The Alcorn County NAACP Branch is inviting the community to take part in the food, fun and fellowship of the annual Freedom Fund Banquet. The chapter’s main fundraiser is set for 7 p.m. Friday at the Easom Community Center. “I think it’s going to be one to remember,” said J.C. Hill, a member of Anderson the banquet committee. “Being at Easom this year, it’s going to give people a chance to see the facility and how well it is being taken care of.” The evening will include food by chef Ben Betts, musical performances, community service awards for those who made significant contributions in the past Please see BANQUET | 2A

Walk benefits Oasis
Rev. Roger Shock has a message for those in the area. The First United Methodist Church pastor wants people to know the downtown Corinth congregation is committed to doing the Lord’s work at a place it has called home since 1960. FUMC has been a fixture at the corner of Fillmore and Bunch streets. The church, which completed a work on a new sanctuary earlier this year and modernized the steeple in 2014, has started another building phase dealing with the back of the building. “First Methodist is a church with the heart of God and the city of Corinth,” said Shock as he overlooked construction that brought down a large wall adjacent to the church. An anonymous donation on April 5 allowed the church to bring the wall down behind the 903 Fillmore Street property FUMC had purchased. “This is a big deal,” said Shock as workers with Pittman Construction hauled

Supporters of the Oasis Medical Center gathered to champion choosing life on Saturday. The 21st annual spring Walk for Life drew members of churches from throughout Alcorn County and neighboring areas to Crossroads Regional Park. The event raised thousands of dollars in support of the center, which provides pregnancy testing, ultrasound and information for women who may be pregnant. “We’re praying for people who are so vulnerable to come in, not so we can talk them into anything but just so they can be touched by the love of Christ and get accurate information so they can make a decision,” said Martha Jobe, executive director. “But we always are praying

Youth help fix historic site BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Raking fresh mulch onto the walking trail of a Union siege lines site, Corinth students continued a project to make one of the city’s historic properties more accessible. About 10 youths worked on the project Saturday morning at the site on the southeast corner of Mississippi Highway 2 and North Polk Street. The National Park Foundation awarded a Park Stewards Grant for the project. “A lot of people don’t know that this facility is even here,” said Phillip Henson, social studies teacher at Corinth High School. “Hopefully, by them working and taking some ownership in it, they can also get the word out that the National Park
Service is more than just the interpretive center and Shiloh around here.” He estimated about 95 students have had a hand in the work on the approximately half-mile looping trail, which gives walkers a look at some preserved earthworks. The trail had become washed-out and in need of work. The project includes removing the old trail material, tree roots and other debris and installing a foot bridge, mulch and water bars for erosion prevention. “It’s a project than can keep going,” said Park Service Ranger Heather Henson. “Next year, any other high school teacher could pick this up and do this

Casey and Bernard admitted their roles in a conspiracy to possess more than 500 grams of cocaine, and Winn admitted her role in a conspiracy to possess more
than 100 kilos of marijuana. Casey and Bernard are facing a maximum prison sentence of 40 years and a $5,000 fine. Winn faces a maximum sentence of five years and a $5,000 fine. U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. schedPlease see DRUGS | 3A

suitable. “It will eventually be leveled off and sodded,” said the pastor. “Then some type of children’s playground will be there.” By taking down the block wall, one quarter of an acre was opened up for the church. It took Pittman Construction less than two days to get rid of the large wall. “It used to be a show place in the home’s back-
yard,” said Shock. Future plans call for the disassembling of playground equipment near the rear of Fillmore Street Chapel, which is also owned by FUMC, and a playground being moved to the new renovated area. “It will take a few weeks for the area to dry up before we can take the next step with it, but it is going to look so much nicer,” said Shock.

Today in History
Local/Region
The Rock Hill baseball bunch recalled BY BILLY WAGONER McNairy County Historian
Today is Sunday, April 19, the 109th day of 2015. There are 256 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On April 19, 1865, a funeral was held at the White House for President Abraham Lincoln, assassinated five days earlier; his coffin was then taken to the U.S. Capitol for a private memorial service in the Rotunda.
On this date: In 1775, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord. In 1912, a special subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee opened hearings in New York into the Titanic disaster. In 1943, during World War II, tens of thousands of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began a valiant but ultimately futile battle against Nazi forces. In 1951, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, relieved of his Far East command by President Harry S. Truman, bade farewell in an address to Congress in which he quoted a line from a ballad: “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.” In 1965, New York City radio station WINS-AM launched its all-news format, which continues to this day, making it America’s oldest all-news broadcaster. In 1989, 47 sailors were killed when a gun turret exploded aboard the USS Iowa in the Caribbean. (The Navy initially suspected that a dead crew member had deliberately sparked the blast, but later said there was no proof of that.) In 1993, the 51-day siege at the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, ended as fire destroyed the structure after federal agents began smashing their way in; dozens of people, including sect leader David Koresh, were killed. In 1995, a truck bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. (Bomber Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.)
One year ago: The captain of a ferry that sank off the coast of South Korea, leaving more than 300 dead, was arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need. (Lee Joon-seok was later sentenced to 36 years in prison; he was acquitted of a homicide charge which could have carried a death sentence.)
(Editor’s Note: Greg Curry recently submitted a photo of the Rock Hill Rockets baseball team, asking Daily Corinthian readers to help identify team members. Curry’s dream is to write a book about the team. The following story is in response to the photo and a request for information. We thought it worth sharing to readers.) Some 10 years ago, a stranger called me to ask for information about the Rock Hill, Mississippi, baseball team. He said he thought Billy Bob Thornton should make a movie based on it and asked me for information. I didn’t know who Billy Bob Thornton was and soon forgot the matter. So, here is what I can remember — at least some of it is the truth — 60 odd years dims the memory. The Isbells were successful in the meat processing business starting in East Corinth before expanding and moving near Harper Road. I knew the whole bunch, played against them for the Rock Hill days until they later became the Corinth Rockets.
The Gilchrist team went there on a flatbed truck in 1951, I was 15 years old. Rock Hill was just that, a rock strewn hillside with a shade tree or two and a chicken wire backstop. I got in the final four innings as a kid catcher. Al Barnes pitched and Brewster Curtis caught. Al was a heck of a nice guy, he always encouraged me to play baseball. Brewster played all positions for 40 or 50 years. He went from his last game to the nursing home. Roy C. and Wayne Isbell were there, gangling boys who seemed to be all arms and legs. Vernest was in the military at the time (about 51 or 52). Archie Isbell was the father, he sat cross-legged in his overalls near first base. “Mom” Isbell was on the sidelines as a “rah rah” person. We had a hell-of-a-ballgame every time we played. They played to win and anything else was a wasted effort. Tragedy struck in 1953. Archie Isbell, Al Barnes and another person drowned during a fishing mishap in the Tennessee River near Pickwick. This tragedy cost me my supporter, Al Barnes. The competition with Rock Hill went on for 10 or 12 years,

uled sentencing for July 1. Earlier this month, Angel Case, 47, of Diamondhead, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge. She is facing a maximum prison term of 20 years and up to a $1 million fine. She has a June 23 sentencing date. In exchange for the pleas, the government dismissed the remaining charges against the four. A fifth person, Delano Lewis, 45, of Picayune, is awaiting trial. Authorities said the five were arrested after a June 18, 2013, search of a Diamondhead home that resulted in the seizure of ice, the purest form of meth, cocaine and prescription drugs. Case and Lewis were at the home at the time. Prosecutors said Case told investigators she was a courier for Casey and Bernard and the three would pick up pounds

of meth, kilos of cocaine and 50 to 100 pounds of marijuana from hotels in Houston to distribute in Hancock County. Case told agents which hotels they stayed at and prosecutors said records confirmed the hotel stays throughout 2013. Phone records for Nov. 15, 2013, showed Case called Casey and Bernard while she was in the Hancock County jail to discuss drug trafficking and money owed as a result of the transactions. On Dec. 5, Drug Enforcement Administration agents received a tip that Casey and Bernard were headed to Houston to make a buy and records confirmed Casey had a truck to make the trip. On Dec. 7, West Baton Rouge drug taskforce officers stopped the pickup, which Winn was driving, and seized 75 pounds of marijuana, 3 kilos of cocaine and one pound of meth.
summer Sundays spent on a baseball field. They moved the playing field to State Line Road by about ’62. By then the Rock Hill team was managed/coached by Vernest Isbell. Sometimes they sprung Floyd Pratt out of jail to pitch the Sunday games. Ronnie Pittman liked to play as much as Brewster Curtis. Ronnie was off the high school team with Corinth’s Gene Box and Don Blasingame. They won the state title in 1951. Vernest spent cash to win games. He traveled to Jackson, Tenn., and brought in left-hander Bill Brewer to throw a onehitter on us. He paid Brewer $50, fed him and transported him to and from. It cost Vernest the equivalent of two weeks work, but his team won. In a state championship game down on the Gulf Coast he flew left-hander Ronnie Hardin down to pitch. Hardin was a standout at Union University in Jackson, Tenn. and should have gone pro. I can see Vernest now — coaching at third base, blue plaid shirt with sleeves rolled up (see it in the pictures) jeans, an old seedy blue baseball cap. A

If your name is Peyton and you play quarterback, you are used to some attention about your name. When your dad is the McNairy County general sessions judge, then your last name is also prominent in the county. While Peyton McMahan has strong family love for his names, he also wants others to know he is extremely proud of the name Christian as well. He became a Christian as a 7-year-old at Ramer Baptist Church. The irony with Peyton’s name is that he is not named after Peyton Manning despite his dad’s fan allegiance to the Tennessee Volunteers. He is named after great-great grandfather William Peyton McMahan. His middle name comes from his dad, Van McMahan, and great-great-grandfather Van Wardlow. “I’ve gotten a lot of teasing over being named Peyton and been called Peyton Manning many times,” he said. “My friends also tease me about my dad being the judge. They say I would never get pulled over or ever carried to jail.” The McMahan family are members at Lakeview Baptist. Peyton hopes his actions show he has Christ in his life. Peyton will follow the legacy left by his parents, Van and Christy, and will go to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in the fall. He hopes to major in pre-med with the goal of being an orthope-

to build his arm strength and add weight to help him become a better quarterback. McMahan took control of the job early in the season and took the majority of snaps over the season along with playing safety on defense. An added part of Peyton’s life in the off-season was girlfriend Abbie Sweat. She would always leave him a surprise on Thursday before every game. “It was great to have Abbie around to try to keep me pumped up about the games,” said McMahan. “She was my friend even when things were not going well in football.” The senior QB said the hardest thing he has ever had to do was play this season without his Papaw (Doug “Slick” McMahan) in the stands. His grandfather died in May of last year. “He never missed one of my games and every game I would look up the stands wishing he was at the game,” he said. McMahan was named an Academic All-State player before the season and he is finishing his MCHS career with a 4.0 grade point average. Peyton is very proud of his freshman siblings, the twins Grace and Grant McMahan. “I may be closer to Grant, but I watch to make sure the wrong guy is not hanging around Grace,” he related. If he left an impression on anyone while in high school, he hopes that it was he did his best and was a good Christian witness.

dic doctor who can work on sports injuries. The motivator behind the scenes in the family is his mother, Christy. Peyton admits his mother takes care of all his needs and is always encouraging to him. “Mom is the compassionate one who does not mind showing me love,” he said. “Dad has more of the tough love approach and is more strict on me than he is my brother (Grant) and sister (Grace). He told me I had to set a good example for them.” Peyton said his father told him early in life that he expected him to be a leader in whatever he was doing, whether it was in the classroom or playing sports. When asked if he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps as an attorney, he replied that his father was adamant he did not want his son being an attorney because of the stress involved with the job. Peyton’s football career at McNairy Central has been challenging because of injuries and having three head coaches in his four seasons. Plus, he had to learn four different offenses in his four seasons as a quarterback. McMahan suffered a broken back as a freshman and injured a nerve in his throwing arm as a sophomore that even had a negative impact as a junior. He had to play receiver as a junior because of the lack of arm strength from the nerve injury. The senior worked hard over the off-season

rule book was stuck in his back pocket. He had a rule for everything that came up. By the 1960 period, Rock Hill was now the Corinth Rockets, a fine crop of youths like J.B. Darnell, Lynn Nash, Havis Hurley and Nert Emmons led the team. One of the purest hitters I ever saw was Frank Moss “Cat Head” Hudson. He was a college football player. Away games were umpired by Billy Reed Jones and Sausage McEwen. P.S. The story of Corinth baseball from old men like Les Horn (Cotton State League), Red Hudson and Dock Blasingame would make good reading. Also, the story about Don Blasingame and Gene Box would be interesting, and the meeting in the Daily Corinthian office where Jacky Mitchell turned down a St. Louis Cardinals contract being offered by Scout Buddy Lewis. Mitchell wouldn’t sign unless his friends were also signed.

Our View
Give some thought toward volunteering The Commission on the Future of Alcorn County continues its efforts to help facilitate a movement to strengthen the community for long-term growth and development. The commission recently gathered to reflect on progress of the past year with brief reports from each of its task forces in the areas of strengthening families, Excel by 5, dropout prevention and GED recovery, education, workforce development, city and county long-term planning, and infrastructure. Retired banker Terry Cartwright was one of many task force chairs who spoke and he said something pretty profound. Cartwright was speaking about dropout prevention and he noted in many cases the community simply needs more people to get involved. “We have a lot of good organizations that are in place,” he said. “We don’t need another organization necessarily to start a tutoring program or a mentoring program, but we do need volunteers.” Although the commission has been around since 2010, we wondered if there are some people out there who may want to get involved with the commission’s efforts outside of those on task forces and the 18-member steering committee. Take for example the Strengthening Families Task Force, co-chaired by Bobby Capps and Mona Lisa Grady, which have the goal of increasing volunteers. Easom Community Center is home of the Living Healthy Free Medical Clinic and Hot Meals Program Monday through Friday. The Boys & Girls Club has after school tutoring, summer and after school programming, and youth leadership development. Project Attention does the same, plus a breakfast and lunch program during the summer months. The Lighthouse Foundation has many kinds of tutoring, mentoring and leadership programs for youth. It also operates a thrift store to help raise funds. The WIN Job Center, Oasis Medical Center, Pine Vale Children’s Home, S.A.F.E., Crosswind and Living Free Ministries all offer various programs to strengthen families. This is a sample of the need for volunteers to get involved in organizations that are trying to help others. Give some thought to what your strengths may be and think about becoming a volunteer. If each person in our community gave just a little of their time, the end result would make a huge impact.

Hillary Clinton’s joyless ride You can never know what that wacky Hillary Clinton will do next. At the outset of her latest presidential campaign, she decided to drive from New York to Iowa for her first campaign stop. Or, to be more precise, she decided to be driven to Iowa by a Secret Service agent as part of a three-car caravan in keeping with her security needs. For a former first lady and global celebrity, this is traveling light and spontaneous – let’s load up the Secret Service detail and blow this joint. Her campaign referred to her vehicle as “her Scooby van,” evoking the lovable madcap crew of the cartoon series. This could be considered a cute little affectation, until you realize that she campaigned in a van in her 2000 Senate race, and for the same reason: to appear more relatable (the Secret Service reportedly referred to that vehicle, too, as the Scooby Doo van). Hillary Clinton has been reintroducing herself to the public for so long that even her manufactured stabs at authenticity aren’t entirely new. Of course, the image she is trying to live down is the

Hillary of the “Saturday Night Live” sketches, whose calling card is her gratingly Rich i n s i n c e r e Lowry laugh and her cringeNational i n d u c i n g Review blatant calculations. It is her curse as a politician of stamina and determination, but not of natural grace, that her maneuvers to reveal her “real” self always feel like obvious maneuvers. To say that she lacks the light touch is almost as much of an understatement as saying her husband is not a monk. Her announcement video spent more time dwelling on random people pursuing their dreams than it did on Hillary herself, a gesture toward her campaign’s focus on what she calls “everyday Americans.” These everyday Americans presumably are to be distinguished from the “occasional” or “once-a-week” Americans with whom Clinton spends her time in the normal course of things – the highflying donors, dignitaries, celebrities
and operatives who inhabit the upper tier of American politics that she has called home for nearly 25 years. Hillary’s worst moments on her book tour last year were her exaggerations, from the heights of her power, fame and wealth, of her own economic struggles. Negotiating the contrast between her middle-class message and her longtime upper-1-percent lifestyle would challenge an even more gifted politician. Driving is something everyday Americans do, well, every day; Hillary hasn’t driven, not even a Scooby Doo van, in 20 years. On the cusp of her announcement, ELLE magazine did a glamorous spread on Chelsea Clinton wearing Cartier, Bulgari and Tiffany and Co. jewelry, as befits the daughter of a burgeoning American political dynasty. Perhaps Hillary can pull this off. It is easier to be a wealthy champion of the downtrodden as a Democrat. Consider Franklin Delano Roosevelt. But, with enough political hamfistedness, it’s entirely possible to come off as an outof-touch phony. Just ask John Kerry. Hillary is closer to the leaden Kerry or Al
Gore on the spectrum of native political skill than she is to her husband or Barack Obama. As potentially the first woman to be elected president, of course, she has “history” on her side. Kerry and Gore didn’t. But it’s not clear that this will work for her as powerfully as it did for Obama. His history-making first wasn’t just another item on his resume. It reinforced his case that America needed a thoroughgoing break with the politics of the past. Hillary will have many strengths – an electoral map that tilts toward the Democrats, a Republican Party that is still suffering a hangover from the Bush years, prodigious fundraising. But her planned road trip to the White House, even if she manages to get to her destination, will be more a grim forced march than a joyful excursion. Its motto might as well be: Oh, the fun we will pretend to have. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via email: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)
The ‘new’ Hillary Clinton In the video announcing her presidential candidacy, Hillary Clinton says the economic deck “is still stacked in favor of those at the top.” She should know because she has gobbled up a lot of cash for speaking fees and the Clinton Foundation. The video also includes the word “reinventing,” a kind of self-reset button (it didn’t work with the Russians, but she apparently thinks it will work for her). After 67 years on this earth, the last 23 of which have been in the political spotlight, Hillary thinks the public may not know who she is. In fact, we do and this video is an attempt to apply tinted glass to her campaign wagon in hopes of obscuring the real Hillary. People with long memories and a firm grasp of political history, will recall this is straight from the Richard Nixon playbook. “The New Nixon” public relations campaign was an attempt by Nixon supporters to reinvent (that word again) a man whom many saw as cold, remote, dishonest and unknowable. You know, like Hillary Clinton. In his book, “Behind the Front Page,” the late Wash-

Writing in the book “The Republican Establishment,” Broder and Stephen Hess observed: “Those who have puzzled over the essential Nixon character have usually ended by writing about the changes in the man, not the constants. Nixon-watchers tend to see him always evolving from one stage to another. In the course of a long career he has been called the New Nixon, the Old Nixon, and the New, New Nixon...” Wallace Henley, a Nixon staff assistant, responded to my email inquiring about Nixon’s several reinventions: “This reinvention
came from Nixon’s intense pragmatism. I think of the man who won through the ‘Southern strategy’ (partly at least) becoming the champion of school desegregation, the fierce anti-communist becoming the man who went to Communist China, and the presumably freemarket advocate declaring wage and price controls on August 15, 1971, a de facto taking over of the national economy by the federal government. Some of this, to be generous, was principled, but all revealed the element in his character that could reinvent itself as needed. Flexibility is good and essential in policy-making, but it also leads to an easily elastic character that can stretch itself to the Watergate coverup, etc., etc. ... or, in another case, Whitewater acrobatics, Benghazi subterfuge, etc.” According to one report, Hillary’s ethical problems extend back to her days working on the House Judiciary Committee investigating the Watergate scandal. In his 2006 book, “Hillary’s Pursuit of Power,” Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat and a counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who su-

pervised Clinton on the Watergate investigation, wrote that the then-27-year-old Hillary Rodham “engaged in a variety of self-serving unethical practices in violation of House rules.” In his book, Zeifman makes it clear he doesn’t trust either of the Clintons and charges she is ethically unfit to be president. Does the country want to put up with another four or eight years of playing it close to the ethical edge with the “buy one, get two” Clintons? In response to Hillary Clinton’s announcement, a Republican National Committee statement said: “Americans need a president they can trust and voters do not trust Hillary Clinton.” New Quinnipiac University polls released recently bear this out. How ironic that Hillary Clinton is employing Nixon’s “reinvention” tactic. Nixon got away with it for a while, but in the Internet age, a “new” Hillary will quickly be exposed as no different from the “old” Hillary. (Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.)

Truck carrying bees tips over on freeway LYNNWOOD, Wash. — A tractor-trailer carrying millions of honeybees overturned on a highway north of Seattle early Friday, scattering hives and sending white-suited beekeepers scrambling to save as many insects as they could. The truck had just merged onto Interstate 5 around 3:30 a.m. when it tipped on its side, dumping its load of 448 hives, or about 13.7 million bees, Washington State Patrol Trooper Travis Shearer said. The driver, a 36-year-old man from Idaho, was not hurt. The company that owns the insects, Belleville Honey and Beekeeping Supply of Burlington, sent beekeepers to recover as many as possible, and bees covered their protective suits as they worked. The bees became more active as the sun rose and the weather warmed, and firefighters had to spray a layer of foam on some of the boxes, killing the insects for safety. Many of the hives were still along the highway more than seven hours after the accident, when a front-end loader began scooping them up and dumping them into a dump truck, Shearer said. The majority of the hives had been crushed.
Last two Raiders donating medals CINCINNATI — And then there were two. Although most of the “Doolittle Tokyo Raiders” beat long odds 73 years ago, surviving anti-aircraft fire, crashed planes and vengeful Japanese soldiers, time has been taking its own toll. Since their 70th anniversary reunion at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, three more Raiders
have died, two of them this year. Retired Lt. Col. Richard “Dick” Cole, 99, and Staff Sgt. David Thatcher, 93, are the last of the original 80 crew men from the 16 B-25 bombers that attacked Japan, boosting American morale and stunning Japan less than five months after its attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II. They returned to the museum in Ohio for a Saturday event ceremony to present the Raiders’ Congressional Gold Medal for display. “It just happens that way, I guess,” Thatcher, of Missoula, Montana, said of being one of the last survivors. “Something’s just got to give,” said Cole, a Dayton native who lives in Comfort, Texas. The museum’s director, retired Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson, accepted the medal, the highest honor Congress can give a civilian, for them in Washington on Wednesday.
Student ‘opt-out’ movement grows ATLANTA — Thousands of students are opting out of new standardized tests aligned to the Common Core standards, defying the latest attempt by states to improve academic performance. This “opt-out” movement remains scattered but is growing fast in some parts of the country. Some superintendents in New York are reporting that 60 percent or even 70 percent of their students are refusing to sit for the exams. Some lawmakers, sensing a tipping point, are backing the parents and teachers who complain about standardized testing. Resistance could be costly: If fewer than 95 percent of a district’s students participate in tests aligned with Common Core standards,

federal money could be withheld, although the U.S. Department of Education said that hasn’t happened. “It is a theoretical club administrators have used to coerce participation, but a club that is increasingly seen as a hollow threat,” said Bob Schaeffer with the National Center for Fair & Open Testing, which seeks to limit standardized testing.

2 accused of threats at school in Oxford OXFORD — Two juveniles are facing a Tuesday youth court hearing on charges arising from alleged threats made several days ago at Oxford Middle School. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that Oxford police began investigating last Tuesday after a school resource officer learned of threats against the school, students and staff. A Youth Court Judge on Friday signed an order of detention for conspiracy to commit murder. Oxford Police Maj. Jeff McCutchen said two juveniles were picked up at their homes and were transported to the Alcorn County Juvenile Detention Facility in Corinth. They will be held there until their Youth Court hearing in Oxford on Tuesday.
Obama gets tough on GOP opponents WASHINGTON — Diplomacy is out, blunt talk is in as President Barack Obama and his White House team single out Republican lawmakers by name for criticism over their words and actions on Iran, Cabinet nominations and climate change. Even amid glimmers of bipartisanship in Washington, the White House approach amounts to this: when you can’t join ‘em, beat ‘em. In the past week, the president and his spokesman have targeted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and GOP Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Charles Grassley of Iowa for their words and actions on the Iran nuclear deal and the delayed confirmation of attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch. “Enough. Enough!” Obama declared Friday, delivering a testy lecture to Senate Republicans over the long wait Lynch has faced since he nominated her in early November. “This is embarrassing, a process like this.” This is a White House unleashed, dispensing with niceties for the kind of blunt talk some of Obama’s allies have been demanding for some time. A president who once ran on the promise of changing the tone in the capital now seems to have fully embraced its political combat.
Reservoir boaters user fee approved JACKSON — A plan to collect a user fee from boaters who use Ross Barnett Reservoir has been approved. The Pear River Valley Water Supply District Board of Directors approved the plan Thursday night. Board officials told The Clarion-Ledger that the fee could generate about $250,000 to $300,000 each year. The funds would go toward ramp improvements, navigation aid improvements, shore maintenance and similar projects. When possible, district officials said projects would be coordinated with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Parks and Fisheries to receive matching federal funds. Boaters will have the option of a three-year, one-year or 10-day permit. Decals will be required on the bow of the vessel. Fees will vary based on the size of the

Police: Tossed drugs blow back into car
Deadline for school funding initiative set
BILOXI — Harrison County authorities say a felon who was already on house arrest after a drug conviction is facing more charges after he allegedly left his house in a car and tried to dispose of two grams of crack cocaine. The Sun-Herald reports that the suspect had been the subject of an undercover operation before he was arrested Wednesday at a traffic stop. He allegedly tossed something out of his car prior to the arrest. But it blew back into the car. Harrison Country Sheriff’s Lt. Ryan Hearn said it was crack cocaine. Police said 38-yearold Willie Eugene Russell was booked with of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and sale of crack cocaine. Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain set bonds totaling $20,000.
JACKSON — Attorneys have until next week to submit arguments in a legal dispute about school funding initiatives on the November ballot. The Mississippi Supreme Court on Friday set an April 24 deadline for attorneys to file briefs about whether justices should hear an appeal from legislative leaders. The citizen-led Initiative 42 would require lawmakers to fund “an adequate and efficient system of free public schools,” and it provides that people could appeal to court if funding falls short. The Republican-led Legislature put an alternative, Initiative 42-A, on the ballot. It originally said lawmakers must fund “an effective system of free public schools.” On April 2, Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd rewrote the title of 42-A to say the Legislature should fund “effective public schools” but to specify there would be no court appeal if lawmakers don’t fulfill the financial obligation. A ballot title is the short description of an initiative that people will see when they vote. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to reject Kidd’s decision. They said Kidd overstepped his constitutional authority by rewriting the attorney general’s work.
Governor rappels down casino hotel BILOXI — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant rappelled down the side of his state’s tallest building on a windy day to help raise money for charity. The Sun Herald reports that Bryant was one of several people who strapped into safety harnesses Friday to scale down the outside of the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino. They started on the 27th floor and rappelled 278 feet down the hotel that overlooks the Mississippi Sound. The Republican governor’s reaction after he was finished? “Wow.

Single College Board defended BY JEFF AMY
“The advantage of having a system with a strong chief executive lets the board focus on strategic issues, policy and oversight.”
Associated Press
JACKSON — For Aubrey Patterson, it’s legacy time. His picture has already been taken down off the wall of the room where the College Board meets, and his announcement Friday that the board has chosen Glenn Boyce as the state’s next higher education commissioner could be Patterson’s last official act as a member of the College Board. The term of the retired Tupelo banker ends next month. And one of the biggest legacies that Patterson and three other departing board members — Ed Blakeslee of Gulfport, Bob Owens of Terry and Robin Robinson of Laurel — has been the increasing primacy of the commissioner over the individual presidents. Board members made that policy change in 2005 at the recommendation of Tom Meredith, and then hired him to take over the augmented commissioner post. But in many ways it was Hank Bounds, who took the reins in 2009, who fully filled out those
Aubrey Patterson increased powers. It’s that work that is threatened by the aftermath of the board’s decision to not renew University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones, which has produced proposals that would reduce the power of the board and commissioner over individual presidents. “The advantage of having a system with a strong chief executive lets the board focus on strategic issues, policy and oversight,” Patterson the outgoing board president, said Friday. “Mississippi cannot afford a loose confederation of separately governed institutions.” Incoming Board President Alan Perry of Jackson also defending the wisdom of the current setup Thursday as he saluted
the departing trustees. He said the system had brought many benefits, like an energy efficiency program that’s saved $70 million across the eight campuses, a better agreement to ensure community college credits transfer to universities, and a new system to distribute state money to universities. “This is a good group and a good system and a good organization,” Perry said, “and it is better than it was.” Supporters of Jones, though, want to change or even dissolve the current structure. Jones, in announcing that he was stepping down on April 2, endorsed a call for Ole Miss to have its own board. “Certainly my job would have been easier
for past several years if the university had had its own separate governing board,” he said. Sen. Gray Tollison, ROxford, is among those who picked up the call. He said Friday that the state’s universities have grown too large and complex for one group since the board was created more than 70 years ago. He prefers to create individual boards that would take some authority including hiring and firing presidents, but said he believes the current trustees would retain “75 percent” of their current duties. It won’t be easy to amend the state Constitution to make the change, which requires supermajority votes in both houses of the Legislature, followed by a vote of the people. “I recognize that it’s an uphill battle trying to get two-thirds votes,” Tollison said. Patterson, though said it the current structure will “preserve a system that’s unified and yet recognizes the different missions of the institutions it governs.”
Lawmakers approve local taxes, projects Associated Press
JACKSON — That shrimp po’ boy in Pascagoula or that hotel room in Houston will cost a bit extra because of local tourism taxes that legislators approved for those cities — as they did for many other communities around the state. Tourism taxes were among the many issues that legislators approved as “local and private” bills during the 2015 session. Unlike general bills that affect the entire state, local and private bills give legislators a chance to authorize taxes, donations or other issues that affect only one community. State law requires local governments to seek approval from the state for certain financial matters, and legislators typically pass dozens of local and private bills a year, usually without controversy. This year, for example, they voted to let Monroe
County establish a beautification committee. They said Tallahatchie County can help the city of Charleston build and equip a recreation center. They voted to let Lauderdale County pay for a jail ministry program from money that inmates, or their families, pay to use a telephone service. After cities and counties receive legislative permission to set a tourism tax, they typically have to return to the Capitol every few years to get permission to keep the tax. Several sought and received such permission this year, and other cities and counties will be back to request extensions of the tax in other years. Here are city tourism taxes passed by the House and Senate during the 2015 session. Most have been signed into law by the governor, and one has a Monday deadline for his decision:
■ Baldwyn: Senate Bill 2835 extends a 2 percent tourism tax on hotels, motels and restaurants. ■ Grenada: House Bill 1425 extends a 1 percent tourism tax on hotels, motels and restaurants. ■ Houston: Senate Bill 2912 creates a tourism tax of up to 1 percent hotels, motels and restaurants ■ Jackson: Senate Bill 2910 extends a 1 percent tourism tax on hotels, motels and restaurants. ■ Pascagoula: Senate Bill 2904 extends a 2 percent tourism tax on restaurants. ■ Starkville: House Bill 1664 extends a 2 percent tourism tax on restaurants. ■ Vicksburg: Senate Bill 2926 would create a 2 percent tourism tax on hotels, motels and restaurants. The governor has until Monday to sign or veto it. Here are county tourism taxes approved by

Bipartisanship shows itself on Capitol Hill Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Suddenly, bipartisanship has broken out on Capitol Hill. On Iran, Medicare, education and trade, Republicans and Democrats have come together to make deals, and that’s something rarely seen lately. “It’s great,” Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said after the Senate followed the House’s lead this past week in overwhelmingly passing a bill overhauling the Medicare payment system for doctors. “There’s just a huge pent-up demand to actually get something done, on both sides.” The same day as the Medicare vote, the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee unanimously approved legislation empowering Congress to review and possibly reject an emerging Iran nuclear pact. Those breakthroughs were followed two days later by unanimous approval of a rewrite of the No Child Left Behind education law in the Senate’s education committee, and the announcement of a long-sought bipartisan deal allowing President Barack Obama to negotiate trade accords for Congress’ review. Congress-watchers are applauding. “Democracy had a pretty good week, and it’s been a long time,” said Jason Grumet, president of the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Stress relief: Laughing has many benefits Laughter is a wonderful stress reducing and coping strategy. It provides exceptional mental and physical benefits. Some studies have shown that laughter and exercise have Bryan similar adGolden vantages. H e r e just Dare to Live are Without Limits some of the many ways laughter is beneficial. Laughter lowers blood pressure and reduces stress hormones. Cardiac health is improved. Your immune system is boosted. Laughing releases endorphins which ease pain and provide a good overall feeling.
Laughter increases circulation and enriches your oxygen intake while stimulating your lungs and muscles. Laughing also enhances relaxation along with the quality of sleep. Laughter boosts your sense of well-being while improving your attitude, mood, and outlook. Laughing makes it easier to connect with others. It makes it easier to deal with difficult situations. Not only does laughter provide all of these great benefits, there are no negative side effects. In as much as laughing has such great results, too many people sulk through life without laughing or even smiling. These individuals don’t spend enough time laughing or don’t laugh at all.
Here are some suggestions for adding more laughter to your life. Start with spending time with happy people who have a good sense of humor. They are fun to be around and provide a good example. Whenever possible, limit your exposure to negative influences. Spending your precious time with activities, people, or information that results in your feeling bad inhibits your ability to laugh. Be discriminating about how you utilize your time. Stop worrying. Don’t worry about your past or your future. Don’t worry about what other people say, think or do. It’s a lot of activity that doesn’t get you anywhere. Do what you can and then let it go.
When you stop worrying you have more time to appreciate all that is good in your life. In turn you will laugh more and feel better. Have more fun. Lighten up. Don’t take everything so seriously. Let stress roll off your back. Take care of yourself. Acting like a martyr doesn’t help you or anyone else. When possible, eliminate activities you don’t like. Look for the humor that is all around. Think funny thoughts. Read or watch things that make you laugh. Tell jokes or listen to jokes. Hang around funny people. See funny movies. Watch comedies. Fixate on the good rather than the bad. Smile. You have total control of your thoughts. Adjust your outlook to be posi-
tive. Develop an attitude of gratitude. Maintaining an upbeat perspective is essential for your happiness. Keep things in perspective. Don’t look for things to become upset over. Instead, search for things to be happy about. Ask yourself, will this matter in five years? If not, it shouldn’t matter now. You will make better decisions when you are not stressed. Since laughter reduces stress, it is essential to sound decision making. Your perception is your reality. Laughter impacts your perception. If you take life too seriously, you won’t think anything is funny. This mindset creates a negative attitude which in turn attracts those circumstances you don’t want. As a result,
you find yourself caught up in an undesirable cycle. Laughter improves the quality of every aspect of your life. Happiness leads to success, not vice versa. Unhappy people who become successful typically remain unhappy. Because laughter is determined by your thoughts, it’s up to you how much you laugh. Since laughter gives you a better, happier, healthier, and less stressful life, if you are not laughing, what are you waiting for? Stop making excuses and start finding humor.

Book explores obsession with weight Dad gets 15 years in death of infant BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“Body of Truth� by Harriet Brown c.2015, DaCapo LifeLong $25.99 / $32.50 Canada 274 pages Your summer clothes don’t fit this year. You’ll admit that you weren’t paying attention: too many holiday cookies, too little New Years’ resolving. The pounds crept up and you need to lose them before they multiply again. It’s for your health and well-being, right? Or maybe not. In the new book “Body of Truth� by Harriet Brown, you’ll see that everything you thought you knew about weight may be a big fat lie. Some twenty-five years ago on a “sticky summer evening,� Harriet Brown sat in a therapist’s chair, sobbing about her weight. Once, she’d been thin but “three pregnancies and a whole lot of living� later, she couldn’t take off the pounds. She was absolutely stunned when the therapist asked if she could learn to be okay with the body she had. She “couldn’t even consider the possibility� that hav-
ing a few extra pounds wasn’t such a bad thing. Even the language we use for weight has changed in the past few years: what was once chubby or husky is now “obese� or “overweight,� words that carry a meaner stigma. Yes, as a society, we’ve gained weight but our eating habits and our sedentary lives are not solely to blame. There are, says Brown, several reasons for weight gain, one of which is that dieting is generally detrimental. Statistically speaking, just five percent of dieters keep the weight off, long-term; the other 95 percent of calorie-counters usually gain back any weight lost, and then 662-594-3011

some. We understand that yo-yo dieting is unhealthy, but we may not know that some researchers believe there’s no increased risk of death due to extra weight. Even so, says Brown, physicians sometimes admit to having “weight bias,� and treat (or don’t treat) patients accordingly. But our obsession with weight goes much deeper than just physical effects. Negative social pressure can affect our mental health, which suffers when we loathe our bodies and indulge in “fat talk.� What’s worse is that our emphasis on weight adversely affects future generations: some pediatricians recommend that infants be put on diets and one study found three-year-old children who were “unhappy with their bodies.� Says Brown, “Something is definitely wrong with this picture.� Food for thought. No pun intended, but that’s
what you’ll find in “Body of Truth.â€? You’ll also find a good amount of controversy. For readers who struggle with their weight, there’s a certain Ahhhhhfeeling of freedom that comes with author Harriet Brown’s urging for acceptance. It’s hard not to see that our attitudes about being overweight have gone overboard, and it’s equally hard to argue with the experts and research she cites. Definitely, this could cause weight-watching readers’ heads to spin – but Brown is quick to reassure the flummoxed: “There’s no one-size-fitsall approach‌â€? when it comes to weight or loss thereof. Overall, I really liked this book – in part, because it provides more balance in a world where new diets come out seemingly every day. If you’ve grown weary of that, then read “Body of Truth.â€? You may have nothing to lose.

VICKSBURG — A Vicksburg father has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the shaking death of his infant son. Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick sentenced 25-yearold Jamaro South during a hearing on Thursday. The Vicksburg Post reports that the victim was 6-monthold Jamaro Carter Jr., who died in 2013. South pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder. State law requires that a sentence of at least 20 years be given for second-degree murder, but also allows a judge to suspend a portion of the sentence. Patrick told South during the hearing that he does not believe South intended to kill the child. Defense Attorney Chris Green asked Patrick to consider the death as manslaughter rather than a murder while considering sentencing. “We think the facts of this crime fit the constraints of manslaughter, but it also fits the confines of second-degree murder,� Green said. District Attorney Ricky Smith disagreed. “This child had two detached retinas. This child had subdural hematomas,� Smith said. “This was not a brief loss of thought process by the defendant. This is in no way in nature manslaughter.� Smith and police have said South was alone with his infant son Dec. 14, 2013, when the boy was injured and later died of head injuries. The child’s mother has not made any statements in the case. Patrick said during the sentencing that he received a letter from her supporting South but the letter was not read publicly.

WikiLeaks creates Sony documents archive MAE ANDERSON AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK — Sony’s hacking problems aren’t over yet. Whistleblower site WikiLeaks on Thursday put hundreds of thousands of emails and documents from last year’s crippling cyberattack against Sony Pictures Entertainment into a search-
able online archive. It’s the latest blow for the entertainment and technology company struggling to get past the attack, which the company estimates caused millions in damage. The website founded by Julian Assange said that its database includes more than 170,000 emails from Sony Pictures and

a subsidiary, plus more than 30,000 other documents. Sony Pictures blasted WikiLeaks for creating the archive, saying the website was helping the hackers disseminate stolen information. “We vehemently disagree with WikiLeaks’ assertion that this material belongs in the public domain,� the company said in a statement. But Assange said the documents should be available to the public. Although they had been online, it was in a compressed format that wasn’t easily searchable. “This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation,� Assange said. “It is newsworthy and at the center of a geo-political conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there.� The WikiLeaks site lets users find emails, documents or an entire cache of files through searches using keywords, people who sent or received emails and types of files. The site made a name
for itself in 2010 when it began publishing diplomatic cables leaked by Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Bradley Manning. Assange is currently battling a detention order in Sweden, where he is wanted by prosecutors in an investigation of alleged sex crimes. He has avoided being extradited to Sweden by taking shelter in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012. Sony Pictures’ troubles began last December after it suffered an extensive hacking attack and release of confidential emails ahead of its release of “The Interview,� a comedy that centers around the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. A group calling itself Guardians of the Peace took credit for the attack, and U.S. intelligence officials said the group was linked to North Korea, but no official link has been made. The attack exposed tens of thousands of sensitive documents, including studio financial records, employment files and emails between Sony executives.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Editor Mark Boehler got his boots dirty Saturday at the Muddy Warrior Run. See his photos and Zack Steen’s followup story on Tuesday about how much money was raised for a very worthy cause at Corinth Elementary School.
Friend regrets offer to room with woman getting divorce DEAR ABBY: My best friend is going through a divorce and has moved back in with her parents, who are driving her crazy. She doesn’t have enough money to live on her own, so I offered to have her move in with me. The more I think about it, the more I regret having said it. I enjoy living by myself. Also, she wants us Abigail to move to Van Buren an area of the city that Dear Abby I don’t care to live in. In addition, she has a male friend who is also going through a divorce and I dislike him. They spend a lot of time together, and I don’t want to be around him. I’m having second thoughts, but she’s desperate to get out of her parents’ home. I feel like a terrible friend. Should I suck it up and be there for her? If not, how do I break it to her that I like being her friend, but don’t want to be her roommate when she’s counting on me to get her out of a difficult situation? — HAVING MISGIVINGS IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HAVING MISGIVINGS: It is not your responsibility to
help your friend escape from her parents. That responsibility should be hers. Because you like living where you do, tell her that “on second thought,” you don’t think moving someplace else would be a good idea for YOU. The last thing you need is a roommate who will be entertaining someone you dislike, because you will have no privacy, a lot of anxiety and a lease you won’t be able to break that guarantees you have to put up with it for a year. For your own sake, speak up and don’t allow her to guilt you into doing something you know you’ll regret. DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I are in a long-distance military relationship. We have discussed eloping to Las Vegas so I can move with him. My mother isn’t enthusiastic about it. She would like to be there for my wedding, but my fiance comes from a large family. Eloping would be our way of not excluding anyone. I feel guilty for wanting this to be just the two of us. Should I plan a small wedding for my mother’s sake, or have a reception when we get back from Las Vegas? — AMBIVALENT IN TEXAS DEAR AMBIVALENT: Why not do both? Explain to your
parents — and your fiance’s — that you would like to be married quickly and are thinking of doing it in Las Vegas. Offer them the opportunity to meet you there. Then have a reception for the extended family later, after you both return. DEAR ABBY: I bring a hostess gift when I’m invited to someone’s home for a dinner or a party. If it’s a birthday party or shower, I bring a gift for the honoree. Should I bring one to a “purchase party,” where a company rep sells products, kitchen gadgets or clothing? The hostess provides her home and food, and she usually receives thank-you gifts in the form of products from the company rep, based on how much the guests purchase. Is it OK to show up emptyhanded, knowing that I’ll be opening my wallet to purchase something at the end of the party? — UNSURE GUEST DEAR UNSURE: Absolutely. When invited to an event the purpose of which is to get you to buy something, your presence is present enough! 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). The feature of the day is that beautiful moment when the music in your head synchronizes with the music in the speakers, and you’re definitely in your groove. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). White lies have a way of turning into bald-faced lies, and then the lines get so blurred that it’s hard to remember what the truth of the matter really was. It’s an incentive to find the kind side of the truth. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Express yourself. Most people cannot successfully fake interest for very long. That’s why moments of genuine interest, like the ones you’ll cherish today, are so special. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The current events you keep up with, both frivolous and important, will connect you with people worth knowing. The newspaper is your best friend now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s
an air of distinction around you that comes from self-knowledge. Because you recognize your strengths and limitations, you have command over your own nature. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When they try hard to get your attention, you like it. Why shouldn’t it be this way? You’re worthy of an effort. But what they decide to do to make you look matters most. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The only thing standing between you and total peace is an expert. The solution is simple: Hire someone to do what you can’t do on your own. If your hire an Aries or a Virgo, all the better. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know who you are and what you want. Self-possession protects you from vanity, insecurity and need. It also makes you attractive. Expect admirers and deal with them gently. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). People love nothing more than to be proved right. This is perhaps because so few grant anyone the privilege. If you do so today, another will consider you a rare joy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes you feel like an ordinary person doing extraordinary things, and other times — like today — you feel like an extraordinary person doing ordinary things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To whom much is given, more is given. That’s why you should not be afraid to ask for what you want. Maybe it’s extravagant for the circumstances, or maybe the one who thinks that just isn’t thinking big enough. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your social pursuits will change the trajectory of your days. Narrow interests have broadening power. Connecting about something small will bond you big time with a new friend.

Prescott sharp in MSU spring game BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer
STARKVILLE — Dak Prescott is doing nothing to temper the massive expectations for his final college season. The Mississippi State quarterback completed 20 of 29 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns Saturday during the Bulldogs’ spring game, spreading the ball around the field with the poise expected from a senior who’s already among the school’s leaders in just about every passing category. Now Mississippi State is trying to make sure the rest of the roster is capable of supporting him.
The early returns look promising: De’Runnya Wilson caught five passes for 92 yards and a touchdown, and the Bulldogs’ rebuilt offensive line — which will have at least three new starters next season — usually gave the quarterbacks enough time to read the field and make throws. That’s good news for a program trying to improve on a breakout season that included a 10-3 record and five weeks as the top-ranked team in the country. “The expectations around the program are very, very high,” coach Dan Mullen said. “This team expects to compete for an SEC championship. There’s not a guy in the
program who doesn’t think that’s going to happen.” Prescott is a major reason for that confidence. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound junior emerged as a Heisman Trophy contender midway through last season before fading down the stretch. He threw for 3,449 yards and 27 touchdowns while also running for 986 yards and 14 TDs. He considered turning professional before returning to Starkville for his senior season. He’ll be guiding a fairly inexperienced team that lost several key players on both sides of the ball. “I came in each and every day (this spring) with
the mindset to get better and make sure I allowed our team the chance to get better and reach their potential,” Prescott said. Restocking the defense: Mississippi State lost a few of its best defensive players, including linebacker Benardrick McKinney and defensive end Preston Smith, who expect to hear their name called later this month in the NFL draft. But the Bulldogs do bring back several experienced players. They’ll just be counted on to have a bigger role. Defensive lineman A.J. Jefferson, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound Please see MSU | 11A

Warriors beat Pelicans 106-99 in Game 1 Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry scored 34 points with an MVP-worthy performance, and the Golden State Warriors went up big before holding off the New Orleans Pelicans 106-99 in their playoff opener Saturday. Klay Thompson added 21 points, and Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut dominated down low as the Warriors looked every bit like the NBA’s top seed — at least for three quarters. They smothered Anthony Davis and the Pelicans with the league’s best defense, thrilling a gold shirt-wearing sellout crowd of 19,596 that rocked and roared all afternoon.

Corinth eying playoff spot
Corinth ace Quade Reaves gets loose before taking the hill in action earlier this season. The Warriors, 8-8 heading into Saturday, face a big series against Tishomingo County this week. Corinth is 5-3 in Division 1-4A, currently holding the third and final playoff spot in the six-team league.
Donaldson’s homer lifts Blue Jays over Braves Associated Press
TORONTO — After waiting 11 games for his first home run with Toronto, Josh Donaldson is quickly making up for lost time. Donaldson went deep for the third time in two days, belting a leadoff shot in the 10th inning that lifted the Blue Jays to a 6-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. It was the fourth gameending homer of Donaldson’s career.
“As a baseball player, as any competitor, you enjoy moments where you can win the game for your team,” he said. Donaldson’s drive into the second deck in left was his third hit of the afternoon. The slugger, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Oakland, had two homers in Friday night’s 8-7 loss to Atlanta. Being in the spotlight is nothing new for Donaldson, who hit 29 homers and made the All-Star team last year. But he feels any of his new
teammates could have come up with the big hit against the Braves. “I think what’s great about this lineup is it can be anybody any given day,” he said. “We have a lot of guys in here that are very capable of shouldering the load and today it was just my turn.” Danny Valencia went 4 for 4 for Toronto, and Jose Bautista connected for his third homer. Valencia matched his career high for hits, accomplished three other times.
In the Blue Jays’ 12th game of the season, particularly after losing three of four in the opening series at home against Tampa Bay, Toronto manager John Gibbons felt this kind of win was coming. “We’ve had some opportunities this year at home to maybe make a run late, walk-off type thing,” he said. “We’ve been in a position to do it, but just couldn’t come through with it. So we defiPlease see BRAVES | 11A
Browns quarterback Manziel says he ‘let down’ fans BY TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND — Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel has expressed remorse and asked for privacy following a 10-week stay in rehab. In his first public comments since he entered a treatment facility on Jan. 28, Manziel apologized to the Browns and their fans and acknowledged he has a long way to go to win back people’s respect. “I owe private apologies to a
lot of people that I disappointed but a very public one to the Browns organization and the fans that I let down,” Manziel said in the statement released Friday by the Browns. “I take full responsibility for my actions and it’s my intention to work very hard to regain everyone’s trust and respect. I understand that will take time and will only happen through what I do and not what I say.” Manziel thanked doctors and staff at Caron, a Pennsyl-
vania facility which specializes in the treatment of drugs and alcohol. Manziel was discharged on April 11 and has not publicly disclosed what he sought treatment for. Manziel was allowed to leave the facility during his stay and he played golf in Louisiana with his father and visited patients in a hospital as part of his program. Since leaving Caron, he has attended a Texas Rangers game followed by a visit to see the
Dallas Mavericks play. Manziel, who earned his “Johnny Football” nickname while winning the Heisman Trophy as a freshman at Texas A&M, intends to attend Cleveland’s offseason practices next week. The 23-year-old knows there will be continued interest in his comeback. “Anyone who has a friend or family member that’s been through things like this knows Please see MANZIEL | 11A
Merritt maintains edge through 3 rounds at RBC Heritage BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Troy Merritt felt the fear Saturday he experienced during his successful amateur career. The third-round leader at the RBC Heritage expects another healthy dose Sunday. Merritt shot a 2-under 69 to take a three-stroke lead over defending champion Matt Kuchar, Brendon Todd and Kevin Kisner. Jim Furyk, No.
10 in the world, was four shots behind, with Masters champ Jordan Spieth another stroke back and eager to win another jacket — this one tartan. “I was starting to feel the fear and being afraid, like I would when I was an amateur,” Merritt said. “It’s not a bad fear; it’s the fear of being caught. And I think it’s worked for me in the past. “ Merritt finished at 14-under 199, two off the 54-hole scoring record set by Justin
Leonard in his 2002 victory. Todd made the big move with a 63, the day’s lowest round. Kisner shot 67, and Kuchar 68. Furyk led a group another stroke behind after a 68, with Spieth five shots back, also following a 68. Brice Garnett and Branden Grace were tied with Furyk in fifth. Garnett shot 65, and Grace 66. Bo Van Pelt was 9 under along with Spieth after a 67.

nitely needed that.” Donaldson connected on the second pitch from rookie Sugar Ray Marimon (0-1), handing Atlanta its first road loss of the season. Brett Cecil (1-1) picked up the win after working a scoreless 10th. “They swing the bat, you know and you make a mistake or put the ball over the plate and they hit the ball out of the ballpark,” Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “Today we didn’t have enough runs where we could absorb that.” Down 4-0 in the seventh inning after home runs by Freddie Freeman and A.J. Pierzynski, the Blue Jays rallied against Alex Wood. Bautista belted a tworun shot off Jim Johnson in the eighth, giving Toronto a 5-4 lead, but Kelly Johnson hit a leadoff drive in the ninth for Atlanta. R.A. Dickey, who is still waiting for his first win
of the season after three starts, struggled with his control at times and was pulled after the seventh inning. The knuckleballer was charged with four runs and four hits with four walks. “You just try to fight with what you’ve got,” he said.” It’s been frustrating but at the same time I can’t be too displeased with some of the results I’ve been having.” Trainer’s room Blue Jays: OF Michael Saunders (hamstring) was expected to resume his rehab assignment for Single-A Dunedin. Gibbons said the earliest he could rejoin the Blue Jays is next weekend in Tampa Bay. Up next Braves RHP Shelby Miller (1-0) faces Daniel Norris (1-0) on Sunday. In his second career start in Toronto, Miller will be hoping to replicate last year’s success, when he tossed a three-hit shutout as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals.

junior, is one. He might have had the most impressive play of Saturday, running over an offensive lineman before tackling running back Dontavian Lee in the backfield. QB of the future?: Quarterback Nick Fitzgerald had a good day Saturday, completing 20 of 30 passes for 255 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. The redshirt freshman is battling Damian Williams for the No. 2 job next season. Williams was limited throughout most of spring practice because of injuries and didn’t play Saturday. Running back race: Mississippi State has several candidates to re-
place Josh Robinson at running back. Robinson left school a year early after running for a teamhigh 1,203 yards last season. Lee led the Bulldogs with 53 yards rushing Saturday. Aeris Williams added 31 yards while Ashton Shumpert had 14. Dixon catches the TD: In what has become a spring game tradition, former Mississippi State running back Anthony Dixon ran onto the field in the second half and caught a 59-yard touchdown pass from Fitzgerald. Dixon played at Mississippi State from 200609, running for nearly 4,000 career yards. He’s entering his sixth year in the NFL and now plays for the Buffalo Bills.

it’s an ongoing process,” Manziel said. “I’m going to continue to ask folks to try to respect my privacy as I determine to what degree I am comfortable talking about a subject which I consider very personal.” Manziel had a rough rookie season in 2014 after he was drafted with the No. 22 overall pick by the Browns. Manziel spent most of it as the team’s backup before making two starts and playing poorly. He was injured in Cleveland’s game at Carolina, then fined after he missed a
treatment. Following the season, Manziel acknowledged he didn’t take his job as seriously as he needed to, and vowed to work harder in the offseason. He checked into rehab less than a month later. The Browns have remained supportive during his ordeal. Owner Jimmy Haslam and coach Mike Pettine have indicated Manziel will have a chance to win the starting job in training camp, but Manziel is not guaranteed anything. The Browns signed 11year veteran quarterback Josh McCown as a free agent.

RBC CONTINUED FROM 10A
and built a four-shot lead Friday with his course-record tying 61 at Harbour Town Golf Links. He lost nearly all of that on the front nine Saturday before regrouping. Merritt explained how that fear calms him and reminds him not to press and take chances to keep the edge. “You go out there, play solid golf, take care of your business and you see how the other guy is doing,” he said. That worked in the third round after Merritt put a ball in the water on the par-4 eighth hole — “It was a spectacular splash,” he said — leading to a double bogey and reducing his lead to a stroke. That’s when Merritt regrouped and responded, making a birdie on
the ninth to regain his rhythm. “I was going to try and get the momentum back,” he said. “And I was able to do that.” Spieth thrilled the gallery with his bounce-back 62 on Friday and it was a full house around the first tee when the 21-year-old Texan got started. But Spieth played more like he did in Thursday’s opening 74 than in the second round, fighting to put shots close and make putts on the way to his 68. Still, it was Spieth’s 18th time breaking par in his past 19 rounds, a monthlong run of success that included the Valspar Championship title, seconds at Texas and Houston and that record-tying Masters win from last week where he matched Tiger Woods’ mark of 18-under from 1997.

Father, son team enjoys photography together BY THOMAS GRANING For the Daily Corinthian
When Keith and Peyton Jackson walked into Jack’s restaurant in Corinth one morning for breakfast, they were shocked by what they saw on a fellow customer’s cell phone. “I have no idea who this woman was,” Keith said. “But she was looking at her phone, looking at a picture. And it was my picture on her phone.” But it wasn’t a photo of Keith Jackson. It was a photo by Keith Jackson. “I had no idea who she was, but she was sitting there looking at my picture I had posted the day before.” Suddenly, Jackson realized that what had been a pleasant hobby had become something much more. Keith and Peyton, the father-son photography duo, have been a staple on the sidelines of local sporting events for just over two years. Peyton, 14, is in the ninth grade at Biggersville High School. Just for fun, they take pictures at the games – football, basketball, softball, you name it - and post them on Facebook for anyone to copy free of charge. And there is no shortage of proud parents willing to do just that. Jackson keeps seeing his photographs pop up all over Alcorn County and the Crossroads area. Jackson began taking pictures while serving in the U.S. Navy in the Gulf War. When he married his wife Holley in 1995, he wasn’t happy with the shot taken by their wedding photographer. “I wasn’t pleased with the pictures,” Jackson said. “I thought I could do a better job.” So Jackson started trying to do just that. He began shooting weddings and portraits. But with the cost of the new digital cameras and too much work, he gave up his hobby and side business to focus on family. After a few years and a shift change at his job at Caterpillar, Jackson picked photography back up as a hobby. It was then that the younger Jackson got interested in his father’s work. And it wasn’t just curiosity. “It was just something we could do together because the Internet was being crazy,” Peyton said of taking photos with his dad. “It just started getting fun going to the games and taking pictures. And everybody was telling me how good of a job I did and how they liked the pictures.” For Keith, it’s a thrill to have his son helping out. “Honestly, I wouldn’t be doing it as much as I’m doing it if it weren’t for (Peyton),” Keith said. “I enjoy the time spent with him. The most important thing in my life is him sitting right there next to me. And if he didn’t want to do it, I know I wouldn’t be doing it as much as I have.” In fact, Keith thinks Peyton is quickly becoming the better photographer. “(Peyton) is better at catching the pictures than I am,” Keith said. “He’s got some real good shots that I wish I could get. I’m going to say that with sports, he’s a better photographer.” “He always seem to get those pictures at the right moment,” Keith said. “I get the one where it’s about a half second after the action. I say it’s because of his video game experience.” Peyton prefers sporting

Father and son photography team Keith and Peyton Jackson spends a lot of time together shooting pictures. They hold a couple of award-winning photographs -- Keith of a fireworks show over the Washington Monument and Peyton of Biggersville football players tackling an Alcorn Central player. Keith likes night photography and Peyton loves sports action. events to posed portraits. “I like the action more than the setting up flashes,” Peyton said. “It’s kind of fun to go in there and meet new people and talk with them.” He had a football photo published in the Daily Corinthian at the age of 14. “It felt exciting just to know they picked your picture over someone else’s to be in the newspaper,” Peyton said. Keith decided to enter one of Peyton’s football photographs, showing an Alcorn Central player fighting off almost an entire Biggersville team, in the Crossroads Museum Photo Contest. “They wouldn’t let me put it in the lower grade students because it was too good for the lower grade,” Peyton said. “So it had to go in the one above it.” “(The organizer) didn’t think it would be fair to the other kids,” Keith added. Keith tries hard to make each photo unique. “What I like doing is setting up the lights in different ways and making something different,” Keith said. “I like to get people’s attention when they see (the photos).” Some of his favorite work, outside of the portraits and sports action, is his photographs of longexposure light painting using a glow stick or a burning piece of steel wool. He also loves to create unique designs and compositions in Photoshop, including a basketball superimposed on a screaming face. Not only is photography a good bonding experience for the Jacksons, it is also a way to give back to the community. They primarily focus on smaller schools since photographers rarely shoot there. “(The small schools) are the ones that don’t have anybody there,” Keith said. “Thirty years from now, when I’m dead and gone, there may be a few pictures out there with my name still on them.” The Jacksons do not charge for their photos, and place everything on Keith’s Facebook page for everyone to share and download. After all, it’s

Peyton Jackson can capture more than sports action. He captured this image at a recent cannon firing demonstration at Shiloh National Military Park. still a hobby to them. “I don’t charge them anything, I just do it for fun,” Keith said. “I usually give them to people. I just give them a disk and say here you go. “I don’t know if you’d call it charity or what,” Keith said. “I like helping people out. And hopefully (Peyton) will go into that
too. Doing it just for the fun of doing something for people.” About the only thing he charges for is weddings because they take so much time and trouble. “I’m not crazy about weddings,” Keith said. “I keep going up on my prices and people keep saying OK. I don’t like them.
They’re just too much work for what you get.” But he still loves shooting games. “Every time I do a game I get four to five people wanting to be my friend on Facebook,” Keith said. “I don’t know how many friends it’ll let you have on Facebook, but I’ve probably got around
1,500-2,000 friends. And 99 percent of them, I don’t know who they are. I just let them share the pictures.” (Thomas Graning is a junior journalism major at Ole Miss. The native of Troy, Ala., wrote this feature story for a class assignment.)

NEW YORK — Call it the invasion of the Sad Puppies. One of the signature awards of the science fiction/fantasy community, the Hugos, has been ensnared in a fierce debate over the genre’s future, with charges of political correctness and elitism and countercharges of bigotry and dishonesty. Writers and fans have been feuding for weeks, at times in profane and personal terms, on blogs, Twitter and Facebook. On one side: the “Sad Puppies,” a highly motivated bloc within science fiction/fantasy that believes the genre is endangered by a liberal establishment favoring social causes over storytelling. Taking advantage of the Hugos’ open voting process, the Sad Puppies (and the more militant Rabid Puppies) helped get more than a dozen of their preferred candi-
dates on the list of nominees for the 2015 Hugos, announced earlier this month. On the other side, there is no official name — just authors who range from being little known outside of science fiction/fantasy, to some, notably George R.R. Martin, known worldwide. “While most years, the annual list of finalists leaves some members scratching their heads over the collective taste of their fellow members, this year the reaction has been stronger than ever,” said Kevin Standlee, a member of the Hugos’ marketing committee. Standlee says anyone who is at least a supporting member of the annual World Science Fiction Convention (WorldCon) can vote. The only requirement: paying a $40 annual fee. “The Hugo Awards have in the past represented the views of the members who chose to participate, whatever those views are. That’s true this year as well. The nominating process does, however, tend to favor strong minority opinions over those of majorities, because it is a wide-open, un-juried process,” he says. The Sad Puppies, formed two years ago, are led by authors Brad R. Torgersen and Larry Correia. Torgersen, himself a former Hugo nominee, said that his group’s goal was “to make the socalled ‘most prestigious award in the field’ actually reflect some of what the wider fan audience is still reading.” According to Torgersen, the name Sad Puppies originates from a joke by Correia that “every time a tedious, boring, or otherwise ‘literary’ piece of barely science-fiction wins an award, somewhere, puppies cry.” “Sad Puppies has tried to point out that merely being politically topical in a given year, isn’t
necessarily the best way to gauge if a work is really the ‘best’ in the field,” Torgersen said. Torgersen cited a couple of examples from the 2014 Hugos: The winner for best novel, Ann Leckie’s “Ancillary Justice,” was “explicitly playing with gender, and gender is a very hot political topic in the wider culture right now,” he said. Of John Chu’s “The Water That Falls On You from Nowhere,” winner last year for best short story, Torgersen said that it was “explicitly about homosexual relationships, while being very thin on speculative or fantastical elements. But because gay marriage is a very hot political topic in the wider culture, this story too got a boost.” In response, Leckie told the AP that “Mr. Torgersen is, of course, welcome to his opinion. I have quite a lot of readers waiting for my next book, and they are my primary concern right now.” Chu said that he often meets people who loved his story and that “Fandom, at its best, strives to be a big tent, accepting of all genders, races, and sexual orientations. The Hugos, at its best, reflects the whole of fandom.” Critics of the Puppies, whether Sad or Rabid, call them hypocrites who only object to political content when it’s from the left. They note that best editor nominee Vox Day (a pseudonym for Theodore Beale) has called being gay a “birth defect” and said that marital rape is impossible because “marriage grants consent on an ongoing basis.” On his blog (https://bradrtorgersen.wordpress.com), Torgersen wrote that “maybe Vox is terrible” but that calls to disavow him were “about me signaling to the tribe that I can be bent to the tribe’s will.” “I reject all who demand I partake in the unpersoning of anyone in this field,” he wrote.
David Gerrold, whose credits include writing for the original “Star Trek” TV series and the Hugowinning novelette “The Martian Child,” wrote recently on his Facebook page that Torgersen “has committed all the same sins he is now projecting onto others.” Gerrold, who will co-host this year’s Hugos ceremony, added that “the architects of this squabble will have indelibly damaged themselves in the eyes of the SF community.” Martin, in a series of lengthy posts on his web site (http://www.georgerrmartin.com), disputed contentions by the Sad Puppies and their supporters that they have been threatened and ostracized and rejected allegations that white males have been pushed out of the nominations. “Really? Really? C’mon, guys,” Martin wrote. “Go look at the last five, ten years of Hugo ballots. Count how many men were nominated. Count how many women. Now count the black writers and the Asian writers and the foreign-language writers. Yes, yes, things are changing. We have a lot more women and minorities being nominated than we did in 1957, say, or even 1987. But the ballots are still way more white and way more male than not.” “There was never any need for Sad Puppies to ‘take back’ the Hugos,” Martin concluded. “The feminists, minorities, literary cliques, and Social Justice Warriors never took them in the first place. “ The awards will be announced in August during WorldCon, in Spokane, Washington. Torgersen said he suspects that “after a summer of high drama on the internet” people will simply “favor names of authors, editors and artists they recognize.” Martin believes turnout is the main factor.
NBC, its networks miss out on Fallon hit BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press Television Writer
NEW YORK — When Jimmy Fallon sought to turn the popular lip sync competition feature from the “Tonight” show into a television series, NBC turned down one of its biggest stars — a decision that at least initially seems like an embarrassing mistake. Fallon and his production partners instead brought “Lip Sync Battle” to corporate competitors at the Viacom-owned Spike TV, where it instantly became a hit. A clip of actress Anne Hathaway swinging on a giant wrecking ball to emulate Miley Cyrus has been watched online more than 10 million times since it first aired last week. “People are responding to music that they love and to celebrities performing in a different way,” said Casey Patterson, executive producer of the series for Spike. “It’s like ‘Saturday Night Live,’ it’s always a treat to see celebrities moving out of their comfort zone.” Celebrities are calling Spike “every day” to get on the show, she said, including people who won the competition on episodes that haven’t aired yet wondering if they will be invited back. So where was NBC? The network declined comment on why it passed on “Lip Sync Battle.” NBC already airs two cycles of “The Voice” each year and the summertime hit “America’s Got Talent,” so they could be at their limit of talent competitions. And when the show was first pitched to NBC, it featured civilian competitors — not celebrities — making for an entirely
different experience, said a person familiar with the talks who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of negotiations. NBC Universal owns several cable networks, including USA, Bravo, E! Entertainment, Oxygen and Esquire, where a show with the audience of “Lip Sync Battle” would be a game-changer, as it has been for Spike. It’s not clear which of those networks, if any, was offered a chance at the show. Perhaps because of the potential embarrassment, the pitching process is now akin to a state secret. Fallon was on vacation and not available to speak about it, and a spokeswoman said workers at his company Eight Million Plus Productions would not comment. A representative for Matador Content, another production partner, offered host LL Cool J to talk about how the show has become a hit, but said executives would not talk about why it landed at Spike. Spike was first pitched the show more than a year ago by executives at Eight Million Plus and Matador, said Patterson, who was a part of the meeting. The series was pitched to Spike as a celebrity contest, not with civilians. Despite the initial success, it wasn’t a slam-dunk decision for Spike to pick it up. The lip sync battles on the “Tonight” show weren’t as popular as they later became and, because of the need to get clearances for music used on the show, it wasn’t necessarily cheap to produce, she said. Spike sought a series that would crystallize its new direction — the net-
work wants to broaden an audience dominated by young men — but the strategy wasn’t known at the time. So far this has worked spectacularly well: the show’s audience is 58 percent female. The April 2 premiere of “Lip Sync Battle” lured 2.2 million people to Spike, its biggest audience in nearly a decade. In today’s television world, that’s only a small part of a show’s impact, however. The first three episodes of the series have aired a total of 31 times, not just on Spike but on sister Viacom networks MTV and BET, and have been seen by 24.7 million people, the Nielsen company said. NBC’s cable networks rarely approach such numbers. The week that “Lip Sync Battle” premiered, the only NBC cable programs to get more viewers were two “Real Housewives” episodes on Bravo, an “NCIS” rerun on USA and professional wrestling, Nielsen said. On the still-developing Esquire network, the most-watched show that week was an “NCIS: Los Angeles” rerun with 396,000 viewers. On Oxygen, it was an episode of “Snapped” with 379,000 viewers. In an entertainment world where egos bruise easily, getting into the production business with an onscreen star like Fallon has its risks. Would a performer be able to separate success in one arena with potential failure in another? Fallon’s production work has otherwise borne little fruit. NBC premiered his company’s sitcom, “Guys With Kids,” in September 2012 but it lasted only five months.
