Indictment amended for alleged gang BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alleged gang members facing federal racketeering charges were recently arraigned on an amended indictment in the case. Among them are two from Alcorn County — Perry Wayne

Mask of Corinth and Stephen Neal Hubanks of Rienzi — who face various charges in the federal indictment. Hubanks waived personal appearance at the arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty. Mask appeared before Magis-

trate Judge S. Allan Alexander in U.S. District Court, entering a plea of not guilty, according to court records. Plea agreements in the case are due by July 20. Trial, if needed, is scheduled for Aug. 3 in Oxford for 17 defendants in-

volved in the case. The original indictment had 14 defendants. The superseding indictment, filed April 23, details the alleged activities of the Aryan Brotherhood of Mississippi inside and outside prisons, including narcotics distribution, firearms

trafficking, money laundering, and acts of violence involving murder, attempted murder, assault and kidnapping throughout Mississippi. Mask and Hubanks, along Please see ARRAIGN | 2

CT-A youth play opens tonight BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Magical creatures and mythical beasts will spring to life at Corinth Theatre-Arts as audiences are transported into the mystical realm of Narnia. Plucked from the time-worn pages of C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” a cast of over 30 youth and three adults will present a story that has intrigued adventurers since its 1950 publication. A strange location, ruled over by a wicked witch who has woven her icy spell, Narnia is a frigid, snow-covered world where it is always winter and residents live in constant fear of incurring her wrath. “What I want is to be a mighty ruler of Narnia,” said Casey Zappa, who will assume the role of Jadis, the cold-hearted White Witch. “The script doesn’t give any clues as to why I did what I did. If I had to assume, I would say I ruled with fear and intimidation and Salam ruled with ease and made it fun, but I know what it means to be a ruler.”

Filled with mystery and Christian symbolism, the play follows the adventures of siblings Peter (Chris Whitehead), Susan (Sophia Ortega), Edmund (David Soltz) and Lucy (Caroline Chandler) Pevensie as they are evacuated from London during World War II and brought to the countryside to live with Professor Digory Kirke. While exploring the old mansion, the youngest, Lucy, stumbles upon a wardrobe masking the entrance to a magical forest and is sent tumbling into Narnia, where she encounters a strange fawn called Mr. Tumnus (Riley Floyd) beneath a lamp post. Struggling to convince her siblings she is telling the truth, the four children eventually enter Narnia together while hiding in the wardrobe from the professor’s housekeeper. After sneaking away to Jadis’ castle, filled with unfortunate Narnians cast in stone, Edmund finds himself in quite the predicament.

Preservationists have hope to revive Threefoot Building Associated Press

MERIDIAN — Over the years, members of the Threefoot Preservation Society have worked countless hours bringing Meridian’s tallest building back to its former glory from the ground floor up. Meridian’s Threefoot Building is a 16-story Art Deco structure built in the 1920s. It is one of only three Art Deco skyscrapers in Mississippi. The others are the Standard Life Building and

the Plaza Building, both in Jackson. “It’s not going anywhere because it was so well built. It’s not going to just crumble and fall,” Preservation Society Member Elliott Street said. “It is a masterpiece of that technology; steel frame, all poured concrete,” Street said. What to do with the building has sparked debate for decades, including whether it should be torn down or refurbished. The building has

been empty for years. City officials have said there is no money to renovate it or to demolish it. “There were two or three bankers in Meridian that told me, we may as well have a parking lot where the Mark’s Rothenburg building and Opera house are,” said Street. “It would help Meridian more and I would debate with them a little bit, but they were the money people. Fortunately we ended up with the Riley Foundation in Meridian.”

Today in History Today is Thursday, June 11, the 162nd day of 2015. There are 203 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On June 11, 1919, Sir Barton won the Belmont Stakes, becoming horse racing’s first Triple Crown winner.

On this date: In 1509, England’s King Henry VIII married his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. In 1770, Captain James Cook, commander of the British ship Endeavour, discovered the Great Barrier Reef off Australia by running onto it. In 1938, Johnny Vander Meer pitched the first of two consecutive no-hitters as he led the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-0 victory over the Boston Bees. (Four days later, Vander Meer refused to give up a hit to the Brooklyn Dodgers, who lost, 6-0.) In 1942, the United States and the Soviet Union signed a lendlease agreement to aid the Soviet war effort in World War II. In 1959, the SaundersRoe Nautical 1, the first operational hovercraft, was publicly demonstrated off the southern coast of England. In 1962, three prisoners at Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay staged an escape, leaving the island on a makeshift raft; they were never found or heard from again. In 1963, a Buddhist monk, Thich Quang Duc, set himself afire on a Saigon street to protest the government of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem. In 1975, Robert Altman’s ensemble musical drama “Nashville,” released by Paramount Pictures, opened in New York. In 1977, Seattle Slew won the Belmont Stakes, capturing the Triple Crown. In 1985, Karen Ann Quinlan, the comatose patient whose case prompted a historic rightto-die court decision, died in Morris Plains, New Jersey, at age 31. In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people who commit “hate crimes” motivated by bigotry may be sentenced to extra punishment; the court also ruled religious groups had a constitutional right to sacrifice animals in worship services. In 2001, Timothy McVeigh, 33, was executed by injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, for the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people.

Lawmaker remembered for selfless work Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi state Rep. Esther Harrison, D-Columbus, is being remembered as someone who worked for her constituents without seeking the spotlight for herself. Harrison died on her 69th birthday Wednesday at Methodist University Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. She was on kidney dialysis for several years and had been in and out of the hospital recently, family friend Constance Slaughter-Harvey said. Harrison was elected to the Legislature in November 1999 and took office in January 2000 to represent District 41, which is entirely in Lowndes County. The Columbus native was a former teacher and business administrator. “She would have dialysis in Columbus and then drive to Jackson in time to attend the session.

on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. She was a past co-chairman of the House Democratic Caucus. “Democrats are trying to be responsible while remaining fiscally sound,” Harrison said when the party caucus formed in 2005. Harrison was an alumna of Mississippi University for Women. In 2010, she was among those opposing a suggestion by then-Gov. Haley Barbour to merge some universities to save money. Among other things, the Republican governor proposed merging MUW with Mississippi State University. “The case is made. We want to keep (MUW) like it is,” Harrison told The Commercial-Dispatch at the time. Funeral arrangements were pending Wednesday. Survivors include a daughter, Aubra Berenice Givens.

served all Mississippians effectively. He quiet dignity, even in the face of here final long illness, is a great lesson in strength, endurance and devotion to duty.” Republican Gov. Phil Bryant said he and his wife, Deborah, were saddened to learn of Harrison’s death. “She worked quietly and effectively for the people of her district, never seeking fanfare or the spotlight,” Bryant said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.” Harrison was a candidate for re-election in the Aug. 4 Democratic primary against challenger Kabir Karriem. No Republican or independent candidate is running for the seat. Harrison was chairwoman of the House State Library Committee in the 2008-2012 and was vice chairman of the committee this term. She also served

That was the level of her commitment to her constituents,” Slaughter-Harvey said. “She was a soft-spoken woman but was strong in her convictions.” Rep. Bobby Moak of Bogue Chitto, the House Democratic leader, said Harrison was a valued member of the Legislature. “Esther was always a sweet, quiet lady — that is, until she voiced her opinion on issues important to her district when she was clearly able to let you know where she stood,” Moak said. Rickey Cole, chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party, said Harrison leaves a “legacy of service” that improved the state. “I remember when she was first elected, bringing a passion for progress to the House that would remain her constant hallmark throughout her career,” Cole said. “She represented her constituents attentively, and she

Ole Miss names new police chief

Leflore County schools look at tax hike Associated Press

GREENWOOD — The Leflore County School District is proposing a 7 percent increase in local property taxes to offset a loss of state funds. A similar tax increase was enacted in 2014. Seven percent is the most school districts can increase taxes without having to put the issue before voters. Chancery Clerk Sam Abraham tells The Greenwood Commonwealth that the increase would be $30 more a year on an owner occupied home as-

sessed at $100,000. It would be $27 extra for an automobile valued at $30,000. Sheila Freeman, the school district’s business manager, said the system expects to lose $630,132 in state funding for the next year. Most of that decrease is the result of poor student attendance, Freeman said. A major component of the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, the state’s funding formula, is average daily attendance. Freeman said the district had an average enroll-

ment last fall of 2,488 students and average daily attendance during the two months measured was 2,324 — an absentee rate of almost 7 percent. Robert Strebeck, the school district’s conservator since October 2013 following a state takeover, said the condition of the school district could worsen if student attendance doesn’t improve. “Until we all recognize the seriousness of this issue, the district’s ability to sustain itself is questionable,” he said.

OXFORD — Tim Potts, a captain in Purdue University’s police force, is the new campus police chief at the University of Mississippi. Potts, a 24-year veteran in law enforcement, takes over Monday. He replaces Calvin Sellers who retired in May. His hiring was announced Tuesday in a news release. The 50-year-old Potts comes to Ole Miss after having served since 2003 as captain of patrol and administrative operations at Purdue. He managed a patrol division of 30 officers, 13 dispatchers and a division of four detectives. He was also responsible for departmental training and coordination of security arrangements for athletic events and other special events. Potts has a bachelor’s degree from St. Joseph’s College in Renssalaer, Indiana, and is a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy.

Judge: Death row inmate faking memory loss Associated Press

JACKSON — A federal appeals court will decide if a Mississippi death row inmate is mentally disabled and should not be executed. Robert Simon Jr. has appealed a Mississippi federal judge’s ruling that he is compe-

Prison reforms may hurt local governments JACKSON — Should Mississippi gear its prison policy to produce free inmate labor for local governments? The answer that some sheriffs, county supervisors, lawmakers and others are giving Jeff Amy seems to be yes. The fuss is over CorrecColumnist tions Commissioner Marshall Fisher’s decision to shutter the Joint State County Work Program. It’s a hangover from the Legislature’s 2014 decision to reduce inmates in state prisons. Then, most people seemed happy about dialing back on prison sentences. Republicans wanted to spend less money on the Corrections Department and Democrats wanted fewer harsh sentences. That was a reversal of Mississippi’s decades-long pattern of imprisoning a lot more people, leaving the state with five times as many inmates as in 1980. That rate of increase was greater than the nation as a whole, and it made the Magnolia State a world leader in incarceration. Mississippi had the secondhighest rate of jailing people among states in 2013, behind only Louisiana, according to the Sentencing Project. And the United States as a whole trailed only the tiny island nation of the Seychelles in its rate of locking people up. While civil rights advocates have complained about over-incarceration, Mississippi’s prison industrial complex has benefited some. For example, the bribery opportunities for now-convicted Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps were probably more lucrative because of the state’s large number of inmates. And the state needed places to house prisoners. One solution was regional jails, 15 facilities mostly in rural and depressed areas. Counties borrowed to build them with the promise of state inmates, creating some jobs. Other local governments facilitated borrowing for private prisons. When Mississippi had more inmates than it knew what to do with, county work programs were another place to stash them. There too, counties borrowed to build special facilities. But with the prison population falling, both the county programs and state-run Community Work Centers are about half empty. Fisher has sided with preserving his own employees’ jobs, closing county facilities instead. “The taxpayers are going to be left holding the bag for that,” Mississippi Association of Supervisors Executive Director Derrick Surrette said of indebted counties last week. But more acute is the disappearance of the inmates. More inmates mean sheriffs get to hire more jail guards, and local entities get an estimated $23 million in free labor. Carthage Mayor Jimmy Wallace noted inmates have helped repair churches in Leake County, a sure source of electoral goodwill. Advocates say taxpayers deserve to have inmates riding garbage trucks or painting county buildings. “One of the most positive things is the taxpayer telling us they’re glad to see the prisoners out there doing that work, not lying in some bunk bed in Parchman,” central district Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall said of his department’s contracts with counties and cities to have inmates pick up roadside litter. “The taxpayers are paying for that guy to be out there doing that work, they’re feeding him and clothing him and housing him. They want him out there doing something, not piddling away somewhere.” Although it’s hard to see the lucrative future of roadside litter collection, supporters argue some inmates are learning skills like carpentry or auto repair that will help them in the outside world. Lawmakers and candidates are piling in too, trying to save the program. Rep. Tommy Reynolds, D-Charleston, is proposing widening the number of prisoners allowed to participate. “We need to change the law to make even more people eligible for this program,” he said. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)

What will they think of next? ‘Female Viagra’ An advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration has recommended approval of a drug created to raise a woman’s libido. It’s called flibanserin, but it is popularly known as “female Viagra.” The 18-6 committee vote does not guarantee the FDA will give final approval to the drug (it has been rejected twice before), but the agency has a record of mostly going along with the committee’s recommendations. Men of a certain age may rejoice at such a breakthrough. Imagine the possibility of no longer hearing “not tonight, honey, I’ve got a headache.” Think of the time and money this pill could save men. No more expensive dinners. No more mandatory chick flicks. No remembering birthdays or sending flowers. No back rubs or faked sensitivity.

What’s not to like? Plenty. Many believe the contraceptive pill transformed sex from a marital act to a mechanical action. Love would also be re-defined from a selfless regard for another person, to a focus on pleasing one’s self. In this latter definition, when the feelings end or can no longer be sustained at the hormonal level of a randy teenager or newlywed, one jettisons the object of one’s former affection in pursuit of new feelings and new conquests. If women today complain about men who can’t commit – and many do – how do they expect commitment when a little pill can lead to pharmaceutical arousal?

The same holds true for men and Viagra. Little pills can enhance biological function, but as with fire, which can either warm a house or burn it down, sexual activity is best for both sexes within historically and, do I dare say, “biblical” boundaries. These boundaries lead to mutual benefit and a healthier society, which has gotten out of control largely because such limits have been removed. Are we not having enough sex? Is that the problem? Culture is drowning us with sex of all kinds while the media covers up the consequences of sex when it is unrestrained, or experienced outside of a committed marital relationship. The maker of flibanserin, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, says about 7 percent of premenopausal women experience Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, the clinical name for low libido. Even the FDA committee acknowledges that the benefits of the pill are only “marginal” or “moderate.” For some women that might be enough and to the extent it can strengthen the marital bond it could be a good thing, some of the side

effects notwithstanding. These include nausea, dizziness, fainting and sleepiness. FDA officials say they are concerned with how this pill interacts with other drugs a woman might be taking, particularly birth control pills and alcohol. There is also the potential for increased accidents, including car wrecks, falls and other mishaps. Better include a warning label: Women, do not operate heavy equipment while taking this drug! If the drug wins final FDA approval – a decision is expected by August – we might see commercials with seductive-looking women coming on to men, as we now do in the current crop of Viagra ads. If so, Sprout Pharmaceuticals could use Tina Turner’s hit as background music. It would certainly reflect the times: “What’s love got to do, got to do with it “What’s love but a sweet old-fashioned notion “What’s love got to do, got to do with it “Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken.” (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.)

Plan to ‘help druggies’ leads to abysmal results OXFORD — Last year Mississippi lawmakers insisted it was essential to start drug-testing welfare applicants. “We must help them overcome their addictions,” was the altruistic reason. Almost a year passed. Oops. Guess how many people out of 5,578 applicants have been “helped.” Eight. And the “help,” of course, was to reject their applications for free money. Mississippi was not alone in its noble quest. Well over half the states have considered drug-testing applicants for assorted benefits. Nearly two dozen states passed laws. Mississippi’s was modeled after Utah’s. Results nationwide mirror the experience here: The screenings have cost more than they saved. Truth be told, these laws were not about helping druggies. Not at all. They were a legislative response to rising tension between working-class America and an increasingly visible class of citizens who, in polite terms, are leeches. This latter group games public and private charities for handouts. Happy with sustenance-level lives (and sometimes a bit better than sustenance), these

folks receive free food, free housing, free health care, free utilities (including cell phones), Charlie pocket monMitchell ey and more. The image Columnist is that these folks sit on their porches swilling beer (or smoking pot) and laugh at suckers who show up for jobs and paychecks. Working people are angry. Their view is that their jobs are barely enough to keep them and their families fed. Having to cough up taxes for leeches who never worry about the cost of a doctor visit or how much electricity they use is infuriating. An elite element of American society ignores this situation and the tensions it creates. Many politicians relay on the culture of dependency for re-election. That’s not healthy. But it’s equally unhealthy for lawmakers to respond with broad answers and empty solutions that cater to prejudices. In Mississippi, one program was targeted for drug screenings. It is TANF, which stands for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. TANF is one of

the smaller programs — paling in comparison to SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid or Unemployment. The benefit for a family of three is $170 per month. (That’s about $1.90 per day per recipient. Just guessing, but that may not buy a lot of crack.) The law went into effect last July 1. In turn, the state chose a questionnaire created by the SASSI Institute (Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory) to be completed by all applicants. Of the 5,578 TANF applicants (Mississippi has 720,000 residents living below the federal poverty line), the screenings indicated 74 were likely druggies. The state paid $43 each for their drug tests and, through April, eight tested positive. That’s between one and two tenths of one percent. The cost of the screening applications and drug tests totals $21,846, which the Mississippi Center for Justice correctly ciphers as enough to pay one month of benefits to 129 families. Other states have had similar results. To the argument that some may now self-select against applying because they know drug tests will knock them off the eligibility list, there’s this: The number of applications year-to-year

has not changed. So where is the solution? How does a state really help the truly needy while discouraging the leeches? The answer is not in the halls of the Legislature; it’s in the county offices. Caseworkers must be selected and empowered to counsel applicants and use their discretion about awarding benefits of all types. Formulaic approaches simply do not work because the leeches learn the formulas and how to skirt them. There must be penalties, serious penalties, for fraudulent applicants and, importantly, for those who profiteer on the backs of the poor through false Medicaid billing, charging to exchange SNAP benefits for cash, operating slum housing and assorted other methods. What’s clear — and supported by evidence — is that while, “We’ll drug-test ’em,” may have won applause from the working class in a campaign speech, it hasn’t changed reality. Freeloaders are still at it with little to fear. Exploiting the poor continues, too. A law that was supposed to “help,” has not. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist.

Boy fatally shoots self after finding gun RALEIGH, Tenn. — Officials say a 4-year-old boy has died after shooting himself with a gun he found in his parents’ bedroom. Media report the shooting occurred Tuesday evening in Raleigh, just outside the Memphis city limits. Shelby County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chip Washington said there were others at the home at the time including five siblings, who were watching television in a living room while the child’s father was outside doing yard work. His mother was at a nearby store. No one else was injured. A statement from the sheriff’s office on Wednesday identified the boy as Aabriel Jones Jr. Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said the circumstances around the case would determine whether charges are filed. Washington said the investigation is continuing.

Text message helps police find abductee CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — Beaten and raped and her cellphone taken away, a woman who was kidnapped in Tennessee was able to get access to her attacker’s phone and send a text message to her sister, giving police an electronic trail to the Louisiana hotel where she was being held. Multiple news media outlets report 34-yearold Lee Meadows of Clarksville was arrested Saturday and charged with battery by strangulation, second-degree battery, false imprisonment and forcible rape. He is being held at the St. Tammany Parish Jail in Louisiana. Slidell, Louisiana, police say when the attacker briefly left the room, the woman got his phone and sent a text to her sister indicating she was being held near New Orleans. Police said Tennessee authorities were able to trace where the text was sent, leading officers to the hotel.

Congress considers meat labeling repeal WASHINGTON — House Republicans are hoping to repeal a law requiring country-of-origin labels on packages of meat to avoid costly trade retaliation from Canada and Mexico. The World Trade Organization ruled against the

law last month, saying the labels that say where animals were born, raised and slaughtered are discriminatory toward the two U.S. border countries. Canada and Mexico have said they will now ask the WTO for permission to raise tariffs on U.S. goods. The House on Wednesday began debate on legislation that would repeal the law for beef, pork and poultry. A vote was expected later in the day. Congress required the labels in 2008, mostly at the behest of the northern U.S. ranchers who compete with the Canadian cattle industry. Consumer advocates also have supported the labels.

Kwan to work for Clinton campaign NEW YORK — Michelle Kwan is joining Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and will work on outreach programs. The nine-time U.S. figure skating champion, five-time world champion and two-time Olympic medalist has worked for the State Department as a U.S. public diplomacy envoy. Her paid role with the Clinton campaign will include discussing issues that matter to working families. Kwan says she is “really excited to join the team.” While at the State Department, Kwan served as an adviser to Women-Lead, a program focused on opportunities for women and girls in both countries. She worked closely with the secretary of state’s Office of Global Women’s Issues and is a member of the Council to Empower Women and Girls Through Sports, which also was launched by Clinton. Kwan’s husband, Clay Pell, was unsuccessful last year in his bid to become governor of Rhode Island.

Murder charge dropped for induced abortion A Georgia prosecutor dropped a murder charge Wednesday against a 23-year-old woman whose arrest after taking pills to end her pregnancy baffled even abortion opponents. Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards issued a statement saying he had dismissed a malice murder charge against 23-yearold Kenlissia Jones, who spent about three days in jail before she was released. But Edwards said Jones still faces a misdemeanor charge of possession of a danger-

ous drug. Abortion-rights advocates and opponents of abortion alike had said they were stunned by the murder charge. Georgia has prohibited the prosecution of women for feticide or for performing illegal abortions in cases involving their own pregnancies. After reviewing the law, Edwards said he reached the same conclusion. “Georgia law presently does not permit prosecution of Ms. Jones for any alleged acts related to the end of her pregnancy,” the prosecutor’s statement said. He planned a news conference later Wednesday afternoon. Jones was arrested Saturday at the hospital where she sought help after a county social services worker called police, according to an Albany police report. A hospital social worker told police that Jones had taken four Cytotec pills that she ordered online and delivered her fetus after breaking up with her boyfriend. Cytotec is a brand name for misoprostol, a prescription drug used in combination with mifepristone to induce non-surgical abortions. The pills are sold with prescriptions in the U.S., but available over the counter and online in many countries. The social worker told police Jones went into labor and delivered the fetus in a car on the way to the hospital. The fetus did not survive. The police report does not say how far along Jones was in her pregnancy. WALB-TV reported earlier that authorities said Jones was about 51⁄2 months pregnant.

NYC group proposes high-sodium warning NEW YORK — New York City’s Health Department wants all chain restaurants to warn customers about products that are high in salt. The department voted Wednesday to consider the proposal at a meeting of the Board of Health. All chain restaurants would have to add a salt-shakerlike symbol on menus next to products that contain more than the recommended daily limit. That’s 2,300 milligrams of sodium, about 1 teaspoon of salt. Next there will be a public comment period. The final vote could come as soon as September and the warnings by December. Overconsumption of sodium increases the risk of high blood pressure, which can lead to heart attack and stroke.

Hunt for escaped killers expands Associated Press

DANNEMORA, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The manhunt for two escaped killers expanded to campsites and boat slips in Vermont on Wednesday, and State Police said a female prison staff member being questioned may have had a role in helping the men. At a news conference outside the maximumsecurity prison, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said investigators learned that the inmates had talked before last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakout about going to neighboring Vermont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have information that suggests they thought New York was going to be hot. Vermont would be cooler, in terms of law enforcement,â&#x20AC;? Shumlin said on Day 5 of the search. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that a camp in Vermont might be a better place to be. We do not.â&#x20AC;? He and other officials would not say how authorities learned that information.

New York State Police Superintendent Joseph Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico also said that a prison employee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; identified in news reports as Joyce Mitchell, a training supervisor at the prison tailor shop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had befriended the killers and â&#x20AC;&#x153;may have had some role in assisting them.â&#x20AC;? He would not elaborate. Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Tobey Mitchell, told NBC that she checked herself into a hospital with chest pains Saturday. He said she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have helped the inmates escape. Using power tools, inmates David Sweat and Richard Matt cut through a steel wall, broke through bricks and crawled through a steam pipe before emerging through a manhole in the street outside the 3,000-inmate Clinton Correctional Facility in far northern New York, about 20 miles from the Canadian border. The breakout was discovered early Saturday, meaning the inmates

may have had a head start of several hours, Cuomo said. Authorities suspect they had help from the inside in obtaining the power tools. Unions representing guards and civilian staff members at the prison said many have been questioned by investigators but no one has been suspended, disciplined or charged. Vermont authorities are patrolling Lake Champlain and areas alongside it, Shumlin said. Cuomo urged the people of Vermont to be on the alert and report anything suspicious, warning: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trust me, these men are nothing to be trifled with.â&#x20AC;? As part of the search, state troopers and correction officers in helmets and body armor retraced their steps around the prison, checking garage doors, sheds, windows and other structures for signs of a break-in or other clues. More than 450 federal and state law enforce-

ment officers were taking part in the search, including customs agents, federal marshals and park rangers. But at the late-afternoon news conference, Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amico confessed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no information on where they are or what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, to be honest with you.â&#x20AC;? The killersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mugshots have been put on more than 50 digital billboards in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, state police said, and a $100,000 reward has been posted. Law enforcement officials again asked the public to report anything out of the ordinary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them out searching the woods,â&#x20AC;? Sheriff David Favro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting on your porch, get your binoculars out and see if you see something unusual.â&#x20AC;? In Dannemora, Barbara McCasland said officers asked to search her home but she told them no.

Big Easy Foods recall 2 transit buses crash some stuffed chickens inside Lincoln Tunnel Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Louisiana food company is recalling some stuffed chickens sold nationwide because the label didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show wheat, a potential allergen. Big Easy Foods LLC of Lake Charles has not received any reports of allergic reactions from the cooked and raw chickens stuffed with pork sausage and potatoes, managing partner Larry Avery said Wednesday. He said wheat, a minor ingredient in chicken base used to flavor the stuffing, made up less than one-tenth of 1 percent of total ingredients. The U.S. Department of Agriculture was notified and the chicken base was removed from the recipe after an inspection revealed that a recipe change made 2? years ago to include the flavoring had not been reflected in the label, Avery said. All recalled products have an expiration date before June 9, 2017, he said. USDA said the recall affected 93,000 pounds of products. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 31,000 stuffed

He said much of that likely has been eaten, since it covers the past 21â &#x201E;2 years of production. Retailers shown on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website include Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club, Walmart and many smaller chains and independent groceries. Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club and Walmart do not sell the chicken with pork sausage and potatoes, which were the only products recalled, Avery said. Other products made by the company include stuffed boneless chickens with six stuffings, such as cornbread, crawfish and broccoli, cheese and rice; 13 entrees such as gumbos, etouffees and jambalaya, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;TurDuc-Hensâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a stuffed boneless chicken inside a boneless duck inside a boneless turkey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with six different stuffings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;BAPTISMâ&#x20AC;? Over the years, few questions have been discussed and debated more than, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is baptism essential to salvation?â&#x20AC;? Few would hesitate to admit the necessity of faith in Jesus as Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Son, the command of Jesus and the Apostles to repent, or turn from sin, or the importance of confessing that Jesus is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Christ, the Son of the Living Godâ&#x20AC;? (Matthew 16:16) But then, when we arrive at the subject of baptism, we take a step back, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very briefly look at some things about baptism. What does scripture say? What is baptism? From what is stated in Romans 6, baptism is burial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.â&#x20AC;? (Romans 6:4) In Colossians 2:12 Paul taught that we are â&#x20AC;&#x153;buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through faith in the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.â&#x20AC;? To baptize literally means â&#x20AC;&#x153;to dip, to immerse, or to plungeâ&#x20AC;? What purpose does it serve; or, Why should one be baptized? First, it is a command. Jesus said, He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.â&#x20AC;? (Mark 16: 16) The little conjuction â&#x20AC;&#x153;andâ&#x20AC;? in this verse is of such nature that it binds whatever is before it and after it together, and both elements (belief and baptism) are essential for one to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be saved.â&#x20AC;? In discussing the longsuffering of God in the days of Noah, Peter declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) This text tells us then, in the second place, baptism saves. Peter said to those on Pentecost, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repent and be baptized...for the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38) The command is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repent and be baptizedâ&#x20AC;?. The promise given is remission of sins. Who may be baptized? At the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus, the text indicates that â&#x20AC;&#x153;they which gladly received his word were baptizedâ&#x20AC;? (Acts 2:41) In Samaria, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.â&#x20AC;? (Acts 8:12) After the Ethiopian heard about Jesus, and his sacrifice for man, he believed, and confessed Jesus as the Son of God, and was baptized. (Acts 8:35-39) We must do the same in order to be saved. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A New Jersey Transit bus rear-ended a private bus carrying Canadian schoolchildren inside the Lincoln Tunnel on Wednesday, injuring more than 30 people and slowing traffic on one of the busiest routes for commuters entering and leaving New York City, authorities said. The crash happened at around 9:30 a.m. in the center tube on the New York side of the tunnel connecting it with New Jersey, said Joe Pentangelo, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police, which operates the tunnel. None of the 26 students and two adults from the Toronto school was hurt, according to Anna Caputo, spokeswoman for the Toronto District School Board. The group was heading to New York for a graduation trip, she said. As for the transit bus, Pentangelo said 35 to 40 people were hurt, and the four most severely injured had neck and back injuries. The Fire Department of New York said 31 people were taken to hospitals with injuries that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered lifethreatening. Deputy Fire Chief Stephen Lincke said they

suffered minor bumps and bruises. A 32-year-old woman went into labor while stuck in the tunnel and was taken to a hospital. There were approximately 60 riders on the NJ Transit bus heading from Cresskill, New Jersey, to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the transit agency said. At least two people were taken out of the tunnel on stretchers and two others walked out with the help of emergency personnel. People with bloody noses were being treated at a triage station set up outside the tunnel. Jaehoon Chung, a carpenter who was going to work on the NJ Transit bus, said the impact of the crash felt like a minor collision. He said the passengers were stuck on the bus for 10 to 20 minutes because the door was damaged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out. The door was bent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was calm. We all waited until a cop came.â&#x20AC;? The NJ Transit but was eventually towed out of the tunnel. The Toronto bus was driven out. The crash caused delays of up to one hour heading into New York. The two lanes of the center tube in the tunnel reopened before noon.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Entourageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The boys are back in townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Entourage, R, ***1â &#x201E;2, Kevin Connolly, Adrian Gremier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, Jeremy Piven. Director Doug Ellin, Warner Bros. Length 104 minutes. I just read an item from Jeep Renegade that seems to be appropriate for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entourageâ&#x20AC;? and for some of those like us who enjoy excitement, Terry fun, realism and Burns moments to kick back and enjoy Movie Critic life. Their ideas for work are fun, professional and creative while giving their best to the movie. Here are the words I read for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeep Renegadeâ&#x20AC;? commer-

cial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Find Yourself, Create Yourself.â&#x20AC;? This is an interesting idea for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeep Renegadeâ&#x20AC;? commercials. I thank â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeep Renegadeâ&#x20AC;? for their outstanding and excellent words about life and living. Ari (Jeremy Piven) tries to keep the group on the straight and narrow while they want to become more creative with their acting abilities along with their resourcefulness. All of their shenanigans will open up as the film progresses. It is worth watching the movie and performances if the movie audience enjoyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entourageâ&#x20AC;? on HBO. The film has plenty of laughs and crazy moments. Laughter is one of the best items we can do in order to stay sane in this day and time.

After all, we do not want to be grouchy when laughter helps us in so many ways. Since Ari tries to keep the movie under control when it comes to money and script, he has a surprise that does not exactly put him in a good mood. Some of the songs we listen to give the audience a boost for laughter and fun. Take for instance â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boys Are Back in Town,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Can See for Miles,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Go for That,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beast of Burdenâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like a Rolling Stone.â&#x20AC;? Billy Bob Thornton has a small role in the film, because it is his money being used for supporting the movie. Thornton told Ari to be sure that La La World has a terrific movie. It is obvious he means to watch

over Hollywood, so no one goes over the top with his money. One other incident in the movie I found interesting was Liam Neeson giving Ari a signal - if the reader understands what I mean. Of course, it does not take long for Neeson to give his signal. Probably three seconds is all it takes for his very short time on the screen. There are plenty of great deals and crazy moments throughout this film that the audience will not forget. Several years ago I was talking to some friends. One was employed in the guidance department of the high school, and her husband worked as an insurance agent. He said in California they do not live as we do in the South or other parts of the U.S. They have a great deal

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The engineer driving an Amtrak train wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using his cellphone to talk, text or download data just before the train derailed in Philadelphia last month, safety investigators said Wednesday, deepening the mystery of what caused the accident that killed eight and injured about 200. In an updated report, the National Transportation Safety Board said also said the engineer, Brandon Bostian, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access the trainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wi-Fi system while he was operating the locomotive. Investigators have said previously that the train accelerated to 106 miles per hour in the last minute before entering a curve where the speed limit is 50 mph. In the last few seconds the brakes were applied with maximum force, but the train was still traveling at over 100 mph when it left the tracks. Bostian suffered a head injury in the May 12 crash, and his attorney has said the engineer doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember anything after the train pulled out of Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30th Street Station, the last stop before the derailment. Bostian provided investigators with his passcode to the phone, allowing them access to the data without having to go through the phone manufacturers, the NTSB said. At a Senate commerce committee hearing on train safety later Wednesday, NTSB board member Bella Dinh-Zarr said that while investigators have ruled out the most obvious uses of the phone be-

much-cited weakness in the current mission. Questions remain about the Shiite-led Iraqi governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to recruit fighters, especially among Sunni tribesmen, to oust the Islamic State from Ramadi and Fallujah, a nearby city the militants have held for more than a year. Up to now, Iraqi officials have chosen to deploy most U.S.-trained Iraqi troops in defensive formations around Baghdad, the capital. The new training site will be at al-Taqqadum, a desert air base that was a U.S. military hub during the 2003-2011 war. The additional troops will include advisers, trainers, logisticians and security personnel. There now are nearly 3,100 U.S. troops in Iraq involved in training, advising, security and other support roles. The U.S. also is flying bombing missions as well as aerial reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering missions against the Islamic Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces, while counting on Iraqi ground troops to retake lost territory. At a Capitol Hill news conference on Wednesday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said sending several hundred military advisers to Iraq â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a step in the right direction.â&#x20AC;? But he repeatedly criticized Obama for not having

NTSB: Engineer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using cellphone before Amtrak crash

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is incrementalism at its best or worst, depending on how you describe it.â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama ordered the deployment of up to 450 more U.S. troops to Iraq on Wednesday to advise and assist local forces in an effort to reverse the recent gains of the Islamic State. Under the plan, the United States will open a fifth training site in Iraq, with the goal of integrating Iraqi Security Forces and Sunni fighters. The immediate objective is to retake the city of Ramadi, seized by the Islamic State last month. Obama made the decision at the request of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and based on advice from Pentagon leaders, the White House said. The U.S. troops will not be used in a combat role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These new advisers will work to build capacity of Iraqi forces, including local tribal fighters, to improve their ability to plan, lead, and conduct operations against ISIL in eastern Anbar under the command of the prime minister,â&#x20AC;? White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. The Islamic State extremists have seized sizeable areas of both Syria and Iraq. The plan is not a change in U.S. strategy, the administration says, but addresses a need to get Sunnis more involved in the fight, a

of Hippies, Bohemians, and fun in their way of life. Hey, we all know what goes on in Hollywood, and other places where individuals take the road less traveled. Basically what he said was â&#x20AC;&#x153;in California they travel to a different beat than we do.â&#x20AC;? California has a life different from some of the other states. Residents do not seem to take life too serious or worry too much about anything. If readers enjoyed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entourageâ&#x20AC;? on HBO, they will probably enjoy this extra story of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Entourage.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;an overarching strategyâ&#x20AC;? for dealing with the Islamic State. Other critics, such as Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the Republican chairman of the Armed Services Committee, were dismissive of Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is incrementalism at its best or worst, depending on how you describe it,â&#x20AC;? McCain said. The U.S. mission at al-Taqqadum will be more about advising Iraqi forces on operations against the Islamic State militants in Anbar than about providing individual troop training, a U.S. official said. It will be designed to accelerate the integration of Sunni tribes with Iraqi government forces. The expanded effort also will include delivering U.S. equipment and arms directly to al-Taqqadum, not unilaterally but under the authority of the government in Baghdad. Thus it will not represent a change in the U.S. policy of providing arms only through the central government. The U.S. already is training Iraqi troops at four sites â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two in the vicinity of Baghdad, one at al-Asad air base in Anbar province and one near Irbil in northern Iraq. There is another training center for special operations forces near Baghdad.

In an updated report, the National Transportation Safety Board said also said the engineer, Brandon Bostian, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access the trainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wi-Fi system while he was operating the locomotive. fore the crash, they have not ruled out some other possible uses such as use of an app. To determine whether the phone was in â&#x20AC;&#x153;airplane modeâ&#x20AC;? or was powered off, investigators in NTSBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laboratory have been examining the phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating system, which contains more than 400,000 files of metadata. Investigators are also obtaining a phone identical to the engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone and will be running additional tests to validate the data. The phone was used to make calls and send text messages the day of the accident, but inconsistencies in phone records presented difficulties, NTSB Chairman Chris Hart told Congress last week. The voice and text messages were recorded in different time zones and may not have been calibrated to the exact time as other equipment on the train, such as a camera focused on the tracks and a recorder that registers how fast the train was moving and actions by the engineer, he said. Accident investigators have said previously that they have not found any mechanical problems with the train. The track had been inspected not long before the crash.

On Tuesday, the House passed a transportation spending bill that includes $9 million for Amtrak to install inward-facing cameras in locomotive cabs. Five years ago, the NTSB recommended the Federal Railroad Administration require railroads install the cameras so that investigators have a video and sound recording of what was going inside the cab in the event of an accidents. However, regulators didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convene an industry-labor advisory committee to work on possible regulations until last year. The committee has been unable to reach a consensus, and the railroad administration has said it will pursue regulations without the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endorsement. Rather than waiting for regulations, Amtrak will install the cameras on trains in the Northeast Corridor on its own, the railroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and CEO, Joseph Boardman, said recently. The NTSB recommendation on cameras was made as the board wrapped up an investigation into the Sept. 12, 2008 head-on collision between a Metrolink commuter train and a Union Pacific freight train in Chatsworth, California.

All-time high Shares of Netflix have nearly doubled this year, rising 96.5 percent. Their momentum continued Wednesday as they jumped almost 4 percent to an all-time high close of $671.10 per share. Earlier in the session, the price rose as high as $692.79. Investors were clamoring to get in ahead of a possible stock split. At the companys annual meeting on Tuesday, shareholders approved a significant expansion of the number of shares that Netflix is authorized to issue. The total was raised to 5 billion from 170 million. This vote mpowers the board to split the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock. The directors are expected to vote on the measure at their next meeting, which should be around the time the company releases its quarterly earnings in late July. Although a split doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change a companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market value, it often helps lift a stockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price by making the shares appear more affordable to a larger pool of potential investors.

The Commerce Department delivers its May retail sales data today. Retail sales have been mostly declining this year, reflecting restrained consumer spending. Steady hiring has yet to result in significantly higher incomes. Retail sales were unchanged in April after rising 1.1 percent in March. They have risen just 0.9 percent over the past 12 months. Economists anticipate that sales increased again last month.

How to handle the ex-relationship WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I am confused about how to handle my husband’s ex-girlfriend, who shows up at his family funerals and stays three hours at the visitation hanging with my husband and reminiscing about the past. They discuss things out loud with no respect for me. This woman is married, but never comes to these gatherings with her husband. And my husband still does her taxes, even though I told him he shouldn’t. He’s opening the door to trouble. I do trust my husband, but not her. She definitely is still attracted to him, and it shows. Is her behavior normal, or should I tell her at the next funeral to pay her respects and leave? — Not Jealous, Just Hurt Dear Not: Please don’t let your insecurities cause you to overreact. If you trust your husband, it doesn’t matter what his exgirlfriend does. And how often does the family have funerals that you need to worry about this? We agree that she is being inappropriately flirtatious, but it is only a big deal if your husband responds in a similar fashion. We suggest you chummy up to this ex-girlfriend at

Annie’s Mailbox these events. It will totally baffle her, greatly impress your husband and make her less of a threat to you. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Expecting Mom in the Midwest,” who asked for a response when rude people ask, “Was it planned?” You suggested, “Why do you need to know?” I think a good answer would be, “Of course! God planned it!” I love your column. — Bossier City, La. Dear Bossier City: Your response was by far the most popular one we received. We appreciate all who sent in their personal preferences. Here are a few samples: From Pat: Your response was masterful. Another retort (not original to me) would be: “If people ask you, tell them you don’t know.” And a gentler response: “I’m hurt by your question.” El Paso: In my opinion, a better answer to this question is: “Well, I guess that’s really between my husband and me. Don’t you

agree?” R.: I would simply say, “Yes, it was planned, but if we plan another, should we inform you first?” There seem to be more ignorant and stupid people in today’s world, and they have no filters between their brains and mouths. P.: When asked, “Was this pregnancy planned,” I would say, “I give up. Was it?” I have used this more times than I can say, and it always works. Salisbury, Pa.: I’ve found this response works: “Why in the world would you ask such a personal question? It’s rude, and you’re normally not a rude person. Are you feeling OK?” Whenever you end with a question, the other person feels compelled to answer. So throw it back in their court, and watch ‘em squirm. They deserve a little squirming.
