Tishomingo voters reject tourism tax Low turnout results in big rejection BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

IUKA — Tishomingo County voters on Tuesday soundly rejected a proposed tourism tax to be collected countywide on restaurant sales. Complete election returns show “for” votes totaling 672 (33.8 percent) and against votes totaling 1,316 (66.2 percent). The referendum needed 60 percent in favor to pass.

The Lawn Mower Pull, set for 7 p.m. Saturday at the Crossroads Arena fairgrounds, will feature multiple classes of all ages and more than 100 entries.

Alcorn County Fair gets underway BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Kids as young as five will take to the track this weekend at the Alcorn County Fair. “Some will be so small, there daddy will have to walk beside to help them reach the pedals,” said Kossuth promoter Lee Roy Marlar. “It’s definitely going to be a fun event for folks to come see.” Marlar is excited about the

return of the Lawn Mower Pull to the Crossroads Arena fairgrounds on Saturday night. Set for 4 p.m., the event will feature multiple classes of all ages and

more than 100 entries. Similar to a tractor pull where lawn mower drivers compete to see who can pull a weighted sled the farthest in a dirt field, Marlar said it’s a growing sport. “Everyone seems to want to give it a try,” he said. “I think that’s why we have some many more racers this year.” The hot-rodded lawn mowPlease see FAIR | 2

Turnout was 1,988, just 16 percent of the county’s active voters. It was a gray, rainy day as residents headed to the polls, and Circuit Clerk Donna Dill noted that just one item on the ballot tends to draw a low turnout. The 2 percent tax, which would have supported tourism promotion and projects for development of parks and recreation, would have been collected in addition to the 7 percent sales tax. A similar effort failed five years ago. Supporters of the tax felt there hadn’t been enough effort made to proPlease see TAX | 2

Woman dies after found unresponsive in jail cell Associated Press

A 29-year-old woman who was being held on shoplifting charge died after she was found unresponsive in the Alcorn County Jail. Media outlets reported that Alcorn County Jail employees did CPR on Bridget Marlar after she was found in her cell Aug. 27. She died Sept. 6 at Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth. Sheriff Ben Caldwell told The Associated Press on

Wednesday that Marlar had not been convicted. She was jailed about three days before being found unresponsive. An autopsy shows Marlar died of cardiopulmonary arrest, and Alcorn County Coroner Jay Jones said there was no evidence of foul play. He said results of toxicology tests could take several weeks. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is examining the case, which is standard practice for jail deaths.

Artist work: ‘South by Southwest’ BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

As she ponders the things that have moved her to paint, Ann Waller declares “South by Southwest” a fitting title for her work. Influenced by her native South and visits to the Southwest, recent works by the Booneville native and former Booneville art instructor are currently featured at the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery. Waller will visit Corinth for an opening reception at the gallery on Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. along with her husband Jeff, who will sign copies of his books. The ex-

hibit runs through Oct. 21. “Her paintings have a great deal of charm and character,” said Guild President Sonny Boatman. “There is a great variety in the subject matter because she and her husband have traveled widely.” The Wallers moved from Booneville a couple of years ago to Gulf Shores, Ala., after she wrapped up 33 years as an art instructor. She began her teaching career at Booneville. Please see EXHIBIT | 2

Pet Show comes to the fair BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Who has the prettiest pet? Alcorn County Fair organizers will find out at the Pet Show, one of the fair’s newest events, slated for Saturday inside the Crossroads Arena conference center. “This will be a great way to show off your pet,” said organizer Amanda Caldwell. “Everyone knows they have the greatest pet.

Now everyone else will see.” Entry fee is $5 per category or $10 for all categories. Categories of entry include prettiest pet, best dressed, best personality and cutest canine. All entries will also include supreme overall pet award judging. “We have some great prizes donated by Tanya Waton’s Pampered Pet Care and Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell,” said Caldwell.

Registration begins at 2:30 p.m. for the 3 p.m. event. All pets are welcome, including cats, dogs, turtles and goats. “The show will move quickly so the owners and pets don’t get ancy,” added Caldwell. (For more pet show information, contact Caldwell at 662-4150242. Visit alcornfair.com for full schedule of events.)

“I always wanted to come back and teach art in my hometown,” said Waller. “That dream came true for me.” She also taught in Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana, Tupelo, and at Northeast Mississippi Community College before completing her career at Tishomingo County High School. She was drawn to art at an early age. “I remember being in my grandmother’s house and walking around and drawing on the little sketch pads that she had, and seeing my first box of crayons,” said Waller. “It’s been about color ever since.” Inspired by light and color and influenced by the impressionists, she enjoys painting with acrylics unless using a palette knife, when she opts for oils. Vivid colors bring to life images of American Indians, rural scenery, a wild turkey, and a bird standing at the edge of deep ocean blues in just a few of the exhibited works. On the more whimsical side, Waller captures a still-wrapped Tootsie Pop on a large canvas in honor of “Kojak.” It is appropriately titled, “Who Loves You Baby?” Another captures the likeness of Sonny Boatman in the style of Van Gogh. “That’s the art history background that I have and teaching kids about art history,” she said. “I like to experiment with the different styles people in the past have used.” Signing the works simply with “A” is a statement of faith. On the back, each is inscribed “MGBG,” signifying “May God be glorified.” “I didn’t create the things that I’m seeing, and it makes it hard to put my name to it,” said Waller. She hopes others will enjoy her vision of the world, which she describes as “part observation, part

He has written several action/adventure novels and the Ty Chase series of western novellas. His first book, “The Twisted Mile,” was published in 1995. “It’s largely centered around Tupelo and Booneville,” he said. “The characters in most of my books are pretty much based in the South, in New Orleans or thereabouts, although the stories don’t necessarily take place there.” He is nearly finished with another called “Indestructible.” “My feeling has always been unless a story almost forces you to write it, if it’s not an obsession for the writer to write it, you are wasting your time and the reader’s time,” he said.

mote the benefits of a tourism tax during that effort, and a committee was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to disseminate information to the community. Supporters estimated annual funding would have been $80,000 for Iuka; $30,000 for Burnsville; $12,000 for Tishomingo; $10,000 for Golden; $58,000 for Belmont; and

$5,000 for Paden. An estimated $70,000 would have gone to projects outside municipal boundaries. The county has a 1 percent tax on hotels and motels that generated $22,668 in the 12-month period from July 2016 through June of this year. A number of Northeast Mississippi communities have special taxes in addition to sales tax, including Corinth, Booneville, Ripley and Baldwyn.

Correction Two errors appeared in the Alcorn School District’s student transfers story in Wednesday’s Daily Corinthian. The esitmated amount is $1.6 million the district loses per year from students who attend a school outside the Alcorn School District. The statement is incorrectly atributed to Superintendent of Education Larry B. Mitchell. The statement was made by board member Ann Little in Monday night’s school board meeting.

Today in History Today is Thursday, Sept. 14, the 257th day of 2017. There are 108 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On September 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem “Defence of Fort McHenry” (later “The Star-Spangled Banner”) after witnessing the American flag flying over the Maryland fort following a night of British naval bombardment during the War of 1812.

On this date In 1829, the Treaty of Adrianople was signed, ending war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Florida. In 1867, the first volume of “Das Kapital” by Karl Marx was published in Hamburg, Germany. In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, New York, of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin; Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him. In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice, France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in. In 1941, Vermont passed a resolution enabling its servicemen to receive wartime bonuses by declaring the U.S. to be in a state of armed conflict, giving rise to headlines that Vermont had “declared war on Germany.” In 1954, the Soviet Union detonated a 40-kiloton atomic test weapon. In 1975, Pope Paul VI declared Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton the first U.S.-born saint. In 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly actress Grace Kelly, died at age 52 of injuries from a car crash the day before; Lebanon’s presidentelect, Bashir Gemayel, was killed by a bomb. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, appeared together on radio and television to appeal for a “national crusade” against drug abuse. In 1991, the government of South Africa, the African National Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party signed a national peace pact. Ten years ago: Defense Secretary Robert Gates raised the possibility of cutting U.S. troop levels in Iraq to 100,000 by the end of 2008, well beyond the cuts President George W. Bush had approved.

Across the Region Booneville City plans no tax increase in 2017-18 budget BOONEVILLE — Booneville leaders are preparing to adopt a budget for the new fiscal year with no tax increase for residents. The budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year includes no change in the city’s current tax rate of 35.15 mills. Mayor Chris Lindley said he and the board of aldermen have worked hard to develop a budget that is both fiscally responsible and which addresses the needs of the city’s citizens. The budget includes a spending plan for both the city’s general fund revenue as well as a separate plan for revenue from the new tourism tax which is held, spent and accounted for separately from general fund revenues. The general fund budget includes to add three new fulltime firemen in order to reduce overtime and better staff the fire stations. The budget also includes funding to add three new fulltime police officers and purchase a new computer server for the police department. The new server is necessary due to the large amount of data that must be stored from the department’s body cameras and car cameras. An additional position will also be added in the city clerk’s office. Lindley said they plan to purchase a new fire truck in the coming year using funds received from the state fire rebate program. The city has been allowing those funds to build up for the past several years and now will be able to purchase a truck by paying $200,000 down, or approximately half of the cost and then financing the remainder to be paid back using the funds received each year from the rebate program. This will allow the new truck to be purchased with no use of funds from city taxes. The mayor said they are using a conservative estimate of $275,000 for revenue from the first year of the tourism tax to develop a budget for the funds which must be spent for parks and recreation and to promote tourism. While they expect the tax to generate significantly more than that figure, he said they wanted to be conservative with their figures for the first year of the funds. Voters approved the new 2 percent additional sales tax on food purchased in restaurants and on hotel rooms and the tax began being collected Sept. 1. Projects being planned for the coming fiscal year using the tourism tax monies include a second phase of construction to expand the splash pad at West Side Park and new basketball courts at East Side Park. They also are looking at potential improvements at several intersections downtown to match the significant improvements scheduled to begin in the coming months at six key intersections downtown and several sidewalks as part of a $750,000 grant approved for the city from the federal Transportation Alternative Program. The board of aldermen is scheduled to meet at noon

Friday in a special called meeting to give final approval to the budget. State law requires municipalities to approve budgets no later than Sept. 15.

Ecru

2 ex-city officials charged with embezzlement ECRU (AP) — Two former city officials in Mississippi have been arrested on embezzlement charges and issued demands to pay back nearly $400,000 in stolen funds. Local news outlets reported former Ecru police Chief Paul Martin Blaylock and former Ecru city clerk Gretchin Moody were arrested Tuesday and charged with embezzlement. They were also issued demands for $393,085.56, which includes interest and investigative costs. Ecru city officials noticed internal discrepancies and contacted the state auditor’s office. The office found that the funds were used to purchase more than 75 firearms, which were seized by the state and submitted as evidence in the case. Moody and Blaylock were jailed in the Pontotoc County Adult Detention Center under bond for $30,000 and $20,000, respectively.

fire departments. Firemen, law enforcement officers, EMS members and Air EVAC life team members will be standing at their service trucks and cars to meet and interact with visitors. Citizens will be able to ask questions and see personnel up close and personal. Jeter says it important to support local emergency departments just as they support us. “We’re not only doing all of this for a good time, but also to benefit our fire departments,” she says. This year’s festival will offer new and fun activities that evening. Starting at noon visitors will be able to enjoy a skeet shoot and at 4 p.m. there will be a lawnmower and ATV side pull. There will also be a Firefighter Rodeo where firemen will show what it takes physically to be a firefighter. The rodeo will open to the public afterwards. Live music will be played by Reverend Jessie and the Holy Smokes beginning by 7 p.m. In addition to those activities, there is also a barbecue competition. Though last year’s competition was strictly between the emergency departments, this year it will be open to the public. The emergency department that wins will be rewarded the competition trophy. This trophy will be passed on to a new winner each year. Public competitors will not be allowed to take home the trophy, but will have a chance to win cash instead. A plaque with the winner engraved will also hang inside the Ripley Main Street office on the square. The cost to enter is $250 and all meats will be provided by Ripley Main Street. There will be food for sale at the concession stand provided by the Pine Grove Archery Team and the Pine Grove SSA. A drawing for a chance to win one of two four-wheelers will also be held that day. Raffle tickets are available for purchase now at the Ripley Main Street office, any county fire station and at the sheriff’s office. Ripley Main Street would like to thank all sponsors and anyone who helped to make Sirens of Service a success.

TIPPAH COUNTY — Ripley Main Street will hold the second Sirens of Service Festival on Saturday at the Tippah County Sportsplex, reported the Southern Sentinel. Gates will open at 11 a.m. Main Street Director Jessica Jeter describes the event as a festival where citizens have opportunity to meet and interact with local law enforcement, local firefighters, emergency medical service members and the local Air EVAC life team. “Having a husband who is a volunteer firefighter here in Tippah County, I believe that it is very important that citizens have a chance to meet the men who sacrifice so much for us every single day,” said Jeter. The festival is an effort between Ripley Main Street, all county fire departments and the sheriff’s office. All of the profit gained from the event will be divided among the county’s

OXFORD — Beginning this week, the Oxford Police Department will have a more visible presence in downtown Oxford. The Daily Journal reported uniformed police officers will man a Safe Site tent nightly for patrons of the downtown entertainment district in front of Visit Oxford. The tent is designed to assist people who feel unsafe, need help finding transit home, would like an escort to their vehicle or require any police assistance. The Safe Site tent will be accessible Wednesday through Saturday evenings, starting at 8 p.m. and continuing until 45 minutes after the bars close. Safe Site is not a place to get a ride, but officials at the tent will assist patrons in finding one. Visit Oxford is located at 1013 Jackson Ave. East across from Funkys Pizza. The additional police presence follows a University of

Mississippi female student being picked up in the early morning hours last weekend and carried against her will to Panola County, where she was sexually assaulted.

UNA board to vote on $111 million budget FLORENCE, Ala. — The University of North Alabama Board of Trustees will vote next week on a proposed $111 million budget for the 2017-18 fiscal year after the proposal passed through the board’s finance committee Tuesday. The TimesDaily reported the full board will vote on the proposed budget Sept. 21 during its quarterly board meeting. The university’s fiscal year begins Oct. 1. Trustee Steve Pierce said the proposed budget has “very little wiggle room,” as expenditure growth has outpaced increases in revenue. The budget does not include a raise for employees. The university received a flat state appropriation from the Alabama Legislature for the coming year. Tuition and fees — estimated to be almost $59 million for the year — are UNA’s largest revenue source. The remaining revenue comes from a host of smaller sources such as housing, food service and athletics. The board approved a 4.9 percent tuition increase in June, but was told at the time by UNA Finance Officer Evan Thornton that would not be enough to balance the budget. “We know operational expenses go up, and when you are not getting any new money from the state, something has to give,” he said. “We also felt obligated not to put it on the back of the students.” The tuition increase generated about $1.4 million in additional revenue. Thornton said Tuesday the budgeted surplus -- a safety net the UNA board asked to be included going forward -- will drop from $1 million in last year’s budget to $250,000 in this year’s budget. The university also will leave a number of jobs unfilled for the year. Thornton said there are currently 22 vacant positions. Filling all of those would have cost $1.2 million, but only $550,000 of that amount has been budgeted for hirings. Thornton said the slots filled will be prioritized by need. UNA Provost Ross Alexander said he was “comfortable” with leaving posts unfilled. “If it were going to affect the quality (of education provided) I would not be comfortable,” Alexander said. Trustee Marty Abroms said the university also looks at expenditure controls -- such as leaving positions open -- when trying to balance the budget. The university will spend almost $46 million for salaries and wages and another $15 million for employee benefits. Those are the largest expenses for the coming year. Scholarships and fellowships -- $12.6 million -- is the third largest expense. Thornton said costs in the proposed budget were in-line with last year’s expenses.

Medicaid misspending a big concern The health care system is difficult to understand, and so is the insurance market. But state and federal agencies dealing with these matters have billions of dollars at their disposal and, hopefully, these funds will be put in the places that need it the most. Mississippi is one of the poorest states so it receives one of the highest percentages of federal Medicaid funding. But this year, the state recovered $8.6 million in misspent Medicaid funds. Let that number sink in for a moment. $8.6 million dollars. That’s enough to build 70 percent of the county’s proposed annex project. That’s about $2 million more than the county’s entire general fund budget for 2017. With that much money being misspent, we have to wonder, where is it going? How does the state recover it? And what effect does that have on health care providers when that money is taken back? While it is commendable the state was able to recover those funds, the misuse of funding shouldn’t have occurred in the first place. Health care administrators hold a lot of power, and so do federal and state agencies. That’s why it’s so important for checks and balances. With this amount of funding being misspent, it’s time for the private sector health care systems to get a grip on spending taxpayers’ money. While providing adequate health care to all is essential, it has to be done in the right ways to prevent further harm. The Picayune Item

Trump makes deft move on DACA BY DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

By now, it has occurred to President Donald Trump that if he lets Congress do what it wants, it will do nothing. Any legislation he proposes will end up DOA, a casualty of gridlock. Hence the brilliance of his DACA decision. If the Democrats don’t work constructively with the GOP to produce a real piece of legislation, the deadline of the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will force them into line. Facing the possible deportation of 800,000 of their constituents because of Democratic intransigence, the party will have to pull in its horns so as to not impale a divided Republican party. The entire Senate will have to work together with stellar bipartisanship to craft a solution. The Senate will function as it is supposed to. The solution will be very similar, in all likelihood, to the Gang of Eight proposal that was such a hot potato during the 2016 election. “Dreamers” will have to show that they have no criminal record, have not been on welfare, and have learned English to be able to stay. If Democrats balk at any of the GOP conditions, the default solution is 800,000 deportations. Conversely, with a solid Democratic Party supporting legislation to legitimize the “Dreamers,” enough RINO votes will be available to pass the legislation, whether or not conservatives come on board. These “Republicans in name only” will be motivated by a desire to get on the right side of history and not to incur the wrath of the immigrant community and its Latino vote share. The conservatives can satisfy their base by voting no without damage to the Party’s reputation. The Democrats will do the heavy lifting. At the same time, Trump skated on the tough question of how to deal with the DACA issue and stay faithful to his campaign pledges. He did just what he said he’d do. He overruled and repealed DACA. But he did so in a way that opens the door to a Republican courtship of the Latino vote. Deft move. Good move.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, wilt thou bring to my mind and heart the important things which are needed in preparing life. Help me to use the strength that is given to me for to-day, that I may not have to give to-morrow to learning what I should have known. Amen.

A verse to share Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. —Jude 1:21

Feinstein wages war on Christian judges

Seems that for Senator Dianne Feinstein, being a believing Catholic is enough to disqualify a candidate for a federal judgeship. Feinstein stated as such at confirmation hearings for Notre Dame law professor Amy Barrett, nominated by President Trump to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. “I think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma,” explained the Senator. “And I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern when you come to the big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country.” In follow-up clarification from Feinstein’s office, we learn that what’s foremost on the Senator’s mind is abortion. “Professor Barrett has argued that a judge’s faith should affect how they approach certain cases. Based on this Senator Feinstein questioned her if she could separate her views from the law, particularly regarding women’s reproductive rights.” But Professor Barrett is already on record, and

Star Parker Columnist

w i d e l y quoted, that a judge should recuse himself or herself when deliberating a case that conflicts with his or her religious

convictions. Most fundamental, however, is a judge’s willingness and ability to think clearly, rigorously and honestly. It is on this test -- clear, rigorous and honest thought -- we find the failure on the side of Senator Feinstein. How is it that religious principle is “dogma,” but left-wing doctrine, spontaneously emerging from the minds of men and women with certain political predispositions, is not? “Women’s reproductive rights”? Where does this come from? What exactly is the authority according to which we arrive to the conclusion, and codify into law, that a woman has a “right” to destroy her innocent unborn child? From what incontrovertible eternal truth does this absurdity emerge? I would put it, and Feinstein’s inquisition, more in the category of the famous

quote of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can only be maintained for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic, and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” We have arrived to a sad state of affairs where many falsehoods have been widely peddled in society at large and ultimately accepted as truths. And the process whereby this has occurred is frighteningly like the process described by Goebbels. Alleged “facts,” emerging from politically interested parties, are repeated over and over in the media, until these “facts” are widely accepted as truth and then preserved by suppressing dissent. After many years, many of these distortions have found their way into courtrooms and into law. Now liberals like Feinstein, after having succeed-

ed in re-writing much of our social script, and purging the biblically rooted truths that informed our law and replacing them with the premises of the secular humanism promoted on our college campuses, want to move forward with the rest of Goebbels’ program. They want to use the State to repress dialogue and dissent. In their view, a legal scholar who happens to believe that life is sacred, that to destroy life in the womb is murder, should be disqualified to be a federal judge. Is their opinion is the same regarding a legal scholar who happens to believe that marriage is a holy sacrament between a man and a woman? Senator Feinstein and company should be on notice that, despite their inclinations, America remains a free nation and still, in the eyes of many, a free nation under God. Far from being over, the cultural war is still going strong. Star Parker is an author and president of CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education. Contact her at www.urbancure. org.

The Schumer option is a dead end President Donald Trump is looking for a congressional leader he likes. Mitch McConnell has been found wanting, so now the president is flirting with Chuck Schumer. Trump sided with Schumer and Nancy Pelosi last week on an agreement to extend the debt ceiling for three months. The Republican leadership in Congress wanted a longer extension, worried that a short-term measure would give Democrats more leverage when it expires at the end of the year. The agreement -- plus Trump’s warm words about “Chuck and Nancy” and his reported delight over the positive press coverage of the deal -- has driven speculation that Trump will turn to the Democrats in a bipartisan “pivot.” If a partnership with Schumer is indeed Trump’s plan for a new phase in his presidency, he should think again. It makes sense that Trump is tempted. His frustration with congressional leadership is, from his perspective, understandable. These are the pros who told him when he showed up in Washing-

ton that they had a plan and that he needn’t worry. So far, there’s nothing to show Rich for it. Lowry Trump feels some National freedom to Review maneuver. He has a firmer grasp on Republican voters than anyone in Congress. If Republicans didn’t hate their own leaders, Trump never would have won the nomination or become president in the first place. Personal affinity surely plays a role. Trump speaks the language of his fellow outer-borough New Yorker Schumer more than Paul Ryan, the earnest policy wonk, or Mitch McConnell, the masterly tactician. Finally, Trump might believe that he can boost his sagging poll numbers by reminding people he’s a nonideological deal-maker and by getting things -- anything -- done. A Schumer alliance is, nonetheless, a siren song. The debt deal wasn’t really

a deal. It was a case where Trump could see some advantages -- securing Hurricane Harvey funding, gaining some breathing space for tax reform -- by simply giving in to Schumer and Pelosi. How often is that going to happen? Maybe there could be a deal over a codification of DACA, with Trump again largely deferring to Schumer and Pelosi, or some creative infrastructure package. But there are limits to what Ryan and McConnell, who have considerable legislative power, would be willing to bring to the floor; they aren’t going to shift to the left just because Trump does. And Schumer has his own priorities. He isn’t going to bless a “tax cut for the rich.” He’s not going to repeal Obamacare. He’s not going to fund the border wall. He’s not going to support the RAISE act, cutting levels of legal immigration. He’s not going to roll over on another conservative Supreme Court nominee. The idea that Trump, who has been too inept to help his own party in Congress, will team up with perhaps the most deviously shrewd

Democrat in the country and come out on top is difficult to credit. Schumer will milk Trump for whatever he can get -- every tactical advantage, every bit of new spending -- so long as he doesn’t give away anything important and doesn’t materially boost Trump’s political standing. The dalliance with Schumer comes in the midst of the Republican push for tax reform. It can only add another layer of distrust and dysfunction atop an alreadyfraught relationship with the GOP leadership at a time when it is grappling with an enormously complex legislative task. Indeed, the ultimate appeal to Trump of an alliance with Schumer must be the hope of escape from the chaos of his own governing style, which has been a drag on his own party. But there is no escape, whether Trump’s wingman is McConnell or Schumer, or, for that matter, Ted Cruz or Bernie Sanders. The Senate minority leader may look alluring now. Soon enough, he will be just as unsatisfactory in Trump’s eyes as nearly everyone else in Washington.

Initiative seeks to boost economy in Appalachia BY MICHAEL VIRTANEN Associated Press

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Four U.S. senators and the nonprofit Bipartisan Policy Center on Wednesday proposed 19 measures to boost the economy in Appalachia, including expanded broadband and telemedicine and tapping the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;vastâ&#x20AC;? natural gas reserves for chemical and advanced manufacturing facilities. The initiative is intended to help reverse struggles with poverty and isolation in the 13-state region where more than 25 million people live. Other proposals include investments in highways and community water systems and education options like Pell Grants for older, nontraditional students.

The senators involved are Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Mark Warner of Virginia and Republicans David Perdue of Georgia and Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Appalachia has been disproportionately hurt by economic shifts and declines in coal mining and traditional manufacturing, they said in a preface to the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the right investments and smart policy, we can benefit from the energy transition now underway, as well as build and modernize transportation, water and sewer, and broadband infrastructure for the next century,â&#x20AC;? Manchin said. West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania are now among the top 10 gas-producing states, the report said. It also noted the

mountainous regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for harnessing wind power, federal research underway to extract rare earth elements from coal byproducts and ongoing development of â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean coalâ&#x20AC;? carbon-capture technology that could be accelerated, commercialized and exported to nations like India and China. Access to skilled workers is one barrier to more job creation in Appalachia, according to the report. It called for expanding federal programs that facilitate business partnerships to establish pipelines of trained workers and identifying the barriers that keep existing businesses from using them. According to the report, national data show 65 to 70 percent of U.S. jobs require some

education and training beyond high school, while 35 percent require a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree at least. In Appalachia, 22.6 percent of its working-age people have those degrees, seven percentage points lower than the national average. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifelong education and worker training â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just to get a job but to hold one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are key building blocks for sustainable economic development,â&#x20AC;? Warner said. The report called for accelerated pathways from public schools to community and technical colleges and universities that align with the economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill demands. Noting there are many subregions within Appalachia, some that have transformed local economies, it recommended

Jackson schools takeover moves to state board BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest school district remains on a path to be taken over by the state. The state School Accreditation Commission voted Wednesday that the state Board of Education and Gov. Phil Bryant should declare an emergency in the 27,000-student Jackson district. The Board of Education is scheduled to take up the issue today. The 10-1 vote came after an hourslong hearing when state Department of Education officials told commission members that the district had key failings. Allegations against the district include seniors graduating without showing they met requirements, teachers providing ineffective instruction and schools bring unsafe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no point did the district demonstrate a sense of urgency to remedy deficiencies,â&#x20AC;? said Paula Vanderford, chief accountability officer for the Department of Education.

Interim Superintendent Freddrick Murray argues that some state allegations are false and others have been addressed. He and others argue Jackson should get more time to complete remaining fixes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we have a significant amount of work to do, but what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done in seven months is probably more than what was done in seven years,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. If the Jackson district is taken over, it could have a long stay under state control. A law enacted earlier this year by the Legislature suggests that any district with an academic rating of D or F should achieve a C rating for five consecutive years before the state returns it to local control. The Mississippi Department of Education has, in the past, struggled to improve academic performance in districts it takes over, although officials have suggested recent takeovers in Aberdeen and Tunica County have showed better results. Unlike in the past, a takeover would not affect athletic and other extra-

curricular activities. They eventually could be limited if state officials were to return later and revoke the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation. Jackson was on the verge of being taken over in 2012 because of special education violations, but the commission voted to give the district more time to fix problems. Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote came at the end of a long process of state oversight, which began with a limited investigative audit in 2016. After that inquiry found numerous violations, the accreditation commission put Jackson on probation and ordered an audit of all schools. The district fired its previous superintendent and started working to correct problems. But Murray argues that trying to correct problems while the state was looking for more violations makes work difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s akin to us building a house and having the final inspection done while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building the house,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. Vanderford, though, presented evidence say-

ing the district still hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made crucial fixes. The audit found that: n 149 of 1,404 graduates last year didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have required documents showing they passed all required classes and state tests. n New middle school and high school lesson plans written for the district by a contractor didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include needed information or plans to help students, and werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t followed by teachers. n In 16 schools, some classes visited by inspectors had no teaching going on, while students were so unruly in other classes that teachers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control them. n Teachers were often lecturing or handing out worksheets instead of tailoring teaching to each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. n 15 percent of nearly 2,000 teachers last year lacked valid teaching licenses or were teaching subjects outside their qualifications. Murray said many of the problems had been rectified but the department had not returned to inspect the corrections.

Ryan opens door to tax cuts adding to deficit Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Speaker Paul Ryan backed off months of promises that the Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tax plan wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballooning deficit, declaring Wednesday in an AP Newsmaker interview that the most important goal of an overhaul is economic growth. Asked twice whether he would insist the emerging tax plan wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pile more billions onto the $20 trillion national debt, Ryan passed up the chance to affirm that commitment. GOP leaders made that

â&#x20AC;&#x153;revenue neutralâ&#x20AC;? promise in a campaign manifesto last year and many times since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want pro-growth tax reform that will get the economy going, that will get people back to work, that will give middle-income taxpayers a tax cut and that will put American businesses in a better competitive playing field so that we keep American businesses in America,â&#x20AC;? the Wisconsin Republican told Associated Press reporters and editors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is more important than anything else.â&#x20AC;?

The pilot was launched with a $1,000 donation from county supervisor Tim Mitchell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two grants written â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one is with the ASPCA and the other is with PetSmart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that will add another $2,000 if we get those,â&#x20AC;? said Doehner.

More than 700 animals were spayed or neutered at the shelter last year in conjunction with Mississippi State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterinary program. With the potential to add 150 through ACSpay, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are starting to make progress,â&#x20AC;? said Doehner.

Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments signaling possible retreat on a core GOP commitment came amid quickening action on taxes, which Republicans view as their last, best chance to notch a significant accomplishment to take to voters in the 2018 midterm elections

following the collapse of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obamacareâ&#x20AC;? repeal drive. Yet even as President Donald Trump hunted for Democratic votes for a plan thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet taken shape, and GOP leaders laid out an aggressive timetable to lawmakers, significant hurdles remained.

More broadly, the report recommended more support and access to online training for growing industries and tax credits for companies to train and raise their employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skill levels. The three drivers of relatively poor health in Appalachia are chronic diseases, opioid addiction and shortages of health care professionals, the report said. It cited federal Appalachian Regional Commission support for health projects, called for better data and analysis on the effectiveness of treatments and interventions and â&#x20AC;&#x153;creative partnershipsâ&#x20AC;? among governments, nonprofits and private entities.

Across The State Associated Press

Police: Woman took taxi after robbery OCEAN SPRINGS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Mississippi woman accused of robbing a bank and fleeing in a taxi was arrested. News outlets reported 35-year-old Dominique R. Spears was arrested at her apartment after a Yellow Cab driver told police that he picked her up at a Wells Fargo Bank on Tuesday. Ocean Springs police Capt. William Jackson said the robbery was reported at 10:51 a.m. Responding officers received information that the suspect had left the scene in a taxicab. A traffic officer followed the taxi and witnessed the driver drop off Spears at the Reserve Apartments about 3 miles from the bank. Police arrested Spears on a robbery charge.

Police: Man carjacked truck, car BILOXI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man accused of stealing several vehicles in Mississippi and leading officers on a chase was arrested. News outlets reported 38-year-old Lowrey Roland Webster IV was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of carjacking and felony eluding. Webster is accused of stealing and abandoning a seafood truck. Authorities say Webster then forced an elderly couple from a Chrysler 300 and fled. Officers spotted him in the Chrysler and a chase ensued. Biloxi police Maj. Jim Adamo said Webster hit spikes that were placed on Interstate 110 and later abandoned the vehicle. Webster was apprehended by a K-9 unit and taken to a local hospital. His condition is unknown.

Insurance agent arrested for embezzlement JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Mississippi insurance agent was arrested for allegedly converting customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; premium payments for his own use. Attorney General Jim Hood said Tuesday that a Lamar County Grand Jury indicted 30-year-old Brian Hudson, of Sumrall, on two felony counts each of wire fraud and embezzlement and one misdemeanor count each of embezzlement and uttering forgery. Hoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, in a news release, said Hudson took more than $34,000 while he worked as an insurance agent. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also accused of changing customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mailing addresses without their permission in order to receive refund checks that he also allegedly converted for his own use.

8 die at Florida nursing home in Irmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweltering aftermath BY TIM REYNOLDS AND TERRY SPENCER Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eight patients at a sweltering nursing home died after Hurricane Irma knocked out the air conditioning, raising fears Wednesday about the safety of Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 million senior citizens amid power outages that could last for days. Hollywood Police Chief Tom Sanchez said investigators believe the deaths at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills were heatrelated, and added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The building has been sealed off and we are conducting a criminal investigation.â&#x20AC;? Gov. Rick Scott called on Florida emergency workers to immediately check on all nursing homes to make sure patients are safe, and he vowed to punish anyone found culpable in the deaths.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This situation is unfathomable,â&#x20AC;? he said. The home said in a statement that the hurricane had knocked out a transformer that powered the AC. The five women and three men ranged in age from 70 to 99. Exactly how the deaths happened was under investigation, with Sanchez saying authorities have not ruled anything out, including carbon monoxide poisoning from generators. He also said investigators will look into how many windows were open. Across the street from the stifling nursing home sat a fully airconditioned hospital, Memorial Regional. Broward County said the nursing home had alerted the county emergency operations center on Tuesday that it had lost power, but when asked if it had any medical needs or emergen-

cies, it did not request help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad state of affairs,â&#x20AC;? the police chief said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have elderly people in facilities, and we all know we depend on those people in those facilities to care for a vulnerable elderly population.â&#x20AC;? The deaths came as people trying to put their lives back together in hurricane-stricken Florida and beyond confronted a multitude of new hazards in the stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aftermath, including tree-clearing accidents and lethal generator fumes. Not counting the nursing home deaths, at least 17 people in Florida have died under Irma-related circumstances, and six more in South Carolina and Georgia, many of them well after the storm had passed. The death toll across the Caribbean stood at 38.

Ryan declares deporting young immigrants not in nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest BY JILL COLVIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday said deporting hundreds of thousands of young immigrants brought into the country illegally is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest,â&#x20AC;? as he and President Donald Trump prepared to huddle with top Democrats to try to hash out a legislative fix. Speaking in an AP Newsmaker interview, Ryan said he believes the president â&#x20AC;&#x153;made the right callâ&#x20AC;? when he an-

nounced he would give Congress six months to figure out what to do with former President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program before dismantling it. DACA has given nearly 800,000 young people protection from deportation and the right to work legally in the country. As part of that effort, Ryan will be meeting with the Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, on Wednesday evening, before Pelosi heads to

the White House for a dinner with Trump and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. The leaders were expected to discuss DACA, among issues, according to congressional aides and the White House. Trump also met with a group of moderate members of Congress from both parties Wednesday afternoon, where he urged them to come up with a bipartisan solution to protect DACA recipients, who have become known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dreamers.â&#x20AC;?

ROCKFORD, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A student who opened fire in a hallway at a Washington state high school killed a classmate who confronted him Wednesday and wounded three others before being stopped by a staff member, authorities said. The suspect, who a classmate described as being obsessed with previous school shootings, was taken into custody. The wounded victims were expected to survive, officials said. The shooter brought two weapons to Freeman High School in Rockford, south of Spokane, but the first one he tried to fire jammed, Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went to his next weapon,â&#x20AC;? Kzenovich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A student walked up to him, engaged him, and that student was shot. That student did not survive.â&#x20AC;? The sheriff said the shooter fired more rounds down the hallway, striking the other students, before a school staffer could stop him. Kzenovich called it a courageous act that prevented further bloodshed. Elisa Vigil, a 14-yearold freshman, told The Associated Press that she saw one male student shot in the head who janitors covered with a cloth and another female student wounded in the back. Authorities didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t release the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity or a possible motive. The victims also were not named. Luis Prito, an assistant football coach at Freeman High, called the shooting devastating.

Who will take home Emmys? A few predictions BY LYNN ELBER AND FRAZIER MOORE Associated Press

The winners will be named Sunday night when the 69th Emmy Awards are presented at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show will air at 7 p.m. Central on CBS. In the meantime, guesses will have to suffice. With that in mind, a pair of intrepid Associated Press television critics are going public with their picks for who will win — and who should. Will Jeffrey Tambor make it three Best Comedy Actor wins for his performance on “Transparent”? They say: yes and no. Will the distaff whodunit “Big Little Lies” fall to the splashy “Feud: Bette and Joan” for Best Limited Series? They say: No and yes. Here are their forecasts for seven major Emmy races:

Drama series • Lynn Elber says — Should win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.” A work of art so revelatory of our time should reign. • Will win: “The Crown.” It’s not just that Hollywood is filled with Anglophiles, although that’s one reason the lavish story of young Queen Elizabeth will win. Emmy voters also adore epic

sweep (see previous winner “Game of Thrones”) and this has it. • Frazier Moore says — Should win: “This Is Us.” Is this the gutsiest drama on TV? It dares to confront everyday, ordinary life — and makes it extraordinary. No wonder it touched hearts. • Will win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.” A classic novel from the past is transformed into a hauntingly up-to-the-minute cautionary tale. No wonder it touched nerves.

Comedy series • Elber says — Should win: “Atlanta.” A tour de force by creator and star Donald Glover epitomizing the small screen’s embrace of unexpected and challenging material. • Will win: “Veep.” Comedies keep winning streaks going, and with just two Emmys so far, it’s far behind the five top comedy trophies each that “Modern Family” and “Frasier” collected. • Moore says — Should win: “Master of None.” Moving even beyond the masterful first season, Year Two was a festival of inspired short films, with emotions and ideas supplementing its wit. • Will win: “Veep.” Despite a field of bright, new and varied candidates, voters will default to this plenty-rewarded, all-too-

seasoned Emmy mainstay.

Actor, drama series • Elber says — Should win: Sterling K. Brown (“This Is Us”). First among equals in an excellent cast, with a nuanced vulnerability that always keeps the heartbreak on the right side of soap opera. • Will win: Brown. His winning turn last year as determined O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden shows his versatility. Emmy voters get it. • Moore says — Should win: Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”). He’s so long overdue after five seasons of high intrigue and multiple personas in his role as a Russian spy masquerading as a 1980s American suburban dad!! • Will win: “This Is Us” stars Sterling K. Brown and Milo Ventimiglia will cancel out each other in the voting. That leaves lovably shifty Bob Odenkirk the winner after three consecutive nominations as the lead on “Better Call Saul.”

Actress, drama series • Elber says — Should win: Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”). The “Mad Men” curse never lifted for Moss as it did for Jon Hamm, but her subtly fierce portrayal of a woman caught in hell

shouldn’t be slighted. • Will win: Claire Foy (“The Crown”). A lovely and delicate turn, and playing British queens on the big screen worked for Judi Dench and Helen Mirren, the latter also nabbing an Emmy for the miniseries “Queen Elizabeth I.” • Moore says — Should win: Keri Russell (“The Americans”). She’s so long overdue after five seasons of high intrigue and multiple personas in her role as a Russian spy masquerading as a 1980s American suburban mom! • Will win: Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), passed over as a nominee seven times in the past for “Mad Men” and other great work. Voters realize it’s her turn.

Actor, comedy series • Elber says — Should win: Donald Glover (“Atlanta”). An auteur who has the magnetism of a star, but it can take time for voters to warm up to a new voice. • Will win: Jeffrey Tambor (“Transparent”). He’s brilliant, he’s won twice before and his transgender role makes a deeply affecting statement. • Moore says — Should win: Aziz Ansari. Previously known as a clever comic presence, he went

even further with this season’s “Master of None.” That extra credit should translate into an Emmy. • Will win: Donald Glover (“Atlanta”). A breakout talent with a fresh and deeply felt comic vision — who wouldn’t want to give this star an Emmy salute?

Actress, comedy series • Elber says — Should win: Tracee Ellis Ross (“black-ish”). Putting the indomitable Julia LouisDreyfus aside for argument’s sake, doesn’t Ross deserve respect for combining the rubber-faced charm of Lucille Ball with a modern woman’s spine of steel? • Will win: Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”). She is undeniably sublime, and it was announced that next season will be the political satire’s last. So, no stinting! • Moore says — Should win: So many overlooked funny ladies should be here: Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer of “Broad City.” Julie Klausner of “Difficult People.” Rashida Jones of “Angie Tribeca.” Sharon Horgan of “Catastrophe.” Sarah Jessica Parker of “Divorce.” Since they aren’t, and Ellie Kemper is, why not reward her for the gradually wisening naif she plays so irresistibly on “Unbreak-

able Kimmy Schmidt”? • Will win: Julia LouisDreyfus (“Veep”). Why would voters stop with five in a row?

Limited series • Elber says — Should win: “The Night Of.” As consuming as a truecrime documentary but with human frailty made indelible in this superb production. • Will win: “Big Little Lies.” It’s close between Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon’s addictive drama versus the juicy “Feud: Bette and Joan,” but Kidman and Witherspoon were also hands-on executive producers. Entrepreneurial women win. • Moore says — Should win: Edging out the equally deserving “Big Little Lies” in a photo finish: “The Night Of,” a dark and disturbing feast of storytelling, acting, pathos and suspense. Not a false note or a moment of relief. A masterpiece. • Will win: “Feud: Bette and Joan.” Flashy, lavish and blessed with bravura performances by Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange. Hooray for Hollywood! (Lynn Elber can be reached at lelber@ap.org and on Twitter at http:// twitter.com/lynnelber. Frazier Moore can be reached at fmoore@ ap.org.)

Age matters when it comes to screening for cervical cancer BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Getting checked for cervical cancer isn’t one-size-fitsall: Millions of women may soon have to decide between a routine Pap or a newer test that detects if they have a cancer-causing virus. Draft national guidelines released Tuesday for the first time say either option is reasonable for certain women — those ages 30 to 65. Paps, a mainstay for women’s health for decades, can spot pre-cancerous abnormalities in time to prevent cancer. Newer HPV tests detect the virus that causes nearly all of that cancer, and while they’re widely used to confirm Pap results, most U.S. medical groups haven’t yet pushed them as a stand-alone alternative for screening. Tuesday’s proposal doesn’t signal an imminent end to the Pap era. Paps, not HPV tests, still are recommended for screening women in

their 20s, stressed the guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. And don’t let the whichtest debate blur the main message: “Screening for cervical cancer saves lives,” said Task Force member Dr. Carol Mangione of the University of California, Los Angeles. Today, too many women still miss out. Some things to know:

Cervical cancer remains threat Cervical cancer has dropped dramatically over the past half-century thanks to Pap testing. Still, this year an estimated 12,820 U.S. women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer, and about 4,200 will die. Most haven’t been screened, or have gone too long between checks. Paps examine cells scraped from the cervix. HPV testing looks for high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus, the nation’s most common sexually transmitted infection. According

to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just about everyone will get at least one strain at some point in their lives. But only certain strains cause cervical cancer — and only if they linger long enough in the body.

Age matters for screening Otherwise healthy women need a Pap every three years from age 21 to 29, agree most U.S. physician groups and the draft Task Force guidelines. Cervical cancer grows so slowly that regular Paps can find a problem early enough to treat. While the Food and Drug Administration has approved an HPV test for women as young as 25, national guidelines have long recommended Pap screening for 20-somethings. That age group is most likely to get HPV — and the majority of the time their bodies clear the infection before it harms.

What changes at age 30? The older you get, the

greater the chance that an HPV infection is the yearslong, harmful kind. To better catch those cases, today what’s called co-testing is increasingly common for women 30 and over — a Pap-plusHPV test combination. If the results of both tests are negative, women can wait five years to test again. But both Paps and HPV testing can trigger false alarms, prompting unneeded, and sometimes harmful, additional care to rule out cancer. New studies show co-testing leads to more false alarms than either test alone, without adding benefit. That spurred Tuesday’s Task Force proposal to let women 30 and over choose an HPV test by itself every five years — or a Pap every three years instead. The proposal is open for public comment through Oct. 9, before it will be finalized. Some countries already are moving to make HPV testing the chief screening tool, including the Netherlands and Australia.

“Most experts in this area are in agreement that HPV testing alone is the future of cervical screening,” said Debbie Saslow of the American Cancer Society, who wasn’t involved with Tuesday’s draft guidelines.

Weigh pros and cons Women in their 30s and older need to discuss screening options with their health providers, said Dr. Jason Wright, gynecologic oncology chief at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, who also wasn’t involved with the new guidelines. An HPV test can cost twice as much as a $40 Pap, but doesn’t require screening as often. Some data suggest HPV testing leads to more diagnosis of risky pre-cancer — but even by itself, an HPV test can spark more false alarms than a Pap, Wright said. Also, some follow-up tests can alter the cervix in ways that may affect future pregnancies, a

consideration for women still interested in childbearing, added the Task Force’s Mangione.

Who can skip cervical cancer screening? It’s not recommended for women younger than 21, or those who had a cervix-removing hysterectomy. Women can stop screening after age 65 if proper checks until then show they’re healthy, current guidelines agree.

What if women received the HPV vaccine as an adolescent? Keep getting screened, following recommendations for your age. The first HPV vaccine hit the market about 10 years ago, too soon to know if it’s safe for the nowgrown first recipients to be screened less often, and newer vaccine versions protect against more strains, said Saslow, the cancer society’s senior director of HPV-related and women’s cancers.

Economists project that new consumer price data will show inflation edged higher last month. The Labor Department’s consumer price index, due out today, is expected to show a gain of 0.3 percent for August. That would follow a 0.1 percent gain in July, as higher costs for medical care and clothing offset declines for hotel stays and consumer cellphone plans. Both overall inflation and core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food costs, have risen an identical 1.7 percent over the past 12 months.

Dear Annie: My sister had a miscarriage this week, and I’m at a bit of a loss. I want to support her but fear that I am putting too much of a focus on it. I’m not sure whether I’m expecting a certain type of response unfairly from her — sadness, anger, frustration — but she seems to just want to move on. With the rest of our family, there’s a feeling of hopelessness all around, as we’re not sure how to be there for her and her husband. I was going to send them flowers and a sympathy card, but my other sister thought it could be too much of a reminder. I think a lot of the uncertainty of what to do stems from the topic of miscarriages being a bit taboo. However, I know they are more common than many think. I’ve known a few people who have experienced miscarriages, but it’s not always talked about openly. I’m not sure why they are viewed as shameful or a secret or something to hide. Annie, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. — Unsure in Ithaca Dear Unsure: I am so sorry for your sister’s loss. Tell her one time how very sorry you are for her loss and that you love her very much. Say it only once, and say it kindly

Dear Annie

and compassionately. Sending flowers would be a thoughtful gesture, and I would encourage you to do so if you are so inclined. Sadly, you are correct that miscarriages are common, occurring in roughly 15 out of every 100 pregnancies, and that it’s not something people talk about often. I think that silence is connected to a longheld (and erroneous) societal belief that a woman is somehow to blame for losing a pregnancy. But miscarriages shouldn’t be taboo at all. I, for one, would love to see a world where there is more support for women from women who have had miscarriages. We need to shore them up and recognize that their bodies were actually working perfectly. Dear Annie: I have a boyfriend, whom I love dearly. But one thing he does makes me crazy. He’s always commenting on other girls’ beauty. We will be watching TV, and he’ll say, “She is beautiful

and has a nice voice” or “She is really pretty but can’t act.” He tells me I’m beautiful, but I wouldn’t say the same things in his presence about men I see. I did that once so that he could see how it feels, but he keeps on doing it. I know guys talk this way to one another, and that’s fine. But I don’t know why he has to always say this to me. And sometimes it’s with facial expressions and hand gestures to indicate how “hot” she is. — A Secure Woman Feeling Uncomfortable Dear Secure Woman Feeling Uncomfortable: You could ask him to stop sharing these thoughts, but it wouldn’t stop him from having them. And I have a feeling that would start to nag at you, too, because you’d always wonder, “What’s he thinking about her?” The comments may annoy you less if you look at them as a sign of how open he feels with you. Not only does he think you’re gorgeous (and he tells you so); he also feels close enough to talk to you as a friend. Embrace that and you’ll feel even more secure.

Out On A Limb BY “POPPY” PIGSKIN The “Libertarian” continues to dominate the pickin’ panel with a second straight 12-1 mark, good enough to win the newspaper contest if he were eligible. When asked what he would do with the $25 if he had won, his reply was one for the ages: “Get a haircut.” The ‘ole shiner top takes a commanding three-game lead going into Week 3. His only miss was the Booneville loss. Just one game separates second place between “The Beave” and “Bee-ler,” with “Mo” not far behind. Kudos to the “Mean” man for being the only columnist to pick winner Saltillo.

Northeast players Damarius Ray (17) and Tre’Vas Chambers (92) keep East Central punter Drake Pace (40) from recovering a first half fumble during the Tigers’ 27-20 overtime home loss last Thursday. Northeast hosts No. 2-ranked, and threetime national champion, East Mississippi tonight at 6:30 in Booneville.

Northeast hosts nation’s No. 2 team Northeast Sports Information

BOONEVILLE — The Northeast Mississippi Community College football program looks to hit the refresh button as it enters the conference portion of its schedule with a big matchup. Northeast begins Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North Division play today by hosting East Mississippi Community College. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Tiger Stadium. The contest serves as Northeast’s annual White Out Game. Fans are encouraged to fill the bleachers well before the Tigers take the field and wear white to support the team. Those who cannot attend the matchup can watch it live and in high definition on NEMCCTV. Tune in starting at 6 p.m. for the pregame show by visiting www.nemcctv.com on any computer, smartphone or tablet. The Northeast Broadcasting Network also includes new radio affiliate WOWL Fun 91. An audio simulcast featuring Jody Presley and Carter Smith,

the Voices of the Tigers, can be heard on frequencies 91.9 FM from Burnsville, 92.9 FM from Florence, Alabama, and 102.3 FM from Killen, Alabama Search and follow @ NEMCCTigers on Twitter for live in-game updates and interact during the contests by using the hashtag #TigerPower across all social media platforms. Northeast fell in its two tuneup games prior to the start of division action by a combined 13 points against East Central Community College and Pearl River Community College. Greg Davis, who is now in his third season as commander of the Tigers, notes that his squad has not flinched even after the two close losses and some adversity in the form of injuries. “They’ve showed a lot of grit and determination,” he said. “There have been points where they could have gotten down and really given up. They didn’t do that and that was very important for me to see. “Overall, the kids have played extremely well. I couldn’t be

prouder of them than what I am. We’ve rallied together and put some things together offensively and defensively.” A mix-and-match could happen at quarterback for Northeast with both Desmond Hunter of Wilkinson County High School and Tupelo Christian Prepatory Academy graduate Caleb Kitchens expected to get playing time. Oxford’s Kenzie Phillips has certainly been the highlight on the offensive side of the pigskin for the Tigers (0-2). His 126.5 rushing yards per game rank second in the MACJC behind only Cameryn Brent of Holmes Community College. Phillips had the second 100plus yard performance of his career in the City of Hospitality one week ago against East Central. He now has eight touchdowns over his two years, including three as a sophomore. “Kenzie’s a guy that’s going to physically outwork anybody out on the field,” Davis said. “He’s not going to go down with one tackle. He’s going to keep churning those legs. It does not

shock me that he’s one of the leading rushers in the state.” O.D. Wooten from Hernando is the top wideout for Northeast with team-highs of seven receptions, 121 yards and one touchdown. Toreano Miner of New Orleans has six catches to his credit as well. DeSoto Central High School alumnus Peyton McMahon guides the Tigers on defense with 23 tackles. Freshman Juwan Taylor of Provine High School follows him closely with 19 stops. Kylin Washington of Fort Smith, Arkansas, has been stellar on the line with four tackles for loss, a pair of sacks and a forced fumble. Northeast is even in turnover margin through three games with two fumble recoveries and an interception by Philadelphia’s Johnathon Edwards.

Rebels aim to spark run game at California Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — Shea Patterson knows what it is like to play on the road. His debut came in front of over 100,000 people on the road against Texas A&M at Kyle Field, one of the rowdiest venues in college football. “Any type of SEC play is going to boost your confidence,” Patterson said. “It lets you gain

that experience, which makes you feel more comfortable. I feel very comfortable going on the road.” Ole Miss will travel over 2,000 miles for its first road bout of the season against a Cal team that is also 2-0. One thing that is always a helpful remedy when going on the road is the ability to run the football, something Ole Miss

has done with varying degrees of success so far in 2017. “I don’t think we have any trouble with the running game right now,” Patterson said. “We have an option to do quite a few things on every play. We will run for 200 in one game or pass for 200 in another. It just depends on what they give us.” What Patterson is referring to is the run-pass options that

are the backbone of offensive coordinator Phil Longo’s system. Nearly every snap the offense has the ability to hand it off or pull it back and throw the ball. It is largely dependent on Patterson’s reads, which have obviously good given the fact he’s thrown for over 900 yards in two games. It just Please see REBELS | 11

Linebackers account for four of the top five tacklers for the Lions (2-0). Ty’Ree Evans has a team-best 24 stops while Emanuel Bridges is next on the list with 16 takedowns. East Mississippi captured the yearly meeting between these two programs during the previous campaign by a 54-10 margin in Scooba. The Lions are also ahead in the all-time series by a 38-18 edge.

Patterson

REBELS CONTINUED FROM 10

seems as if the right read has been more pass-heavy so far, something that the opposing defense also factors into. Patterson is familiar with run-pass options dating back to high school. “I did it a lot in high school,” Patterson said. “It has been a really smooth transition.” What Patterson and the Rebel offense will have on their side is an in-house advantage in terms of personnel. Wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler spent the previous four seasons in Berkeley before taking the same job in Oxford. “He has a lot of good pointers about their personnel,” Patterson said. “I know they have a lot of athletes on offense.” Peeler was quick to share the knowledge. “I have kind of had my brain picked a little this week in terms of the players, personnel and how it can be used,” Peeler said. “What they’re good at and what they’re strengths and weaknesses are. I am just trying to help as much as I can.” Peeler’s services haven’t just been needed on the offensive side of the ball. Defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff joked on Monday that he was going to issue Peeler a subpoena to gain information on the Cal offense. Peeler gladly obliged since he recruited a variety of players at vari-

ous positions during his time there. “I had an area in the southeast so there are several offensive linemen and defensive players I recruited,” Peeler said. “There are a lot of kids over there I had relationships with and still do.” Cal lost running back Tre Watson for the season in its win over Weber State last week. Peeler weighed in on the impact of the loss for the Golden Bears. “He was a great leader and has played a lot of football,” Peeler said. “He brought a personality to that team. I think he will still bring that on the sideline, but he was a really good football player. He had very good ball skills and could catch the ball out of the backfield in terms of screens and being an extra receiver. I hate that for him because I know how hard he has worked the last few years.” When it is all said and done, these are two teams with high-powered offenses. A lot of points will be scored and Peeler’s wide receiver group will get another chance to shine as they have done in the first two games. The competition has been flipped up a notch now and Patterson believes they are up to the challenge. “They’ve got a lot of good receivers and a lot of good weapons,” Patterson said. “We are going to have to score points.”

UCLA could be without LBs at Memphis The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — UCLA will have to make adjustments for its road game at Memphis on Saturday, but preparing for a 9 a.m. Pacific start time could be the least of the 25th-ranked Bruins’ worries. The Bruins will be without linebacker Josh Woods for the first half because of a targeting penalty against Hawaii, while linebacker Kenny Young’s status is not clear after suffering a head injury in the 56-23 win over the Rainbow Warriors. Young was hurt on a helmet-to-helmet hit by Hawaii tight end Metuisela ’Unga in the first quarter. No targeting penalty was

called, and video replay did not review the play. The Pac-12 issued a statement Monday critiquing both non-calls. Pac-12 director of officiating David Coleman’s description of the play during the television broadcast was also rebuked. Sophomore Krys Barnes replaced Young and finished with a game-high 12 tackles. Redshirt freshman Breland Brandt is likely to get the start in place of Woods. “It’s just going to be next man up,” defensive coordinator Tom Bradley said. “We’ve got guys that have put their time in and now it’s their chance to play. We’ll line up with who-

ever is there, and hopefully they’ll do a great job.” Barnes and Brandt will have to help shore up a run defense that is allowing 6.31 yards per carry, worst among Power 5 teams and 124th in the FBS. “We’re still making too many mistakes,” Bradley said. “It usually comes down to when you get the big plays it’s missed tackles, bad angles, things of that nature.” Stopping the run will be critical as Tigers head coach Mike Norvell has experience against UCLA from his time as Arizona State’s offensive coordinator. In UCLA’s last game against Norvell in 2015, the Sun

Devils ran the ball 46 times for 192 yards and held the ball for 37:47 in a 38-23 win at the Rose Bowl. Bradley is leaning on films of Norvell’s previous teams as Memphis has played only one game this season. Their trip to UCF was postponed because of Hurricane Irma. Memphis rushed for 319 yards in a 37-29 win over LouisianaMonroe, but the season opener was played in driving rain that altered the game plan. “I’m sure they’ll have new wrinkles,” Bradley said. “I think each and every week everybody does. No one just comes out and plays us the same way.”
