Has anyone seen this man?

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

What happened to Robert Cook?

That’s the question being asked by local law enforcement agencies and those involved in the vehicle repair business after the 49-year-old Corinth mechanic and business owner has gone missing without a trace.

A Missing Person Report was filed on Cook with the Alcorn

County Sheriff’s Department because he has not been seen locally since Thursday, March 9 — a full two weeks, Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell told the Daily Corinthian.

Alcorn County Investigator Caleb Marolt is working the case and Cook is believed to have been in Tunica on Saturday, March 4, said the sheriff.

“We got some information he may have been in Tunica,” said

Caldwell.

The case remains a problem because the owner of Cook’s Auto Repair on U.S 72 West does not have a known home Cook address and he has no local family, noted the sheriff.

“He has a son somewhere in

Louisiana, but we don’t know how to get in touch,” said Caldwell, as Cook is believed to be single.

Added Investigator Marolt, “We are in the blind. There are no relatives to contact.”

The mystery has Cook’s friends concerned.

“There is not a trace of him,” said friend Tim Reynolds, an Auto Zone employee who saw the mechanic often. “No Face-

book posts and he can’t be reached by his cell phone.”

Reynolds offered a public plea to help locate his friend, supplying a photograph and a description of what Cook drives — a 4-door 2003 Chevy Tahoe, gold in color and bearing license plate number ACN 652.

“I’m praying everything is OK, but this is not like him,” Please see COOK | 5

Jacinto turns Hollywood Man faces escape, burglary charges

60 locals on board to be movie extras

An Alcorn County jail inmate faces felony charges of jail escape and burglary after he broke a hole in the ceiling of a holding cell and gained entry into an adjacent property room.

About 60 locals are on board for Monday’s filming of a tense courtroom scene at the Jacinto Courthouse.

Production on Running Wild Films’ “Blood Country” began in Mississippi this week and comes to Jacinto on Monday.

The Jacinto Foundation is asking extras to be at the courthouse in costume and ready to go by 11 a.m. on Monday. It is forecast to be a mild and sunny day in the heart of old Tishomingo for the filming of what is billed as “a Western thriller.”

Notable among the cast is Jeremy London, perhaps best known for the ‘90s TV show “Party of Five” and the 1995 movie “Mallrats.” He was also in the cast of TV shows “7th Heaven” and “I’ll Fly Away.”

In “Blood Country,” he plays

Tracy Bullard said every day is a different challenge and that is what he likes about his job doing administrative work for the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department. “I may be paying bills one minute and working on a computer the next,” he said.

He has worked for the Sheriff’s Office since 2004. Bullard said he also loves being part of the public and helping people. When not at work, Bullard said he enjoys riding motorcycles or four wheelers. He also has a passion for photography — taking pictures of nature scenes and animals. He said he used to own a film 35 mm camera and took an incalculable number of rolls of film. He left the hobby for a while, but acquired a digital camera and took the hobby back up again.

Foundation seeks student success solutions OXFORD — There probably isn’t much more LeBron James can learn about basketball, but the sports megastar’s nonprofit foundation is looking for lessons from the University of Mississippi about ways to help students excel in college.

The LeBron James Family Foundation has established the “I PROMISE Institute� as a resource for its future students on the University of Akron campus. James, who attended Akron public schools and is passionate about education, set up the foundation in October 2016 to work with kids there who are least likely to earn a high school diploma, much less attend college, to help them do both.

James, through a partnership between his foundation and the university, has guaranteed four-year, full-ride scholarships for all its eligible students.

The original class of I Promise students is about to enter high school, and in four years will be college students, many of them the first in their families to do so. The I PROMISE Institute at Akron will be dedicated to researching best practices, implementing academic interventions and providing around-the-clock support for Akron college students. “When we first started this program, I wanted my kids to graduate from high school,�

James said. “But the more we grow as a foundation, the more we find can be done to give our kids the best chance to be successful. “We don’t just want our kids to get to college; we want them to graduate from college. And we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to help them do that.�

Paul Herold, who recently retired from the University of Akron, is doing research on behalf of the foundation at universities to learn about ways to maximize the I Promise program’s impact. Herold recently visited Ole Miss to learn more about the student success programs in place.

After a day-and-a-half of meeting with students, faculty and administrators, he was impressed with the university’s programs as well as its students. “They’re lucky to go to school here,â€? Herold said. “This university has its act together and is very student-centered. The student aairs structure is exceptional, as is the way everyone across campus buys into it. “Any university in the country would be pleased to serve students as well as Ole Miss does.â€?

There is a close Ole Miss con-

nection to the I Promise Network. Herold and Brandi Hephner LaBanc, UM vice chancellor for student aairs and a University of Akron graduate, are on the I Promise Institute Bureau, a governing board of higher education professionals. “It is a true honor that the LeBron James Family Foundation identified our campus as having aspirational practices with respect to access and student support,â€? Hephner LaBanc said. “I am proud of the work of our campus community and thrilled to be a part of telling our stories so other students can benefit from similar programs.â€?

LJFF’s Wheels for Education and Akron I PROMISE Network programs were created to help raise graduation rates in Akron public schools over the long term.

“LeBron’s focus is on increasing graduation rates among the kids who are least likely to graduate,� Herold said. “His program reaches out to Akron kids who are like him, facing serious challenges as they try to complete their education.�

With the addition of the I PROMISE Institute, that commitment continues through college graduation rates for LJFF’s inner-city students at Akron.

The I PROMISE Institute will be a home base for all future high school Akron I PROMISE Network students, acclimating them to life on a college campus while oering programming for students, parents and their families about navigating the college experience. The creation of the I PROMISE Institute is funded in part by Sprite, which James has worked with since 2003.

said the sheri. “He did not actually get out of the jail facility,â€? noted Caldwell.

Guards noticed a hole in the ceiling of the holding cell over the weekend, where Fowler was being held for the Mississippi Department of Corrections, he said.

After watching video, Fowler was arrested, said the sheri.

The suspect gained access into the adjacent property room and took a cell phone and other items, added Caldwell. “The investigation continues to see if any other inmates are involved,â€? said the sheri. “If so, charges will be filed.â€?

Webb, a quiet and intense sheri’s deputy.

The crew will spend two days filming at Jacinto. “They are going to be shooting a couple of scenes on Tuesday, but it’s only Monday that we need the extras,� said Jacinto Foundation Executive Director Beth Whitehurst.

Locals from ages 5 to 70-plus are set to participate as extras. Some members of the music group Lost Cause are among them. “We are seeing a lot of enthusiasm,� said Whitehurst. “People are

excited.�

Extras will fill the courtroom for a key trial scene and will also be filmed milling around the courthouse. The extras are to wear clothing appropriate for the period, similar to the styles on “Little House on the Prairie,� and excluding any denim articles.

Whitehurst said it will be important for those at Jacinto during the filming to comply with the film crew’s directions and to stay out of the way.

The movie is based on true events told in Robert E. Jones’ short story “The Outlaw, the Sheri and the

Governor,� part of a collection called “Mississippi Gumbo.� Running Wild Films co-founder Travis Mills adapted the story and is directing. The story is set in Oakdale, a small south Mississippi town.

It is believed to be the first movie to film scenes in Alcorn County since “Tomorrow� in 1972, which also used the Jacinto Courthouse.

Corinth hotels are expected to accommodate some of the film crew.

It is still possible to get involved with the production as an unpaid extra by contacting Whitehurst at 286-8662 before noon Friday.

Woman arrested on meth charge

Sheriff investigating pair of deaths

TISHOMINGO — A Alabama woman was recently arrested in Tishomingo on meth chagres.

Lacy Harville Strickland, 23, of Florence, Ala., was arrested March 10 after Tishomingo Sheriff Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle on Highway 25 in the Tishomingo area. Once the vehicle was stopped, the deputies noticed that the passengers of the vehicle appeared to be under some type of narcotic and acting nervous. The deputy asked the driver and the passenger for consent to search, which was given to the deputy, and some alleged methamphetamine was found in the purse belonging to the passenger. A smaller bag of alleged meth was also found in the driver’s seat. Both the driver and the passenger were arrested and transported to the Tishomingo County Jail.

Strickland was officially charged with felony possession of controlled substance.

Her bond was set by Justice Court at $3,500 to which she was able to make bond. She remains in custody at the Tishomingo County Jail. Wowever, due to an outstanding warrant from Hardin County Tenn., which she will be extradited for.

WEST POINT — The Clay County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a pair of deaths Tuesday afternoon in the western part of the county, reported the Daily Journal.

Officials were called out to a Dixie Road residence around 4:30 p.m. Details were still sketchy Tuesday evening as investigators worked the scene.

“I can’t say much more than we are currently working a death investigation involving two victims,” said CSO chief investigator Brad Pettit.

More details are expected to be released Wednesday.

Columbus Teen ‘big hero’ for saving his grandmother from fire COLUMBUS — A mother in eastern Mississippi says her teenage son is a “big hero” for rescuing his grandmother from a house fire.

LaQuita Green tells the Commercial-Dispatch that she was she was in Texas filling out an apartment application when her son called and said their home in Columbus was on fire.

The 15-year-old, Jaylon Smith, had just gotten home from school Wednesday when he saw smoke billowing in the back of the house. His maternal grandmother is a stroke patient who uses a wheelchair, so Smith rolled her outside and called 911.

Then, he called his mother to tell her about the fire.

The home was heavily damaged and the family lost most of their belongings, including photos. They are now living with

relatives in Texas.

Tupelo School district gets new superintendent TUPELO — Ten years after joining the Monroe County School District as assistant superintendent, Brian Jernigan has been hired as superintendent of the Nettleton School District, reported the Daily Journal.

Jernigan, who will replace current Nettleton superintendent Michael Cates, will officially step into his new role July 1.

“Everything just seemed to fit, so I made the decision to make the change,” Jernigan said.

Jernigan said he plans to visit the Nettleton School District to begin preparing for his new role before then, but he wants to remain focused on his responsibilities in Monroe County until the official transition.

Cates announced his retirement in January.

“I’m certainly looking forward to working with community of Nettleton and the staff and students,” Jernigan said. “I know they’ve made some good progress and growth, and I look forward to building on that.”

Before being hired as assistant superintendent in Monroe County, Jernigan was a principal in the Tupelo Public School District. Prior to his time in Tupelo, he was a teacher in the Aberdeen School District.

For Jernigan, the move to Nettleton will be bittersweet.

“It’s certainly an exciting and a sad time as well because I’ve gotten to know and develop many relationships here in the 10 years that I’ve been here, but I’m not going to be too far up the road, so it’s not too bad,” Jernigan said. “It’s difficult when you’ve been somewhere for so long to make that transition, but I’m sure I will develop many positive relationships in Nettleton as well.”

Jernigan said he already knows several people in the Nettleton community, including some teachers and administrators in the school district, which he hopes will make the transition a smooth one.

He also hopes that the district and Nettleton community will embrace the change so they can work together to support Nettleton’s students.

“I know that there is probably some apprehension, as there always is when you have change in a school district, but I want to encourage the staff that things will be just fine,” Jernigan said. “I think they’ll find that I’m very easy to work with.”

Corinth, Miss.

Good for arts and grim laughs A group of revelers distributed green lapel ribbons and admonished us all to “Remember the Bowling Green Massacre!” A Truth Fairy used her wand to zap alternative facts.

Rheta Trump may be good for the Johnson arts.

Mardi Gras morning’s Columnist St. Anne parade has a history, since 1969, of being funny, political and daring.

It doesn’t roll, it walks. There are no spectators, only hundreds of costumed participants.

This year it set the creativity bar high.

The parade began in the edgy, artistic Bywater neighborhood and headed merrily toward the French Quarter. Soon it had more marching Trump jokes than a year of Doonesbury.

Yes, despite his apparent lack of a sense of humor or irony or aesthetics, Trump may be good for the arts. Consider the revival of “Saturday Night Live” and increased ratings for late-night comedians.

In an administration providing so much fodder, comics and artists and musicians have their tools ready. You can’t make this stuff up. And you don’t have to.

In my trade, it’s called “gallows humor.”

You laugh to keep from crying.

Sigmund Freud had a run at defining gallows humor. It’s what the oppressed do to ease their own suffering and to undermine the will of the oppressor. “Witticism in response to a hopeless situation” is another definition.

Reporters on deadline use it. Morticians use it. Prisoners use it -- remember “Cool Hand Luke”? Jews in concentration camps used it. Soldiers use it.

When times get tough, the tough tell a joke. Paint a mural. Write a book. Compose a song.

The material is there for the picking.

When federal dollars could be spent on so many useful things, we’re looking for at least $15 billion to build a wall. George W. Bush, of all people, is defending the press.

The president of the United States refuses to release his tax returns. The White House is too shabby a residence for the First Family.

Not only can you not make this stuff up, if you have a creative brain, you can’t ignore it.

The hard part is settling on what to satirize, draw, sing about.

The poorest Trump cabinet member is worth around $800,000. Congressmen with great federal health insurance are doing their damnedest to kill the only insurance plan millions of their constituents have ever had. The administration is rolling back environmental regulations that have gone a long way toward cleaning up our cities in past decades. In a competitive global economy, we’re talking about killing public education and picking fights with trade partners.

We are laughing all the way to a morally bankrupt nation, one that uses race and religion to profile its citizens. One that thinks it is OK for the most senior and disadvantaged of its citizens to lack medicine and basic health care.

I looked up “gallows humor” on Wikipedia. One entry mentioned Oscar Wilde’s last words. When he found himself on his boarding-house deathbed, stone broke and without hope, the writer and wag told a joke.

“Either that wallpaper goes or I do.”

There was a man who could die laughing.

Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@ aol.com.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, help me to understand that peace cannot abide in misery, nor can it stay with every mood. May I be able to overcome the depression that may keep me in sadness and isolation, and have delight in the gladness of friends, and live in the peace of strong resolutions. Amen.

A verse to share Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, —Psalm 1:1

The real lessons of Middlebury College Many people seem shocked at the recent savagery of a mob of students at Middlebury College, who rioted to prevent Charles Murray from addressing a student group who had invited him to speak. They also inflicted injuries requiring hospitalization on a woman from the faculty who was with him.

Where have all these shocked people been all these years? What happened at Middlebury College has been happening for decades, all across the country, from Berkeley to Harvard. Moreover, even critics of the Middlebury rioters betray some of the same irresponsible mindset as that of the young rioters.

The moral dry rot in academia goes far deeper than student storm troopers at one college.

Frank Bruni of the New York Times, for example, while criticizing the rioters, lent credence to the claim that Charles Murray was “a white nationalist.” Similar -- and worse -- things have been said, in supposedly reputable publications, by people who could not cite

one statement from any of Dr. Murray’s books that bears any resemblance Thomas to their Sowell smears.

Academia, Columnist however, is ground zero in the war against people whose ideas go against the current political correctness. The virtual monopoly of the political left, on campuses across the country, allows all sorts of things to be attributed to people the left disagrees with, irrespective of whether those people have ever said anything resembling what they are alleged to have said.

Professors don’t usually riot against people whose ideas they disagree with, because they can just dismiss those ideas, with some characterization that there is no one on hand to challenge.

Professor William Julius Wilson of Harvard, for example, said of Justice Clarence Thomas, “He’ll say he pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. I say I was

in the right place at the right time.”

Just where did Justice Thomas say that he pulled himself up by his own bootstraps? The central theme of his autobiography credits the wisdom of the grandfather who raised him as what saved him. Nuns who taught him in school were brought to Washington, at his expense, to be present to see him sworn in as a Justice of the Supreme Court, to see that their dedicated efforts had not been in vain.

But has anyone ever asked Professor Wilson on just what he based his claim about Justice Thomas? The central tragedy of academia today is that you don’t have to have anything on which to base dismissals of people and ideas you disagree with.

This attitude is not unique to William Julius Wilson or to Harvard. On the west coast, Professor Lanny Ebenstein of the University of California at Santa Barbara has included economists Stephen Moore and Walter Williams, as well as television host John Stossel among those “committed to the welfare of the top few.”

I have known Walter Williams for more than 40 years. When we both lived on the east coast, we and our wives often met socially. In all that time, neither in public nor in private did I ever hear Walter Williams express the slightest concern for the welfare of the affluent. Innumerable times I heard him focus his concern on the well-being of people like himself, from a poverty background.

But who is going to ask Professor Ebenstein to cite the basis for his claim?

Why should we expect students to welcome debate about differences of opinion, when so many of their professors seem to think cheap shot dismissals are all you need?

So long as academia talks demographic “diversity” and practices groupthink when it comes to ideas, we have little reason to expect better of student mobs that riot with impunity.

Is Turkey lost to the West?

Not long ago, a democratizing Turkey, with the second-largest army in NATO, appeared on track to join the European Union.

That’s not likely now, or perhaps ever.

Last week, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan compared Angela Merkel’s Germany to Hitler’s, said the Netherlands was full of “Nazi remnants” and “fascists,” and suggested the Dutch ambassador go home.

What precipitated Erdogan’s outbursts?

City officials in Germany refused to let him campaign in Turkish immigrant communities on behalf of an April 16 referendum proposal to augment his powers.

When the Netherlands denied Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu landing rights, he exploded, saying: “The Netherlands ... are reminiscent of the Europe of World War II. The same racism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, anti-Semitism.”

When Turkey’s family and social policies minister, Betul Sayan Kaya, drove from Germany to Rotterdam to campaign, Dutch police blocked her from entering the Turkish consulate and escorted her back to Germany.

Liberal Europeans see Erdogan’s referendum as a

power grab by an unpredictable and volatile ruler who has fired 100,000 civPat il servants Buchanan and jailed 4 0 , 0 0 0 Columnist Turks after last summer’s attempted coup, and is converting his country into a dictatorship.

This crisis was tailormade for Geert Wilders, the anti-EU, anti-Muslim Dutch nationalist who is on the ballot in Wednesday’s Dutch general election.

Claiming credit for the tough stance of conservative Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Wilders tweeted: “I am telling all Turks in the Netherlands that agree with Erdogan: GO to Turkey and NEVER come back!”

“Wilders is a racist, fascist Nazi,” replied Cavusoglu.

Wilders had been fading from his front-runner position, but this episode may have brought him back.

While no major Dutch party would join a government led by Wilders, if he runs first in the election, the shock to Europe would be tremendous.

Rutte, however, who dominated the media through the weekend confrontation with the Turks, could be the beneficiary, as a resurgent

nationalism pulls all parties toward the right.

All Europe now seems to be piling on the Turks.

Danes, Swedes and Swiss are taking Europe’s side against Erdogan.

Marine Le Pen, leader of the populist National Front in France, called on the socialist regime to deny Turkish leaders permission to campaign in Turkish communities. She was echoed by conservative party candidate Francois Fillon, whose once-bright hopes for the presidency all but collapsed after it was learned his wife and children had held donothing jobs on the government payroll.

On April 23 comes the first round of the French elections. And one outcome appears predictable. Neither of the major parties -- the socialists of President Francois Hollande or the Republicans of exPresident Nicolas Sarkozy -- may make it into the May 7 finals.

Le Pen, the anti-EU populist who would lift sanctions on Putin’s Russia, is running even with 39-yearold Emmanuel Macron, a socialist running as the independent leader of a new movement.

Should Le Pen run first in April, the shock to Europe would be far greater than when her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, made the finals

in 2002.

At the end of 2017, neither Wilders nor Le Pen is likely to be in power, but the forces driving their candidacies are growing stronger.

Foremost among these is the gnawing ethnonational fear across Europe that the migration from the South is unstoppable and will eventually swamp the countries, cultures and civilization of Europe and the West.

Other ethnonational crises are brewing in a familiar place, the Balkans, among the successor states born of the 1990s breakup of Yugoslavia.

The upshot of all this: Turkey, a powerful and reliable ally of the U.S. through the Cold War, appears to be coming unmoored from Europe and the West, and is becoming increasingly sectarian, autocratic and nationalistic.

While anti-immigrant and anti-EU parties across Europe may not take power anywhere in 2017, theirs is now a permanent and growing presence.

With Russia’s deepening ties to populist and nationalist parties across Europe, from Paris to Istanbul, Vlad is back in the game.

Commissioners approve school project funding (The following story by Joel Counce first appeared in the Independent Appeal and is being reprinted with permission.)

SELMER, Tenn. — The McNairy County Commission voted unanimously to accept an interlocal agreement with the McNairy County School Board to fund new building projects which have been 10 months in the making.

The proposed deal will take sales tax dollars the school system usually receives to pay the debt for the building project.

Dollars specifically allotted for salary, classroom or other projects would not go toward the debt payment.

“This is just an agreement to work toward financing the school project,” McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks said.

“It’s the beginning of getting some things to happen.”

County commissioner Matt Wood said it was a step in the right direction.

“I applaud the effort to put this down in writing,” Wood said. “I go back to the question of who it would effect and how, but I think everyone wants to see progress.”

The school building projects are at Adamsville Elementary School and Selmer Elementary School.

Total costs for new construction at AES and SES is estimated to be around $19 million.

The project would add 16 classrooms, administration offices, a multi-purpose building and a cafeteria to Adamsville Elementary, totaling about 30,000-square feet. Cost of the project will be about $5.6 million.

At Selmer Elementary, the proposed new addition would add 36 classrooms, administra-

tion offices, and a cafeteria and kitchen, as well as equipment.

The new building will take up to 85-86,000-square feet and would cost $13.7 million.

“We have a general plan with a price tag based on square footage and things like that,” McNairy County Director of Schools Wayne Henry said.

“We have looked at alternate situations and things we may have to cut out ... once we see those hard numbers we will have a better idea.”

The commission also approved a measure which would absorb a $3.5 million note as part of the funding project. The debt remains from a 1996 project for a total of $23.225 million.

“We’re going to have to extend those payments,” said Scott Gibson, Senior President with Cumberland Securities Company Inc. “The problem is

proved.

“This means our existing companies within the county can save on tax deferments, container costs and duties,” Crittendon said.

Crittendon said the certification is an important tool in drawing industries into the county.

“Every company now is global,” he said. “As we continue to work toward bringing industry, it’s just another tool we can use to court those industries to the county.”

Crittendon first presented the request to the commission in August. The application cost $25,000.

The certification will be formally introduced on March 28.

The county commission also approved a measure to table a proposed animal shelter location, pending a business plan by the group.

all those payments are stacked up.”

Cumberland Securities is a registered municipal advisor who works with the school system to determine what is in their best interest when it comes to competitive or negotiated sales, public or private placements or fixed or variable rate bonds.

Payments more than three years old have to be approved by the state comptroller’s office before they can be changed into a note.

“This just gives us more ammunition when we go to the state comptroller’s office and present it,” Gibson said.

In other board business, McNairy County Economic Development and Chamber of Commerce CEO Eddie Crittendon announced the organization’s proposed foreign trade zone certification had been ap-

Couple found dead in rural Clay County WEST POINT — Clay County authorities have identified a Tupelo couple found shot to death.

Sheriff Eddie Scott says Kentario L. Boyd and Kenya Campbell, both 23, suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

The bodies have been sent to the state crime lab to determine a cause of death.

Authorities say the bodies were found Tuesday about 4 p.m. inside a red Chrysler PT Cruiser on a road near the Webster County line.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports neither victim had a prior criminal history in Clay County but the

isolated road where they were found is known as a place for criminal activity.

Scott says it’s the first double-homicide in the county in at least 18 years. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is assisting his office.

Formby nominated for commission JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant is nominating a longtime Republican lawmaker to serve on the three-member Workers Compensation Commission.

Rep. Mark Formby of Picayune has served in the House since 1993.

If the 60-year-old is confirmed to the commission, he would resign the District 108 House seat and Bryant would

set a special election to represent the Pearl River County district.

Formby graduated from Mississippi State University in 1979 and has worked for family retail businesses and in real estate. He also worked on the Washington staff of then-U.S. Sen. Trent Lott from 1987 to 1991.

Formby says Wednesday that he wants a Workers Compensation Commission that is fair to employers and employees.

He is nominated for a term starting the middle of next month and ending in December 2022.

DeSoto Central band to march in NYC SOUTHAVEN — A high school band from north

Mississippi is set to march in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York.

Multiple news outlets report that the DeSoto Central High School group will be one of about 150 bands taking part in the annual celebration of Irish heritage.

The band from Southaven is directed by Dennis Cox. Students were boarding buses Wednesday to travel to New York.

Higher pay allowed for pension director JACKSON — A new state law will let Mississippi offer a higher salary while seeking a new director for its state government pension program.

Boy trying to escape vehicle dies

Pat Robertson intends to retire in 2018 as director of the Public Employees Retirement System.

She is one of many state government employees with a salary capped at 150 percent of what the governor earns. With the governor’s salary at $122,160, the cap is $183,240.

The new law will lift the cap and let the PERS board offer a higher salary. Robertson’s pay would not be affected.

Republican Sen. Sean Tindell of Gulfport says he was told the PERS board intends to set a top salary of $215,000.

Gov. Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1301 on Monday, and it becomes law July 1.

OXFORD — A Mississippi boy was killed after his family’s car started moving while he was in the driver’s seat and he tried to jump out of it.

The Oxford Eagle reported that Henry Miller, 9, died after the accident Sunday in Oxford.

Officers said he had gotten into the family car and it started to roll backward after he knocked it into neutral. He was struck by the car while trying to escape it.

He died at Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi after emergency crews tried to save him.

said Reynolds. “Everyone is worried that something may have happened to him,” he added.

Cook is a likeable person, noted Reynolds.

“He’s a great guy,” he said. “He is always looking out for others.”

Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance agreed, saying he got to know Cook when he was a city jail trustee.

“He’s a super nice guy,” said Dance. “And a great mechanic. We really like the man. We hope nothing has happened to him.”

The police chief said his force will join in the effort to locate the missing man.

Marolt said the key to missing persons cases is locating family. He asked for anyone with information about Cook or his family to please contact him at the sheriff’s office at 662-286-5521.

“Robert has never been like this before,” added Reynolds. “Something is not right.”

good, though, about what was discussed and I’m praying we can get this all worked out.”

The town’s attorney received a letter from the school district last month following the announcement that Corinth based Pathway Christian Academy would relocate to the Rienzi school property. The letter stated the arrangement would trigger the reverter clause, putting it back in school district ownership. The school district transferred the property to the town about four months ago.

“We want to do this legally

and I told the school board exactly that,” said Williams.

“We just want to get someone in that building so we can get the income. It’s the only way the town will be able to afford the insurance on the property.”

The K-12 private school planned to use the gymnasium, cafeteria, ball field and some of the classrooms of the former elementary school.

School board attorney Arch Bullard said “the board took no action” following this week’s meeting with town officials.

Pathway still plan to relocate to Rienzi and will temporarily be housed inside Rienzi Baptist Church.

GOP leaders acknowledge health bill changes

BY ALAN FRAM AND RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Their health care overhaul in trouble from all directions, the White House and top House Republicans acknowledged Wednesday they would make changes to the legislation in hopes of nailing down votes and pushing the party’s showpiece legislation through the chamber soon.

But even as GOP vote counters tallied support during a series of evening roll calls, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., declined to commit to bringing the measure to the House floor next week in comments to reporters. He and other Republican leaders have repeatedly said that was their plan.

Reflecting the need to buttress support, Ryan told reporters that GOP leaders could now make “some nec-

essary improvements and refinements” to the legislation, which would strike down much of Obama’s 2010 overhaul and reduce the federal role, including financing, for health care consumers.

At an all-hands meeting Wednesday evening of House GOP lawmakers, Vice President Mike Pence and party leaders urged their rank-and-file to rally behind the legislation upending former President

Barack Obama’s health care statute. The bill would strike down much of Obama’s 2010 overhaul and reduce the federal role, including financing, for health care consumers. “‘It’s our job to get it out of here and get it to the Senate,’” Pence told the Republicans, according to Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla. That would let President Donald Trump pressure “Democrats in these red states to come on board,’” Ross said,

referring to Republican-leaning states.

Amid the maneuvering, a government report said more than 12 million people have signed up for coverage this year under the very statute that President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans want to repeal.

With Democrats uniformly opposing the Republican bill, that figure underscored the potential political impact of the GOP’s next move.

Sex assault reports up at military academies Four men charged Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Reports of sexual assaults increased at two of the three military academies last year and an anonymous survey suggests sexual misconduct rose across the board at the schools, The Associated Press has learned.

The new data underscore the challenge in stemming bad behavior by young people at the military college campuses, despite a slew of

programs designed to prevent assaults, help victims and encourage them to come forward. The difficulties in some ways mirror those the larger military is struggling with amid revelations about Marines and other service members sharing nude photos on websites.

Assault reports rose at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, while drop-

GOD IN GENESIS ONE PART TWO God is eternal. God is powerful, as demonstrated in the creation of all we see about us, and by the many things we cannot see with the naked eye. The order and design of the heavens and earth affirm the existence of an Intelligent Designer.

Let’s begin this week by noting that God is seen in Genesis one as a Benevolent Provider. The text of verses 28-30 suggests that God had provided for man’s sustenance in creating the “herbs bearing seed”, and the fruit from the trees, and gave him dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowls of the air, and over all living things. The psalmist sees all this as indicative of God being “mindful” of man.

(Psalm 8:4) “Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet; All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is they name in all the earth.

(Psalm 8:6-9) God also provided for man when he created woman; a “help meet” for him. (1:27, 28 and 2:18) The only time God said of His creation, “It is not good,” is when he saw it was not good that the man should be alone. (Genesis 2:18) Not only did she provide companionship for the man, but God intended that by their physical union, in the sanctity of marriage, they would reproduce, thus “replenishing” the earth. (Genesis 1:27, 28 and 2:18-25) If our understanding of the text is correct, chapter two is an “amplification” of certain parts of chapter one. “And the Lord God took the man, and put him in the garden to dress it and to keep it.” (2:15) He then tells Adam that he may eat of every tree of the garden, with the exception of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and that if he does partake of that tree, he “will surely die.”

Thus God is seen in the opening chapters of scripture as a lawgiver.

ping at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado.

The Air Force decline was sharp, going to 32 last year from 49 in 2015, contributing to an overall decrease in the overall number of reported assaults at the academies. The total reported cases fell to 86 from 91 in 2015, according to details obtained by The Associated Press.

Pentagon and military officials believe more people are reporting sexual assaults, which they see as a positive trend because it suggests students have more confidence in the system and greater willingness to seek help.

But the anonymous

survey results suggest more assaults and crime occurring. They showed more than 12 percent of women and nearly 2 percent of men saying they experienced unwanted sexual contact.

In that survey, the largest increases in sexual misconduct were also at the Navy and Army academies. A vast majority of students said they didn’t file a report on the assault because they didn’t consider it serious enough.

Many women said they took steps to avoid the perpetrator, while more than a third of the men said they confronted the person.

in breach at Yahoo

BY ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Two Russian intelligence agents and a pair of hired hackers have been charged in a devastating criminal breach at Yahoo that affected at least a half billion user accounts, the Justice Department said Wednesday in bringing the first case of its kind against current Russian government officials.

In a scheme that prosecutors say blended intelligence gathering with oldfashioned financial greed, the four men targeted the email accounts of Russian and U.S. government officials, Russian journalists and employees of financial services and other private businesses, U.S. officials said.

Using in some cases a technique known as “spear-phishing” to dupe Yahoo users into thinking they were receiving legitimate emails, the hackers broke into at least 500 million accounts in search of personal information and financial data such as gift card and credit card numbers, prosecutors said.

states or a combination of them to compromise the privacy of our citizens, the economic interests of our companies or the security of our country,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord, the head of the Justice Department’s national security division.

The case, announced amid continued U.S. intelligence agency skepticism of their Russian counterparts, comes as U.S. authorities investigative Russian interference through hacking in the 2016 presidential election.

Officials said those investigations are separate.

One of the Yahoo-related defendants, a Canadian and Kazakh national named Karim Baratov, has been taken into custody in Canada. Another, Alexsey Belan, is on the list of the FBI’s most wanted cyber criminals and has been indicted multiple times in the U.S. It’s not clear whether he or the other two defendants, Dmitry Dokuchaev and Igor Sushchin, will ever step foot in an American courtroom since there’s no extradition treaty with Russia.

Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for a Daily Corinthian special edition coming out on Tuesday, March 21. There will be columns by Sue Bronson (food), Patrick Poindexter (gardening), Josh Webb (outdoors), Tom Parson (Civil War history), Cody Daniel (library), Ryland Bruhwiler (Sox the cat), plus photos and a feature on V Taco, a new downtown Corinth restaurant located in a renovated building.

Dad’s dumpster-diving habit causes his family concern D E A R ABBY: I have an issue with my father and don’t know where to turn. Dad is Abigail in his early 80s and -Van Buren aside from poor eyeDear Abby sight -- he’s in good health. I’m concerned because he has developed an unusual habit. He likes to look through the dumpsters behind the grocery store.

Initially he told me it was to get old produce for compost in his garden. But I have learned that he eats some of the things he finds. I have tried telling him this is dangerous. He could cut himself digging through the trash or get food poisoning. He refuses to listen and insists that what he is doing is safe. (He is NOT forced to do this out of economic necessity. He has enough money to buy groceries.)

The situation has become critical because he is now planning to cook something he found in the dumpster for a family gathering. I told him not to do it. If he does prepare food from the trash, I told him he must let people know where it came from, so they can make an informed decision about whether to eat it.

Abby, please help. -- GROSSED OUT DEAR GROSSED OUT: If you can’t convince your father to disclose to relatives that the food he’s serving may have come from a dumpster, YOU should alert them to that possibility.

P.S. A worldwide trend I heard about recently is something called “freeganism.” (The term is derived from a cross between “free” and “vegan.”) Freegans “rescue” food from behind markets to share among themselves to combat food waste, and in Paris, France, there’s even a restaurant that serves food procured this way for a reduced fee.

Caveat emptor: People who consume this food should be aware that the food may be past its nutritional peak, and they may risk a food-borne illness if it wasn’t stored properly.

DEAR ABBY: My 9-year-old daughter has several friends whom we love and who are good buddies for her. However, the rules in their homes are different from those at ours. One friend in particular, “Sarah,” eats a lot of junk food and watches more TV than we allow. When my daughter asks why she can’t have chips and ice cream after school, or why we watch movies only on weekends, I remind her that good food and exercise make her healthy, and with less TV she does better in school.

I’m not interested in critiqu-

ing Sarah or her family, who are lovely people we really like.

However, I do want to make the connection between unhealthy lifestyle choices and possible consequences because this is a subject we’ll keep revisiting as my daughter grows up.

I have been trying to say things like, “Everyone makes their own decisions. This is why we do it this way,” but at 9, my daughter sees things as pretty black or white. If our way is right, then their way must be wrong.

I’m totally failing at subtlety. Is there a better approach that I could take to talking about this without invoking comparisons?

-- LIFESTYLE CHOICES IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR LIFESTYLE CHOICES: Do not attempt to debate this with your 9-year-old. If your daughter argues with you about your parenting style, tell her that different families have different standards and that you are doing what you think is right for yours. Period. If she needs more of an explanation, then fall back on the message you have been sending her, and in time she will understand.

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).

Today is for thinking ahead.

There’s a process you’ll begin now (while you’re far upstream from the destination) so that you’ll have what you need in the moment you need it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Paradoxically, humility is among the least popular virtues, but those who adopt, understand and live it are among the most popular people. It takes a lot of confidence to be humble!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your work and process and role may be very different from your colleague’s or loved one’s position, and yet you both struggle with the same obstacles.

There’s a way to work together for mutual benefit.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When everybody tends to his or her own business, news is scarce. If the helpless are being harmed, step in. Other than that, there are very few instances when it’s right to intervene.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In-

vestigations aren’t just for solving crimes. Investigate positive things too, especially the qualities and habits that might lead you toward the attainment of your goals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There are some very unhealthy situations in the world, and some of them you have to deal with on the regular. Don’t let it stop you. At the end of the day, it’s up to you to make a change and go where you can grow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As for that person with whom you can’t seem to sync up with: This is nothing to take personally.

What’s going on is that you’re just not hearing the same music.

Don’t try and impress. Instead, search for common ground.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Some are offended by the colloquialism “whatever,” putting it in the same category as a curse word. At the very least, it represents disrespect and faux apathy, two things against your nature.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t do it all in one day, or even think of it all in one day.

But you can keep a running list.

There’s something extremely lucky about committing your plans to writing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Knowledge alone won’t make you any more effective than knowing the fundamentals of a dance will make you a dancer. This is why you practice over and over today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People who take responsibility for their actions once are likely to do so again and again. The reverse is also true. You’ll make an important decision, and an accurate character assessment will be key in this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

“Duty first” is your guiding principle. Furthermore, you’ll put your own agenda aside to do what your friend needs. Just don’t leave yourself out entirely. What you do for your own enjoyment makes the world better, too.

Today

Head in the clouds

Google is the leader in search and online advertising, but when it comes to cloud-computing services, it’s behind both Amazon Web Services and Microsoft’s Azure.

Baird Equity Research analyst Colin Sebastian says Google can take advantage of the experience it already has with data-analysis and artificial-intelligence technology to stand out from competitors.

But so far, he says, Google hasn’t gotten that message across.

“What may seem like a straight-forward use case to one of the most technologically sophisticated companies on earth may not be self-evident to enterprise customers in less tech-oriented businesses/industries,” Sebastian wrote.

It’s a small portion of revenue at Amazon, but it’s becoming an important business. While Amazon had an early lead, others including Google are gaining.

MARKET SUMMARY G

5.6 5.5

Cloud-computing services let businesses contract out the storage, management and processing of data, so they don’t have to set everything up in-house. The importance of cloud services was underscored a few weeks ago when an outage at Amazon Web Services disrupted thousands of websites and apps.

During Google’s Next conference this month, Google demonstrated how it is charging forward with new and better services. Sebastian says that includes better tech support and marketing to help people better understand its capabilities.

Sebastian says Google’s challenges are similar to what Amazon faced five years ago. And he believes Google “can evolve into an AWS-sized business over the next five years.” Amazon Web Services has about $12 billion in annual revenue now.

Better results?

Economic bellwether

Wall Street expects that Dollar General’s latest quarterly results improved from a year earlier.

Financial analysts project that the discount retailer’s earnings and revenue increased in its fiscal fourth quarter.

Investors will also listen today for an update on how the company’s sales trends are faring in the wake of cuts to food-stamp benefits in several states. That weighed on Dollar General’s profits in the third quarter.

The Commerce Department reports its latest monthly data on U.S. home construction today.

Economists predict that builders broke ground on new single-family homes and apartments at a faster pace in February than in the previous month. U.S. home construction slowed in January, primarily due to a drop in apartment construction. Even with the decline, overall new home construction was running 10.5 percent higher in January than a year earlier.

How to medicate a child with ADD WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My 7-yearold son was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder last year. Before then, my husband and I thought for a while that he just had “a lot of energy” and had trouble grasping some things in school, like all kids at some point or another. But he started falling behind significantly, to the point where classmates were calling him stupid. (Don’t even get me started on those kids.) My poor son’s selfesteem just plummeted, and he began getting easily frustrated with his work. Since the diagnosis, we’ve tried putting him on a low dosage of medication. It’s made a world of difference. He is not only following along in school but also able to hold an actual conversation with us and his peers and stay on task.

Previously, when I would ask him to brush his teeth before bed, on his way to the bathroom, he’d find a new Lego to unpack and then go to the kitchen pantry to see about a snack.

The problem is that my husband also has ADD, and after a few months of this success, he just told me he no longer wants our son to take the medication. He feels that our son is too “robotic,” and he doesn’t want to “drug him up.” I don’t blame

Dear Annie him for his reservations; he spent a few years as a teenager trying different medications, and virtually every one produced difficult side effects. He has lived his life without medication. (Don’t get me started on that, either.) I feel that staying on this track is the best for our son and that my husband is projecting his experience on our son. Do you see a compromise here?

Or is this a no-brainer? — Concerned Mom Dear Concerned: No way is this a nobrainer. Decisions involving children and medication are often complicated and always require careful consideration. Every case is different, and I can’t say for sure what the best choice for your son is. I would recommend that you go to a licensed therapist whom you and your husband agree on and seek his or her professional opinion on the matter.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “Tired and Exhausted” — whose son is struggling with addiction — was good but incom-

plete. As a parent of two people who were addicts for a very long time (both are sober now), I’d like to recommend Learn to Cope.

This is a wonderful support group started by Joanne Peterson in 2004, and it has over 7,000 members. Though it is based in Massachusetts, the organization holds meetings in several locations, and its website alone is a wealth of information. (Check it out at http://www.learn2cope. org.) Anyone who joins (it’s free) can post questions and receive great peer support. “Tired and Exhausted” could also call 508-738-5148 to speak to a member of the Learn to Cope staff. — Mom Who’s Been There Dear Mom: Thank you for sharing. I had not heard of this organization, but I’ve made a note of it for future reference.

And in case Learn to Cope doesn’t have a meeting in your area, I’d again like to mention Nar-Anon Family Groups. It is a terrific organization offering support for anyone who loves someone who suffers from addiction.

81-year-old loves to run, compete

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

GERMANTOWN, Tenn. — The competitive fire still burns in an 81-year-old Stantonville, Tennessee, man as he tries to win in runs across the area.

J.D. Germany took part in the Germantown Half-Marathon on Sunday, and the runner was content to finish the race on a frigid day.

A retired construction worker, Germany has been running for 11 years and enjoys competing in all the area races. He does say that Sunday’s half-marathon (131/10 miles) will be his last one of the long distance runs.

“I’m too old to be running in the half-marathons,” said Germany, laughing. “I was hurting all over before I got to the finish line. I’m not going to put myself through

running that long distance anymore.”

Germany is proud of the over 100 medals he has won over his 11 years of running.

He has finished first in his age group in past races for St. Jude and at Germantown.

A family man, Germany was proud to have three of his four children at Sunday’s race while one daughter stayed home with his wife, Mary Frances. His son Randy and daughter-in-law Tammy ran along side Germany for moral support.

His other children are Sheila Holt, Debbie Qualls and Pam Faulk.

His next run will be in Waynesboro, Tennessee, on March 25 with another race in Adamsville, Tennessee, on April 1.

Germany always enjoys running in the Corinth Co-

ca-Cola Classic 10K in May. He said Corinth race founder Kenneth Williams is his hero.

Germany jokingly said he had sent word to Williams to begin an 80-and-up division for this year’s 10K race in Corinth.

“I can’t just can’t compete with some of those young 75-year-old bucks running against me,” said Germany.

“Kenneth is a fine man who is a good friend to me. I admire his ability to run.”

Germany also likes to ride a bike, and he believes that Shiloh National Military Park is the best place to train in the area. He lives just over a mile from the national park.

“The park in Shiloh is the best place to walk, run or Please see RUN | 11

Avid runner J.D. Germany, 81, says Sunday’s halfmarathon in Germantown, Tenn., will be his last long race. Germany participates every year in the Corinth Coca-Cola Classic 10K, and he hopes to return this year.

What’s Going On Around Here?

BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

As the Gilda Radner “Saturday Night Live” character Roseanne Roseanna Danna used to say back in the 1970s, “It’s always something.”

Playing off that statement, there’s always something going on in the sports world, and this week is no different.

With this being spring break week for the local Mississippi schools, the sports calendar has been lighter,

but several teams have still kept on playing despite the break.

Case in point: Corinth is participating in the Disney (Florida) tournament and Tishomingo County has been playing in the Gulf Shores

Classic in Alabama.

Thrasher hosted a spring break tournament this week with several local teams involved. And Walnut hosted the Tippah County TournaPlease see GOING | 11

ride a bicycle around here,” said Germany.

He had to retire in 2002 following open heart surgery, and he began walking as part of his rehab from the surgery. The running dynamo has undergone three knee surgeries, back surgery and gallbladder removal since 2002.

“I’ve had just about all the operations you can have done, but it has not stopped me from running, walking or riding my bike,” Germany said proudly.

Germany competes against his previous times every time he puts on his running shoes.

“If I am in a run and

can’t get to the finish line, then I am retiring that day,” said Germany in what sounded like a self-challenge. “When I am in a run, I want to finish and I really want to finish in the top three to earn some money.”

Germany is still frustrated over finishing fourth in some races and not getting any of the cash prizes.

When a man is born prior to the start of World War II who can still finish a 131/10-mile race, he is considered a winner whether he brings home a medal or cash.

His loving family have thought of him as a winner long before he began his career as a runner.

ment on Monday despite rainy conditions that washed out the remainder of local games.

Kossuth returns to action today and Friday in the Saltillo Tournament with a trio of games over two days against Itawamba AHS, Amory and Ripley while Alcorn Central hosts Wheeler on Friday before traveling to play at Adamsville, Tennessee, on Saturday.

And softball action renews this week beginning today when Kossuth travels to face Booneville.

Then, there’s the gargantuan softball tournament in Booneville all day Saturday on on five different fields.

This is only a brief sampling of the games on tap beginning this week as students begin readying themselves for the remainder of the athletic season.

Check the local schedule on the main sports page daily for the complete rundown of games, locations and times.

Your help is needed I’d like to take this opportunity to ask for your assistance.

As most of you know there is currently no sports assistant, so I do the best I can by myself assisted by a few regular photo and article contributors.

I’m thankful for each one more than I can express.

But there are times we

could use more photos and story ideas from you, our readers. If you’re attending a ballgame of any type for any local school, please snap a few photos and email them to me at kmohundro@ dailycorinthian.com as soon as humanly possible. I might be able to use them in the next day’s paper or certainly for future editions. Please be sure photos are of good quality and clearly shot.

And please try to take them as close to the action as possible. Good shots will likely make future sports pages.

I also encourage you to call in game scores and information promptly so we can include them in the following day’s scoreboard. Many times coaches and coaches assistants will take care of this, but you can never be too sure. I can use all the help I can get on a daily basis to make this a sports page that represents all the communities and towns that read this paper.

Again, my thanks to all of you who are already on board and helping in any way you can. I’m appealing now to those who can help out that maybe haven’t before.

Don’t fall for the old “someone else will do it” routine. If you can help, please do. And you have my undying gratitude.

Enjoy the rest of your week and maybe by the time school reconvenes next week — for most — the temp’s will be more spring-like as springtime officially begins.

Jackson State hoops commit McKinnis has extra motivation The Associated Press

BRANDON — Brandon’s Jayveous McKinnis didn’t really commit to basketball until around two years ago.

This month, he committed his next four years to playing the sport at Jackson State.

The 24 months since the 6-foot-6, 210-pound senior took up the game has been a whirlwind, with highs, lows and everything in between.

McKinnis’ motivation is the promise he made to his father, Troy McKinnis, who passed at the age of 44 in August of 2015 after a lengthy battle with a rare kidney disease.

That sparked Jay’s interest in, and dedication to, basketball — his father’s favorite sport.

“I told him I was going

to walk in his shoes as far as I could,” Jay said. “He couldn’t continue to play because of his condition, so I want to go further and keep playing in his honor.”

So McKinnis plays with the passion he hopes would make his father proud, wearing the number his dad wore.

It hasn’t been easy.

His dedication to fulfilling that promise started in earnest at Pearl. McKinnis made the team his junior year, but scored just 3 points a game and averaged 4.4 rebounds on a mediocre 15-17 Pirate team.

His numbers weren’t great, but he showed flashes of talent that didn’t go unnoticed by Brandon coach Fred Barnes. When McKinnis and his mother Shaqui-

ta — herself a former track star from Magee — moved to Brandon, Barnes knew exactly what he was getting.

“He was the difference for us,” Barnes said. “We already had the speed, but he added the size and toughness that we needed. We were already a good team, but he made us a Coliseum team.”

McKinnis made an immediate impact for Brandon, which was ranked No. 1 or 2 in the state almost all year. He averaged 9.2 points and pulled down 8.3 rebounds a game. He recorded 10 double-doubles and blocked 90 shots.

Barnes said McKinnis takes pride in effort plays, which is why he grabs so many rebounds.

“He did everything we

asked him to do without grumbling or complaining,” Barnes said. “If he’s hurt, you’d have to ask him, because he’s not going to share it. He’s as humble as you could ever imagine.”

McKinnis had 12 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks in the state semifinal, which the Bulldogs lost to Murrah.

Barnes has had some good players over the years, but he thinks of only one name when asked who comes to mind when he watches McKinnis play.

It’s the name of an old player from Mendenhall who Barnes played against when he was growing up in Collins — Troy McKinnis.

“His dad was on the team that eliminated us from the South State Tournament in my senior year,” Barnes

said. “We did battle every year starting in ninth grade, and Jay is like the second coming. He’s got the same length and skills, and he loves to block shots like his dad did.”

That McKinnis has come so far in so little time hasn’t gone unnoticed. On top of his scholarship from Jackson State, he had offers from every junior college in the state, a few out of state, Mississippi College and Tougaloo.

Barnes said he called Brent about McKinnis over the summer, and that Jackson State coaches had kept an eye on him ever since.

“I told him, ‘This kid is a next level player.’” Barnes said. “He plays like a 7-footer. I wanted someone to grab him, and I wanted it

to be someone like Brent, who’s good to the kids and the coaches after they get them in the fold.”

McKinnis said he hasn’t talked to JSU coaches about what role he’ll play with Jackson State, but knows the chance to play early is there.

Brent has to replace his most productive interior player, departing senior Janarius Middleton, and the Tigers just hobbled their way through one of the most injury-riddled seasons in school history.

Whether he plays early or takes on a learning role, you can bet McKinnis will operate in a manner of which he thinks Troy would be proud.

“It’s what drives me,” he said.
