Court delays police shooting case

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

A trial in a civil lawsuit filed against the city of Booneville and two police officers by the family of a man who died after being shot during an altercation with police has been moved to the summer.

The suit against the city and officers Brian Mays and Rusty McCoy filed by the family of

he was shot by McCoy on April 23, 2012. Both officers were cleared of any criminal wrongdoing in the case after evidence was presented to a Prentiss County grand jury. The grand jury refused to issue any criminal indictment against either officer.

Curtiss died following the shooting which occurred as officers responded to a 911 call

David Andrew Curtiss had been scheduled to go before a federal jury beginning Feb. 23. An order filed this week has rescheduled the trial for Aug. 31 in U.S. District Court in Aberdeen.

Mays, McCoy and the city were sued in 2013 by Curtiss’ sons who claim their father’s civil rights were violated through the use of excessive force and other violations when

reporting a disturbance outside the home of his ex-wife, Cheryl Curtiss, on Stanley Street Extended.

The family’s civil suit argues Curtiss was unarmed, posed no threat to the officers and was complying with McCoy’s orders when Mays shot him first with a Taser stun gun and then McCoy shot him with a handgun while he was incapacitated from the

stun gun shot.

The suit claims the officers used unnecessary force and argues officers were provided with insufficient training in the use of force by the police department.

The city and the officers have filed a response to the lawsuit denying all claims against them made by the family. They have sought a dismissal of the case.

Inmates bring pot into jail Main Street leader

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

A pair of state inmates are headed back to Parchman.

Walter Lee Tutor, 22, and Dustin Lowe, 26, were caught by guards attempting to bring marijuana into the Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility on Tuesday.

“They each had marijuana duct taped to their leg when they came in off work detail at separate times,” said Darrell Hopkins with the Alcorn Narcotics Unit.

The unit was contacted by guards and took possession of the marijuana, according to Hopkins.

Both have been charged with

felony introduction of a controlled substance into a correctional facility and their bond set at $10,000.

Tutor tried to smuggle Lowe 15 ounces of weed into the facility while Lowe had approximately a pound of marijuana when stopped by guards.

“Supposedly, someone in prison had given them $100 to bring the dope in,” said Hopkins.

Hopkins said prisoners who are on work detail come up

with creative ways to get the dope.

“Sometimes they will call local people and have them drop it in a can of something then Tutor throw in it the garbage if they are working with the street department,” said Hopkins. “They think of all kinds of ways to get it.”

Both men will be transported back to the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman and lose their inmate work program status.

Main Street Director Taylor Coombs will soon take on a new job with the Corinth School District.

The district’s board of trustees approved the hiring of Coombs Monday evening for a job that includes data management for the Innovative Approaches to Literacy Grant as well as marketing for the district. She will leave the Main Street post and begin that job on March 2.

“I am extremely excited about being involved with promoting the district that I am a product of and have loved my whole life,” said Coombs. “Corinth School District holds a huge spot in my heart, and I am thrilled to be a part of the future of Corinth. I am looking forward to working with local partners and leaders in our community to

Men — remember loved one on Valentine’s

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Don’t forget.

The male population in the area should remember those two words come Saturday.

Another thing to keep in mind for men is you don’t have to break the bank when showing the woman you love how much you care on Valentine’s Day. “You can do anything … it all depends on what your budget is,” said Ann’s co-owner Kim Roberts. “We offer a nice arrangement for only $25.”

The store had over a 1,000 roses arrive Tuesday in preparation of Saturday’s big day.

“The flowers were cut in South America on Saturday and in our store on Tuesday to be

“The longer the stem the better the rose is,” she said.

Another tip for men is to not wait to the last minute.

“We advise giving the florist a day’s notice if at all possible,” said Roberts. “Anything they think of when it comes to flowers, we have.”

Employees will be working extended hours to get ready for Valentine’s Day. “We will be working late into the night on Friday and then come in two hours earlier on Saturday,” said Roberts.

Roberts offered one last piece of advice.

“This is the biggest time of the year for roses,” she said. “But memories are what last … it’s the meaning behind the flowers that people won’t forget.”

“They are really big this year.

The roses are so unusual that you don’t see them often.”

Tie-dyed roses have become the signature gift for Valentine’s Day. “They are really big this year,” said Roberts. “The roses are so unusual that you don’t see them often.”

Roberts also encouraged men to go for the longer stem roses.

Rick Quinn is gradually making improvements in a Memphis hospital five weeks after his near-fatal wreck.

The Corinth businessman suffered serious injuries in a Jan. 9 wreck when he apparently lost control of his BMW in the Afton subdivision in North Corinth. He left the roadway, hit a tree and overturned into a lake, where firefighters found his vehicle fully submerged in frozen water.

Once pulled from the water, Quinn was resuscitated and transported to Magnolia Re-

gional Health Center. He was later flown to Regional One Health in Memphis where he remains.

“Dad has begun the rehabilitation process,” said his son Matt Quinn. “He’s very alert and getting back to his old self -- happy and cheerful.”

The younger Quinn said his father will start full-time rehab within the next week, but will remain at the Memphis hospital for an unknown time period.

Senators back effort to force balanced budget

Young doctor embraces rural practice Associated Press

FULTON — After 21⠄2 years as a family physician in Fulton, Dr. Ben Kilman is exactly where he wants to be.

His patient population stretches from newborn to 99.

He already can claim a handful of four-generation families. “I’ve wanted to do family practice since I was 5 years old,� Kilman said. “I liked knowing about everything. In rural family practice, you get to go very broad.�

The 31-year-old Kilman has gotten his wish. He routinely finds himself managing cases that he would refer if he were practicing in a town like Tupelo, where specialists are

available around the corner.

His older patients often would rather not drive out of town. “We do things here I would not if I was in a bigger city,�

Kilman said. “Being in Fulton enables me to go a lot more in depth in certain diseases.�

Kilman is one of five primary care physicians in Itawamba County clinics.

They, along with 10 nurse practitioners, cover the 23,300 people who live in Itawamba County as well as much of the surrounding rural areas along the state line. Like most Mississippi counties, it’s considered a shortage area. “Fulton is fairly well covered,� especially compared to

some areas, Kilman said. “No extended hours is the biggest gap.�

Personally and professionally, Kilman was predisposed toward rural primary care practice.

He grew up on the outskirts of Clinton, and his wife Nicole grew up in very rural Start, Louisiana. A big city wasn’t on their wish list.

His aspirations to focus on primary care in a rural area got another lift in medical school with a rural medicine scholarship that required him to work in an underserved area. “It helped me leave medical school with a smaller burden,�

Kilman said.

JACKSON — State senators want to sign Mississippi onto a plan for a nationwide constitutional convention that would force the federal government to balance its budget and require states’ permission to increase the national debt.

The Senate voted 30-18 Wednesday to pass Senate Bill 2389, part of a nationwide effort by conservative groups including the Goldwater Institute and the American Legislative Exchange Council, to get three-fourths of states to call such a convention.

It seeks to limit the conclave to a single vote on the balanced budget proposal written in the law, and to provide for automatic approval of the pre-agreed amendment by the states that adopt the compact.

Under typical plans for a convention, states would have to act twice, to call a convention and then ratify proposed amendments to the U.S. Constitution “The compact basically rolls all that process into one,� said Byron Schlombach, director of the Center for Economic Prosperity at the Goldwater Institute of Phoenix, Arizona.

He said Alaska and Georgia have adopted the compact so far.

If adopted, the federal government would have to get permission from a majority of states to increase debt.

Mississippi Senate Finance Committee Chairman Joey Fillingane, R-Sumrall, repeatedly warned other senators that he believed the United States is only a few years away from being refused further borrowing by creditors. “If you’re looking at the national debt, it is skyrocketing

right now,� Fillingane said. “You simply cannot sustain that.�

The plan won support from state Sen. Chris McDaniel, R-Ellisville, who lost an insurgent primary challenge last year to U.S. Sen Thad Cochran, R-Miss. Supporters say one underlying goal is limiting the powers and expansion of the federal government by limiting its access to money, and McDaniel launched an attack on spending echoing his campaign. “I’ve heard more about farm subsidies; I’ve heard more about post offices,� McDaniel said. “It’s on borrowed money.

It has to stop. For love of God, we have to stop the spending.�

Opponents noted Mississippi may be the state most dependent on federal funding.

Of the $20 billion that last year’s Legislature appropriated, almost $9 billion was federal money. “If it was not for our big brother known as the federal government, Mississippi would be in trouble,� said Sen. Willie Simmons, D-Cleveland. “We’d either be paying triple what we currently pay in taxes or we’d be providing fewer services.�

Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, zeroed in on part of the plan that would allow a special exemption from state approval if Congress wanted to replace income taxes with a national sales tax, saying that would shift the tax burden from the rich to the poor. “This is simply an idea to reduce federal spending and to make sure the wealthiest people in the nation pay even less in taxes than they do now,�

Bryan said.

The measure moves to the Mississippi House for more debate.

third-grade skills. “The challenge is going to be students will take those tests, but the cut score will not be approved by the State Board of Education until May 15, and then the first opportunity for retest will be May 18 through 22,� said Superintendent Lee Childress. “So, that won’t give us much time to remediate those children that we have identified. However, there will be another opportunity in June for them to be retested, which will give us an opportunity to do some additional remediation and intensive intervention

with those students.�

The district will look at an extended-year program focused on reading to help those students.

The testing is a result of the 2013 LiteracyBased Promotion Act, which requires thirdgrade students to pass the assessment unless they qualify for a good cause exemption, which is available in limited circumstances.

The new law has made reading instruction a major focus of kindergarten through third grade.

Throughout the school year, teachers have provided intensive reading instruction to students reading below grade level.

Rival proposals filed to end Health officials roll out statewide stroke network Cleveland schools oversight velop protocols for first responders, hospitals and doctors. Mississippi is the first state to have three networks in place.

“It’s a great collaboration,” said Jim Craig, director of health protection for the Mississippi State Health Department. “It’s about getting the right patients to the right facility in the right amount of time.”

The first link in the chain is getting people to recognize a stroke and act quickly, Newell said.

If someone has a sudden attack of dizziness, numbness, especially on one side, trouble talking or understanding, they don’t need to wait more than five minutes for symptoms to resolve. Call 911.

“You need to take it seriously,” Newell said.

Under the protocols, emergency medical crews are using assessment scales to check for suspected stroke patients and heading for the closest hospital that can identify and start treatment.

Mississippi hospitals can designate themselves as one of three stroke-ready levels based on the care they can provide.

Most hospitals are designated as Level 3 stroke hospitals.

TUPELO — A statewide collaborative network is giving strokes the heart attack treatment.

The Mississippi Stroke Network system of care is up and running. Similar to the STEMI (heart attack) and trauma systems, the goal is to quickly identify and treat strokes, minimizing the damage to the brain.

“It provides a structure to make sure patients are treated in a timely manner,” said Tupelo neurologist Dr. Sam Newell.

Strokes, which are the fifthleading cause of death in Mississippi, occur when blood flow is cut off to part of the brain; they can be caused by a clot or by bleeding.

The strokes caused by clots can be treated with a clotbusting drug tPA. It must be given within three hours of the onset of symptoms, and doctors have to rule out a bleeding stroke or other possible conditions, like brain tumors, before it’s administered, Newell said.

Corinth, Miss.

Brinker: Metropolis produced more than just one super man STARKVILLE — In the DC Comics I read as a boy, Metropolis was since 1939 a grand city that was home to Superman and The Daily Planet newspaper, where Superman’s alter ego Clark Kent worked and kept a close eye on Lois Lane.

But in the real world, there’s a real town in southern Illinois that lays substantial claim to the comic book hero and it’s called Metropolis, Illinois. The town’s newspaper is called The Metropolis Planet. On Jan. 28, the newspaper ran an obituary of a real life hero and a truly super man. His name was Stanley R. and he died on Jan. 16 at Sid Salter Brinker the age of 71.

Columnist Brinker grew up on a farm and played high school basketball in Metropolis High School in the late 1950s before winning a basketball scholarship in 1960 to play for Mississippi State College’s Maroons and legendary head coach Harrison “Babe” McCarthy.

By 1963, Mississippi State’s basketball teams had missed multiple trips to the NCAA tournament. For three consecutive years, Mississippi State had won the Southeastern Conference title and with it the right to play in NCAA postseason action.

But each time, the school had been forced to abide by the “unwritten rule” that kept white Mississippi college teams from playing against integrated teams. In 1963, MSU President Dean Colvard and McCarthy risked their careers and some believe their lives by arranging to sneak the team out of Mississippi to face the integrated Loyola University of Chicago Ramblers.

A photo of Brinker shaking hand with Loyola player Vic Rouse and a similar photo of MSU’s Joe Dan Gold shaking hands with Loyola’s Jerry Harkness made Sports Illustrated and every newspaper in the country. The 1963 “Game of Change” — as it came to be known — changed college basketball in a fundamental way.

Brinker and his teammates weren’t there as barrier breakers. They simply wanted to compete. Brinker would later say: “The only thing I thought was, ‘We’re finally going to be able to play NCAA,’ not that we’d go play Loyola Chicago or against an integrated team or anything like that. It was just, we’re going to get to go play.”

Brinker took part in reunions events a halfcentury later — two in Chicago and one in Starkville as MSU hosted the old Loyola players along with our own. I spent time with Brinker and talked with him about how the 1963 game impacted his life and work.

Stan went on to play a couple of years of semi-pro ball, scoring 43 points in one game.

In 1966, Brinker joined the U.S. Air Force.

His tours of duty included Maxwell Air Force Base; Binh Thuy, Vietnam; Andrews AFB; Eglin AFB; Wright Patterson AFB; and the Pentagon. He rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and played instrumental parts in the defense programs including laser guided bombs; the F-15 Fighter program, where he served as chief of contracts; and former President Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” missile defense program.

Retiring from the Air Force in 1987, Stan and his wife, Jan, ran a motel and marina in the Florida Keys and then began a 20-year second career as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA in Bradenton, Florida.

The Brinkers retired to Grant, Alabama, in the Guntersville Lake area southeast of Huntsville.

Brinker was survived by his wife, two sons, five grandchildren, a sister and three brothers.

I will remember the broad smile on Stan’s face when he re-enacted the handshake with Loyola’s Harkness on the court in MSU’s Humphrey Coliseum in 2013 – both men beaming through shining eyes as they honored those players and coaches present and those who had gone on before them both.

What a super man Stan Brinker truly was.

Even in that losing effort to Loyola in 1963, Brinker knew what a tremendous victory for fair play and sportsmanship was won that day in East Lansing, Michigan and he remained proud of being part of it all of his marvelous life.

Prayer for today My Father, help me to choose the road that leads to my work, and may I not fail to reach it, by wandering away from it. Keep me in touch with the human side of life, holding in mind that “Truth and honesty are the noblest works of God.” Amen.

A verse to share Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

— Romans 8:1-2

Reaching the masses The New York Times comes to the mailbox in fits and starts, sometimes three papers a day, often none at all. The hard copy was my Christmas gift for my husband and, admittedly, for myself. We both hate reading newspapers online.

Despite the lateness and feast-or-famine delivery, it is good to be almost buried alive in newsprint.

Whenever I need a fix, I grab up whatever section is handiest, and always find news of interest and discover things I did not know before.

This morning I plucked the obituary page, B-16, of a week-old issue. I read that Rod McKuen had died. He was a poet, songwriter and butt of many critics and jokes. McKuen laughed at his detractors all the way to the bank. He lived in Beverly Hills in an bedroom, 15,000-square-foot mansion ....”

Everyone in the early 1970s had one of his books or records or, at the least, a greeting card with his ro-

mantic poetry as text.

If my college dormitory in the early 1970s was any indicaRod Rheta tion, Johnson McKuen was the poet of Columnist the people, at least those who loved emotional writing about love, loss, cats and flowers.

The poet believed his incredible success had “soured the critics,” The Times said. It’s an age-old pattern. If something becomes too popular, has mass appeal, it can’t possibly be any good. At least that’s the way the critics read it.

As if to prove McKuen’s theory, on Page B-15 was the obituary of Colleen McCullough, author of “The Thorn Birds,” which sold 30 million copies and became a popular television mini-series. She died the same day as McKuen.

McCullough wrote 20

books in all, but it was the Australian love story involving a beautiful wife’s illicit affair with a handsome Catholic priest that sold best and made her millions.

McCullough wasn’t a darling of the critics, either.

Reviewers “took the author to task for sins ranging from stilted dialogue to the profligate use of exclamation points,” The Times said.

Like McKuen, McCullough didn’t seem to give a fig what the critics thought.

At least it didn’t stop her from typing. Known for her speed, she could write up to 30,000 words a day, which might sound like a lie if, say, William Faulkner had said it.

I’m not sure there’s a moral to this Tale of Two Obits, except, maybe, love is a state that allows, even demands, escapist literature. The critics can pan poetry that’s too accessible, or judge harshly a plotline punctuated with exclamation points, but if the ob-

jective is to communicate, these writers did.

This measure of worth for literature doesn’t always work. One would have to dismiss Shakespeare and Harper Lee as hacks. I’ve never read “The Thorn Birds” and haven’t thought about Rod McKuen in decades. But I know from personal experience it is every writer’s wish to have written something, anything, which people actually will read.

Both writers had terrible childhoods. They wrote about them in their respective memoirs. Perhaps that’s why they erred on the side of sentimentality and romance in their work.

Perhaps they, too, were escaping, from “crowded rooms and lonesome tunes and very little sky...,” as poet McKuen wrote.

Hyphenated-Nation As if we aren’t already divided enough by race, class, gender, political party, economic status and sexual orientation, the federal government is reportedly thinking about creating a new category of Americans just in time for the next census.

According to the Associated Press, “The U.S. Census Bureau will test the new Middle East-North Africa classification for possible inclusion on the 2020 census if it gets positive feedback about the proposed change by (last) Sunday, when the public comment period ends.”

Americans of Arab descent have previously been classified as “white” in the census, but carving out a special category for them will allow this group access to federal dollars and likely create another group to which politicians can pander for votes.

The unofficial “motto” of the United States has been E. Pluribus Unum: out of many one. The traditional idea behind the slogan was that the Founders were creating a single nation out of many (13) colonies.

It wasn’t about uniformity, but unanimity. While people then differed about politics and all sorts of

other things – and still do today, sometimes vehemently – the Founders identified a Cal strain runThomas ning through the new Columnist America that united us not only in language, but in the singular pursuit of liberty and religious freedom. Our identity as a nation would not be where we came from, if an immigrant, but where we choose to live.

With the exception of World War II and more recently the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, in modern times that unanimity has been fragmented by “groups” competing for national attention, face time on TV, political influence and money. Our national motto today could easily be, “out of one, many.”

Hyphenating Americans dilutes our sense of what it means to be an American, just as pouring water into a glass of milk dilutes and eventually replaces the milk.

Thomas is a Welsh name, but to my knowledge my ancestors never saw themselves as “Welsh-Americans.” In the mass migra-

tion of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, people came from other countries to America because they believed this land was a better one for themselves and their children than the one they were leaving. They wanted to assimilate and for their children to become fully American with all of the opportunities that the name implies for people willing to work.

Division does not serve the interests of the country, or the interests of a divided people.

It only serves the political interests of those promoting division. Promoting division along racial and class lines is driving us apart at a time when our enemies seek to destroy us.

While fomenting internal strife might get you a TV program, it does nothing to guide people toward a better life.

Comedian Whoopi Goldberg resents being called African-American. She has said, “I’ve visited Africa ... and I’m American.” She has also said such hyphenations “divide us as a nation and as a people.” She is right.

The Founders were concerned about divisions, beginning with political parties. John Adams said:

World Wide Web: www.dailycorinthian.com To Sound Off: E-mail: email: news@dailycorinthian.com Circulation 287-6111 Classified Adv. 287-6147

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other.

This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.”

George Washington agreed. In his farewell presidential speech, Washington said: “The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.”

They were talking about divided parties. Imagine what they would think now that our divisions have multiplied and America now resembles a family quarrel with no winners and much to lose.

No good can come of this.

None has.

Stocks change little after quiet day NEW YORK — Stocks indexes closedessentially flat after a quiet day of trading.

Energy stocks fell Wednesday after the price of oil took another tumble. Traders were watching a meeting of European finance ministers where Greece was seeking more favorable terms for its rescue loans.

The Dow Jones industrial average edged down six points, less than 0.1 percent, to 17,862. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was little changed from the day before at 2,068.

The Nasdaq composite rose 13 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,801.

The price of oil fell $1.18 to $48.84 a barrel in New York. Oil has lost more than half its value since last June as supplies increase and demand weakens.

PepsiCo rose 2.5 percent after reporting earnings that were better than analysts were expecting.

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ puzzles given to kids MONESSEN, Pa. — Parents in a Pennsylvania school district are turning 50 shades of red over word search puzzles given to middle school students based on an erotic novel and movie.

The students in Monessen were given puzzles based on “Fifty Shades of Grey” that contained terms including “spanking,” ‘‘submissive,” ‘‘leather cuffs” and “bondage.”

Other words on the list were more explicit.

Parent James Carter complained about it at Tuesday night’s school board meeting, saying he tried to question the school’s principal and dean of students, but they refused to talk when he insisted on recording their conversation.

“I wanted to record the conversation because a lot of parents had questions about it, and I was denied that,” Carter told the board.

Monessen district officials said at the meeting that they couldn’t discuss the issue because they just learned about it Monday. Superintendent Leanne

Spazak said the circumstances of the puzzle are under investigation.

One school board member who didn’t attend the meeting told WTAE-TV that the puzzle was a big mistake.

“It was a huge but unintentional error and collected from the five students involved as soon as it was realized,” Roberta Bergstedt wrote in an email.

“Unfortunately one copy was taken by a student who then posted it on social media.”

The movie opens in theaters Friday. It’s based on a best-selling book by E L James about a college student and her torrid affair with a 27-year-old billionaire with a penchant for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism.

Juror taken off trial for personal reasons FALL RIVER, Mass.

— Another juror was dismissed in the murder trial of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez on Wednesday, marking the second time in two weeks a panelist has been removed from the case.

Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh told jurors after a short session Wednesday morning that they may have noticed another empty seat in the jury box.

“That was for reasons that were entirely personal to that juror,” Garsh said. “It has nothing to do with this case.”

She did not elaborate.

It was the same explanation Garsh gave to jurors last week when she dismissed another juror. In that instance, Garsh said in court out of the jury’s presence that there was evidence the juror had discussed the case in detail and expressed the belief that it would be difficult to convict Hernandez without a murder weapon, which has never been found.

Hernandez is charged in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins.

The panel is now made up of 16 jurors, and 12 will ultimately decide Hernandez’s fate. Alternates will be selected randomly immediately before deliberations.

Wednesday was the first day back in court since Feb. 5. Jurors spent Friday on a police-escorted motor coach tour of various sites important to the case, including Hernandez’s home and the crime scene.

On Monday and Tuesday, court was canceled because of snow.

On Tuesday afternoon, the court released Garsh’s decision to grant prosecutors’ request for immunity for Jenkins, which could compel her to testify or face time behind bars.

Jenkins appeared in court in her usual spot, sitting behind Hernandez. The two smiled at each other, and Hernandez complimented Jenkins on her new hairstyle, then winked at her. She laughed in response.

As Hernandez left court at the end of the session, he whispered, “I love you” to Jenkins.

Testifying on Wednesday were police officers and a firefighter who responded to the scene where Lloyd’s body was found. Hernandez’s lawyers have tried to portray the investigation as shoddy.

The trial was scheduled to resume Friday.

Grave urination charges dropped BALTIMORE — Baltimore County prosecutors have dropped the charges against a Cleveland Browns fan caught on video urinating on former Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell’s grave last summer.

Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger said the disorderly conduct in a cemetery charge against 62-year-old Paul Serbu, who posted a video of himself on the Internet urinating on Modell’s grave, was dropped Tuesday. Shellenberger said Serbu wrote an apology letter to the Modell family, and agreed to appear on David Modell’s radio show and “subject himself to questioning about the incident.”

Shellenberger added that prosecutors learned after the incident that Serbu suffers from medical problems that “may have led to his lack of judgment.”

Serbu could have faced up to two years in jail and a $500 fine.

House OKs raise for assistant teachers JACKSON — The Mississippi House has voted to give assistant teachers a substantial pay raise.

The base pay for the job is $12,500 a year.

A bill that was debated Wednesday originally would have set the base pay at $13,500.

The House accepted a proposal by Democratic Rep. Cecil Brown of Jackson to set the base pay at $15,000.

Some local school districts provide salary supplements for teachers and assistant teachers.

It is unclear whether the pay plan will survive as legislators work on the state budget the next couple of months. The raise for assistant teachers could get scaled back to the original proposal. The plan is in House Bill 582.

Phillips loses appeal of murder conviction JACKSON — The state Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of Ronnell Phillips of second-degree murder in the 2011 death of Cassandra Rice.

Phillips was sentenced to 40 years for seconddegree murder in Lamar County in 2013.

Prosecutors say Phillips and three others fired more than 10 rounds into Rice’s home.

One of the rounds struck Rice in the head killing her while she slept.

Prosecutors say Rice’s daughter had previously dated Phillips and when the relationship ended he continually harassed the family through phone calls, texts and confrontations.

The Appeals Court rejected Phillips’ arguments that he was denied a fair trial when a police officer commented on Phillips’ refusal to make a statement and when a witness testified he was a gang member.

Columbia; and Donald Walton, a contractor from Vicksburg, have all notified the U.S. District Court of their intentions to change their pleas to guilty. All three are free on bond.

Harvey-Irvin, Walton, and Croom are accused in the indictment of federal program fraud and other charges.

The agency received federal money to operate the Head Start program.

Harvey-Irvin through GCCAA allegedly paid Croom $649,047 in consultant contracts in exchange for Croom paying Harvey-Irvin $91,961 in kickbacks. The two, the indictment says, then conspired to launder the money by making cash deposits into a bank account Harvey-Irvin set up.

In another indictment, Walton is charged with conspiring to commit federal program fraud by accepting and paying bribes. According to the indictment, HarveyIrvin through the agency awarded $365,282.20 in construction contracts to Walton’s business, Walton Construction. In exchange for the contracts, Walton allegedly paid Harvey-Irvin $31,000 in kickbacks.

$2.5 million bond set for fatal shooting VICKSBURG -- Bond has been set at $2.5 million for a Louisiana man held on charges related to a fatal shooting at a Vicksburg nightclub.

Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong said the shooting occurred about 2 a.m. Sunday outside LD’s nightclub where officers were breaking up a fight.

Armstrong says 22-year-old Kentrell Williams of Tallulah, Louisiana, is charged with

murder, possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a stolen firearm. He says the victim was 32-year-old Jimmy Johnson of Tallulah.

Williams had an initial court appearance Monday.

Armstrong says the club was still open and hosting a party when the shooting happened.

He says it’s unclear how many people were outside the club when the shooting occurred.

Man pleads guilty to kidnapping, assault BAY ST. LOUIS — A Mississippi man will spend the next 25 years in prison for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a Hancock County woman.

Mark Andrew Rice, 53, was sentenced Tuesday

by Circuit Judge Chris Schmidt after he pleaded guilty to the charges stemming from an investigation that began in September 2013.

Hancock County deputies said they responded to a report of a domestic dispute at a Bayside home. That is where they found the victim in the front yard and Rice near death from an attempted suicide inside the home.

District Attorney Joel Smith said Hancock County deputies responded to a Sept. 7, 2013, call at a woman’s Bayside home to find her in the front yard and Rice “near death” from a suicide attempt in the main bedroom.

Rice and the woman had been in a long-term relationship and he was a guest at her home earlier in the day, investigators learned. He later returned to the home, and bound and assaulted the woman, Smith said. Then he slit his wrists, authorities said.

Parking dispute sparks 3 killings Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A long-running parking dispute between neighbors motivated a man to kill a woman, her newlywed husband and her sister at a quiet condominium complex near the University of North Carolina, police said Wednesday.

A Muslim advocacy organization asked authorities to address speculation — much of it on social media — about possible religious bias in Tuesday’s shooting of the three Muslims.

“We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated, and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case,” Chapel Hill police Chief Chris Blue said in an email.

The couple had graduated from North Carolina State, and one was studying to be a dentist at UNC. The sister was an undergraduate at N.C. State. UNC’s chancellor called it a loss for both campus communities, and the school planned a vigil Wednesday evening.

“This was like the power couple of our community,” said Ali Sajjad, president of N.C. State’s Muslim Student Association.

Craig Stephen Hicks,

46, was charged with three counts of firstdegree murder in the shooting of Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, and wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, both of Chapel Hill, and Razan Mohammad AbuSalha, 19, of Raleigh.

Hicks appeared briefly in court Wednesday.

He is being held without bond and will be appointed a public defender. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for March 4.

Police said Hicks turned himself in and was cooperating. They said the preliminary investigation showed the parking dispute was the motive.

Hicks’ wife, Karen Hicks, and a former roommate of Barakat confirmed that Craig Hicks had been part of a long-running parking dispute.

“I can say that it is my absolute belief that this incident had nothing up do with religion or the victims’ faith, but in fact was related to longstanding parking disputes my husband had with various neighbors regardless of their race, religion or creed,” Karen Hicks said.

One of her attorneys, Robert Maitland, said Hicks had tried to resolve the parking dispute

with the homeowners association several times without success.

Imad Ahmad, who said he lived with Barakat for more than a year, said Hicks would knock on their door about once a month to complain the two men were parking in one of the spaces designated for visitors in addition to the one space reserved for each residence.

“He would come over to the door. Knock on the door and then have a gun on his hip saying you guys need to not park here,” said Ahmad, 24, who said Hicks carried the handgun in a holster.

“He did it again after they got married.”

Another attorney for Karen Hicks, Michele English, said Craig Hicks had a concealed weapons permit.

But outrage spread among some American Muslims who viewed the homicides as an outgrowth of anti-Muslim opinions. Many posted social media updates with the hashtags #MuslimLivesMatter and #CallItTerrorism.

“Based on the brutal nature of this crime ... the religious attire of two of the victims, and the rising anti-Muslim rhetoric in American society, we urge state and

federal law enforcement authorities to quickly address speculation of a possible bias motive in this case,” Nihad Awad, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said in a statement.

Durham district attorney Roger Echols said he couldn’t discuss motive or whether Hicks could be charged with a hate crime.

U.S. Attorney Ripley Rand said his office was monitoring the investigation but that it was not yet a federal investigation. He said the shooting appeared to be “an isolated incident.”

Gerod King of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said that agents were in touch with the U.S. attorney’s office and that investigators hadn’t ruled out a hate crime.

At UNC, Barakat was a second-year dental student. Mohammad was scheduled to begin dental studies in the fall.

Both graduated from North Carolina State University, spokesman Mick Kulikowski said. Barakat received a business administration degree in 2013. Mohammad received a biological sciences degree in December.

Abu-Salha was a sophomore design major, Kulikowski said.

NYC officer pleads not guilty to manslaughter Associated Press

NEW YORK — A rookie police officer pleaded not guilty Wednesday to manslaughter, official misconduct and other charges in the shooting death of a man in a pitch black stairwell of a Brooklyn public housing complex.

Officer Peter Liang appeared briefly in a Brooklyn courtroom as the charges, which also include criminally negligent homicide and assault, were unsealed in the death of 28-year-old Akai Gurley. Liang’s attorney, Stephen Worth, maintained the shooting was an accident. The officer was released without bail.

Gurley was killed on Nov. 20 while visiting the Louis Pink Houses, a public housing complex in Brooklyn’s East New York neighborhood, to get his hair braided.

Liang, who had been an officer for about 18 months, and his partner

were patrolling the complex where reports of violent crime had spiked.

The stairwell was completely dark and Liang had his gun drawn as they descended onto an eighth-floor landing, prosecutors said. Meanwhile, Gurley opened the door into the seventhfloor landing after giving up his wait for an elevator. Liang, gun in his left hand and a flashlight in his right, fired a shot, prosecutors said.

The bullet ricocheted and struck Gurley in the chest, who made it down two flights of stairs before collapsing.

Assistant District Attorney Mark Fliedner said Liang was supposed to have kept his finger off the trigger and to the side of the weapon.

“The defendant ignored this training. ... As a result, Mr. Akai Gurley is dead,” he said.

Immediately after the shooting, Fliedner said, Liang and his partner

“FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD” Few verses in the Bible are better known and loved than the words of Jesus as recorded in John 3:16; “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Consider four great lessons that may be gleaned from the Savior’s words.

1. The Divine Initiative. “For God so loved the world.”

Without the love, mercy, and grace of our Heavenly Father, we are hopelessly and helplessly lost in our sin. “He first loved us.”

(1 John 4:19) God loves you!!!

2. The Divine Gift. “He gave his only begotten Son.” Nothing could more clearly demonstrate the love of God than His willingness to allow his spotless, sinless Lamb to be sacrificed for us “while we were yet sinners”(Romans 5:8) He died for you!!!

3. The Divine Call “Whosoever believeth in Him” The perfect sacrifice has been made. Heaven has given its best for mankind and calls upon us to put our faith in Him Those hearers on Pentecost (Acts2), the Samaritans (Acts 8), the Ethiopian(Acts 8),the Philippi an jailor (Acts 16), and other believers were obedient to the gospel call, confessed Christ and were baptized. He is calling you !!!

4. The Divine Inheritance. “Should not perish, but have everlasting life.” What a beautiful thought!! Even though all have sinned, God has made it possible for us to not only escape ‘its condemnation, but enjoy the inheritance that is “incorruptible, undefiled, and fadeth not away.” He has prepared a place for you!!!

We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

retreated to the eighth floor instead of rendering aid. Liang said to his partner: “It was an accident. I’m going to be fired,” according to court documents.

When other officers responded and started to help Gurley, Liang came down the stairs, but “just stood there,” Fliedner said. Gurley was taken to a hospital where he later died.

Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson said prosecutors didn’t believe Liang intended to kill Gurley. “But he had his finger on the trigger and he fired the gun,” he said.

Worth denied that Liang did nothing after the shooting.

“It’s a tortured attempt to make the defendant look heartless. Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said.

Thompson said after the shooting that he would convene a grand jury to investigate, and the results came back less than three months later, about the time it takes grand juries to consider other criminal cases.

He said prosecutors owed it to Gurley to do a thorough investigation. He said they interviewed dozens of witnesses and visited the stairwell himself.

Even before the shooting, the New York Police Department had been changing how it assigns and trains new officers.

Under former Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the NYPD assigned rookie officers as reinforcements in parts of the city that have seen increases in crime. The Pink Houses had been the scene of a recent spike in shooting, robberies and assaults.

Under William Bratton, new officers are no longer funneled into high-crime precincts as extra manpower, but instead are assigned mentors who are more experienced officers and rotate through different jobs at precincts. Bratton said Thursday that police are reviewing whether to pair seasoned officers with newer officers during stairwell patrols.

The case was closely watched following the Dec. 3 grand jury decision not to indict a police officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner.

That decision prompted mass protests decrying the grand jury system as biased, and fueled an already growing discord between the city’s rankand-file police and Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was viewed by critics as not publicly supporting police after the decision.

Deaths Bob Wood

DALLAS, Texas — Robert Foster “Bob” Wood died Sunday, February 8, 2015, after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer.

The son of Dick Pender Wood, Sr. and Robena Looney Ashburn Wood, Bob was born August 1, 1947, in Dallas, Texas. He was a lifelong resident of University Park where his father served as City Attorney for 37 years. After graduating from Highland Park High School in 1966, he graduated from Texas Tech University. His passion for Texas Tech football was unparalleled. Rarely missing a game, Bob was frequently spotted on the sidelines supporting his beloved team.

Bob began his career at H.B. Hughes Company in Dallas as a Wood sporting goods manufacturer’s representative. On April 1, 1985, he and his partners founded Bob Wood and Associates. During the subsequent 30 years, Bob and his team represented many amazing brands including, but not limited to, Adidas, Badger, Fila, Gatorade, Johnson & Johnson, Nokona, Spalding and Under Armour. He developed a loyal customer base of retailers, high schools, and professional teams.

In 2000 he was inducted into the Sporting Goods Agents Association Hall of Fame.

Bob’s larger than life personality, contagious smile, rich laughter, and loving spirit will live forever in the hearts of his family and friends. He was a fiercely loyal and infinitely proud husband, father and grandfather.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Pat Sandy Wood; son, Grant Wood and wife Kay; daughter, Sandy; granddaughters, Anne Marie, Ella and Lyda Wood; brothers, Dick (Claire) Wood and Frank (Sherri) Wood; and his nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews.

In celebration of Bob’s life, a memorial service will be held in the Sanctuary of Highland Park United Methodist Church (www.hpumc.org) on Friday, February 13, 2015, at 10 a.m.

Should friends wish, the family suggests contributions in lieu of flowers to the Texas Tech Red Raiders Club (Box 45055; Lubbock, TX 79409), the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (www.pancan.org), the Texas Sports Hall of Fame (1108 S University Parks Drive; Waco, TX 76706) or the Buckner Children’s Home (www.buckner.org).

Senate passes bill to nix vehicle safety inspection

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Some Mississippi senators haven’t gotten an up-todate vehicle safety inspection. Now they want other Mississippians to be able to forget about it, too.

Senators on Wednesday passed a bill to repeal the requirement that vehicle owners get a $5 safety inspection each year. It got a push from Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who endorsed the measure for the first time this year.

The bill goes to the House for more debate.

Proponents, including Republican Sen. John Polk of Hattiesburg, say too often no inspection is conducted. They also say cars are better-built now, and safety inspections are less needed.

The brief safety inspection is supposed to include a check on whether headlights, windshield wipers, turn signals and the horn are working. Some senators say inspection stations don’t even do that much.

Senate President Pro Tem Giles Ward, R-Louisville, said inspections have “outlived their use-

fulness. I do not disagree that maybe a more stringent inspection sticker would promote safety.

But my inspection process is taking my driver’s license out of my wallet and taking a $5 bill out of my wallet.”

Ward said he sent Senate pages out last month to look at vehicles driven by senators and staffers. Of those 88 cars and trucks, 23 had expired stickers and two had no stickers at all.

“We have a responsibility, if we’re going to keep laws in effect, to at least abide by them,” he said.

Sen. Billy Hudson, RHattiesburg, was among those who opposed the bill. He warned that abolishing inspection stickers would lead to “more accidents, more injuries and more deaths,” and called for a more effective inspection instead.

“This system is broken,” Hudson said. “It needs fixing. But we don’t need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

Sen. Kelvin Butler, DMcComb, proposed that the state instead just inspect older vehicles.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian’s family of quality magazines continues on Saturday, Feb. 28. Watch for Crossroads Magazine -- Medical Guide 2015.

Couple tries to pretend all is well for daughter’s sake D E A R ABBY: My husband, “Mason,” and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beauAbigail tiful 7-yeardaughter Van Buren old and have just found out we Dear Abby are having another girl.

The day we learned her gender, Mason dropped a bomb on me.

He said he’s not in love with me anymore, and it has been eating at him for a while. He said he was too scared to tell me sooner.

He won’t talk to anyone and doesn’t seem to want to fix it.

We both came from broken homes and had always agreed not to do that to our kids.

But I can’t act like everything is normal under the same roof.

He says he’ll stay at his brother’s place at night after our daughter goes to sleep. He’s at work before she’s up for school anyway. We agreed that if she wakes up at night and calls out for him, I should tell her he got “called in to work.” Please give me some advice. -- BROKEN IN NEVADA DEAR BROKEN: By the age of 7, your daughter is old enough to recognize tension

between her parents. She is also aware enough to comprehend that her father is no longer living there if he’s spending his nights elsewhere, particularly if he intends to carry on this charade for any length of time.

You say your husband “won’t talk to anyone,” but he owes YOU some straight answers. If he hasn’t been in love with you “for a while,” he shouldn’t have fathered a second child with you.

Would his feelings be different if the baby you’re carrying was a boy? Could there be another woman involved? Your husband owes it to you and those children to act responsibly and at least try to save his marriage.

Running away is not the answer.

In the meantime, my advice is to talk to a lawyer and take your cues from her or him about protecting yourself and your children financially.

Doing so does not mean you “must” file divorce papers, but you will have someone who isn’t emotionally involved looking out for your interests.

DEAR ABBY: What should a single, straight woman do if she is attracted to and interested in a man she is “pretty sure” is gay? What should she do in the same situation if he is openly gay? Should she ignore

her feelings? Tell him? -- ATTRACTED TO HIM IN WASHINGTON DEAR ATTRACTED: If the woman tells her gay friend how she feels, he may be flattered, or it may make him uncomfortable. That’s the risk she takes.

As to whether she should ignore her feelings, if she wants a romantic partner who can reciprocate her physical attraction, she will have to concentrate on finding someone who is straight.

Trust me on that.

DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine, “Fran,” died nine years ago. Prior to her death, I had little interaction with her husband, “Dexter.” As a matter of fact, when I met Fran, she was divorced, but she and Dexter reunited.

Dexter and I are now in love and are planning to marry. He is 66 and I am 61. A lot of people feel it is wrong for us to be together. Your thoughts, please?

-- GOING FOR HAPPINESS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR GOING: “A lot of people” are unhappy in their lives and judgmental. They sometimes poke their noses into matters that are none of their business. If you and Dexter want to be happy, avoid the naysayers as if they have a virus -- because the kind of ill will they spread is contagious.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). In certain ways, you are your own boss. And yet, you still have to report to another person and do everything you can to keep that person happy. Today you’ll make easy work of that.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It may be difficult to discern between the two kinds of problems there are in this world: my problems and your problems.

Because you want to help, you’ll make some of their problems your own. Just don’t take on too many!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Physical attractiveness is not as important to you as creativity is. You need people around you who will perpetually challenge you to see the world in new ways.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Life is like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Even though you’d like to load up on the tater tots and chocolate cake, you’ll put a good amount of healthy food on your dish and feel better because of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You magnify the positive aspects of a relationship, and yet there are still certain things your partner does that give you pause. Try to step back from the issue until tomorrow, when you’re likely to have a more balanced perspective.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You have a choice about where to go and what to do. You’ll select an environment that highlights your best traits, and when people interact with you in this context, you’ll shine bright.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your hunches are strong, and you’ll likely have one about a person who would make a terrific partner for you. Take steps to get organized and save yourself from wasted afternoon hours spent looking for something.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The task at hand is mysterious and involves unknown elements, and you’ll have to learn new skills, too. Don’t let that stop you. You don’t have to know everything about it now.

Just get started.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Living up to their standards is easy. What’s hard is living up to your own. You’re expecting yourself to perform at a level that even much more experienced folks have trouble hitting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Unlike other animals, humans are hard-wired to look for explanations as to why events occur. However, you’ll be better off today spending less energy on the “why” while you focus on the “how.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The young, inexperienced and impressionable need a positive example, and you’ll be the ideal model, mostly because you take the time to be kind to others no matter how busy things get.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You know better than to present a problem without also proposing possible solutions. For this reason, you’ll get your needs met with very little resistance.

You make it easy to please you.

The Big Apple

Apple

Biggest by far

$727 Exxon 380 Mobil

Apple earned $18 billion last quarter, making even the profits of other behemoths look puny. But then again, Apple became the first U.S. company to be worth more than $700 billion on Tuesday.

Exxon Mobil, the second-largest company in the Standard & Poors 500 index, made $6.6 billion, for example, while Microsoft earned $5.9 billion.

Apple by itself contributed about 7 percent of the total fourth-quarter earnings per share expected for the S&P 500 index, according to Goldman Sachs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly as much as the next three companies combined.

Shares of Apple closed at an all-time high of $124.88 Wednesday. A day prior it became the first U.S. company worth more than $700 billion.

Dear Annie: I am 53 years old and have been with my boyfriend for four years. The first year was awesome. We would hug and kiss hello and goodbye, and often say “I love you.”

Now? Nothing. We don’t touch at all. I am so unhappy. We have sex once a month and only when he wants it. During sex, there is no kissing or embracing. When I talk to him about this, he becomes angry and says I live in a fantasy world and have unrealistic expectations. He says he is not going to crawl all over me.

He then says he loves me very much.

It’s not that I want sex all the time, but a little affection would be nice.

Other than this, things are good.

We get along well and support each other. I just wish it could be like our first year. I don’t want to start all over with someone else, but lately I’m asking myself, “Should I stay or should I go?” -Ursula Dear Ursula: Embracing and kissing during lovemaking is normal. Please ask your boyfriend to see his doctor to check out any hormonal problems that could possibly be resolved.

If he refuses to go and will not discuss it with

Annie’s Mailbox you, you must decide how important physical affection is, because he isn’t likely to provide it.

Dear Annie: I was born in the middle of the baby boom generation. My dad was a Pearl Harbor veteran. There were hundreds of heroic acts performed that day, and one of them involved a friend of my father’s, whose destroyer took a direct hit. Even with severe injuries, he lowered himself into the harbor and dog-paddled out to keep an unconscious seaman alive until help could reach them.

That day, my dad decided that if he had a son, he would name him after this friend, whose name was Richard. The common nickname is “Dick,” which brings me to the reason for this letter.

Seventy-five years ago, Dick was a common name, but not so much today.

For years, I have put up with people making lewd comments about my name. At 6-foot-3, I can get in anyone’s face if I choose, and that usually ends the matter. But I

don’t want to do that. Instead, I’d appreciate it if you could provide a concise response that leaves little room for additional interaction with marginally literate people. -Richard Dear Richard: We are not miracle workers. The Beavis and Butt-Heads of the world will continue to snicker at your nickname because they never matured past adolescence. We favor the world-weary sigh, along with ignoring them.

An eye roll is optional.

You also could introduce yourself as “Rick” or “Rich,” both common nicknames for Richard that will elicit fewer asinine reactions.

Little League team stripped of title The Associated Press

CHICAGO — A Little League team that captured the attention of the nation and the hearts of its hometown was stripped of its national title Wednesday after an investigation revealed that team officials had falsified boundaries so they could add ineligible players to the roster.

Only last summer, the allblack Jackie Robinson West team was the toast of Chicago and was honored with trips to San Francisco and to the White House.

But the sport’s governing body, Little League International, announced that team officials had changed the boundaries that deter-

mine where players must live.

And after learning that their scheme had been exposed, they scrambled to convince surrounding leagues to go along with what they had done.

“This is so heartbreaking,” said Stephen D. Keener, the Little League International president and CEO. “It is a sad day for a bunch of kids who we have come to really like ... who did nothing wrong.” But “we cannot tolerate the actions of some of the adults involved here.”

The organization suspended the manager, Darold Butler, and suspended the team from Little League tournament play until the local league’s president and

treasurer have been replaced.

A district official who is believed to have helped change the boundaries was also removed.

All of the team’s victories were thrown out, meaning that the wins will be awarded to other teams. Mountain Ridge Little League, the team from Las Vegas that lost to Jackie Robinson West in the national championship game will be awarded the title.

Parents were angered by the news, saying their children were being unfairly punished.

“The boys had no inside dealings ... about any borders, and I as a mother had no idea there were any (questions about) boundaries,”

said Venisa Green, who was driving her son, Brandon, to school Wednesday when they were “blindsided” by the news as it came over the radio.

“We weren’t involved in anything that could have caused us to be stripped of our championship,” said Brandon, appearing at a news conference with his mother.

Venisa Green said the move was especially disheartening because the team was part of efforts to keep children safe and prepare them for college in a community better known for gangs and drugs than any kind of achievement.

“What would you have us do, Little League, for them to be killed on the streets of Chicago?” she asked.

South Carolina remains loose despite first loss The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina players broke from a meeting after practice with smiles, laughs and goofy poses.

Bothered by their rout at Connecticut? Not this group.

Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley said her top-ranked team returned to the court in good spirits following its first defeat of the season, a nationally televised 87-62 loss to the second-ranked Huskies on Monday night.

South Carolina (22-1, 10-0 Southeastern Conference takes on LSU (149, 8-3) at the Colonial Life Arena tonight.

Staley said players generally can respond two ways after such a loss — letting it fester and spiral, or putting it behind and concentrating on what’s next.

She said the Gamecocks were active and attentive in workouts, good signs the loss to Connecticut won’t lead to additional problems.

“I think we’re in a really good place right now,” Staley said Wednesday.

“The team is always focused on the task at hand and the task at hand is LSU.” South Carolina has been at the top of the rankings for past 12 weeks, a run that will very likely end with No. 2 Connecticut taking back the spot it opened the season with.

Do the Gamecocks slip back into No. 2 or will they fall further down the rankings behind traditional powers such as No. 3 Baylor and No. 4 Notre Dame?

Those haven’t been concerns for South Carolina all season and Khadijah Sessions said the team won’t worry about that now.

“What we do is try and get better every day in everything that we do,” Sessions said. “UConn, obviously, showed us a little bit more things that we have to work on. But we’re going to work on trying to find that togetherness as one.”

Connecticut certainly showed what happens when its gets its offense going. South Carolina allowed opponent season highs in points, field goal shooting (55.4 percent), field goals (31), 3-pointers (eight) and free throws made (17).

“I felt like we got beat by a really good basketball team,” Staley said.

“But I also felt I saw some things we could capitalize on what they were doing to put them back on their heels a little bit.”

The SEC once again figures to be a dominant force when baseball regular-season play opens Friday across the country.

SEC looks for another run at CWS

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

The Southeastern Conference’s depth and dominance in college baseball shows no sign of ending any time soon.

Vanderbilt is coming off its first national championship after beating Virginia in the College World Series in June. LSU won a national title in 2009 while South Carolina took home back-to-back championships in 2010 and 2011.

Florida, Georgia and Mississippi State have all played for the national championship in the past decade. Eleven of the league’s 14 teams have advanced to the CWS at least once since 1999.

“There’s just so little difference in this league from the top to the bottom,” Mississippi State coach John Cohen said. “That’s why our teams

do so well in the postseason.

By the time you get through 30 games in our league, there’s nothing you haven’t seen.”

The SEC once again figures to be a dominant force when regular season play opens on Friday across the country.

The Commodores return several top players from the team that won the national title a year ago — including pitcher Walker Buehler and shortstop Dansby Swanson — and have aspirations of another trip to Omaha.

“All the way around, I don’t look at our team and say ‘That’s a strength’ or ‘That’s the best we’ve ever had’ — it’s just pretty good across the line,” Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin said. “Our lineup is decent and our pitching is decent. Now it’s about who can attain that confidence as the

season progresses.”

Vanderbilt will have plenty of competition. Eight SEC teams are ranked in D1baseball.com’s preseason top 25.

LSU returns several of its top hitters from a year ago, including shortstop Alex Bregman. Ole Miss is coming off its first College World Series since 1972 and returns power hitting first baseman Sikes Orvis, along with veteran pitcher Christian Trent.

Florida has talented sophomore pitchers Logan Shore and A.J. Puk. South Carolina also has a deep pitching staff led by Wil Crowe and Jack Wynkoop.

■■■

Here are some things to watch this spring in the Southeastern Conference during baseball season, which begins on Friday: ■ THE USUAL SUSPECTS:

Several of the league’s elite teams from the past few seasons expect to be good again.

Vanderbilt returns plenty of talent from last season’s national championship team.

LSU has a deep, experienced lineup. South Carolina and Florida are especially talented on the mound. All four programs are ranked in D1baseball.com’s preseason top 10.

■ OLE MISS ENCORE: The Rebels made it to the College World Series last season for the first time since 1972. Ole Miss lost quite a bit of talent from that team, but does return a solid core, including pitcher Christian Trent, shortstop Errol Robinson and first baseman Sikes Orvis.

New flat-seam baseball should help hitters

by DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

JACKSON -— Tim Corbin sounded more like a philosopher than Vanderbilt’s coach as he talked about the new flat-seam baseball designed to bring a little more scoring back to the college game.

Finally, he hopes, after decades of tweaks and trying to figure out the correct balance between offense and pitching, the sport might have found a solution that sticks.

“Through the generations

of the game, it’s been so up and down,” said Corbin, who led the Commodores to their first national championship in 2014. “We’ve always wanted to find that medium where there’s some harmony between offense and defense. I don’t know if we’ve ever been exposed to that.”

The change on the baseball is relatively subtle: The seams have been lowered so it’s more like the one used at the professional level. Researchers found that the flat-seam ball

could travel as much as 20 feet farther in the air than the previous raised-seam ball.

On the practice field, coaches and players are seeing the same results. Almost all expect at least a modest boost in offense.

Real results will be available soon: The college season starts on Friday and pretty much everyone is suggesting fans get the gloves ready in the bleachers.

“I think you’re going to see a significant jump in offensive

numbers across the board, not just in homers,” UCLA coach John Savage said. “The ball is definitely more lively. Fly balls that used to hang up in the air and get caught are now falling for doubles. You’re really going to have to have speed on defense.”

University of San Francisco coach Nino Giarratano said the change was a win for everyone.

“The ball itself is going to Please see SEAM | 11

Browns owner supports GM in text investigation The Associated Press

BEREA, Ohio — Browns general manager Ray Farmer may still be in trouble with the NFL. However, his boss has his back.

Owner Jimmy Haslam said Wednesday that he’s given his “full support” to Farmer, who is at the center of a league investigation for sending text messages to the sideline during games.

Meeting for 50 minutes

with select media members, Haslam said he has no plans to fire Famer, adding that the GM has told the team he made a mistake in sending the texts, a violation of league rules.

The Browns face suspensions, fines and the possible loss of draft picks because of Farmer’s actions, confirmed for the first time by Haslam.

The league has yet to announce any punishments

from its probe.

“He made a mistake in sending those texts,” Haslam said. “Ray feels terrible about it. Ray’s a guy who has utmost integrity. Ray has the organization’s and my full support, and despite the fact that he made a mistake here, it does not affect his standing with the Browns.”

Haslam said he has not seen any of the texts and doesn’t believe Farmer’s motives for

sending them were unscrupulous.

“I don’t think Ray intended to gain any unfair advantage and he’s learned from his mistakes,” Haslam said, refusing to address the issue further.

Farmer, who not publicly commented during the league’s investigation, was promoted last year when Haslam fired CEO Joe Banner and GM Michael Lombardi.

have a good impact on the game,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a little further carry out of the ball, which will make the game more exciting.â&#x20AC;?

College baseball, which has used metal bats since 1974, was long known for mammoth homers and crooked numbers on the scoreboard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a game where even a 5-foot-9, 165-pound middle infielder could easily get a baseball out of the park.

That all changed in 2011, when new standards for the bats drastically reduced all kinds of offense. The effects were most pronounced during the College World Series at spacious TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska. Only three homers were hit during both the 2013 and 2014 tournaments, which matched the lowest total since 1966 when wood bats were used.

The lack of offense the past four years has been widely criticized, especially by coaches. At one point, UC Irvine coach Mike Gillespie called the bat change a â&#x20AC;&#x153;nightmare.â&#x20AC;?

TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle was also blunt: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a travesty what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done to college baseball.â&#x20AC;?

After much clamoring for another change, the new baseball was seen as a compromise.

Not surprisingly, college hitters are pleased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ball definitely jumps off the bat a little more if you square it up,â&#x20AC;?

Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game has definitely been dominated by pitching the last few years.

This might help make it a little more even.â&#x20AC;?

Said Saint Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College third baseman Anthony Villa: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We seem to have a little more pop.

The flat-seam baseballs feel good off the bat and throwing them across the diamond. They still roll true. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good change.â&#x20AC;?

College pitchers also say there are reasons to be excited about the switch.

Vanderbiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walker Buehler and UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s James Kaperlian â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who are both considered high-level prospects for Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Major League Baseball amateur draft â&#x20AC;&#x201D; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to have many issues.

Kaperlian says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that the new baseball will travel farther, but he feels any change that helps mimic conditions at the professional level is a good thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, I like it,â&#x20AC;?

Kaperlian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think pitchers who throw tight breaking balls and throw through the glove are still going to be very successful. There shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too much of a drop off.â&#x20AC;?

Buehler agreed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a guy who needed the high seams to get some spin on the ball, than it might be a problem. But for guys with power stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two-seam fastballs, cutters and sliders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think it could be beneficial.â&#x20AC;?

also excited to see some of the new guys step out on the field for the first time and contribute. â&#x2013; RISING TENNESSEE: Tennessee baseball has slowly improved under fourth-year coach Dave Serrano. This is the year the Volunteers hope to take another step and make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005. Said Serrano: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may not win every game because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how baseball works, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not many teams that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look across the field and feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out-talented anymore.â&#x20AC;? â&#x2013; UNDER THE RADAR: The SEC has so many quality programs, even perennial powerhouses

like Arkansas and Mississippi State can get lost in the preseason shuffle.

The Razorbacks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting much early-season hype, but return an impressive pitching staff led by Trey Killian. The Bulldogs also have several veteran pitchers and a lineup that includes holdovers like Wes Rea and Gavin Collins. â&#x2013; BUILDING MISSOURI: The Tigers have a proud tradition in baseball and have recently had several alumni go on to Major League Baseball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Ian Kinsler, Aaron Crow and Kyle Gibson. But Missouri has struggled during its first season since moving to the SEC from the Big 12, with a 16-44 record in conference play over two seasons.

PEBBLE BEACH, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods said Wednesday his game is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not acceptableâ&#x20AC;? to compete in tournaments and he will return when he thinks it is.

Hopeful of having injuries behind him, Woods made a horrific start to the new year. He shot a career-high 82 in the second round of the Phoenix Open to miss the cut by 12 shots. And then he withdrew after 11 holes of ordinary golf at Torrey Pines because of tightness in his back from a fog delay.

Woods said on his website the last two weeks have been disappointing, especially at Torrey Pines, where he is an eight-time winner. He said he never wants to withdraw, but recent injuries have allowed that to happen too often.

Woods said his latest injury was not related to the back surgery he had last spring, and that he is feeling better every day with physical therapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, I need a lot of work on my game, and to still spend time with the people that are important to me,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My play, and scores, are not acceptable for tournament golf. Like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said, I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back.â&#x20AC;?

Woods is not playing Pebble Beach or Riviera, and said he would practice next week at his home and at The Medalist â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting ready for the rest of the year.â&#x20AC;?

He said he wants to play the Honda Classic, which starts Feb. 26, but he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there unless his game is tournament

ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to anyone,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do, however, expect to be playing again very soon.â&#x20AC;?

Ernie Els, who has known Woods longer than any other active PGA Tour player, heard about his woes while playing in Dubai and later saw highlights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As competitive as we are, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see anyone suffer like that,â&#x20AC;? said Els, who has finished second to Woods more than any other player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do our stuff in public. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Tiger Woods, Ernie Els or whoever. If you have some error in your game, you get exposed.â&#x20AC;?

Woods, the winner of 79 PGA Tour events and 14 majors, has never looked this bad on the golf course. He had back surgery to relieve a pinched

nerve a week before the Masters and missed three months (including the first two majors), and then he took four months off at the end of last year to regain strength and get his back fully healed.

He also hired a new swing consultant and embarked on the fifth swing change of his career.

His chipping was shockingly bad at the 18man Hero World Challenge at Isleworth in December, when he tied for last. His chipping looked even worse at the Phoenix Open, a collection of shots that he either flubbed short or bladed across the green.

Woods is at No. 62 in the world, his worst ranking since before he won his first PGA Tour event in 1996. He is not eligible for the World Golf Championship at Doral.

The former Kentucky Wildcat scored 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the Zagsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 81â&#x20AC;&#x201C;70 win at San Francisco. â&#x20AC;Ś Senior Bo Barnes came off the bench and led Arizona State with 18 points in the Sun Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 81â&#x20AC;&#x201C;78 upset win over rival Arizona. â&#x20AC;Ś Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joseph Young ďŹ lled up the box score with 29 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the Ducksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 95â&#x20AC;&#x201C;72 win over Washington State. â&#x20AC;Ś Rhode Island guard E.C.

NITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experimental rules aimed at boosting offense The Associated Press

With scoring plunging to historic lows, the NCAA said last week it will experiment with a shorter shot clock at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NIT to see if that can jumpstart college basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lagging offense.

The tournament will feature a 30-second shot clock instead of the traditional 35-second clock that has been in play since 1993, with officials examining the effect on the games and taking the data to the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball rules committee

for review in May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without actually implementing it in a game, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just talking about it in theory,â&#x20AC;? Dan Gavitt, NCAA vice president of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball championships, said on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By actually putting it in a game with good teams, great coaches, competitive situations over a three-week time period, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actually get results and data that can either verify some of your theories or dispute them.â&#x20AC;?

The NCAA will also expand the restricted area

under the basket from 3 feet to 4 feet to see if it curbs the amount of collisions at the rim. Coaches who play in the tournament will be surveyed about their experience, and the rules committee will look at all the data to consider future rules changes, which could be adopted as soon as May if they gain enough support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although the committee will discuss a number of potential rules changes at the meeting, having specific data on these two rules

should help the committee make a decision about whether such potential rule changes might further improve the flow and competitiveness of college basketball,â&#x20AC;? said Belmont coach Rick Byrd, chairman of the committee.

Last year, Division I menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams averaged 67.5 points per game, the lowest number since the 1951-52 season. The 35-second clock and a more physical style of play that has evolved over time are among the biggest fac-

tors coaches point to when identifying reasons for the decline.

When current Brooklyn Nets coach Lionel Hollins coached the Memphis Grizzlies in 2011, he said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even watch his son Austin play for the University of Minnesota because the college game was too boring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I watched Wisconsin and Minnesota play down the stretch and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it,â&#x20AC;? Hollins said then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just hold the ball and hold the ball, and try to get

a shot with 10 seconds on the clock.â&#x20AC;?

Badgers coach Bo Ryan has used the slow-down tactics to great success, including last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run to the Final Four and a 20-2 start this year that has Wisconsin ranked No. 5.

Wisconsin ranks 39th in the country at 74.4 points per game this season, but many teams at schools both big and small have employed a more deliberate offensive system over the years to neutralize athletic shortcomings.
