Man faces murder charges

Shooting suspect sought

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Capital murder charges have been filed against a Booneville man in the brutal murder of his estranged wife whose bound, beaten and stabbed body was discovered in a wooded area of the city late last Thursday evening. Mike Brian Rutledge, 22, was arrested earlier in the day and helped lead police to the body of his wife, 35-year-old Laura Ann Rutledge, after confessing to the crime, said Booneville Police Chief Michael Ramey. He has been charged with capital murder and is being held without bond in the Prentiss County Jail. “I believe he knew exactly what he did and I don’t think he showed any remorse,” said the police chief.

Corinth welcomes Hobby Lobby BY JEBB JOHNSTON

“I have waited for Hobby Lobby to come for so many years.”

Crafters and home decor fans flocked to Hobby Lobby in the last few days as the retailer opened at Harper Square. Mary Ann Collins of Corinth said she spent hours browsing the aisles on Friday and is impressed with the store. “I am a ‘beader,’ a crafter — I do a little bit of everything,” she said. “This store is like paradise. It has everything I would need.” As a crowd gathered waiting for the doors to open for Mon-

Phyllis Keith-Young day morning’s grand opening, local oﬃcials cut the ceremonial ribbon to welcome the national chain to Corinth. “It’s a great way to start Monday oﬀ,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin. “We’ve got a lot of great businesses in Corinth, and Hobby Lobby is just another addition to that.

Blood drive set for community BY L.A. STORY lastory@dailycorinthian.com

The need for blood never takes a holiday. According to Mississippi Blood Services, there is traditionally a drop in blood donations during the summer months and the Christmas holidays. “Since blood must be available to patients when they need it, (very few can get on a waiting list), we do our best to keep blood available to hospitals. One accident can use upwards to 50 or more units of blood and platelets. That can be devastating to a hospital. While the need for blood never takes a va-

cation or holiday, people do. And donating blood is rarely top of mind for most of us until someone we know needs it,” said Susan Ates, Public Relations Specialist for Mississippi Blood Services. To help keep life-saving blood stores up, Mississippi Blood Services will hold a community blood drive in Corinth on Wednesday, Aug. 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The MBS Donor Coach will be at Walmart on Harper Road. Donors will receive a Tshirt and a gift card, (while supplies last), and can now

officers and investigators in the woods off of the east side of North College Street between Ellis Avenue and McCarley Avenue Thursday evening, not far from where she lived at the College View Apartments. She suffered blunt force trauma and sharp force trauma to the head and upper body. She was found with her hands bound behind her back. “It was a brutal crime scene,” said Ramey. Investigators believe she was killed last Monday or Tuesday. Evidence, including a knife and stick believed to have been used in the crime, has been collected and sent to the state crime lab. Police had begun searching for a body after patrol officers learned earlier in the day on Thursday of a possible murder. Later in the day two witnesses and Mike Rutledge, who was considered a person of interest at the time, were brought in to the police department for questioning. Ramey said Mike Rutledge gave a detailed confession to the murder and told police where they could find

The couple was still legally married but were separated and were in the process of getting a divorce, said the chief. The investigation remains open and active as investigators await autopsy results and reports from the crime lab and continue to develop information and seek evidence such as cell phone records. The police chief said it’s been well over a de-

cade since a homicide has happened within the city. He wants to assure the public this is an unusual event involving only these two individuals and the police department continues to make sure everyone in the community is protected. Ramey also thanked the patrol oﬃcers, investigators and the Prentiss County Sheriﬀ’s Department for all of their work in bringing the case to a resolution.

State reports 1st West Nile death JACKSON — Mississippi is reporting its first West Nile virus death for 2017. State Health Department officials say Monday that a person from Grenada County has died. Nine new cases of the virus were confirmed in Mississippi during the past week, including the person who died. Those bring the state total to 19 laboratory-confirmed cases this year. Forrest and Hinds counties each have four cases and Rankin has two. Covington, Grenada, Humphreys, Jones, Leflore, Lincoln, Madison, Perry and Scott counties have one each. In 2016, Mississippi had 43 West Nile virus cases and two deaths.

Sex offender from Nebraska arrested GULFPORT — A man convicted of attempting to sexually assault a 15-year-old girl in Nebraska has been arrested in Mississippi after avoiding supervision for several years. The Sun Herald reports 32-year-old David Fran-

cisco Pena was arrested in Gulfport on Sunday. He was wanted on two warrants for a charge of failure to register as a sex offender. Nebraska State Police said in a news release from 2008 that he met the girl on Myspace, picked her up in Texas and took her to his Nebraska home. Sex offender registries show that Pena was convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a Juvenile in 2009, sentenced to prison and ordered to register as a sex offender for 25 years. He was paroled in 2010 and fled supervision in 2014. It’s unclear if Pena has a lawyer.

South Carolina fugitive arrested NATCHEZ — Authorities in Mississippi have captured a man who was wanted in South Carolina on several charges including kidnapping. The Natchez Democrat reports 33-year-old Michael Jeremich Easton was arrested Thursday for a warrant from Columbia, South Carolina, on charges of kidnapping, having sex with a minor as well as assault and battery in the firstdegree.

Adams County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Jerry Brown says they received information from the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office that Easton could be in the area. Brown says authorities were familiar with Easton and arrested him without incident. It’s unclear if Easton has a lawyer.

Labor board says Nissan broke law JACKSON — With a union election scheduled this week, the National Labor Relations Board is newly charging that Nissan Motor Co. violated workers’ rights at its Mississippi plant by engaging in anti-union activity. The board alleges a supervisor acted illegally on March 30, well before workers filed for a vote asking that the United Auto Workers to represent them. A vote to decide that question is scheduled Thursday and Friday among about 3,700 workers at the plant in Canton, just north of Jackson. The UAW and its supporters seized on the amended complaint Monday to press their claims that Nissan’s ongoing anti-union campaign is unfair and illegal.

for picture framing, jewelry making, fabrics, floral and wedding, cards and party ware, baskets, wearable art, home accents and holiday merchandise. “Shopping at Hobby Lobby is an experience,” said Parker. The store has enjoyed great sales during its first few days of business, he said. Hobby Lobby tempted shoppers at the 55,000-square-foot store with deals such as 50 per-

cent oﬀ ceramic and pottery decor. Shopper Phyllis KeithYoung returned to the grand opening Monday after already having made a couple of visits and purchases. “I have waited for Hobby Lobby to come for so many years,” she said. “In the past, I have been going to Tupelo, Florence and Jackson, Tennessee, to accommodate the needs of my Girls Scouts and my four 4-H groups and for personal reasons. I am so happy.”

It is Hobby Lobby’s 10th Mississippi store and one of more than 750 in the U.S. Tammie Page is the store manager. The roster of national retailers at the revamped Harper Square will continue to grow. Some preliminary work has begun in the existing mall space adjacent to Hobby Lobby for Marshalls, which is expected to open in the spring of 2018. Another national retailer, not yet named, is also expected to occupy a 20,000-squarefoot space.

Tishomingo Co. Tennessee man arrested for meth TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A Counce, Tenn., man was arrested for meth during a checkpoint on Sunday. The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department along with the Mississippi Highway Patrol, were conducting a safety check-point, just north of Belmont on Highway 25. During the course of the safety checkpoint, a vehicle comes through and officers determined that the driver may be under the influence. The officers asked the driver did he have anything illegal in his vehicle and the driver admitted to the officers that he did. The officers retrieved a bag of alleged methamphetamine that was found in the console of the vehicle. The driver was then placed under arrest and transported to the Tishomingo County Jail. Thirty-one-year-old Kyle Shawn Hauser, of 75 Sandstone Drive in Counce, Tenn., was officially charged with felony possession of controlled substance (methamphetamine). Hauser is currently being held in the Tishomingo County Jail awaiting bond to be set.

Prentiss County Supervisors hear budget request for library PRENTISS COUNTY — Prentiss County supervisors heard recently from Northeast Regional Library Executive Director Dee Hare, who asked the board to consider increasing funding for the library system to help offset significant cuts in state funding. Hare is asking for each of the counties in the library system’s region to increase funding by 10 percent.

Prentiss County currently provides $93,000 in annual funding for the library system and Hare is requesting an increase to $102,300. She said they have seen a $62,000 reduction in state funding for the current fiscal year and expect a reduction of around $95,000 for the next fiscal year. She said it’s possible hours could be cut or branches could be closed if the funding situation does not improve. She emphasized the important role played by the libraries in providing access to information and to computers and the Internet for residents. She said computers at all of the branches are in constant use by residents who have other computer or Internet access using them to search for and apply for jobs, file taxes, take online school courses and do coursework and numerous other vital functions. Board President Murphy said county officials are just beginning the process of creating the budget for the new fiscal year and while he doesn’t expect any cuts to funding for the library it’s too early to say if an increase will be possible.

McNairy County High school students show improvement McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — Education Commissioner Candice McQueen said Tennessee high school students improved across all subject areas – English, math, science, and U.S. history – on the 201617 TNReady end-of-course exams. Thousands of additional students are meeting course expectations compared to last year, and the state reduced the percentage of students scoring at the lowest achievement level across all subject areas.

TNReady is the statewide assessment administered to all students in grades 3-11. It is a more rigorous assessment, compared to past state tests, that is fully aligned to Tennessee’s academic standards, which are based on what students need to know and be able to do each year to ultimately be prepared for college and their careers. In 201516, high school students set a new baseline in the first year of TNReady, and as expected, their scores are beginning to increase as teachers and students adjust to higher standards that ensure students are ready for the next step in their academic journey. “This growth is encouraging, and it shows our students are capable of reaching the high bar we’ve set with our expectations in Tennessee,” McQueen said. “It’s also promising to see not only overall improvement, but some bright spots in the performance of historically underserved student groups. The results from TNReady shine a light on what’s working and help us to identify where we need to better support students and teachers – so every student in Tennessee reaches his or her fullest potential.”

Tupelo Leaders seek public input on city budget TUPELO — In advance of formal budget talks set to occur later this month, municipal leaders will hear public comment related to the city’s budget during a Tuesday evening hearing, reported the Daily Journal. The hearing will come near the beginning of a regularly scheduled Tupelo City Council meeting, set to start at 6 p.m. Tuesday on the second floor of City Hall. The hearing is open to the general public, though most speakers tend to be representatives of non-municipal entities that nonetheless receive some funding from the city. Last year, for example, the leadership of the Lee County Library and the Elvis Presley Birthplace and Museum made pitches for a funding increase. Department heads within Mayor Jason Shelton’s administration have already submitted funding requests. Chief Financial Officer Kim Hanna said she anticipates no significant appropriation spikes in the general fund next year, though same variation may occur.

Corinth, Miss.

Bill will benefit state’s sportsmen Mississippi’s hunting season is just weeks away, and the Senate is moving closer to achieving a big win for our sportsmen and all who enjoy our beloved natural resources. The Senate Environment and Roger Public Works Committee reWicker cently passed the “Hunting Heritage and Environmental United States Legacy Preservation (HELP) Senator for Wildlife Act,” a legislative package with a number of important recreation and conservation priorities. As a member of the committee, I voted in favor of the bill and hope it earns the approval of the full Senate soon. Hunting, fishing, and other wildlife sports are more than popular hobbies in our state; they are also family traditions, drivers of local economic growth, and well-known tourist draws. The “HELP for Wildlife Act” would remove unnecessary regulatory hurdles aﬀecting these recreational pastimes, such as the Environmental Protection Agency’s use of an Obama-era rule on sport fishing tackle. The bill would also promote environmental and conservation practices that do not require excessive federal intrusion, protecting our rich natural resources for future generations of Mississippi sportsmen. In addition, the bill would give recreational shooters more options for target practice with the construction of new public ranges. The “HELP for Wildlife Act” also takes a sensible approach to safeguarding important ecosystems, encouraging public-private partnerships for fish habitat projects and authorizing the protection of wetlands. The loss of wetlands can have a profound eﬀect on wildlife, flyways, and water quality. In Mississippi and elsewhere, wetlands serve as a critical natural barrier against storm surge and flooding. Under the bill, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act would be reauthorized for the next five years. More can be done to improve the experiences of our recreational fishers, who are often limited by outdated federal policies. I have recently introduced two bills to facilitate more local input and better information when it comes to shaping these guidelines. One of the bills, titled the “Modernizing Recreational Fisheries Management Act,” would empower regional fishery management councils to use data from those who know the fishery the best – recreational fishermen – instead of relying solely on information from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration surveys. Catch limits should be based on sound data, and this bill provides more information to local decision-makers. Another bill that I authored would support data-driven decision-making with the reauthorization of the “Integrated Coastal Ocean Observation System Act.” This legislation would have a broad impact, in addition to improving observing capabilities in the Gulf of Mexico. The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System is an expansive network that includes 17 federal agencies and 11 regional associations. It provides a host of valuable information for defense, commerce, weather, and coastal ecosystems, to name just a few areas. These legislative items are positive developments for our sportsmen, and I hope to see them reach the finish line. Mississippians recognize the bounty of wildlife and nature that surround us. A balanced approach to recreation and conservation allows us to enjoy these God-given resources, and it helps reassure us that our children and grandchildren will enjoy them, too.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, my soul floods with joy for the blessings of life. May it be my privilege to be happy in them. Help me not to ask thee for anything which will cause loss to another; may I not delight in a lonely view, but as I see thy glory bring others to the vision also. Amen.

Now in tombstone territory BY RAY MOSBY Columnist

“What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.”—Shakespeare ROLLING FORK— Upon my desk sits a most distinctive coﬀee cup, brought to me as a gift by a dear friend now over a decade ago, after a driving tour out west. On it is depicted the story of The Tombstone Epitaph, the Old West’s most famous newspaper. With its first edition having been printed in a tent in the then Arizona Territory in 1880, The Epitaph was the newspaper of record for the infamous “Gunfight at the OK Corral,” the highly romanticized conflict between the likes of Wyatt Earp, his brothers and “Doc” Holliday on one side, and the evil Clanton gang on the other. The newspaper also sported one of the greatest banner slogans of all time: “No Tombstone is complete without its Epitaph.” And paying attention to that cup for the first time in a while this weekend as I cleaned oﬀ my desk (the age of miracles is not yet over), it set me to thinking about tombstones and epitaphs and such. As some may recall from earlier musings, the Montroy/Mosby clan maintains a family cemetery in north-

ern Coahoma County, and has since 1837. We’ve buried a lot of kin folks there, some who represented absolute splendid examples of humanity and some whose contributions to society are far greater now than they ever were during their more active periods. In other words, ours is just like anybody’s else’s family cemetery, just older than most. I figure to end up there, too, one day when my last “-30-” line gets drawn, and while I’m in no hurry, I have given some thought to what I might like to have etched on my tombstone. There has to be something or it would be like a blank page, and if there is one thing any newspaperman hates, it’s a blank page. It would be hell — recognized — to go through eternity like that. Besides, any man who’s gone through life throwing words around as I have certainly deserves to end up with a few choice ones. (I am quite sure there are some others who would be eager to provide them in the absence of my own.) I’ve thought up a few funny ones over the years from “It’s better than a board meeting” to “Glad I missed the funeral” to “No, I won’t bring you a paper,” as well as a few other creative ones,

which while appropriate, might not be appreciated by surviving family members before finally coming up with one that both suited and satisfied me: “He loved the Constitution and hated any SOB who diddled with it.” And even before it is time for me to employ it, I believe that sentiment might also serve today as the best answer to some of my diehard Republican friends who increasingly ask, “What happened to you? I thought you were one of us.” I used to be, boys. I used to be. But that was when the Republican Party was still the real Republican Party the party of Eisenhower and Buckley and Reagan and Dirksen and even Howard Baker. That’s before it got hijacked by a increasingly thuggish pack of curs that insist on diddling with my Constitution. Within a six-month eternity, the administration of Donald Trump has been most like some hideous real life manifestation of a political author’s imaginings — a “what if” novel about the end of the American Republic as we know it. An almost unbelievable group of characters are addicted to seizing and wielding power absolute, while

the Congress, like the pitiful enablers that all addicts require, continues to give only lip service checks to their excursions farther and farther into constitutional no-man’s-land, rendering themselves, at the same time, impotent. We ignored the warning signs and did not significantly safeguard against it and so in 2017 America, we find ourselves captive to the mentality of a glorified mob family and their cronies who would, without the first regret, write their names and etch their wills into all the sacred slabs of granite where “We the People” used to be, as if it were no more or less than their rightful entitlement. And I hate it. With all my being, I hate it. But most of all, I hate that not enough others see it for what it is, recognize it for what it means, remember that in democratic societies, that which is lost is almost never regained, while too many have confused a court jester for a would-be savior and now must suﬀer from his fancies and fall victim to his whims. Because it is one thing to talk of tombstones and epitaphs in terms of one man, but it’s quite another to do so in terms of the “last best hope of man on Earth.”

Stump speaking not as zippy in political off-year JACKSON — The Neshoba County Fair can be one of the best places to see oldfashioned political stump speaking in Mississippi. But with no statewide or federal elections in 2017, this was a lackluster year for speeches. The only zingers were delivered in back-to-back appearances last week by two men who might be the top contenders for governor in 2019, should they both choose to run — Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood and Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves. Hood, the only Democrat in statewide oﬃce, said the Republican-led Legislature is making a hash of the state budget by cutting taxes and shortchanging mental health services, education and transportation. “We have examples of ... all the tax cuts to large, international corporations, billionaire corporations — giving away our state treasury when we need it the most,” Hood said. Reeves, one of the key players in pushing the tax cuts, said Republicans are taming government’s “endless appetite” for money.

He also snapped at Hood. “The longer he talked the more I became conEmily vinced the Wagster heat has gotPettus ten to him. His vision Capitol Dome is blurry and he’s not making sense,” Reeves said. “Can somebody track General Hood down and keep him hydrated today?” The Neshoba County Fair is an annual gathering in the red clay hills of east central Mississippi. Hundreds of brightly painted cabins become a temporary home base for extended families to eat and socialize during some of the hottest days of summer. The fair has a small midway and a dirt track for horse races. For two days each year, politicians speak under a tin-roofed pavilion that’s almost like an outdoor church on a part of the fairgrounds called Founders Square. Spectators sit on long wooden pews, shuﬄing their feet in sawdust that covers the

dirt. Ceiling fans provide a bit of air circulation, and some people use paper fans to create their own small breeze. During big election years, Founders Square is abuzz with crowds who show up to cheer or jeer the politicians. Some candidates bring busloads of supporters wearing campaign T-shirts. Founders Square has seen some doozies, including a heated debate in 1995 between Republican Gov. Kirk Fordice and the Democrat who was trying to deny him a second term, Secretary of State Dick Molpus. The Molpus family has a cabin on the square, a few steps from the pavilion. Though Neshoba is Molpus’ home territory, the conservative crowd on the square that day responded with whoops and hollers when Fordice roared: “I don’t believe we need to keep running this state by ‘Mississippi Burning’ and apologizing for 30 years ago.” It was a reference to the 1964 Ku Klux Klan killings of three civil rights workers in Neshoba County — a case the FBI called “Missis-

sippi Burning.” At a memorial service in 1989, Molpus publicly apologized to the families of the victims, James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman. Molpus was a child when the killings took place, but he said someone needed to express remorse. Molpus, who ran on a pledge to strengthen public education, lost the 1995 election to Fordice. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant used his Neshoba speech this year to tout job creation and denounce labor unions. Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn said in his speech that he and other Republicans have sought to protect individual liberties: “We believe that just because a problem exists does not mean that government has to fix it.” The politicians’ speeches were greeted with applause, but not by the rowdy cheers of an election year.

Early flower blooms provide much job Recently I mentioned in an article that we should try to give flowers to our friends and loved ones while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living rather than wait until they are gone and then memorialize them with flowers. I was reminded of that the other day when I walked outside to water my two Confederate Rose bushes. The dry weather I figured was hurting them, and I was afraid they might not produce blooms this fall if they went without proper attention. As I began to examine the foliage, I was shocked to see the bush closest to the house had buds all over it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of them already showing pink through their little green coverings. Last year the blossoms didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear

until September and October so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I expected this time. I was so excited, I had to call the person who Lora Ann rooted and pamHuff pered the sprouts for me. Year Back Porch before last and last year, Milton Davis gave me stout, rooted stems from bushes in his own yard. My husband and I put them in the ground, and soon they started to grow. By early fall they bloomed profusely for weeks, never slowing down until the first hard freeze came. I was so afraid our latest dry spell was going to hamper the development of blooms for this

When I saw the buds, I kept saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to bloom until later, are they?â&#x20AC;? Milton has provided various kinds of flowers for his own family through the years. Many times he and his wife Betty have cut fresh flowers from their yard, and she has made arrangements for the church sanctuary, reminding me of my growing up days when the only bouquets in our church were flowers from membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yards and flower gardens.

Confederate emblem protested outside legislative conference

Now Milton has given me and several other friends, flowers while we live, â&#x20AC;&#x153;trying to cheer us on,â&#x20AC;? as the old song says beautiful fluďŹ&#x20AC;y pink blossoms that open up a light pink color in the morning and then slowly turn dark pink by the end of the day. The double blooms are so gorgeous, I want to just sit and watch them change shades of pink - but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too hot to do that! For several years I had watched these plants in other folksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; yards and admired the

JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Confederate battle emblem on the Mississippi flag is prompting protests at a regional legislative meeting. Lawmakers and staďŹ&#x20AC; members from 15 states are in Biloxi, Mississippi, for the Southern Legislative Conference annual meeting, which started Saturday and goes through Wednesday. Participants are discussing energy, public safety and other issues that cut across state lines. But most members of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus are boycotting the meeting because of the flag, and more than a dozen other people with a group called the Mississippi Rising Coalition protested the banner Saturday outside the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening reception in Gulfport. Mississippi has the last state flag with the Confederate emblem â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a red field topped by a blue tilted cross topped by 13 white stars. Critics see the symbol as a racist reminder of slavery and segregation, but supporters say it represents history and heritage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This demonstration is not a demonstration of black against white, white against black. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a demonstration of right against wrong,â&#x20AC;? said Curley Clark, president of a local NAACP chapter on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

He noted that black and white people were demonstrating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stand together against this racist flag,â&#x20AC;? Clark said on a video posted to Facebook by the Mississippi Rising Coalition. The Mississippi flag and other Confederate symbols have come under scrutiny since the June 2015 massacre of nine black worshippers at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. The man later convicted in the killings was an avowed white supremacist who had posed for photos holding the Confederate battle flag. All eight of Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public universities and several counties and cities, including Biloxi, have stopped flying the flag because of the Confederate emblem. Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn, a Republican, is chairman of the Southern Legislative Conference , and organizers expected about 1,300 people at the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting. Democratic Rep. Sonya Williams-Barnes, chairwoman of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus, said the caucus boycott was designed to put pressure on Gunn. Shortly after the Charleston killings, Gunn said the Confederate emblem is oďŹ&#x20AC;ensive and should be removed from the Mississippi flag. But he has also said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no consensus in the state House to make the change.

JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In light of U.S. Supreme Court decisions, Mississippi has been starting to set new sentences for people imprisoned to life without parole for crimes committed when they were juveniles. But some say the pace has been slow, with more than half of the 87 aďŹ&#x20AC;ected oďŹ&#x20AC;enders still waiting to be resentenced. Bureaucracy and lack of deadlines have been cited as problems. Mississippi doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a uniform way to handle the issue, with 82 counties grouped into 22 circuit court districts. Andreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; de Gruy, the state public defender, said that leaves a patchwork of approaches to handling the cases on already crowded court schedules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a serious problem in Mississippi because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an indigent defense system. We have indigent defense systems,â&#x20AC;? de Gruy said.

The U.S. Supreme Court said in 2012 that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unconstitutional to sentence juveniles to mandatory life without parole. Last year, the court said the ruling applied to the more than 2,000 inmates already serving such sentences nationwide and that all but the rare irredeemable juvenile oďŹ&#x20AC;ender should have a chance at parole. In Mississippi, 87 offenders were aďŹ&#x20AC;ected by the rulings, including two people with life sentences imposed in two killings. â&#x2013; 48 inmates are waiting to be resentenced, each in a single case. â&#x2013; One inmate awaits resentencing in two cases. â&#x2013; One inmate awaits resentencing in one case and has already been resentenced to life with the possibility of parole in another. â&#x2013; 27 have been resentenced to life with the possibility of parole. State law requires people to serve at least 10 years of a life sentence before being considered for parole.

â&#x2013; Seven have received new sentences of life without parole. â&#x2013; One was granted a retrial and acquitted. â&#x2013; One had his conviction reversed and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge. â&#x2013; One died before he could be resentenced. Among the seven who have received new sentences of life without parole is Stephen McGilberry. He was originally sentenced to death in the 1994 bludgeoning deaths of four relatives in their home in the coastal town of St. Martin when he was 16. His sentence was changed to life without parole after the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty for juveniles. After a hearing in 2016, a judge again sentenced McGilberry to life without parole, and that decision is on appeal to the state Supreme Court. The Mississippi Legislature has not set a uniform system for how resentencing should be handled.

His green thumb is obviously better than mine. â&#x20AC;Ś So as I enjoy what I consider to be early blooms on one of my Confederate/Cotton Rose Hibiscus bushes and anxiously wait for the other one to follow suit, I can say thanks again to Milton Davis, who made it possible for me to enjoy the â&#x20AC;&#x153;perpetual flowersâ&#x20AC;? that will keep on giving if I care for them properly.

is as simple and easy as rolling up your sleeve and making a fist. We say this a lot and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very original, but it is the unadulterated truth: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blood donors save livesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;every day,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Ates. Not only does giving blood save lives, it can now possibly lead to having a dream vehicle. All donors are automatically registered for a chance to win a new Ram 1500 Big Horn 4 X 4 truck in the Mississippi Blood Services Road to Life 9 Blood Drive when they donate blood now through Aug.18. MBS is joining with Mac Haik Flowood and Mac Haik Madison to give one lucky donor a brand new vehicle to be given away on Aug. 25. Visit the website at msblood.com for more information. According to MBS, donating blood is safe, simple and saves lives. Donors must be at least 16 years old (16 and 17-year-olds need signed parental consent, visit the MBS website for a copy of the form), weigh at least 110 pounds and have a valid ID.

We have had marketing reps and mobile services staďŹ&#x20AC; who set up blood drives at churches, schools, businesses and communities since we started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2004, we began to increase our marketing endeavors, letting people know we would be at a Walmart, Dollar General, Walgreens, etc., in their community before parking a Donor Coach in a high-traďŹ&#x192;c area, so we no longer rely on just being visible,â&#x20AC;? said Ates. Mississippi Blood Services is the only not-forprofit blood center headquartered in Mississippi. MBS supplies a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood products to Mississippi hospitals from the Tennessee line to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Mississippi Blood Services is Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood service.

JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With so many regulations concerning deer hunting in Mississippi, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising that hunters can become confused. Some of the questions raised recently stem from changes in the 2017-18 bag limits for antlerless deer while others have been around for years. Annual season bag limits for antlerless deer were reduced this season from five to three in the Delta, Northeast, East Central and Southwest zones. In the Southeast Zone, the bag limit for antlerless deer was reduced from one per day, not to exceed three per annual season, to one per day, not to exceed two per annual season. That change led to a hunter reaching out to Facebook users with the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is the cumulative limit on does if you hunt in Southeast and other zones?â&#x20AC;? Russ Walsh, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks executive wildlife director answered that and other questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The answer is three regardless of where you are in the state,â&#x20AC;? Walsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He could kill two in the Southeast Zone and one in another zone or two in another zone and one in the Southeast, but the bottom line is the statewide limit is three.â&#x20AC;? Another hunter asked on Facebook, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened to the no does on public land?â&#x20AC;? The new bag limits have cut back on doe harvests across the board and limited the opportunity to harvest them on public land. However, doe harvests on public land were not eliminated in the proposed changes nor in the final adopted version of the regulations for the coming season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can kill does on a national for-

est thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a WMA (wildlife management area),â&#x20AC;? Walsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s archery or youth gun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some WMAs where you can harvest does with a gun and some where you cannot. There are 28 WMAs that will allow antlerless harvest with a firearm, 22 that only allow it in archery and youth gun season, which is basically two weeks prior to gun season.â&#x20AC;? The harvest of does on open public lands, which includes national forest land that is not managed as a WMA, has been suspended except during archeryonly season and the special youth gun season. The bag limits are the same as the zone where the land is located. A change in primitive weapon seasons regulations that took place several years ago also seems to have caused some lingering confusion. During primitive weapon seasons after November 30, hunters on private land are allowed to use modern weapons if they choose. That left a hunter a hunter asking on social media why he was required to purchase a primitive weapon license if he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using a primitive weapon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not for the weapon itself, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the season,â&#x20AC;? Walsh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need that license if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a Sportsman License.â&#x20AC;? In other words, you are required to have a Sportsman License or a primitive weapon license to hunt during a primitive weapon season, regardless of what weapon you choose. Two other questions hunters frequently ask stem from misinformation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been circulating as long as some of us can remember and the first concerns a minimum caliber bullet for deer.

Peanut butter used in inmate jail break BY KIM CHANDLER Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A dozen inmates escaped from an Alabama jail by using peanut butter to change the numbers above a door and trick a new employee into opening another door that led outside, a sheriďŹ&#x20AC; said Monday. The inmates changed the number above a cell to the number that identified the door leading outside the jail. So when an inmate asked a young, inexperienced jailer to let him into his cell, the jailer was fooled into opening the outside door instead. The group then fled, throwing oďŹ&#x20AC; their orange uniforms and using blankets to climb over a fence topped with razor wire on Sunday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may sound crazy, but these people are crazy like a fox,â&#x20AC;? Walker County SheriďŹ&#x20AC; James Underwood said at a news conference in Jasper. Inmates â&#x20AC;&#x153;scheme all the time to con us and our employees at the jail,â&#x20AC;? Underwood added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to stay on your toes. This is one time we slipped up. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to make any excuses.â&#x20AC;? The sheriďŹ&#x20AC; said the inmates â&#x20AC;&#x153;went oďŹ&#x20AC; in ev-

ery direction,â&#x20AC;? but all but one were captured within eight hours, and the sheriďŹ&#x20AC; said he hoped the last prisoner would be back in custody by the end of the day Monday. The 11 were arrested without violence, and the only person seriously hurt was an inmate who sliced his thumb climbing over the fence, the sheriďŹ&#x20AC; said. The fugitives were between 18 and 30, facing charges ranging from disorderly conduct to attempted murder. A manhunt continued for the last fugitive, Bradley Andrew Kilpatrick, 24, of Cordova, who had been jailed on charges of possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia. That search was getting some airborne help from a state helicopter. Underwood estimated that the inmates had cleared the barbed wire fence in less than 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They took advantage of a young fellow that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been here very longâ&#x20AC;? and who had to monitor 150 inmates at a time, the sheriďŹ&#x20AC; said. They apparently saved peanut butter from food regularly served at the jail.

Why Live In Sin? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly (wicked), nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornfulâ&#x20AC;? (Psalms 1:1) How wonderful that the first word in Psalms is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessed.â&#x20AC;? We can add the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy.â&#x20AC;? It describes a joyful and contended state of existence one might refer to as bliss. Upon what does this delightful condition depend? First, deep and abiding joy is possible ONLY in a proper relationship with God. Many never consider their life sinful. When one begins to follow the wicked- those who use drugs, drinking, lying, stealing. Such a one has developed a relationship with the wicked. The Bible - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enter not into the path of the wicked and go not into the way of evil men.â&#x20AC;? (Proverbs 4:14). Second, whether one experiences blessedness is a matter of personal choice. Therefore, the answer to our problem of unhappiness will never be found by walking with the wicked. One must break away from such. Happiness and misery can be traced back to the fundamental choice of authority that guides our life. True happiness comes by loving God and abiding by His authority. The blessed man does not walk in the council of the ungodly, nor does he stand in the path of sinners, nor does he sit in the seat of the scornful. The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;ungodlyâ&#x20AC;? refers to a disrespectful attitude toward God and sacred things. The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;sinnerâ&#x20AC;? suggests that this improper attitude has advanced to active disobedience. The expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;scornfulâ&#x20AC;? indicates that the sinnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition has worsened to a state of hardened contempt. Note, how sin progresses. Satan keeps moving the sinner farther and farther away from God. The council of the ungodly speaks of the importance one places on the wicked manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. To walk in his council is to give weight to his advice and heed it. To stand in the path of sinners is to revere and emulate the example of one who practice evil. To sit in the seat of the scornful implies full fellowship with evildoers and conformity with their values (I Corinthians 6:15-17). But, man can walk with Christ and obey Christ. So, believe His Word, turn away from evil, confess His name - Baptism is for remission of sin. GOSPEL MEETING - AUGUST 27 - 30 Read Your Bible - Rom. 6: 1-6 - Welcome

Kelly in, Scaramucci out at WH BY JONATHAN LEMIRE AND CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Firmly taking charge in an unruly White House, former Gen. John Kelly moved in Monday as President Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new chief of staďŹ&#x20AC; and immediately made sure that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profanity-spouting new communications director was shown the door, ignominiously ousted after less than two weeks on the job. It was the latest head-snapping sequence of events at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but Trump dismissed any talk of disarray. He insisted in a morning tweet there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;No WH chaos,â&#x20AC;? then followed up in the evening with a satisfied â&#x20AC;&#x153;great day at the White House.â&#x20AC;? Aiming to instill some discipline in the White House, Kelly showed Anthony Scaramucci the door just days after the new communications director had unleashed an expletive-laced tirade against senior staďŹ&#x20AC; members that included vulgar broadsides at then-chief of staďŹ&#x20AC; Reince Priebus. In short order, Priebus was pushed aside and replaced

by Kelly, whose arrival led in turn to Scaramucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure. The communication directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure was the stuďŹ&#x20AC; of Shakespearian drama â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though brief enough to be just a morbid sonnet. Scaramucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exit underscored the challenges that Kelly, the former homeland security chief, faces in bringing order to a West Wing where a wide swath of aides have reported directly to the president, feeling free to walk into Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oval OďŹ&#x192;ce or buttonhole him in the hallway to lobby for conflicting agendas. Backstabbing among aides has been rife, and rival camps have jockeyed for position. And then there is president himself, who uses tweets at all hours to fling out new policy announcements, insult critics and even go after fellow Republicans who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toe his line. The ongoing investigation into Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meddling in the election is another source of unease. Monday night, The Washington Post reported that Trump himself had dictated the July 8 statement in which his son Donald Jr. described

a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer. The statement said Trump Jr. and other top figures in the Trump campaign â&#x20AC;&#x153;primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian childrenâ&#x20AC;? with the lawyer. Emails released later by Trump Jr. showed that the meeting was suggested to the Trump campaign as a means to deliver damaging material about Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election opponent, Hillary Clinton. The Associated Press has reported previously that Trump approved of the statement, which was crafted on the flight back from the Group of 20 summit in Germany in early July. On Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first day, the White House put out word that the retired four-star general had free rein to tighten the chain of command. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Kelly â&#x20AC;&#x153;has the full authority to carry out business as he sees fitâ&#x20AC;? and that all White House staďŹ&#x20AC;ers will report to him, including powerful aides such as Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Ivanka Trump, her husband, Jared Kushner, and chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Emily weakens to tropical depression BY TAMARA LUSH Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tropical Storm Emily weakened to a tropical depression Monday afternoon as it slogged eastward across the Florida peninsula, spreading drenching rains, causing power outages and leaving two fishermen to be

to a channel marker light after their boat sank. Coast Guard oďŹ&#x192;cials said they were called Monday morning about the two brothers, who had been out fishing when their boat engine died. While the brothers worked on the inoperable pump, the boat drifted and struck the range light, according to a Coast Guard statement. The brothers tied their boat oďŹ&#x20AC; to the light and were forced to cling to the navigation aid and call for help when the vessel sank. A boat from Coast Guard station St. Petersburg rescued the men. At 5 p.m. Monday, Emily was moving inland over west-central Florida about 30 miles northwest of Sebring in south-central Florida. Forecasters said Emily was expected to dump between 2 to 4 inches of rain in some areas, with isolated amounts up to 8 inches possible in spots. Lesser amounts were predicted elsewhere.

recently approved the first U.S.-regulated options exchange for bitcoin. The online exchange is expected to begin operations this fall. It will offer professional traders and financial institutions a chance to bet on or against bitcoin. Those firms could turn around and sell products based on the options to retail investors. Still, options – giving the right to buy or sell financial assets at a fixed price sometime in the future – carry risk. Regulators warn it’s possible to lose all your initial investment, or more.

Federal regulators have given the green light to a new options exchange for bitcoin, to be called LedgerX. The virtual currency has gained in popularity, but ways of buying and investing in it are fairly limited. Bitcoin, stored in encrypted digital wallets, lets people make purchases and exchange money without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties. About eight years old, it has been prone to wild price swings. On any day, bitcoin’s value can fluctuate by 20 percent or more. That makes it ideal for options.
