIMBERLY SHELTON

As residents of the Gift community prepare for the Big Chicken’s homecoming, confusion has reigned over what to do and where to park. An itinerary has been provided for the “Big Chicken” Homecoming, which will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20. Interest in the “Big Chicken” story continues to grow after the Associated Press distributed the Daily Corinthian story about how the community and total strangers rallied together to bring the infamous rooster to his new home. When Sandy Childs begged the question,”How much do ya’ll want for that Big Chicken?”, she never dreamed it would result in the purchase and rejuvenation of an eightfoot, eight-inch, 300-pound rooster from Mid-South Ornamental Concrete. What started out as a tonguein-cheek Facebook joke among friends led to an undertaking that would stir up laughter and light-hearted musings across the nation. With only a few days left until the “Big Chicken” goes home to roost, Childs wished to make the public aware of the details surrounding its highly anticipated debut, which includes appearances by State Representative Nick Bain of Corinth and President of the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors Lowell Hinton.

14th tournament. Rain spoiled the start of the Aug. 30 event at Shiloh Ridge. “At 9 a.m. it was raining straight down,” said Whitehurst. “Then it quit and we were able to get the tourney in … it turned out to be a good day.” DARE officers David Derrick and Lane Fowler are glad it was. “This community is unbelievable when it comes to supporting DARE,” said Alcorn County DARE Officer Derrick. “The money will go a long way with educating young people.” DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to re-

sist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives. Both local DARE officers teach the 10-week program to fifth and sixth graders in area schools. “We try to stop it before it starts,” said Derrick of the substance abuse prevention program. “DARE teaches them how detrimental substance abuse is.” “I would like to think we are reaching parents also,” added Lane Fowler, Corinth Police Department DARE Officer. “So many kids go home and tell their parents what they learn.” Founded in Los Angeles around 1983, DARE is implemented in 75 percent of the nation’s school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world.

to have these type of things checked during the year,” said fair committee member Sandy Mitchell. “The health fair enables them to get everything checked at no cost to them.” Although the focus of the health fair is 0-5 year-olds, youngsters through the age of 18 are also being allowed to come through. “The committee feels like this goes right along with our mission of helping the youth in

the area,” said Mitchell. “We are proud to be partnering with Excel by 5 and Magnolia Regional Health Center.” Today’s fair activities include: ■ Arts & Quilt display, 5-10 p.m. ■ Canned goods display, 5-10 p.m. ■ Crescent City Carnival, 5-10 p.m. ■ Petting Zoo, 5-10 p.m. ■ Thomas the Train, 5-10 p.m. ■ Strength Team, 6:30-8 p.m. Admission is free.

The patriotic afghan was donated by Haley Simpson.

AUCTION CONTINUED FROM 1A

Simpson later donated it to the VFW Ladies Auxiliary where it has been on display for close to a year now. A tag on the flag reads, “Made Especially For You by Granny,” leading many to question its origins. “We will always wonder if it was given to a grandson or granddaughter who fought in Iraq or

Afghanistan,” said Edie Simpson, Auxiliary President of VFW Post 3962. “We may never know the answer, but we honor this solider for his or her service to our great nation.” The silent auction began on Sept. 6 and will continue until 10 p.m. on Saturday, November 15. Bids should be made in dollar increments only and placed on the Ladies

Auxiliary Bulletin Board. The winning bidder must be present to win. “I suggest that those interested in the afghan come out on Friday night, put in a silent bid and then join us for karaoke,” said Simpson. “You can bid as much as you want and it would be great to see everyone on Saturday Dance Night. You could see how the auction is go-

ing and then bid again if you’d like to.” In addition to the silent auction, upcoming events include: ■ Kid’s Day on Saturday, Sept. 27 ■ Yard Sale on Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4 ■ Halloween Dance on Saturday, Nov. 1 “Come out, bring your family and have fun with us,” added Simpson.

san G. Komen Foundation For the Cure. Raising awareness and funding research for the cure are two things Guyton remains very passionate. “It’s important to raise awareness because this isn’t a disease that affects older women or women of a certain race. Anyone can be affected by breast cancer,” she said. “It means a lot to me because it could very well be me battling this disease one day and I pray there are enough funds to go toward finding the cure.” The church plans to raise awareness by letting people know how and when to do self-examina-

tions, as well as what to look and feel for. After the walk, guest speakers will give testimony on their fight against breast cancer. “We salute all survivors and honor the memory of those who have succumbed to the diagnosis,” said Guyton. “I have known quite a few people who have suffered from this nasty disease and realize that no one is excluded.” Encouraging all to join them, Hopewell M.B. Church hopes to create an event that will be a success for many years to come. “Anyone can participate. We want as many

people to come out as possible,” said Guyton. “So, join us for our walk and let’s have a wonderful time as one body in Christ.” Those who are unable to attend or who do not wish to purchase a shirt can still donate to the cause. “The Women to Women Auxiliary at Hopewell M.B. Church is sponsoring the breast cancer walk. We all plan on participating in the walk and look forward to having a joyous time fellowshipping with one another,” Guyton said. “We are so excited and we feel that in keeping God first, the walk will be a success.”

WALK CONTINUED FROM 1A

The cost to join is $15 per person which includes a t-shirt and a complimentary registration packet. “Sept. 28 is the deadline to register. We strongly recommend that you preregister by then. You can do so from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the church’s life center on Saturday, Sept. 20 and from 12 to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 28,” said Sherika Guyton. “T-shirts sizes range from youth small to XL and adult small to 4XL.

In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was completed and signed by a majority of delegates attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. In 1862, more than 3,600 men were killed in the Civil War Battle of Antietam in Maryland. In 1908, Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge of the U.S. Army Signal Corps became the first person to die in the crash of a powered aircraft, the Wright Flyer, at Fort Myer, Va., just outside Washington, D.C. In 1937, the likeness of President Abraham Lincoln’s head was dedicated at Mount Rushmore. In 1944, during World War II, Allied paratroopers launched Operation Market Garden, landing behind German lines in the Netherlands. (After initial success, the Allies were beaten back by the Germans.) In 1954, the novel “Lord of the Flies” by William Golding was first published by Faber & Faber of London. In 1964, the James Bond movie “Goldfinger,” starring Sean Connery, premiered in London. The fantasy sitcom “Bewitched,” starring Elizabeth Montgomery, debuted on ABC-TV. In 1971, citing health reasons, Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, 85, retired. (Black, who was succeeded by Lewis F. Powell Jr., died eight days after making his announcement.) In 1978, after meeting at Camp David, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed a framework for a peace treaty.

Jonathan Marsh is in need of 100 concrete blocks. The Modern Woodmen financial representative isn’t building a house. He needs them for a show of strength. The Strength Team is returning to the area today. Team members Dr. Joel Caldwell and Zeb Bishop will be taking part in assemblies at local middle schools as well as sharing the word of God later during the REVOLVE event at the Alcorn County Fair. “It will be a truly motivational event,” said Marsh. “REVOLVE could be a life-changing event

for both adults and young people.” REVOLVE is a student-based ministry in Corinth. Its goal is to see the lost saved, the saved passionate about Christ and the world changed. The event is slated for 6:30-8 p.m. tonight inside the Crossroads Arena. Admission is free. “The message at school is totally different,” said Marsh of the West Corinth Baptist Church and REVOLVE Ministries provided event. “Wednesday night will be centered around the testimonies of the two team members.” Modern Woodmen is sponsor-

ing the event. On Wednesday, Caldwell and Bishop will visit middle schools at Corinth, Glendale and Kossuth. “I thought it was amazing when they came in August,” said Marsh. “Every teacher went on and on about how good the message was last time.” The team will cover the 6 P’s of their curriculum which include: 1. Prompt 2. Prepare for Testing 3. Polite 4. Positive Attitude 5. Participate 6. Produce “I was impressed with the de-

livery of their message,” added Marsh. According to the team website, over the last 11 years they have been able to get the attention of thousands of students through their amazing feats of strength. They believe if they can grab the student’s attention, they can then get a message to their hearts. Members of the team break such things as bricks and concrete blocks along with bend steel rods and rip apart multiple telephone books. “To see human beings with that kind of strength is unbelievable,” said Marsh.

CHICKEN CONTINUED FROM 1A

The parade At 11 a.m. walkers, horses, golf carts, ATVs and other vehicles will line up in a shaded area at the left of CR 753. Beginning at this area, vehicles will line up on the main road leaving room for one lane of traffic to flow. “Everyone is welcome to participate in the parade,” said Childs. “Remember this is all in good fun. So, give yourself whatever title you want and join in.” Parking Those wishing to park along the roadside should go past the chicken site so as not to block the parade

route. Parade goers are asked not to block private drives or park in private yards without permission. Volunteers will be present to assist in traffic direction. “We hope to park everyone,” said Childs. “So, leaving when you want will not be a problem.” Entertainment A few bands are slated to play and local politicians expected to attend. Concessions Kossuth High School band will have concessions. Things to remember ■ Bring a lawn chair. A

limited number of chairs will be available for the elderly. ■ Those who wish to be listed on the program should sign up with Sunny Phillips upon arrival. ■ A temporary list of donors is currently on

display, but a permanent marker will be erected soon. Those who contributed to the “Big Chicken” fund should make sure that their names are listed and spelled correctly. Necessary corrections should be made in the

book near the sign. “We are grateful to everyone who contributed to bring the ‘Big Chicken to the bottom,” said Childs as she reflected on the number of people who have supported her efforts.

Opinion

Mark Boehler, 4A • Wednesday, September 17, 2014 editor Corinth, Miss.

The forever war The strategy that President Obama laid out Wednesday night to “degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL,” is incoherent, inconsistent and, ultimately, non-credible. Pat A year ago, Obama and John Buchanan Kerry were straining at the leash to launch air strikes on Columnist Syrian President Bashar Assad for his alleged use of chemical weapons in “killing his own people.” But when Americans rose as one to demand that we stay out of Syria, Obama hastily erased his “red line” and announced a new policy of not getting involved in “somebody else’s civil war.” Now, after videos of the beheadings of two U.S. journalists have set the nation on fire, the president, reading the polls, has flipped again. Now Obama wants to lead the West and the Arab world straight into Syria’s civil war. Only this time we bomb ISIL, not Assad. Who will provide the legions Obama will deploy to crush ISIL in Syria? The Free Syrian Army, the same rebels who have been routed again and again and whose chances of ousting Assad were derided by Obama himself in August as a “fantasy”? The FSA, the president mocked, is a force of “former doctors, farmers, pharmacists and so forth.” Now Obama wants Congress to appropriate $500 million to train and arm those doctors and pharmacists and send them into battle against an army of jihadist terrorists who just bit off one-third of Iraq. Before Congress votes a dime, it should get some answers. Whom will this Free Syrian Army fight? ISIL alone? The al-Nusra Front? Hezbollah in Syria? Assad’s army? How many years will it take to train, equip and build the FSA into a force that can crush both Assad and ISIL? “Tell me how this thing ends,” said Gen. David Petraeus on the road to Baghdad in 2003. The president did not tell us how this new war ends. If ISIL is our mortal enemy and Syria its sanctuary, there are two armies capable of crushing it together -- the Syrian and Turkish armies. But Turkey, a NATO ally, was not even mentioned in Obama’s speech. Why? Because the Turks have been allowing jihadists to cross into Syria, as they have long sought the fall of Assad. Now, with the Islamic State holding hostage 49 Turkish diplomats and their families in Mosul, Ankara is even more reluctant to intervene. In Iraq, too, thousands of ground troops will be needed to dig the Islamic State out of the Sunni cities and towns. Where will these soldiers come from? A number of NATO allies have indicated a willingness to join the U.S. in air strikes on the Islamic State in Iraq. None has offered to send troops. Similar responses have come from the Arab League. But if this is truly a mortal threat, why the reluctance to send troops? Some of our Arab allies, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Gulf Arabs, have reportedly been providing aid to ISIL in Syria. Why would they aid these terrorists? Because ISIL looked like the best bet to bring down Assad, whom many Sunni loathe as an Arab and Alawite ally of Iran in the heart of the “Shia Crescent” of Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus and Hezbollah. For many Sunni Arabs, the greater fear is of Shia hegemony in the Gulf and a new Persian empire in the Middle East. Among all the nations involved here, the least threatened is the United States. Our intelligence agencies, Obama, says, have discovered no evidence of any planned or imminent attack from ISIL. As the threat is not primarily ours, the urgency to go to war is not ours. And upon the basis of what we heard Wednesday night, either this war has not been thought through by the president, or he is inhibited from telling us the whole truth about what victory will look like and what destroying the Islamic State will require in blood, treasure and years.

Prayer for today Almighty God, help me as I start this day to remember how easy it is to drive the peace from it. May I do my best to keep it, and defy any indolence or disposition, that may make me spoil it. May I lay me down at night in peace and sleep because of the contentment that has filled the hours. Amen.

A verse to share “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39

The halfhearted war on terror Only President Barack Obama would feel compelled to mention the success of the American auto industry in a speech rallying the nation for a long war of annihilation against a vile terror group. Through the years, even when he’s been his most stalwart-sounding in national-security speeches, you can’t shake the sense that he’d much rather be talking up tax credits for plug-in electric cars, or extolling Obamacare’s mandate for employer coverage of contraception. The last thing he wanted to do, nearly six years into his presidency, is have to give a prime-time address about his new war in Iraq. Yet he did it and sounded credible, indeed forceful and determined. He condemned the viciousness of ISIS. He put himself clearly on record for seeking its destruction. He boasted of his own lethality to our enemies. He extolled American leadership (and talked up the auto companies). The speech had everything a hawk against ISIS would want – except an unmistakable strategy to destroy ISIS. The president compared

the Iraq effort to the “counterterrorism” campaigns in Somalia and Yemen, Rich c o u n t r i e s Lowry where we target indiNational vidual terReview rorists from the air and occasionally with special forces amid chaos on the ground. If we want to kill some members of ISIS over a period of years while it remains a threat, this is an entirely appropriate model. The Somalia/Yemen approach is a way, to borrow the president’s formulation from just a week ago, to manage the ISIS threat rather than to destroy it. ISIS has occupied an enormous amount of territory in Iraq and Syria, including major population centers. That is why it declared a caliphate and why it has unprecedented resources. To defeat it, this territory must be taken back, and it is unlikely to happen exclusively from the air – especially in the cities. It will take ground forces. We hope to work with proxy

forces, but they are motley groups that will almost certainly need vetting and advising by special operators working closely with them on the ground. But the president ruled out American ground forces. The cynical interpretation is that he is hoping to do enough against ISIS to satisfy domestic political opinion and keep the terror group at bay until he can hand off an incomplete campaign to his successor, who will be left with the difficult choice of whether to truly defeat ISIS. Certainly, the president gives no sign of having absorbed the full magnitude of his policy failures in Iraq and Syria to this point. Former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen points out that President George W. Bush, in ordering the surge in Iraq, acknowledged his prior strategy had failed. This established that he had a new understanding of the challenge in the country and underlined his commitment to acting on it. Obama has made no similar acknowledgment, and probably never will. To be sure, we are a long way from January, when the president explained

away ISIS’s capture of Fallujah as practically the normal course of things in the Sunni heartland of Iraq. It is good that he says he wants to destroy ISIS, good that he has expressed a willingness to extend the bombing campaign to Syria, good that he helped ease the disastrous Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki from power, and good that he has put together a small coalition of the willing. Perhaps the execution of what he described in his speech will be very robust and he will find a way to get out of his prohibition on boots on the ground, if it becomes obvious that it is an obstacle to success. But he has a history of all but walking away from his military commitments. He ordered the surge in Afghanistan, then did all he could never to speak of it again, and now risks creating a new Iraq there with another complete pullout in a few years. No matter how tough he sounds, his heart is someplace else. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Mob rule economics While we talk about democracy and equal rights, we seem increasingly to let both private and government decisions be determined by mob rule. There is nothing democratic about mob rule. It means that some people’s votes are to be overruled by other people’s disruptions, harassments and threats. The latest examples are the mobs in the streets in cities across the country, demanding that employers pay a minimum wage of $15 an hour, or else that the government makes them do so by law. Some of the more gullible observers think the issue is whether what some people are making now is “a living wage.” This misconstrues the whole point of hiring someone to do work. Those who are being hired are paid for the value of the work they do. If their work is really worth more than what their employer is paying them, all they have to do is quit and go work for some other employer, who will pay them what their work is really worth. If they can’t find any other employer who will pay them more, then what makes them think their work is worth more?

As for a “living wage,” the employer is not hiring people in order to acquire dependents and become their meal ticket. He is hiring them for what they

produce. Are some people not able to produce much? Absolutely! I know because I was once one of those people. After leaving home as a teenager, I discovered that what I could earn would only enable me to rent a furnished room about 6 by 9 feet. It became painfully clear that there was no great demand for a high school dropout with no skills and no experience. My choices were to get angry at my employer or to acquire some skills and experience -- and try to pick up some more education, while I was at it. Even to a teenage dropout, that choice was a no-brainer. There was no one around to confuse the issue by telling me that I was somehow “entitled” to what other people had produced, whether

at the expense of the taxpayers or the employer. There was a minimum wage law, even back in those days. But it had been passed ten years earlier, and inflation had raised both prices and wages to the point where it was the same as if there were no minimum wage law. Thank heaven! The unemployment rate among black teenagers back then was a fraction of what it would become in later years, after “compassionate” politicians repeatedly raised the minimum wage rate to keep up with inflation. In 1948, the year I left home, the unemployment rate among black 16-yearolds and 17-year-olds was 9.4 percent, slightly lower than that for white kids the same ages, which was 10.2 percent. Whatever the good intentions behind minimum wage laws, what matters are the actual consequences. Many people have ideological, financial or political incentives to obfuscate the consequences. Labor unions are the biggest force behind attempts to raise the minimum wage. That may seem strange, since most union members

already earn more than the minimum wage. But the unions know what they are doing, even if too many gullible observers do not. Low-skill workers with correspondingly low wages compete in the labor market with higher skilled union members with correspondingly higher wages. Many kinds of work can be done by various mixtures of low-skilled workers and high-skilled workers. Minimum wage rates that are higher than what most low-skilled and inexperienced workers are worth simply price those workers out of the job markets, leaving more work for union members. All the unions have to do is camouflage what is happening by using rhetoric about “a living wage,” or “social justice” or whatever else will impress the gullible. Life was tough when all I could get were low-paying jobs. But it would have been a lot tougher if I couldn’t get any job at all. And a tough life made me go get some skills and knowledge.

Reid to ensure nuke dump stays dead WASHINGTON — Amid action in Congress to intensify the fight against Islamic State militants, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid found time Tuesday for an issue closer to home: ensuring that a nuclear waste dump in his home state of Nevada remains mothballed even after the government has spent $15 billion on it. Reid devoted floor time to confirming two nominees to the agency that oversees the nation’s nuclear reactors. That means a Democratic-appointed majority will weigh any further steps related to creating a national nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, located 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The confirmations come as Republicans have begun talking about trying to revive the Yucca Mountain project if they retake the Senate in November. The Obama administration, under pressure from Reid, abandoned the project early in the president’s first term, leaving tens of thousands of tons of spent fuel sitting at nuclear reactors around the country with nowhere to go.

Corinthian Colleges sued for lending WASHINGTON — Corinthian Colleges is being sued by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for what

it calls a “predatory lending scheme.” The CFPB is seeking more than $500 million for borrowers who used the for-profit education company’s private student loans. Corinthian misled students about their job prospects, in some cases paying employers to offer temporary jobs to graduates, the agency said Tuesday. Corinthian charged as much as $75,000 for a bachelor’s degree and pushed students into private loans with interest rates of roughly 15 percent, more than double the rate for a federal loan, the CFPB said. More than 60 percent of Corinthian students with those loans defaulted within three years.

Chicago, New York and Boston came to Washington to lobby Congress and the White House on efforts to combat prescription opioid abuse, which is blamed for 17,000 deaths per year — more than three times as many as either heroin or cocaine.

Abortion coverage in health law weighed WASHINGTON — A nonpartisan congressional agency is raising new questions about compliance with a key compromise on abortion that allowed the federal health care law to pass in 2010. The Government Accountability Office said in a report released late Monday that only 1 of 18 insurers it reviewed was separately itemizing a charge for coverage of elective abortions on enrollees’ bills. That detail is important because the original compromise that President Barack Obama sealed with anti-abortion Democrats stipulated that no federal funds would be used to pay for elective abortions. Instead, private health plans covering the procedure would collect a separate premium, which would be segregated from federal subsidies for other medical services. Although abortion is a legal medical procedure, longstanding federal laws prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to pay for it, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.

Big cities take aim at painkillers WASHINGTON — Some of the nation’s largest cities are ratcheting up their criticism of prescription painkillers, blaming the industry for a wave of addiction and overdoses that have ravaged their communities and busted local budgets. The heightened rhetoric comes as Chicago tries to recover millions in health care costs from opioid drugmakers, alleging that companies deliberately misled the public about the risks of their drugs. It’s a legal strategy that could be attractive to other cash-strapped cities, but one that experts say will face hurdles in court. On Tuesday, health commissioners from

Childers: Cochran wrong on pay issue JACKSON — Democratic former U.S. Rep. Travis Childers said Tuesday that if he’s elected to the Senate, he will support a bill requiring employers to pay women and men the same amount for doing the same jobs. “I have learned to listen to the women in my family, especially concerning family issues. I only have to look back as far as my own mother to be able to talk about and tell you that I proudly support the paycheck fairness act,” Childers said during a news conference in Jackson. Childers is trying to unseat six-term Republican Sen. Thad Cochran in the Nov. 4 general election, and he criticized Cochran for voting to block such a bill. Cochran was among 40 Republican senators who voted Monday against letting the pay bill move forward. Fiftytwo Democrats voted to advance the bill, but they fell short of the 60 votes they needed. Cochran campaign spokesman Jordan Russell said the incumbent supports equal pay.

of Biloxi’s Margaritaville casino has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Tuesday, only hours before a hearing where the landlord aimed to seize the property. The filing by MVB Holding LLC in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Gulfport follows the casino’s shutdown on Monday night. Don Dornan, a lawyer for landlord Clay Point LLC, said the company had planned to ask Harrison County Circuit Judge Michael Ward to give it control of the property in a Wednesday hearing. Clay Point said in court papers in July that MVB hasn’t paid rent since the casino opened in 2012 and owes more than $3.8 million, plus $500,000 in taxes that Clay Point had to step in and pay on Margaritaville’s behalf. The bankruptcy freezes the state court case, leaving a judge to sort things out. Clay Point was barricading entrances with concrete traffic barriers as MVB filed.

Top general: U.S. ground troops possible in Iraq BY DAVID ESPO AND DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — American ground troops may be needed to battle Islamic State forces in the Middle East if President Barack Obama’s current strategy fails, the nation’s top military officer said Tuesday as Congress plunged into an election-year debate of Obama’s plan to expand airstrikes and train Syrian rebels. “To be clear, if we reach the point where I believe our advisers should accompany Iraqi troops on attacks against specific ISIL targets, I will recommend that to the president,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey declared in testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee, referring to the militants by an alternative name. Pressed later by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the panel’s chairman, the four-star general said if Obama’s current approach isn’t enough to prevail, he might “go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of ground forces.” Obama has maintained repeatedly that

American forces will not have a renewed ground combat mission in Iraq in this new phase of a long war against terrorists. Tuesday’s remarks by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew a prompt, polite rebuttal from the White House. Obama “will not deploy ground troops in a combat role into Iraq or Syria,” said spokesman Josh Earnest. Dempsey’s testimony underscored the dilemma confronting many lawmakers as the House moves through its own debate on authorizing the Pentagon to implement the policy Obama announced last week. In Iraq on Tuesday, the U.S. continued its expanded military campaign, carrying out two airstrikes northwest of Irbil and three southwest of Baghdad. Democrats in Washington spoke of a fear that the United State might inevitably become dragged into yet another ground war on the heels of Afghanistan and Iraq. “We must ... ask ourselves if we can truly ‘vet’ these rebel groups beyond their known affiliations, and ensure we are not arming the next extremist threat to the re-

gion and the world,” said Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind. Republicans said they worried that Obama was responding tepidly to the current threat by terrorists who have overrun large sections of Iraq and Syria and beheaded two American journalists. “If it’s important enough to fight, it’s important enough to win,” said Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., one of the first lawmakers to address the subject in several hours of scheduled debate. A vote was expected in the House on Wednesday, and in the Senate within days. In the Senate, Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced he would support the measure and Democratic leader Harry Reid predicted bipartisan approval. The timetable was remarkably rapid by congressional standards, the result of a strong desire by lawmakers in both parties to adjourn quickly and return home to campaign for re-election. Only seven weeks before voters go to the polls, most Republicans had little stomach to oppose Obama on a matter of national security, particularly

when polls suggest he has the support of large segments of the public. As a result, the likelihood was that Congress would swing behind his request, and then return for a fuller debate of his war strategy in a postelection session of Congress. “I think there’s a lot more that we need to be doing, but there’s no reason for us not to do what the president asked us to do,” said Speaker John Boehner, the leader of House Republicans. The legislation also drew support from Sen. Levin, an influential voice among Democrats on military matters. He is retiring, but fellow Democrat Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, who is in a difficult re-election race, said she intended to back Obama’s request. Even so, she added it “would be a mistake” for Congress not to debate the issue in depth in the future. Dempsey and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel fielded questions as Obama met in the Oval Office with retired Marine Gen. John Allen, who is coordinating international efforts to combat the Islamic State militants. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., seemed incredulous, saying

the United States evidently intended to train Syrian rebels without anticipating they would be attacked from the air by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, whom they are sworn to drive from power. He asked how U.S. forces would respond in the event Assad’s air force bombed the U.S.-trained forces. “We will help them, and we will support them,” Hagel eventually said. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., posed a different hypothetical question, asking Dempsey if U.S. forces will be prepared to mount search and rescue operations and “be prepared to put boots on the ground” if American pilots are shot down. “Yes and yes,” responded the general. There was skepticism, as well, that the United States would be able to properly identify as many as 5,000 Syrian rebels who could be trusted to carry out Obama’s mission in a region where religious and tribal loyalties frequently collide. Hagel said the U.S. will monitor them closely to ensure that weapons don’t fall into the wrong hands.

China’s rise leaves out American investors Associated Press

WASHINGTON — American investors are clamoring to buy a stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, which is launching what may prove the biggest initial public stock offering ever. But history is stacked against them. China’s explosive economic rise has delivered virtually nothing to most stock investors. When Chinese companies have listed stocks on American markets, their shares have lost an average 1 percent a year for the next three years, compared with an average 7 percent annual gain for other U.S. IPOs, according to research by Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida. Most Chinese stocks trade in China, of course. And those stocks have burned investors, too. From 1993 to 2013, when China’s economy grew nearly seven-fold from No. 9 to No. 2 in the

world, stocks on Chinese markets returned a cumulative total of just 7.9 percent — even if shareholders had reinvested dividends. Over the same time, U.S. stocks jumped 555 percent, German stocks 458 percent and Spanish stocks more than 1,000 percent, according to Credit Suisse. “It’s probably one of the biggest disconnects in the history of stock markets,” says Nicholas Lardy, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Chinese stock gains didn’t even keep up with inflation, says Elroy Dimson, emeritus professor of finance at the London Business School, who helped compile the Credit Suisse numbers. Adjusted for inflation, Chinese stocks lost 3.8 percent a year from 1993 to 2013. It’s entirely possible, of course, that Alibaba will produce outsize investment returns over time. The company has become a hugely popular shopping magnet on the strength of China’s surging growth. Its regulatory filing indicates that Alibaba draws 188 million monthly visitors on mobile devices — a tantalizing target for advertisers. The company’s financial results have been stellar: Alibaba said its revenue jumped 46 percent to $2.54 billion in the three months that ended June 30 and that it earned $1.2 billion excluding a onetime gain.

Mexico airlifts tourists after Hurricane Odile BY ALBA MORA ROCA Associated Press

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico — The Mexican government began airlifting the first of thousands of stranded tourists out of the hurricane-ravaged resort area of Los Cabos on Tuesday, as residents picked up the pieces of shattered, flooded homes. The Interior Ministry said military and commercial planes were carrying travelers out through the Los Cabos international airport, which remained closed to commercial flights due to damage suffered when Hurricane Odile tore through the area late Sunday and Monday. Images on Mexican television showed the terminal full of debris, but Ministry official Jose Maria Tapia told Milenio Television earlier that the runway was usable and work was nearly complete

to make the control tower operable. Travelers were being flown free of charge to airports in Tijuana, Mazatlan, Guadalajara and Mexico City to catch connecting flights and, in the case of foreigners, receive consular assistance. Thousands in the state of Baja California Sur remained without electricity, water or phone service. A boat was on its way with humanitarian aid, and authorities were working to restore utilities. President Enrique Pena Nieto was scheduled to tour the area later, after presiding over an independence day military parade in the capital. Downgraded to a tropical storm, Odile continued to soak parts of the Baja California Peninsula, and forecasters said it was still capable of unleashing dangerous flash floods and mudslides.

In Los Cabos, Enrique Cota wept as he stood in murky, ankle-deep water and surveyed the destruction at his home. On the kitchen wall, a muddy mark nearly waist-high showed how deep the floodwaters got. “We’ll have to start over, little by little,” Cota said, “because the stove, the refrigerator, the television, the kid’s computer — it’s all ruined.” He rode out Odile’s landfall in a shelter with firefighters, and said he hadn’t slept for two days. Homes, stores and resorts along Los Cabos’ famed hotel row all suffered severe damage, with room windows shattered, facades crumbled and lobbies full of debris. Authorities said about 30,000 tourists, 26,000 of them foreigners, were being put up in temporary refuges or hotel areas converted to shelters.

Atlantic City loses 4th casino Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Beset by crushing debt, fleeing customers and run-down facilities, Trump Plaza on Tuesday became the fourth casino in Atlantic City to shut down this year. The 30-year-old casino at the heart of the Boardwalk had been the town’s worst performing for years. It won about the same amount from gamblers this year as the market-leading Borgata takes in every two weeks. And at pennies on the dollar, no one wanted to buy it. Trump Plaza is the latest victim of casino contraction brought on by competition in neighboring states in the saturated northeastern U.S. gambling market. Atlantic City began the year with 12 casinos; it now has eight. The Atlantic Club, Showboat and Revel also closed, and the Taj Mahal could be next on Nov. 13. Theresa Volpe, a cocktail server at the Plaza for 26 years, is looking for a new job — along with about 8,000 others suddenly cut loose by Atlantic City’s casinos since January. An unemployment assistance session will be held Wednesday at Boardwalk Hall. “I don’t know if we’re going to have a difficult time because of our age,” she said. “Someone in their 50s is not necessarily what they want. ” Dealer Ruth Hardrick worked at Trump Plaza for 26 of its 30 years. She, too, is jobless. “You think something will come along (to save the casino),” she said. “And it didn’t.” Donald Trump told The Associated Press that he “will be taking a very serious look” at buying back the company after it declared bankruptcy this

month and that the decision will come down to price. He said he would then have to determine whether Trump Plaza is “viable” and worth reopening. “I got out years ago, the timing was good, but I

feel really badly about the people,” Trump said. Trump owns a 9 percent stake in Trump Entertainment Resorts and went to court last month to try to get his name removed from the properties.

Luis Felipe Puente, national coordinator for Civil Protection, said the airlift would prioritize the elderly and people with health problems. For some, it was a dream vacation turned nightmare. Charly Park, 52, flew in from Los Angeles with his wife on Sunday, but they never even got to check into their room. Instead, they were put directly into the hotel shelter where they spent a hot, cramped night as the hurricane raged outside. “It’s a horrible experience, no air conditioning, no fans ... the power lines all fell down,” Park said. He was considering renting a car to drive to Tijuana, a little over 1,000 miles to the north, and cross the border back into California. Emergency officials in Baja California reported that 135 people were

treated for minor injuries from flying glass or falling objects. But surprisingly for a hurricane of this intensity — it made landfall as a monster Category 3 storm — there were no reports so far of fatalities directly related to Odile. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that by late Tuesday afternoon Tropical Storm Odile had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph. It was centered about 150

miles south-southeast of Puerto Penasco, and was moving to the north near 7 mph. Farther south in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Polo formed off southern Mexico early Tuesday. It was centered 260 miles south of Acapulco with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, and was moving northwest parallel to the coast at 12 mph. The hurricane center predicted that Polo could become a hurricane later in the week.
