Cotton House hotel opens in Cleveland

GIFT ENSURES FAULKNER ROWAN OAK

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

The Cotton House hummed and spoke the language of the South on the first weekend for the luxury hotel in downtown Cleveland. The Mississippi Writers Guild held a conference at the Grammy Museum Mississippi, one of several groups that will draw people to Cleveland with its 95-guestroom hotel. That gave the hotel a good launch with 90 percent occupancy, said General Manager James McAfee. Official occupancy began with a special celebration atop the five-story Marriott Tribute hotel at the Bar Fontaine. The Mississippi Writers Guild gave it a proper baptism with it conference at the Grammy Museum Mississippi called “Language, Lyrics and Legacies: The Rhythm of Writing,” featuring acclaimed novelist Michael Farris Smith and others. The humble name of hotel belies its quality. “It’s a luxury boutique hotel,” said McAfee on the first day of full operation. The $17.6 million hotel will welcome participants in the Cleveland Country Club annual Six-Man Scramble, and, on a serious side, from the Mississippi Coalition for Domestic Violence. The golf tourney players from the local club may not have stayed overnight in the hotel, but its two restaurants – the Delta Meat Market, serving Southern fare with locally sourced ingredients, and the rooftop Bar Fontaine proffering European-inspired small plates and cocktails. Both are run by James Beard Award semifinalist Chef Cole Ellis of Cleveland. The hotel will help Cleveland, home of

Previously, people drawn to the town overnight have had to ﬁnd lodging elsewhere, meaning lost income for the city. “It’s making us more of a destination,” said Judson Thigpen, executive director of the Cleveland/Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce. “With the two restaurants and the rooftop bar . .I think it’s going to be a hit with local folks as well,” Thigpen said. On hand since March during the leadup to the opening, McAfee said he is “absolutely thrilled” to be in charge of what he calls a “luxury boutique hotel.” McAfee has been with Marriott for 15 years, most recently as services director for the 345-guestroom Renaissance Hotel and

Spa in Montgomery, Ala. A bonus that the Marriott property offers is training and experience opportunity that is “tremendous” for those who might be interested in a hospitality career, McAfee said. The hotel is currently close to ﬁlled with employees, numbering about 100, though it is still taking applications, he said. The hotel has a curated art collection, paintings and photographs, that is basically composed of Delta and Mississippi artists and lends authentic ambiance. Cleveland is in the center of the region known for its history of huge plantations and the birthplace of the blues, which places it on the Blues Trail, which runs through Mississippi and other states in the South. And the Cotton House at 215 Cotton Row is in the hub of the region that spins around it.

William Faulkner’s desk, typewriter and day bed are still in the office of the late Nobel Prize-winning author’s Oxford home. One of his legions of fans is making sure that ambiance is preserved. – by making sure that all of the furnishings in the antebellum house remain as “ﬁxtures.” Sandra Miller Black’s recent $500,000 gift helped the University of Mississippi ensure that all of Faulkner’s furnishings would remain in the home. Faulkner’s house, which he named Rowan Oak in 1931, along with the outbuildings and land, was purchased by the university in 1974, but all furnishings remained the property of Faulkner’s extended family. “I can’t imagine that the university didn’t already own all of this furniture, and it was just a shock to me that it could leave, that they could just pick it up in a truck and take it away,” Black said in a news release. Black, an Ole Miss graduate, is married to John Black, a UM Foundation board member. Mrs. Black and a group of friends in 1989 began attending the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference, a celebration of the author’s work that draws hundreds of visitors to Oxford from all over the world. Annually, Rowan Oak draws upwards of 60,000 visitors from all 50 states and more than 50 foreign countries. Rowan Oak was built in 1844 and stands on some 29 acres just south of the Square and campus in Oxford. — MBJ Staff

Pine beetle infestation under control, Forest Service says By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com The southern pine beetle outbreak that destroyed thousands of pine stands in national forests in Mississippi in 2017 and 2018 apparently is under control, according to U.S. Forest Service officials. The Forest Service identiﬁed 23,000 beetle-infested acres in the state’s six national forests in 2017. There are 1.2 million acres in the six forests, including two the DeSoto, which is primarily longleaf pine, which is resistant to the beetle, and the Delta which is not a pine forest. The 2017 infestation was the worst outbreak in more than two decades, with more than 4,000 bug spots in the four affected forests. While the outbreak has primarily been on Forest Service lands, southern pine beetle activity has also occurred on non-Forest Service lands. “We have worked closely with adjacent landowners and county forestry associations and tried to prevent or minimize any impact to private lands,” Jim Meeker, an entomologist with the Forest Service, said in a prepared statement. “I’m really hopeful that this is the last year of outbreak conditions. However, we still need to continue with the ongoing suppression work where necessary,” Meeker said. The beetle, a native insect, is the most destructive forest pest in the South, both in economic and ecological impacts. In the absence of pine beetle suppression, large-

scale pine mortality occurs, destroying endangered species habitat, recreation opportunities, timber, and other property values. In recent surveys, forest workers identiﬁed about 100 small spots (an acre or less) in the Homochitto and Bienville Forests for cutting and removal of infested trees. There has been negligible activity in the Holly Springs and Tombigbee forests, officials said in a release. “Our plan is to increase the scale and pace of our restoration efforts in forest areas damaged by the southern pine beetle infestations,” said Carl Petrick, forest supervisor for the National Forests in Mississippi. “Ultimately, this will lead to healthier, more resilient forests that are made up of more species-appropriate tree stands.” Scientists believe there were several reasons for the severe outbreaks, including weather patterns favorable for beetle success (while hampering suppression efforts) over the last several years as well as an abundance of moderate to high density pine stands that are highly susceptible to infestation by the insect, and, lastly, the inability to conduct timely and comprehensive suppression measures in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Forest protection efforts have focused on a strategy where the infested trees are cut and removed as part of timber sales. In 2018, the forest sold 26 suppression/salvage sales accounting for 105 million board feet of timber. Cut and remove is the preferred and most effective measure to suppress the spread of the pest.

Late planting seen hitting yields of major row crops By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Late planting due to flooding will have a negative impact on yields of major row crops in Mississippi, according to Dr. Josh Maples, assistant agricultural economics professor at Mississippi State University. For example, only 55 percent of Mississippi cotton is currently setting bolls. The five-year average is 74 percent, Maples said, adding that soybeans setting pods are at 63 percent, compared with 71 percent a year ago. On the national level, the story is worse. Soybeans setting pods in Indiana is at 8 percent, Iowa at 13 percent, and Illinois at 14 percent setting pods, he said. The average is about 50 percent for those states at this time of year. Corn maturity across the country is similarly behind. Corn planting in Mississippi this year is approximately 590,000 acres, compared with 480,000 in 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Cotton planting this year in the state is put at 700,000 acres, compared with 620,000 in 2108, according to a preliminary USDA report. The Delta flooding has been called the worst since the catastrophic deluge of 1927.

About 250,000 acres of cropland were flooded in the spring, about 9 percent of the arable land in the 4.4 million-acre Delta, Maples said in an early-June interview. The Delta – a vast, incredibly fertile alluvial plain – accounts for about 75 percent of the state’s total acreage planted in soybeans, cotton, rice and corn, he said. A major issue in the flooding is the fact that the southern part of the Delta has had to basically just live with it. Pumps that had been proposed to draw the water off and into the Mississippi River were blocked in 2008 by the Environmental Protection Agency because of concerns of damaging wetland ecosystems. The hue and cry in favor of renewing the pumps project were reflected last week when two Mississippi Republicans, U.S. Sens. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker, introduced a bill to restore the project. The Flood Reduction, Wildlife Habitat, and Water Quality Improvement Act would amend the Clean Water Act to prohibit EPA from vetoing a Corps of Engineers flood control project specifically authorized by Congress. A recent opinion piece by spokespersons for the Mississippi chapters of the Audubon Society and Sierra Club pub-

lished in the Clarion Ledger questioned the effectiveness of the project, contending that the pumping system would remove only 32 percent of the backwater. Also, the opinion piece argued that “the project is not designed communities from flooding. [Eighty] percent of project benefits would be for agriculture” by draining “tens of thousands acres of wetlands.” The project is the last unconstructed feature of a 77-year flood control effort in the Lower Mississippi Valley, the senators state in a news release. Meantime, the final report from the USDA on planting figures is expected to be released on Aug. 12, Maples said. There are likely to be record levels of prevented-planting acreage this year, Maples said. The preliminary USDA report, which was released June 28, shows soybean planting in Mississippi at 1.95 million acres, down from 2.23 million in 2018. The report shows that nationwide planting of soybeans to be 80 million acres. down roughly 10 percent. Another assault on farmers are Chinese tariffs on soybeans and other agricultural products – including pork, a mainstay of the diet in China, which has been slammed by porcine fever that has decimated herds. The tariffs imposed by the communist nation are in response to tariffs placed by the United States on steel and aluminum from that country. Meantime, the federal government has granted $28 billion in two waves to bail out the besieged farmers.

EDUCATION

Tupelo schools and Itawamba CC form ‘middle college’ Itawamba Community College and Tupelo Public School District have formed a “middle college” that will allow students to graduate with a secondary school diploma and a twoyear associate degree. Starting in August, some Tupelo High juniors will attend classes at the ICC Tupelo campus for the majority of the school day while taking classes at THS. “This is a great opportunity for our students to get ahead and graduate high school with two years of college under their belts,” said Superintendent Dr. Rob Picou, who implemented a similar program in Alaska. “The Middle College isn’t designed for every student, but for those who qualify, it’s the perfect model to graduate high school and enter college as a junior.” To participate, a student must be a junior with a minimum of 14 core Carnegie unit credits, including completion of Algebra II, and in good academic standing with a minimum 3.0 GPA. They must score at least a 17 ACT score in English language arts and a 19 ACT score in math. Associate of arts and associate of applied science degrees will be granted. For more information about the college, contact counselor Tyler Philley at jtphilley@ tupeloschools.com or 662-841-8970. — MBJ Staff

Cracking the code on computer science education in Mississippi

uring World War II, an elite group of Navajos called the “code talkers” used their Native American language, which was unwritten and complex, to help transmit top-secret military information. Code talkers helped the Allies gain an important victory in the Paciﬁc Theater. Fast forward to today and coding means something dramatically different, but just as important. Computer coding and programming are the foundation and the building blocks of our society and economy in the 21st century. That’s why, after experiencing rapid disruption and change for more than two decades at the helm of C Spire, I am helping lead the charge for more computer science education and opportunities in Mississippi. Technology waits for no one and changes more often than President Trump’s Twitter feed.

I used carbon paper and white-out when I typed my college essays - so I may be the least likely champion of computer science education. Today, STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering and math, is the word you’ll hear most often when teachers, parents and students discuss imperatives for education and jobs in the 21st century digital economy. As an upstart in the nascent wireless industry in 1988, our company embraced technology innovation as a pillar of our success. Increasingly, we realized that solid engineering and software development were not only driving our industry, but the rest of the national economy. We have observed that almost every industry has become technology driven and have learned that a tech savvy workforce is a must. Mississippi has 1,144 unﬁlled computing jobs today. These are high-paying jobs

with an average salary over $70,000 a year. That’s over an $80 million opportunity for our state’s economy annually. The demand for technological and computing jobs are estimated to grow at twice the rate of all other U.S. jobs. It’s imperative that Mississippi build a skilled workforce in computer science who can lead the way in today’s digital economy. How do we get there? It starts with our youth and what they are studying in school right now. With less than 18 percent of public high schools teaching computer science, C Spire is spreading awareness of this need and working with inﬂuencers in education to move the needle. Through coding challenges, humanoid robotic experiences, coding academies and public-private partnerships, we are exposing today’s youth to the amazing things they can accomplish

through technology. The opportunity is ripe! We encourage parents, educators, government officials and business leaders to seize the moment to take advantage of this great Hu Meena opportunity. If not us, who? If not now, when?

Cal-Maine records net loss of $19.8 million for quarter By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com Cal-Maine Foods Inc. reported a net loss of $19.8 million, or 41 cents per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 ending June 1, compared with a net income of $71.8 million, or $1.48 per share, for the year-ago period. According to Bloomberg news, the U.S. egg industry has an oversupply issue, and prices are so unprofitable that Cal-Maine, the biggest U.S. producer, posted its first net loss in six quarters. But prices may be near, if not at, their lowest. Producers are losing money, and that’s going to force farms to make adjustments and shrink output, Cal-Maine’s Chief Financial Officer Max Bowman told Bloomberg.

“The market has got to react,” he said, adding that such low prices can’t go on long. “Hopefully, we’ve found a bottom, and we’ll begin to pick up a bit.” Cal-Maine stocks are near their lowest point in the past 52 weeks, which ranged from $36.65 to $51.55. The stock closed at $39.49 Tuesday on the NasdaqGS market, down 45 cents., according to Yahoo Finance. Net sales for the quarter were $280.6 million, a 36.7 percent decrease, compared with $443.1 million for the fourth quarter of ﬁscal 2018. Dolph Baker, chairman and chief executive officer of Jackson-based Cal-Maine, the nation’s largest producer of in-shell eggs, said in a release: “The average market price in the Southeast for conventional eggs dropped 52 percent for the fourth quarter

of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and was down 17.1 percent for the year. For the fiscal year, net sales were $1,361.2 million compared with $1,502.9 million for fiscal 2018. The company reported net income of $54.2 million, or $1.12 per share, for fiscal 2019, compared to net income of $125.9 million, or $2.60 per share for the prior fiscal year. Fiscal 2018 benefited by a $43 million, or 89 cents per share, tax benefit related to the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the subsequent revaluation of the company’s deferred tax liabilities at the new, lower corporate tax rate. The fiscal 2018 results also include an after-tax charge of $54.8 million, or $1.13 per share, related to the settlement of previously disclosed antitrust litigation. Baker said: “The USDA reported a near

record high 341.5 million hens as of April 1, 2019. While the hen numbers as of the June 2019 USDA report were down seasonally to 331.5 million, that level still represents approximately 2.9 million more hens than a year ago. The supply issue has been further pressured by a more productive ﬂock.” Specialty eggs, excluding co-pack sales, accounted for 23.3 percent of sales volumes for the fourth quarter, compared with 25.5 percent a year ago. However, specialty egg revenue was 41.9 percent of total shell egg revenue, compared with 29 percent for the fourth quarter of ﬁscal 2018. The company is investing $187 million in facilities for production of nonconventional eggs, primarily free-range. Because of the net income loss, the company will not pay a quarterly dividend.

Bonnet Carre Spillway shut down as river falls below ﬂood stage By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently completed the shutdown of the Bonnet Carre Spillway north of New Orleans, starting a process that will lead to the return of normal saltwater conditions in the Mississippi Sound. The river at New Orleans fell below flood stage allowing the shutdown. The return to normalcy in the Sound will take a minimum of two to four weeks, without factoring in winds, which can speed up or slow down the process, depending on direction, according to Dr. Monty Graham, director of the Marine Research Center at the University of Southern Mississippi. The process may even produce fish kills, said Graham. That may lead some to conclude that the cause is toxicity, but the cause in such cases would be hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, he said. The influx of fresh water diverted from the swollen Mississippi River through Lake Pontchartrain and into the waters between the Mississippi Coast and the Barrier Islands has devastated commercial and recreational fishing in the Sound as well as tourism, which amounts to about $2 billion annually in the three coastal counties. The islands, which are managed by the National Park Service, have not been under an advisory. Record flooding on the river, which has inundated about 250,000 agricultural acres in the Mississippi Delta, led to the unprecedented downstream use of the spillway to protect New Orleans. All beaches along the Mississippi Coast have been, in effect, closed because the Mississippi Department of

The Bonnet Carre had been open for a record length of time.

Environmental Quality has said the near-shore water can be harmful to humans because of the occurrence of algal bloom, which can cause rashes, vomiting and diarrhea. The Department of Marine Resources has recently said that testing shows that seafood caught near shore is not harmful to eat, urging, however, that fishermen use caution and not cast their bait in the potentially harmful algal bloom, caused by the freshwater infusion. Recovery of aspects of the seafood industry is going to take years to recover, Graham said, citing the oysters, whose beds have been virtually destroyed by the fresh water. He said the shrimp industry, which, according to the Department of Marine Resources, over the past five years have yielded 2 million pounds in June, compared with about 500,000 pounds this June, should recover much quicker. U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith and Gov. Phil Bryant have asked for federal aid for the fish industry in Mississippi waters.

Sixteen Mississippi restaurants have received 2019 awards from Wine Spectator magazine. The respected journal has three levels of awards, in descending order, Grand Award, Best of Award of Excellence, and Award of Excellence. Three of the Mississippi restaurants received the Best Award of Excellence – CAET, which recently moved from Fondren to the Renaissance at Colony Park in Ridgeland, Koestler Prime, also located in the Renaissance, and Thirty-Two in Biloxi.

Lobaki closes financing through North Mississippi Angel Fund Lobaki, Inc., the Jackson-based virtual-reality firm, has closed the first part of a $2 million round of financing led by the North Mississippi Angel Fund. “We met with the North Mississippi Angel Fund in Columbus and had a really good experience with them. All the members are very experienced and successful in their own businesses and are just the type of local investors we need with their wealth of knowledge,” said Vince Jordan, co-founder of Lobaki, Inc. “In turn, they were very interested in Lobaki because of the extremely high rate of growth in the virtual reality industry—and the absence of any capable providers here in the South. They have invested over a half million dollars in Lobaki and may invest more in the future.” Tony Jeff, president and CEO of Innovate Mississippi, said it is rewarding to see investors and entrepreneurs coming together in Mississippi. “This is particularly exciting because it’s being done through the first regional angel fund. We are working to establish funds statewide, where the fund managers can do the diligence and paperwork, then individual accredited investors can get involved quickly and easily,” he said. “This is exactly how it’s supposed to work.” Lobaki, which employs designers to create 3-D virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) “worlds” in software, has grown quickly since relocating to downtown Jackson in 2018. VR has immediate applications in healthcare, education, military and corporate training, Jordan said. For instance, the company announced this spring that it is working with the University of Mississippi Medical Center on a concussion training protocol that uses VR applications to help heal injured athletes. In another example, Lobaki has been working on a pilot program for Entergy Mississippi that allows utility workers to begin training for dangerous duties in the safety of a VR headset. Jordan said that interest in VR and AR from corporations and institutions is heating up fast. “This investment will almost exclusively be about getting more folks on board for development,” Jordan said. “The company has a substantial backlog of projects; we will bring on more help to build more virtual-reality experiences especially for our healthcare and industry clients. Most companies at this stage are looking to expand sales, but we need to expand production.” Lobaki’s founders are also involved in the non-profit Lobaki Foundation, which runs the Lobaki XR Academies, where people seeking new career skills can learn to use the software tools to design and build VR objects and worlds. The bottom line is that this is a great example of the Mississippi investor community putting money into high-tech job growth,” Jeff said. “We’re really proud of everyone involved.”

As WBA Architecture celebrates its tenth anniversary this month, the partners of the Jackson-based architecture firm announce the opening of a new office in Nashville. “We are thrilled about having a presence in Nashville,” says Eric Whitfield, partner. “We instantly fell in love with the city, the people, and the vibrancy here. We are excited to do our part in the growth of this city.” In August 2009, in the midst of the U.S. economic crisis, Jamie Wier and Michael Boerner took a risk and officially opened Wier Boerner Architecture PLLC. Despite the hurdle of a major recession, business grew at a substantial rate. With the added partnership of former college classmate Jack Allin in May of 2014, the firm changed its name to Wier Boerner Allin Architecture. Over the course of a decade, WBA Architecture has grown to a staff of 25 professionals and, now, two offices. WBA’s Tennessee headquarters is located at 1410 51st Avenue, Nashville. — MBJ Staff & Wire Reports

FCCI: A commitment to communities and people

ecently, I talked with Tiffany Hawkins, Regional Vice President for FCCI’s Gulf Coast region, to get an overview of the company and how it has grown through the years. As one of the region’s larger commercial insurers, with over $2.4 billion in assets, FCCI works through a network of agencies that are grounded and committed to their communities and clients. “Our company was originally founded in Florida,” she explained. “We began with a focus on worker’s comp coverage, as our founders were contractors who were unable to secure worker’s comp coverage through other sources and therefore, Hawkins banded together to provide their own.” From that beginning, FCCI has grown to deliver commercial insurance to small and large business clients alike, including worker’s comp, liability, property, and auto. The mission, as Hawkins deﬁned it, it to “deliver quality commerical insurance products with outstanding customer service to our agents and customers.” She also talked about the company’s total commitment to integrity in its relationships with agents and customers, and a strong commitment to supporting communities. These commitments have helped

FCCI grow from a company doing business in one state (Florida) to having a business presence in 22 states. I asked Hawkins what sorts of things set them apart from others? “I truly believe we have the best people in the business, people who are totally

FCCI » Founded 1959 » Regional office: Ridgeland » Does business in: 19 states » Employees company-wide: 855; 72 in Gulf Coast region » Key personnel: Tiffany Hawkins, Regional VP / Gulf Coast; Trey Stone, AVP, Business Development; Carol Mason, State Director / Mississippi

committed to our mission,” she said. “We think of our agents as our #1 customers, and we are always dedicated to providing prompt service. Our ﬁnancial strength is important to our agents and customers, as is our integrity in doing what we say we’ll do.” Among other things, FCCI grants ev-

ery employee a number of hours in which the employee can work on a community support activity. “Our folks get involved in all sorts of things,” she said. “And Alan Turner we’re very proud of that.” FCCI is an A-rated company by A.M. Best, and proud of its fiscal strength and market position. Hawkins told me she literally grew up with the understanding that insurance would be her career. “As a kid, I played at being an insurance agent. I grew up in NW Mississippi and went to Ole Miss, where I got my degree in Insurance Risk Management. From there, I served as a surety underwriter for several companies, finally coming back to Mississippi to work for Traveler’s. Then I joined in FCCI in 2012 as a Marketing Underwriter, and then grew in my role as a State Director, and finally, I was appointed Regional Vice President when my predecessor retired.” She is clearly passionate about her business, her company, her people, and the agents and customers she serves. “I couldn’t imagine ever doing anything else,” she said. “I feel very fortunate that I always knew what I wanted to do in my career, and then be fortunate enough to actually do it.” She believes that insurance is a wonderful career for young people to consider, as “there are many opportunities for growth and advancement”. I asked her how she sees the business and economic climate in Mississippi and the rest of the Gulf Coast region. “Right now, things are very positive,” she said. “We’re fortunate that most of the states in our region are very supportive of business, and Mississippi in particular has shown a very pro-business outlook that is very refreshing.” What’s the outlook for FCCI in the coming years? “As we celebrate 60 years this year, it is important to us continue to be an entity rooted in integrity and adhere to our core values and always doing what we say we will do,” she said. Hawkins lives in Gluckstadt with her husband and two daughters. Contact Mississippi Business Journal publisher Alan Turner at alan.turner@msbusiness.com or (601) 364-1021.

Mississippi Coast Coliseum closer to having hotel The Mississippi Coast Coliseum and Convention Center could have a hotel operating on its Biloxi beachfront property as early as the fall of 2021. Mississippi news outlets report that the Harrison County Board of Supervisors on Monday approved a 99-year lease between the Coliseum Commission and a developer. The 150-room hotel would be under the Marriott ﬂag. Coast Coliseum officials have for years been talking about the need to build a hotel on the property to make the facility more competitive in attracting meetings.

he calendar may still reﬂect summertime but, for many students, today marks the beginning of a new school year in Northeast Mississippi. By the end of next week, students will have joined teachers who have been working to prepare their classrooms and themselves for a new learning year. Superintendents and principals have been developing plans that provide students with a path to academic success within a supportive atmosphere. The amount of interest and participation shown by parents during the school year can determine just how successful the students and teachers will be between now and next spring. At the end of the day, we all must work together to keep children on the right path in their education. The focus of a good education is to not only teach the skills needed to continue learning, but to instill the drive to pursue new things through innovation, creativity and perseverance. Teachers help students rise to the challenge of higher expectations and provide support and tools, making lasting contributions to students’ lives. We acknowledge the task that teachers accept with each academic year as they play a critical role in educating and shaping our communities’ children. They are the hard-working, dedicated professionals to whom children are entrusted, affecting their lives on a daily basis. Much emphasis today is on learning the hard skills necessary to excel in a certain profession after graduation, but it’s important to remember that the foundations for students’ social skills, self-esteem and insight into the world begin in the younger years as children gain knowledge at the hands of a good teacher. Teaching students information in a way that they will remember and put to use is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give. Teachers encourage students to understand the importance of dedicating themselves to whatever endeavors they choose and that success is a foundation for future success. The more students push themselves to accomplish goals, the more they will realize their capabilities. The start of the school year offers a clean slate and a fresh start to the work of ensuring a student’s academic success. The ﬁrst few days and weeks of school often set the tone for the entire school year. As members of our communities, we should commit to supporting our students, teachers and school leaders in the coming year. Schools need our support in order to build a stronger future for our students, our workforce, and our area. Now it’s time once again for a new academic year – we hope it’s a great one for students, parents, and school personnel.

he day before election days harried politicians scurry to and fro making last-minute connections and headlines to squeeze out those last few votes. The ﬁrst “day before” this year for Mississippi elections landed on August 5. That is also the birthday of a Mississippi politician who seldom had to scurry for last minute votes. The late Congressman G.V. “Sonny’”Montgomery would have turned 99 this year. That’s also about the margin of his tightest race, his 1955 election to the Mississippi State Senate over then Lauderdale County School Principal Donald Williamson. In remembering Sonny, the stark contrast between him and today’s state and national politicians stands out. Aggressive partisanship embraced today casts those from the other party as enemies. Sonny was above partisanship, seeing others as potential allies. Indeed, Sonny worked tirelessly to unite, not divide. Former Senate Majority Leader and Republican Senator Trent Lott said at Sonny’s 2006 memorial service, “A long-time Democrat, Sonny was truly above party. And no one, on either side of the aisle, ever questioned his sincerity, his integrity, or his independence. A loyal son

of Mississippi, one of ours, from his birth to his passing, he really belonged to the nation. For BILL CRAWFORD although he saw things from the wisdom and experience of Mississippi’s people, what he always looked out for was the national good.” Hmmm. “Above party … national good,” attributes all but erased from today’s politics. Sonny believed there were some things too important to leave to partisan politics. One was the absolute necessity for the transition from the draft to an all-volunteer military to succeed. Army historian, Col. Michael Meese, Ph.D. said, “Transitioning to the All-Volunteer Force was the most important change the Army made since WWII; the Montgomery GI Bill was the policy vehicle that allowed this to happen.” This comes from a book appropriately entitled “Across the Aisle.” It chronicles Sonny’s persevering seven-year bipartisan leadership to get this historic legislation enacted.

day suggests there are no decisions needed in Mississippi or Washington that are too important to leave to partisan politics. If so, leaders like Sonny must no longer be needed. In a letter to Sonny, former Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss of Georgia wrote, “You are one of the most reassuring things I have found in congress. Your honesty, your statesmanship, your commitment to your country & your love of God will be sorely missed.” “We loved his humor, we loved his patriotism and we loved his faith,” said the late and former First Lady Barbara Bush at Sonny’s memorial service. Those of us who knew and worked with Sonny saw and appreciated these attributes. He was a true peacemaker (Matthew 5:9). We miss you, Sonny, and do need more like you. (For you history buffs, Sonny’s next-closest vote occurred after his 10 years of service in the state senate during his ﬁrst race for Congress. In the 1966 Democratic primary, Sonny won in the ﬁrst with about a 99 vote margin over three other candidates. He won the general election with 65 percent of the vote, the next general two years later with 70 percent, four of the next 11 with over 90 percent with the other seven uncontested. He won in 1992 with 81 percent and in 1994 with 68 percent. Sonny retired after 30 years in the Congress in 1997.) » Bill Crawford (crawfolk@gmail.com) is a syndicated columnist from Meridian.

Beware of scam artists promising jobs for your community

he subject of economic development incentives is receiving lots of publicity these days. The Amazon relocation debacle revealed what can happen when the entire community is not on board with major business recruitment. When incentives are properly used, the community wins and the company receiving the incentives wins. However, because some communities are so desperate for jobs they are easy marks for economic development scams. This is a warning to local elected officials and community leaders. There are phony developers of all types out there who will take advantage of your community. Because most communities will do just about anything for more jobs, you are especially vulnerable to unscrupulous real estate developers who will promise shopping centers, office buildings, distribution centers and all manner of development in return for your giving them some type of incentive for their investment in your community. I’ve seen some scams that were almost admirable in their complexity and others that were so simple it was laughable. In this column I’m going to proﬁle one case that happened a few years ago in a medium-sized city in Mississippi. A scam artist, whom we will call Mr. Insurance, contacted a local city council president and said that he could bring in “as many jobs as you want” to the community. His story was that he was the owner of an insurance company that was ready to move south to a state where business conditions were more favorable. His tale was that his company operated a nationwide call center for several insurance companies. The jobs would be above average in pay and beneﬁts, and the company was known for being involved in the community. After a tour of the community in the council president’s car, Mr. Insurance got down to business. In return for bringing jobs to the town he wanted a fully furnished building and training for the future employees. Interestingly, this “prospect” never contacted anybody with the

state or even the local chamber of commerce. The city council president had the item placed on the agenda for the upcoming council meeting. Two days before the city council meeting, Mr. Insurance called the council president and asked for an immediate meeting. He requested that the council president meet him at the local airport at 4:30 P.M. “I’ll be arriving in my plane.” The council president went to the town’s general aviation airport and watched as a Lear Jet landed and taxied over to him. Off the plane came Mr. Insurance. He got in the council president’s car and with a sense of urgency said that another city in another state had agreed to screen the workers and to send them to the company’s existing training center instead of training them locally. Mr. Insurance said that this was much more efficient because their trainers were already in place. The city council president got nervous, afraid he was about to lose the deal. “Let’s get to the bottom line,” said the council president. “What do we have to do to get your company to relocate here?” “As I said,” replied the prospect. “If we could have that training expense paid, we could come here.” “How much?” “If we trained a hundred people for a week, our expenses would run about three thousand per person, so that would be ...” The council president did the math and immediately said, “Three hundred thousand. Let me see what I can do. I’ll let you know by tonight after I poll the other council members and the mayor.” And then away ﬂew the jet, leaving the council president a bit nervous. He knew that this could be the biggest thing for his town or a big disaster. He called the state attorney general’s office immediately and told an investigator what was happening. The state investigator ﬁrst checked on the private jet and learned that

it was registered to an aircraft brokerage company. A few more phone calls and it was discovered that a man fitting the description of the prospect had taken the jet on a test flight after telling the aircraft company that he was interested in buying a plane. Further investigation revealed that the prospect was Phil Hardwick an insurance broker in another state, and that his license was on suspension. In short, he was not who he said he was. Fortunately, this was a case that ended without the city closing any money. It also brings up the need to do basic research on any individual who shows up wanting to help a city by bringing in jobs or revitalization projects. Here are some things that city officials can do to check out such individuals: 1. Perform an Internet search of the individual’s name and any others mentioned; 2. Personally contact someone in the building permit or planning office of the prospect’s hometown; 3. Ask for financial statements of the company and previous projects (note - a pro forma is not a financial statement in these cases); 4. Ask for, and contact references; 5. Contact the Better Business Bureau; and 6. Contact the business editor of the prospect’s hometown. I’ll stop there because it is obvious that these are very basic things that should be done when doing business with anyone. Nevertheless, it is amazing to look back on scams and see how few times such things are not done. » Phil Hardwick is a regular Mississippi Business Journal columnist.

Effort to aid families could be key in Mississippi

fter a year of pilot programs, the leaders of an initiative to strengthen troubled Mississippi families say they are off to a promising start. The Mississippi Families First Initiative is part of a nationwide movement to change the traditional system of child welfare, which reacts and intervenes after a child is harmed, into a system that tries to cut risks and prevent harm. The initiative, led by state Supreme Court Justice Dawn Beam and First Lady Deborah Bryant, has set up programs in eight counties. Those programs are trying different approaches, with the idea that the initiative will evaluate what works before seeking to roll out the program statewide. “A stable family environment is key to the success of future generations,” Bryant wrote in a report to the state Supreme Court issued last week. “By providing resources to individuals to help the family unit, we are reducing childhood trauma and positively inﬂuencing future outcomes.” In Lee County, officials are holding monthly legal clinics to deal with issues including housing, adoption and child custody. Bolivar County’s group is providing help to people looking to expunge criminal records, helping them ﬁnd jobs. In Pearl River County, a county resource coordinator is helping to direct services to families in need. That county is also trying to provide support and child care for parents attending school and job training. In Madison County, the group is exploring coordinating opioid addiction treatment with mental health services for caregivers and children. Several other counties are also considering services using a whole-family model.

Experts agree that foster care and state intervention traumatizes children and parents. The initiative says that of the 4,700 children who were in state custody as of May, it was neglect and not abuse that typically drove intervention. State ﬁgures show 62 percent of children were removed for neglect, with top reasons including parental drug abuse, inadequate housing, and a caretaker’s inability to cope. Experts agree that foster care and state intervention traumatizes children and parents. Mississippi has another, more speciﬁc reason to want to cut the number of children in foster care — the long-running Olivia Y lawsuit. That suit, where the plaintiffs are currently asking a federal judge to declare the state in contempt and appoint an outsider to run the state’s foster care system, revolves around poor conditions faced by children in state custody. The emphasis on strengthening families will only increase if Mississippi is to comply with a new federal law.

Congress passed the Family First Prevention Services Act in 2018, shifting resources from reacting to family problems that harm children and instead encouraging states to address those problems before a child needs to be removed from a home. The law enables states to use federal Jeff Amy money previously earmarked for foster care and adoption support to instead aid parents without separating families. Those services include in-home parenting skills, substance abuse treatment and mental health care. They’re also supposed to be evidence-based, meaning there’s some proof that they are effective. Signiﬁcantly, the law also sharply limits the amount of federal money that can be used to pay for foster care in group homes. States will only get federal money to place a child for two weeks, with some exceptions. For longer stays, a judge must periodically approve continued use of a group home. Those changes are likely to mean big changes at Mississippi’s group homes, many of which are religiously affiliated. However, while most of the law takes effect in October, states can delay the group home changes as late as Octorber 2021. Mississippi is among many states that have indicated it will delay, although that means federal money can’t be diverted to prevention services until then.

ECONOMY

How a ‘currency war’ could weaken U.S. economy President Donald Trump’s trade conﬂict with China escalated this week when Beijing let its currency fall to its lowest level against the dollar in 11 years and suspended its purchases of U.S. farm goods — and the Trump administration promptly branded China a “currency manipulator.” Trump’s response has little immediate practical impact. But together, the new developments raised the dangerous threat of a destabilizing currency war that could infect the global ﬁnancial system. The stock market responded Monday with its steepest plunge of the year. Things cooled a bit Tuesday when China appeared to stabilize its currency, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded 311 points. But that was still less than half its loss Monday. WHAT IS A ‘CURRENCY WAR’? It occurs when two countries take steps to lower the value of their currencies to try to gain a competitive edge over each other. A cheaper currency typically makes a nation’s exports more affordable for foreigners — and makes imports more expensive. This action tends to protect a country’s manufacturers, in particular, from foreign competition. ARE THE U.S. AND CHINA IN A CURRENCY WAR? For now, no. The Trump administration has yet to respond to China’s allowing its currency to fall by taking its own steps to lower the dollar’s value to the

yuan. Still, this could happen: The option was raised in the White House late last month, according to media reports, and Trump said July 26 that he could take steps to devalue the dollar “in two seconds if I want to.” And earlier that month, Trump had tweeted that China and Europe were “playing (a) big currency manipulation game” and the U.S. either “should MATCH, or continue being the dummies who sit back and politely watch as other countries continue to play their games.” Megan Greene, an economist and senior fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, suggested that the Trump administration might decide to lower the dollar’s value to retaliate against China simply because it has few other options. Still, she doesn’t think the move would prove effective, partly because the yuan isn’t widely available on currency markets. It would be hard for the U.S. to buy enough yuan to drive up its value against the dollar. “It seems like some kind of currency intervention is on the table, just not an effective one,” Greene said. WHAT MIGHT AN INTERVENTION LOOK LIKE? The Treasury Department maintains what it calls an Exchange Stabilization Fund. It could use this fund to sell dollars and buy yuan, thereby reducing the dollar’s value against the Chinese currency. But the fund contains about $100 billion — not a large sum

if your goal is to influence foreign exchange markets, which measure in the trillions of dollars. And taking such steps would violate the international agreements that the United States has signed not to manipulate the dollar’s value to gain trade advantages. Trump also wants the Federal Reserve to cut short-term interest rates repeatedly and aggressively. Doing so would make the dollar less valuable for investors to hold. The Fed cut its benchmark rate last week, and investors expect further reductions in the fall. But on Tuesday, James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, who voted for last week’s rate cut, said the central bank has “done a lot” and argued that it shouldn’t respond to every fluctuation in trade tensions. WHAT DAMAGE COULD RESULT? Over time, it would be significant. For China, driving the yuan lower would make it harder for its companies to pay off their dollar-denominated debts, because each yuan they earn would translate into fewer dollars. In both countries, cheaper currencies generally raise the price of imports, which could spur inflation. That would also make Chinese imports costlier for American consumers. “For the U.S. to intervene to try to weaken the dollar would be a terrible mistake,” said Sung Won Sohn, business economist at Loyola Marymount

University in Los Angeles. HAVE THERE BEEN SUCH WARS BEFORE? The most notorious example occurred during the Great Depression of the 1930s, when the U.S. and several European countries sought to devalue their currencies. Jeffrey Bergstrand, a finance professor at Notre Dame and former Fed economist, said that such moves, along with rising tariffs, worsened the depression. After World War II, the U.S., leading European economies, Japan, and others signed onto the Bretton Woods agreement. This accord established a system of fixed exchange rates with the idea of forestalling future currency fights. Otherwise, the United States has intervened in currency markets only as part of coordinated international efforts to boost the global economy. In September 2000, the United States, along with central banks in Europe and Japan, bought euros to drive the new currency off its record lows. And in 1985, the G-7 countries agreed to the Plaza Accord. This was a landmark agreement that launched coordinated currency market interventions to sell dollars, which had risen so much in value that it hurt America’s exports.

Seven state community colleges provide two-year engineering degrees By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com Editor’s note: The three community colleges referred to in this article are among seven in the state that offer engineering degrees. Some of the best paying jobs in Mississippi and elsewhere are in engineering, and many of the state’s community and junior colleges provide an affordable path to get a degree that can prepare them to go to work immediately or to complete a bachelor’s degree in engineering with McKone a four-year college. “Our tuition and fees are less than half of what you would pay for a public four-year university in Mississippi,” said Dr. Chad Stocks, vice president for work-force and economic development and district coordinator of career and technical education, Stocks Hinds Community College (HCC). “When compared to private universities in Mississippi, our tuition is more than 80 percent less.” In-state annual tuition at HCC for 2017-2018 was about $3,080 compared to an average of $7,389 in public universities in Mississippi and $17,424 in private universities. Stocks said the majority of their engineering graduates seek employment upon completing their associate’s degree program. “Although more advanced engineering jobs require a bachelor’s degree, many positions are available as engineering technicians in a variety of ﬁelds such as civil, architectural, electronics and mechanical engineering, and assisting licensed engineers,” Stocks said. “We do have students who choose to continue their education at a four-year university in parallel programs of studies.”

Recently HCC had 20 graduates in engineering drafting and design technology, 45 graduates in electronics and related engineering technology including biomedical equipment repair, electronics technology and telecommunications technology, and 12 graduates in precision manufacturing and engineering technology. Engineering may not be a field even considered by many high school graduates. Dr. Kevin McKone, science chair/physics/ engineering, Copiah-Lincoln Community College (Co-Lin) for 20 years, said one goal of their engineering program has been to recruit more local students into engineering through robotics outreach including offering summer robotics camps. “On average, 20-30 freshman engineering students start our program, and the ones that complete our program transfer at the end of their sophomore year to a 4-year engineering university, usually Mississippi State,” McKone said. “As far as I know, 100 percent of our students that transfer from our engineering program to a 4-year engineering school finish their engineering degree. To the best of my knowledge, graduates that chose to stay in engineering have all found jobs in the engineering field.” The majority of Co-Lin students major in chemical, civil or mechanical engineering. The past few years there has been increased interest in electrical engineering, specifically power engineering. “Many of our engineering graduates stay in Mississippi working for Georgia Pacific, International Paper, Toyota, ABB, Entergy, MDOT, Continental Tire, Ergon, EDRC, go on to medical school or start their own business,” McKone said. “Some former students have moved off to Atlanta, Houston, New Orleans, Birmingham and Washington, D.C., opting for larger established companies like Procter and Gamble, and Siemens. We have had some students who stayed local, working with small local engineering companies.”

McKone said their program works closely with smaller local engineering firms that hire students for summer internships or part-time work during the school year. He said this is something engineering students are encouraged to do to get industry experience concurrently with their formal education. “Our students can also get engineering experience through our underwater robotics team,” he said. “Working with local engineering companies, volunteering at FIRST robotic competitions and working closely with Nissan training has enabled our program to stay current with industry needs. Co-Lin has recently hired Dr. Reed Freeman, a civil engineer with industry experience, to teach our introductory engineering courses. These courses are helping to give our engineering students an overview of different engineering fields, along with engineering projects that emphasize skills industry is interested in.” These skills include 3D-CAD design, critical thinking through problem solving and statistical analysis of engineering failure. The Co-Lin engineering department also works very closely with the math and computer science department, ensuring students see the relevance of math in engineering courses, and engineering in their math courses. “The students who work through the rigor of our program successfully transfer to a four-year engineering school, graduate, and are rewarded with a good salary, a satisfying career and many times the ability to stay local,” McKone said. The Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) also has a robust engineering program. A spokesperson for MGCCC said in addition to the two-year programs being less than half the cost of a four-year university, students have more opportunity for scholarships, such as transfer scholarships and Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society scholarships, that are often times better than freshman scholarships at the universities. Students can complete a two-year associate of science degree from MGCCC before enrolling in electrical or mechanical engineering classes that will result in bachelor’s degrees from Mississippi State University (MSU). The classes are all offered on-campus at MGCCC-Jackson County Campus in Gautier. This includes all of the MGCCC classes for the students’ first two years. Then, the engineering classes are offered on the MGCCC-Jackson County campus by the MSU Bagley College of Engineering faculty or through synchronous online-delivery from MSU’s Starkville campus. The engineering program is growing each year. In the fall of 2016, there were 13 students in the electrical engineer-

In fall 2018, there were 37 students in the electrical engineering and 63 in the mechanical. For this fall, MGCCC already had 31 electrical engineering and 55 mechanical engineering students registered before the end of July. That number was expected to increase through the upcoming orientations and during fall registration August 19th and 20th.

Engineering schools in Mississippi produce graduates vital to stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work force By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com Mississippi industries have a big demand for workers with engineering degrees, a fact that puts graduates from engineering schools in the state in a good position to land jobs that earn far above the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average salaries. The largest engineering school is the state is the Bagley College of Engineering at Mississippi State University (MSU), which had had 4,715 students in the fall 2018 semester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although it is a large college, ranking in the top 50 for undergraduate enrollment as reported by the American Society of Engineering Education, we

deliver a student-focused, hands-on curriculum that prepares our students to hit the ground running for successful careers in industry, graduate school, medical school, law school, or veterinary school,â&#x20AC;? said Bagley College of Engineering Dean Dr. Jason Keith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have two dozen student competition teams that have won numerous awards, including the EcoCAR mobility challenge, Space Cowboys rocket team, NASA Robotic Mining Team, and the Concrete Canoe.â&#x20AC;? The Bagley College of Engineering works closely with the Office of Research and Economic Development and the Mississippi Development Authority to recruit strong companies to locate their facilities in Mississippi. This brings engineering jobs, and a large number of other skilled labor jobs, into the state.

Keith said this helps the economic competitiveness of the state compared with its peers not only in the Southeast, but also in the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Companies that hire large cohorts from Mississippi State University in engineering include International Paper, Chevron, Southern Company, ExxonMobil, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,â&#x20AC;?

require speciﬁc specializations. “Over the past several decades, new engineering disciplines have been born to address the needs of industry,” he said. “And all of these degrees attract a large number of students. In addition to their teaching responsibilities, our faculty remain on the leading edge of research in their respective ﬁelds. Maintaining a strong faculty-to-student ratio allows our students to get the most from their time in the classroom and creates opportunities for them to be heavily involved in the world class research that takes place here every day.” University of Mississippi (UM) School of Engineering Dean Dr. David A. Puleo said specialization allows students to gain skills and knowledge in a chosen area of emphasis. Examples include manufacturing at the undergraduate level and aeroacoustics or electromagnetics at the graduate level. Gaining the training and experience to develop expertise in a particular area will prepare student to complete the work or focus on that area effectively. “Educating engineers and computer scientists is critically important for Mississippi. Engineering-related occupations are some of the highest-paying and stable careers,” Puleo said. “In Mississippi, the average wage for engineers is $73,690. In some engineering professions in Mississippi, average entry-level wages are as high as $83,910. The UM School of Engineering is committed to preparing engineers to earn the high-paying jobs that the state has to offer. Recent graduates work for state, federal, and private employers across the state, including BorgWarner, C Spire, Cooper Tire and Rubber, Corelogic|FNC, International Paper Co., Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Mississippi Department of Transportation, National Sedimentation Laboratory,

Raytheon, SOAIR LLC, Sun-Pine, Corp. Tecumseh Products, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.” Puleo said they strongly encourage students to engage in experiential activities, including internships and cooperative education. These experiences provide students with the unique opportunity of working in a professional capacity for dif- Puleo ferent lengths of time, from the summer to several months, during their tenure as an undergraduate student. Students work side-by-side with full-time engineers and other professionals on projects that might range from design to sales to problem solving. “In the end, with this preparation, students are more competitive when entering the full-time job market,” Puleo said. “Also, the availability of a well-pre- Winstead pared workforce of engineers and computer scientists is a key consideration for industries expanding in Mississippi or locating a facility in the state.” Dr. Chris Winstead, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), said cutting-edge industries need to locate where they have access to a highly educated population with the skills relevant for their work. “Connections to strong academic and research programs in the state are powerful inﬂuences,” Winstead said. “We’ll have much more success in recruiting and, very importantly, retaining high-tech industries in the state, if we can supply engineers who are committed to living and working in Mississippi. People born and raised here, people educated here, often would prefer to stay if

the jobs are here, as well.” The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects engineering employment will grow faster over the next several years than the average for all occupations. Winstead said USM’s three engineering programs, which are relatively new, are built upon historic strengths of the institution. “Two of these programs, ocean engineering and polymer science and engineering, are unique in the state and quite rare nationally,” Winstead said. “Polymer science and engineering focuses on understanding, developing, and applying novel materials in aerospace, electronic, medical, and many other applications. Ocean engineering focuses on the design, application, and implementation of new technologies for the marine environment, including autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, marine infrastructure, and sensor systems. “Our third program, computer engineering, is focused on the ever-expanding integration of computing systems into all technologies. Computer engineers work in the design, development, and integration of hardware, software, and network systems. Think of almost any technology, such as defense systems, aerospace systems, automobiles, mobile phones, and even kitchen appliances, and chances are that a computer engineer was involved in its design. Cybersecurity is a key focus for our computer engineering program. “ Winstead said as the complexities of various technologies, methods and systems increase, there is a natural drive toward increasing specialization. “Working at the cutting edge for new technologies requires deep knowledge in highly speciﬁc areas,” he said. “It’s very much like the specialization that we see in medical practice. There is so much knowledge that it’s very difficult for one person to be an expert in all areas.”

MSU engineering professors investigating how to increase the number of women in STEM fields By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com There has been a talent shortage in Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) fields over the past decade and economic projections show an even greater demand for STEM professionals in the near future. Economic forecasts predict that the United States will have a shortfall of about 1 million STEM professionals over the next decade. But in the U.S., women represent only about 15-25 percent of enrollment in some engineering fields. Two prominent women engineers in the state, Mississippi State University (MSU) aerospace engineering professor Rani W. Sullivan and electrical and computer engineering Mohammadi-Aragh assistant professor M. Jean Mohammadi-Aragh, want to encourage more women to enter science-based computing fields. They have received a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for a project designed to identify new ways to recruit and retain women in engineering based on stories from both international and American students with regards to their career choice. Sullivan Sullivan said that in addition to being important to meet the demand for engineering jobs, studies indicate higher performance from diverse teams. “And this diversity can be achieved, in part, by increasing the number of women in engineering,” Sullivan said. More women in engineering means having more engineers available to fill open jobs, Mohammadi-Aragh said. “State and local efforts have expanded opportunities for new industries to locate in Mississippi,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “Locally, the immediate Tri-County area surrounding MSU consisting of Clay, Lowndes, and Oktibbeha counties is home to a growing aerospace and manufacturing corridor. Many Mississippi companies need engineers.” Historically, Mississippi companies have been more successful in using the local work force rather than importing workers from other states. But Mohammadi-Aragh said competing for engineering graduates on a national level is particularly difficult since the number of engineering graduates is low nationwide. “Perceptions and stereotypes of Mississippi compound the issue by creating challenges for recruiting graduates to move to Mississippi for employment,” she said. “But Mississippians know the truth about our amazing state, and want to stay here. So, let’s figure out how to encourage more people, including women, to pursue engineering so they can fill open engineering jobs in Mississippi.” There are numerous factors that impact the low percentages of women in STEM fields in the U.S. Sullivan said one consistent research finding is that

many women don’t go into engineering because quite simply, they think they can’t. “Early on, students receive subtle signals about appropriate career choices for girls and this impacts the choices they ultimately make, causing them to self-select from the list of ‘appropriate’ careers for women,” Sullivan said. Women are also discouraged by stereotypes such as that women aren’t good at math. “If a young girl has heard that stereotype and then walks into a mathematics test and sees that they are the only girl, they may start to believe the stereotype,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “Or, if they don’t score well, they may attribute it to evidence for the truth of the stereotype. Then they will avoid career paths, like engineering, based on a misconception about the stereotype.” Researchers have shown that those overt messages young women receive early lead them to avoid engineering and math in future careers. Mohammadi-Aragh said she thinks it could also be related to cultural expectations. “That’s one of the things we will investigate in our upcoming research,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “Who are role models for young women? Are mothers able to coach young women that they can be successful in ﬁelds like engineering?” Sullivan said she doesn’t think it is so much that women don’t know that engineering can be a good career. But they may not recognize that engineering can be exciting and rewarding work that will allow them to make a very positive impact on society. “Many young women may simply see the challenges – completing four semesters of calculus, for example – and don’t realize that engineering will give them opportunities to make very impactful, meaningful positive differences for individuals within their communities and the world,” Sullivan said. “Engineers make huge differences in every area, from health care to our environment to everyday communication and transportation.” Engineers literally change and shape the world. “I don’t think young girls always realize that we can,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “And that we do!” Both women agree that it is important to encourage all students to start thinking of STEM careers in elementary school. From the very beginning – children should be playing with blocks along with dolls. “Young children can tinker and learn about engineering and STEM informally, which will complement the formal engineering and STEM education in schools,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “I know many faculty and staff at Mississippi State who are involved in efforts to promote engineering and computing in K-12 classrooms. All their efforts will help young

women to consider engineering and STEM as future careers.” Sullivan’s role model was her father, Z. U. A. Warsi, was a professor of aerospace engineering at MSU. “His passion for both research and education made an impact on me and it was due to his encouragement that I pursued aerospace engineering,” she said. Mohammadi-Aragh’s dad is a mechanical engineer. “He thinks highly of engineering as a profession,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “He encouraged me every step of the way, and would often explain the ‘engineering’ behind decisions he made when I was a child. I also beneﬁted from my mom being a school teacher. My mom didn’t promote engineering per se; she promoted education more generally. For example, she always found some new math game to keep me challenged and help me see that math is fun. Education is so important to both my parents, and they successfully transferred that value to me.” The goal of the research is to consider the inﬂuence of culture on women’s choices to pursue STEM careers. “Jean and I have had many discussions regarding the impact of culture on life and career choices as both of us have a leg in two cultures,” Sullivan said. “For me, I’m both Indian and American. With regard to culture on the Indian subcontinent, careers in engineering and sciences have very prestigious and positive connotations. Both boys and girls are encouraged to pursue their education in engineering or the sciences.” Mohammadi-Aragh grew up in a Persian-American family. “Engineering is a very prestigious career in Middle Eastern culture,” Mohammadi-Aragh said. “In our research, we will examine how career expectations, individual and family values, and cultural differences impact women’s pursuit of engineering and STEM careers.” The NSF grant will allow the research team to identify differences in engineering messaging within Moroccan and American cultures to determine factors that contribute to women’s decisions to pursue engineering degrees at higher rates in Morocco.

Free market approach proposed for medicinal marijuana program in Mississippi By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com When Mississippi launched its casino industry in 1992, it decided to use the free market approach rather than having only a limited number of licenses available. An initiative for a proposed constitutional amendment to set up a medical marijuana program in Mississippi takes a similar free-market approach. “We are coming later to the game, but there are advantages because we are able to see what other states have done--what has worked and what has not worked—to craft Grantham an initiative for a strictly regulated medical marijuana program,” said Jamie Grantham, communications director, Mississippians for Compassion Care (MCC). MCC is in the process of collecting signatures to put a proposed constitutional amendment for a medical marijuana program on the ballot in 2020. Grantham said it has been collecting signatures for ten months and is doing a major push this summer

to ﬁnish getting the 86,185 signatures of voters needed to put the initiative on the ballot. Grantham said officials with MCC studied medicinal marijuana programs in other states when crafting the initiative. “Thirty-three other states have medical marijuana programs,” she said. “And of those, about three million Americans are receiving relief from symptoms of debilitating medical conditions. Mississippi should have the same options for people who are suffering here.” Neighboring Arkansas is considered to have one of the worst medical marijuana rollouts in the country. Voters approved a constitutional amended in 2016, and the ﬁrst dispensaries opened only recently. As of the end of July, six dispensaries were open in the state. David Boyer, legislative analyst, Marijuana Policy Project, said the Medical Marijuana Commission in Arkansas did not do an adequate job scoring applications, which plagued the rollout of the program with lawsuits. And he said it was a mistake to license so few dispensaries and grow facilities. “Medical marijuana laws serve the patient best when they allow for competition in the market-

place,” Boyer said. “This provides the patient with the best quality medicine at an affordable price.” Grantham said the free-market approach will allow patients to have access to their medicine as soon as possible because there are unlikely to be things that have held up implementation in other states. “Any business that wants to be licensed to grow or dispense can apply to the Mississippi Department of Health,” she said. “If they meet requirements, then they will be a licensed medical marijuana business in Mississippi. Mississippi is a very rural state. Our primary concern as it is a healthcare initiative is for patients to have access to their medicine. Our hope is they will not have to drive a long distance to get to a medical marijuana treatment center.” Polls have shown about 77 percent of people in Mississippi favor legalizing medical marijuana. “People understand that it helps people with debilitating medical conditions,” Grantham said. “I got involved with it because I saw the potential for it to help so many people in Mississippi.” See MARIJUANA, Page 22

Martin proud to be a part of No. 1 health-care job in America By NASH NUNNERY mbj@msbusiness.com Every now and then, Steve Martin still hears (and reads) the name of his profession butchered verbally and in print. The term “physician’s assistant” is a misnomer. PAs are not assistants to physicians. Martin is a professor and program director for the Mississippi College Department of Physician Assistant Studies, the only PA program in the state of Mississippi. He’s also a physician assistant. There is no possessive apostrophe in the title of the profession. “(The mispronunciation) happens a lot less frequently than when I arrived in Mississippi ﬁve and half years ago,” said Martin, a South Carolina native. “There have been some advocacy among PA groups over the years to change the name and remove ‘assistant’. “Patients don’t care what we’re called. They’re just glad we’re here.” Based at the sprawling Baptist Healthplex on the east side of the campus, the MC PA program launched in 2011 and graduated an initial class of 29 in December 2013.

Mississippi Medical Center, federal clinics and other medical facilities in the region, the 30-month PA program is rigorous and time-consuming. Upon graduating, MC-produced PAs deliver a wide range of medical and surgi-

cal services. Their duties include conducting physical exams, dignosing and trating illnesses, order and interpreting tests, counseling on preventive health, assisting in surgery and prescribing medications. Currently, there are three cohorts of

30 students each enrolled in the MC PA program. The college receives 1,000 applicants annually. Only 30 students make each cohort cut, with 50 percent of those required to be Mississippi residents. Since the program’s inception eight years ago, the school has produced 180 PAs, many of whom elected to stay and practice in-state. “It’s very difficult to get into our program, as the average age of an MC PA student is 26-years old,” Martin said. “We don’t require prior experience, such as athletic training, EMT training or the like but we strongly encourage it. Being a member of a comprehensive medical team is the MC PA program mantra, said Martin. “Our concept is one of team and working collaboratively with all medical professionals, from nurses to doctors,” he said. According to the American Academy of PAs, the profession was created to improve and expand healthcare. In the mid-1960s, physicians and educators recognized there was a shortage of primary care physicians. Eugene A. Stead Jr., MD, of the Duke University Medical Center, put together the first class of PAs in 1965. Stead based the curriculum of the PA program on his knowledge of the fast-track training of doctors during World War II. The US Bureau of Labor projects the number of PA jobs will increase a whopping 37 percent between 2016 and 2026. That’s significantly more than most other professions, including medical doctors, who are only projected to increase by 13 percent in the same time period. PA Stephanie Keith, 28, was torn between PA and medical school after earning her undergraduate degree at Mississippi State University. However, she relished the idea of working together with a medical team and chose PA school. A graduate of the MC PA class of 2016, Keith says the program has a unique quality. “There is a loving and caring environment at MC that graduates, students and applicants talk about,” says Keith, who now serves as an assistant professor of the MC physician assistant studies program. “PA school is intense and incredibly stressful, but I always felt like my professors and the staff were constantly supportive and encouraging. “You don’t find that in a lot of professional schools.” PAs practice and prescribe medications in all 50 states and are licensed by the same medical boards that confer physician licenses. They also must pass a national certifying exam prior to practicing and are required to re-certify every 10 years.

UMMC SAYS RESEARCH INTO CBD OIL FOR CHILDREN WITH SEIZURES SHOWING GREAT PROMISE By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com Research is being done at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) and the UM School of Pharmacy on the effect of the cannabis-derived medicine cannabidiol (CBD) on children with seizures. An initial six-month CBD trial UMMC received a one-year extension in late July. CBD is a non-psychoactive chemical compound derived from cannabis. CBD doesn’t impair thinking or cause intoxication like other cannabis chemicals such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD is legal at the federal level, and has been growing in popularity for uses such as pain relief. The Hemp Business Journal estimates that there were $500 million in CBD sales in the U.S. in 2018. The CBD in the UM trial is grown at the UM School of Pharmacy’s National Center for Natural Products Research (NCNPR). Multiple approvals were required from the Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Agency for the trial of 10 patients that begin in 2018. All ten patients in the initial trial opted to participate in the extension. Dr. Brad Ingram, principal investigator in the trial, a UMMC associate professor of pediatric neurology and director of the UMMC Pedi-

Some opponents of medical marijuana suggest many patients are primarily interested in the intoxicating effects of the product. But Grantham said the only patients certiﬁed will be those who have very debilitating conditions such as paralysis, spinal cord injuries, seizure disorders and Parkinson’s disease--conditions where their quality of life is very adversely impacted. “This is a health-care initiative,” Grantham said. “It doesn’t have to do with anything else. To qualify, you must have in-person exam by a physician. No home growing will be allowed. The only places medical marijuana will be sold in Mississippi are at medical marijuana treatment centers.” Grantham said they designed the voter initiative to make sure the medicine gets into the hands of patients. “We want a well-functioning program where patients are able to get access to their medicine,” she said. “I am extremely passionate about anything that helps with someone’s emotional or physical health. Personally, I’m a Christian and I think this plant is amazing. It helps a lot of people the way God designed.” Grantham said she has been inspired by meeting people in patients in states with legal medical marijuana programs who have been beneﬁted greatly. “Arizona is one of the states we looked at,” Grantham said. “We toured their program. We were able to talk to veterans in studies about using marijuana for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It brought tears to my eyes to hear the stories of the veterans trying reclaim normalcy in their lives.” One veteran she met had been unable to sleep and lost his marriage because of the trauma he was experiencing after coming back from war. Once he became a medical marijuana

atric Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, described treatment with the drug as “compassionate care for the sickest of the sick.” He said they found no significant safety issues during the trial’s first six months and results so far have been promising. “Some of the trial participants are at the status quo, and some have had a really good response to the drug,” Ingram said. “All of the participants, though, seem to have some positive outcome, such as more pleasant mood or sleeping better. Even with patients whose seizure counts are unchanged, parents said their children are happier. We had a teenage patient say ‘mom’ to the patient’s mother for the first time ever. We had patients whose parents were able to take them to the grocery store for the first time.” Ingram said participants in the trial have been devastated by their epilepsy, even up to their abilities to walk, talk, or participate in simple activities of self-care. Dr. Richard Summers, UMMC associate vice chancellor for research, said the FDA extension of the study is a next great step toward developing this natural product into a therapeutic with the promise of controlling seizures in many patients who have failed to recover with conventional treatment. “The allowance of an extension is also a reflection of the great success of our initial trial and the quality of the research operations of the UMMC CBD team,” Summers said. “We are hoping to use these

efforts as a springboard for other future potential areas of use for this compound.” NCNPR Director Emeritus Dr. Larry Walker said they have been pleased to see how the patients and their families have beneﬁted from the study, and are hopeful that another year will provide a basis to begin a development program of a federally approved cannabis-based botanical drug. In the trial, extracts of a marijuana strain grown on the UM Oxford campus are being manufactured, packaged and checked to ensure all quality control speciﬁcations are met before being transferred to the pharmacy at UMMC’s main campus in Jackson. There, the extract is diluted with pharmaceutical-grade sesame oil to achieve the proper dosage concentration.

patient, his entire life changed. “He is able to sleep, and not be hypervigilant,” Grantham said. “He is active in his community. He has life in in his eyes now. He lives a good life now.” Opponents of medical marijuana often voice concerns about the lack of scientific evidence about the medicinal benefits of cannabis. The State Board of Health in Mississippi is opposed to a medical marijuana program. Liz Sharlot, communications director for the Mississippi Health Department, said they will wait and see what happens with the referendum. “Medical marijuana has not undergone a rigorous medical review,” Sharlot said. “It is not FDA approved. The U.S. Veteran Administration advises veterans that federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule One Controlled Substance. “This makes it illegal in the eyes of the federal government,” the VA states. “The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is required to follow all federal laws including those regarding marijuana. As long as the Food and Drug Administration classifies marijuana as Schedule I, VA health care providers may not recommend it or assist veterans to obtain it.” Grantham said when they visited Arizona to look at their medical marijuana program, their host was Dr. Sue Sisley, who has done clinical studies of using medical marijuana to treat veterans with PTSD. “Dr. Sisley just completed the first federal research study on PTSD in veterans, Grantham said. “She is brilliant and has a soft spot in her heart for veterans. She pushed and pushed and pushed and had a lot of backlash. Medical marijuana can have a positive impact not only on the veterans, but on their family and friends. It can make a big difference in someone’s life.”

Additionally, PAs must attain 100 credits of continuing education every two years. “It’s a tough process, but the job is extremely rewarding and very ﬂexible, as opposed to being a physician,” said Martin, who joined the MC PA faculty in 2014. MC PA-S (student) Hailey Daniels’ dream is to pursue a post-graduation career as a surgical PA in orthopedics, preferably in the Jackson metropolitan area. A Brandon native, the 28-year old said she is driven by her passion of caring for others. “I want to affect change in our health care system in order to positively inﬂuence patient care,” Daniels said. “I believe that starts with developing sound, trusting relationships with patients. Martin, who also has served as a member of the Uniformed Services with a federal Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) as part of the National Disaster Medical System with the United States Department of Health and Human Services since 2001, said he has no regrets after deciding to apply to PA school at the University of Florida at age 40. “Recently, I read that physician assistant was named the number one job in healthcare by U.S. News & World Report,” Martin said. “It’s been a wonderful career.”

THE SPIN CYCLE

Gatehouse Media & Gannett combine

he media industry continues to go through seismic shifts in order to better align with a digital world, and the evolving preferences of audiences. A major media tremor struck earlier this week, when the two largest newspaper chains in the United States agreed to merge in a nearly $1.4 billion deal – consolidating an industry rumbling with change. New Media Investment Group Inc., the parent of GateHouse Media, announced it is buying Gannett Co. :In a cash-and-stock transaction, The deal combines the largest owner of U.S. newspapers by titles – GateHouse, with 400 papers and a total circulation of 4.29 million – and the largest newspaper group by circulation – Gannett, with a circulation of 4.32 million and 215 titles including USA Today, according to a University of North Carolina study. The merger will test whether a new local-news powerhouse will be better equipped to deal with the rapid decline in print advertising and increased competition from tech giants like Google and Facebook that are competing for digital advertising dollars. More than 2,100 newspapers have closed since 2004, according to the UNC study. Google and Facebook together are expected to take 51 percent of all U.S. digital ad spending in 2019, according to research firm eMarketer. The deal will give a mammoth role in the local-news industry to a private-equity-backed entity, underscoring the rise of investors who have been relentless about cutting costs in the media industry. How marketers can show financial impact The age old challenge in branding, marketing and PR is proving how the practice delivers ROI. And showing the impact of marketing on financial outcomes is the No. 1 challenge for marketers, according to a new Harvard Business Review report. Writers researched on both sides of this issue – with Chief Marketing Officers aiming to show their ROI and with CFOs, COOs, and CEOs seeking to make effective decisions about marketing investments. Based on those perspectives, they recommend eight steps that can help: 1. Start with business value. The task of demonstrating how marketing impacts the bottom line often prompts visions of precise measurement, elaborate metrics dashboards, and irrefutable attribution of financial outcomes. The writers recommend that CMOs take a more comprehensive view of the business value they create. CMOs often play multiple roles in creating business value within their function — as growth enablers, innovation catalysts,

champions of customer centricity, builders of new capabilities, and stewards of the corporate brand that serves as a magnet for talent. They also create business value beyond their function by collaborating with others in the “C suite” to advance the enterprise’s strategy and the CEO’s agenda. 2. Understand what business value means to each function. Marketing leaders should translate the definitions of their value creation for the myriad functions they touch. Sales might define business value as revenue growth; finance might think of it as volume, price, margin, and cost management; supply chain might call it the predictability of demand. Marketing leaders should tailor their demonstration of impact to the most relevant metrics for each function, and include other evidence that resonates, such as customer testimonials for sales, positive trends and variances for finance, and better forecasting and reduced stock outs for supply chain. 3. Know your own metrics. There’s more to demonstrating the impact of marketing activities on financial outcomes than metrics. However, at some point, you need metrics. Most marketing leaders have a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) they use to demonstrate impact on financial outcomes, and it’s critical to be thoroughly knowledgeable about them. That means having not just a spreadsheet to review at the senior management team meeting but also a deep understanding of how the metrics are constructed. For MROI, for example, what costs have been included as the investment — program costs, or staff costs as well? What has been counted in the return on that investment — profit increase, or just revenue lift? What baseline of financial outcomes (absent marketing activities) is being used? What time frame is being used to assess the impact? Why do those choices make sense? 4. Explain the inherent uncertainties of marketing measurements. Deep knowledge of the metrics can build your credibility when you’re discussing them with other executives, but it helps to explain marketing’s inherent uncertainties. 5. Emphasize validity over precision. To executives used to managing their businesses through the scrutiny of numbers, marketing’s uncertainties can be frustrating. Marketing does have valid metrics through which its activities can be assessed and managed. A/B testing and test markets can confirm or refute hypotheses to reasonable levels of confidence. Brand-building tactics can be assessed through surveys and focus groups. Many modern marketing tactics (especially digital) are very trackable. CMOs should emphasize that their metrics are valid when evaluating whether marketing activities are working as expect-

ed, and that the inherent imprecision in measuring marketing’s financial outcomes does not undermine their validity. 6. Have a budget story. One factor that sometimes undermines executives’ faith in marketing’s impact is the sense that the marketing budget is not administered rigorously. So, to be successful, provide visibility on total spend, show how spend is aligned with business strategies and key priorities, and demonstrate how working spend has been optimized and non-working spend streamlined. 7. Have a marketing transformation story. Further credibility can come from demonstrating ongoing improvements in marketing effectiveness and efficiency. There are major cost factors that can be implemented in areas such as consolidating the brand architecture to focus more spend on fewer brands; rationalizing the agency roster and proliferation of websites; and creating shared services across the enterprise with automation and technology-enabled processes. Executives in other functions want to be assured that marketing is minimizing waste and staying at the frontier of effectiveness, efficiency, and agility. 8. Meet one-on-one. Marketing leaders usually attend monthly meetings of the senior management team or equivalent forums. Marketing and branding meetings should take place frequently to deliver a comprehensive and nuanced view of branding’s financial impact. Taste Bud Twisted Mic: No screaming for mustard & hot dog ice cream I know that the ice cream loving public has been scooped some crazy ice cream flavors in recent years, but this has to take the cake! French’s has taken its famous yellow condiment recipe and made it into a luscious frozen dessert. And not to be out dogged, Oscar Mayer countered with, yup, hot dog ice cream!

French’s recently revealed a limited edition Mustard Ice Cream to celebrate National Mustard Day. The paradoxical ice cream flavor was produced in partnership with Coolhaus Ice Cream and is also Todd Smith part of French’s Not From France campaign, which praises American flavor through “unexpected twists on beloved classics,” according to a news release. Oscar Mayer teamed up with New York City-based Il Laboratorio Del Gelato to corrupt some perfectly good gelato with real bits of candied Oscar Mayer hot dogs, swirled with spicy Dijon gelato, and “hot dog sweet cream” (gag me now!) This dog of a treat is compressed into a hot dog shape, served on a cookie bun – and dubbed the Ice Dog Sandwich, which marked National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. I’m sure this ice cream fraud has had a chilly reception, and certainly has more bark than bite! Each week, The Spin Cycle will bestow a Golden Mic Award to the person, group or company in the court of public opinion that best exemplifies the tenets of solid PR, marketing and advertising – and those who don’t. Stay tuned – and step-up to the mic! And remember … Amplify Your Brand!
