Two injured in shooting BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Staff Photos by L.A. Story

The Corinth Police Department is investigating the shooting early Saturday of a man and a woman at a residence on West Third Street. Both shooting victims are at Regional One Health in Memphis, Tenn. Police Chief Ralph Dance said those shot are Dawn Kiddy, 38, and Ryan Gahagan, 28. The police department responded to a call of two gunshot victims at 907 West Third

Street at 12:52 a.m. Saturday. It appears Kiddy was shot multiple times and Gahagan was shot once. The male subject was in critical condition, the police department had been advised. The police department continues to interview witnesses and was looking at a person of interest on Saturday. “We are not sure about motive at this point in time,” said Dance. “We’re not sure if it was a robbery or some kind of altercation.”

No Time Flatt was among the special guests at the most recent installment of Corinth’s Pickin’ on the Square. The band’s musical prowess drew applause several times.

Pickin’ on the Square brings fun and fellowship downtown BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

Getting out of one’s car down the block from the Corinth Courthouse on a hot Thursday night in July could produce something unexpected if one is unprepared. The unlikely sound of a feminine voice singing echoes down the side streets and oﬀ the historic downtown buildings. The voice is channeled through a speaker system and amplified. She is singing “Heartaches by the Number” and, in a flood of memories, one can almost hear Guy Mitchell’s voice underneath with the same unique sound remembered from an old tube radio. A couple gets up to dance. People will get to hear the Dulcimer Club and the Courthouse Pickers. It’s the night for Corinth

Pickin’ on the Square — a weekly tradition from 7 until 9 p.m. on Thursday nights where people can wander up to the Alcorn County Courthouse steps, located on Waldron Street, or set up portable chairs in the area in front of the courthouse and then sit back and enjoy a free show. It’s a celebration of music — bluegrass and country or maybe even gospel, a little blues or folk — one never knows what will be found. Pickin’ on the Square was founded by Patricia Depoyster Harville-Nachbar as a way of showcasing the talent of local artists and entertaining the community. The inaugural show was held Aug. 7, 2003 and each consecutive installment consistently keeps audiences coming back. One will see her wander

Traffic safety urged as school begins BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

City and county law enforcement are advising motorists to allow extra time and be patient as the roadways fill up with back-to-school traffic in the coming week. Particularly in the area of Corinth Elementary School and the South Harper Road roundabout, the police department is anticipating traffic congestion as city schools resume on Monday. “We are going to have officers there monitoring traffic,” said Police Chief Ralph Dance. “We would ask everybody to be patient. The first two weeks is always the toughest.” He recommends getting an early start and not rushing.

“If you can avoid the roundabout during the school hours that they are loading and unloading, you are better off,” he said. Officers will also be keeping an eye on speed in the area of Corinth High School on South Harper. “It is an enhanced penalty in a school zone if you get a ticket for speeding through there,” said Dance. In the county, the sheriff’s department will keep an eye on usual spots of congestion such as Central School Road and the four-way stop intersection of Highway 2 and County Road 512 in Kossuth as the county schools resume Please see SAFETY | 2A

Shelter cares for animals, struggling for funding (This story is the first in a series on the “State of the Shelter” – a look at the current issues and goals of the nonprofit, no kill Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter.) BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The numbers paint a clear picture of Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter’s impact on the community. In the past six years, the shelter has rescued more than 9,600 animals and of those more than 8,000 were adopted. Although sometimes animals

are turned away by shelter staﬀ due to space limitations, the local nonprofit has continuously worked to save the abused, ne-

glected, abandoned and injured animals in Corinth and Alcorn County. But it hasn’t been easy. Funding has always been an issue for the shelter. “In 2011, we opened the shelter as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and we did this so that we could be independent from the city and the county, but they have also been our customers since day one and that we are so very thankful for,” said Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner. Annually, the City of Corinth budgets the shelter $75,000,

Alcorn County provides $25,000 and the City of Farmington gives $3,000. According to Doehner, these contractual agreements with local governments make up $103,000 in the shelter’s annual budget of $194,000. “Funds we get from the local governments pay for utilities, some maintenance and wages,” she said. “Wages have increased quite a bit in recent years, though.” Prior to this year, the shelter received up to seven trustees a day from the Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility.

Due to cuts, the shelter now only receives one or maybe two each day. “Due to the inmate shortage, we had to hire people to help run the shelter,” she said. Six part-time animal handlers now work at the shelter an average of 35 hours per week. Doehner’s husband, Luke, is operation manager and the shelter’s only full-time employee. The remaining amount of the shelter’s budget is fulfilled through donations and funPlease see SHELTER | 5A

Pleas close out court term BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A couple of defendants entered pleas on Wednesday in Alcorn County Circuit Court. Fragel Wayne Smith, 33, pleaded guilty to burglary and larceny of a building and, in another indictment out of Tishomingo County, possession of

methamphetamine. On the burglary and larceny charge, Judge Paul Funderburk imposed a suspended sevenyear sentence followed by five years of post-release supervision. He was ordered to pay restitution jointly of $1,500. On the drug charge, the judge gave a suspended three-year sentence.

SAFETY CONTINUED FROM 1A

In another case, Brandon Miles, 40, pleaded guilty to prescription fraud and received a suspended five-year sentence followed by five years of probation. He must enroll and complete drug court. These were the only pleas during the week, which wrapped up the current term of circuit court.

on Thursday. “We encourage everyone to use caution and be on the lookout for children waiting for the bus and the buses making stops,” said Sheriﬀ Ben Caldwell. “We will have deputies at all of the schools observing and assisting with traﬃc.”

Mississippi law requires motorists to stop at least 10 feet from a school bus when the bus is loading or unloading children. Motorists must not proceed until all children have crossed the street to or from the school bus, the flashing red lights are no longer activated, and the stop sign on the side of the bus is retracted.

Today in History Today is Sunday, July 30, the 211th day of 2017. There are 154 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On July 30, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill creating a women’s auxiliary agency in the Navy known as “Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service” — WAVES for short.

On this date In 1619, the first representative assembly in America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony. In 1792, the French national anthem “La Marseillaise,” by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, was first sung in Paris by troops arriving from Marseille. In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces tried to take Petersburg, Virginia, by exploding a gunpowder-laden mine shaft beneath Confederate defense lines; the attack failed. In 1916, German saboteurs blew up a munitions plant on Black Tom, an island near Jersey City, New Jersey, killing about a dozen people. In 1918, poet Joyce Kilmer, a sergeant in the 165th U.S. Infantry Regiment, was killed during the Second Battle of the Marne in World War I. (Kilmer is remembered for his poem “Trees.”) In 1932, the Summer Olympic Games opened in Los Angeles.

Across the Region Booneville School district expects increase in federal funds BOONEVILLE — Booneville School District officials are expecting an increase in federal funding due to the rising number of impoverished families in the district. Superintendent Dr. Todd English told the district’s board they expect to receive $105,000 more in federal funding than originally anticipated. The increase is tied to an increase in the number of students whose families fall below the poverty line. “Our poverty rate has risen significantly to one of the highest in the region,” he said. The additional monies will be used for programs aimed at improving the academic performance of these low-income students, said English. English will present the district’s 2017-18 budget request to Booneville aldermen next week. He said they are budgeting for over $375,000 less in revenue for the new fiscal year, primarily due to cuts in state revenues, but have also cut expenses by over $300,000. The district is focused on stretching available revenue and doing as much as possible with the funds they have. English said they’re committed to being efficient and cutting every expense possible without reducing academic achievement. They also continue to seek revenue sources beyond state funding and local tax funding, including the online programs being offered by the district to other districts across the state under their recently approved District of Innovation project. English said they can’t say for certain at the moment if there will be a change in the millage rate paid by district residents as they await the fi-

nal numbers on what a mill will generate. School districts make a request for a set amount of funding to their local municipality (either city or county) which is then required by law to set a millage rate sufficient to generate the requested funding. English also told board members they have begun reviewing results of standardized tests administered at the end of the most recent school year and are very excited about the performance of students on the exams. The data is still being analyzed and will be officially released by the state department of education in the coming months.

FBI joins search for attempted kidnapper

Officials: Shooting was accidental STARKVILLE – Autopsy results are back following the death of a Mississippi State University student, reported WTVA. Oktibbeha County Coroner Michael Hunt says he believes the shooting death of Austin Powell, 23, of Germantown, Tennessee, was accidental. However, the case is not completely closed, Hunt said. Powell was found at a house on Maxwell Street on July 21.

Selmer Court places attorney on disability inactive status SELMER, Tenn. — The Tennessee Supreme Court has transferred the law license of Bobby Gene “Bob” Gray Jr. to disability inactive status. Gray was terminated from his position of 25th Judicial Assistant District Attorney in June. He is being investigated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation on allegations of theft and possession of a controlled

Tupelo TUPELO – The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Tupelo police are asking for the public’s help finding a man wanted for attempted kidnapping, reported the Daily Journal. Around 2 p.m. on July 4, the Tupelo Police Department responded to the 900 block of Mitchell Street for a reported attempted kidnapping. A black male driving a silver Pontiac Grand Prix with a spoiler on the back (possibly mid-2000s model) entered the neighborhood and attempted to kidnap a 7-year-old female. The juvenile was able to escape and run for help. The suspect fled the scene and has not been located. The suspect is described as a slim, black male with balding hair, some facial hair and possibly in his mid-40s. He was described to be wearing a grey shirt and khaki shorts. It was also reported that he had a large dark brown dog, unknown breed, in the vehicle with him. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Tupelo Police Department at (662) 8416546, the FBI Jackson Division

at (601) 948-5000 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at 1-800-773-TIPS (8477). The case is being investigated by the Tupelo Police Department and the FBI Jackson Division’s Child Exploitation Task Force. The FBI Jackson Division’s Child Exploitation Task Force is composed of agents from the FBI and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office, deputies from the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Office and prosecutors from the United States Attorney’s Offices in Oxford and Jackson.

Lauderdale Co. Owner of pig arrested after 3-year-old bitten LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. – The owner of a 400-pound pet pot-belly pig that attacked a 3-year-old Monday has been arrested, officials said, reported the TimesDaily. Lt. Joe Hamilton of the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office said Thomas Daniel Brown, 21, Lauderdale 225, Rogersville has been charged with permitting livestock to run at large and reckless endangerment. Hamilton said Brown was arrested Thursday night. He is accused of allowing the pig to “roam” the neighborhood. The pig attacked the girl Monday while she and her brothers were playing in their front yard. The child was flown to Huntsville Hospital where more than two dozen stitches were used in closing the bite on her left arm. The child had to be taken back to Huntsville Hospital on Wednesday after the wound became infected, officials said. She remains in the hospital after surgery. Officials said the pig was quarantined for 10 days and will be euthanized.

Corinth, Miss.

A friend in need Friday was a normal day for my friend Barbie Levin, an occupational therapist. She went to the home of a brand-new patient, a baby who’d had a stroke in utero, was now age 1 and was still not crawling. One leg was too weak. As the mom watched, Barbie got down on the floor and placed the baby into crawling position. Then she asked the mom to go get the baby’s favorite food — a veggie stick. As the baby tried to propel herself forward but couldn’t, Barbie propped the weak leg up, and the baby managed a tiny scoot. Lenore Then Barbie had the mom do Skenazy the same re-propping. The baby took her first three Columnist “steps” ever. She reached the treat and, said Barbie, smiling broadly, “ate it with relish.” As she left, the mother stunned with joy, Barbie felt pretty good. And also pretty bad. Like that baby, Barbie was born with a medical problem: something wrong with her urinary tract that aﬀected her kidneys. As a little kid in the 1950s and ’60s, she was in and out of the hospital in an era when people were a lot less sensitive to what that feels like for a child. “The nurses would practice catheterizing on me,” Barbie, 61, recalls. Each stay at the hospital lasted about a week, and she never knew when another one was coming. “My mom would wake me up and say, ‘It’s a hospital week!’” Barbie would be overwhelmed with terror. Probes and pain and loneliness loomed, as did the humiliation of having interns, mostly men, coming in to examine her urinary tract and discuss it as if she weren’t there. Thank goodness for the arts and crafts lady who made her daily rounds. Barbie made a set of tiny dolls. She kept them for 40 years. By then, Barbie was a real mom, a single mom by choice. “I spent all those years working with and falling in love with other people’s children,” she says. “It was time to have my own.” But her kidneys, damaged since childhood, were starting to fail. A few years ago, the doctors told her she’d probably need a transplant, and they were right. The wait for a kidney from a deceased donor in our state, New York, is seven to nine years. Because the wait is so long and because a kidney donated by a living person tends to last up two twice as long as a cadaver kidney, Barbie started a blog called Barbie’s Kidney Quest. How do you explain to the world who you are and why someone might want to consider giving you a kidney? Barbie’s now-college-age daughter, Yona, took a stab at it. She and her mom sing together in the kitchen. They watch a lot of murder mysteries on TV, the British ones. Yona grew up watching her mom checking in on elderly neighbors. As Barbie’s friend, I watch and marvel, too. She loves learning everything, from carpentry to cocktail-making. She invented a grated ginger cocktail in 2012 that is still the talk of our circle. She made her own guitar — and couch — and just did a glassblowing class with her daughter. She’s a lot more indefatigable than her organs. I did a little research and found out that giving a kidney does not shorten the donor’s life or compromise the donor’s health. So I got tested to see whether I would be a match. I’m not. Turns out I couldn’t do a “swap,” either, where I’d give my kidney to a patient I match and that patient’s would-be donor, a match for Barbie, would give her a kidney. So instead, I am introducing you to her. A childhood spent at the hospital. An adulthood spent making ailing kids better and parents weep for joy. Endless curiosity. Deep friendships. And a loving daughter she loves back, more than the moon and the stars. A life worth saving. Barbie. Lenore Skenazy is author of the book and blog “Free-Range Kids” and a hilarious keynote speaker at conferences, companies and schools. Run out and get her book “Has the World Gone Skenazy?”

Prayer For Today Loving Father, thou hast made it needful for me to know that the songs which are sung by divine love are rarely heard by cruel hearts. Grant that my soul may chord with the sweetest music that vibrates in the beauty and harmony of life. Amen.

A Verse To Share Surely he took up our pain and bore our suﬀering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and aﬄicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. — Isaiah 53:4-5

Is Trump entering a kill box? Given the bravery he showed in stepping out front as the first senator to endorse Donald Trump, Jeﬀ Sessions deserves better from his boss than the Twitter-trashing he has lately received. The attorney general has not only been loyal to Trump and his agenda, he has the respect and aﬀection of ex-colleagues in Congress and, more broadly, of populists and conservatives nationally. Trump’s tweets about Sessions are only demoralizing his base. Yet the president is not wrong to be exasperated and enraged. A yearlong FBI investigation into Russian hacking has failed to produce a single indictment. Yet the president watches impotently as a special counsel pulls together a lethal force, inside his own administration, whose undeclared ambition is to bring him down. Trump’s behavior suggests that he sees the Mueller threat as potentially mortal. How did we get to this peril point when there is no evidence that Trump or any senior aide colluded in the hacking? As for the June 2016 meeting with the Russians, called by Donald Trump Jr. when told by a friend that Moscow had dirt on Hillary Clinton, even that was no crime. Foolish, yes; criminal,

no. So, again, how did we get to where talk of impeachment and presidential parPatrick dons fills the Buchanan air? First, AtColumnist torney General Sessions, as a campaign adviser and surrogate for Trump who had met with the Russian ambassador, had to recuse himself from the investigation. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein then assumed oversight authority. Trump then fired FBI Director James Comey and boasted to Russia’s foreign minister about having gotten the “crazy nut job” oﬀ his case. His Oval Oﬃce comments leaked. Comey then leaked notes of his meeting with Trump. Rosenstein then washed his hands of the mess by naming a special counsel. And he chose a bulldog, exFBI Director Robert Mueller. Hence, where are we? Despite zero evidence of Trump or his aides colluding in the hacking, a counterintelligence investigation is evolving into a criminal investigation. Mueller is now hiring veteran investigators and prosecutors specializing in white-collar crime. This is not a witch hunt. It is an Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn, where

the most colorful eggs are likely to be the tax returns and the financial records of Trump, who built a real estate empire in a town where winners brag about how they gutted the losers. What Trump needs is a leader at Justice who will confine the Mueller investigation to the Russian hacking, and keep Mueller’s men from roaming until they hit prosecutorial pay dirt. Consider now Trump’s narrowing options. He can fire Jeff Sessions. But that will enrage Trump’s base to whom the senator is a loyal soldier. He could direct Rosenstein to fire Mueller. But Rosenstein would assume the Elliot Richardson role in the Saturday Night Massacre, when that AG refused to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, resigned, and was canonized as a martyr by the Never-Nixon media. Even if Trump finds a Justice Department loyalist to play the role of Solicitor General Robert Bork, who carried out Nixon’s orders and fired Cox, this would only mean Mueller’s departure. Mueller’s staff of prosecutors and investigators would still be there, beavering away. When Archibald Cox was fired, Nixon ordered his entire office shut down. Yet, within days of the firestorm, it was up and running again with a new special prosecu-

tor. And impeachment resolutions were blossoming in the House. Another Trump option would be to leave Mueller alone and hope for a benign outcome. But from reports of his rage at the recusal of Sessions and unwillingness of Rosenstein to restrict Mueller to the Russian hacking scandal, Trump seems to sense that an unrestricted investigation represents a mortal threat to his presidency. And all the talk of impeachment and pardons suggests that this city can also see what lies over the next hill. After all, we have been here before. From his history, Mueller is not a man to be intimidated by charges of bias. These will only steel his resolve to pursue with his subpoena power every document he wants, including tax returns, until he has satisfied himself. The president is unlikely to view this process with indulgence, and patience does not appear to rank high among his virtues. We are headed for a collision between President Trump and Director Mueller. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of a new book, “Nixon’s White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever.”

Both parties are behaving irrationally What is it about Russia — some vestige of all those Cold War spy films, perhaps — that makes so many people, on all political sides, behave so irrationally when it’s mentioned? Consider the behavior of the Democrats, who are seeking to prove that Donald Trump and/or his campaign colluded with Russia, with the implication that this collusion somehow determined the outcome of the 2016 election. Mainstream media feed this narrative, with breathless multiple-byline stories about Attorney General Jeﬀ Sessions’ encounter with the Russian ambassador in the Mayflower Hotel or Donald Trump Jr.’s ludicrous meeting with the Russian lawyer. Of course, a genuine conspiracy would have been conducted with the internet age equivalent of secret messages written in invisible ink delivered to secret drop boxes. And it’s not clear what useful guidance the shambolic, tweet-driven Trump campaign could have given Russians bent on messing with the American electoral process. In any case, the Russia issue was litigated in the campaign. Candidate Trump’s weird unwillingness to say anything negative about Vladimir Putin, plus his past business dealings in Russia,

raised legitimate questions about his Russia policy. Hillary Clinton intelligently and aggressively aired these issues in debates and on the

stump. No evidence has been found that any state’s election system was hacked. Ever since about 9 p.m. Eastern time on election night, Democrats have been yearning to oust Trump from office. Some otherwise-intelligent liberals outlined scenarios putting Clinton in the White House. Many imagine now that some smoking gun of collusion evidence will result in Trump’s impeachment and removal from office. But it’s hard to imagine what it could be. Special prosecutor Robert Mueller may ensnare some witness in a perjury trap, but how do you have a smoking gun when there’s no identifiable crime? I think it’s irrationally risky for Democrats to make collusion their major issue and effectively to promise they’ll impeach Trump if they win a House majority next year. More to the point, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi seems to agree

and has told colleagues to downplay the I-word. Cool rationality is not a term anyone, fan or foe, seems likely to attach to Trump any time soon. His tweets and interview responses, seemingly determined to prompt Sessions’ resignation as attorney general, are as irrational as critics’ scenarios of his imminent replacement by Clinton. Sessions, the only senator to endorse Trump before he clinched the Republican nomination in May 2016, has striven faithfully to carry out his policies. Sessions’ recusal from involvement on Russia matters last March, though overcautious, was something Trump could have cautioned against then. And Trump could now legitimately call on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to cabin in what National Review’s Andrew McCarthy has argued is Mueller’s illegally broad mandate. Presidents have lines of communication with appointees less public than Twitter. Trump, of course, has only himself to blame for Mueller’s appointment, which resulted from self-admitted clever leaking and maneuvering by James Comey after he was abruptly fired as FBI director in May. Meanwhile, it’s hard to dismiss reports that other Cabinet members and Republican senators are dis-

mayed and disheartened at Trump’s treatment of Sessions. You would surely feel that way yourself if you were in their shoes. Moreover, if Sessions resigns or is fired, there will be confirmation hearings for his replacement. One thing Democrats and maybe some Republicans will demand is a commitment that Mueller not be fired or his investigation not be limited. Similar commitments extracted from Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus prompted their resignations when Richard Nixon ordered them to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox in October 1973. Nixon resigned 10 months later. It has long been my contention that the political marketplace, like the economic marketplace, operates tolerably well when competitors, constrained by the rule of law, act out of rational self-interest. It doesn’t work so well when people on both sides keep acting irrationally.

Hope Street Group launched the program with great success in Kentucky in 2013, replicating it in Hawai’i in 2014, North Carolina and Tennessee in 2015, and Arizona and Utah in 2017. “I applied for the Hope Street Group Tennessee State Teacher Fellowship because I enjoy being actively involved in as many aspects of the educational process as possible. While I work diligently to be an eﬀective classroom educator in order to enact student outcome, I simply feel the necessity to break out of the isolation of the classroom,” Stacy Jones says. “It is also just as important to be knowledgeable about educational policy, to lend one’s voice to the shaping of educational policy, and to have a wide network of colleagues across the state whoshare similar goals and values regarding education.” Stacy Jones, who teaches English at McNairy Central High School, joins twenty new

fellows, along with thousands of teachers across the state increasing teacher leadership and amplifying their voice to inform policy decisions. There are seven teacher leaders returning to the cohort for a second year. Stacy Jones continues, “Teacher engagement is essential to the improvement of education anywhere. Eﬀective curriculum and available technology are integral, but teachers are the ones who inspire students. Students need deep engagement in learning, and engaged teachers are the vehicle through which students reach those higher levels. Without enthusiastic and committed teachers, students will not be successful in their learning” Tennessee State Teacher fellows (STFs) have collected feedback and the opinions of Tennessee teachers on topics such as teacher professional development, Response to Instruction and Intervention (RTI2), chronic absenteeism and eﬀective disci-

pline practices. Teacher Fellows lead focus groups, gather survey data, and meet with local and state leaders to give critical feedback on education policy issues. The program also has an active social media presence, hosting monthly teacher-led Twitter chats on various education-related topics at #HSGEdChatTN. For the 2016-17 school year, in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE),Teacher Fellows conducted a data collection where they sought teacher solutions from their peers on improving school climate, including chronic absenteeism and student discipline. Their findings were turned into actionable recommendations to further support educators in the state. Fellows like Stacy Jones will have the opportunity to survey and discuss similar issues with teachers across McNairy County, and use the results to advocate for teachers and students locally and throughout the state.

“It’s exciting to see the growth of the Tennessee State Teacher Fellows Program, and how teacher leadership has blossomed in our great state,” Keilani Goggins, Tennessee State Teacher Fellow Program Director stated. “Educator insight is critical when it comes to crafting meaningful education policy. I’m confident that this cohort of teacher leaders will do exceptional work engaging their peers and gathering input, while providing actionable recommendations to our partners.” Tennessee educators can contribute their voice to this year’s meaningful policy action by finding a 2017 Hope Street Group Tennessee State Teacher Fellow in their region here. Hope Street Group is a national organization that works to ensure every American will have access to tools and options leading to economic opportunity and prosperity.

Championship lamb McNairy County 4-H member Parker Saum exhibited the Supreme Champion Market Lamb at Tennessee 4-H and FFA Sheep Exposition in Cookeville, on July 8. Since the lamb was born to Parker on his farm in Chewalla, it also won Supreme Champion Tennessee Bred Market Lamb. Parker is a student at Ramer Elementary, entering the 8th grade. He is the son of Keith and Cheryl Saum of Chewalla. Pictured here are (from left) Melinda Perkins, Paula Perkins, Murray Perkins, John Perkins, Judge Ben Williams, Grant Saum, Cheryl Saum, Keith Saum, Parker Saum, Inez Saum, and Matt Crisp of Tennessee Farmers Cooperative. Supreme Champion Market Lamb is the highest award at this show, where 207 market lambs were exhibited by youth from all over Tennessee. The lambs were separated into classes based on their weights and breeds (his was a Suffolk). Parker’s lamb won first in its weight and breed class, then Grand Champion of its breed. The highest award, Supreme Champion, is selected from the Grand Champions of all the breeds. Showing sheep is a Saum family affair, in which they are even joined by family friends, the Perkins family, pictured above. Parker’s parents, grandmother, and one of his brothers joined him at the show. His father, Keith, showed lambs in Mississippi 4-H from ages 9-19. Parker also follows his two older brothers, Connor and Grant, into the show ring. Grant received Supreme Champion Tennessee Bred Market Lamb at this show in 2012, setting a standard of success that served as a motivator for his younger brother.

After a two-month run, the shelter’s biggest fundraiser of the year is set to end on Monday night at 10 p.m. Doehner hopes to raise $6,500 with the 2018 Pet Calendar Photo Contest Fundraiser, an onlinebased photo contest that seeks donations from pet lovers. A photo can be entered for $15 and votes can be casted for $1 each with a $5 minimum. People can donate to the shelter via the contest at calendar. alcornpets.com. “When you enter your

pet or vote in the calendar contest, you are directly supporting the thousands the animals we shelter,” said Doehner. “Last year, we raised $6,492 and, with the help of our wonderful community supporters, we know we can beat that figure this year.” The grand prize pet winner not only appears on the cover of the calendar, but also receives a professional pet photo session, five free calendars and is the featured promo pet for the 2019 calendar. “Without fundraisers, like the calendar, and do-

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six months into his presidency, Donald Trump is saddled with a stalled agenda, a West Wing that resembles a viperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest, a pile of investigations and a Republican Party thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to break away. Trump on Friday indirectly acknowledged the troubled state of his unconventional White House when he abruptly replaced his chief of staďŹ&#x20AC; with hard-nosed retired Gen. John Kelly, until now the Homeland Security secretary. Kelly will take the desk of Reince Priebus, a Republican operative who was skeptical of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electoral prospects last year and ultimately came to be viewed by the president as weak and ineďŹ&#x20AC;ective. Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to succeed will depend on factors outside his control, including whether Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squabbling staďŹ&#x20AC; is willing to put aside the rivalries that have sowed disorder and complicated eďŹ&#x20AC;orts to enact policy. But the big question is can Kelly do what Priebus couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curbing the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penchant for drama and unpredictability, and his tendency to focus more

tently expressed a desire to reach out to North Korea. But in the wake of the Northâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest ICBM test, a stern-looking Moon on Saturday sounded more like his conservative predecessor as he ordered his troops to conduct a live-fire exercise with U.S. forces and endorsed stronger pressure and sanctions against Pyongyang. He then told government officials to schedule talks with Washington over increasing the warhead limits of South Korean missiles. Moon also made a dramatic policy reversal, ordering his military to talk with U.S. commanders in South Korea to temporarily place additional launchers of a contentious U.S. missile defense system, which was seen as a sign that Moon was ready to get tougher on the North. He likely has no other choice as it is well past

the point where Seoul could aďŹ&#x20AC;ord being seen as â&#x20AC;&#x153;beggingâ&#x20AC;? Pyongyang for talks, said Koh Yuhwan, a North Korea expert at Seoulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dongguk University and a policy adviser to Moon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ministries related to foreign policy and security must work with our allies including the United States to ensure that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provocation is met by a stern international response, such as U.N. Security Council measures,â&#x20AC;? Yoon Youngchan, Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior press secretary, quoted him as saying during a National Security Council meeting. Yoon said Moon also directed government oďŹ&#x192;cials to consider the possibility of unilateral sanctions against the North. Through statements released by his oďŹ&#x192;ce and later by the Foreign Ministry, Moonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government made it clear it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t giving up on the hopes for talks just yet.

political backlash Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Weary Republicans in Washington may be ready to move on from health care, but conservatives across the United States are warning the GOP-led Congress not to abandon its pledge to repeal the Obama-era health law â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or risk a political nightmare in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections. The Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure this past week to pass repeal legislation has outraged the Republican base and triggered a new wave of fear. The stunning collapse has exposed a party so paralyzed by ideological division that it could not deliver on its top campaign pledge. After devoting months to the debate and seven years to promising to kill the AďŹ&#x20AC;ordable Care Act, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., simply said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to move on.â&#x20AC;? But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply not an option for a conservative base energized by its opposition to the health law. Local party leaders, activists and political operatives are predicting payback for Republicans lawmakers if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t revive the fight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an epic fail for Republicans,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Phillips, president of Americans For Prosperity, the political arm of the conservative Koch Brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their failure to keep their promise will hurt them. It will.â&#x20AC;?

Rarely, however, do presidents face as much turmoil as quickly as Trump has. His Friday afternoon tweet announcing Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring capped a tumultuous week: â&#x2013; his new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, spewed vulgarities in public at Priebus. â&#x2013; Trump drew blunt criticism from GOP lawmakers over his attacks on Attorney General JeďŹ&#x20AC; Sessions for withdrawing from the federal investigation into Russian campaign interference. â&#x2013; Senate Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; eďŹ&#x20AC;orts to pass legislation that would have overhauled the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law collapsed. Some Trump allies tried to pin the blame for the health debacle on Priebus. The former Republican National Committee chairman had sold himself to Trump as a wellconnected Washington operator who could help round up votes on Capitol Hill. He encouraged Trump to press forward with a health care overhaul early in his presidency. But as Republicans sorted through the rubble of their health care failure, it was Trump, not his chief of staďŹ&#x20AC;, who was the target of criticism.

on settling scores than promoting a policy agenda. No other aide or adviser has been successful on that front. As a candidate, and now as president, Trump has cycled through campaign chiefs and advisers but has remained easily distracted by his personal interests and only loosely tethered to any policy plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trump has spent a lot of his political capital on nothing but defending his own reputation,â&#x20AC;? Alex Conant, a Republican strategist, said of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first six months in oďŹ&#x192;ce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no sustained strategy. His attention seems to shift with whatever is leading cable news at that moment.â&#x20AC;? StaďŹ&#x20AC; shake-ups are a tried-andtrue way for struggling presidents to signal that they are ready to shift course. In 1994, President Bill Clinton elevated budget director Leon Panetta to chief of staďŹ&#x20AC; with a mandate to bring more discipline to a loosely organized White House. President George W. Bush made the same move with Josh Bolten in 2006 as the Bush presidency buckled under criticism of his handling of the Iraq war and the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to Hurricane Katrina.

Boston skyscraper plans move forward BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Massachusetts bill allowing construction of a skyscraper that would cast shadows on two of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most treasured parks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Boston Common and the neighboring Public Garden â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has been signed. The Boston Globe reports that Republican Gov. Charlie Baker signed the legislation Friday, clearing the way for a 775-foot tower on city-owned property. The developers offered to pay Boston $153 million for the parcel. The new law changes rules banning buildings from casting shadows over historic parks. Supporters of the rules say they were crucial in preservation efforts. The development firm Millennium Partners needed the rule changes to build the tower, which still needs approval from the Federal Aviation Administration because of its height.

Inmates get drug to reverse overdose CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chicago now gives at-risk inmates the overdosereversing drug naloxone upon their release from jail and Los Angeles is poised to follow suit, putting the antidote in as many hands as possible as part of a multifaceted approach to combatting the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opioid epidemic. The Cook County Jail in Chicago, which is the largest single-site jail in the country, has trained

about 900 inmates how to use naloxone nasal spray devices since last summer and has distributed 400 of them to at-risk men and women as they got out. The devices can undo the effects of an opiate overdose almost immediately and are identical to those used by officers in many of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law enforcement agencies. Sheriff Tom Dart, whose office runs the jail, said addicts are most at-risk of fatally overdosing in the two weeks after getting out because of their time away from drugs while locked up. Dr. Connie Mennella, the chair of Correctional Health for the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and hospitals system, which administers the program, said only inmates are being trained to use naloxone, but that she eventually hopes their relatives and friends can also be trained.

That compares to 125,000 dos-

es over a 900-square mile area last year. One of the reasons for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion is to prevent the northern spread of raccoonvariant rabies that has been found north of the border in parts of Canada where rabies has been absent for a couple of decades, said Dr. Michele Walsh, Maine state veterinarian. But the program also benefits Maine, where there already have been 30 cases this year of animal rabies in 15 of Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16 counties, she said.

Customers receive first Model 3 cars FREMONT, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tesla Inc. has finally made its long-promised affordable electric car. But it could take years to get it to all the people who want to buy it. Tesla delivered the Model 3 small car to its first 30 customers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all employees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at a company party Friday night. CEO Elon Musk said Tesla will build the cars as fast as it can, but acknowledged that supply issues and other complexities will make it tough to reach his goal of making 500,000 cars next year. Fourteen-year-old Tesla has never made more than 100,000 cars in a year. With its $35,000 starting price â&#x20AC;&#x201D; half the cost of Teslaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous models â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and range of up to 310 miles, the Model 3 could bring hundreds of thousands of customers into the automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fold, taking it from a niche luxury brand to the mainstream.

Family seeks federal probe in shooting SOUTHAVEN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawyers for the family of a Mississippi man fatally shot by police called Friday on the Justice Department to investigate, saying they believe the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was an execution. Murray Wells, the attorney for the wife and son of Ismael Lopez, said officers involved in Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death last weekend in the Mississippi city of Southaven should face criminal charges. Earlier this week, District Attorney John Champion of northern Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DeSoto County said that two officers were present Sunday evening when Lopez was shot at his home in Southaven. According to Champion, police said they fired their weapons after a pit bull dog burst out of the house as they searched for a suspect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and after a man pointed a gun at them through an open door. But Wells is disputing the account given by authorities. The lawyer said he has hired investigators and has spoken to neighbors of Lopez, an auto mechanic originally from Veracruz, Mexico, who came to the U.S. seeking a better life two decades ago and had never been in trouble with authorities.

District to let go of nearly 50 custodians PURVIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Layoffs loom for nearly 50 custodians in Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lamar County School District.

The School Board at its July 10 meeting approved laying off between 40 and 46 custodians in January when the district brings in an outside service to clean its schools. The Hattiesburg-American reports Superintendent Tess Smith and Human Resources Director Chris Wooten met with the janitors July 17 about the layoffs and that Jani-King of Southeast Mississippi would be taking over. Smith told the custodians they could apply for jobs in nutrition services, as bus drivers or as assistant teachers. As of July 21, there were only three job openings for which they were eligible. The action to bring in Jani-King stemmed from a change at Oak Grove High School in 2013. A number of custodians retired there that year and Jani-King took over cleaning only that school. The district eventually hired Jani-King to clean Oak Grove Middle School and the Lamar County Center for Technical Education. In March, Chance asked Smith to look into how much it would cost for Jani-King to clean all the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schools. Starting Jan. 18, JaniKing will service all the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cleaning needs, except for the Central Office, Alternative School, Parents as Teachers building and Technology Center. A district custodian will take care of those places.

DeSoto extends recycling program HERNANDO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest-growing county is extending its

recycling program. The Commercial Appeal reports that starting Oct. 1, DeSoto County will provide curbside pickup of recyclable items in unincorporated areas. The service is already available in cities within the county â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Southaven and Hernando. Ray Laughter, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of environmental services, says DeSoto will be the third of Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 82 counties to offer curbside recycling outside city limits. It will be the first county in the state to offer full recycling in all areas.

Police receive grant to help fight DUIs PURVIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Hattiesburg Police Department has received a grant to help in its fight against motorists who drive drunk. The Mississippi Office of Highway Safety recently gave the department a $66,504 grant aimed at reducing the number of alcohol-related fatalities from five in 2015 to three by the end of 2018, and the number of alcohol-related injuries from nine to six in that same time period. The Hattiesburg-American reports the grant will allow the department to hire a full-time DUI officer to help with those goals. Department spokeswoman Lt. LaTosha Myers-Mitchell says some of the strategies that will be implemented include 10 checkpoints, eight saturation patrols and four education outreach activities or presentations.

Samsung ends Intel’s reign in microchips Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — Intel’s more than two decade reign as king of the silicon-based semiconductor ended Thursday when Samsung Electronics surpassed the U.S. manufacturer to become the leading maker of the computer chips that are a 21st century staple much as oil was in the past. Samsung reported record-high profit and sales in its earnings report for the April-June quarter, and while Intel’s reported earnings beat forecasts, the U.S. company’s entire revenue was smaller than sales from Samsung’s chip division. Samsung said its semiconductor business recorded $7.2 billion in operating income on revenue of $15.8 billion in the quarter. Intel said it earned $2.8 billion on sales of $14.8 billion. Analysts had expected the U.S. chipmaker to report $14.4 billion in quarterly revenue. On an annual basis, Samsung’s semiconductor division is widely expected to overtake Intel’s sales this year, analysts at brokerages and market research firms say.
