appeal.
Appeals to rulings
must come within 30
days, which would have
been Sunday.
“We have filed and
been granted at exten-
sion,” MEMA Public
Information Officer T.J.
Werre said Friday. “We
are still collecting infor-
mation and felt the exten-
sion was necessary.”
Werre said MEMA
officials have been work-
ing on the appeal since
shortly after the April 26
announcement.
“We have our coor-
dinator and emergency
managers assessing the
damage,” he said. “We’ll
also be using information
provided by local emer-
gency management.”
Much of local infor-
mation is coming from
the office of Lowndes
County Tax Assessor
Greg Andrews, who was
approached by Lowndes
County Emergency Man-
agement Director Cindy
Lawrence to compile a
thorough survey of prop-
erty damage.
Andrews said Thurs-
day that the exhaustive
work — assessing some
1,600 parcels in the
storm’s path — should be
completed this week.
“About two weeks af-
ter the storm, I flew the
storm area,” Andrews
said. “We came up with
1,624 parcels affected in
some way, some in a very
minor way, some in large
ways. Then we went back
to our office and looked
up the value of those par-
cels before the storm,
which turned out to be
$201 million in true value
for tax purposes.”
Andrews said his of-
fice then visited each
parcel to determine the
amount of damage.
“What we are about
to finish has been an or-
deal,” Andrews said. “We
had to go to each proper-
ty and make a determi-
nation: Is the property
5 percent damaged? 60
percent? 100 percent? We
made a call on each one.”
For example, Andrews
said a property with a
$50,000 tax value with 50
percent damage would
be considered a $25,000
loss.
“It’s hard to say what
the number will be when
we add it all up,” Andrews
said. “We’ll be done
(this) week, hopefully.
Then we’ll know what the
total number will be.”
A FEMA official con-
tacted Friday would not
talk specifically about its
determination on the Co-
lumbus tornado, instead
referring to FEMA pol-
icy for insight into how
agency decides on finan-
cial support for private
property losses.
In the section of the
policy that lists factors
FEMA uses in making

factors it considers: In-

Dowdle
Continued from Page 1A
“I can write a sermon
better talking to my chick-
ens out here than I could
sitting in an office all day,”
Dowdle said. “Really,
my health and faith has
played a huge part in this
farm.”
On Friday, church
members and friends
were piling into Dowdle
Farms picking up pounds
of chicken and dozens of
eggs. Church member
Linda Springstead picked
up her usual dozen eggs
and purchased a couple
pounds of fresh chicken to
make homemade chicken
spaghetti.
“I’ve been buying eggs
from him since he start-
ed,” Springstead said. “I
love them. He’s got me eat-
ing more eggs than I ever
thought I would be. We’ve
been blessed to have him
in the church with every-
thing he’s done.”
For Dowdle, selling
excess produce, chickens
and eggs to friends, fam-
ily and church members
hardly makes a profit.
“We’re not trying to
make any money do-
ing this,” Dowdle said.
“We’ve donated 50 or 60
eggs over to our church
food pantry to date. I
mean, we sell them too,
but we like to give ... to
people nice and fresh
food who can’t afford
them.”
The work on the farm
is a family affair, with his
daughters Chloe, 8, and
Sophia, 6, swimming in
the lake past the pasture.
Last year, Sophia wanted
to tend her own flock of
ducks. For an entire sum-
mer, she picked strawber-
ries and collected peas so
she could start her own
duck egg business.
“I gave her a dollar for
every bucket of strawber-
ries she picked,” Dowdle
said. “I told Sophia if she
wanted ducks, she had to
have money. She probably
thought we were going
to get four or five, but we
don’t do anything small
around here. We have 50
or 60. Sophia helps me
with the chickens and I
help her with the ducks.
Soon, she’ll start selling
her duck eggs.”
While walking
through his rows of vege-
tables, Dowdle picked up
a stalk of asparagus while
his daughters picked
fresh strawberries for a
mid-afternoon snack.
“There’s just no com-
parison between this and
the store,” Dowdle said.
“Carrots, broccoli, I won’t
buy that from the store
anymore. There’s just no
comparison. It’s much
fresher and cleaner. We
haven’t bought broccoli whether it’s somebody see tangible benefits. In

have fresh lettuce, we
generally just don’t buy

Farming and working
closely with nature, Dow-
dle said, has influenced
his faith.
“We have a responsi-
bility to take care of God’s
creation, especially if we
are gong to eat it,” Dowd-
le said. “Having enough
compassion and care for

A properly scrambled egg is
cracked into a bowl, and then

You pour that on the grill,

“scrambling” part. Instead,
he/she cracks a couple eggs

the yolks with the spatula, and
then moves the whole mess
around on the grill, using the
edge of the spatula to chop the
eggs into small fragments.

it is not a scrambled egg. It is a
fried egg, chopped. If you let it

Special treatment
of officials is
deeply alarming
Last week’s revelation that another Lee
County official received special treatment
following his 2018 drunken driving arrest is
deeply alarming.
After County Supervisor Billy Joe
Holland was arrested and charged with
driving under the influence in April 2018,
not only did he not get booked or have to
bond out, but his charges also were quickly
dismissed, as exposed in an exclusive Daily
Journal story by reporters Caleb Bedillion
and William Moore.
This is the second instance over the
past year in which a local official was given
preferential treatment by law enforcement.
Tupelo city attorney Ben Logan was never
booked in the Lee County Jail following his
December arrest on charges of DUI-refusal.
The two incidents show a clear pattern in
which justice is not evenly administered.
Instead, a privileged few - the wealthy,
the powerful, the elected - are able to es-
cape the same consequences that pummel
average citizens. And when there isn’t one
clear standard applied to everyone, it erodes
the public’s confidence in a system that was
designed to keep them safe.
For his part, Holland told the Daily
Journal he doesn’t know why the case was
dismissed and that he didn’t ask for such.
The second-term supervisor said he was
prepared to face the legal consequences of
his actions.
“I hate that it happened,” Holland said of
his arrest. “I messed up. It’s my fault, and
I’m moving on.”
Holland was stopped at a Mississippi
Highway Patrol checkpoint on April 6, 2018
and was taken to the Lee County Jail, where
a test showed his blood alcohol level to be
0.1 percent. The legal limit is 0.08 percent.
He received a citation for DUI-first of-
fense, but his picture never appeared on the
jail website, and his name was not written in
the jail’s docket book, a procedure normally
applied when individuals are arrested. Lee
County Sheriff Jim Johnson’s explanation
has shifted. He first insisted to the Daily
Journal that Holland was booked. When the
evidence didn’t bear that out, Johnson said
that he took responsibility for the manner of
Holland’s release. More recently, Johnson
has seemingly shifted responsibility and
now says that he always assumed Holland
was booked on the night of his arrest.
Meanwhile, former Lee County Prosecut-
ing Attorney James Moore said Sheriff John-
son called him and requested the charges
be dropped, a point that Johnson strongly
denies. Moore also said the absence of any
standard jail records helped shield Holland’s
arrest from the public for more than a year.
That’s not how our justice system is
supposed to work. All persons who break
any Mississippi law should be treated the
same and follow the same processes and
procedures, regardless of their job, race or
religion.
This continued pattern of abuse by local
elected and government officials gives us
concerns that the practice of preferential
treatment of the powerful in Lee County
goes much deeper and that more such inci-
dents will be revealed.
This flawed system of protecting the
good ol’ boys needs to stop immediately,
and officials need to be held accountable
for their role in it. The law must be equally
applied to all.

The Economy
What’s missing from Trump’s China policy
The Dow plunged 450
points on the opening
bell May 6 in response to
this presidential tweet:
“The Trade Deal with
China continues, but too
slowly, as they attempt
to renegotiate. No! The
10% will go up to 25%
on Friday.” Economists
eye this brinkman-
ship fearfully. Bank of
America/Merrill Lynch’s Mona Charen
global research team,
among many others,
has warned that a trade war could
cause a global recession. Desmond
Lachman of AEI notes that there
are splash back effects of imposing
harsh tariffs. They may succeed in
weakening China, but any “marked
slowing in the Chinese economy is
bound to have spillover effects on
those economies with strong trade
links to that country.”
Among those countries with
“strong trade links” to China would
be ours. Lachman is warning that
Trump’s policies may be under-
mining the strong economy, and
that this should worry him looking
at 2020. But before we get there,
spare a moment to savor the irony
of what Trump’s policies have so far state stopped forbidding it.
achieved on one of his favorite 2016
hobbyhorses -- the trade deficit. In
2016, the goods and services trade
deficit with China stood at $309
billion (which Trump frequently
exaggerated to $500 billion). As
of March 2019, the trade deficit
with China was $379 billion -- a 23
percent increase.
As nearly every economist will
attest, trade deficits are not import- can result in deportation include ob-
ant. Between 1980 and 2009, U.S.
employment rose when the trade
deficit went up and fell when the
trade deficit came down. Hmm.
Same thing seems to have hap-
pened in the first two years of the
Trump administration.
Employment and trade
deficits are both up.
Someone should tap
Trump on the shoul-
der and mention this.
Actually, don’t bother.
Gary Cohn talked him-
self blue in the face on
the subject to no avail.
Trump is frequently the
embodiment of the joke:
“Don’t confuse me with
the facts. My mind is
made up.”
This is not to say that China
should be free to cheat with impu-
nity. But Trump doesn’t seem to be
focused on the most serious threats
from China. He seems fixated on
the great crime China commits by
selling us products, rather than on
the threat to privacy and civil liber-
ties China’s authoritarian govern-
ment represents to its own citizens
and to the world.
China’s communist government
has permitted free enterprise (to
a point) and we all know what a
massive difference that has made
for the average Chinese person.
More than 800 million people lifted
themselves out of poverty once the
But in other respects, China has
remained as ruthless a Big Brother
as Orwell imagined. The internet
is successfully smothered by what
techies call “The Great Firewall of
China.” The press is controlled. In

tration camps. Transgressions that
serving Ramadan, growing a beard
or phoning relatives abroad. While
in camp, they are “reeducated.” In
March, after U.S. citizen Ferkat
Jawdat met with Secretary of State
Pompeo, his mother, aunt and uncle
were moved to a camp and then
sentenced to eight years in prison
as retaliation for Jawdat’s meeting.
But even for those not physical-
ly imprisoned, China is erecting
a virtual cage for everyone, with
cameras equipped with facial rec-
ognition software now ubiquitous,
“free” health checks that permit the
government to collect fingerprints
and DNA, mass surveillance by
police and neighborhood snitches,
and a system that would make Win-
ston Smith cringe: the “social credit
system.” This permits Big Beijing
to keep tabs on every phone call,
text message, jaywalking ticket and
night out with too much drinking.
If you transgress, you get demer-
its, and these can be used to deny
plane tickets, jobs or apartments.
Sometimes the state requires that
a special ringtone be added to the
miscreant’s phone so that he/she
will be embarrassed every time the
phone rings in public.
That’s only a sampling. Equally
worrying is China’s success in ex-
porting this sinister system as part
of its “Belt and Road Initiative.”
The Trump administration has
very recently begun to impose
limits on technology transfers to
Chinese tech firms. But the effort
has been slapdash. (In 2018, the
Commerce Department imposed
sanctions on Chinese telecom
company ZTE only to see Trump
reverse the decision).
Trump is focused on the non-
threat of Chinese exports while
ignoring the true threat of Chi-
na’s totalitarian system reaching
abroad. A few weeks ago, CBS
censored a comedy that mocked
China’s censorship. That ought to
worry us more than imported wash-
ing machines.

Vandy rallies for 11-10 win over

Ole Miss in SEC title game
The Associated Press
HOOVER, Ala. — The Vander-
bilt Commodores mostly breezed
into the Southeastern Conference
Tournament championship game.
That one was anything but a
breeze.
Philip Clarke’s two-out RBI sin-
gle in the bottom of the ninth gave
Vanderbilt an 11-10 comeback vic-
tory over Mississippi on Sunday
and the team’s first SEC Tourna-
ment title since 2007.
The Commodores (49-10)
surged into the NCA A regionals
as a potential No. 1 overall seed,
having won nine straight and 22 of
23. They came into the title game
with three wins by a combined
25-5 but had to rally from an early
9-1 deficit.
The only other close one was a
1-0 win over Mississippi State.
“We’ve had a lot of games where
we score early this year and to be
in that situation was something
new for us,” Clarke said. “To see
us come back from that, that gives
us a ton of confidence. It’s really
good to have moving forward.”
The Rebels (37-25) were seek-
ing their second straight tourna-
ment championship and appeared
well on their way with a six-run
first.
They had to play six games in
six days after failing to get a bye
from Tuesday’s opening round,
losing six straight before winning
the regular season finale.
“It’s been an incredible week
for us and man, did they play well
all week — including today,” Ole
Miss coach Mike Bianco said.
“One of the challenges is to go
through this gauntlet of the tour-
nament and get to this point and
be able to really compete in the
championship, and they did. They
gave it everything they had.”
Added Thomas Dillard: “No-
body really expected us to be
here. We kind of skidded at the
end of the year.”
Vandy surged back with five
runs in the fourth, including Pat
DeMarco’s three-run homer. That
inning made it 9-8 and the Com-
modores would tie it in the sixth
on Harrison Ray’s RBI double.
“Packing it in was never a
thought for anybody,” said Ray,
who doubled three times. “I think
the biggest thought was we were
just going to chip away at this lead
and we’re going to stay together.”
Ole Miss reliever Austin Mill-
er (5-3) struck out six consecu-
tive batters but was pulled after
walking the bases loaded with
two outs in the ninth. Clarke de-
livered Ryan Olenek’s first pitch
into right-center field for the
game-winning run, scoring Aus-
tin Martin.
It more than made up for strik-
ing out to end the seventh with
runners on the corners.
“I didn’t come through in the
bottom of the seventh so I felt like
I needed to in the bottom of the
ninth,” Clarke said.
SEC player of the year JJ Ble-
day of Vandy was named Most
Valuable Player. He singled, drove
in a run and walked twice in the
finale, including in the ninth.
Tyler Brown (3-1) pitched
three scoreless innings for Van-
dy, allowing two hits. Clarke went
3-for-6 with three RBIs.
Vandy coach Tim Corbin said
the biggest challenge after win-
ning a regular-season title is to
find out how much the team appre-
ciates “the value of competition”.
“You can see by the actions
of the guys that they value com-
petition,” Corbin said. “They did
things well and they put them-
selves in opportunities that they
could enjoy.”
Thomas Dillard and Grae
Kessinger drove in a pair of runs
each for Ole Miss, while Cooper
Johnson had three hits and scored
twice.
Johnson hit a one-out double
to left-center field for Ole Miss in
the ninth. But Brown struck out
Anthony Servideo and got Jacob
Adams to flyout to right field to
end the threat.
The Commodores wore olive
green uniforms honoring ser-
vice members on Memorial Day
weekend, something they’ve done
Sundays at home throughout the
season.

outing heading into the
NCA A tournament.
“I don’t even think
they’re thinking about
it,” Lemonis said. “They
had the last two days off
so their morale and their
focus is on protecting
our home turf.”
Senior center fielder
Jake Mangum continued
his campaign to pack
the stands at Dudy No-
ble Field this weekend,
making a plea to fans
that a raucous environ-
ment will help fuel the
team come tournament
time.
“College baseball
teams aren’t used to 14,
15, 16,000 people,” he
said. “I’ve done it for
four years and I’m still
not quite used to it. Your
presence matters. If
you want to get to (the
College World Series
in) Omaha, show up, be
loud, bring cowbells, all
of it. It goes a long way.”
While there is still
work to be done in
Starkville, the regional
winner will be paired
with the champions of
the Stanford Regional.
Joining the Cardinal out
in California are Sac-
ramento State, Fresno
State and UC-Santa Bar-
bara.
If MSU wins its re-
gional, it would also
host the super regional
round.
In all, 10 SEC teams
were selected for the
field of 64, while six
(MSU, Vanderbilt, Ar-
kansas, LSU, Ole Miss
and Georgia) were cho-
sen as regional hosts.
“That’s why they built
this place — to host re-
gionals, to host super
regionals and our fans
will be out,” Lemonis
said. “It will be a great
weekend. It will be very
competitive, but we’re
looking forward to it.”

NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE

Krug’s old-school helmetless shift may be among NHL’s last
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Torey Krug
worried afterward that his
pregnant wife would not really
like him flying down the ice and
delivering a bone-crushing hit
without a helmet on.
There wasn’t anything he
could do about it now.
Krug provided a signature
moment of the Boston Bruins’
4-2 victory against the St. Louis
Blues in Game 1 of the Stanley
Cup Final on Monday night. Af-
ter getting his helmet ripped off
in a tussle with David Perron he
skated down the ice seconds lat-
er, racing 150 feet and absolute-
ly drilling Robert Thomas with
an open-ice body check.
The hit fired up the bench
and the raucous crowd but it
could be the last time a play like
that ever happens. NHL general
managers have endorsed a pro-
posal that would require a play-
er without a helmet to go to the
bench instead of finishing his
shift. The NHL Board of Gover-
nors has not yet voted on it.
“I’m sure my coach and my
GM were hoping that I would
just get off the ice at that point,”
Krug said. “But that’s hockey.”
Krug’s old-school look fly-
ing down the ice with his lid
still on the ice is a rare sight in
the NHL, which put in a grand-
fathered helmet rule in 1979
and recently did the same with
visors. Krug said first and fore-
most players need to take care
of their heads, though with
the Stanley Cup on the line, it
wasn’t really on his mind.
He was angry. And you
wouldn’t like Krug when he’s
angry.
“I was battling with their guy
in front, got up without a helmet
and wasn’t too happy about it,”
Krug said. “Just came down the
ice and had a chance to make
a hockey hit. And it turned
out to be a good one. So it was
big. Hopefully it gave the guys
a boost on the bench, and the
crowd obviously liked it.”
The hit came in the third
period after Sean Kuraly’s go-
ahead goal, and fans erupted
into a “We want the Cup!” chant
after Krug laid out Thomas.
“That was awesome,” team-
mate Marcus Johansson said.
“That was fun.”
Thomas paid the price for
Perron making Krug mad, and
the Blues weren’t all that happy
about the hit. Krug did skate
a long way — he was catching
up to the play — and while St.
Louis coach Craig Berube said
he didn’t see the hit, some of his
players took some exception to
it.
“He came hard at Thomas,”
Blues forward Brayden Schenn
said. “I’m not sure if Thomas
touched the puck or not. But it
what is. Playoff hockey. We’ll
see how to handle it.”
Minutes after an emotional
comeback victory, Krug flashed
a smile about the fact he got a
haircut a few days ago. Told
of the planned rule change to
make players go to the bench,
Krug said simply, “Then I’ll go
to the bench.”
Or maybe players will resist
the rule change, which has al-
ready been instituted in the
American Hockey League as a
way to protect against head in-
juries.
“I’m not sure,” said Radko
Gudas, the NHL Players Asso-
ciation representative for the
Philadelphia Flyers. “If guys
feel comfortable playing with-
out a helmet, why wouldn’t he?”
Krug is a 5-foot-9 defense-
man accustomed to opponents
trying to hit him at every turn
and get under his skin, so there
are few situations where he’s
not comfortable. He’s far bet-
ter known for putting the puck
in the net than putting other
players on the ice, but if Boston
wins this series, Krug’s helmet-
less shift will go down in hock-
ey lore.

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May
28). A flash of passion and
excitement starts the solar year.
A June quest embodies your
devotion to an ideal. Kindred
spirits join you. Together you’ll
revitalize a section of the world
that badly needed attention.
A series of interesting August
encounters leads to a com-
mitment to one fulfilling path
or person. Invest in October.
Scorpio and Capricorn adore
BABY BLUES you. Your lucky numbers are: 9,
30, 19, 44 and 6.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Not only can work be enjoyable;
it can be the most enjoyable
thing you’ve got going. This is
why work, like love, is an area
of your life in which you can’t
afford to settle.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Set up some filters for yourself.
You’ll create success with
elegance and simplicity as you
focus exclusively on what you
want to happen in your day and
in your life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
A gift has to cost something to
mean something. That doesn’t
necessarily indicate an expense
of money. In fact, to someone
who has a lot of money, dollars
are the least valuable currency
to exchange.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Young people have something
to offer you. They’ll approach
your problems differently than
you would, so this provides new
insights and options (once you
get past your own judgment and
resistance to their attitude).
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You’ll be surprised by what
another person knows. It’s only
going to take one excellent
question to crack open the vault
and get some good stories flow-
ing. This question will be casual
though astute.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People see what you’ve done,
and they make decisions about
you based on this small slice of
information. You know what you
feel you’re capable of and what
you’re willing to commit to. Go
with your version and nobody
else’s.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Your body will talk to you in its
language of sensations and
reactions. You may be a little
amazed at how much there still
is to learn about taking care of
it. Then again, the requirements
are always changing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). However you feel about a
thing right now, expect that the
feeling will change. No becomes
yes; yes becomes of course...
and that’s only the start. Don’t
make declarations that might
cage you in. Build flexibility into
every plan.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Those with high-minded
insight and a mountaintop
perspective will offer an over-
view, but you’ll also need some
practical advice. In fact, you’ll
need the practical advice more
than the overview.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Everyone is going to get
to the future at the same time.
No amount of money can make
next week come sooner or today
last longer. Claim your time, and
cherish it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). There’s nothing wrong with
being terrible at a thing. In fact,
being terrible repeatedly is the
only way to get truly good. What
makes an endeavor worthwhile
isn’t your inherent skill but your
level of enjoyment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). In moments, it seems
you’re separate and having an
experience all our own. Then
suddenly, it changes. You’re
operating inside shared feelings
and thoughts, making a differ-
ence that could only be made
through a group.
