Is there lead in local water? Corinth native

elected leader

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

OXFORD — Corinth native Austin Powell is the new Associated Student Body president at the University of Mississippi.

A 2013 Corinth High School honors graduate and son of Gwen and Eric Powell – a former state senator serving the Crossroads area – young Powell was unopposed during the Tuesday election, but students showed their endorsement by giving him 94.5 percent of the vote.

The announcement of Powell’s presidency was met with excitement – not only on the Ole Miss campus – but in the

Ken Briggs knows what’s in the water.

At the Clifford G. Worsham Surface Water Treatment Facility, there’s always another test at hand. Day in and day out, every hour, Corinth’s tap water is screened and the results meticulously logged.

One thing that is not in the water is lead, which, along with copper, is the subject of testing

every three years.

“I’ve been through five tests since I’ve been here, and we’ve never had a violation on lead or copper,” said Briggs, the plant’s chief operator. “Most of the time it reads zero.”

The latest results, received March 18, showed another clean lead and copper 90th percentile report for the plant, which draws water from the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway for treatment and delivery

A huge crowd showed up at the Corinth Depot.

Each one was there to help put the pieces together when it comes to autism.

The 4th Annual Autism Day gave individuals a chance to learn how to deal with the disorder during a fun day for children.

“We want more people to be educated when it comes to autism,” said Corinth Autism Understanding Support & Education (CAUSE) founder Leonda McDowell. “Autism Day is an event we have to recognize those with the disorder.”

In the United States more than 3.5 million live with autism. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social

Leonda McDowell spends most of her time helping the community put all the pieces together when it comes to autism awareness. “I like to educate people in autism awareness … I will go anywhere when it comes to telling people about autism,” said the 1994 Corinth High School graduate. The 37-yearold – who is married to Chad and the mother of three boys, Jadon (8), Josiah (6) and Chad (2) – started Corinth Autism Understanding Support & Education (CAUSE) in 2011. CAUSE recently held its 4th Annual Autism Day at the Corinth Depot.

“It was all about kids having a fun day and getting the word out on autism,” said McDowell, who likes to travel in her spare time.

Grant visits Corinth 4th graders

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

It was a fun day at Corinth Elementary School on Thursday as approximately 200 fourth graders and their teachers filled the hallway near the library in anxious anticipation of meeting with General Ulysses S. Grant.

Portrayed by Dr. E.C. “Curt” Fields Jr. of Memphis, Gen. Grant paid a visit to the children to further reinforce their unit study of the Civil War. Dr. Larry Mangus previously paid a visit to the classes, bringing some of his intriguing artifacts with him to discuss.

In addition to receiving the two

visitors, the students have also studied other nonfiction texts and took a field trip to Shiloh National Military Park.

Complete with Union uniform, waking cane, hat and white gloves, General Grant’s larger-than-life presence filled the space, capturing the attention of all.

“My name is General Ulysses S. Grant and you will listen closely to what I have to say,” he said.

Painting striking images of war through the eyes of a military leader, Gen. Grant related his remembrances of the Civil War and what life was like for soldiers in his camp.

“I am a walking, talking three-

dimensional teaching tool,” said Fields, who formerly served as a Memphis police officer, a principal and as a professor for the University of Memphis.

He enjoys bringing his unique way of teaching from the history books and into the classroom.

“I have spoken to scores of schools and am hoping to visit many more,” he said. “I’d visit every 4th grade class in America if I could.”

AUTISM CONTINUED FROM 1A

Civitan Club members Zeb Taylor (right) and Lesley Raines get burgers and hot dogs ready.

McDowell’s oldest son – Jadon – was diagnosed with autism when he was two.

With no support group available in the area, McDowell decided to start CAUSE. The Corinth Civitan Club was part of several vendors taking part during the day.

“This is about giving back to the community and it’s what Civitans do,” said club president Trish Parks.

Northeast Mississippi Community College nursing student also took part in the day by painting faces.

“I love these kids,” said student Brittanie Settlemires after painting a football on the cheek of six-year-old Josiah

McDowell. “They hold a special place in my heart.”

McDowell was happy with how the day turned out.

“The day is busier every year,” she said. “This is our only fundraiser for the year and it helps to educate others about autism.”

CAUSE meets the first Monday of each month at Ability Works. The group started with less than 10 members.

“The meetings can be very important for those who have a child with autism,” added McDowell.

(For more information about CAUSE call Leonda McDowell at 662-415-1340.)

WATER CONTINUED FROM 1A

1.3 milligrams per liter for copper.

The issue with lead, as put in the spotlight by the problems in Flint, Michigan, is deterioration of pipes if the water is not treated with a corrosion inhibitor before it enters the system.

“The two methods that you prevent this,” said Briggs, “is you feed a polyphosphate, which is a corrosion inhibitor, which basically coats the customer’s plumbing so that your water is not aggressive towards their plumbing and eating it up. The second thing is you can adjust pH.”

Correction The plant keeps the pH around 8 to further prevent corrosion.

Corinth Gas & Water Department Manager John Rhodes said flushing of the system is a voluntary step the utility performs to deter corrosion and other issues that can arise if water stagnates.

“Flushing is a main way to mitigate any type of risk,” he said. “You want to be moving the water out of the tanks, out of the distribution system. We do that every year.”

Flushing is in progress now and will continue through about mid-May. Corrosion is a risk generally limited to older plumbing in-

stalled before changes to regulations in 1986.

While the EPA requires testing for chlorine, pH and turbidity every three hours, the plant makes those checks hourly.

“If you wait every three hours, you could be out of compliance before you realize it,” said Briggs.

The plant makes daily checks for iron and manganese, two elements that can lead to brown water and stained clothing, although those are minimally present in the surface water supply as opposed to the prior groundwater system.

Bacteriological testing is performed monthly at a rotating

selection of sites, and the raw water source is the subject of 24 months of profiling every five years to ensure that it is a safe water supply.

With still other analysis along the way, it all ads up to water that is safe and “super tested,” said Briggs.

Reaching four years in operation, the plant about 8 miles east of Corinth sends some 3.5 million gallons of water to the city each day.

“We’ve really got it fine-tuned now,” said Briggs. “We are probably producing better water than we ever produced with the wells.”

A correction is in order after a recent Alcorn School District story about personnel changes.

The resignation of Biggersville Elementary School first grade teacher Ann Hearn was accepted by the board effective July 31.

She wants all friends, family and coworkers to know she has resigned so she can home school her two children.

Today in History Today is Sunday, April 10, the 101st day of 2016. There are 265 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 10, 1916, the Professional Golfers’ Association of America was founded in New York.

On this date: In 1790, President George Washington signed the first United States Patent Act. In 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was incorporated.

In 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, on its ill-fated maiden voyage.

In 1925, the novel “The Great Gatsby,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age evocation of empty materialism and thwarted romance, was first published by Scribner’s of New York.

In 1932, German President Paul Von Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff, with Adolf Hitler coming in second.

In 1947, Brooklyn Dodgers President Branch Rickey purchased the contract of Jackie Robinson from the Montreal Royals.

In 1953, the 3-D horror movie “House of Wax,” produced by Warner Bros. and starring Vincent Price, premiered in New York.

In 1966, English author Evelyn Waugh, 62, died in Combe Florey, Somerset, England.

In 1974, Golda Meir told party leaders she was resigning as prime minister of Israel.

In 1985, singer Madonna launched “The Virgin Tour” with a concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle.

In 1998, the Northern Ireland peace talks concluded as negotiators reached a landmark settlement to end 30 years of bitter rivalries and bloody attacks.

In 2010, Polish President Lech Kaczynski, 60, was killed in a plane crash in western Russia that also claimed the lives of his wife and top Polish political, military and church officials.

Across the Region Booneville Booneville to focus on ruined properties BOONEVILLE — Booneville leaders plan to move forward with efforts to deal with dilapidated and abandoned properties in the city.

Building Inspector Charles Sanders has provided them with a list of 52 properties that are in dangerously dilapidated condition and need to be removed.

The board directed the building inspector and city attorney to begin the process of forcing owners to take action.

City Attorney Daniel Tucker said the next

step will be giving notice to owners as required by law. If no action is taken then the city can hold hearings and once the process of notices and hearings is complete the board can then decide to have the properties cleaned up at city expense with the cost attached to the property’s taxes. Tucker said it would be up to the board at that point to determine how to proceed based on the costs involved.

Ward 4 Alderman David Bolen said he believes it’s important for the city to move ahead with cleanup efforts and if they’re ever going to

do it they need to do it now.

As an added bonus, guests at Junior Auxiliary of Corinth’s 54th Annual Charity Ball will have piece of mind knowing their attendance will make a difference in their community.

“As members of Junior Auxiliary of Corinth we have the privilege of serving on various projects benefiting the children of Corinth and Alcorn County,” said Public Relations Chair Haven Caldwell. “It has been so rewarding to see the positive impact you can have on children just through a few small acts of service.”

“Our projects have changed throughout the years of JA of Corinth based on current needs within our area,” she con-

Natchez Trace hosts Sheriff’s department annual Pioneer Day gets new uniforms IUKA — A recent training session for Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department officers quickly turned into a day of giving.

Each officer at the department, lead by Sheriff John Dennis Daugherty, received new uniforms during the training. The department was also supplied with first aid kits and tourniquets donated by North Mississippi Trauma

TUPELO — The Tombigbee Pioneer Group will demonstrate pioneer era crafts and skills at the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on April 23. The demonstrations will show the challenges faced and creative solutions developed by those Americans who lived in the area from the 1700s to around 1840.

The public is invited to participate in pioneer

tinued. “It is fun to see these new projects thrive with the support of our community.”

Thanks to the generosity of patrons, attendees and volunteers, the ladies of JA will now have the funds necessary to continue their projects for the year. JA’s current projects include: ■ Providing over 100 children with new school clothes to promote selfesteem and encourage them to stay in school.

■ Providing a new outfit, blanket, Bible, book and a copy of the Children’s Prayer, 1 John 4:19 to low income families who welcome a baby.

■ Spending one-on-one time with the children of Pine Vale Children’s Home.

■ Making it possible for

30 special needs children to attend Camp Hollywood, a week-long day camp with art, music and fun.

■ Giving college scholarships to approximately 30 local seniors.

■ Helping fifth graders county-wide to receive a vision screening to target those with vision impairments.

■ Ensuring that children in 3rd–12th grades are taught safe and appropriate technological practices through their Cybersmarts program.

■ Making it possible for non-English speaking elementary children to attend ABC Fiesta for tutoring in order to better prepare them for the classroom.

“We would like to thank our sponsors and

supporters for helping make this year’s Charity Ball the best one yet. The children of Alcorn County need us more than ever and your support has helped us be able to serve them in a larger capacity,” said JA President Susan Bailey. “2015–2016 was our largest casework year and we anticipate that number to steadily grow within the next several years.”

A non-profit service organization, Junior Auxiliary of Corinth (JA) is dedicated to improving the lives of children in Alcorn County and continually researches the needs and implements projects to fill them.

Founded in 1941, JA is a chapter of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries (NAJA) and must

uphold its standards of excellence and purpose.

There are approximately 104 chapters in eight states and more than $14,000 members to date.

“As Charity Ball Chair this year, my overall goal was to raise enough money to fund not only our current projects, but our new ones as well,” said Sara Beth Green. “After seeing the growing need for help in our community, we realized we really needed to step up to the plate and try and make this year’s ball as successful as possible.”

“Charity Ball is so much more than the food, the decorations and the fun,” she added. “It is a lot of hard work, but a labor we gladly undertake to bring more projects and services to our community.”

Ole Miss fans or just fans of the SEC,” said Kim Lyles, a Tri-State Rebel Club officer. “It’s a family-friendly event that helps raise funds for our scholarship endowment for local students to attend Ole Miss.”

In addition to the speakers, the meeting will include autograph sessions, photo booths, official merchandise, football posters, the 2015 reflection video and information tables for the Athletics Foundation and the Alumni Association.

There will also be photo opportunities with the Egg Bowl, Magnolia Bowl and Sugar Bowl trophies.

“This will be a great opportunity to bring an item to get autographed or get pictures made with Coach Freeze as well as the trophies,” said club officer Kenny Carson.

“The silent auction will feature some amazing Ole Miss items, as well.”

The local club will also offer “I Am a Ole Miss Rebel” t-shirts for sale.

“Seating is limited and

we expect tickets to sell out,” added Lyles. “The coaches and administration have always said they love coming to this area.

Let’s pack out the arena with Rebel Nation fans and show them we truly love our Ole Miss Rebels.”

Our View

We as a community must think about future The state’s top economic development chief visited Corinth this week.

And he liked what he saw.

He also challenged local leaders to inspire positive action during a local visit.

Words of encouragement from our state’s leaders can never by a bad thing.

Glenn McCullough Jr., executive director of the Mississippi Development Authority, addressed a community forum Tuesday where the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County was presenting an update.

It was also a joint meeting of Corinth Kiwanis, Civitans and Rotary civic clubs.

The former TVA board member and chairman, former mayor of Tupelo and previous congressional candidate said MDA has worked with The Alliance on more than eight projects involving more than 300 new jobs since 2012.

It’s a positive sign for local leadership, noted the MDA chief. We certainly agree.

But then again, we can’t rest on the past.

We must focus on the future, McCullough our community. And he’s right.

“You hear a lot about leadership, but you rarely ever hear anybody define it,” said McCullough at the meeting. “Leadership is one person inspiring another person to take positive action. That’s what you do here in Corinth and Alcorn County, and it’s working.

You’ve got some great industries to build on.

You’ve had some great expansions in recent years.”

However, we must look ahead. McCullough said it.

“My question is: What do you want Corinth and Alcorn County to look like in the future?

You’re taking that on right now,” said McCullough.

Much has been done by the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County.

Task force chairs gave progress reports, including work force development, infrastructure, long-term planning, education, dropout prevention, Excel by 5 and strengthening families.

The commission launched in 2010 as a project of Corinth-Alcorn Reaching for Excellence.

We support the efforts all of the volunteer task forces involved in the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County. We appreciate what they do.

Much has been done, but more work is ahead.

If we stand still, the future will pass us by.

Prayer for today

Ted Cruz or bust If the Republican Party is to be saved from Donald Trump, Ted Cruz’s runaway victory in Wisconsin will have been the inflection point.

If you thought this service to the GOP would Rich be met with Lowry plaudits from the party’s National insiders, you Review obviously don’t know anything about their relationship to the Texas senator.

St. Augustine famously prayed, Dear Lord, make me chaste – but not yet. The GOP establishment’s prayer is, Dear Lord, deliver us from Donald Trump – but not with Ted Cruz.

The increasing likelihood of a contested convention in Cleveland has led to chatter about such a conclave turning to a white knight who has the advantage of being neither Trump nor Cruz.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, who ascended to the thirdhighest constitutional office while (sincerely) saying he didn’t want it, is most often mentioned for the honor of winning a nomination he

My Lord, I pray that I may always be found clothed in love and kindness. Make me worthy to minister to those who may be dependent on me, and whether they be rich or poor, high or low, may I try to help them.

Amen.

didn’t run for.

The white-knight talk has all the hallmarks of a psychological mechanism for GOP insiders to avoid acknowledging their dependence on Cruz, who is all that is standing between the party and what might be an epic Trump-led meltdown.

A convention could – and should – deny Trump the nomination, but it won’t be easy. There will be a perceived legitimacy problem in denying the top prize to the top vote-getter. This would obviously be magnified if a convention disregards both the first- and second-place finishers.

And for what? Electability?

The only meaningful road test for a presidential candidate is running for president.

Cruz has proved adept at it.

He correctly read the mood of the Republican electorate and adjusted to Trump more skillfully than anyone else (not without some cringeinducing moments).

It’s not clear what white knight would be any better. If Ryan had run this year, in all likelihood he would have gotten chewed up and spat out like anyone else associated with the establishment. Who else? Mitt Romney? He had

his chance. A governor? The plausible ones already ran.

A senator? Ditto. A general?

They are always better in theory unless they are named Eisenhower or Grant.

Commentators skeptical of Cruz’s chances at a convention revert to the cliche that he is hated. It is true that people in Washington tend to loathe him, but a convention wouldn’t be a Senate Republican policy lunch. It would be stocked with Republican activists from around the country who have no firsthand knowledge of what Cruz did to so irk his colleagues, and probably don’t care.

All that said, it is possible to imagine a whiteknight scenario, but only in a convention deadlock that might descend to South Korean-parliament levels of ugliness. The best, cleanest non-Trump scenario is that Cruz has the strength to win on an early ballot, and his anti-establishment credentials – and his tacking Trump’s way on immigration and trade – make a revolt by the Trump forces less potent.

In short, the only reasonable alternative to Trump is Cruz. This is the conclu-

sion that Scott Walker and other conservative leaders in Wisconsin came to, and they backed Cruz to the hilt.

Republicans around the country who care about the integrity of their party and its electoral chances should do the same.

Of course, Cruz will need to grow and adapt as a candidate. There were the first signs of that in Wisconsin, where he won the “somewhat conservative” vote and excelled in the suburbs.

He would be an underdog against Hillary Clinton, but the man with the biggest media megaphone on the planet has been calling him a liar and a Canadian for months, and he trails Clinton by only 3 points in the RealClearPolitics average.

Trump and Cruz have both won states around the country and millions of votes, and engendered intense followings. There is no getting around that they are the choice confronting the party. It’s time to put away childish things, and pick sides.

Whose morality?

BELFAST, Northern Ireland — In a recent interview for the BBC2 series “Inside Obama’s White House,” President O b a m a sounded somewhat wistful as he spoke to an interviewer Cal about how Thomas he has tried to use his Columnist voice “to move things toward a more ethical and moral outcome.”

The question of morals and ethics has been debated since the dawn of humanity. It won’t be settled by the shifting winds of politics, because not everyone can agree on what is moral and what is not.

Dictionary.com defines morality: “Conformity to the rules of right conduct.”

Ah, but here’s the rub.

That definition fits a different era. Morality today is personal. It is not a standard to which one is encouraged to conform for one’s own, or society’s benefit. Rather, it is about what makes one feel good. By this non-standard standard, one can easily change one’s

sense of what is moral as they might a suit of clothes or a pair of shoes and suffer no societal condemnation because that “moral code,” such as it is, exists only for the individual.

When President Obama speaks of ethics and morality, the follow-up question should be, “Whose ethics and whose morality? Who, or what, established that standard?”

To take one example, if you say there is no God and then turn around and tell me I should not be a racist, or that I should help someone in need, and I say, “why should I?” how do you respond? If we are all evolutionary accidents, why can’t I believe and practice anything I wish?

Perhaps you respond that there are laws prohibiting discrimination. To that I answer, “Suppose the laws are changed, is it then OK to discriminate?” It was once legal to own slaves, but did that law make slavery moral?

There is the Constitution, but the courts are busy renovating that great document to fit the spirit of the age, as reflected in opinion polls, which now determine

almost everything.

Moral relativism has contributed to a host of societal and relational problems few wish to acknowledge. To do so would force people to admit their “standard,” which in reality is no standard at all, isn’t working. And such an acknowledgement could lead to what theologians call repentance, a turning away from the old and embracing the new, which is not new, but old, tried and proven best.

President Obama may be the most pro-abortion president America has ever had.

He has done little to reduce their number, which near 60 million in the U.S. since 1973. By what standard is his position “moral”? The president used to be against same-sex marriage, now he’s for it. Was he moral when he opposed it, or is he moral now that he supports it? And what is his standard, because these positions are contradictory?

Is the president being moral when he allows mostly Muslim refugees from Syria into the country, but permits few Syrian Christians to enter? He says he’s a Christian. Wouldn’t it make more sense for him

to protect Christians first, since they are the ones being targeted by Islamic fundamentalists for death, forced marriages and sexual slavery?

Mark Twain is quoted as saying: “Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.”

That’s funny, but Twain didn’t tell us what he thought was right. What is the new standard for “right” and “moral”? Who established it and why should anyone follow your standard when mine might be the antithesis of yours?

The inability or unwillingness to answer these questions and to enforce a moral code that mostly served humanity well until the self-indulgent ‘60s began to destroy its foundations is responsible for the confusion and moral chaos we witness today.

Who will rescue us from this moral quagmire? It won’t be anyone running for president. These things bubble up from the human heart; they do not trickle down from Washington.

Bill cloaks problems of poverty, lack of education This past week Mississippi a right afforded to any couple, made the national news after despite sexual orientation.

Governor Phil Bryant signed Neshoba County Senator JenHouse Bill 1523 into law Tues- nifer Branning tried to defend the bill Wednesday, saying, “It day. gives protection to those The bill is also known in the state who cannot in as the “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from a good conscience provide services for a same-sex Government Discrimimarriage.

The bill is apparently the the state—until the federal govGovernor’s response to the ernment overrules it due to unSupreme Court ruling of last constitutionality. However, unsummer allowing marriage as til then, people may be turned

away from services, be denied housing, or lose employment simply because of who they are.

To those outside the state, Mississippi now looks backward, non-progressive. Leaders from other states were heavily critical, including New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who banned state-sponsored or state-funded travel to Mississippi. Spokespersons from businesses located within the state also voiced opposition: Nissan Group of North America, Tyson Food, MGM Resorts, and Toyota. National corporations that were critical of the bill included AT&T, IBM, Levi Strauss, MassMutual, General Electric, and Hyatt Hotel.

The fact that other states are disconnecting themselves from Mississippi—and businesses may become more reluctant to locate within the state—compounds the problem. According to 2010 and 2011 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Mississippi is the poorest state in America. According to the online commentary of ‘24/7 Wall

Street,’ “Mississippi is among the states with the worst education systems, highest obesity levels, highest unemployment, and lowest rates of health insurance coverage. The state is an economic black hole, and it shows in the way people suffer there. And, as is true with black holes, it is nearly impossible for the residents of Mississippi to escape their difficult financial situations.”

Of course, the ability to transcend poverty is largely tied to education and the opportunities it affords. Unfortunately, Mississippi does not fare well in this category either. In 2014, a report from ‘Education Week’ placed Mississippi 51st among the states and Washington, D.C. in education achievement rankings.

It seems, therefore, that the state’s governor and legislator are focusing on the wrong pieces of legislation. Why are they spending taxpayer money to rectify potential “violations” of freedom, when the real problem in Mississippi is a poverty

And if I start talking too long, we’ll provide the tomatoes and the throwing cabbage (just kidding).

On Wednesday, April 13 at 1 p.m., local author and painter Kathy Bryant-Williams will be discussing her books and her paintings. A selection of her artwork is currently on display at the Corinth Library. This will give us a chance to hear her own discussion of how her creative talents led her to become both an artist and a novelist.

At 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 14, the Corinth Library will have a special Preschool Storytime with Mr. Cody. While this program is geared towards children ages 2-5, all ages are welcome to attend.

Also on Thursday at 6 p.m., the Crossroads Poetry Project will hold a poetry reading featuring the Poetry Man Autry Davis, as well as other members of the group. They will also hold poetry readings here at the library every Thursday at 6 p.m. during April in honor of National Poetry Month. All ages are welcome to attend, and the floor is open to anyone interested in reading poetry both new and classic. While anyone may read, there is no obligation to do so. Just come and listen, and be transformed!

On Friday, April 15 at 1 p.m., local painter Syble Marlar Caples will discuss her artwork currently showcased here at the Corinth Library. So whether you have a heart for poetry, painting, or preschool, come join us as we celebrate libraries.

The Friends of the Library group will cap off the week with a book sale at the Corinth Library from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. This is a unique opportunity to find books that are not usually located in the ongoing book sale throughout the year.

Plenty going on at Corinth Library Have you ever been jogging on a crisp morning, or perhaps writing a lastminute paper for school, and as you push yourself to make one more stride or to write one more line, you reach the end and, without thinking, find yourself sighing?

It’s something you notice rather than something you choose.

You reach this point in time w h e n you look at what Cody y o u ’ v e Daniel a c c o m plished and Corinth Librarian gratefully breathe out a satisfied “Ahhh...” It’s a moment of relaxation, to be sure.

But more than that, it’s a moment of reflection. You take in all that brought you here, while looking forward to what is ahead.

Springtime is like that.

It’s almost as if the windows of the world have opened and we all breathe in the first fresh air of the year. We clean our attics and our basements. We may travel or do yardwork. We, in some way, take stock of what we have—what we’re about— and we look forward to new adventures. This is why I believe it’s quite appropriate that April celebrates both National Library Week as well as National Poetry Month.

For both of these celebrations are very much in line with “what libraries are about.”

National Library Week began in 1958 through the American Library Association as a way to slow down and focus on the importance of libraries for our communities and our world. This year’s theme is “Libraries Transform,” and libraries (along with those who use them) are called to reflect on how this historical institution has transformed our lives. To that end, the Corinth Library will offer special programs from April 11 to April 16 as we celebrate libraries and how they transform us.

On Monday, April 11 at 2 p.m., we will have a “Meet the Librarian” program where I will be discussing how libraries have enriched my own life (particularly through the Corinth Library), both as a patron and as a professional. I will highlight some of my favorite books and authors. (Be prepared for hopefully interesting anecdotes and slightly nerdy facts.)

We’ll discuss library resources that may be new to some people. (Did you know we have access to books throughout the en-

rate that hovers around 20 percent and students who fail to rise to the level of other students across the nation?

This bill itself is wrong, and it is not right simply to sit idly by and say nothing about it.

For some of us, it violates our most closely held beliefs, which include the notion that it is not our place to judge others and exclude them.

The state of Mississippi has some leaders at its helm who are passing legislation that does absolutely nothing to advance the citizenry of the state. We need more jobs in Mississippi, and, accordingly, we need better, fully-funded education.

Otherwise, Mississippi continues to remain at the bottom of the list.

Minnesota targets Mississippi travel Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is banning state employees from nonessential travel to Mississippi, the second state Dayton has targeted in less than a week for enacting controversial laws.

Dayton sent a letter Wednesday to all state employees, directing them to stop all nonessential travel to Mississippi until the state repeals a law allowing religious groups and private businesses to deny services to gay and transgender people.

Dayton says when the rights of some Americans are threatened, it is the responsibility of all Americans to oppose “discriminatory acts.”

Court: Mississippi can resume Google inquiry Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi’s attorney general can resume an investigation into whether Google facilitates illegal behavior, an appeals court ruled.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday overturned a district judge who had sided with Google. U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate ruled last year that the unit of Alphabet Inc. didn’t have to answer a subpoena by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood.

Hood began complaining in 2012 that Google wasn’t doing enough to prevent people from breaking the law. In October 2014, he sent a 79-page subpoena demanding Google produce information about a wide range of subjects, including whether Google helps criminals by allowing its search engine to lead to

pirated music, having its autocomplete function suggest illegal activities and sharing YouTube ad revenue with the makers of videos promoting illegal drug sales. Instead of complying, Google sued.

The appeals court also dissolved the lower judge’s injunction that had barred Hood from bringing any civil or criminal lawsuits against the Mountain View, California-based company, saying that a mere subpoena wasn’t enough to rule that Hood was acting in bad faith.

“This injunction covers a fuzzily defined range of enforcement actions that do not appear imminent,” Chief Circuit Judge Carl E. Stewart wrote for a three-judge panel. “We cannot on the present record predict what conduct Hood might one day try to prosecute under Mississippi law.”

POWELL CONTINUED FROM 1A

ment,” Powell told the Daily Mississippian after the election. “I was unopposed, but still received so much love and support through social media and campaigning. That love makes me want to give 100 percent more for my campus.”

Folks back at home in Corinth are expecting big things from Austin Powell.

“I always tell Austin to remember me when he’s famous,” said Taylor Coombs, marketing manager for the Corinth School District. “I was lucky enough to get to know him before he graduated by helping with Follies, then convincing him to volunteer for every Main Street event after that.”

Powell has a volunteer spirit and giving attitude, according to Coombs.

“He was always willing to help and volunteer,” said Coombs. “I am so proud of him and how he represents Corinth and Ole Miss.”

Corinth city alderman Chip Woods remembered Powell’s leadership ability as a young child and through his high school years.

Powell was elected Lt. Governor at American Legion Boys State in 2012.

“He has a strong background with his family in education and as the son

of a former state senator, he knows the demands of an elected official,” said Wood.

“As important as a role he’s been elected, I’m confident this won’t be the last office Austin Powell is elected to serve,” he said “I’m so proud to have such a fine young man from the City of Corinth representing as the newly elected ASB president.”

According to the Daily Mississippi – the Ole Miss newspaper – this announcement signals change for the Ole Miss campus as Powell hopes to build more programs and implement his platform.

“My platform is ONE Ole Miss, which stands for Opportunity, Network and Efficiency,” Powell told the newspaper. “I hope to build more freshman programs.”

Powell told the Daily Corinthian on Saturday it’s been a very hectic first week in his new role.

“We literally hit the ground running on Wednesday morning,” said Powell. “We are letting people know what is going on.”

The Ole Miss junior is a double major in Public Policy Leadership and Philosphy.

Powell continues to build on his ASB platform.

“We want everyone to know they can be a part,” he said.

Prank call causes smashed windows COON RAPIDS, Minn. — A prank caller tricked workers at a Minnesota Burger King into smashing the windows of the restaurant to keep it from exploding, police said Saturday, mirroring similar deceptions at Burger Kings and other fast-food restaurants in other states in recent months.

Police said employees at the restaurant in the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids got the call Friday night from someone claiming to be with the fire department. The caller said the restaurant could explode, so they needed to relieve the pressure.

The manager and other employees believed the caller and smashed all the windows on the ground floor. “Officers arrived and found that the manager and employees of the Burger King were smashing out the windows,� Sgt. Rick Boone told the Star Tribune. “The manager explained they’d received a phone call from a male who identified himself as a fireman who said there were dangerous levels of gas in the building and they had to break out all the windows to keep the building from blowing up.�

Boone said there was no immediate cost estimate for the damage. The restaurant was boarded up Saturday, and investigators were trying to identify the caller. Â

No trial yet in Times Square hotel killing NEW YORK — At first, justice looked like it would come swiftly for Kristine Yitref. Police made an arrest just one day after her lifeless body was found by a chambermaid in a Times Square hotel.

More than eight years later, though, the man accused of strangling the 33-year-old still hasn’t been brought to trial. The case finally took a step forward Wednesday when a judge said he would begin selecting a jury on July 6.

The suspect, a convicted sex offender named Clarence Dean,

now ranks among the prisoners with the longest pretrial detentions in New York City’s swollen jails. Lengthy delays in criminal cases are common in the city’s courts, but even by those standards, his case is unusual.

It languished partly because of a long legal fight over the validity of forensic evidence involving a bite mark on the victim’s body. Lawyers, experts and a civil liberties group have been arguing for years over whether testimony from bite-mark analysts was reliable enough for use in a criminal courtroom.

Yitref’s family also hasn’t pushed prosecutors for a trial, which could dredge up painful memories of the dark turns her life took at the end, even before she met Dean. Â

Water systems fail to meet lead limits GALESBURG, Ill. — This railroad town promotes its ties to Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and the poet Carl Sandburg. But Galesburg’s long history also shows in a hidden way: Aging pipes have been leaking lead into the drinking water for decades.

Blood tests show cause for concern. One in 20 children under the age of 6 in Knox County had lead levels exceeding the state standard for public health intervention, a rate six times higher than the Illinois average, in 2014.

Galesburg offers just one example of how the problem of lead-tainted drinking water goes far beyond Flint, Michigan, the former auto manufacturing center where the issue exploded into a public health emergency when the city’s entire water system was declared unsafe.

An Associated Press analysis of Environmental Protection Agency data found that nearly 1,400 water systems serving 3.6 million Americans exceeded the federal lead standard at least once between Jan. 1, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2015.

The affected systems are large and small, public and private, and include 278 systems that are owned and operated by schools and

Daily Corinthian • 7A

Across the State

day care centers in 41 states.

Galesburg officials downplay the water’s potential contribution to lead poisoning, which can affect children’s mental development.

But city councilor Peter Schwartzman called the AP’s findings alarming. “Most people in Galesburg are not really being told that there is a problem,� said Schwartzman, an environmental scientist. “I’m very close to this and didn’t know it. I feel ignorant.�

The AP reviewed 25 years of sampling data reported by 75,000 drinking water systems that are subject to a federal lead rule that took effect in 1991.

Details of the EPA data were first reported by USA Today. Â

Vermont to enforce GMO labeling rules MONTPELIER, Vt. — As Vermont is set to become the first state in the country on July 1 to require the labeling of foods containing genetically modified ingredients, the state’s attorney general says his office will enforce the law by targeting “willful violations� by manufacturers and not products that were produced before that date that are still on store shelves. “What we’re really going to go after is folks who are willfully noncompliant, who are just not putting labels on their products at all or otherwise trying to skirt the labeling law,� said Todd Daloz, an assistant attorney general.

Because some shelfstable food will be produced and distributed before July 1, the state is allowing for a six-month period for those products to move through the system.

The attorney general’s office says it won’t take enforcement action for those products during that time, unless there’s evidence that a manufacturer distributed a mislabeled product after July 1. “Those long shelf stable products are not our concern. Our concern is going to be manufacturers who are choosing not to label or are not labeling for whatever reason,� Daloz said.

IRS sues man over $1 million in refunds DEKALB — The IRS is trying to stop a Kemper County man from ever preparing taxes for anyone else, saying he may have claimed more than $1 million in fraudulent refunds in recent years.

The civil lawsuit filed Friday in federal court in Jackson asks that a federal judge forbid Christopher Chamberlin of Bailey from doing business as a tax preparer.

The suit says Chamberlin has routinely filed tax returns fraudulently stating a person lost money running their own business. Those fake losses allow taxpayers to claim Earned Income Tax Credit refunds for which they otherwise wouldn’t qualify.

Chamberlin and four other people face a criminal indictment that they also stole identities and filed false tax returns for the refunds.

A lawyer for Chamberlin didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment Saturday. Â

More firms seeking repeal of state law JACKSON — Executives of five more companies have signed a letter calling on Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant and Republican legislative leaders to repeal an incoming state law.

That law would allow religious groups and some private businesses to cite religious beliefs to deny services to people.

The Coca-Cola Co., Northrop Grumman Corp., Intel Corp., Replacements, Ltd. and the Hartford Financial Services Group have signed the letter denouncing the law that Bryant signed Tuesday.

The Human Rights Campaign, a gay-rights group which circulated the letter, announced Friday that the companies joined executives of eight large companies signing earlier.

The law’s supporters say churches and marriage-oriented businesses need protection from being forced to act against religious beliefs to support same-sex marriage or transgender people. Opponents say it allows discrimination. It takes effect July 1.

Police trying to ID pair found in motel OKOLONA — Investigators are trying to figure out the identities of two dead people found Friday in a Chickasaw County motel room.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported that the bodies were partly decomposed.

Okolona Police Chief Willie Moore says the people appear to have been a man and a woman and may have been in the room for some time.

Police sought the assistance of state crime lab investigators and were trying to determine who had called 911 to alert them to the bodies.

Officers donned fire department boots and fire department air tanks to make their initial canvas of the room, to ward off an overpowering stench.

A motel employee didn’t know who was staying in the room or how long they had been there. Â

incendiary devices and guns in his car in the parking lot of a Mississippi church.

Jason Moncrief, 41, was charged Thursday with trespassing at the Southaven church and remained jailed Friday in DeSoto County, just south of Memphis, Tennessee.

Mike Knight is a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He says materials are being tested, but there’s no indication Moncrief was targeting the 10,000-member Brown Missionary Baptist Church.

Southaven Police Lt. Mark Little says officials at the church had complained about a trespasser at the rear of their property in recent days.

An officer stopped Moncrief, who said he was using the church parking lot to access family land. Police then found the guns and explosives. Â

Charges: Woman sent pot to prison

Hancock creditors hope to be repaid

A Mississippi woman has been charged with helping to smuggle synthetic marijuana into a Louisiana prison.

East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman Detective Kevin Garig tells The Advocate that 38-yearold Lashonda Lee of Woodville obtained the synthetic marijuana and hid it in a container of red beans that a guard brought into Dixon Correctional Institute. Lee was arrested Thursday on charges that she introduced contraband into a prison and was distributing illegal drugs.

She was jailed in East Feliciana Parish with bail set at $60,000.

The guard, 33-year-old April Lemon of McComb was arrested Monday for introducing contraband and released on $10,000 bond.

Garig says investigators found Lee, a former Dixon employee, had been in contact with inmate Tyrone Stevens, who was supposed to receive the drugs. Â

TUPELO — Hancock Fabrics owes nearly $84 million to three secured creditors who have first dibs on any proceeds coming from the liquidation of its stores.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports unsecured priority creditors next in line are owed nearly $4 million, while non-priority unsecured claims total more than $26 million.

It’s the last group of creditors most likely not to see much, if any, of the money they’re owed.

For example, there’s V.M. Cleveland, a developer and owner of the Tupelo Furniture Market.

He also owns the Tupelo Commons retail development, which is home to Best Buy, Ashley HomeStore and several other stores and restaurants. Hancock has leased space at Tupelo Commons since about 2005. When Hancock filed for Chapter 11 reorganization on Feb. 2, it owed Cleveland nearly $19,000. “You never really know how it’s going to work out,� he said. “You might get a nickel for every dollar that’s owed or an even smaller percentage, but I really don’t expect any.�

week with another round of plummeting temperatures looming.

“We have at least one more cold night by the end of the weekend, early next week, if forecasts hold, to get through,” said Ben Wenk of Three Springs Fruit Farm in Aspers, Pennsylvania, southwest of Harrisburg.

“And of course there’s not a whole lot we can do about it.”

Farmers are already checking individual buds for damage but don’t expect to have an estimate of losses until next week at the earliest.

Samascott said his orchard could lose 90 percent of its apple crop because of temperatures that dipped to 10 degrees and below. Three Springs could lose half its early varieties like Honeycrisp and Gala. Wenk also is worried about his peach-

ther north, like in New York’s Champlain Valley, are expected to escape large-scale damage because of their later growing season.

“Individual farms, some will skate through and they’ll be fine and there are others that probably won’t have a crop, and economically it will be pretty tough,” said Jim Eve of Eve Farm Service, who monitors farms in western New York.

At G and S Orchards in the western New York town of Walworth, farmer Stephanie Craft said she is trying to stay positive. Temperatures bottomed out briefly earlier this week at 11 degrees, but her trees’ buds where not as far along as those across the state in the Hudson Valley.

“I think we’re going to — knock on wood — be all right,” she said.

Shareholders OK Starwood Hotels sale path for Marriott.

The acquisition has already been approved by U.S. anti-trust regulators but still needs to clear authorities in the European Union and in China. The deal is expected to close in the middle of this year.

Holders of over 97 percent of Marriott shares present and voting at the meeting, representing over 79 percent of outstanding shares, voted in favor of a proposal to issue shares of Marriott common stock in connection with the transaction.

BY SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Marriott International has cleared one of its major hurdles on its journey to acquire rival Starwood and become the world’s largest hotel chain.

Shareholders in both Marriott and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. approved the $14.41 billion sale Friday morning.

The vote puts an end to a hectic month in which Marriott had to fend off a last-minute competing bid from China’s Anbang Insurance Group. After aggressively pursuing Starwood, Anbang suddenly withdrew its bid last week, clearing the

prove the transaction.

At closing Starwood stockholders will receive 0.8 shares of Marriott common stock plus $21.00 in cash for each share of Starwood common stock.

Last year, Starwood — the owner of Sheraton, Westin and St. Regis brands — put itself on the market. The company has struggled to grow as fast as its rivals, particularly in “limited service hotels,” smaller properties which don’t have restaurants or meeting space.

Marriott emerged as the winner in a deal that will create the world’s largest hotel chain with 5,500 properties and more than 1.1 million rooms around the world.

Such scale would give the combined company pricing power when negotiating commissions with online travel agencies such as Expedia and Priceline, as well as help it land more corporate travel contracts. The next-largest hotel company is Hilton Worldwide with 4,500 properties and about 735,000 rooms.

Marriott and Starwood — like other hotel chains — own very few individual hotels. Instead they manage or franchise their brands to hundreds of individual owners, often real estate development companies. Those individual hotel owners are responsible for setting nightly room rates.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Apple farmers in the East worry the late-season Arctic blast could take a big bite from their budding crops.

“It definitely was cold enough so that there could be some catastrophic damage to the majority of the apple crop,” said Jake Samascott, whose family grows about 100 acres of apples on their farm south of Albany.

The unseasonably cold air moved into Northeast and mid-Atlantic states this week shortly after a warm spell sped up bud growth on apple trees. Buds become more sensitive to cold as they mature, making the cold snap especially troubling in big apple-producing states such as New York.

Farmers are starting to assess the damage this

es, blueberries and strawberries.

Some apple farmers try to mitigate damage by employing windmilllike machines to direct warmer air at the trees, but they are still left playing a waiting game.

“It’s almost too early to tell, but I still feel we have a crop,” said Dwight Baugher of Baugher’s Orchards & Farm in Westminster, Maryland. He said his apple crop “got smacked pretty good” with overnight temperatures in the mid to low 20s this week.

Damage will vary from farm to farm depending on varieties, how low local temperatures dropped and how far along the buds were. Losses can even vary around a single farm, with trees in colder valleys affected while trees on a hillside escape harm. Some orchards far-

An amendment by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., would have blocked airlines from further reducing the “size, width, padding, and pitch” of seats, passengers’ legroom and the width of aisles. “It costs you an arm and a leg just to have room for your arms and legs,” Schumer said.

The amendment also would have required the Federal Aviation Administration to set standards for the minimum amount of space airlines

must provide passengers for their “safety, health and comfort.”

Airlines would have had to post the size of their seats on their websites so that consumers could take the information into consideration when buying tickets.

The proposal failed on a vote of 42-54, with all but three Democrats in favor and all but one Republican against.

Economy-class airline seats have shrunk in recent years on average from a width of 18 inches to 16.5 inches. The average pitch — the space between a point on one seat and the same on the seat in front of it — has gone from 35 inches to about 31 inches.

Alcorn County expects to be awarded federal funds made available through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS/Federal Management Agency) under the Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program.

Alcorn County hopes to be chosen to receive funds to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county.

The selection will be made by a National Board that is chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from the American Red Cross; Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federations of North America; The Salvation Army; and United Way Worldwide.

The National Board will then be charged with distributing funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country.

A local board made up of representatives from government, the Corinth Welfare Association, The Salvation Army, the Minority Volunteers Association, United Way of Corinth & Alcorn County, and others will determine how the funds awarded to Alcorn County are to be distributed among the

emergency food and shelter programs fun by local service agencies in the area.

The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds made available under this phase of the program.

Under the terms of the grant from the national board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, have a voluntary board.

Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.

Alcorn County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with the Corinth Welfare Association, Salvation Army, and AMEN Inc. participating. These agencies were responsible for providing many meals and paying many utility bills.

Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact The United Way of Corinth & Alcorn County at 662-286-8662 for an application.

The deadline for applications to be received is April 29.

Dentist’s politics are bad for patient’s blood pressure D E A R ABBY: I have been seeing the same dentist for a number of years and have always Abigail been satised with his Van Buren fiwork.

He has reDear Abby cently begun to talk politics while he works on my teeth.

While I feel he’s entitled to his opinions, I don’t think I should have to listen while his hand is in my mouth.

He doesn’t realize it, but I am very politically active with the other party.

Abby, his politicizing grates on my nerves and raises my blood pressure, but I don’t know how to tell him that I find his comments to be unprofessional.

If I change dentists, I could possibly encounter the same problem, especially in this area of the country.

Should I discuss it with him and hope he doesn’t start withholding anesthetic or charging extra out of spite?

I’m not sure how to handle this because I have dental issues and need a good dentist who will see me when I need him.

Help! — OPEN WIDE IN VIR-

GINIA DEAR OPEN WIDE: It shouldn’t be necessary to reveal your political affiliation to your dentist.

All you have to say is that there are some subjects that you find stressful, and among them are current events, so he should please refrain from bringing them up while you’re in his chair because it upsets you and raises your blood pressure.

P.S. If you feel you need more novocaine, ASK for some.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I — as well as our close friends — are having a disagreement and would like your expert advice. There is a nice man who is blind and who frequently sells brooms and other objects in our neighborhood.

Other people who have their own disabilities do the same.

I find myself making kindhearted donations to these individuals and declining to take their goods. My husband thinks we should accept the goods so we are not making a “pity” donation. I have the best intentions. Please clarify this for us, once and for all. — BEST INTENTIONS IN INDIANA DEAR BEST INTENTIONS: I’m not sure I agree with your husband.

If you have already purchased what the man is selling and

don’t need to replace it, but would like to make a donation, I see no reason to take anything you won’t use. Give the person a small donation, wish him a good day and keep your closets clutter-free. Sometimes less is more.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married three times.

My first two husbands were unfaithful and the third was bipolar. I have finally found the man of my dreams and we recently became engaged.

There is just one small problem.

He has two house dogs he loves dearly and doesn’t want to part with, and I refuse to have dogs in my house.

Our marriage is on hold because of this. What should I do? — STICKLER IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR STICKLER: If you are unable to share this man with his house pets, then realize that although he may be the man of your dreams, you are not the woman for him, and let him go.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

What some creatures eat on the regular is poisonous to other creatures. Make no assumptions. Ask and you’ll learn something interesting about the particular tolerances and preferences of those you adore.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your future success depends on being able to read the crowd today. When you anticipate what people need and want, you gain real power. In short: Know your audience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re not always in a position to follow your hunches, so seize today’s moment and run with it.

This is a prime opportunity in which your life can be markedly improved when you act on your psychic inklings.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Love will turn you into an artist. The sweetness you feel for someone puts a song in your heart, poetry in your dreams and other kinds of creativity you never even considered before into your able hands.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you needed another reason to maintain an easygoing attitude, just know that any troubles you encounter today will pass so quickly that they will hardly qualify as true “troubles.” Call them “blips” instead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Observe the situation a while longer. There will be tremendous benefits to being perceived as cool, mysterious and wise. You will embody all those things in silence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Casual conversation will be most enlightening. Social experience will teach you what you can’t get in a book. You’ll be impressed by the eloquence of others, and it will rub off on you too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You want more than the others want, and your drive is much stronger than theirs, too. Just be careful not to let your ambitions overshadow the small victories of the day that really deserve to be celebrated.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It will take more than usual to see what’s so fantastic about a situation, but don’t stop looking. There is far more good than evil in the world. Focus on the many things that are going right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t always recognize “enough” right away, and that’s something to work on now.

Knowing the proper amount of energy to bring to the situation will make everything about it better for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may not like the hand you’re dealt today, but there’s a winning way to play it. Probably you’ll have to bluff a bit. Don’t think of this as a lie; rather, think of it as a hopeful projection.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Of course you deserve your own kindness. If you’re still struggling with that it’s a good day to simply drop the fight.

Assume that one of the main things you need right now is more compassion and then give it to yourself.

Davis earns honorable mention All-American Staff Report

Bryana Davis continues to gather awards weeks after Blue Mountain College’s basketball season has ended.

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) recently announced the 2015-16 NAIA Division I Women’s Basketball AllAmerica Teams. Players were selected by the NAIA-Women’s Basketball Coaches Association All-America Committee.

The Pine Grove High School standout was one of the select few to be named honorable mention.

The junior guard has spent three seasons, two as a starter, on the hardwood for Blue Mountain College.

As an Exercise Science major who will graduate early, she led Blue Mountain in scoring this season with 268 points and 11.2 points per game. She collected 76 rebounds, shot 36-percent from the field and 80-percent from the free-throw line.

She also shot 33-percent from three-point range.

Davis said she was honored by the award, but explained the atmosphere at Blue Mountain College was a crucial part of her

success.

“I’ve been so blessed to not only continue my basketball career, but also be a part of a program that has made me feel like I was part of a family,” Davis said. “I have loved every minute of getting to be on the court, but the relationships and friendships that I have developed over these past three years have made it all worth it.

“I’ve met some of my greatest friends while here and I am so thankful to have been able to play for Coach Driskell because he has invested so much time into our game, but even more,

time preparing us for life after basketball.”

Blue Mountain head women’s coach Lavon Driskell said Davis has been a valuable part of his team the last three years.

“She has certainly made her mark in our program as a player and I’m very pleased she has been given this honor,” said Driskell. “ We will truly miss her being on the floor for our team, but she will always be a part of our basketball program.

“I congratulate her on her accomplishments and the fact that she was recognized for what she has contributed.”

Wright earns pair of coaching awards

BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information

Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Cord Wright has received a pair of awards after directing the Tigerss to a successful season on the hardwood.

Wright was selected as both the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) District 15 and Region 23 Coach of the Year for his efforts with the Tigers this campaign.

“I’m obviously extremely excited,” said Wright. “Both of those awards as anybody knows are a credit to your team, staff and personnel behind you. I’m just fortunate to be here with good players that made good plays.”

Wright officially completed his rebuilding efforts at Northeast during the 201516 campaign. The Tigers won only five games during his inaugural season at the helm, but two short years later they amassed a total of 18 victories.

Northeast began the campaign by claiming four of its initial five games prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. That included the first-ever triumphs by the Tigers over Baton Rouge (La.) Community College.

Wright’s crew crossed the century mark for the fourth time at Arkansas Baptist College in their final contest of November. They became the first Northeast squad to score 100 or more points in that many games during a single year since the 1999-2000 edition that captured the NJCAA Region 23 championship.

The Tigers started a sixgame winning streak in December and went undefeated during that month. Northeast picked up marquee victories at East Mississippi Community College and against Columbia State (Tenn.) Community College to close the fall semester.

As the Tigers extended their success into the new year, the fans continued to increase in

number. Northeast had three contests in which over 1,000 individuals filed into Bonner Arnold Coliseum, including a season-high attendance of 1,775 versus Itawamba Community College.

Northeast qualified for the postseason as the third place entrant from the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North Division with a 15-8 overall record.

The Tigers exited the MACJC State Tournament with a first-round loss to Jones County Junior College at Itawamba’s Davis Event Center. But greater things were just around the corner for Northeast’s talented roster.

Wright guided the Tigers to three wins in as many days to obtain the NJCAA Region 23 title on the campus of Mississippi College. It was Northeast’s eighth regional crown and the first since 2000.

The Tigers made the trip to Hutchinson, Kansas for

the NJCAA Division I National Tournament and lost to eventual champion Salt Lake (Utah) Community College in its opener at the Sports Arena.

“I credit our guys, especially our sophomores. We had ups and downs like everybody, but we kept fighting,” Wright said. “What we did was extremely special. It’s a great experience, but you’ve got to move on and keep getting better.”

The Lafayette, Louisiana native has now led Northeast to the state and regional playoffs for two consecutive campaigns. He has accumulated a 35-19 mark during that stretch, including a 22-4 record at home.

Wright has helped six former Tigers achieve their dreams of competing at the four-year level since arriving on the Booneville campus, including Mississippi State University’s Reggie Patterson and 2015 NJCAA All-American Dimario Jackson at the University of North Alabama.

PBS’ documentary features Jackie Robinson Associated Press

NEW YORK — PBS’ documentary on the life of Jackie Robinson gets most interesting when the gloves and bats are put away for good.

The two-part film directed

by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon airs Monday and Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT on most PBS stations. The first part details Robinson’s early life and his baseball career, when he became the first black player in Major League Baseball in 1947. The second part is more complex, showing Robinson navigating a civil rights era that he helped put in motion.

Burns’ team was nudged into making “Jackie Robinson” by Jackie’s 93-year-old widow Rachel. They had gotten to know each other when Burns made his documen-

tary series on baseball, which aired in 1994. She wanted Burns to make a film solely on Robinson but he didn’t have time, and two attempts with other directors didn’t work out.

Finally, Burns, his daughter and son-in-law found time, although he gently reminded her that “you can’t fire me.”

“You can tell in the moments that she’s on (screen) that she wants you to understand how complicated this was, that it wasn’t just this simple mythology that we have,” he said.

The film illustrates how pressure had been building to integrate baseball, particularly after blacks served with distinction in World War II. Robinson was urged to turn the other cheek when he endured taunts and insults, and

this took effort — it wasn’t in Robinson’s nature.

They cast doubt on a moment that has been immortalized with a statue in Brooklyn. Early in Robinson’s rookie year, teammate Pee Wee Reese supposedly put his arm around Robinson to signal acceptance by a white player who grew up in Kentucky.

But there are real questions about whether this happened at all. It would have required Reese, a shortstop, to cross the field to Robinson, who played first base. There was no mention of it in newspaper accounts of the game in Cincinnati when it supposedly took place. Rachel Robinson had urged a different statue depicting the two players shaking hands. Robinson himself indicated in an au-

tobiography that something like it had happened — but a year later, when he played second base.

Burns also detailed the supposed embrace in his 1994 documentary series.

“It’s white people wanting to have skin in this game,” Burns said. “We want to feel that we were good enough and forward-thinking enough. It’s a good story, but it’s mythology.”

After being traded to the New York Giants in 1957, Robinson retired rather than play for the Dodgers’ hated rivals. He became an executive at Chock Full ‘O Nuts, and active in civil rights.

His post-baseball public life was complicated. As the film states at the opening of Please see ROBINSON | 11A

Former Vandy football player guilty in rape

BY SHEILA BURKE Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn.

— A former Vanderbilt football player has been found guilty of raping an unconscious student in a dorm.

It took less than three hours for the jury of nine men and three women to find Cory Batey guilty of aggravated rape, two counts of attempted aggravated rape, facilitation of aggravated rape and three counts of aggravated sexual battery.

Batey, a 22-year-old from Nashville, is one of four former football players charged with rape and accused of violating the female student in a dorm room in June of 2013. He was the only one on trial.

The verdict Friday arrived as other colleges and universities across the country continue to face significantly increased scrutiny of sexual misconduct on campus, both by activists, lawmakers and the federal government.

A jury last year convicted Batey and former player Brandon Vandenburg on multiple aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery charges. The verdicts were thrown out after

Davidson County Criminal Court Judge declared a mistrial after lawyers discovered that the jury foreman had been a victim of statutory rape.

Just like the trial last year, the retrial featured graphic images and videos of the sexual assault. Police said they recovered images and videos from the players’ cell phones. Testimony showed that one of the players sent video of the assault to friends while it was happening.

“Our first thoughts are with the victim and the incredible strength she has shown, and continues to show, both throughout the investigation and the legal proceedings,” Vanderbilt University Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs Beth Fortune said in a statement. “Our heart continues to go out to her as she has endured this retrial. This case has had a lasting impact on us all.’

The trial this week once again raised questions about bystanders in campus sexual assaults.

At least five student athletes saw the unconscious woman in a state of distress but did not call for help, including several Please see GUILTY | 12A

Sheriff: Former KU player killed himself Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former University of Kansas running back who had been missing for a week has been found dead in a secluded area in central Missouri.

Maries County Sheriff Chris Heitman said Saturday that 24-year-old Brandon Kyle Bourbon’s body was found Friday afternoon on a riverfront property near Vienna, about 80 miles west of his hometown of Polosi.

He says Bourbon

killed himself, but he didn’t provide additional details. Bourbon was reported missing April 2.

the second night, “Americans would see the real Jackie Robinson, and they would not always like him.”

Robinson was a Republican, a member of the party of Lincoln, and supported Richard Nixon in the 1960 election against John F. Kennedy.

During the campaign, he urged Nixon to reach out to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. when the minister was jailed. Nixon didn’t, but Kennedy did, and narrowly won the election with newfound black support.

After Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson signed civil rights legislation, Robinson supported him in 1964 and urged other blacks to do the same.

He was essentially there at the birth of the Republicans’ strategy of appealing to Southern whites, and Nixon snubbed him after he was elected president in 1968.

Although he pushed for civil rights progress and held fundraisers at his Connecticut home, Robinson worked for a Republican in New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.

He clashed with Malcolm X and more militant black activists. Twenty

years after he broke baseball’s color barrier, some blacks called him an “Uncle Tom.” All along, the Robinsons dealt with the difficulties of being parents in the 1960s. Jackie Robinson Jr. returned from Vietnam with a drug addiction that he struggled for years to beat, and just as it seemed he had, he died in a car accident.

Robinson threw out the first pitch at the 1972 World Series, and spoke out on the need for baseball to hire a black manager. He died of a heart attack shortly thereafter at age 53.

The end of the film — and the end of Robinson’s life — is filled with pessimism. He realizes that he never had it made, that despite the progress he embodied, he was still a black man in a white man’s world, Burns said.

The filmmaker said he gets criticism, even hate mail, for talking about race frequently in his projects, but said it’s an important, ongoing part of the American story. He’s eager to make a documentary on President Barack Obama, who is interviewed for “Jackie Robinson,” but figures that needs 15 or 20 years of perspective.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh’s next satellite camping trip through the South has been cancelled.

The NCAA shut down so-called satellite football camps Friday after the Big Ten turned out to be the only Power Five conference in favor of them.

The Division I Council approved a proposal from the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference requiring Bowl Subdivision schools “to conduct camps and clinics at their school’s facilities or at facilities regularly used for practice or competition,” the NCAA said. “Additionally, FBS coaches and non-coaching staff members with responsibilities specific to football may be employed only at their school’s camps or clinics.”

The change was effective immediately. Harbaugh, whose sweeping tour of the South last year heightened the debate about satellite camps, already had stops lined up this year in Florida and Alabama.

Division I Council chairman Jim Phillips, the athletic director at Northwestern, said the Big 12 and the Pac-12 also voted for the ACC and SEC proposal. From the Group of Five conferences, the Mid-American Conference, Conference USA and the American Athletic Conference voted with the Big Ten. Power Five votes

count for two, so the final tally was 10-5 in favor of banning satellite camps.

The Big Ten also supported keeping the satellite camp issue as part of a comprehensive look at football that the sports’ NCAA oversight committee plans to undertake this year. Last year the Big Ten wanted to bring several proposals before the council, including an early signing period, initial eligibility, roster and coaching staff sizes and in-season practice time, but the 10 FBS conferences agreed instead to a broad-based review.

“What occurred was that the SEC and the ACC in February or so felt that the satellite camp issue was such a critical issue that it should go in front of the council and be taken out of the comprehensive package and the holistic review,” Phillips said. “From a Big Ten perspective, I think we’re disappointed.

We felt like this should be part of all the other legislative items that we have tabled and that we haven’t brought forward to the council.”

The SEC and ACC already ban their coaches from working at football camps away from their campuses. The Big Ten and other conferences do not. Harbaugh, Penn State coach James Franklin and others have been trying to make recruiting inroads in the South by guest coaching at camps held at other

colleges and high schools.

Earlier this week, new Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said satellite camps are good for prospective college athletes.

“The benefit is to the kids to get the exposure to great coaching and coaches from around the country,” Manuel told The Associated Press before the ruling. “It also gives different coaches from around the country an exposure to kids in those regions. As opposed to saying, well, if you’re interested in coach Harbaugh having to look at you, you have to get on a plane, sign up for camp, pay for overnight hotel or pay for an overnight camp, in order to participate and get an opportunity to have coach Harbaugh or any of our coaches interact with you.”

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey was the most vocal critic of what he called “recruiting camps,” but said his league was prepared to lift its restrictions unless the NCAA stepped in. The SEC is in the most fertile football recruiting territory in the country, so its coaches don’t necessarily need to venture outside the league’s footprint for talent. If anything, permitting satellite camps might have led to SEC coaches encroaching on each other’s turf.

The bickering over satellite camps started in 2014, when Franklin and his staff worked at camps held in

Florida and Georgia. Ohio State jumped on board, sending coaches to Florida Atlantic.

“This decision, unfortunately, will result in student-athletes having fewer opportunities to familiarize themselves with their college choices,” Franklin said in a statement. “We have seen, though, that our coaching staff will use whatever NCAA framework exists to build quality relationships and bring outstanding student-athletes from across the nation to Penn State.”

Harbaugh took satellite camps to another level.

“I don’t see the negative to that,” Manuel said. “Yes, the coaches would spend more time or the assistant coaches would spend more time (traveling). But in many cases they’re doing camps on their own campuses at different times of the year anyway.”

Notes: The Division I Council approved a proposal to clarify academic integrity rules and make clearer when the NCAA should be involved with academic misconduct involving athletes. ... The council tabled a proposal that would allow NCAA championship events to be held in states that permit gambling on college sports and deregulated electronic communication with prospective athletes in football, cross country, track and field and swimming and diving.

Fast track: Early enrollment now common in college football

BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

In January 2007, mega-recruit Jimmy Clausen enrolled at Notre Dame, bypassing a final semester of high school to partake in spring practice with the Fighting Irish and get a jump on becoming the starting quarterback.

Early enrollment was a rarity in college football at the time.

Almost a decade later, it’s commonplace.

All but four teams in the Power Five conferences have at least one member of the 2016 freshman class already enrolled and practicing, a total of more than 250 players. West Virginia, North Carolina State and Florida have the most freshmen early enrolled this year with nine each.

Now a highly touted quarterback recruit from Alabama is taking early enrollment a step further. Jake Bentley announced this week he will skip his senior year of high school altogether and enroll at the University of South Carolina this summer.

While players who have enrolled early say it increased their ability to play as freshmen and gave them a head start on earning credits toward graduation, some in college sports wonder, what’s the rush?

“I don’t think there’s any way that it’s in the best interest of quality preparation for college

to go early,” said Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, head of the NCAA’s football oversight committee. “I think it’s also fair to assert that not all of the kids that are doing this are excellent students. Just the fact that they were able to get out of high school early doesn’t make them necessarily ready for college.”

At first, most early enrollees were quarterbacks. No position requires more mental preparation.

Clemson star DeShaun Watson got on the fast track after his sophomore year of high school, with the encouragement of thenTigers offensive coordinator Chad Morris.

Watson had to give up a final season of high school basketball but knew football was his future.

“I missed my friends, my last semester of high school and all the memories, but this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” he said. “I wanted to play as a freshman.” Watson was Clemson’s starter by game four of his freshman season. Only injuries held him back after that.

Watson, from Gainesville, Georgia, about 90 miles from Clemson, South Carolina, attended prom and graduation, and every other weekend went home to watch the basketball team play during that first college semester.

“Coach (Dabo) Swinney does

a great job,” Watson said. “He let all the mid-year guys go back and experience that.”

Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said he doesn’t recruit players with early enrollment in mind, but “I don’t see anything wrong with it.”

“It’s obviously a boost for the colleges,” Rodriguez said. “They get a player and get him acclimated to the college system. We like it, but we leave it up to (the players).”

He said the greatest benefits to players enrolling early come in the weight room.

“Being with 100 football players and lifting in that competitive environment accelerates the maturation process,” Rodriguez said.

Watson said he went from 181 pounds when he got to Clemson to near 200 by the start of his freshman season.

Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi will work with players interested in early enrollment, but he isn’t as positive about the trend.

“There’s no reason to push the envelope on this,” Narduzzi said.

“You just finished your senior year, you’re just starting to wind down and finish the last half of your senior year, whether it’s playing another sport or enjoying the prom, just really enjoying being a high school student for one half year.”

Early enrollment is not just for

quarterbacks any more.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones used early enrollment to give his team a fast infusion of talent after going 5-7 in 2013, his first season in Knoxville. The Vols had 24 players enroll early from highly rated recruiting classes in 2014 and ‘15.

“A lot of times, just the growth in one semester is the equivalent of a redshirt year,” Jones said.

“It’s really been beneficial for us in really flipping our roster and turning our football program around.”

Tight end Ethan Wolf, a threesport athlete from Minster, Ohio, was part of Tennessee’s 2014 early enrollee class and started 11 games as a freshman.

“Being from a small town, there’s a lot of camaraderie on those teams. To have to leave your senior year of baseball and basketball is kind of a tough decision,” Wolf said. “But when I weighed the options of the situation — we needed a tight end — that this is a big-time opportunity that I needed to capitalize on, everything fell into place.”

Players who early enroll can count toward the previous year’s signing class, allowing a team to sign more than the NCAA limit of 28 in a year.

“It’s a creative way to manage your roster, but on the flip side of that, you’re always paying with a credit card, too,” new

Rutgers coach and former Ohio State assistant Chris Ash said.

“I don’t think you necessarily go out and say, I’m only going to recruit guys that are going to be mid-year (enrollees) because that pool shrinks pretty fast.”

Bentley’s situation drew national attention, but the circumstances are atypical.

Bentley first played high school ball for his father, Bobby, in Duncan, South Carolina. When Bobby Bentley got a job on Gus Malzahn’s staff at Auburn, the family moved to Alabama and Jake played the last two seasons at Opelika High School.

New South Carolina coach Will Muschamp hired Bobby Bentley as running backs coach this offseason. Instead of choosing a new high school in South Carolina or maybe staying behind to finish at Opelika, Jake Bentley decided to join his father — and compete for a starting quarterback job that is wide open.

Bowlsby said early enrollment is among the many issues the oversight committee will consider when it meets this month and takes a comprehensive look at recruiting.

“I wonder where it stops and when you might have the entire recruiting class starting in January?” Bowlsby said. “It’s a troubling trend that needs to be examined.”

Hield, Stewart win Wooden Awards Wind calls the shots at the Masters

BY BETH HARRIS Assocaited Press

LOS ANGELES — Buddy Hield of Oklahoma and Breanna Stewart of four-time national champion Connecticut won the John R. Wooden Award as national college basketball players of the year Friday night.

Hield also claimed the Jerry West shooting guard of the year award, having led Division I with 147 3-pointers made. He finished second in the nation in scoring, averaging 25.0 points, while taking his team to the Final Four

in his senior year.

Stewart capped her college career with her second straight Wooden Award, to go with her four most outstanding player trophies from the Final Four.

They received their trophies during the second College Basketball Awards in a nationally televised show from The Novo in downtown Los Angeles.

“It’s been fun and I can’t be more blessed to be around college basketball,” he said. “I can’t be prouder and I thank my

family for supporting me through the whole journey.”

Stewart lost just five games in her four-year career. As a freshman, she had predicted the Huskies would win four straight national titles.

“I don’t regret it, but it wasn’t easy, that’s for sure,” she said.

Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith received the Wooden Legends of Coaching award. He is one of two coaches to lead five different schools to the NCAA Tournament.

BY EDDIE PELLS Assocaited Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Billy Horschel felt blown away.

His second shot Saturday on No. 15 at the Masters came to rest 10 paces onto the green. He marked the ball, put it back down and took his time sizing up the putt. Suddenly, a gust of wind kicked up. The ball rolled down a slope, off the false front and plunked back into the pond.

“I didn’t have my scuba gear,” he said.

A windbreaker would’ve worked better.

Five minutes, one penalty shot and one animated discussion later, what could’ve been an eagle wound up as a bogey for Horschel. It was all par for the course on a day when gusts reaching 30 mph were the only things roaring through the famous Georgia pines.

“I did a really good job of maintaining some composure,” said Horschel, who made headlines by ripping the USGA about greens at Chambers Bay at last year’s U.S. Open. “It wasn’t their fault. They can’t do anything about it.”

The players felt pretty helpless, too.

Long before Horschel’s debacle, Justin Thomas took the putter back for a 7-foot tester to save par on No. 7. A gust of wind picked up just after he hit it. A few seconds later, he was standing behind the comebacker — 40 feet away on the opposite side of the hole.

“Every shot is just guessing and hitting and pray-

“I hit a 3-wood onto No. 4 and it caught a gust and ended up short of the bunker,” said Larry Mize, the 1987 champion. “Not much you can do out there.”

The 57-year-old Mize opened the day with three straight birdies. He wound up with a 78 and said he couldn’t remember a threeday stretch at Augusta where the winds had been so consistently steady. Saturday was the worst.

The toughest part of the course?

“The first 18 holes, I think,” Mize said.

Horschel wasn’t laughing. He said his arm-waving discussion with rules officials on the 15th green wasn’t anything too bad — mostly about the tournament’s success in getting the course “on a fine line,” especially considering the winds.

“It’s on a fine line but it’s fair,” said Horschel, whose 73 could have been a shot or more better. “An unfortunate situation, bad luck.

But I think the golfing gods — I think they owe me one.”

Not only him.

Playing his first Masters, Kisner opened the third round with two birdies over the first six holes. He wound up shooting 76, and compared these to British Open conditions, “but on a golf course you don’t want to play in those conditions.”

What to do after a day like that?

“You go home and have a beer, sit on the couch and laugh at everyone else,” he said.

a memory of anything,” defense attorney Courtney Teasley told jurors in closing arguments.

She called Vandenburg the “puppet master” and said Batey was the second drunkest person in the room and was being used as the entertainment by his teammates.

She said what happened to the woman was bad but it wasn’t rape.

“We know what rape is and Mr. Batey’s not guilty of that,” Teasley told jurors She compared Batey to the victim and said both had blacked out. However, prosecutors maintained that, unlike the victim, Batey was walking around.

The victim in the case testified earlier in the day, the second time in a year that she told a courtroom full of strangers what happened to her. When a prosecutor showed the woman a picture of herself unconscious, she broke down in tears and

said: “It’s me. It’s me.”

She was then a 21-yearold incoming senior. The woman, who graduated from Vanderbilt and is now in a neuroscience Ph.D program in another state, said she has no memory of the sexual assault. She testified that she woke up alone in a strange dorm room, feeling sick and not knowing where she was or what happened to her.

She said she had been dating Vandenburg for about two weeks, and the last thing she remembered was him plying her with alcohol at a popular bar the night before.

The woman discovered what happened after police showed her some of the images and video recovered from the cell phones. Nashville police got involved because Vanderbilt officials contacted them when school surveillance footage showed players carrying an unconscious woman in a dorm.

GUILTY CONTINUED FROM 11A

ing,” said Kevin Kisner, who played alongside Thomas.

Louis Oosthuizen was one of the few who handled the wind, shooting 71.

“Probably feels like a 66,” said Oosthuizen, the 2012 runner-up.

Oosthuizen said he was aiming-left edge putts outside the right of the cup to compensate for a northnorthwest wind that blew steadily in the 20 mph range most of the day.

Patrick Reed played two times as much break as he normally would — and made his 8-foot birdie putt on No. 13. That didn’t prevent a 3-over 75, a decent score in these conditions.

How bad was the wind?

“It’s the first time I’ve ever stepped up here on 12 and the wind felt the same as the rest of the golf course,” Reed said of the par-3, in the heart of Amen Corner, where wacky winds are the norm.

They’re just as vexing on the tee box of the par-3 fourth — a 240-yard hole set on the west side of the golf course that’s a monster on a calm day. There was a steady right-to-left wind that fooled players into aiming at the green, only to watch the ball balloon skyward and come up short, or left, or both.

Playing in the final group, Jordan Spieth clanged his tee shot off the metal in the stands to the left of the green. Not to be outdone, Rory McIlroy followed by pinballing his shot off nearly the same spot.

who testified that they saw her lying partially nude in a dorm hallway.

In closing arguments, prosecutors told jurors that the woman was raped in the dorm room and then taken out in a hallway and left out there like trash. But they also said jurors had more than enough evidence to convict.

“I’ve never had a case that was videoed and photographed by the people who committed the crime,” Tom Thurman, one of the prosecutors, told jurors.

Prosecutors said the dorm room attack lasted 32 minutes and it was Batey who was all over the woman once the players got her in the room.

Batey testified that he had been drinking heavily, blacked out and couldn’t remember the sexual assault.

“There’s nothing to show that Mr. Batey has

Ronnie Spector honors UK peers

BY PABLO GORONDI Associated Press

Ronnie Spector, “English Heart” (429 Records) In 1964, Ronnie Spector toured Britain with the Ronettes just weeks before the Beatles arrived in America. “English Heart” is her tribute to that British Invasion, in turn influenced by her band and former husband Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound.”

While Spector is often cited for the power of

her pipes, these 11 songs are styled more around subtlety and insinuation.

Producer Scott Jacoby has wisely favored the feel of the 1960s originals over the sounds, evocation rather than imitation. There are exceptions, like the thumping drums and Farfisa organ on the Dave Clark Five tune “Because.” Conversely, electronic percussion on “You’ve Got Your Troubles” (originally by The Fortunes) lends a contemporary touch, con-

tributing to the accommodating combination of old and new.

If there’s a jarring moment on the album, it’s Spector substituting “baby” for “Lord” on the refrain of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” which somehow manages to seem faster than the Animals’ version when it is actually slower.

Spector wisely covers smaller but superior U.S. hits like Lulu’s “Oh Me Oh My (I’m a Fool for You Baby)” and Sandie Shaw’s

“Girl Don’t Come” instead of the usual smashes. A version of the Rolling Stones’ semi-obscure “I’d Much Rather Be With the Girls” with the daughter of her late sister (and fellow Ronette) Estelle Bennett and cousin Cindy Mizelle is pure joy.

Hindered by an uneven recording career since the ‘70s, Spector also covers the Zombies, Beatles, Bee Gees and Kinks on “English Heart,” and sounds ready to create some more memories of her own.

Lady Gaga’s childhood piano is up for auction

BY ULA ILNYTZKY Associated Press

NEW YORK — Lady Gaga was only 5 years old when she wrote her first song on an upright piano that her grand-

parents bought. Now the instrument that inspired the pop music sensation is going on the auction block at a pre-sale estimate of $100,000 to $200,000.

The piano is being offered at Julien’s Auctions’ “Music Icons” memorabilia sale at the Hard Rock Cafe New York on May 21.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the piano will benefit the Born This Way Foundation, launched

by Gaga in 2012 to empower youth. The organization also addresses issues of bullying, poor body image, and acceptance and tolerance.

The Everett Piano Co. instrument was featured in a 2011-2012 “Women Who Rock” exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.

Gaga’s paternal grandparents purchased the piano for $780 in 1966 and

later gave it to her parents.

Little Stefani Germanotta began taking piano lessons when she was 4 and wrote her first composition, “Dollar Bills,” a year later, a song inspired by Pink Floyd’s “Money.”

“When Stefani started to crawl, she would use the leg of the piano to pull herself up and stand, and in doing so, her fingers would eventually land on the keys,” her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, recalled once.

“She would stay there and just keep pressing the keys to hear the sound. We would then start to hold her up or sit on the bench and let her tinker.”

When she turned 13, her parents bought her a baby grand piano.

Darren Julien, owner of Julien’s Auctions, said investors and collectors are looking for ways to diversify their portfolios and historical artifacts like rock ‘n’

roll memorabilia that have proven to be great investments.

“Values continue to increase due to the collectability of Western pop culture globally,” he said.

“Rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia is the new art market.”

The auction also includes more than 85 Elvis Presley items, including a custom-made 1969 Gibson Dove guitar that Presley’s father made for him. It was given to a fan by Presley at a 1975 concert. The guitar has Elvis Presley inland across the fingerboard and a Kenpo Karate decal (Presley was a black belt in karate). It’s estimated to bring $200,000 to $300,000.

Memorabilia from singer-guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kurt Cobain, the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Michael Jackson and other music icons also are part of the sale.

Latest dust-up in plus size wars includes Amy Schumer vs. Glamour

BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Amy Schumer took to Instagram in a black bikini to — punctuate? — her feelings about being included in a special edition of Glamour aimed at celebrating “chic at any size.”

That’s exactly what the cover sings in a tagline accompanying a photo of Ashley Graham, who made her mark in modeling wearing lingerie for the issue’s partner, the Lane Bryant chain of stores aimed at the plus-size women’s market.

The content inside the special edition out this

week amounts to repurposed stories from previous Glamours, including a cover shoot with Schumer, but it doesn’t reference her as plus size — only as one of several women “who inspire us,” along with Graham, Melissa McCarthy and Adele.

No matter. Schumer took to Twitter when the magazine was released Tuesday questioning as “odd” why she wasn’t told of her inclusion and declaring the “plus size” label unnecessary in general. Not that there’s anything wrong with being plus, she was quick to note.

“Plus size is considered

Cryptoquip

size 16 in America,” she tweeted. “I go between a size 6 and an 8. ... Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size?”

She went on to deem the magazine’s decision as “not cool glamour not glamourous.”

As social media dust-ups often go, Glamour’s editor in chief, Cindi Leive, had some tweets of her own.

She noted the issue was aimed at sizes 12 and up and said she DOES find Schumer’s regular message of body positivity and talking back to body haters “inspiring,” as the cover indicates.
