But the drama shows that the body should have gotten it right the first time. | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalcapital.com%2Farticle%2Fzb4qn55t2n4h%2Fthe-suuti-saga-a-series-of-unfortunate-events.json | http://cdn.globalcapital.com/v-a4109db60d0ff41a350bc21961b4cc99/Media/images/euroweek/places/g-i/india_indiagate_230px.jpg | en | null | The Suuti saga: a series of unfortunate events | null | null | www.globalcapital.com | The Suuti saga is one of the more interesting developments in India’s equity capital markets in recent times. Suuti holds the government’s stakes in 51 listed and unlisted firms, including blue-chip names like Axis Bank, ITC, Larsen & Toubro and the Tata Group’s steel, power, chemicals and motor units.
It kicked off an ambitious plan to offload its minority holdings in these companies in July. But after much wrangling with banks, Suuti was forced to make an about-turn. It pulled, then re-issued the RFP in the past two weeks, after bidders complained that the terms were overly restrictive.
That the whole thing could have been handled more professionally is a given. At the heart of the issue was a non-compete clause that prevented banks that won the Suuti mandate from advising on other transactions for companies in the same sector as the ones belonging to Suuti — for as long as three years.
The incident makes plain that Indian government agencies still have much to learn when it comes to mandating a successful capital markets transaction. The non-compete clause, as bankers have explained, is in nobody’s interest but Suuti’s, and was almost punitive for firms that might have won the mandate.
The RFP was clearly a sought-after opportunity, with as many as 13 of the biggest banks in town, both foreign and local houses, submitting bids. But in the end, only four local firms were shortlisted as the other bids were non-binding. And as many as three of the shortlisted firms were found to be in breach of the non-compete clause.
This was why Suuti finally relented and the terms of the revised RFP are easier to swallow given that the conflict of interest clause now only applies until a Suuti transaction is completed.
But Suuti could have saved the time and money, as well as spared itself the embarrassment of having to restart the process, if only it had taken on board all the feedback from banks during the pre-bid meetings. This was not a case of the banks wanting a deal with the best terms for themselves, but one where they wanted a system that was fair.
Banks regularly reach out to clients in the same sector in an effort to build a franchise. But if Suuti had its way, it would have choked off a ton of business for the mandated firms. A three-year non-compete clause is enough to kill off any franchise.
Suuti should also remember that the divestments will come at an exciting time for Indian ECM, with IPOs headed for a record year as investors clamour for shares. The government shouldn’t let the positive sentiment go to waste.
After all, this isn’t just an opportunity to make some money off a couple of sell-downs. It is instead a chance to bring in marquee foreign investors into some of India’s biggest companies and add a meaningful amount to the state coffers. Suuti owes itself that much at the very least. | http://www.globalcapital.com/article/zb4qn55t2n4h/the-suuti-saga-a-series-of-unfortunate-events | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.globalcapital.com/50187b69c882ecef4e6734ec5f37a0f63fc9c5d2f54c39b1b80b4e9820680d04.json |

Three of Asia’s emerging markets have become the latest to make the leap from voice-based FX trading to electronic execution, according to Thomson Reuters.
Market participants in Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines are showing an increasing readiness to opt for technological solutions, says Luke Elliott, FX director, Asia. “We have seen considerable take-up of our FX trading platform in these markets over the past 12 months. We have definitely passed the tipping point as far as electronic trading is concerned.”
Recent reductions in the cost of providing such services have been key to persuading a new cohort of Asian clients to shift away from voice.“Previously, even the cheapest electronic services could work out quite expensive,” explains Elliott. “We are now offering entry level models that can be incorporated into our desktop platform, which represents a considerable cost saving for clients.” | http://www.globalcapital.com/article/z8bprflv8lwz/electronic-fx-trading-hits-tipping-point-in-asian-emerging-markets | en | 2016-08-01T00:00:00 | www.globalcapital.com/e69dd318a9fb93fc6891cbd69e5a5f0de9cc5d963e55359d2022e60d1f16e05b.json |

[] | 2016-08-30T18:49:46 | null | null | Sukuk stepped into the spotlight recently after JP Morgan decided to include Islamic bonds in its EM bond indices, but while eligibility will give the asset class a boost, it will be a while before the product is fully mainstream. | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalcapital.com%2Farticle%2Fzb7tb0pvh6xd%2Fsukuk-ie-cutter-needed-for-real-boost-to-asset-class.json | http://cdn.globalcapital.com/v-12fbbd549c420310a80bafdae3fd5065/Media/Images/euroweek/abstract-concepts/islamic lightbulb px230 for gc.jpg | en | null | Sukuk-ie cutter needed for real boost to asset class | null | null | www.globalcapital.com | As of October 31, sukuk will be eligible for JP Morgan’s EMBI, GBI-EM, CEMI and JACI indices. Inclusion will not only boost the profile of the product, but also supports inflows from both international institutional investors and passive tracking funds.
One London based EM fund manager said that eligibility would reduce the sukuk risk premium, which he estimated was around 30bp over conventional bonds in Malaysia, to a negligible amount. With little to no pricing differential, this could encourage more borrowers to issue in sukuk format to take advantage of a new pool of Islamic mandates without the extra cost.
Malaysia is expected to be the biggest beneficiary. It is by far the principal issuer of sukuk and has printed some $13.8bn of Islamic bonds this year, well outstripping United Arab Emirates’ $4bn. But beyond Malaysia, the impact will be limited, partly because, but not limited to, the fact that so few bonds have been included.
JP Morgan has identified just four sovereign bonds as well as two domestic issues from Malaysia and two dollar corporate bonds for inclusion. Indonesia’s 2024s, Malaysia’s 2026s and Turkey’s 2024s will be included in the EMBIG, and Pakistan’s 2019s will be in the JACI alongside Indonesia and Malaysia’s aforementioned bonds. DP World and Saudi Electricity will be included in the CEMBI.
With the exception of Oman, Middle Eastern countries are not included in the sovereign indices. United Arab Emirates, the principal issuer of international sukuk bonds this year, is not index eligible, nor is Saudi Arabia, which is expected to bring a sukuk issue as part of its anticipated $10bn capital markets issue, nor Kuwait.
In addition, sukuk is a more opaque structure involving a higher degree of credit work and analysis. It is also commonly smaller in size and less liquid than conventional bonds. While the majority of borrowers continue to issue conventional bonds alongside Islamic notes, the former is likely to remain the most attractive to investors, particularly if the “sukuk premium” is substantially reduced.
But one of the largest barriers to wider adoption of Islamic bonds is the lack of standardisation across issues, and the lack of harmonisation across different jurisdictions. Sukuks can be issued in multiple formats, making like for like comparisons difficult and the costs associated with issuance expensive.
Shari’ah accreditation by an Islamic scholar can be difficult, and in many cases costly, to obtain. The United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Luxembourg and South Africa all issued in Islamic format in an attempt to develop that market regionally, but there has been no follow-on issuance.
However, Fitch points out that the move towards standardisation is occurring. Kuwait's Capital Markets Authority announced a broad sukuk framework in November 2015, and the central bank in the UAE has proposed creating a Higher Sharia Authority to provide unified supervision and guidelines on Islamic finance-related matters, it said in a note on August 23.

By Gene Phelps
Daily Journal
Corinth first-year head coach Todd Lowery learned the Delaware Wing-T offense from the masters – current Bassfield coach Lance Mancuso and former Yellowjackets coach, the late Howard Willoughby.
Those two have won a combined seven state titles – Mancuso four, Willoughby three.
“I worked under Lance Mancuso, that’s a staple for them,” Lowery said. “It’s a tough offense to defend, but you have to run it right.
“Our players are buying in and working hard. It’s always a process, no matter what offense you run.”
The Warriors defeated Aberdeen 35-6 last week in Lowery’s debut. Corinth’s offense produced five TDs and 307 yards.
“We made plays and made things happen,” Lowery said. “We’ve got to do a better job blocking and executing.”
Corinth freshman quarterback D.T. Sheffield threw for two touchdowns, both to Tameric Perry, and ran for one against Aberdeen. Running back Jay Cobbs rushed for 93 yards and a score.
“This will test our discipline,” Tupelo defensive coordinator Brian Jones said of Corinth’s offense. “It’s all about being locked in and reading your keys. You can’t get lost in all the things that are going on. This is a true Wing-T with all the misdirection and motion.”
Golden Wave outside linebacker Peter Gray, who recorded five tackles, one interception, once sack and forced a fumble in the opener against Clarksdale, says everybody on defense must play their positions and assignments.
“The do a lot of crossing in the backfield,” he said. “Mainly, it’s a mind game.”
Tupelo senior Ray Sandroni directed the Golden Wave to its three touchdowns in its 20-6 victory against Clarksdale. He completed 15 of 21 passes for 133 yards.
Sophomore running back Jaquerrious Williams rushed for 59 yards and scored one TD.

September and fall are near, but Mississippians from the Tennessee Line to the Gulf of Mexico know that mosquito season remains a serious issue of public health until cold weather ends the mosquito cycle for a brief few weeks.
The tiny blood-devouring insects have been at war with humans and many animals beyond memory. Medical science continues identifying new diseases transmitted by the maddening little bugs, and the warning must be heeded as a matter of life and death.
The Zika virus, which was mainly identified with south and central America before 2016, has been identified in 11 states, including Mississippi.
The Zika-mosquito states are identified by the Food and Drug Administration as Mississippi, Alabama, Arizona, California, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, New Mexico, New York, South Carolina and Texas.
Those states, under federal order, must begin in September screening blood supplies and donations. All the other states and American territories will have three months to implement the screening.
Health authorities have said that screening the whole national blood supply is to protect people who might receive transfusions contaminated with the virus.
Besides direct transmission by mosquitoes, the disease can be spread in sexual relations. The virus is known to live in men for several months and in infected women for several weeks.
The Centers for Disease Control identifies these facts as need-to-know for the general public:
• Zika is spread mostly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. These mosquitoes are aggressive daytime biters and can also bite at night.
• Zika can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Infection during pregnancy can cause certain serious birth defects.
• There is no vaccine or medicine for Zika.
• The Florida Department of Health has identified an area in one neighborhood of Miami where Zika is being spread by mosquitoes.
Mosquito control, practiced for a century or more, is essential in preventing Zika’s spread.
Local, state and federal agencies all are involved in mosquito control and prevention.
Individual protections, including repellent spray and protected sex, are recommended.
The CDC says, “The best way to prevent Zika is to protect yourself from mosquito bites.”
As of Aug. 24, these were the Zika counts under American jurisdiction:
• In the 50 states: Total: 2,517
• U.S. territories: Total: 9,011
Previous discoveries of cures for terrible diseases suggests science will eventually fund a cure or medicinal shield against Zika.
For now, mosquito prevention and personal caution are the best measures. | http://djournal.com/opinion/opinion-zika-mandate-state-affirms-mosquitoes-role/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | djournal.com/c54b045227b02ecba186d78e6ae2a2c8821beb8d6a79e6e248b9e7fe8ea66277.json |

We bought the cookbook on a trip to the Smokies in 2001, when our children were little. I bet Charlie has read it a half-dozen times and each time, he finds a new recipe from it that he wants to try.
Sunday evening, it was this recipe for potatoes from Sylva, North Carolina, the county seat of Jackson County. “Mountain-style” potatoes call for the potatoes to be chopped and roasted in a fireplace Dutch oven.
However, the recipe noted that you could get the same result by cooking the potatoes in a modern-day oven and substituting bacon for the fatback, so that’s what we did.
We used three baking potatoes and three slices of center-cut bacon and cooked the potatoes in a Le Creuset Dutch oven in our gas oven for a little more than an hour. These potatoes made the whole house smell good.
We served them with a chicken roasted with onions and basted with teriyaki sauce and a side salad of tomatoes and cucumbers with a splash of Italian dressing. Our recipe easily made six servings, so the recipe below would likely serve 10 to 12.
Sylva-Style Potatoes
5 medium-size baking potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 strips of fatback
Scrub the potatoes well with a brush. Cut them into quarters and place in Dutch oven. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top, then place the strips of fatback. Close the Dutch oven lid and place on top of hot embers. Place hot embers on top of the lid also. The length of cooking will depend on the heat. Periodically open the lid and use a long fork to check for tenderness. When tender and brown, pull them out and serve.
A similar result can be obtained with a modern oven and with the use of bacon as a substitute for the fatback. Set the oven at 450 degrees and cook for about 1 hour. Check to make sure potatoes are tender and brown.

Quarterbacks
You could make a strong case that Chad Kelly was the best quarterback in the SEC last year. Going into this season it’s not even close. His experience and toughness will give the Rebels a chance in every game as long as they provide ample protection.
Expect some sort of role for Shea Patterson, the nation’s No. 1 quarterback in the 2016 recruiting class, though Hugh Freeze has not given a hint as to what that will be.
Running Backs
The idea of a committee of backs is a turn-off to some, but it’s been successful for Freeze and should be again this year even with the loss of Jordan Wilkins. Senior Akeem Judd is the biggest starting running back the Rebels have had under Freeze. Keep an eye on redshirt freshman Eric Swinney. He’d have likely carved out a role last year had not an injury forced a redshirt season. He won some noisy collisions in the spring.
Offensive Line
Junior Rod Taylor gets the first crack at replacing Laremy Tunsil at left tackle. That’s a lot of hope pinned to a guy who’s had some maturity issues in his first two years and is also coming off shoulder surgery.
Receivers
Damore’ea Stringfellow and freshman A.J. Brown have both been compared to Laquon Treadwell. Can anyone on the roster come close to performing like him? Experience at several spots and new talent make this an intriguing group.
Senior Evan Engram is back at tight end. He has the ability to stretch the field and is more of a weapon as a receiver than a blocker.
DEFENSE
Defensive Line
As at receiver, continued strong recruiting here has created depth. However, the continued delay in the come- back for starting senior end Fadol Brown (foot) could be an issue.
D.J. Jones (nose) and Breeland Speaks (four-technique) both contributed last year and look poised for success in larger roles.
Junior end Marquise Haynes could have an NFL decision to make at the end of the season.
The wild card is nose tackle Issac Gross. If healthy, he’s a lightning bolt to disrupt opponent backfields.
Linebackers
There’s little star quality at the position, but DeMarquis Gates does qualify.
Oregon State grad transfer Rommel Mageo was expected to make an immediate impact at middle linebacker. He’ll help, but he’s yet to fully digest the system.
When he does expect Gates to move to the outside spot.
Defensive Backs
Tony Conner’s return at Huskie is huge – if he returns to the play-making ability he showed before suffering a torn meniscus last year.
Starting cornerbacks Tony Bridges and Ken Webster are back, though pass defense was prone to give up big plays last year.
The Rebels lose a wealth of knowledge without safeties Trae Elston and Mike Hilton, both starters for multiple seasons.
Sophomore Zedrick Woods will start at free safety. There’s a lot of optimism around he and freshmen Myles Hartsfield – the starting strong safety – and Deontay Anderson.
There’s just not a lot of experience.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Kicker Gary Wunderlich and punter Will Gleeson return. Bothare juniors.
Wunderlich hit 19 of 25 field goal attempts last year with a long of 48 yards.
Nathan Noble will handle kickoffs. He had 54 touchbacks on 94 kicks last year.

Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – As expected, the first question asked at Dan Mullen’s initial game week press conference Monday was about who Mississippi State would start at quarterback in Saturday’s opener against South Alabama.
Without hesitation, Mullen quipped “Nick Williams.”
Of course, there is no one with that name on the roster but simply a combination of the three quarterbacks vying for the job – Nick Fitzgerald, Nick Tiano and Damian Williams.
“I’ll be perfectly honest with you, we’re going to play more than one quarterback and we will probably play more than one in the first quarter,” Mullen said. “I’m not trying to be deceptive or any of that stuff. I was hoping to have complete clarity that there was a defined No. 1 and I don’t think there is yet.”
Mullen will however give the two veterans – Williams, a redshirt junior, and Fitzgerald, a redshirt sophomore – the majority of the reps in practice this week.
“I want to see how guys are going to handle the next two to three days implementing a game plan for this week and see if one guy handles it much better than another guy or if somebody struggles with it,” Mullen said.
Williams has one career start, in the 2013 Egg Bowl as a true freshman, and Fitzgerald took a majority of the snaps last season against Troy with Dak Prescott falling ill on the eve of the game.
Williams and Fitzgerald both led the Bulldogs to victory in those contests.
“Both performed well in the tough situations they were thrown into,” Mullen said. “I want to give those guys an opportunity and see how they perform on Saturday.”
Tiano will still receive his share of snaps to continue preparing for what Mullen referred to as a “bright future.”

Daily Journal
TUPELO – A local attorney involved in recent protests against the city of Tupelo has sued Mayor Jason Shelton for slander and libel.
The suit, which was filed Monday, arises from remarks made by Shelton about Kenneth Mayfield.
In emails between the two men, Shelton suggested that Mayfield’s involvement in recent protest marches in the city was motivated by a desire for financial gain. Mayfield denies those charges.
At least some council members and city officials, including Councilwoman Nettie Davis and Councilman Willie Jennings, were copied on certain emails involved in the suit.
Mayfield further alleges that Shelton orally repeated these claims in various conversations.
Shelton, who was served with the suit Tuesday, had no comment. He has retained attorney Brad Morris to represent him.
“I have reviewed the complaint. It is without legal merit,” said Morris in a written statement. “We will file a motion asking the Court to dismiss the lawsuit.”
Mayfield is represented in the suit by Jamaal Walker of Southaven.
Speaking Tuesday, Mayfield said his suit is only intended to protect his reputation. While Mayfield said he does not anticipate significant damages would be awarded if the suit were successful, the lawsuit does request compensatory and punitive damages be awarded.
“Honesty to me is my most important characteristic,” Mayfield said Tuesday. “This is not about money.”
A longtime attorney based in Tupelo, Mayfield was among the organizers of the recently formed Coalition of Concerned Pastors and Leaders.
The group has helped organize and support recent protest marches in downtown Tupelo and has demanded such things as civilian oversight of police and community oriented policing programs.
The group has also raised questions about the death of Antwun “Ronnie” Shumpert, who was fatally shot on June 18 by a Tupelo Police Department officer.
In addition to the suit’s quotations from certain emails, Mayfield supplied the Daily Journal with copies of email communication he had with Shelton.
These timestamped copies show that Shelton and Mayfield variously corresponded from late July up to the middle of August.
In these messages, Shelton pressed Mayfield to explain the purpose of protest marches in which the Coalition has been involved.
In one email alleged by Mayfield to contain libel, Shelton described Mayfield as “acting with ulterior motives to make money.”
In a subsequent email, Shelton wrote to Mayfield, “You’re trying to make money and using the honest passions of good people to promote your personal financial position and that is wrong.”
University of Mississippi Professor of Law Ronald J. Rychlak said that claims of defamation, which includes libel and slander, are often difficult to prove.
And if a court were to determine that Mayfield is a “public figure” because of his protest activities, the case could be even steeper.
“It is pretty hard to prove libel on matters of public debate or matters related to a public figure,” Rychlak said. “In order to prove defamation in that case you have to show actual malice, meaning that the intent of the speaker was to harm the person you are talking about. And that is awful hard.”
Rychlak explained that in libel cases involving public figures, an intent to harm the speaker must be present even if the allegedly defamatory statements were false.
“Being wrong is not enough to prove defamation, certainly not of a public figure,” Rychlak said.

Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – This time a year ago, Ashton Shumpert was preparing to take the reins of the Mississippi State running game.
However, things did not go the way that he or the Bulldogs had planned. Shumpert struggled to find consistency and had lost his starting job by mid-season.
The former Daily Journal Offensive Player of the Year from Itawamba AHS, who also played at Tupelo, will get a chance to redeem himself as he enters his senior season.
“I know that I didn’t meet everybody’s expectations but especially my own,” Shumpert said. “I’m thankful that I have one more (year) and I’m going to try and make the best of that opportunity. My only goal is to do the best that I can.”
Shumpert inherited the starting job last season after 1,200-yard back Josh Robinson elected to enter the NFL Draft following his junior year. The 6-foot-2, 218-pounder accounted for only 145 yards and one touchdown on the ground while starting the first five games of 2015, averaging four yards per carry.
His best outing during that span came against Northwestern State where he picked up 55 yards on nine carries and scored on a 17-yard run.
“Josh had departed a year early and at that point right away he was thrown into it,” said MSU running backs coach Greg Knox. “He was still learning the game. He didn’t meet our expectations of what we were hoping for and looking for. But now I think he’s at that point.”
Taking the challenge
Brandon Holloway replaced Shumpert prior to the Troy game and started the final eight outings. Shumpert missed the Louisiana Tech game with back stiffness and played sparingly down the stretch in a reduced role. After losing his starting job, he received just 23 more rushing attempts the rest of the year, totaling 83 yards.
“He never flinched from that and continued to work and got better,” Knox said. “I thought this spring he took a giant step and hopefully this fall we’ll see a different Shumpert.”
Knox received rave reviews from the strength and conditioning staff about Shumpert’s efforts during the offseason. But those came as no surprise to Knox after coaching him for three-plus years.
“He’s a worker,” Knox said. “Heck, you can roll a ball out there any day of the week and he’ll be ready to go play. He’s a guy that’s going to work hard and give you everything that he’s got.”
With the clock winding down on his collegiate career, Shumpert is coming at this season with a different approach in hopes of achieving new and better results.
“It hit me at the beginning of the summer that this is it,” Shumpert said. “I try not to look at it as my last one but as the beginning to something else.”
Shumpert is set to graduate in December and is content with how his college experience has been as a whole in Starkville.
“I would’ve been happy here even if I wouldn’t have played a down,” Shumpert said. “Most people don’t get this opportunity and I’m trying to make the best of it any way that I can.”

At the same time, the service challenges the airport faced infrastructure problems not uncommon to airfields of any size. The financial impact of the challenges was complicated by loss of federal revenue when passenger service dipped below 10,000 boardings per year. Under the Essential Air Service program contract every passenger means a set amount of revenue to the airline, and 10,000 is the minimum number for full financial benefit.
Earlier this month, U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran and Sen. Roger Wicker, both Mississippi Republicans, announced approval of a $950,000 taxiway resurfacing grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The grant was possible because the Tupelo Airport Authority had the project “shovel ready,” and the FAA used year-end funds to respond to the need. It almost goes without saying the two senators and the rest of the congressional delegation also went to bat for the money.
The airport authority acted on the taxiway applications in late spring.
The taxiway parallels the north-south runway, and it is used by virtually every air plane landing or taking off in Tupelo.
The FAA grant will pay for remilling the taxiway and repaving with asphalt.
In addition to the Tupelo work, Ripley’s airport will receive grants totaling $616,688, which will be used to mill and overlay 4,400 feet of runway at the general aviation facility.
All the grants underscore the importance of the federal role in air service and facilities at every level. They all are expensive, and they all serve a need beyond anything called recreational flying.
Airport authority member Jim Newman said the federal role in airport maintenance and construction is as important as investment in highways, rail and waterways.
Last year, Cochran and Wicker, along with U.S. Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., announced a similar $716,779 grant for runway safety improvements, fencing installation and runway rehabilitation at the Tupelo airport.
Earlier this summer, the senators announced a $20.3 million FAA grant for 19 other Mississippi airport facilities.
Last spring, a new FAA reform bill was approved by the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, of which Wicker is a member. The legislation was signed into law by President Obama on July 15.
Cochran chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, which in May approved the FY-2017 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill with $3.35 billion to support the Airport Improvement Program.
Mississippi could not safely maintain airports on its own. And as with other issues, Mississippi leaders should take advantage of every available federal dollar for improvements. | http://djournal.com/opinion/opinion-tupelo-regional-airport-plans-benefit-shovel-ready/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | djournal.com/bf174eabbbd70091aafba05bd98d3247274fdcd599276f9dc62876466d8ed3cc.json |

Daily Journal
TUPELO – FEMA has approved a plan designed to ensure Lee County is prepared for future disasters.
That stamp of approval from FEMA also means the possibility of increased federal funding during the early days of recovery from disasters such as the 2014 tornado that struck Tupelo.
Specifically, Lee County could receive an additional 2 percent in federal reimbursement.
That means that during the first 30 days of disaster recovery, the federal share of local recovery costs could reach as high as 87 percent, according to Lee County Emergency Management Manager Lee Bowdry.
In the wake of modified regulations from FEMA, the Lee County Board of Supervisors in February hired consulting agency SCHAUS Professional Services, based in Ellisville.
Among other things, SCHAUS wrote a debris monitoring and removal plan for the county, Bowdry said.
“It details the locations that have been set aside throughout Lee County for debris,” Bowdry said.
The plan also contains a list of pre-qualified contractors able to perform debris removal.
However, SCHAUS CEO Danny Shows noted that in the event of a disaster, other companies are able to bid for debris removal contracts.
He said the process of writing the plans and obtaining the contractor list is intended to ensure that local governments and companies are familiar with new FEMA regulations.
The process is also designed to foster a rapid response when disaster does strike.
“The counties and the cities are more prepared than ever to respond to disasters,” Shows said.
Indeed, FEMA wants this rapid response so much it’s willing to pay for it.
“The goal is to be able to respond quickly. If they can respond quickly the first 30 days, the county can get up to 87 percent from FEMA,” Shows said. “That’s huge.”
Shows had indicated that the documents his company prepared for Lee County should remain valid up to five years if renewed.
The city of Tupelo has also contracted with SCHAUS to perform the same services.
Lee County’s contract with SCHAUS was worth up to $13,500, while Tupelo could pay up to $19,000.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – The Tupelo-based Doniphan Dance Project’s mission is modern dance, and on Friday afternoon, the dance company’s members were making middle school students into modern dancers.
The dance company performed two modern dance pieces for Tupelo Middle School students Friday afternoon at the Tupelo Civic Auditorium.
Catherine Barkley, assistant artistic director and dancer, described the two dances as “swing” and “post-apocalyptic.”
“They’re two really different pieces,” Barkley said. “There are a lot of different modern dance styles.”
Barkley said she believes modern dance appeals to young people more than other more traditional styles because of modern dance’s tendency toward loose, flowing movements and innovative choreography.
“Ballet is so structured, it is beautiful, but with modern we get to let loose and have fun,” Barkley said.
However, Barkley said many young people haven’t been exposed to modern dance.
Barkley herself did not know much about modern dance until midway through her high school career.
“I was exposed to it (modern dance) two years ago as a junior in high school, and I fell in love with it,” Barkley said. “It helped me realize I could continue with dance as a career.”
Through the group’s performance at TMS, Barkley and Roxie Clayton, artistic director for Doniphan Dance, hope to inspire a younger generation of modern dancers.
“We’re trying to show them that dance can be for everybody,” Clayton said.
Clayton said she hopes students who are interested will join the company, especially since many students never have the opportunity to attend a traditional dance studio.
Doniphan Dance is free to join and is sustained by donations. The Tupelo-based group currently has 27 members whose ages range from 12-24.
Students who are looking for a creative outlet and uplifting community could especially benefit from Friday’s program, according to Clayton. She hopes students will find that dance can be a source of self-confidence.
“It’s not just about dancing,” Clayton said.
Kristy Luse, director of educational enhancement for Tupelo Schools, said the Doniphan performance is just one of several types of dance students throughout the district will be exposed to this year.
Luse said the Doniphan Dance performance, although not directly related to the Whole Schools Initiative, enhances the work already being done in the district to integrate the arts into students’ school days.
The Doniphan Dance Project will also perform 7 p.m. today and 2 p.m. Sunday for the general public at the Tupelo Civic Auditorium. Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

TUPELO – Changes to a statewide computer network could force law enforcement agencies to pay an additional $5,000 a year to access the national index of criminal justice information.
AT&T is in the process of revamping the statewide network to the new technology.
While the old network will be phased out over the next five months, agencies wanting to access the National Crime Information Center must be ready for the new system by October.
“The bottom line of this change is each agency will have to replace their routers and upgrade the dedicated circuits to full T-1s,” Mississippi Department of Public Safety management information system director Clay Johnson said in a letter sent out to sheriffs and police chiefs last month.
According to the letter, the new dedicated circuit will cost around $5,800 per year.
Law enforcement around the country input information to the NCIC on arrest warrants, stolen property – including cars, boats and guns, wanted people, missing people and the criminal history of individuals.
“We’ll have to do whatever it takes,” said Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar. “NCIC is a valuable component in our job. Like any other law enforcement agency, we use it every day.
“It has been real helpful for us in locating stolen property. We are going to have to upgrade our computer system anyway so we will probably do it all at the same time.”
Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson agrees on the importance of the national network as a crime fighting tool.
“It’s the engine that runs this agency,” Johnson said.
While most small counties will have to adjust their budgets to handle the new costs, Lee County will go a different route.
Lee County administrator Sean Thompson said the county already purchases enough bandwidth from AT&T to handle the increased requirements and won’t have to upgrade to handle the change.s
The existing county network will be able to handle the increased demands for the NCIC computers at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and the Lee Communications 911 center.
NCIC terminals must be manned 24 hours a day and are usually located with radio dispatchers. In most counties, the 911 dispatchers handle the call both county and city law enforcement, as well as fire and ambulance.

Getting head lice is such a common ailment for school-aged kids, it almost seems like a rite of passage. In fact, between 6 and 12 million infestations occur in the U.S. among 3 to 11 year olds each year.
But just because it’s common doesn’t mean many people actually know a lot about lice.
“There are a lot of myths out there about head lice,” said Marty Brown of Lice Clinics of America in Tupelo. “And this kind of misinformation means many kids aren’t getting an effective treatment, which can lead to re-infestation and, ultimately, a lot more hassle and discomfort.”
Here the answers to six frequently asked questions from parents according to Brown:
Q: What are the risk factors for head lice?
A: Since lice are spread through direct head-to-head contact, kids who spend time with other kids (at school, daycare, camp or even at home) are more likely to get lice.
“Many people think having dirty hair makes increases your risk of getting lice, but that’s just not true,” Brown said. “How clean your child’s hair, home or school are have absolutely no effect on if they get lice or not.”
Q: How do I know if my child has lice?
A: If you find a tan or light-colored bug moving around on your child’s head or scalp, you can be pretty sure they have lice. Diagnosing lice can be challenging, though, because lice are tiny (adults are the size of a sesame seed) and move quickly.
“Misdiagnosis of head lice happens a lot. Nits (lice eggs) are often confused with dirt or dandruff by parents combing their child’s hair,” Brown said. “One of the best ways to get an accurate diagnosis is by going to a doctor or lice specialist.”
Q: How did my child get lice?
A: “Lice are primarily spread through head-to-head contact,” Brown said. “So more than likely your child spent time playing with a child that already had lice.”
Kids can also get lice from wearing clothes (hats, scarves) or lying on a fabric surface (pillows, couch) that have recently been used by an infected person, but this is much less common according to Brown.
“Adult lice only live about a day away from a human host, so it’s very unlikely they got lice from a hat or hairbrush,” Brown said. “Plus, lice have trouble climbing surfaces other than human hair.”
Q: Can head lice spread disease?
A: “No, head lice don’t spread any known diseases,” Brown said. “Many people are allergic to lice bites, so they feel itchy and scratch their scalp. Excessive scratching could potentially lead to a skin infection, though, if it’s bad enough to break the skin.”
Q: What’s the best treatment for head lice?
A: There are lots of treatment options available today from prescription shampoos to herbal remedies, but the efficacy varies greatly.
“One of the fastest and most effective ways to get rid of lice is the AirAllé treatment,” Brown said. “Just a single one-hour session kills head lice and 99.2 percent of lice eggs.”
AirAllé is a FDA-cleared device that kills lice and eggs through dehydration making it a revolutionary alternative to traditional lice treatments.
Bonus question: Where can I get the AirAllé treatment? Answer: Right here in Tupelo from Lice Clinics of America.
Lice Clinics of America is a world leader in lice-treatment services and the only science-based lice removal company in Tupelo.

TUPELO – Three men are being sought by Tupelo Police in connection to a shots fired incident.
At approximately 2:30 p.m. Monday, TPD officers responded to the 200 block of South Highland Drive, where there was a report of a disturbance involving a gun that had been fired.
Officers learned the victim and suspect had been in a verbal argument over the suspect stealing property. At some point, the suspect returned as a passenger in a dark blue sedan – possibly a Lexus – and fired a gun into the air. There were no injuries, and no property damage was found.
An investigation revealed the possible suspect to be Darquavion “Dill” Morrow, 18. He is currently wanted for an unrelated misdemeanor warrant in Tupelo as well as for a felony warrant for auto burglary from the Shelby County (Tenn.) Sheriff’s Office.
TPD believes Morrow might be associated with two other men who are also wanted for felony auto burglary in Shelby County – Corneilus Bady Sr., 41, and Corneilus Bady Jr., 19.
Anyone with information concerning these individuals is asked to call TPD at (662) 841-6491 or Crimestoppers of North Mississippi at 1 (800) 773-TIPS (8477). | http://djournal.com/news/three-sought-shots-fired-incident/ | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | djournal.com/dd60963e0398e46679cc1c7d725cd1a1813b6b743a301c3055c78e17f22bb45c.json |

OXFORD – A few notes from today’s practice, which included several viewing periods.
Suspended offensive tackle Jeremy Liggins was back at practice. He’ll begin being worked back into practice reps but will not play against Florida State.
He still has some work to do to regain his status as team member in good standing, Freeze said. Liggins is listed No. 1 at left tackle on the first depth chart. Rod Taylor is currently getting first-team reps.
Also back was wide receiver Markell Pack, who has been out with a hand injury.
Freeze said he has confidence in 10 offensive linemen to play.
Here’s Freeze:
He talked a little about the Yahoo story that reports the NCAA has made visits to other campuses to ask other SEC players about their involvement in recruiting with Ole Miss.
Freeze questioned the validity of the story.
“This has become the norm around here and I’m just kind of numb to it, and it actually makes us stronger. You’d have to ask whoever wrote the article with no sources. From our end, we protect what’s going on in it (the investigation), and I would hope the same for everyone involved. But that was total … I had no idea. I don’t know if it’s true or not. Is it or is it not? I have no idea.” | http://djournal.com/news/freeze-talks-liggins-return-practice-latest-ncaa-story/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | djournal.com/a7ca69e44ee3a61e8bc7a5856c5d7e426809bd77c30c24e2d26562a9a0032090.json |

Daily Journal
TUPELO – In 22 weeks, Emily and Dustin Edmonson will welcome their first baby to the world.
Holding a bag full of brochures from over 15 vendors – ranging from pediatric clinics to baby photographers – the couple made their way to the Caring For Your Newborn class at the North Mississippi Medical Center Women’s Hospital Baby Fair on Saturday.
As young parents, they have been researching different techniques on how to raise their baby boy when he comes.
They came to the baby fair to connect with local health care officials and learn even more.
“I’m learning the importance of breast feeding and how I’m going to attempt to do that and work,” Emily said. “We also learned about how they keep the baby in the room to have bonding time with the family.”
“It definitely has a lot more information I wouldn’t have previously known because I did not know there was so much to a baby,” Dustin added.
Emily said she can’t wait to bond with her “little fella.”
As for Dad: “I can’t wait to take him fishing.”
Ashley Stubblefield, also a first-time mother, came to take a tour of the Women’s Hospital labor and delivery wing.
Stubblefield learned about the Golden Hour – where mothers breastfeed their child within the first hour of birth – a technique she wants to try when her son, Case, is born.
“I’m looking forward to him being here and taking care of him,” she said. “I’m still kind of scared about giving birth.”
Courtney and Jared Harris, expecting parents, also toured the facility.
“We decided it’d be a good opportunity to tour the hospital to get familiar so the day of won’t be so stressful,” Courtney said. “I think it’s important because for new moms, it helps them get educated about things that are offered today like CPR, breastfeeding and how to care for a newborn.”
With a laugh, Jared added, “It just helps me know where to go.”
The parents stopped to talk to Dr. Sarah Silver, a pediatric endocrinologist who works at University of Mississippi’s Children’s Hospital clinic in Tupelo.
Silver came to promote the Children’s Hospital mission of expanding pediatric care in the state of Mississippi and all the services offered.
“I think that for expecting mothers and families to know what services are available, for not only things like medical services, but things like breastfeeding and pre-natal care to help prevent problems later on,” Silver said. “Preventive medicine is the key.”
Liz Dawson, community health director with NMMC, said 250 to 300 expectant mothers and families come through the baby fair.
Each year, the Women’s Hospital tries to gather new vendors while also bringing new baby care trends to light.
“This helps them keep up with new trends and safety and changes in car seats,” Dawson said. “It educates the grandparents as well. For fathers, they are going to learn just like the mother does and what they can do to help with the care of a new baby and be a support system.”

LOS ANGELES – Julio Urias allowed one run over six innings, Corey Seager set a Dodgers franchise record for a shortstop with his 23rd home run and Los Angeles beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Saturday to even the series between NL division leaders.
Urias (5-2) pitched better at home than the last time he faced the Cubs. The rookie left-hander made his second career start in Chicago on June 2 and gave up six runs – five earned – and eight hits in five innings while serving up three homers.
This time, he allowed six hits and tied a career high with eight strikeouts and two walks. He is 4-0 in six games (four starts) since the All-Star break.
Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth for his 38th save a day after allowing a run on a wild pitch in the ninth in a 6-4, 10-inning loss.
The Cubs’ four-game winning streak ended behind the shortest outing of the season from Jason Hammel (13-7). He gave up three runs and five hits in 2 1/3 innings.
Los Angeles increased its NL West lead to two games over San Francisco.
BRAVES 3, GIANTS 1: Matt Kemp hit a three-run homer and Mike Foltynewicz pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, leading Atlanta past San Francisco.
Foltynewicz (7-4) struck out six and allowed five hits and a walk. His only mistake came in the second inning, when Brandon Crawford socked an 0-1 fastball for his 12th homer.
San Francisco fell to 13-26 since the All-Star break, the worst record in the majors over that stretch.
Kemp hit his homer in the fourth to make it 3-1 against emergency starter Albert Suarez (3-2). Suarez was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to start in place of Jake Peavy, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain.
Jim Johnson pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save.
YANKEES 13, ORIOLES 5: Rookie Gary Sanchez kept up a most remarkable run, homering for the third straight game to help New York rout Baltimore.
Sanchez hit a drive that bounced off the top of the right-center field wall and over in the fourth inning. He reached 11 career home runs faster than anyone in major league history – 23 games, including two hitless games last year.
After the catcher connected, the crowd of 38,843 emphatically chanted his name. Mark Teixeira stepped out of the batter’s box, pausing the game and allowing the 23-year-old to tip his batting helmet to the fans from the top of the dugout steps.
Starlin Castro and Aaron Hicks also homered as the Yankees won their fourth in a row. A day after trouncing the Orioles 14-4, New York moved within 2 1/2 games of them for the second AL wild-card spot.
Chris Davis homered twice and Mark Trumbo hit his big league-leading 39th home run for Baltimore. The Orioles have lost three straight.
Tommy Layne (1-1) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Dylan Bundy (7-5) was the loser.
RED SOX 8, ROYALS 3: Dustin Pedroia had four hits to extend his streak to 11 at-bats before bouncing into a double play with a chance to tie the major league record, and Boston beat Kansas City.
Pedroia’s streak, which stretched over three games, ended in the eighth inning. Johnny Kling of the Cubs set the record of 12 in 1902, Pinky Higgins of the Red Sox matched it in 1938, and Detroit’s Walt Dropo accopmplished the feat in 1952.
Xander Bogaerts homered and drove in three runs, and Mookie Betts and Hanley Ramirez hit consecutive homers for Boston. David Price (13-8) won his fourth straight start, giving up two runs in six innings.
Danny Duffy (11-2) was the loser, ending a personal 10-game winning streak.
Salvador Perez hit two solo homers for the Royals.
ROCKIES 9, NATIONALS 4, 11 INN.: Charlie Blackmon hit two home runs, including the go-ahead shot in the 11th inning, and Colorado beat Washington to snap a four-game losing streak.
NL MVP Bryce Harper was ejected in the 10th after getting called out on strikes. The Nationals star yelled at plate umpire Mike Winters and threw his helmet to the ground after being tossed.
Blackmon connected in the third off starter A.J. Cole, then hit a two-run drive off Yusmeiro Petit (3-4). Blackmon has 23 home runs this season and five multihomer games.
Carlos Gonzalez also hit a two-run homer off Petit, his 24th of the season and 200th of his career.
Jake McGee (1-3) pitched a perfect 10th that included striking out Harper.
Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu went 3 for 5 to pass the Nationals’ Daniel Murphy for the NL batting lead.
METS 12, PHILLIES 1: Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run homer, Kelly Johnson had a pinch-hit grand slam and Noah Syndergaard pitched two-hit ball over seven innings to help New York rout Philadelphia.
Asdrubal Cabrera homered for the third time in two games, a two-run drive that put New York ahead against Jeremy Hellickson (10-8). Neil Walker added his 23rd of the season to match a career high, giving the Mets four homers for the second consecutive night in a blowout of Philadelphia.
Alejandro De Aza added a two-run double for the Mets. They have won six of seven as they attempt to make a charge in the bunched-up NL wild-card chase.
Syndergaard (12-7) chipped in with a long double and won his third straight start. The only damage against him came on Freddy Galvis’ homer in the third.
ANGELS 3, TIGERS 2: Detroit stars Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez were ejected, along with manager Brad Ausmus and hitting coach Wally Joyner in a series of balls-and-strikes disputes as the Tigers’ five-game winning streak ended in a loss to Los Angeles.
Kaleb Cowart hit his second career home run and C.J. Cron added an RBI single for the Angels.
Victor Martinez argued with plate umpire Mike Everitt after taking strike one in the third inning. Martinez was tossed after about 30 seconds, then put his hands behind his back to continue the debate. He later flipped his helmet onto the field from the bench.
After Ian Kinsler struck out looking in the fifth, Joyner was ejected from the dugout by Everitt. Joyner came out to argue, Ausmus followed and was tossed, too.
In the sixth, J.D. Martinez was called out, looked back at Everitt and was ejected.
Jhoulys Chacin (4-6) threw four scoreless innings and struck out five for the win. Fernando Salas closed for his fifth save. Rookie Michael Fulmer (10-5) gave up three runs in the third.
RANGERS 7, INDIANS 0: Mitch Moreland’s grand slam capped a bizarre, five-run first inning for Texas and A.J. Griffin pitched six strong innings in the victory over Cleveland.
Griffin (6-3) allowed five hits while winning for the first time since Aug. 4. In making his first scoreless start of the season, Griffin didn’t allow a home run for the first time in 12 starts.
Carlos Carrasco (9-7) allowed seven runs – four unearned in the first – and eight hits in four innings while striking out eight.
Ian Desmond and Carlos Beltran singled with one out and moved up a base on Carrasco’s balk. On Adrian Beltre’s sharp grounder to third, Desmond dove back and beat Jose Ramirez’s tag to load the bases. Rougned Odor’s hard grounder to first bounced off Carlos Santana’s glove for a run-scoring error and Moreland (Amory, MSU) followed with his second career slam.
BLUE JAYS 8, TWINS 7: Melvin Upton Jr. hit an RBI triple and continued home on a misplay in the eighth inning, completing AL East-leading Toronto’s rally from a five-run deficit.
Edwin Encarnacion homered and had three RBIs to help Toronto hand Minnesota its ninth straight loss.
The Blue Jays trailed 7-6 in the eighth when Kevin Pillar doubled with one out off Ryan Pressly (6-6). Upton followed with a triple past a diving Max Kepler in right.

Jason Grilli (5-3) worked one inning for the win and Roberto Osuna finished for his 29th save.
Minnesota led 5-0 before the Blue Jays began their comeback. Encarnacion hit his 36th homer and leads the AL with 105 RBIs. Minnesota’s Trevor Plouffe homered for the second straight game.
ATHLETICS 3, CARDINALS 2: Khris Davis hustled home on an infield grounder in the eighth inning and Oakland rallied for two runs to beat St. Louis.

HATLEY – Smithville (2-0) cruised in the second half of a game that was scoreless until nearly halftime, beating Hatley 40-9 on Friday.
Jordan Spratt’s 44-yard scoring run put the Noles on the board with 31 seconds left in the second quarter.
Smithville found the end zone three times in the third, off a Dustin Moffett pick six and two long touchdown runs of 37 and 69 yards by Dee Moore.
Hatley scored all nine of its points in a matter of 20 seconds early in the fourth quarter on a safety and a 51-yard touchdown pass from Will Cantrell to Jaylon Jernighan.
The Noles iced the win in the final minutes as senior quarterback Heath Noe found Wesley Grier and Moffett for two scores.
“I feel like we probably left some points on the board in the first half with some costly penalties,” Smithville coach Chad Collums said. “Offensively, I felt like we spread the ball around tonight, which is good with a running back like Dee (Moore) and the great receivers we have.” | http://djournal.com/sports/smithville-offense-gets-going-second-half/ | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | djournal.com/e548671591d8f15ca5b278d014a0186e6bb1a49b6426442fc19f027dcb66e0d7.json |

Defensive coordinator Dave Wommack visited with his after practice this evening.
He said defensive end Fadol Brown went through practice today and finished without incident. What that means remains to be seen. He’ll be evaluated with his foot injury tomorrow.
Wommack also talked about grad transfer linebacker Rommel Mageo and said he’s made big strides in picking up the defense. It will be a big lift if Mageo can contribute.

Daily Journal
OXFORD – The NCAA investigation into Ole Miss football may have taken another turn.
Yahoo Sports is reporting that the NCAA has interviewed players at other SEC schools about their experiences with Ole Miss during their recruiting.
The web site cited multiple unnamed sources in reporting that NCAA enforce- ment staff were on campus at Auburn and Mississippi State and possibly one other SEC West school this summer.
Ole Miss athletics director Ross Bjork would not comment on the report.
Ole Miss received a notice of allegations from the NCAA in January charging 28 violations over three sports, 13 in football. In late May the school announced its response which includes self-imposed sanctions of scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions for staff, disassociation of four individuals and three years probation.
Ole Miss officials hoped they were nearing the end of an investigation that will have its fourth birthday in September.
That seemed to be the case in late April when on the first night of the NFL draft, star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil had his social media accounts hacked and made public. They showed a conversation in which Tunsil asked an Ole Miss administrative assistant for money to help pay rent and utilities for his mother.
The next steps are to include an appearance before the NCAA’s committee on infractions then awaiting a final report from the committee with an announcement of its findings and penalties.

In traveling across the state over the past month, I have continually seen how Mississippi is looking ahead to create better transportation options, more opportunities for economic growth and a richer quality of life for everyone who calls our state home.
Our work continues in the effort to restore passenger rail service along the Gulf Coast. In early August, I met in Biloxi with leaders of the Southern Rail Commission, local officials, the Gulf Regional Planning Commission, and rail transportation company CSX for an update on the progress that is being made. Our discussion reaffirmed that returning passenger rail service from New Orleans to Florida remains a top priority at the federal, state and local levels.
Passenger rail service would connect Mississippians to more jobs, offer an alternative to highway traffic and bring more visitors to our beautiful shores and lively main streets. The report to Congress by the Gulf Coast Rail Service Working Group, which was tasked with studying options for restored service and making recommendations, is expected early next month.
Ribbon-cuttings across the state are a good sign that our communities are evolving and revitalizing. Greenwood recently hosted a ribbon-cutting for its new wastewater treatment facility – a project that has been years in the making. A high-quality wastewater system is important to residents’ quality of life as well as to families who decide to settle in the area and job creators who choose to invest there. I am pleased that more important infrastructure upgrades are ahead for the Mississippi Delta, thanks to a recently announced investment by the Delta Regional Authority to improve roads, sewers and a medical clinic.
In Southaven this month, I took part in the grand opening of a new building for the Chamber of Commerce, which promises to give entrepreneurs even more support and tools for their businesses. In Natchez, we dedicated Fort Rosalie as the third National Park Service site in the city. Additionally, on the upcoming anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I will participate in the ribbon-cutting for Waveland’s new police station – a major milestone in the city’s recovery.
In addition to welcoming these new developments, I have also spent time over the past month with many of our job creators and small businesses. Through these conversations, I have learned firsthand how the Obama administration’s war on coal has hurt local manufacturers like Structural Steel Services in Meridian. I have had the opportunity to hear directly from Mississippi’s restaurant owners about the impact of the Department of Labor’s onerous overtime rules and Obamacare. Our state has a lot to offer in terms of a skilled workforce and abundant resources, but crushing rules shortchange this potential and kill jobs.
My visits with Mississippians during this state work period are important to my work in Congress, where the concerns and needs of Americans should be heard through their elected representatives. This dialogue is crucial as we continue to move our communities forward and seek investments that will lead to an even better, brighter Mississippi.

Quarterbacks
Junior Damian Williams, sophomore Nick Fitzgerald and redshirt freshman Nick Tiano have been battling since the spring to fill Dak Prescott’s shoes. Williams served as Prescott’s back-up in 2014 while Fitzgerald filled that role last season.
Running Backs
Mississippi State has six tailbacks on scholarship including four who saw action a year ago. Seniors Brandon Holloway and Ashton Shumpert headline the group but that duo only combined for 641 yards and one touchdown while splitting starts last year.
Offensive Line
The Bulldogs have three senior starters returning on the offensive line in center Jamaal Clayborn, right guard Devon Desper and right tackle Justin Senior. Sophomore Deion Calhoun will be filling the left guard slot while junior Martinas Rankin and sophomore Elgton Jenkins battle to become the bookend at left tackle.
Receivers
Fred Ross enjoyed a breakout season a year ago with 88 catches for 1,007 yards and five touchdowns. MSU will need wideouts like Donald Gray, Gabe Myles, Malik Dear and Jesse Jackson to step into bigger roles while a crop of talented freshmen get their first opportunities on the field.
Tight Ends
Due to career-ending concussions to Gus Walley, Justin Johnson is considered the group’s veteran player as only a true sophomore. First-year players will be counted on heavily behind him including juco transfer Jordan Thomas, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound target.
DEFENSE
Defensive Line
The Bulldogs are expected to showcase more of a three-man front this season which will highlight the skills set of seniors Nick James and Nelson Adams at nose guard.
A.J. Jefferson led State with 13.5 tackles for loss last season while fellow defensive end Jonathan Calvin had a stellar spring capped by four sacks in the spring game.
The addition of former five-star recruit Jeffery Simmons should held alleviate the talent loss of Chris Jones, who departed a year early for the NFL.
Linebackers
As deep as the defensive line is, the linebacking corps is just as deep and possibly even more talented.
Richie Brown returns after leading the team with 109 tackles and 6.5 sacks and will be joined in the middle by Leo Lewis, a highly touted recruit that redshirted last season.
Gerri Green and Will Coleman are competing for reps at viper, a hybrid defensive end/ outside linebacker position created by new coordinator Peter Sirmon. JT. Gray will start opposite the viper spot at “star.”
Cornerbacks
The Bulldogs’ depth took a major blow in the preseason as senior starters Tolando Cleveland and Cedric Jiles both suffered major injuries. Cleveland was lost for the year with a torn ACL while Jiles will be out until October with a broken arm.
Mississippi State now needs juniors Jamoral Graham and Lashard Durr, a juco transfer, to fill those roles.
Safeties
A trio of talented sophomores – Brandon Bryant, Jamal Peters and Mark McLaurin – headline at the position with Bryant leading the team with three interceptions a year ago. Senior Kivon Coman serves as the leader of the group.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Kicker Westin Graves (15-of-18) and punter Logan Cooke (42.2 avg.) are both back.

TUPELO – Ron Anderson has led a full and fulfilling life.
A native of Iowa, he spent eight years in the U.S. Army, serving in Korea, Germany, Bay of Pigs and Vietnam.
After a stint with the Postal Service in Des Moines, he put in an application to the National Park Service, where his first assignment was Yellowstone National Park.
In 1993, he ended up in Tupelo as the human resources director for the Natchez Trace Parkway, a position he held until his retirement in 2000.
“That was my first retirement,” said Anderson, 75. “I immediately signed a contract with the Natchez Trace Parkway and traveled all over the country doing human resource reviews.”
In 2010, he retired from that job and took on the position of operations manager for St. Luke United Methodist Food Pantry in Tupelo. He left that post in January.
“Now, I have decided to do what I love to do – wood scrolls,” Anderson said. “I had done scroll work, just minor stuff, for many years. But I’d never been able to get anyone to help me on the finer points.”
In March, he and Lou, his wife of 55 years, took a trip to Branson, Missouri, and found a man, Gaylen Montgomery, who teaches scroll work classes.
“In three-and-a-half hours, he taught me to do what I do today,” Anderson said. “I’m going back next year to take a class on advanced scroll cutting – 3D.”
Anderson described scroll work as the electric art of carving wood.
“Instead of hand carving, we do it with machines,” he said.
In his garage in Tupelo, Anderson has a scroll saw, a miter saw, a drill press, a planer and sanders.
“Lou and I together pick patterns from the Internet,” he said. “I print them and trace them out onto pure pine wood – not knotty pine – and then I get to work cutting them out. It’s not just a matter of making intricate cuts – on some I may need to drill a hundred holes.”
Anderson said he uses about 40 different types of scroll saw blades. Some are not much thicker than a strand of hair.
“The blades I use most I have to use a magnifying glass on to see which direction the teeth on the blade are going,” he said. “The reason the blades are so important is there are, like, 17 teeth that point down and seven that point up. So that’s what gives me a smooth cut with no ragged edges.”
After Anderson has finished cutting a piece out with his scroll saw, he uses an orbital sander to make the wood as smooth as glass. Then he dips the piece in stain, pats it dry with towels, wipes it down and lets it dry.
Since March, he’s done about 150 pieces, including welcome signs, crosses, door initials, Nativity scenes, praying hands and Christmas ornaments, as well as pieces that show support for local police forces and registered nurses.
“One of the most challenging was a three-piece Nativity scene,” he said. “I wondered to myself if I could accomplish it. But I set my mind to it and I love to do that one now.”
Anderson has sold some of his pieces for between $20 and $45 through word of mouth and his Facebook page.
“I figure I give away more than I sell,” he said. “I sell them for just enough to cover my supplies. Any money left over I put back toward my trip to Branson for my next class.”
On a typical day in the Anderson household, Lou is busy in her recliner doing cross-stitch needlework.
“That’s when I head to the garage,” he said. “I can’t get enough of it. Somebody asked me how much longer I was going to do this and I said, ‘Until they put me under.’”

JACKSON – Efforts to keep three health insurers in the mix for Mississippians shopping on the federal exchange have been unsuccessful.
Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney has been trying to recruit a third insurer to offer policies on the healthcare.gov exchange, which will open for 2017 enrollment Nov. 1. This spring, United Health announced it was pulling back from covering counties in Mississippi and 15 other states in the Affordable Care Act exchanges, leaving only Humana and Magnolia/Ambetter.
“HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) did not approve a carrier that wanted to offer exchange coverage in all 82 counties of the state, citing lack of an adequate network and specialists in each county,” Chaney said in a statement.
Humana and Magnolia/Am-better will still offer insurance through the exchange. Most Mississippi counties will have only one choice of insurer on the exchange, although the carriers offer different plans with varying premium, deductibles and copays.
United was the only carrier offering coverage in all 82 Mississippi counties. In 2016, Humana covered 46 counties; Magnolia/Ambetter covered 52, including all the Northeast Mississippi counties.
The health insurance exchanges are the only place consumers can access tax credits and subsidies to help them pay for health insurance. Nearly 108,000 Mississippians purchased health insurance through the exchange for 2016; roughly 90 percent qualified for tax credits of subsidies.

OXFORD – Ole Miss cornerbacks coach Jason Jones says he’s getting five cornerbacks ready to play in the Rebels’ season opener a week from today against No. 4 Florida State.
Those five are starters Tony Bridges and Kendarius Webster, followed by senior Carlos Davis, redshirt freshman Jalen Julius and true freshman Jaylon Jones.
Though five will be ready, you don’t typically see five cornerbacks playing in a game.
The first sub will be Davis, a former walk-on who was once a running back and has always been a valuable member of the special teams, as he will be again this season.
“He had a really good spring. At the same time he worked a lot with Ken this summer, and he’s having a great fall camp, so he’s the third guy,” Jason Jones said.
Jones said Bridges, a first-year junior college transfer last season, has “come a long way” and seems more comfortable with the defense.
He had especially high praise for Webster, who has put on weight and put in extra time to improve his technique.
Seeing Webster in interview sessions, the work he did in the offseason strength program is easily visible.
While the Rebels intercepted 15 passes last year, they were also prone to give up big plays, ranking No. 13 in the SEC in passing yards allowed.
Pass coverage is an area to watch early in the season.
Deondre Francois may have a Heisman-worthy performance a week from now, you never know, but on paper it’s not a bad matchup for Ole Miss to open the season against a redshirt freshman QB making his first college start.
Jones has seen good work from his players in camp and is confident they’ll perform well.

WALNUT – It wasn’t pretty, but the Walnut Wildcats made just enough plays Thursday to defeat Falkner 31-14 in the 15th annual Joe Bowl.
The Wildcats (1-1) overcame penalties and miscues to outgain the Eagles 381-166 and reclaim the Joe Bowl trophy. With a slow start, the Wildcats led just 8-6 after one quarter.
“I told them all week that Falkner is very good and they are going to get better and better and they would have a plan to beat us,” Walnut coach John Meeks said. “In the first quarter, we were as flat as we could be. We couldn’t be any flatter.
“Overall, we played fairly well, but we still have things to fix.”
The Wildcats picked it up over the final three quarters. They recovered a fumble in the end zone late in the second quarter to take a 10-point lead into the break.
Quarterback Kevin Hurley found MSU commit Monterio Hunt for a 46-yard score in the third. Drew Pitney put the icing on the cake with a 32-yard TD run in the fourth.
Hunt finished with 52 yards rushing, including a 12-yard run in the first quarter. He had 104 yards receiving. Hurley went 9 of 14 for 197 yards.
Extra Points
Turning Point: Leading 8-6 late in the second quarter, Walnut caught the break of the game, as Jordan Nelson recovered a Falkner bad snap in the end zone to take a 16-6 lead just before halftime.
Point Man: Hunt totaled over 150 total yards for the second week in a row. He finished with 156 yards, a 12-yard rushing TD and a 46-yard TD catch.
Talking Point: “I saw some kids that didn’t quit that played hard the whole game. That’s important. By the time we get to division, I think we can be decent.” – Falkner (0-2) coach Quess Hood.
Notes
• Falkner RB Alex Caldwell had 150 rushing yards, including a 67-yard TD.
• Walnut had 15 penalties for 95 yards.
• The Walnut defense sacked Falkner QB Autry Windham five times. Tackles David Wick and Rickenta Garth had two each.
• Walnut has won eight of the last 10 Joe Bowls. | http://djournal.com/sports/jolting-joe-wildcats-make-plays-room-improve/ | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | djournal.com/560f80b840bd6fb94cda5f2e564c9855d56f7774005b58798cd8d5af531b3f06.json |

Daily Journal
OXFORD – Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly did not see game action against Florida State while at Clemson but became quite familiar with the Seminoles anyway.
One of the things he learned was to not completely trust the video.
“When I was at Clemson they showed a lot of different stuff on tape, and then we go out into the game, and they’re playing something totally different,” Kelly said. “We’ve just got to be prepared.”
Kelly has earned a reputation at Ole Miss of tenacious video study with long hours of breaking down opponents and studying his own game too.
He appeared in five games for Clemson in 2013 seeing action against South Carolina State, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Virginia and Georgia Tech.
Kelly’s record-setting season helped the Rebels go 10-3 last season, 5-1 against the SEC West, and win the Sugar Bowl.
His 4,542 total yards and 4,042 passing yards were the third-most in a season in SEC history.
Fadol Brown update
Starting defensive end Fadol Brown has been slow to return from a stress fracture in his foot and has missed practice this month.
Brown recently returned from seeing a specialist in Texas, saying the foot was feeling better.
What that translates to in practice remains to be seen. The Rebels are off today, and Brown will be evaluated in practice on Tuesday.
Brown appeared in 11 games with eight starts last year. He totaled 32 tackles with 4 1-2 tackles for loss, a sack and 10 pressures.
With his status unknown he is listed second on the updated depth chart with senior John Youngblood as the starter.
Haynes’ conflicted dad
Marquis Haynes is a Jacksonville, Florida native and is looking forward to facing the Seminoles in his home state.
Haynes grew up an LSU fan, but his dad, Maurice Haynes, was a Florida State fan then.
“When I first came down here it was hard for him to put it away, because he had been a fan for so long, but now the time has come. I get to show my talent against Florida State,” the younger Haynes said.
Haynes has shown considerable pass-rushing talent with 17 1-2 sacks over the last two seasons to rank fourth in the SEC over that span. His 10 sacks last season tied a school record.
Freeze successful in openers
This is football season No. 122 for Ole Miss, its fifth under Freeze as coach.
He’s not lost an opener and has played some quality teams, though none as strong out of the gate as appear to be the fourth-ranked Seminoles.
Freeze’s Rebels have defeated Central Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Boise State and Tennessee-Martin in the last four season openers.
Freeze is 64-25 in eight seasons as a head coach, 34-18 at Ole Miss.

There isn’t one prescribed method to overcome any horrible event.
One thing to love about sports is it can give people an outlet when everything in their life is turning upside down.
When everything in the world is changing, the football field will always be 100 yards long and the crossbar will always be 10 feet high.
Remember when Brett Favre threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns on a Monday night game after his father passed away?
Sports can a place of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic time in life.
When Baldwyn quarterback John Swinney’s father passed away last season, he looked to the football field and God.
“He’s really strong in his faith,” Baldwyn head coach Michael Gray said.
Swinney leads both teams in a prayer after each game in the middle of the field.
Armed with his faith and football, Swinney decided he wanted to grow through this. That is just the kind of person he is. It wasn’t easy, though. Overcoming one of the hardest times in someone’s life in high school can break a lot of people.
But Swinney is not a lot of people. He knows he is playing for his father every time he puts on his helmet under the Friday night lights.
“That’s something to play for every game,” he said. “He’s watching me. He never got to see me play, but he’s getting to see me now. I know that’s something to play for every game. It’s something that gives you a little motivation.”
Swinney threw for three touchdowns Friday in a 42-15 win over Mooreville.
Baldwyn has one of its strongest teams in years and has all the potential to make a state playoff run. When the team looks to its leader for strength at some point later in the season, there won’t be a need to worry. Swinney can handle the challenge.

NEW ALBANY – Stopwatches were fully functional Saturday morning as Mississippi’s high school cross season open in this corner of the state with the Myrtle Invitational.
Hosted at BNA Bank Park in New Albany, the meet featured just under 1,000 runners braving some late August heat, and several area runners and teams flashed some good fitness in four races.
The 1A-3A boys race saw Tupelo Christian Prep runner Brock Kelly pull away from the field to claim first place in a time of 17 minutes, 48 seconds over a revamped but still flat and fast 5K course. A pair of Mooreville runners were next, with Ivan Woods second at 18:14, and Dylan Allen third in 18:17.
No team scoring was announced, but Mooreville placed its top four runners among the top seven finishers to have the strongest showing.
“I’m thinking we have a good chance to run good this year, all the boys have the same mentality as last year,” said Mooreville coach Jim Talley, whose squad finished second in the state in Class 3A in 2015. “I was impressed by our 4-5-6 times today.”
Runners from TCPS also posted nicely in the 1-3A girls race, with Allison Hamby winning the race in 21:23. Gracie Pipkin from Hickory Flat was second in 21:45, and Emma Woolhouse from TCPS was third in 21:59.
TCPS had three of the top six finishers, with the strongest team showing.
Big-school power
In both the 4-6A races, runners from Arlington, Tennessee, claimed individual top honors, and had the strongest team showings. Ryan Redmon won the boys event in 16:53, and Erica Fisher won the girls in 19:51.
The Saltillo teams had the strongest area showing, beginning in the boys race with Joshua Peek finishing third overall in 17:31, and Ethan Caviness fourth in 18:03. The defending 5A state champ, Saltillo had five of the top 12 finishers.
Also the defending 5A champion, the Saltillo girls saw Katie Sumner finish fifth overall in 21:26, with Emma Kate White sixth in 21:37.
“We had a good day,” Saltillo coach Charles Covington said. “With the girls, we were happy with the top two, Katie Sumner and Emma Kate White.
“With the varsity guys, Joshua Peek ran really well, and and Ethan Caviness was strong. This was super early in the season, it was hot, and we still have a ways to go.” | http://djournal.com/sports/areas-runners-looking-sharp/ | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | djournal.com/a193ec726452cde39f8df6d5553f9cb930c56fea915950995908701f36db594d.json |

Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Gary Henderson wasn’t sure exactly what the future held when he resigned as Kentucky’s head baseball coach on June 1.
But a phone call from the past changed the future for the 2012 SEC Coach of the Year.
Mississippi State coach John Cohen, who Henderson had served under for six years with the Wildcats, called and offered an opportunity to rejoin his staff as the Bulldogs’ pitching coach.
That was all it took.
“It was just John Cohen,” Henderson said. “When I resigned, I certainly did not expect John to call me in three weeks but it was nothing more than that. It was that simple.”
Cohen and Henderson found success during their time together in Lexington, leading UK to two NCAA Regional appearances and the 2006 SEC Champion-ship.
When Cohen came to MSU in 2009, Henderson was promoted as the Wildcats’ head coach, going 258-199 with two more NCAA Regional berths in his eight seasons.
Now having head coaching experience, Henderson approaches his role as an assistant differently.
“Anybody that’s been a head coach that goes back to being an assistant coach is pretty much aware of things that you weren’t previously aware of,” Henderson said. “It makes you better and you know where the priorities need to be, where the issues could be and take a hand in solving them before they’re something that the head guy’s got to deal with.”
Although they haven’t worked together for the better part of a decade, Henderson still sees some of the same tendencies Cohen has after reuniting with him over the summer.
“The same basic person is still there,” Henderson said. “You change a little bit from your late 30s to your late 40s and early 50s. But he’s the same basic guy and his work ethic, intelligence, insight and awareness are all still intact.”
Henderson inherits a pitching staff depleted of seven arms by Major League Baseball including weekend starters Dakota Hudson and Austin Sexton.
“There’s some jobs to be earned,” Henderson said.
Henderson is the Diamond Dogs’ third pitching coach in less than a year after Butch Thompson left last October to take be head coach at Auburn and Wes Johnson departed immediately following the season to take the same position at Arkansas.

A few quick depth chart notes …
Rod Taylor first, Greg Little second at left tackle. No surprise there.
Defensively, John Youngblood is listed as the starter at one defensive end with Fadol Brown, the injured returning starter, at second team.
DeMarquis Gates is listed first at middle linebacker with grad transfer Rommel Mageo second. Expect Gates to play outside if Mageo picks up things quickly.
Zedrick Woods and C.J. Hampton are 1-2 at free safety. True freshman Deontay Anderson is the backup to true freshman Myles Hartsfield at Rover.
Senior Carlos Davis will be the No. 3 corner, but redshirt freshman Jalen Julius makes the 2-deep behind Tony Bridges.
Kick returns are Davis and Kailo Moore, and punt returns are Davis with Van Jefferson behind him.

Jonathan Holder, a sixth-round draft pick out of Mississippi State in 2014, was named International League pitcher of the week on Monday.
Holder, a reliever, has made a quick rise in the New York Yankees organization this summer, from Single-A to Double-A to Triple-A.
On Sunday, Holder pitched four innings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to pick up his 16th minor-league save of the season, six of those at Triple-A. He struck out the first 11 batters he faced, giving him 35 in 20 1/3 innings with the Rail Riders.
At Scranton, he’s 2-0 with an 0.89 ERA in 12 appearances. For the season, he’s struck out 101 in 65 1/3 innings.

Daily Journal
OXFORD – Players want to play.
That was the central theme of August camp for Ole Miss redshirt freshman Armani Linton, and he put himself in position to do just that.
Sometimes big plays are made on special teams, and Linton, the former Walnut star, won’t thumb his nose if that opportunity presents itself.
Linton will likely get his first college action a week from tonight as No. 11 Ole Miss opens the season against No. 4 Florida State in Orlando.
Linton worked some with the second team at free safety during camp, but as game week arrives he’s behind starter Zedrick Woods and backup C.J. Hampton.
The most important thing for Linton is getting on the field, and he’ll have the chance to earn his stripes with game reps.
“Of course I want to be a back-up safety, but if I can get on the bus by playing special teams first that’s a big key point for me.”
Coaches clearly gave Linton some attention in camp.
‘Eager to see’ youngsters
A number of redshirt freshmen “have shown flashes,” Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said.
“Montrell Custis (DB), Eric Swinney (RB), Armani Linton … all those are guys we’re eager to see.”
Linton is athletic, but it was his size and strength that really helped set him apart at a small school.
He rushed for 1,532 yards and 20 touchdowns, ran back two kicks for scores and had 50 tackles.
He’s played only on defense at Ole Miss. It’s more accurate right now to say he’s practiced defense. That’s something he hopes to change soon even if it’s special teams.
His speed could make him a natural on kick coverage units. The Rebels lost a big special teams playmaker in former Aberdeen star Channing Ward.
Ole Miss was third in the SEC in kick coverage last year with a 41.8-yard net average.
Linton knows he could carve a niche on special teams, but if he continues to absorb the playbook he can gain some line of scrimmage game reps, too.
“Sitting out for a whole year you get so antsy to play. You go to all the games, and you see your brothers out there playing like that, having fun. You get that antsy feeling,” Linton said. “I’m trying to finish learning the defense as a whole, learning the concepts of everything, the ins and outs of all the calls and checks.”

Oct. 22, at Kentucky: The Bulldogs are 7-0 against Kentucky under Mullen, including four wins in Lexington. That’s a trend that continues this year although it will be a close one with a much improved Wildcats’ team.
Winner: MSU
Oct. 29, Samford: Homecoming game will be the first time these two teams have met on the gridiron since 1963. It won’t be pretty for the visiting breed of Bulldogs.
Winner: MSU
Nov. 5, Texas A&M: The start of a pivotal four-game stretch in conference play to close out the regular season. MSU didn’t play well against the Aggies on the road last year.
Winner: Texas A&M
Nov. 12, at Alabama: Mississippi State is 0-7 against the Crimson Tide on Mullen’s watch. It’ll be 0-8 after this one.
Winner: Alabama
Nov. 19, Arkansas: The Bulldogs won a wild 51-50 shootout in Fayetteville last year with a blocked field goal on the final play. It will again be a close one and MSU has home field advantage.
Winner: MSU
Nov. 26, at Ole Miss: MSU has dropped two straight Egg Bowls to its state rival. The Bulldogs have only won once in Oxford under Mullen and their chances aren’t good this year.

Special to the Journal
A nice balance of defense and offense helped the Itawamba Community College Indians to a playoff berth for the 2015 football season.
But in the world of two-year colleges, graduation losses can appear to disrupt that balance.
The top 14 leading tacklers from last season for the Indians have graduated, at least on the surface leaving the Indians defense as off balance as that famous tower in Italy.
“We do have sophomores that are guys we’re counting on,” Itawamba coach Sean Cannon said. “I think the players are figuring out roles, figuring out how they can help.”
With only nine days before their season opener Sept. 1 against Gulf Coast, ICC will find some veteran leadership on defense on the line with tackle Lee Autry and end Kenney Wooten (Meridian). Cannon also reports that freshman Travis Sailo is making a noticeable impact in practice along the front.
At linebacker, sophomore Cody Shelton (Ripley) has emerged as a leader, as has freshman Tay Caruthers (Aberdeen).
The Itawamba secondary will find sophomore Deon Knox (Aberdeen) at one of the corners, and a bit of experience with redshirts Keshon Heard (Hamilton) and John David Little (Saltillo).
“We’re still working against each other, getting scout teams lined up, and concentrating on special teams,” said Cannon of the Itawamba practice focus this third week of practice. “I told the kids that the first game, the team that makes the fewest mistakes will win the ball game, so it’s all about preparation .”
Special teams
The Indians appear pretty set in the kicking game, with kicker Zack Ellis (Tupelo), and punter Rip Kirk (Grenada) returning, as well as snapper Matthew Stewart (Kossuth). Ellis also plays soccer at ICC, while Kirk is vying for playing time at quarterback. | http://djournal.com/sports/fresh-faced-indians-prep-opener/ | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | djournal.com/b472bfac21c00bc4be077b1c13c53adf22db5683b01febfaf1a9d63b84637f72.json |

Daily Journal
TUPELO – As a lover of books and an advocate for literacy, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker plans to donate 1,400 books from his Senate book collection to Mississippi libraries while bringing awareness to the Library of Congress’s Surplus Books Program.
Wicker sent out a letter to 52 public library systems asking libraries to submit requests from his book collection full of various genres and subjects.
Libraries can also ask for books in the Library of Congress’s surplus book collection.
The LOC receives more than 20,000 items per day, but only half of the materials – including books, audio and video recordings and maps – are retained for its permanent collection.
“We put Wicker’s collection and the Surplus Book Program together because a lot of Mississippi libraries need books,” said Blair Bailey, press secretary for Wicker’s office. “Why keep these books here when they would be better served in the state in public libraries?”
In a press release, Wicker said two-thirds of low-income families do not own any books for children.
“I will continue to support federal investments in literacy, successful public-private partnerships like Reading is Fundamental and better collections for our public libraries,” he said. “Access to books is one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children, to our communities and to our state.”
Jeff Tomlinson, director of the Lee County Library, received one of the letters from Wicker. He said he appreciates Wicker’s support in reaching out to public libraries admit library budget cuts.
“I think it’s great the Library of Congress is making these books available to public libraries,” Tomlinson said. “Senator Wicker is definitely looking out for us and making sure we are aware of this.”
