Site preparation is underway on the site for a fueling station (above) even though a suit is pending; initial construction of the 45-acre site for Costco Wholesale and other businesses began Sept. 16.

By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com The question: will Costco Wholesale proceed with construction of the 150,000-squarefoot store in Ridgeland without building a fueling station? The city of Ridgeland has now gotten court

clearance to build the so-called “third phase” of the Renaissance Colony Parkway mall, which would be anchored by Costco. The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled 7-0 in April 2017 in a case brought by homeowners that contended that the city had acted illegally in rezoning the 45-acre third-phase site to allow a fueling station on that land.

The city resubmitted the plan without a station. The city approved it and work began on the site a month ago, on Sept. 16. But Costco still does not have legal clearance to build the fueling station, with its fate pending in the Mississippi Supreme Court. Yet that has not stopped the work from be-

Hotel and Restaurant Supply ﬁnds new home nearby in Hawkins Field Industrial Park By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com Bricks and mortar and e-commerce are often seen as competitors. But Mason Greene sees them as complementary for Hotel and Restaurant Supply. The company was founded in 1953 by his grandfather, Percy Greene, long before anyone had dreamed of something like the Internet. Now Mason, 44, is president and his father, Jerry Greene, chief executive, are building for the future by moving from their 33,000-square-foot warehouse and showroom to an 85,000-square-foot facility not far away in the Hawkins Field Industrial Park. The new location, formerly a Sears warehouse, offers more visibility and maintains its accessibility on the Industrial Drive exit on Interstate 220 in west Jackson, which allows its customers to skirt Jackson traffic. More than anything, the space is needed, Greene said. “For years, we have been out of parking space, been out office space, been out of warehouse space, “he said. And a spacious showroom is another must, in addition to a test and training kitchen and meeting space, he said. They looked around the metro area for a few years with idea in mind of increasing exposure. But the park, ﬁnally, offered that exposure. “We actually get a lot more traffic than you’d think out here.”

ing carried out on the smaller site, about 2 acres of a 9.5-acre plot across from the 45-acre site on Highland Colony Parkway. It’s the so-called Phase 4 of Renaissance at Colonly Parkway. Dirt work is well underway for the station. “We feel that we’re in the right,” said Erich Brann, director of real estate for Costco in the southeastern United States. Brann said in a phone interview on Tuesday that the fueling stations have evolved

Mason Greene stands in what will become a spacious showroom in the new location.

The ﬁrm is not consolidating under one roof, he said. It has presence in Meridian, where it was founded 66 years ago, along with Gulfport, Memphis, Nashville and Tusca-

in the history of Costco. Not too many years ago, the Issaquah, Wash.-based chain felt that not having the stations was “not a deal killer,” Brann said. Then Costco realized how valuable they are in attracting people to the store, Brann said. They “deﬁnitely draw business to the warehouse.” The smaller piece of property is zoned C-3, “which is the appropriate zoning for a gas station,” he said. Homeowners – who have opposed the Costco Wholesale site since 2015, with its traffic and alleged disruption of the

loosa, plus a stainless-steel fabrication facility in Savannah, Tenn. All told, there are 212 employees. When he was in graduate school at Mississippi State University the students were discussing concepts such as mission and vision in one class. He asked his father what their business was all about in that regard, and his father responded that providing meaningful employment was the key. With the millennial generation making his mark in the work place, the new facility in Jackson will offer benefits such as a fitness room and options for desks that allow a worker to sit or stand at his or her desk. Diversity in the client base is a key – restaurants, hotels, health-care facilities, prisons – anything that offers food service. “Obviously, we face more online competition, with Amazon and other online players.” So e-commerce will be expanded to respond to that challenge, he said. “We’re large enough to compete with anybody on price, but we bring in a lot of additional service, such as helping a new restaurant set up. “We’re not architects or designers, but we help with the flow of the kitchen – from concept to completion.” Greene not only runs his company, but is also the chairman of the national Foodservice Equipment Distributors Association. He is father of a month-old son and two daughters, ages 6 and 2, so with family, company and association duties, Greene stays pretty busy. There has been a lot of consolidation in the industry, he said. He said there has been a lot of interest in his business in that regard, but “we really haven’t even explored that.” Besides, it’s not that he doesn’t have enough on his plate just now.

Work to upgrade Northpark theater starts; Rainbow Co-op reopens in mall By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com Work to transform the former UA Northpark 14 into a multi-screen theater that will have a bar area and reserved seating for power recliners has begun. The Northpark Mall, which bought the theater in September 2018, weighed options for best use of the property. It decided that an updated theater was the best option. United Development of Southlake, Texas, which had been the owner, had failed in efforts to sell it. Paciﬁc Retail Capital Partners of El Segundo, Calif., bought the mall in September 2016 from Simon Property Group, which built it in 1984. It completed a multi-million-dollar renovation in November 2018. The UA Northpark closed in January. The new theater will be the second one to open in Ridgeland. A Malco theater is under construction in the Renaissance at

Colony Park. It will be a six-screen operation and also feature a bar and reclining seats. It is expected to open this fall. Paul Farnsworth, B&B Theatres’ director of public relations, was quoted as saying that the Northpark theater will be fully renovated inside and out, with the addition of a bar area to be called the “Marquee Lounge.” Farnsworth said the facility is expected to open sometime in mid-2020. “This is the next step of our journey after completing the ﬁrst phase of redevelopment,” Northpark General Manager Kasey Dickson said in a news release. “B&B Theatres’ cutting-edge vision and contemporary design will complement the new Northpark perfectly,” Dickson said. B&B is headquartered in Liberty, Mo., and operates 400 screens at 50 locations in the nation, including the Vicksburg Mall 6. Another addition to the Northpark Mall list is the Rainbow Co-op, which had its grand opening Sept. 18. The co-op, which had been in Fondren

Afterward, the city of Ridgeland, “which has been working with many of our local vendors . . . , showed us several locations that met our needs,” the co-op said in a

post on its Facebook page. Christy Pender, marketing director and business development manager for the mall, said that the co-op ﬁts into Northpark’s strategy to work closely with the community when adding to its lineup of stores.

RECYCLING

Waste Management rebuts city on recycling; ﬁrms step into breach By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com

Waste Management of Mississippi Inc. adamantly denied in a recent prepared statement that any of the recyclable materials that it had picked up for the city of Jackson had ended up in the city landﬁll, contrary to statements attributed to the Jackson public works director. The city broke off its contract with Waste Management effective Sept. 1. “All curbside recyclable materials collected under the City of Jackson contract have ALWAYS been delivered to a permitted recycling facility,” the Waste Management statement continued. “Recyclable materials collected by Waste Management on behalf of the City were delivered, stored and shipped from a separate Waste Management recycling transfer building located on Country Club Drive in Jackson to the recycling facility.

“Until Sept. 1, the recyclable materials were delivered by Waste Management to Waste Management of Little Rock and a Recycling Facility in Shreveport, La. Prior to this arrangement, the materials were delivered to Fiber Vision Recycling in Sumrall, Miss. These recyclable materials were not landﬁlled. At no time during its contract with Waste Management did any City employee or official raise any concern with Waste Management over whether the recyclable materials were being handled properly.” Public Works Director Robert Miller was quoted in an article in the Jackson Free Press that some of the recyclable material was winding up in the landﬁll, with other solid waste. The article seemed to say that homeowners were at fault as well by mixing their garbage and recyclables. Miller said that the $96,000 a month the city was paying Waste Management for the recycling service would be better used by addressing

illegal dumping sites in the city. A call to Miller by the Mississippi Business Journal was not returned. The city posted on its website last month that Jackson is “one of hundreds of cities across the United States that have recently suspended their curbside recycling program as the market demand for recycled materials has diminished drastically.” The Atlantic Monthly magazine reported earlier this year: “For decades, we were sending the bulk of our recycling to China—tons and tons of it, sent over on ships to be made into goods such as shoes and bags and new plastic products. “But last year, the country restricted imports of certain recyclables, including mixed paper—magazines, office paper, junk mail—and most plastics. Waste-management companies across the country are telling towns, cities, and counties that there is no longer a market for their recycling.

These municipalities have two choices: pay much higher rates to get rid of recycling, or throw it all away.” The statement from the city of Jackson on its website states that “items such as hazardous waste, paint, electronics and cooking oils can still be recycled at the Environmental Service Center. Our drop-off facility is located at 1570 University Boulevard.” The Associated Press reported that “the halt on China’s imports of wastepaper and plastic that has disrupted U.S. recycling programs has also spurred investment in American plants that process recyclables. “ Among those that are beneﬁting from municipalities halting curbside pickups are two local ﬁrms. Door 2 Door Recycling offers pickups every other week. Information services and charges are on the company website, www. door2doorrecycling.com. EnvironMentality’s business is booming with the cessation of pickups by the city, said co-owner Karissa Bowley. Information may be obtained by going to the company website, environmentality. org, or by calling (601) 720-8728 or (601) 566-5739.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Songy starts new consulting ﬁrm after years with Gov. Bryant By ROSS REILY ross.reily@msbusiness.com

After seven years with Gov. Phil Bryant — the last three-and-a-half as his chief of staff — Joey Songy has begun a strategy and business development ﬁrm — Songy LLC. His insight of years of working with people through government, Songy says outside of politics, partisanship and party, business and government tend to relate to each other in much the same way everywhere and that transparency is the key to it being effective. “What I will be providing to a relatively small group of companies is strategic advice and business development services,” said Songy, whose last day with Bryant’s office was August 31. “I will be doing a lot of what I have been doing on the inside for so many years — economic development. “Bringing that to the private sector is something I have thought about for a long time. … From the position that I have had and the way that I have seen the executive branch, and the legislative branch for that matter, I want to be able to help navigate

some of those things for companies and businesses.” While counsel and policy adviser, his portfolio included tax policy, economic development, public ﬁnance, revenue, workforce, and technology. He was recently appointed by the White House to the Intergovernmental Policy Advisory Commit-

tee on Trade to represent state and local governments. With this new business, Songy says he will be more of a strategy and business development adviser to companies — among them, Butler Snow — and their leadership, rather than a lobbyist. “The distinction being that I will be

helping the companies with issues and setting out a process and a strategy for them to do it effectively” Songy said. “We will take the opportunity to work with their legal team and lobbying and government relations team that they already have in place.” Prior to joining Bryant’s administration, Songy practiced law in Purvis, Mississippi, where he founded the Songy Law Firm. He is on the board of directors for Mississippi EdNet and Mississippi Telehealth Association. In 2016, Songy received the Top 50 under 40 from the Mississippi Business Journal and the Top 50 award from Mississippi Top 50. Songy is a 2007 graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration. He earned his law degree in 2010 from the University of Mississippi. Songy and his wife, Kate, live in Madison and they have one child, Joseph.

MSU research & technology non-proﬁt out to elevate innovation in Starkville’s downtown By TED CARTER mbj@msbusiness.com

The move of tech data company Babel Street Inc. onto the third floor of Starkville’s Cadence Bank building marks the official start of a Mississippi State University non-profit corporation’s efforts to energize downtown technological innovation. Cadence, a regional bank formerly headquartered in Starkville, will remain in the first two floors of the 33,000 square-foot downtown landmark at 301 W. Main Street for another couple years. The Atlanta-based Cadence is constructing a new building on Russell Street behind Comfort Suites, said Dr. Julie Jordan, interim director of the MSU Research and Technology Corp., a non-profit entity established to promote, develop and administer enterprises arising from scientific o technological innovation. “We’re not rushing them out,” Jordan said. “They’re still our best tenant.” Plans are under way for revamping the space after Cadence vacates. The space could go to new creative enterprises or to current tenants of the 272-acre Thad Cochran Research and Technology Park just north of campus. Jordan estimates the revamp will cost the MSU Research and Technology Corp. about $2 million. A non-disclosure agreement with Cadence prevents Jordan from disclosing the amount the non-profit entity paid for the three-story building. However, the Oktibbeha County Property Appraiser’s Office assessed the nearly 40-year-old building’s

MSU Cadence Bank Building in downtown Starkville.

Nearly 50 years after Coca-Cola sought to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, Starkville data tech company Babel Street Inc. is out to fulfill an equally ambitious goal. Babel Street wants to help the world make sense of the 2.5 quintillion bytes of data it produces each day and will employ all of the world’s major languages to do it. Chief Technology Officer Shon Myatt said no one else can do that, at least in employing the dozens of major languagMyatt es to analyze data mined from more than 20 of the major world languages. Babel Street, not to be confused with the unrelated language software company Babbel, has been a Starkville fixture the past few years, but this is its first time as a downtown resident, the company having cut the ribbon on 8,750 square feet space of space on the third floor of the Cadence Bank building at 301 W.

A doubling of workers to 35 people comes with the move, Babel Street said. They will handle technical development, it said. Myatt said Babel Street has some competitors “at the feature level with software.” But, he insisted, “No one has been able to catch us in searching for data and turning it into actionable knowledge.” The search capabilities of the nearly decade-old Babel Street can analyze search results for “sentiment” in 33 languages. That number is expected to grow to 55 by year end. “A number of markets need that,” Myatt said of the massive searches and the analysis that follows. Businesses with an international focus use the data accessed in the multiple languages to protect their brands around the world. With the analytics from Babel

sity says it can move ahead with Phase II of the Research and Technology Park, providing additional space for expanding companies wanting to remain in this market and also attracting startup businesses. The MSU non-proﬁt’s Entrepreneur Center and Idea Shop have leased space downtown. Jordan said she sees the addition of the former Cadence building, anchored by international data analysis company Babel Street, signiﬁcantly strengthening a downtown spirit of innovation. The newly purchased building, she said, will be an innovation hub and will bring new entrepreneurial energy downtown. “Starkville is vibrant,” said Jordan, who has been in her interim post for a couple of months and been with MSU for 13 years. “At night, the streets are just as full as in the day time,” she said of activity at bars, restaurants and retail stores. For tenants, the Technology and Research Center wants “companies that can

have real synergies with the university,” and it especially wants enterprises that “host our students as interns or hire our graduate students.” MSU Research and Technology Corp. oversees and manages the technology park property and its downtown holdings much like a commercial real estate company would, according to Jordan. Lease rates to tenants must be sufficient to cover property expenses and operating costs, she said. “It’s all self-run,” she said, and noted money also comes to the center through grants and private-sector contributions. No university money is used, she said, though in some instances, the university has sold property to the non-proﬁt entity and is leasing it back. The park has about 40 acres available for lease. Jordan said the park expects to grow its building count to help draw “new and See INNOVATION, Page 7

attractive companies in the region.” The center has latitude to invest in ventures doing business in the park but has not yet done so. “It’s something we have looked at and are considering,” Jordan said. All of Mississippi’s main universities – MSU, Ole Miss and University of Southern Mississippi University – are working to leverage the knowledge of faculty and innovative mind set of students. “Universities as a whole have a lot of native energies in their student bodies,” Jordan said, and added faculty has been a key to success in the endeavors. At Mississippi State, a board reviews the ideas and expertise of candidates for tenancy in the Research and Technology Park. “We’re looking for companies that can create synergies with the university,” Jordan said. “For example,” she added, “C Spire has a data center in the research park.” This arrangement gives tenants access to a vital C Spire data loop that terminates in the park. “This creates high-speed data-sharing capacities,” Jordan said. With a tap-in to the data loop, “C Spire will co-locate your server right in the

building,” she added. Then there’s Orion, the MVP of the Research and Technology Park’s High Performance Computing Center. No wonder. Orion is the fourth-fastest super computer system of all U.S. universities, ac-

cording to Jordan. “It’s a great addition to our computing capabilities,” she said. “It is being used 24/7 by our researchers.” It’s also gets a lot of use from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Department of Agricul-

ture. The park landed the high-speed computer in 1990 after winning a grant in a National Science Foundation competition. “That is why we actually created the park,” Jordan said. The super computer operation has paid its own way since 2001, according to the High Performance Computing Collaboratory at Mississippi State, a coalition of seven independent research centers/institutes created to support computational science and engineering using high-performance computing. “We have always been in the top 150” of ranking for super-fast computers, Jordan said. “We got above the 100-mark 10 years ago.” Today, Orion fluctuates as fifth or sixth fastest, Jordan said. What about those empty 40 acres? “I see us expanding and building new research institutes and finding new and attractive companies” to bring in, she said. And downtown Starkville? That involves continuing to develop the partnership with the city, Jordan said. The other task, she said, “Is to find more ways to move our research and innovation downtown.”

Street, businesses can get a fix on what people in each country are writing and saying about them. Attitudes, emotions and intentions of the people in each selected country are crucial to the analysis, Babel Street says. “We sort it out,” Myatt said. “It really boils down to brand management.” For instance, the National Football League can find how attitudes toward and perceptions of American professional football are developing in countries such as the United Kingdom, Mexico and Japan, all of which are marketing targets for the league and its games. The NFL monitors its brand through Babel, Myatt added. Governments are also clients, the company says, and hire Babel for security-related data analysis. But why Starkville as its center for innovation, the place where the new ideas are expected to come from? One reason is the Mississippi roots of Myatt, an Amory native, and founder Jeffrey Chapman, a Starkville native. “He wanted to give to his hometown,” Myatt said of Chapman, a U.S. Naval Academy alum with a master’s degree in public policy from Harvard and an MBA in finance from the University of Virginia. Access to Mississippi State University’s Research Technology Center and its pool of technology savvy students, grads and faculty influenced Chapman’s decision as well. “We greatly value our roots here in Starkville, Mississippi, both home and heritage to many on our team,” Chapman said in a press release last week announcing Babel Street’s move out of MSU’s Thad Cochran Research, Technology & Economic Development Park. Babel Street is headquartered in metro Washington, D.C. In addition to Starkville, it has offices in London and Canberra, Australia. It employs 120 people. “When choosing a new space to make room for the significant growth we’ve experienced, it was incredibly important for us to remain in Starkville and as an integral part of the local tech economy,” Chapman said. “Given our close partnership with MSU across departments, their latest downtown facility was the perfect fit for us. The move represents an exciting new wave of innovation and our continued commitment to providing

organizations across the globe with knowledge unbound by location or language.” Mississippi State University landed a major tenant for its downtown location and Starkville gained a company with a worldwide reach. “The Babel Street innovation center is an ideal tenant for our new building,” said David R. Shaw, provost and executive vice president at MSU, in a press statement. Shaw said Babel is at the forefront of cross-lingual search and text analytics technology and data analysis. It’s “literally leveraging that technology to make the world a better place,” he said. Privately held, Babel Street declined to reveal its capitalization level or revenues. However, Myatt noted, its expansions and doubling of its workforce reflect its fiscal strength. “In terms of headcount, we’ve grown about 100 percent year over year for the last four years,” he said. One of its launches, Babel for Business, uses analytical software tailored to each commercial client, according to Myatt. With Babel Street for Business, clients can view and pull data that fits their own proprietary data set, he said. For instance, take a company that wants to monitor its brand. “They’ll spend most of their time trying to find the right data,” Myatt said, estimating this consumes about 80 percent of time spent on the entire effort. Babel gets hired because it mines the data for the client. “Finding the

right data is hard,” Myatt said. “That is really what we do.” Now, the client can spend 80 percent of its time analyzing the data instead of searching for it, the chief technology officer said. Myatt said Babel spent about three years developing the platform and software that are the backbone of its enterprise. It’s been on the market for about seven years, he said. “The first problem? How do we break the language barrier to do search and discovery?” Then came the job of figuring out how to apply the data set, Myatt said. “The third thing was to get into one streamlined user interface.” From there, came the addition of “dark Web” data and a mobile app. Much of Babel’s current focus is on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning “to continue to enhance our existing products,” Myatt said. “Machine Learning” is a term the digital world applies to the process of developing ways to access data and apply algorithms to the data. Done correctly, actionable knowledge is gained. Babel Street is getting really good at doing this, Myatt said. Myatt expects that in five years, Babel Street should be a single platform to monitor and analyze a brand. That would include alerts to clients indications of tainting of the brand are found worldwide. “You can look for us to keep going and running this train,” he said.

8 Q Mississippi Business Journal Q Sept. 21 - Oct. 4, 2019 GOVERNMENT/POLITICS

The one 2019 U.S. Supreme Court opinion to read P

rior to the start of their 2019 summer recess, the nine Justices on the Supreme Court of the United States released the last of their 72 merit opinions. The opinions both affirmed and deﬁed ideological stereotype. SCOTUSblog’s crackerjack Final Stat Pack sorts and analyzes the rulings. Of the 72 opinions, 28 (39%) were unanimous. On 20 occasions (28%), the Court split 5-4, but the divisions failed to toe the expected party line. Eight of those splits resulted from Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Ben Williams Gorsuch or Kavanagh crossing the suppositious aisle to form out-of-the-blue 5-4 majorities with the four liberal justices. Everyone should read at least one opinion from each term. But which one?

The Runners-up The runners-up of my choices of opinions to read from the 2018-2019 term are: 1. Weyerhaeuser v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is a digestible opinion concerning the dusky gopher frog that “secretes a bitter, milky substance to deter would-be diners.” Though found only in Mississippi, the federal agency charged with protecting the endangered amphibians designated privately-owned land in Louisiana as a “critical habitat.” The warted critter had been spotted there as recently as, well, 1965. In an 8-0 ruling for the aggrieved landowner, Chief Justice Roberts delivered a basic grammar lesson: “According to the ordinary understanding of how adjectives work, a ‘critical habitat’ must also be a ‘habitat.’” Ouch.

2. Timbs v. Indiana reaffirms the elasticity of the 14th Amendment. The Starsky & Hutch-ish facts involve a drug pusher pushing heroin on an undercover narc and the seizure of a pricey Land Rover. Think excessive ﬁne and the 8th Amendment. But the Indiana Supreme Court judiciously observed the “Supreme Court has never held that States are subject to the Excessive Fines Clause.” Smugly, in a 9-0 disquisition authored by Justice Notorious RBG, the Court announced (for the ﬁrst time) that, of course, the 8th Amendment applied to the States through the 14th Amendment. Don your coif before reading this opinion as the Magna Carta garners twelve mentions. 3. Herrera v Wyoming tracks a Montana hunter who crossed into Wyoming and, out of season and sans a state hunting license, slaughtered an elk. The poacher argued that his membership in the Crow Tribe (in Montana) gave him hunting rights (in Wyoming) under an 1868 treaty. Citing a seem-

FORD WILLIAMS

ingly on-point 1896 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the Wyoming state appellate court held that Wyoming’s 1890 statehood negated any such treaty rights. In a 5-4 opinion by Justice Sotomayor, with Gorsuch joining the four liberal justices, the Court performed a precedent-defying Indian dance to preserve the treaty and exonerate the hunter. 4. Franchise Tax Board of California v. Hyatt may be my favorite abortion case because it is not about abortion and doesn’t mention Roe v. Wade. Justice Thomas, speaking for the ﬁve conservatives in a tax collection case, dissed an injudicious 1979 precedent on state sovereignty: “Stare decisis does not compel continued adherence to this erroneous precedent.” Justice Breyer, on behalf of the four liberals, delivered the minority’s dissent and a harbinger tagline: “Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next.” Opinions on Double Jeopardy, the Peace Cross, Regulatory Takings, the Dormant Commerce Clause, Scandalous Trademarks, Tennessee Wine, and the Census all piqued my interest but failed to make the ﬁnal cut.

The one opinion to read My choice of one opinion to read from the term is … Rucho v. Common Clause. Gerrymandering? Yes, but hold on. The gerrymandering issue is a sideshow for something bigger. Rucho involves outrageously partisan gerrymandered congressional districting maps

in two states: amusingly, the maps in Maryland were rigged by the Democrats, while the Republicans put the ﬁx on the North Carolina maps. The aggrieved parties (Democrats in N.C. and Republicans in Md.) claimed violations of multiple constitutional provisions, including even the First Amendment. The two soon-to-be-rebuffed U.S. District Courts found clear constitutional violations.

The Ruling In a far-reaching 5-4 ruling, with the conservatives outvoting the liberals, the Supremes proclaimed the federal judiciary lacked jurisdiction to hear a PARTISAN gerrymandering claim, no matter how politically offensive the facts. Justice Roberts recited the long history of gerrymandering, including how, in 1812, Mass. Gov. and soon-to-be U.S. Vice President Elbridge GERRY approved a misshaped district that resembled a salaMANDER. The Court noted the “Framers addressed the election of Representatives to Congress in the Elections Clause” of the Constitution and “assign[ed] to state legislatures the power to prescribe the Time, Place and Manner of Holding Elections,” while reserving unto Congress the power to “make or alter” such proscriptions. Channeling the late Justice Scalia, the Chief quoted from a 2004 gerrymandering opinion: “‘[i]t is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say

what the law is.’ [] Sometimes, however, the law is that the judicial department has no business entertaining the claim of unlawfulness—because the question is entrusted to one of the political branches or involves no judicially enforceable rights.” The Court suggested aggrieved partisans seek amendment of state laws, state constitutions, and federal law – as contemplated by the U.S. Constitution. The Court retained rights to hear select election cases, such as “one man, one vote” controversies and even RACIAL gerrymandering claims. Justice Kagan expressed her considerable displeasure in a blistering dissent, parts of which she read from the bench. Rucho is about judicial restraint and the unwillingness of the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the federal judiciary to overstep it bounds. While perhaps unappreciated by the losers, such deference respects the roles of the co-equal branches of the federal government and the sovereign states. This case serves as a timely reminder that the U.S. Constitution neither protects all that is good nor prohibits all that is bad. And that the federal court system is not a one-stop shop to right all perceived wrongs.

REVITALATION

$28.7 million plan for Greenville courthouse approved By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com A plan for a new U.S. District Courthouse in Greenville has gotten approval from the federal General Services Administration. The $28.7 million, 55,000-square-foot project will be built on Washington Avenue in downtown, with construction to start in the spring and completion expected for the fall of 2022, said Jackson architect Roy Decker, whose ﬁrm, Duvall and Decker, submitted the winning bid. It will replace one built in 1960 that has become outdated and inefficient. The architecture of that era does not lend itself to rehabilitation, only replacement, unlike older more-substantially constructed structures, said Decker, who is co-lead designer with Steve Dumez of Eskew Dumez Ripple of New Orleans. The new courthouse complex will lend itself to an ongoing downtown revitalization of the river city, whose current population of 34,000 is far from its peak of 48,000, said Daniel Boggs, chief executive of Main Street Greenville. “It’s huge for us, not only because of the economic impact, but also because it’s going into the area that is almost the heart of our revitalization effort,” Boggs said in an interview. “Like many communities back in the ‘70s and ‘80s all the stores started moving out to the highway, leaving a lot of vacancies downtown.”

It was not a given that the court would stay in Greenville, which had been known as the Queen City, known for its economic dominance in the Delta, as well as a literary tradition far beyond its size, with writers such as Left: interior courtroom, right: exterior of building. newspaperman Hodding Carter Jr., novelist and historian Shelby Foote, William Alexander Percy and others. “At one point, there was an attempt to move the court to Cleveland,” Decker said in an interview. When Debra Brown was conﬁrmed in 2013 as judge for the Greenville subdistrict of the Northern District she was concerned about the poor security of the building. But then Sen. Thad Cochran authored a bill for a new courthouse in Greenville, which was approved by Congress, Decker said. Percy’s memoir, “Lanterns on the Levee: Recollections

of Planter’s Son,” serves as an inspiration in the design of the complex, said Decker. “The facted glass and wood courthouse structure is also a ‘lantern on the levee’ like the lights carried during night inspections of the system of berms designed to control ﬂood waters. “This parallel has served as an inspiration to the design team,” the ﬁrm said in a release. “The illuminated watch protected the community in the same way that the judicial system protects society by maintaining the rule of law.”

Predatory vs. preposterous policies at play in Mississippi?

hoosing to appease the insatiable desires of grasping businesses and consumers, politicians spew ever more promiscuous policies from our nation’s capital. As noted in recent columns, hindrances to unscrupulous businesses preying on consumers are diminishing while preposterous promises of succor to consumers are expanding. Predatory practices are the dark side of Republican pro-business policies on the one hand while preposterous promises are the dark side of Democratic pro-consumer policies on the other. Regrettably, there is no third gripping hand present to yank the other two back from intemperance. These dichotomies will be great theater throughout the presidential election next year. But will promiscuous predatory and preposterous policies be in play in the Mississippi gubernatorial election now through Nov. 6? Certainly, but to what degree? No question Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves is the pro-business candidate and Attorney General Jim Hood is the pro-consumer candidate. For example, Reeves has championed tax cuts for business, passing $620 million in such cuts during his tenure as lieutenant governor. Hood has now proposed cutting the sales taxes on gro-

ceries, the state’s biggest tax on consumers, and has championed consumer issues as attorney general. Let’s look deeper. BILL CRAWFORD As I wrote two weeks ago, one of the more egregious examples of Washington policies allowing businesses to prey on consumers was the Trump administration rollback of protections established to make payday loans less onerous. “Payday lenders have a predatory business model where they proﬁt while families are plunged into an unaffordable debt trap of loans at rates that reach 400 percent APR or higher,” CNBC said. In 2016, the Mississippi Legislature under Reeves’ leadership loosened rate restrictions on payday lenders, in particular allowing them to charge up to 263.4% in ﬁnance charges on some 30-day loans. Mississippi’s Catholic Bishops called such rates “predatory.” As I wrote last week, Democratic presidential candidates are making preposterous promises to provide free or reduced costs for higher education, from making college and See CRAWFORD, Page 13

oncerns about e-cigarette products continue to grow based on data showing a huge jump in vaping by young people. Now the data has hit a chord in our home state. The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) recently reported that two additional cases of a vaping-related lung illness have been identified, bringing the state total to three and one death. Nationwide, 530 cases of lung illness and eight deaths have been reported. “This is a very serious concern, and one that is unfolding every day,” said MSDH State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers. “While we know that many of the cases in the US report vaping cannabis products, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), some have reported only vaping nicotine products. There is still a lot that we don’t know about what is making these people sick.” It’s true. Even with federal officials acting quickly to try to determine the exact cause of the illness, we cannot afford to wait. The number of teenagers vaping is increasing – 3.6 million last year, compared with 2.1 million in 2017. Parents, teachers, and counselors need to talk to kids and teens about the dangers of vaping. Those already addicted to the nicotine or marijuana-infused products used in e-cigarette devices need help to stop using. White House officials said earlier this month that they propose a ban on most flavored e-cigarettes, a development that could result in extensive changes in the widespread market. Last Friday, Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, said it will stop selling electronic cigarettes in the U.S. when it sells out its current inventory. Target stopped selling cigarette products in 1996 citing it cost too much to try and keep them out of the hands of minors. In 2014, CVS Health announced its decision to stop selling cigarettes in all CVS Pharmacy stores, making the company the first national pharmacy chain to take this step in support of the health of its patients and customers. Responsible for 480,000 deaths a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, e-cigarette products are proving not to be a healthier alternative to smoking cigarettes as marketed by the nicotine industry. These highly addictive nicotine products are trapping our next generation in a cycle of addiction that is difficult to break. Despite all the data and all the warnings, people still choose to use these products. According to Mississippi’s regulations as of June 15, 2019, e-cigarettes: • Are not included in any section of statutes included in the definition of “Tobacco Products,” though it is defined as an “electronic cigarette.” • Have no state excise or special tax (non-sales tax) placed on them. • Have no regulations in place for packaging. • Ban sale and distribution to persons under 18; internet sales require third-party verification. • Require no retail license or permit to sell. • Have no smoke-free restrictions for use, though more than 50 localities in the state have vaping bans that include bars and restaurants. Some states are taking the matter into their own hands. Michigan’s governor announced on Sept. 4 the state would move toward banning flavored e-cigarettes, while New York officially became the first state to institute a ban when regulators approved a set of emergency rules on the 17th. Our state lawmakers need to follow suit and sound the alarm on teen vaping and tobacco use with legislation that will impose restrictions on the products and attempt to curb youth access. This hasn’t happened somewhere else now – it’s happened at home. Lawmakers need to respond.

Hood has called for a state-funded program that would provide tuition-free community college to Mississippi’s high school graduates. Hmmm. Reeves’ position on payday lenders matches that coming from Washington Republicans. Hood’s position on free tuition sounds similar to Washington Democrats, but there is a difference. Hood’s proposal closely resembles a Republican proposal put forward by state Rep. Jerry Turner of Baldwyn that passed the GOP controlled House in 2014. (It was killed in Reeves’ Senate.) It also resembles the “Tennessee Promise” program championed by Tennessee Republicans in 2014. While revealing, this “promiscuous policy” analogy is not the only perspective voters may consider. For example, Reeves has taken a more pro-consumer stance on gas taxes than Hood. Reeves has said that under no circumstances will he increase gas taxes to pay for roads and bridges. Hood has said he will consider doing so as a last resort. Nevertheless, the Washington analogy will take center stage when President Trump and/or his disciples show up to tout Reeves and his allegiance to their policies. “Remember this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously,” 2 Cor 9:6. » Bill Crawford (crawfolk@gmail.com) is a syndicated columnist from Meridian.

Looking for wine? Let’s give Mississippi convenience and choices

id you know that 38 states currently allow the sale of wine in grocery stores? Unfortunately, Mississippi is not one of them because our alcohol laws are undoubtedly antiquated. As the newly appointed chair of Looking for Wine?, a coalition of consumers and businesses building support for the passage of legislation to allow wine sales in grocery stores in currently wet counties and municipalities, I implore you to consider this advocacy issue from a business, economic development, consumer and tax revenue perspective. Like all of our neighboring states, allowing wine sales in grocery stores would give consumers more choices on where to buy their wine and offer convenience to people who want to buy wine for dinner while they are shopping for groceries. This legislation also would increase state revenue through additional wine sales, while also reducing losses incurred from people driving across nearby state lines to shop for food and wine at the same store. Speciﬁcally, here are more reasons why grocery store wine sales make sense: » 76% of U.S. states now allow grocery store wine sales, including all of our border states of Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana and Arkansas. » It will create an average of 800 to 1,000 new jobs in Mississippi, with an estimated economic impact of $18 million to

$20 million in additional tax revenue. » This additional revenue can be used to address important funding needs, such as roads and bridges across the state or any additional costs the law change could create for Alcohol Beverage Control, the regulatory agency for alcohol distribution in Mississippi. » The United States economy is built on the concept of free-market competition, which beneﬁts consumers and pushes business innovation. Few things improve customer service and product offerings more than fair competition. Providing convenience and choice for consumers is a key

factor driving this initiative. » Grocery stores are already trained and prepared to strictly enforce the law when it comes to prohibiting alcohol sales to people under 21 because they are currently competently enforcing the law for beer sales. » Allowing grocery stores to sell wine will not run liquor stores out of business. Under the new law, retail package stores will still be the only place to buy distilled spirits and wines not sold in the grocery store. Many wine drinkers will prefer to continue going to their favorite liquor stores for wine, especially if they are looking for spe-

cialty wines or if wine is the only item they are shopping for. The claim about a negative impact on mom-and-pop (or independently owned) liquor stores was clearly debunked in TennesElliott Flaggs see, where roughly 170 additional liquor store licenses have been granted since July 2017 when grocery stores there started selling wine. Looking for Wine? needs a concerted, galvanized effort at the grassroots level to express to lawmakers that this is a nonpartisan issue that a majority of Mississippians over the age of twenty-one support that will simultaneously give thousands of consumers choice and convenience. More importantly, this legislation does not require any tax increase and will provide an additional source of state revenue. Lastly, this is common sense legislation that we encourage all of our state legislators to support during the 2020 Mississippi Legislative Session.

Congressional report the place to start with Mississippi brain drain

rain drain is not a recent phenomenon. It was mentioned by candidate Bill Waller in his successful campaign for governor in June 1971. He referred to it as “talent drain.” What is new is how some states and communities are addressing it. The first place to get up to speed is a Congressional report, “Losing Our Minds: Brain Drain across the United States,” United States Joint Economic Committee Report dated April 24, 2019. Some highlights – The report measured brain drain in each state. It examined those who left states and those who stayed. It defined a highly educated “leaver” as someone in the top third of the national education distribution who resides in a state other than their birth state between the ages of 31 and 40. The report presented the data in terms of gross brain drain and net brain drain. Gross brain drain is defined as the share of those departing who are highly educated minus the share of adults who remain in their birth state who are highly educated. For example, if there were 1,000 “leavers” and 400 “stayers”, then the gross brain drain would be 600. That figure is important, but it doesn’t take into account that there may be some highly educated workers who move into the state. Thus, we have net brain drain, which is defined as the share of leavers who are highly educated minus the share of entrants to a state who are highly educated. So if there were 1,000 leavers, but 200 new highly educated workers, the net brain drain would be 800. A bit complicated, but useful as a measure. Readers are encouraged to go to the fully interactive version of the online report to make their own evaluations. It’s at https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/republi-

cans/2019/4/losing-our-minds-brain-drain-across-theunited-states#top The report showed that in Mississippi in 1970 the excess of highly educated movers over highly educated stayers was 1.24. In 1980, that number increased to 1.87. In 1990, the number had increased to 4.63, and by 2017 had skyrocketed to 16.69. Add to that fact that there was net-emigration in the state during the past 10 years. And it’s not just Mississippi. In 2017, Alabama’s rate was 16.96, Louisiana’s was 13.71, Arkansas’s was 8.46, and Tennessee’s was 14.03. Again, those are the gross numbers. How do the net numbers, i.e. the addition of highly educated adults into the workforce, affect those states? Alabama’s net excess of highly educated share of movers over highly educated share of entrants in 2017 was 13.3, Louisiana’s was 2.4, Arkansas’s was 5.52, Tennessee’s was 2.1, and Mississippi’s was 13.53. So what are Mississippi and its communities to do? Although the state should customize its own strategy, it is useful to consider what some other places are doing to keep residents and attract new ones. Michigan is using a marketing strategy, Choose Michigan, to extol the beneﬁts of working and living – and staying – in Michigan. Baltimore offers a $5,000 payment to put towards buying a home anywhere in Baltimore City. The Baltimore City Employee Homeownership Incentive gives city employees up to $5,000 for buying a home. Marquette, Kansas offers free plots of land in a certain area. To qualify for the free land, new owners must agree to build a home on the land within one year, and commit to living there for at least a year after the home is completed.

Lincoln, Nebraska also offered free land, “…to the first 21 qualified applicants who agree to build homes which comply with city requirements.” Harmony, Minnesota is offering a cash rebate ranging from $5,000 to $12,000 for building a new home in Harmony. Vermont is offering $10,000 to peoPhil Hardwick ple who move there to work remotely. Tulsa, Oklahoma is also attracting remote workers with a $10,000 bonus to first 100 people to move there. Maine is offering a tax credit to help college graduates who relocate there repay their college loans. And it’s not just in Mississippi or even the United States for that matter. Montreal and Quebec, which lose graduates to large Canadian cities, are making college financial aid contingent on graduates’ staying put and offering startup funding to entrepreneurs, among other things. Are any of these right for Mississippi or any of its communities? We will see. One that seems to be on everyone’s mind is high-speed internet. Mississippi has the second lowest internet speeds in the country. That problem is being addressed by authorizing rural cooperatives to offer broadband. In Kentucky, economic developers and other community leaders are betting that broadband is the key to addressing the loss of so many coal-related jobs in the region. Finally, Brain Drain is not just a Mississippi phenomenon. It is nationwide. Many observers frame it as a rural vs urban issue. But it is more than that. There are rural places that are not losing highly educated people. And there is a small, but growing movement of people who want to get away from urban areas. The first step in dealing with the issue is learning about it. And right now, the Congressional report is the best place to begin. » Phil Hardwick is a regular Mississippi Business Journal columnist.

Elections don’t always run according to calendar

lections usually end when the calendar says they should, but sometimes they go into overtime. In one Mississippi Senate race on the Gulf Coast, a Republican primary that started in August won’t be resolved until the Nov. 5 general election because a judge ordered a new round of voting in a few precincts. In another Senate district that stretches from the Delta down into the Jackson suburbs, the race could remain in limbo after the general election because the district itself is the subject of a court ﬁght that will carry over into next year. And if nobody wins a clear majority of votes for governor or other statewide offices, those races could extend into January, when the Legislature is back in session. The Mississippi Constitution says that to win a race for statewide office, a candidate must receive a majority of the popular vote and must win in a majority of 122 state House districts. If nobody achieves those two things, the race is decided in the state House.

Mississippi is the only state with this kind of multipronged requirement to become governor. The state’s 1890 constitution was written when the white politicians across the South were enacting laws to erase black political power that had been gaining during Reconstruction. With multiple candidates running for governor in 1999, neither Democratic Lt. Gov. Ronnie Musgrove nor Republican former U.S. Rep. Mike Parker received more than 50 percent of the popular vote. Musgrove and Parker, who are white, each won 61 House districts. The governor’s race was decided in January 2000 by what was then the Democratic-controlled House. Musgrove won, with some representatives saying they voted for him because he had received more of the popular vote than Parker. The legislative district that’s the subject of a court ﬁght is Senate District 22, which stretches from predominantly poor and African-American parts of the Delta into some affluent and mostly white parts of Madison County, just north of Jackson.

African American plaintiffs sued the state in July 2018, saying District 22 was 51 percent black but lacked “real electoral opportunity” for black voters to elect a candidate of their choice. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves agreed in February, and legislators redrew District 22 and an adjoining district in March, swapping some precincts to increase the black voting age population to 58 percent in District 22. Candidates qualiﬁed to run in the newly composed District 22. On Aug. 1, three judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Reeves’ ruling, but state attorneys asked the full appeals court to consider the case. The appeals court said last week that arguments are tentatively set for the week of Jan. 20. The Nov. 5 ballot, meanwhile, will list two candidates in District 22 — former Sen. Joseph Thomas, who is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit; and Republican Hayes Dent. Both have ties to Yazoo City. The unﬁnished Republican primary is in Senate District 50 in Harrison County.

Biloxi City Councilwoman Dixie Newman originally was certiﬁed as the winner by a single vote over state Rep. Scott Delano. He challenged the results, and a judge ordered a new round of voting in the Emily Wagster Pettus ﬁve precincts that are split between District 50 and another Senate district. People who voted in the District 50 Democratic primary in August are prohibited from voting in this Republican primary do-over. The District 50 winner will be determined by adding the votes cast Nov. 5 with the votes cast in August in precincts that are not split. Because no other candidates are running, the Republican primary winner will get the four-year term. Both of the Senate races will replace incumbents who didn’t run this year.

AN MBJ FOCUS: Insurance & Employee Beneﬁts

Business interruption can spell doom without proper insurance By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com What happens when you have to close your business for a period of time to have repairs done after insured events such as fire, water damage, theft, hail, a hurricane, a tornado or other disasters? Closing even for a few days can greatly disrupt income for the business that still has to pay its employees, the rent, utilities and other expenses. Business interruption might be a bigger risk than many people realize. A large global insurance company, Allianz, publishes an annual ranking of what risk exec- Derivaux utives worldwide view as the top business risks. “For several years business interruption has been ranked as the top business risk,” said Robertson Chair of Insurance Andre P. Liebenberg, Ph.D., University of Mississippi. “The simplest context for business interruption losses is when a firm suffers physical damage to its property and is no longer [able] to sell its products or provide its services. This is why the business interruption risk is particularly important in areas subject to natural catastrophes.” It doesn’t even have to be the type of disaster the physically impacts the facility. Cyber attacks and ransomware can also result in substantial income losses. “The less obvious context is when a firm’s business is interrupted because of something that happens to other firms such as key suppliers or customers,” Liebenberg said. “This is often referred to as ‘contingent business interruption’. Regardless of the source of the interruption, closures or reductions in sales can have particularly severe consequences for small firms that may not have the reputational or financial capital that is necessary to absorb the losses.” Another important issue, Liebenberg said, is when large income losses occur, firms may end up losing what is arguably their most important asset - their employees. His suggestions for shopping for business interruption insurance is via an agent or broker who can identify and evaluate loss exposures, find appropriate insurance solutions and recommend ways to reduce or prevent losses.

Many years ago, business interruption insurance was a separate policy. Now, the coverage is typically bundled into one business package policy, said State Farm Insurance Agent Preston Derivaux, president of Derivaux Insurance Agency Inc. in Jackson. “Most insurance companies today offer the business income coverage together with other property and casualty coverages as one business owners policy,” Derivaux said. “Business insurance is complicated, especially business interruption insurance. The best way to shop for coverage is to contact a local insurance agency and schedule an appointment. Having a face-to-face discussion is important as business insurance can be very complex and no one situation or business is the same. It would not be a bad idea to contact two or three different agencies to compare rates and coverage. Again, the face-to-face conversation is very important.” Failure to have the proper business interruption coverage can potentially put someone out of business. It not only affects the business, but employees, as well. The last thing an employer wants is lose experienced employees. “If your business is not able to rebound or re-open timely, then you’re at risk losing valuable long-term employees,” he said. Nearly all businesses might need to consider business interruption insurance, but Derivaux said it is particularly important for restaurants, retail stores, offices, clinics, service providers, drug stores, dry cleaners and laundromats, barber shops and salons, auto services and other service-related businesses. “The list goes on and on, but really any business that could suffer lost revenue because the business is temporarily closed or suspended due to an insured claim should have coverage,” Derivaux said. Business in disaster prone areas, in particular, can beneﬁt from the coverage. The magnitude of business interruption losses in disaster-prone areas like the Mississippi Gulf Coast can be much more severe. “When a hurricane strikes, it could cause a business to be closed for months and months,” Derivaux said. Even abnormally cold weather can trigger major damage. Derivaux once had a dental office client suffer a major loss due to frozen pipes. The water pipes in the ceiling burst and water damaged the entire clinic.

“The practice had significant loss of income as it had to close for several days,” he said. “By having the business interruption coverage, they were able to re-open within just a few days. The extra expense feature of the business interruption coverage enabled them to rent special equipment to mitigate the water damage, and they were also able to rent generators to provide power since the electrical system in the building suffered water damage as well. The practice was also compensated for the loss of income. Without the business income coverage, they would have suffered a huge financial loss.” Not only do most business interruption polices provide coverage for loss of income, but many business interruption policies provide an additional benefit called extra expense coverage. This is coverage for the extra expenses the business incurs in order to mitigate revenue losses that result from partial or total shutdowns of the business during the time needed to repair or replace damaged property. “Usually the extra expense coverage reimburses the business for reasonable repair expenses, over and beyond normal operating costs,” Derivaux said. “An example would be if you had to relocate your business temporarily because of a fire. The Extra Expense coverage could pay for the extra rent at the temporary location. Again, the primary purpose of the extra expense coverage is to help mitigate business interruption losses. As an added feature, some policies even reimburse payroll expenses for 90 days following the date of the covered loss. This feature is sometimes added because extra expense coverage is not typically designed for normal operating costs, but for those extra expenses that are over and beyond normal operating costs.” One of the primary reasons for having business interruption coverage, besides the loss of income, is the potential loss of customers. “I have been in business over 34 years, and it certainly hurts to lose a customer,” Derivaux said. “If the business cannot recover quickly, then they are certainly at risk of losing valuable long-term customers. The extra expense feature of the business interruption coverage is designed just for that purpose, to cover the additional extra expenses for the business to reopen and get back on its feet as quickly as possible.”

Telecommuting may be the ultimate employee beneﬁt By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

Some people might consider having their employer allow them to work at home at least part of the week even better than a promotion and wage increase. While this isn’t suited to all types of businesses, many jobs today involve working on the phone and Internet, which can be done just as easily in a home office as anywhere else. I’ve been fortunate as a freelance writer and photographer to work at home for more than three decades. Early on, this was a huge beneﬁt while raising my two children. I could be there for them when they were sick, before and after school, and during vacations. I expected to go back to work in an office

after the kids were older. But by then I was spoiled by so many years with no commute time, no need to get dressed up, and being able to multi task cooking, cleaning, gardening, exercise, yoga and volunteer work with writing work. Over the years, I’ve been asked how I manage discipline. Some people tell me they could never work at home because they need the structure of a group office environment. There are so many distractions at home. How do you make yourself do the work that pays the bills? When I ﬁrst started working from home, I would get up, start cleaning or gardening, and pretty soon it would be noon. And, well, I’d already shot half the day, so why start working at the keyboard now? I made a rule, one that has served me

well. The rule is that after that first cup of coffee, I’m not allowed to do anything else until the writing work is done. I may have a long list of other things I want to get done that day. But it is noseto-grindstone until I get the writing work done. I’m also at my peak mental output early in the day. Lists. Lists. Lists. That is tip number two. Each day know exactly what you need to accomplish that day, and don’t leave the work station except for breaks until it is done. Third, it is really okay to tell your family and friends that you prefer calls and visits after working hours. People understand. You just have to train them. Next is managing your “research” time. I can easily get distracted when doing research for an article. One interesting article leads to another and you can end up doing too much research and not enough work towards the final product. A more recent issue is social media. Yes, it can be great way to share passions, see what friends across the country and world are up to, and stay closer to those you love even if they live far away. It can also be a huge time waster. A productivity sinkhole. So, unless posting to social media is part of your job, I’d advise relegating reading and responding on social media to after-work hours. Online buying? Same thing. This is not work. This is spending money. Keep the two separate. It can be extremely helpful, especially if you have others at home during work hours, to have a workspace in a room where you can close the door. Others aren’t going to want to hear you talking on the phone all the time, and you will find it difficult to concentrate if house mates are listening to music or television. Plus, you might be tempted to join them rather than get the work done. And be kind to yourself with your office space. You deserve having a window for natural lighting. You deserve a very good, ergonomic office chair. And don’t try to hunch over a laptop. Work on desktop computer with a full keyboard. And if you work on the telephone a lot,

Becky at Lake Lucerne

invest in a quality headset. Writing is a natural fit for telecommuting, but so is information technology (IT) work. My son works in IT, and recently traded at 2.5-hour daily commute for telecommuting from home most of the month. One of the first things he did was set up his desktop computer. Another benefit of working at home? I must have missed at least a cold a year, maybe two, from not having to go into an office where I might be exposed to other workers or customers with a contagious virus. I’ve gone as long as ten years without the flu. Of course, there can also be downsides to working at home. One if a lack of social interaction. Talking with someone on the phone is just not the same as face-to-face contact. It can be easy to get isolated. But this, too, just takes some planning. Plan to take a walk, go to the gym, play a sport, do a volunteer gig that connects you with people, join a book club or discussion group, and make plans to get together with family and friends. One thing that I also highly recommend is taking regular breaks just like you would do in a regular office. But it is easier at home to do 15 minutes of stretches or ten minutes of weight lifting. This can be extremely helpful avoiding computer neck and computer back issues. Remember. You’re the boss! So be good to yourself.

AN MBJ FOCUS: Architects & Engineers

Historic preservation of buildings provides numerous economic beneﬁts By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

The components of a city are as multifaceted as the elements of a successful business. “One undeniable factor for attracting visitors, new residents, and high-quality professionals to any town is character,” said Belinda Stewart, FAIA, principal, Belinda Stewart Architects, PA, Eupora. “With all the choices available in this highly connected world, Mississippi’s got character covered, if we can keep it.” Stewart said they see historic preservation as one of the most visible and supportive character Stewart retaining elements to Mississippi’s economy. Think of cities like Greenwood, Laurel and Cleveland which have celebrated their unique architecture, and are on the way to restoring their historic town cores to support not only the coffee and dress shops, but multi-family housing, hospitality and education facilities. “The recently renovated Guaran- Rash ty Bank & Trust Company building in downtown Greenwood is an example of restoring an existing Beaux Arts structure to serve the community while also supporting the larger corporation brand and downtown development plan,” Stewart said. “The building exterior was restored while the interior design emphasizes not only the remaining historic finishes, but also contemporary layout and finishes. At the grand opening community support was overwhelming, much to the credit of this new bank’s support of Greenwood’s vision for downtown revitalization.” Another project that just made good business sense was the historic Canton High School rehabilitation. The former high school has a large footprint and once it was vacated as an education facility, finding a new use took some imagination and support. “The project was rehabilitated using Historic Tax Credits into a new multi-family housing facility providing 80 housing units including support spaces such as exercise facilities, an indoor children’s playground and indoor basketball courts,” Stewart said. “The project maximized it’s potential by capitalizing on the 20 percent Federal Rehabilitation

Tax Credit and the 25 percent Mississippi State Historic Preservation Tax Incentive program, as well as the Mississippi Home Corporation housing tax credit.” Building materials used in historic buildings are often of higher quality than can be found today. Stewart said to invest in any construction project in this economy, your materials should sustain themselves and work for you. “Typically, existing buildings reflect the values of the community and preservation can not only support the community history, but through, thoughtful renovation/rehabilitation can breathe new life into not only a building, but an area of the community,” Stewart said. “As the importance of quality space is on the rise, historic buildings provide not only quality, but also flexible space with an abundance of character. As designers, we don’t have to invent character in historic buildings; it’s already built.” Another benefit is heritage tourism. Mississippi’s residents are creative and the arts are a draw for visitors. “The increase in historic tourism has been boosted and supported by the blues and historic trails throughout the state,” Stewart said. “This has made

way for special and locally influenced hospitality architecture. The Mason Boutique Hotel is a second- floor renovation project that was recently completed in downtown Louisville. The Masonic Lodge sold their two-story masonry structure to the existing first floor retailer — Southern Traditions — and the second floor was rehabilitated into a seven-unit boutique hotel with banquet space and an outdoor patio. The hotel is operated out of the Southern Traditions retail space and therefore the exposure to retail business has grown not only in Louisville, but surrounding communities.” Stewart said their architecture firm cares deeply about not only their community, but other communities throughout the state. “We have supported the restoration and rehabilitation of over 400 existing structures,” Stewart said. “To help support these projects we have also provided grant writing, historic structures reports, tax credit documentation and funding evaluations for many of these projects. Seeing Mississippi’s historic structures and community character saved is our goal. We enjoy helping towns, business owners and communities save and revitalize their hometowns.” The rehabilitation of the historic buildings that define the character of Mississippi’s communities is the cornerstone for any successful downtown revitalization effort, said Lolly Rash, executive director of Mississippi Heritage Trust, a statewide preservation advocacy nonprofit. “Study after study has measured the positive economic impact that the rehabilitation of historic buildings has on job creation, heritage tourism and property values,” Rash said. “In addition to these measurable economic impacts, saving a historic building is part of being a good steward of the environment. The greenest building is the one already built.” Rash said the State of Mississippi has made a considerable investment in the preservation of an irreplaceable architectural legacy. In response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi Legislature allocated $60 million for a historic tax credit in 2006. The Mississippi Historic Tax Credit program received an additional $60 million allocation in 2016. “These funds have helped rehabilitate over 300 buildings in fifty cities, leveraging approximately $300 million in local, qualified, non-acquisition related historic construction expenses,” Rash said. “In addition to funding the Mississippi Historic Tax Credit, the Mississippi Legislature has supported grant programs such as the Community Heritage Preservation Grant Program, which is administered by the Mississippi Department of Archives

and History. Since its inception in 2001, the program has funded 270 restoration projects in 108 communities. The total grant funds allocated to the program are approximately $42,164,865, which were matched by approximately $12,466,552 in local funds.” Programs of the Mississippi Heritage Trust include the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places in Mississippi, Heritage Awards and MS MOD. “Over the past year, the Mississippi Heritage Trust has held 14 Preservation Toolkit Workshops throughout the state to educate property owners and preser-

vation advocates about real estate ﬁnance and incentives like the state and federal historic tax credit,” Rash said. “To check out some great studies on the economic impact of historic preservation, visit the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and PlaceEconomics.” The Mississippi Heritage Trust will announce the 2019 list of the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places in Mississippi on Thursday, October 24 at 6:00 p.m. at the Morris Ice Company in Jackson. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the 10 Most program. Presented by BankPlus,

tickets to the announcement are $50 and can be purchased at www.10mostms.com. Rash said there has been great progress with the 10 Most sites over the past year, including the grand opening of Centennial Plaza in Gulfport, a new roof for the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Estill, the rehabilitation of the Old Hattiesburg High School to become affordable apartments for seniors, the sale of the Lewis House (Oldﬁelds) in Gautier to a preservation-minded couple, and a new roof and handicap accessible ramp at the Temple B’nai Israel in Natchez.

3-D printers can work while you sleep By BECKY GILLETTE mbj@msbusiness.com

For a long time, there seemed to be more hype around 3-D printers than there were practical applications. But now exciting things are being done by 3-D printers in Mississippi, including plans by Relativity Space at the Stennis Space Center to build an autonomous rocket factory. Duane McLemore, an assistant professor at the Mississippi State University College of Art, Architecture and Design, McLemore said Relativity Space is famous for its use of 3-D printing in parts for aerospace. “At one point they had the largest metal 3-D printer in the country to build a fuel tank for one of their rockets,” McLemore said. “That is not architecture, but we are trying to interface with that kind of technology. One of the imperatives for me in architectural education is that it is simply the future of fabrication inside and outside of architecture.” For architecture students, 3-D printers allow students to develop prototypes of test out a physical sample of a complex form or idea. “It doesn’t require you to hamstring your design by making it super basic so it can be fabricated in a traditional wood shop,” McLemore said. “It doesn’t require the kind of tooling and producing infra-

structure that contemporary advanced fabrication requires. It allows you to work quickly and to cheaply, often times at your desk.” There are many applications for 3-D printing. McLemore has a 3-D printer in his home office. He and his wife took an interest in the technology in 2014 and bought a printer that they use to produce jewelry. “We wanted to use the technology in a way more advanced than architecture,” McLemore said. “Turned out we had a knack for it, so we started a jewelry business using 3-D printing. The architecture school has about ten 3-D printers primarily used to make models of projects. “We have four production-quality machines that are pretty advanced,” he said. “They are still desktop printers, but are high end ones. And Professor Jacob Gines here actually got a grant last year and bought a number of printers that came as kits that the students put together that are inside the studio space. That is the thing that is starting to take off. If you go to a school where a lot of the students are affluent, you might see one on almost every desk. Even at a state institution, it is not uncommon for students to have access to 3-D printers.” What are the advantages of 3-D printers? Students can take a ﬁle, pop it onto the printer and start printing. A human has to sleep. But you can set up a 3-D printer to run all night. “Sometimes students don’t use it for anything they couldn’t do conventional-

ly, but it will work when you are asleep,” McLemore said. Five years ago, 3-D was in its infancy and just catching on. Today, McLemore said it is pervasive in architectural design and coming into common use in the construction industry. “People are taking a real interest,” he said. One MSU graduate is working with a contractor in a different region helping to implement 3-D printing. The company is exploring using a concrete 3-D printer to do production work replacing traditional form work. “There are certain forms you can make with 3-D printing that are hard to fabricate conventionally,” McLemore said. “In addition to augmenting a student’s work hours, it also can do things where forms might be too complex for students to do efficiently. The number of different variations for each piece going into a project might be too many for a student. And one of the really exciting things is you can go from a digital ﬁle to a ﬁnished product

without having a huge number of steps in the production process. It is that directness between an idea and testing that idea via a prototype that is really significant.” McLemore said 3-D printing is a huge growth industry right now. But he cautions that there is also a lot of “snake oil” out there. Some claim it might solve all our problems in construction. Taking a more measured look at it, it has some distinct advantages that are real and measurable. In addition to helping students extend design capabilities, it is also useful to understand new constructions technologies. “And the intent with that is to be on the front end of it rather than have construction technologies come to be and then trying to find out how to use them,” he said. Some of the most innovative 3-D printing research being done in Mississippi could one day have applications far beyond Earth. The University of Mississippi (UM) currently is doing research for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) tackling the other worldly challenges of building habitable spaces for Mars colonization. UM’s Additive Manufacturing Research and Education Cluster (AMREC) is conducting several research projects for NASA’s Mission to Mars program. Earlier this year AMREC’s proposal titled “Developing a Novel Method to Bond Planetary Regolith to Form Rigid Structures for Space-Based Habitats,” was awarded about $200,000 in funding. “The main goal of our current research is to address some of the top challenges of human health, life support and habitation systems posed by Mars,” said Hunain Alkhateb, associate professor of civil engineering, AMREC co-founder and principal investigator for the project. “My research interest is focused on additive manufacturing and additive construction, especially in the field of advancing materials design for multifunctional applications.” According to a news release from UM, Mars’ environment is the biggest challenge

Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Coast to rev up economy

By LISA MONTI mbj@msbusiness.com

In its 23rd year, Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the Coast is a tourism juggernaut that reliably revs up the coast economy during what used to be a slow season. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic car party, which celebrates vehicles 1989 and older, is expected to be another record breaker when Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rolls across the three coastal counties Oct. 6-13 Car owners had signed up 7,325 vehicles, 160 more than last year, by the time early registration closed out in August. All told, a record 8,444 vehicles were registered in 2018, and organizers have good reason to believe that number will be topped this year. Craig Grisoli, Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registration director, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Locals are anxious to see the event do well because it does mean a lot to the economy and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a fun event. We have 650 volunteers from 11 local clubs that make this happen.â&#x20AC;? Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crowds give restaurants, shops and hotels plenty to celebrate over the eight-day schedule. The latest economic impact study, conducted in 2016, showed

that Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; generated $28.6 million for Mississippi, including $26.1 million on the Coast. The totals that year increased by 35 percent over 2011.

She said cruisers can ďŹ nd plenty of other options beyond the beaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a coastal position, Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gives us the opportunity to tell everyone that the coast is doing great.

Woody Bailey, Cruisinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, said organizers are constantly looking for ways to make the massive event with venues from Bay St. Louis to Pascagoula work better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We deďŹ nitely donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too crowded.

AGRIBUSINESS

PFAS – More than just another acronym

o, what is PFAS? Simply put, PFAS (per and polyfluoronalkyl substances) is the term used for a family of approximately 5,000 individual man-made fluorinated chemical compounds that are used in our everyday lives. We have been using products containing older and newer versions of PFAS chemicals since the 1940s. PFAS make your eggs not stick to your skillet, your cheesy pizza not stick to the box, that spilled glass of wine not stain your carpet, and helps your jacket and shoes keep you dry when you get caught in the rain. PFAS are present in a host of other products, too – from popcorn bags and paints to cosmetics, shampoo, conditioners, hand creams, toothpaste and dental floss. PFAS chemicals also have a history of wide industrial applications, including extinguishing petroleum-based fires that occur typically at airports, refineries, fire training areas and military installations; enhancing oil recovery by use of chemicals that lower tension between liquids and generate increased oil production; inhibiting evaporation during petroleum storage; and suppressing mist from electroplating operations. The widespread use of PFAS has given new meaning to the word “ubiquitous” – PFAS truly are everywhere. One of the reasons PFAS have become so heavily relied upon is their stability. These compounds have proven so stable that once they reach soil and groundwater regulators contend they remain there for years. The very purpose of the compounds – resiliency – makes PFAS chemically stable not only in products, but also in manufacturing waste streams and in the environment. PFAS enter the environment in a variety of ways, as seen from these few examples of its use. PFAS remain stable through manufacturing processes and can enter the environment through wastewater treatment discharges, waste water sludges, industrial onsite disposal sites and commercial landfills, and especially landfills constructed and closed before 1990. That is when solid waste requirements for liners to protect groundwater were instituted. Other potential sources of PFAS are wet and dry atmospheric deposition and surface water runoff from PFAS-impacted land or runways and highways. A growing firestorm of focus on PFAS is sweeping the country, creating a dual challenge for industry to keep up with federal and state regulatory developments and to evaluate potential litigation risks associated with using these chemicals in manufacturing processes and industrial applications.

The science and toxicology surrounding PFAS is unsettled at best. While the EPA protects public drinking water supplies through the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) by monitoring for more than 90 drinking water contaminants, that list has never included any of the PFAS compounds. However, in February of this year, the EPA set the “health advisory” drinking water level at 70 parts per trillion for two of the PFAS chemicals that have been voluntarily phased out of use: perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perflurooctane sulfonate (PFOS). The EPA has stated that it will begin the administrative process for establishing a drinking water standard by the end of this year. Some states are not waiting on the EPA and have acted on their own to establish PFAS state-specific drinking water standards. At last count, 14 states have adopted the EPA health advisory standard and six states have adopted a standard more stringent than the EPA. All of these fast moving and dynamic developments yield regulatory uncertainties and create divergent government approaches across the country. PFAS are considered “emerging contaminants” – chemicals that may pose a potential human health or environmental risk but do not have regulatory standards. Industry has a solid record of working through other emerging contaminants in the past – PCBs, MTBE in gasoline, TCE and 1-4 dioxane, just to name a few. PFAS seem to pose more of a challenge, not only because of their resiliency in the environment, but also due to the breadth of consumer and industrial uses. Lessons learned in the past from other emerging contaminants will be useful and informative as industries tackle current PFAS regulatory uncertainties. We are already beginning to see the EPA and some states attempt to take a second look at dormant Superfund/CERCLA sites specifically for PFAS. Industry should be prepared to respond to the EPA and state environmental agencies as we anticipate regulatory efforts to bootstrap PFAS inquiries to permitting and compliance activities by federal environmental programs such as the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Toxic Substances Control Act and the SDWA. Against this murky regulatory backdrop, we are also seeing a groundswell of civil litigation across the country. Types of litigation include claims by individuals and businesses for personal injury, property damage and remediation costs arising from PFAS found in soil and/or

groundwater; claims by municipalities/counties/public utilities for costs of remediation and installation of water filtration devices; RCRA citizen suits alleging imminent and Trudy Fisher substantial endangerment; state claims for natural resource damages for groundwater/drinking water contamination and costs of investigation and remediation by mid-stream PFAS industrial users as a proactive strike against PFAS suppliers and manufacturers for increased regulatory and remediation costs. Industry has good arguments and defenses against the race to judgment on PFAS. There currently exists no standard for PFAS under any federal program that has withstood the rigors of a public process. The science and toxicological studies remain unsettled. Adding to the uncertainty, standardized laboratory methods are only available for drinking water and not for soil. The alarms are real, however, and are reverberating. Industry’s actions must be proactive, timely and deliberate. Being proactive includes understanding and identifying the existence of any regulatory and litigation risks squarely under the protection of attorney-client privilege. What chemicals are presently being used? What chemicals should be changed? What has been used in the past? What are the location and disposal practices for on-site and/or off-site landfills? Are contracts and indemnification agreements in place and sufficient? What did the company know and when did it know it? The dynamic and unsettled world of PFAS requires a disciplined and thoughtful approach in maintaining attorney-client privilege throughout any assessment of risks associated with PFAS. As you can see, PFAS is not just another acronym. It will be with us for many years. Now is the time to evaluate all things PFAS in order to be ready for whatever the future brings. Trudy D.

OVERSUPPLY DRIVES DOWN CAL-MAINE’S PRICES, SHARES By JACK WEATHERLY jack.weatherly@msbusiness.com Cal-Maine Foods Inc. reported on Monday a net loss of $45.8 million, or 94 cents per share, for the first fiscal quarter ending Aug. 31, compared with net sales of $241.2 million, a 29.2 percent decrease from $340.6 million a year earlier. An oversupply of eggs, which began to affect the market in early 2018 has continued. The most recent USDA report showed 331.4 million laying hens in the U.S. market as of Sept. 1, which was approximately 800,000 more hens than a year ago, according to the Jackson-based firm, the largest producer of shell eggs in the country. “Our average sales price was down 30 percent for the first quarter compared to the same period last year,” Dolph Baker, chairman and chief executive of Cal-Maine, said in a release. The net average price of a dozen was 91.5 cents, compared with $1.31 percent a year earlier. “While our sales volumes were up 1.7 percent over the first quarter last year, the extreme drop in market prices adversely affected our results,” Baker said. Cal-Maine shares dropped $5.46, or 12.03 percent, on the NasdaqGS market, closing at $39.96 on Monday. Its shares have ranged from $36.65 to $50.69 in the past 52 weeks. Cal-Maine did not pay a cash dividend for the quarter. “As we move forward in fiscal 2020, we will focus on the aspects of our business we can control, regardless of market prices and challenging conditions,” added Baker. Specialty eggs comprised 22.2 percent of the eggs produced by Cal-Maine in the quarter, but 44.9 percent of total revenue. “We remain committed to offering a favorable product mix that meets the changing demands of our customers,” Baker said. “As a result of California Proposition 12 and other industry changes, we are preparing for the expected higher demand for cage-free eggs. Throughout the first quarter, we have made considerable progress with our expansion plans designed to increase our cage-free capacity.”

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Women-owned business report reveals data on Mississippi women-owned businesses Owners Kim Caron of the Caron Gallery and Nicole Judon of the Peach Blossom Boutique LLC differ in years of experience. Caron opened her art gallery in 2010, while Judon opened her boutique in May and an online boutique in 2018. However, the two women have one thing in common: They are both part of the estimated 104,274 women who own businesses in Mississippi. The ninth annual State of Women-Owned Businesses Report, commissioned by American Express and using data from both the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Business Owners and relative changes in Gross Domestic Product, shows that women-owned businesses now make up to 42 percent of all businesses. American Express research advisor Geri Stengel said several of the Mississippi women-owned businesses tended to be small-scale. Caron said she believes that in society now, women are leading the forefront on small businesses and entrepreneurship, but thinks there may still be challenges for women looking for capital investors for bigger projects and businesses. When Caron started her own gallery in downtown Tupelo, she found that even while the world has not necessarily been supportive of women in business, Tupelo has been. “The community was so supportive, and has continued to support us, and it hasn’t been just our community. We ship art all across the country now, and that’s been exciting,” Caron said. Caron went into business after being a stay-athome mom for nearly 10 years and said the change took some getting used to. It did present some challenges – when she was seeking a line of credit, she had to have her husband co-sign since she hadn’t worked in years – she said the long-term presence of other female-owned businesses, such as the Main Attraction and Elizabeth Clair’s, let her know owning a successful business could be done. Like Caron, Judon was also a stay-at-home wife and mother. Judon still works full time at Ashley Furniture as a payroll analyst, and said she was inspired to go back to work four years ago because of a motivation to have “more than enough” and contribute to her family ﬁnances. While working two full-time jobs is a challenge, Judon said she started the boutique as a way to have something to pass on to her daughter. Both Caron and Judon were inspired by their families to go into business. Caron named both her father and husband as her mentors, and Judon’s husband and mother-in-law help run the boutique when Judon is at work at Ashley Furniture. Caron currently employs one full-time worker and three part-time workers, all of whom are women. The choice was not intentional, however; Caron said often, women are the ones who seek part-time jobs. This trend carries over into women-owned businesses; the 2019 report noted that part-time entrepreneurship among women has grown 39 percent in the last ﬁve years. Stengel said this growth is often due to women starting businesses out of necessity to help supple-

A statistic that surprised Stengel was how highly diverse Mississippi was with its concentration of black women. “It’s black women who are really driving the growth in women’s entrepreneurship, so in a sense, Mississippi isn’t taking advantage of that trend, so a policymaker might decide to support women entrepreneurs with policies such as family leave, affordable childcare, supplier diversity programs,” Stengel said. According to the report, the number of firms owned by women of color grew 43 percent from 2014 to 2019, with the number of African American women-owned firms growing at 50 percent. In 2019, women of color account for 50 percent of all women-owned businesses, despite representing only 39 percent of the total female population in the US. Judon said she takes pride in being able to be an African American business owner and said she wanted to show women of all ethnic backgrounds that they can look good without spending a lot of money. “It’s a challenge as a woman to get ahead in the world as it is, so to be able to cater to women and be able to help them piece together that nice outfit for the church, for work and to help them feel bold, beautiful, that’s the accomplishment and joy I have in owning this business,” Judon said. Judon said she sees an average of 100 people a week in her store and has about 30 online customers a week. Since opening, she has been able to hire a part-time worker who also serves as a store model. Several friends, family members and coworkers serve as models, and she carries two vendors, Beloved See WOMEN-OWNED, Page 46

‘El boom Latino’ heard at the Sanderson Farms Championship W elcome to Mississippi, Senor Munoz. Let’s expand that welcome. Sebastian Munoz arrived in this country on Sunday, you might say. He won his ﬁrst PGA golf tournament in Jackson. His achievement was set up when he sank a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation – igniting a roar from the crowd in the stands surrounding the green and forcing a playoff with Sunjae Im, PGA rookie of the year. For a Latino, albeit a middle-class kid who grew up on his family’s rubber-tree farm in Colombia, it’s not what you might expect if you relied on recent news, much of it unﬂattering to Mississippi. Now he has realized the American Dream overnight, winning $1.2 million. You can equally say that the tournament arrived this year also. Aside from that wad of cash, the winner now gets 500 FedEx Cup points, invitations to next year’s Masters, PGA and Players tourneys and for two years is exempt from qualifying for the top circuit. The Jackson event will move its dates to Oct. 1-4 in 2020, Sanderson Farms Chief Executive and Chairman Joe Sanderson said Sunday during the award ceremony, moving it into the fall, and possibly lower temperatures. As a member of the University of North Texas golf team, Munoz said that he never entertained being a pro. But the PGA had other ideas. It started what it calls the PGA Latinoamerica Tour, which gave Munoz his start. Then the Web.com Tour (now the Korn Ferry Tour). He made it to the PGA Tour, only to slip back to the Web.com. Now he is back on the PGA running with the big dogs, some of whom showed up for this year’s fatter purse (Cam Champ won $774,000 last year) and

the other enticements. So is the Sanderson Farms Championship. But Mississippi is being dogged with an image Jack Weatherly problem with Latinos. That, of course, stems from the raid by immigration agents in which several hundred undocumented Latino workers in poultry processing plants were arrested in raids in August for not having proper documentation. Sanderson Farms was not among those processors that were raided. Sanderson Farms is the third-largest poultry processor in the United States. It has sponsored the tournament that from 2013 through 2018 has yielded $8.1 million to charities in Mississippi, primarily the Batson Children’s Hospital. The tournament has expanded its stands, including six around the 18th, including one for the public the public. “The goal is to sell more hospitality to raise more money for charity,” said Steve Jent, director of the tournament. And organizers, of course, want to make the event attractive to the players. “We had a bunch of compliments from all the players” on the condition of the 7,334-yard course, Jent said. Mostly likely Munoz has no complaints. Carlos Ortiz of Mexico, who ﬁnished fourth, was in the ﬁnal twosome with Munoz to congratulate his former teammate at North Texas. They are in the vanguard of what a hispanic publication calls “el boom Latino.”

Jewelry by Stacey Lipsey and Baby Clothing by Cashmere Cuties, in addition to her regular inventory of clothing. For Judon, she said her motivation to open her business came after her mother fell ill shortly after the death of Judonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted her to witness her daughter, who is an African American woman, start her business and accomplish that milestone while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still here,â&#x20AC;? Judon said. Her mother is now legally blind, so one of the small tasks Judon likes doing for her mother is helping her pick clothing for her dialysis appointments. The compliments her mother often receives inspired her, as Judon said she would like to begin offering makeovers for those with vision loss within the next year. Stengel said while the growth of women-owned businesses has been important in boosting the economy, she has not seen some of the same strength in Mississippi as in other states. While Mississippi grew from an estimated 93,872 women-owned ďŹ rms in 2014 to an estimated 104,274 women-owned ďŹ rms in 2019, which represents an 11.1 percent change from 2014 to 2019, it is lower than the national overall growth of women-owned ďŹ rms by 21.3 percent in that same time period. Stengel explained this could be due to less women working as entrepreneurs out of necessity and is not â&#x20AC;&#x153;necessarily a bad thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last ďŹ ve years, Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment rate has gone down, and when the unemployment rate goes down, it means that necessity-women entrepreneurs return to the workforce,â&#x20AC;? Stengel said. Caron said her biggest challenge has been changing locations three times, but she believes the current location has proven to be the best spot in showcasing the art of more than 45 consigned artists and a growing custom framing business. Her goal has always been to showcase Mississippi artists worldwide, and she said social media has assisted tremendously in promoting this goal. She now ships art to other states and has shipped to Europe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight. It was plugging everyday and pushing and having great staff who have the same goals as I do to showcase our artists and try to get that art sold,â&#x20AC;? Caron said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; By DANNY McARTHUR / Daily Journal

THE SPIN CYCLE

American trust erodes for Congress, tech leaders T he public gives high scores to military leaders, public school principals and police officers on empathy, transparency and ethics, yet they rate members of Congress and leaders of technology companies lower, according to a new Pew Research Center report that examines public conďŹ dence in eight groups of people who hold positions of power and responsibility in America. The new survey looked at trust in members of Congress, local elected officials, K-12 public school principals, journalists, military leaders, police officers, leaders of technology companies and religious leaders. It probed public views about several aspects of conďŹ dence in performance and outlook, such as whether these groups care about people, handle resources responsibly or provide accurate information to the public. The survey of 10,618 panelists, conducted in late 2018, on Pew Research Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American Trends Panel, found that a considerable portion of the public give people in these powerful jobs low ratings when it comes to behaving ethically, dealing with ethical problems in their ranks and admitting mistakes. Half or more of Americans think these people act unethically at least some of the time, ranging from 50% who believe this about military leaders to 81% who feel members of Congress act unethically â&#x20AC;&#x153;some,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;all or most of the time.â&#x20AC;? Additionally, 77% believe this about the leaders of technology companies and 69% think this about religious leaders. Generally, the public has the most conďŹ dence in the way K-12 public school principals, military leaders and police officers operate when it comes to caring about people, providing fair and accurate information to the public and handling resources responsibly, according to the Pew Re-

search Center. Some 84% think principals care about the students they serve â&#x20AC;&#x153;some of the timeâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;all or most of the time.â&#x20AC;? Some 79% think police officers care about them at that level of frequency, and 73% have the same level of conďŹ dence in military leaders. The public places somewhat lower â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but still relatively high â&#x20AC;&#x201C; levels of conďŹ dence in religious leaders, journalists and local elected officials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trust is not an on-off proposition for Americans,â&#x20AC;? said Lee Rainie of Pew Research Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have calibrated and nuanced views about different groups and the way they conduct themselves. What gnaws at them most is a sense that those who hold positions of power and responsibility donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act ethically as often as they should or face serious consequences when they are caught doing wrong. They also have a sense that many of these key actors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t admit their mistakes and take responsibility for them.â&#x20AC;? Key ďŹ ndings: Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party are less likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners to believe journalists perform key parts of their jobs â&#x20AC;&#x153;all or most of the timeâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;some of the time.â&#x20AC;? Black Americans and Hispanics are more skeptical than white people about the performance of police officers. Members of Congress and leaders of technology companies do not enjoy the same level of public conďŹ dence as other key groups when it comes to several performance attributes. The public gives relatively high marks to all eight groups when asked about a key mission of each group, with military leaders ranking the highest and members of Congress the lowest.

Partisan gaps apply to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgments about military and religious leaders; Republicans are more positive than Democrats.

Snuffed Mic: Media companies extinguish e-Cigarette ads CBS, CNN and other major media companies are snuffing e-cigarette from their airways, as the death toll from a mysterious vaping-related illness continues to climb and health regulators across the world pull ďŹ&#x201A;avored vaping products off their shelves. CBS decided to stop taking future e-cigarette advertising, a spokesman conďŹ rmed to CNBC. The decision comes nearly a week after CNN told The Daily Beast it would no longer allow vaping products to advertise on its network. CNN said it would reconsider the policy if research shows vaping products are not harmful. CNNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent company WarnerMedia is also dropping e-cigarette advertising from its other networks. That includes cable channels TNT and TBS, which have both run ads for vaping company Juul in recent weeks. According to ad measurement company iSpot, more than 20 networks have run Juul ads in the past few weeks, costing more than $2.2 million for more than 900 airings.

Last week, CNBC reported that Juul planned to continue running its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make the Switchâ&#x20AC;? ad campaign even after the Food and Drug Administration accused the company Todd Smith of illegally advertising its nicotine pods as a safer alternative to cigarettes. Companies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advertise their products as less harmful than cigarettes without the FDA ďŹ rst approving the claims, and Juul has not yet submitted an application with the FDA, according to reports. Federal regulators and lawmakers on Capitol Hill have opened multiple probes reviewing Juulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advertising and other practices. Health officials announced plans a couple of weeks ago to pull ďŹ&#x201A;avored e-cigarettes off the market while foreign regulators took aim at the industry. At least nine people have died (as of this writing) and more than 500 people have become sick from a mysterious lung illness doctors have traced back to vaping, according to state health agencies and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Doctors say it resembles lipoid pneumonia, a speciďŹ c type of pneumonia that occurs when oil enters the lungs. Pulling these ads is the right prescription for a healthier path!
