Order will allow specialty beer stores

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

The Corinth Board of Aldermen on Tuesday adopted an ordinance amendment that will allow specialty craft beer stores to operate in the city.

It came about as a result of a

request from Brandy and Jeff Phillips, who want to open such a store next to their Wine Barn business on U.S. Highway 72 West. It was not possible to operate such a store under the existing wording of the ordinance.

The amendment excludes a

business licensed to sell specialty craft beer from the requirement to have at least 65 percent of floor space occupied by foodrelated products or drug storerelated products and at least 50 percent of the gross sales from products other than beer or

light wine.

The amendment defines a specialty craft beer as one made by a brewer who is “small, independent and traditional.” It further gives quantifiable definitions of “small,” “independent” and “traditional.”

The Wine Barn owners were previously planning a restaurant next to the business.

Event honors fallen soldier

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Five years after Staff Sergeant Seth Ricketts was killed in Afghanistan, his father Bill Ricketts continues to fight for his son’s memory.

A few months after his son’s death in 2010, Ricketts began planning for an event that would forever honor his son, while also raising money for fallen soldiers and their families.

“Seth died doing what he loved doing, protecting his family and his country,” said Bill Rickets. “I’m going to keep working for his memory and helping those men and women who believe in the same thing he did.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Hamilton County may continue asking local clergy to deliver prayers before commission meetings.

In a Wednesday ruling, U.S. District Judge Sandy Mattice cited U.S. Supreme Court decisions that prayers offered before the meetings of legislative bodies are constitutional.

He quoted a 2014 Supreme Court decision that reads, in part, “legislative prayer lends gravity to public business, reminds lawmakers to transcend petty differences in pur-

suit of a higher purpose, and expresses a common aspiration to a just and peaceful society.�

Two Chattanooga men had claimed that the prayers given before Hamilton County Commission meetings improperly promote Christianity. Mattice rejected those claims. In his order, he noted that Jewish and Unitarian Universalist clergy have been among those chosen to give invocations.

OCEAN SPRINGS — An Ocean Springs man remains in the hospital after losing his leg to flesh-eating bacteria more than a week ago.

Gregory Bru Sr. was listed in critical condition Wednesday in the intensive care unit at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula, said spokesman Richard Lucas.

Gregory Bru Jr. said his father contracted the life-threatening infection, known as Vibrio vulnificus, while on a fishing trip. “He’s been fighting a hard battle,� Bru Jr. said. “I hope nobody else goes through this.

It’s a very dangerous bacteria.�

Dr. Okechukwu Ekenna, an infectious disease specialist at the hospital, said the bacteria thrives in salty brackish waters, mainly during the sum-

mer months. “We get infected with Vibrio primarily through open skin wounds, cuts, inhaling the water, and eating raw oysters, but mostly through cuts,� Ekenna said.

The doctor said the key to successful treatment is getting to the hospital fast if a person experiences symptoms such as chills, fever, sores, blisters and swelling.

A report from WLOXTV said Gregory Bru Sr. left from the Ocean Springs Harbor headed to Horn and Chandeleur Islands on April 11. Two days later, he had his left leg amputated just below the knee.

The younger Bru said it’s hard to watch his father suffer. “It’s gonna be a long road,� he said. “He’s holding strong. It’s in God’s hands.�

the county is under no obligation to allow every individual who asks to deliver a prayer.

Mattice said the courts have established that legislative prayers cannot be used as a pretext to promote one faith over another, but they may favor religion over nonreligion.

The judge ruled in Coleman’s favor on one aspect of the case. Mattice said Coleman, could move forward with a claim that he was illegally removed from a county commission meeting. Mattice ordered Coleman’s illegal seizure claim to go to trial.

As part of the lawsuit, plaintiff Thomas Coleman complained that his request to deliver an invocation before the commission was rejected after he declared that he did not represent any religious assembly or congregation. Mattice ruled that

Only 1,000 raffle tickets will be sold.

Doehner said the idea of a gun raffle fundraiser came about after talking to Alcorn County Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell. “Without Joe and his wife, Amanda’s, help we could not have gotten this far,� she said. “They have done so much.�

The Caldwell’s successfully completed a similar fundraiser in 2012 to raise money for Kos-

suth High School band uniforms. “We’re also expecting a large crowd for the fish fry,� Doehner added. “Those tickets can be purchased at the door the day of the event.

Fish fry tickets at $10 each and include catfish, chicken tenders, fries, hushpuppies, slaw, dessert and sweet tea. “I want to encourage our brave, local law enforcement to stop by as all,� she said. “They’ll be able to purchase a fish fry ticket at the discounted rate of $8.�

Mississippi residents will also be able to apply and purchase the shelter’s new specialty license plate and a kissing booth with puppies will be available during the event.

Vendors are also encouraged to take part in the event. Vendor setup is $20. “As with every year we have held the event, every single penny we raise will go to the Fisher House,� said Ricketts.

The Fisher House is a home-like facility where wounded soldiers and

their families can stay together during the soldier’s recovery.

The house is large enough to accommodate several families at once and its services are free of charge. A local church provides meals for the soldiers and their families.

Although named in his memory, the money raised by the event will also be given in memory of three other local soldiers who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan -- Jonathan Lambert of New Site, Jason Vaughn

of Iuka and Jacob Worley of Corinth. “This event is really for all local military ‌ and God forbid we lose anymore, their names will be added to the event,â€? said Ricketts. “It’s all about giving back to the military and honoring those locals lost.â€?

dation to teach women the Eight principles of becoming a ‘woman of worth’,� said Williams who also serves as conference chairperson. “We have a Women’s Ministry Luncheon every fourth Sunday at noon and a different theme each year which leads up to our women’s conferences.� “Last year’s theme was all about teaching women to embrace their scars,� she added. “Scars serve as a reminder of where we’ve been, but doesn’t have to dictate where we’re going.

As she looks forward to a meaningful conference and a chance to fellow-

ship with other women, Williams seized the opportunity to acknowledge Ministry Leaders Elaine Stovall and Angelique Jumper for all their hard work and devotion to making the ministry a possibility. “Working with a good group of women makes it easy to serve as director, “she said. “They’re always helpful and willing to do whatever is asked of them, often times going beyond their call to service.�

Prentiss County recognizes teacher BOONEVILLE — Prentiss

County School Board members honored the county’s teacher of the year and heard advice from their attorney regarding student transfers during their regular monthly meeting.

The board recognized Hills Chapel first grade teacher Terry Harber as the 2014-15 county teacher of the year. Harber, who has taught at the school for 23 years, was selected for the honor by her peers.

“Through her love, patience and her high expectations she has helped shape the lives of so many young people,” said Hills Chapel Principal Nicky Marshall in presenting the award.

On this date: In 1792, the national anthem of France, “La Marseillaise,” was composed by Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle.

In 1800, Congress approved a bill establishing the Library of Congress.

In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States. (The United States responded in kind the next day.)

In 1932, in the Free State of Prussia, the Nazi Party gained a plurality of seats in parliamentary elections.

In 1953, British statesman Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1962, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal, using NASA’s Echo 1 balloon satellite to bounce a video image from Camp Parks, California, to Westford, Massachusetts.

In 1970, the People’s Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, “The East Is Red.” In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in Iran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen.

In 1990, the space shuttle Discovery blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying the $1.5 billion Hubble Space Telescope.

In 1995, the final bomb linked to the Unabomber exploded inside the Sacramento, California, offices of a lobbying group for the wood products industry, killing chief lobbyist Gilbert B. Murray. (Theodore Kaczynski was later sentenced to four lifetimes in prison for a series of bombings that killed three men and injured 29 others.)

Legion honors three members

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

American Legion Post 6 took time to pay tribute to three of its longest tenured members.

Post 6 honored the trio with a dinner and certificate.

“The Department of Mississippi American Legion Auxiliary is always telling us to use our money on the veterans and that’s just what we did,” said Ladies Auxiliary President Carlean Parker of the steak dinner. “We are always doing something for veterans as a whole or other organizations, but we realized we had never done anything for our own post veterans.”

Gary Briggs and Charles Shipman were presented certificates for

50 years of service to Post 6. John Graham Jr., 91, was honored for his 60 years as member of the post.

“Not only did they honorably serve their country, but to have put in that many years in the American Legion organization is a milestone in and of its self,” said Parker. “They deserve so much more than we could ever give, but at least they know we do think of them and appreciate them.”

During the night, Post Chaplain Bro. Warren Jones — assisted by Chris Grimes and State Auxiliary Chaplain Tina Hurst — delivered a memorial service to remember 13 Post Veterans and three Ladies Auxiliary members who passed away

Highway department cracks down on political signs Associated Press

COLUMBUS — Political candidates in Lowndes County are finding out the hard way that the proper use of a measuring tape could be every bit as important as the art of a good handshake.

Mississippi Department of Transportation employees have removed as many as 70 signs from state rights of way, The Commercial Dispatch reports, confiscating, but not destroying, the signs belonging to several candidates.

MDOT superintendent Kirk Sudduth says he is enforcing state law in order to prevent visu-

al hazards for drivers or obstructions for roadside workers.

He says it’s also an effort to keep state land

from becoming an endorsing ground for political candidates.

Sudduth does, however, have sympathy for the

candidates and says he makes it easy for them to retrieve their oftentimes expensive signs.

“Those big ones can

cost about $250,” Sudduth said. “We just stack them up ... according to who they belong to so that they’re easy to find.”

Paul can’t win

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

In most presidential primaries, there is a candidate who cannot win. All the other candidates want him to finish second because they are sure that if they can get him one on one in a runoff, they will defeat him. The victim must have enough intense support to be able to do well in crowded fields – well enough to make the second round. But he must have sharp limits to his potential vote that doom him to failure.

In 1976, it was George Wallace. In 1988 it was Jessie Jackson. In 1992 it was Jerry Brown. In 1996 it was Steve Forbes. In 2000 it was John McCain. In 2004 it was Howard Dean. In 2008 it was Mike Huckabee (who, like McCain, may do better in his second incarnation). In 2012 it was Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.

In the Republican nominating process of 2016, it is Rand Paul.

No question that Paul has an active and passionate base that will earn him votes throughout the process. So he is well equipped to make the second round. But, once there, he cannot win.

Particularly, as foreign events continue to remind us that we live in a turbulent and threatening world, Paul’s brand of neo-isolationism cannot attract a majority of any electorate in any election. His views seem to predate 1941. While his proposals to ratchet back the power of the Fed and his crusade against crony capitalism will win adherents, his support for legalization of drugs, popular on campus, will turn off voters. His advocacy of a gold standard is either very much behind the times or very much ahead of them. His tepid opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage will appeal to nobody.

The Republican Party is a three-layer cake consisting of economic libertarians, evangelical believers and national security advocates.

Huckabee in 2008 showed you cannot win only as an evangelical. He is showing signs of having learned that lesson in his current bid. John McCain showed the limitations of a focus on national security. Now Rand Paul is about to demonstrate that economic libertarians cannot win without the other two facets of the party behind them.

This year.

But as Paul builds momentum and strengthens his organization, he may be able to win in the future. His is an emerging movement based on the increasingly shared consensus reaction to events. Clearly, the factors that are impelling his rise will continue to grow and be felt as the years progress. Americans are, indeed, getting tired of endless wars in an ever-expanding list of countries against newly hatched enemies. But with each beheading by ISIS, we forget our fatigue and are roused to new heights of indignation.

But these trends have more years to grow until they become mature enough to command majorities. Right now, they are good enough only for second-place finishes.

Paul will finish second to Cruz or third to Cruz, and Walker among the Tea Party activists. He will be the second choice of economic and fiscal conservatives behind Bush. Huckabee and Cruz will beat him among evangelicals. Anyone will be more attractive to advocates of national security.

Beyond all this, 2016 is not a year in which Republicans are prepared to gamble. With Hillary Clinton waiting in the wings, who among us is prepared to bet on a new approach to issues and an attempt to reshape our political party? The stakes are too high and the consequences of failure too horrible.

‘Incumbency Protection Act’ works fairly well OXFORD — It’s April.

Mississippi’s general election is in November. Want to be on a ballot? To part of the “change” people are always talking about? Sorry. Two months too late.

Qualifying for any county or state office (except school boards) ended Feb. 27.

Back in the 1990s, a major shift to earlier candidate deadlines was enacted.

Lawmakers themselves called it the “Incumbency Protection Act.” They knew what they were doing.

Many felt unappreciated or under assault by all the “term limits” activity in those years. Their response was to narrow the filing window for anyone who might seek election, to slam it shut more than eight months before voters make their final selections. It was an alternative route to job preservation.

Now the preceding may sound cynical, perhaps overly cynical. Fact is that voters tend to like “their guy.” The attitude is usually that it’s others who need to go.

Indeed, it was the consensus view of Mississippi voters in 1995 and again in 1999 that enacting term limits was equivalent to throwing out the baby with the bath water.

If a county had a great sheriff who was willing to serve more than eight years (two terms), then why should voters be de-

Charlie M a n y Mitchell states enacted term Columnist limits during what was, admittedly, a stronger “throw the bums out” era that we’re now experiencing.

But Mississippians said no.

A double super majority is required on initiatives in Mississippi.

If a majority approves a measure, the raw number of “yes” votes on the specific question must also be more than 40 percent of total number of people who voted on anything else in the election.

That’s a brain boggler, but no matter. In 1995, only 45.7 percent of Mississippians who cast ballots thought term limits was a good idea.

Four years later and on a slightly different measure, the “pro” limits proportion was even smaller.

We like “our guys” (including our guys who are girls).

Incumbency is strong medicine.

Data compiled by opensecrets.org shows that in 2012 voting for U.S. House seats 90 percent of people seeking re-election won. We are exposed to a constant media harangue about the low

esteem in which Congress is held. So … two years later in 2014, the number of House members re-elected rose to 95 percent — including all four delegates from Mississippi.

The Senate was not much different. A third of Senate seats are on ballots every two years. In 2012, 91 percent were returned; in 2014, the rate dropped to 82 percent.

More than voter loyalty and filing deadlines figure into this.

Another factor, at least in legislative elections, is the district lines lawmakers draw for themselves.

Mississippi legislators often refer to districts by describing them as a “white” district” or a “black district” or a “Republican district” or Democratic district.” It hasn’t always been this way.

Today, election outcomes in most districts are race- and ideology-specific if not candidate-specific.

The repeated electoral success of “our guy” follows, because “our guy,” for the most part, matches our district’s thinking.

Need proof? Ballotpedia identified 14 states where term limits opened a total of 276 legislative seats.

No incumbents. But in 215 of those districts, voters elected a candidate from the same political party as the person whose exit was required by law.

Incumbents do their research. They know what

words and themes resonate where, and use that information to their advantage. This isn’t cheating or wrong. It’s the way electioneering works.

The last factor is cash. Not so much in local elections, but it’s getting that way.

The average candidate who won an open U.S. House seat last year, opensecrets. org says, spent $1.5 million, a full million more than the average losing candidate.

Incumbents who had challengers spent $4 for every dollar their rivals spent.

Those few who defeated incumbents outspent them, on average, $3.4 million to $2.4 million.

It’s kind of like ancient times. A coastal city spotting an enemy flotilla on the horizon might run up the white flag. Similarly. a person thinking about seeking elective office might see an incumbent’s “war chest” and determine discretion is the better part of valor.

Is it necessarily bad to keep electing the same people again and again? No. The collective wisdom of the state electorate has made it clear they don’t think so.

What’s wrong is to expect radical action, as many voters seem to expect, when safety and self-preservation are first on the agenda for candidates who win.

I stood in a long line waiting to shake Percy Sledge’s hand. He was being inducted into the then-new Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia, not far at all from his hometown of Leighton, where as a youth, he picked cotton.

It was apparent I would have only a moment to ask him a question – one question, no possibility of a sitdown interview. And my column was due the same day. I decided, when it came my turn, to cut to the chase.

“How many young girls do you suppose lost their virginity to ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’?” I asked.

Sledge, he didn’t miss a beat. “ W e l l , that’s some fine, bellyrubbing muRheta sic,” he adJohnson mitted, and I had my Columnist cornerstone quote.

Every woman I know wants to be loved the way Percy sang about, the kind of flat-out, passionate, unreasonable love where a man will sleep out in the pouring rain if that’s the way she says it ought to be. Most of us only get that kind of unconditional, seeno-evil, last-dime love from our grandmothers, or stalkers you don’t want near you.

But that song, Percy’s song, though he gave the rights away, raised the remote possibility. It planted the impossible dream in our heads when we were young and believed in romance and unwithering passion

and mind monogamy. Now, whenever we hear it again – in our middle ages, our dotage, one foot in the grave – we’re back in time and all things are once again possible.

Like the best songs – Hank’s “I Can’t Help It If I’m Still In Love With You,” or Lucinda’s “Lake Charles,” or Aretha’s “Natural Woman” – Percy’s hit is a time machine. It carries us where we want to be.

In the 14 years when I spent a lot of time in Louisiana, Percy Sledge was a staple at small clubs and casinos and fairs. His song was sung a lot by others, too, sometimes in French. In Louisiana they called such period love ballads “Swamp Pop,” and Percy was king of the genre. He lived for decades in Baton Rouge.

Once – and this will sound like bragging, but so be it – I was sitting all alone in a bistro across from Gare Nord in Paris, waiting to catch a train to Amsterdam,

when That Song came on the club’s intercom, blasting Percy into the August air. I felt an unreasonable thrill, like the French were playing it for me and me alone, the girl so far from home. I almost wept.

I think he must have had a good life. Swept up from his job as hospital orderly into the burgeoning Muscle Shoals music scene, scoring a major hit his first time at the microphone, consistently making music if not lots of money, Percy Sledge became part of romance history.

He died last week of liver disease. But his song, the one that grabbed us around the waist and pulled us to the dance floor, the one that’s fine, belly-rubbin’ music, it will live forever.

First lady hears requests for hugs WASHINGTON — The most popular question put to Michelle Obama during a question-andanswer session with the children of White House employees on Wednesday was “Can I have a hug?�

It all started when a girl asked for the first lady’s age. Hearing that she is 51, the girl then told Mrs. Obama she looks too young to be 51. “You should come up and give me a hug,� the first lady said, grinning at Anaya Brodie’s comment. “Come on up here. Come give me a hug for that one.�

Anaya received a hug, as did two other girls the first lady called on afterward.

But she eventually drew a line and declined a fourth girl’s request for a hug, saying she didn’t have time to embrace everyone although she’d like to do that. “I wish I could take pictures and hug all of you. I really do,� Mrs. Obama said after answering her final question. “I would stay here and do it, but then you guys would miss your lunch and everything else, and we’d be here all day and your parents would get mad and it would be bad.�

Reagan shooter wants out of hospital WASHINGTON — A lawyer for John Hinckley Jr., the man who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981, says he’s no longer a danger and should be allowed to live fulltime outside a Washington mental hospital.

Hinckley was 25 when a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity in the assassination attempt. He has lived at St. Elizabeths, a Washington mental hospital, ever since.

But he’s 60 years old now and spends 17 days a month at his mother’s home in Virginia.

His attorney Barry Levine told a federal judge in Washington on Wednesday that Hinckley should live fulltime on the outside, but a prosecutor opposed the

plan, saying it doesn’t include enough restrictions.

VA: Botched claims are unusual case WASHINGTON — The Veterans Affairs official overseeing benefits is rejecting notions that mismanagement at its Philadelphia office points to a broader, department-wide problem in handling veterans’ claims and says an internal review will help determine fault.

A blistering report by the VA inspector general last week found a litany of problems in Philadelphia, part of a rush to reduce claims backlogs. The IG says similar complaints were documented in more than 1 in 5 VA regional offices.

VA undersecretary Allison Hickey says the Philadelphia situation likely reflects confusion over policies and problems with records management, but isn’t systemic.

Hickey’s employees were testifying before a House committee Wednesday.

Drug enforcement director to retire WASHINGTON — The embattled head of the Drug Enforcement Administration said Tuesday that she plans to retire after three decades with the agency, an announcement that came amid mounting pressure for her resignation from members of Congress who questioned her handling of misconduct allegations against agents.

Michele Leonhart, a career drug agent who has led the agency since 2007 and was the second woman to hold the job, had been widely criticized for her response to a scathing government watchdog report detailing allegations that agents attended sex parties with prostitutes in a foreign country.

After Leonhart appeared last week before the House Oversight Committee to respond to an inspector general’s allegations that the agents had received lenient punishments, most lawmakers on the panel announced that they had lost confi-

dence in her. She also was criticized as being “woefully unable to change� the agency’s culture.

The no-confidence statement was signed by 13 House Democrats and nine Republicans, including its chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and the committee’s top Democrat, Elijah Cummings of Maryland. Chaffetz went a step further, calling for Leonhart to resign or be fired. On Tuesday, the two lawmakers said they welcomed Leonhart’s departure, calling it appropriate and an opportunity for new leadership.

March gambling dips; river casinos weaken JACKSON — Gamblers lost less money at Mississippi casinos in March, as continued gains at Gulf Coast gambling halls couldn’t overcome a steep decline at casinos along the Mississippi River.

State Department of Revenue figures show casinos statewide won $198.3 million from gamblers in March, down 4.7 percent from $208 million in March 2014.

The 11 coastal casinos won $107.3 million, up 2.4 percent from March 2014. The 17 river casinos won $91 million, down 12 percent from last year.

March is traditionally the strongest month for Mississippi’s casinos.

But while revenues at Gulf Coast casinos rose 2.6 percent over the previous 12 months, river casinos are still dealing with fallout from the closure of Harrah’s in Tunica County.

President predicts climate damage EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. — President Barack Obama looked out on the tall grasses of the Florida Everglades Wednesday and declared that the sweeping wetlands illustrate the dangers posed by climate change. “This is a problem now,� he said.

Obama visited the South Florida landmark to warn of the damage a warming planet is already inflicting on the nation’s environmental treasures — and to hammer political opponents he says are doing far too little about it. “Climate change can no longer be denied,� he said. “It can’t be edited out, it can’t be omitted from the conversation and action can no longer be delayed.�

Obama’s remarks were a not-so-veiled reference to allegations by some former Florida state employees that Gov. Rick Scott’s administration had banned them from using the terms “climate change� and “global warming.� Scott has denied any such policy, and on Tuesday he accused Obama of cutting millions in his budget to repair an aging dike around Florida’s largest freshwater lake, Lake Okechobee.

Obama, dressed casually in a blue shirt and sunglasses, toured the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park, where a series of wooden walkways took him through dense shrubbery and over wetlands.

Man dies after being restrained by police MERIDIAN — A Mississippi man has died after deputies restrained him during an arrest.

WTOK-TV reports 40-year-old Stephen Gene Davenport got in a fight with another man in Meridian early Tuesday.

Authorities say Davenport became violent when deputies tried to arrest him. Two deputies were injured trying to break up the fight.

After being restrained, Davenport became unresponsive. He was taken to a local hospital where he died.

Davenport’s mother told the station her son was a drug user and that she isn’t angry with authorities, but wants answers.

Deputies were wearing body cameras during the incident. Video will be sent to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation as evidence.

Yarber initially declared an infrastructure emergency March 27.

It expired after seven days. Yarber then signed a second, 30-day emergency declaration, but it requires City Council support.

The declaration has been on hold for the last two weeks as the City Council didn’t take it up.

Near the end of Tuesday night’s meeting, the council voted against Yarber’s new declaration. “It just means we will call an emergency when it happens,� Yarber said. “It won’t stop us from working.� “Regardless how we vote, I don’t want people to think we don’t see this as a crisis,� Melvin Priester Jr. said.

Ocean Springs hears benefits with rentals OCEAN SPINGS — Ocean Spring property owners who rent their houses as short-term vacation rentals went before city aldermen to discuss the financial benefits their businesses offer the city.

Don Abrams told city officials Tuesday night that a conservative estimate indicates the small group of existing vacation rentals would put $1.7 million a year into the city’s economy.

The city is considering an ordinance that would regulate and tax the businesses.

Sticking points in the ordinance include allowing neighboring homeowners within 300 feet of a property to veto it as a rental, without cause.

Supporters say that’s a stipulation that could kill the rental business.

2 schools improve security measures BAY ST. LOUIS — A Mississippi school district has completed the first phase of a $2 million dollar project to increase campus safety at two schools.

The Bay-Waveland School District in Bay St. Louis have installed several new security features as part of the Safety Infrastructure Project. Bay State High School and BayWaveland Middle School have both installed new fencing, energy-efficient LED lighting and surveillance cameras. Parking spaces were added and sidewalks upgraded to be more accessible for people with disabilities.

The renovations were prompted by the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut three years ago.

Student has bacterial meningitis TUNICA — The Mississippi Department of Health says an elementary school student has been diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.

The department is working closely with the Tunica County School District to identify teachers and students who may have had contact with the boy. His identity hasn’t been released. He is being treated at Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis. People at risk of contracting the disease will be given precautionary antibiotics.

The department says there is no ongoing health risk at the school, and students and parents who weren’t in contact with the patient are likely not in danger.

Jackson rejects mayor’s declaration JACKSON — The Jackson City Council has voted down Mayor Tony Yarber’s new infrastructure emergency declaration.

Trade agenda emotions roil Senate, delay action WASHINGTON — Emotional disagreements over trade erupted in Congress on Wednesday, when a liberal senator delayed a committee’s likely endorsement of a top trade priority for President Barack Obama.

The day began with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, predicting a “strong bipartisan vote” for “fast track” legislation. The measure would renew presidential authority to present trade deals that Congress can endorse or reject but not amend.

But liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., a fierce opponent of the trade legislation, invoked a Senate scheduling rule to delay the committee’s actions for hours.

“This job-killing trade deal has been negotiated in secret,” said Sanders, who made a lengthy Senate speech denouncing the legislation. “It was drafted with input by special interests and corporate lobbyists, but not from the elected representatives of the American people.”

Clifford F. Page

Hatch rejected the claims, saying fast track and other trade proposals have been carefully negotiated and will undergo public scrutiny.

“We need to be doing all we can tear down barriers to American exports while, at the same time, creating enforceable rules for our trading partners so we can be sure that American workers and job creators are competing on a level playing field,” Hatch said.

He said the committee would work late into the night if necessary to address many proposed amendments. “We’re going to finish this bill today, I don’t care how much time it takes,” he said.

The Hatch-Sanders dispute is one of many emerging as Congress turns to trade proposals bitterly opposed by labor unions and others who say trade pacts hurt U.S. jobs.

Obama says his Democratic opponents have their facts wrong. He wants fast-track powers to help push free-trade proposals such as the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Advocates urge openess on surveillance

BY ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As Congress considers whether to extend the life of a program that sweeps up American phone records, privacy advocates and civil liberties groups say too much about government surveillance remains secret for the public to fully evaluate its reach or effectiveness.

The disclosure two years ago of the National Security Agency’s surveillance efforts prodded the federal government to declassify reams of once-secret documents, including opinions from a secretive intelligence court laying out the program’s origins and legal underpinnings.

But critics say key language from the disclosed documents remains censored, the release of information has been selective, and the ongoing trickle of once-secret memos has raised concerns about how many other potentially illuminating records might yet remain outside the public’s reach.

“That means the public lacks information it needs to understand the significance of the powers that government already has and the significance of the powers that the government is asking for,” said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union.

The NSA program that

“That means the public lacks information it needs to understand the significance of the powers that government already has and the significance of the powers that the government is asking for.”

Jameel Jaffer Deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union collects and stores phone records is conducted under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. The extent of its reach remained secret until Edward Snowden, a former NSA systems administrator, disclosed details of the surveillance in 2013.

Amid a public backlash, President Barack Obama has proposed that the NSA stop collecting the records in bulk and instead request them from phone companies as needed for terrorism investigations.

Congress is now deciding whether to renew or modify the phone records collection when the law authorizing it expires in June. Senate Republicans this week introduced a bill to allow the NSA to continue collecting the calling records of nearly every American, unveiling a measure that would bypass Senate committees and reauthorize sec-

tions of the Patriot Act. Intelligence officials say the program — which collects the “to” and “from” information of most domestic landline phone calls but not their content — is critical to detecting terrorist plots and have sought to justify it through the ongoing declassification of materials, including from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Among documents released in the last two years are court opinions outlining how the NSA was first authorized to start collecting bulk phone and Internet records in the hunt for al-Qaida terrorists, previously classified testimony from intelligence officials and NSA analyst training materials.

The disclosures far surpass available public information on other secret programs such as targeted drone strikes against terror suspects.

But there are gaps in the information that privacy advocates say prevent the public from being able to fully judge the program’s effectiveness, including

the extent to which Section 215 has been construed to allow for other types of bulk collection.

“If the government is asking for the renewal of this authority, the public has a right to know at least in general terms how the authority is being used, and right now the public doesn’t have that,” Jaffer said.

Last month, a federal judge in New York held in a public records lawsuit that the government could lawfully withhold any secret court ruling relating the use of Section 215 for bulk collection of records other than phone records.

Judge William Pauley said the government had “offered a reasoned and persuasive argument for withholding” information that should not be second-guessed.

In that same case, the Justice Department earlier released a couple dozen surveillance court rulings but refused to turn over unspecified others, the exact number of which it said was classified.

The government continues to pull back the curtain with periodic new disclosures, such as the Justice Department’s release in January of a 5-year-old memo that said the Commerce Department was not obligated under Section 215 to turn over confidential census data to federal law enforcement. But such disclosures, though welcomed by civil liberties groups, also hint at how much might still be unknown.

Law brings growth in food stamps in some states

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON AND DAVID MERCER Associated Press

CHICAGO — President Barack Obama’s health care law has had a surprising side effect: In some states, it appears to be enticing more Americans to apply for food stamps, even as the economy improves.

New, streamlined application systems built for the health care overhaul are making it easier for people to enroll in government benefit programs, including insurance coverage and food stamps.

In most affected states, the enrollment increases were not huge, ranging from 1 percent to 6 percent over two years, according to an Associated Press analysis. The sole exception was Nevada, where enrollment shot up 14 percent.

The enrollment is climbing as Republicans try to cut the costs of the food program and at a time when food-stamp usage would normally be expected to decline.

Eligibility rules have not changed.

West Virginia’s foodstamp enrollment increased 4 percent after a Medicaid expansion that was part of the health care changes. Enrollment jumped because people were “more engaged with our systems and more aware what they’re eligible for,” said Jeremiah Samples of the West Virginia Department of

“We attribute the increase in SNAP to Medicaid expansion.

When folks go online now, they have the ability to apply for multiple programs in a single session.”

Sean Pearson New Mexico Human Services Department deputy secretary Health and Human Resources.

With the economy improving, national foodstamp enrollment declined in 2013 and 2014.

But in 11 states, demand rose between January 2013 and the end of 2014, the AP analysis showed.

Ten of those states expanded their Medicaid programs under the health law. Florida did not expand Medicaid but led the nation in health law enrollment in private insurance plans.

Six of the states employed new easy sign-up systems that helped people apply for both Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps, at the same time. Some used online calculators or click-thebox features.

The food-stamp increase was not envisioned by either supporters or opponents of the new health care system. While it’s unclear exactly how much growth can be attributed to the law and incentives it offered to states, the in-

creased enrollment could be expensive. The average food-stamp recipient was paid $125.35 a month last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers SNAP. Based on that, the nearly 632,000 people added to food-stamp rolls in the 11 states would cost SNAP nearly $79 million a month.

“It wasn’t clear to us whether the Affordable Care Act was going to be something that would cause SNAP enrollment to go up or to go down,” said Dorothy Rosenbaum, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington group that advocates for low-income people.

But advocates hoped state investments in technology and online tools would reach new people needing food benefits.

Two out of 10 Americans who are qualified for food stamps have never signed up, Rosenbaum said.

Washington provides the money for food stamps, but the assistance

program is administered by the states, with regulations varying from state to state.

The impact of the increased enrollment could grow because more states are planning to upgrade their application systems for social programs, using federal money offered by the administration through 2018.

Under the new health care law, 29 states, including those governed by both Democrats and Republicans, have so far decided to expand their Medicaid programs to cover more low-income people. Five states are still discussing the expansion.

Sixteen states, most led

by Republican opponents of the health program, are rejecting the Medicaid expansion. In almost every state refusing to expand Medicaid, food-stamp enrollments have been going down with the improving economy.

Among the states with growing food-stamp use, many made efforts to improve Medicaid and food-stamp enrollment systems, using health-law funding for call centers, document imaging, electronic data matching and other tools, according to a report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

In Illinois, food-stamp enrollment increased 2.5 percent to 2.08 million between January 2013 and December 2014, an increase of about 50,000 people in a period when

the state’s unemployment rate fell from 9.1 percent to 6.2 percent. Illinois has long let people sign up for food stamps, Medicaid and other benefits on a single form, state officials said, but a new online application, nicknamed “ABE” for the 16th president, is easier to use.

In New Mexico, foodstamp enrollment has grown by about 22,000 people, a 5 percent increase in 14 months, since the state launched a Webbased sign-up system.

“We attribute the increase in SNAP to Medicaid expansion,” said New Mexico Human Services Department Deputy Secretary Sean Pearson.

“When folks go online now, they have the ability to apply for multiple programs in a single session.”

Enrollment counselors who sign people up for Medicaid say the new systems make it easier for people who qualify to overcome any hesitation about getting food benefits. In Illinois, an online calculator allows people to see how much they might get in food benefits each month.

“If it’s over $100, they definitely say, ‘Yeah, check the box for me,’” said Juanita Dorantes of Chicago, who has helped people sign up for benefits for 12 years and said it’s never been easier.

Officer who shot man dragged him from burning home

BY GENE JOHNSON Associated Press

SEATTLE — One of the officers who killed an immigrant farmworker in Washington state in a shooting that helped fuel the nationwide debate over police use of force had dragged the man away from his burning rental home just weeks earlier.

Antonio ZambranoMontes, who in another case had pleaded with police to kill him, was sitting on the ground in January in a meth-induced trance near the fire when Officer Adam Wright found him, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press under public records requests.

Weeks later, Wright and two other officers shot Zambrano-Montes after he had been throwing rocks in a busy intersection in the southeastern Washington city of Pasco.

Video footage that showed the man run-

ning away, then turning around with arms outstretched just as police unloaded, prompted months of protests. He was the third person killed by Pasco officers within six months.

The documents obtained by the AP shed new light on ZambranoMontes’ run-ins with police and his erratic, sometimes dangerous behavior.

While Pasco police say their officers generally receive more training than state standards require, records show only a halfdozen had taken an extended course on dealing with people in the throes of drug-abuse or mental health crisis — fewer than other departments in the region.

And none of the officers who shot Zambrano-Montes had that advanced training, the records show.

“Any time you see a police officer shoot someone who is known to have

mental health issues, it makes you wonder: Who has responsibility for this? Where did the system break down?” said Sue Rahr, a former sheriff who now heads Washington’s Criminal Justice Training Commission.

Despite the farmworker’s contacts with police, the documents contain no record he ever wound up in counseling or treatment.

In one instance last July, after ZambranoMontes gouged his forehead with a knife and asked police to kill him, an officer alerted a crisis response unit. It’s unclear if anything came of it.

“They never referred him to any type of treatment whatsoever,” said George Trejo, a lawyer for the man’s family.

Meanwhile, ZambranoMontes was floundering on the margins.

He had been living in the U.S. illegally for a decade, and was estranged from his daughters and

wife, who obtained a protection order against him.

He had broken his wrists in a fall, had been out of work and despaired over his inability to send money home to his parents, his family said.

In January 2014, witnesses called police because he was hitting cars with a broom. He threw a mailbox at responding officers and tried to grab an officer’s gun. He admitted taking methamphetamines and spent five months in the county jail.

On July 15, he cut his forehead and locked himself in a basement. Officers busted in. After a struggle, he said he wanted police to kill him. Medics sedated him before taking him to an emergency room.

Police requested felony assault charges for what they described as Zambrano-Montes’ attack on officers, but prosecutors declined. “From reviewing the reports it appears the suspect was a ‘men-

tal,’” a prosecutor wrote.

On Jan. 22, two city workers discovered Zambrano-Montes in his home as it burned.

They walked him outside, where Wright soon found him and asked him to move. He didn’t respond.

“Because he was so close to the fire, I grabbed the man and pulled him farther away for safety reasons,” Wright said. A day later, when he was sober, Zambrano-Montes told him he’d been high on meth and probably started the fire accidentally.

Wright had more than 200 hours of training in 2014, including a 40hour course on domestic violence and protection orders.

But Wright and Officers Adrian Alaniz and Ryan Flanagan did not have the extended crisis intervention training, though some courses they took would have covered how to de-escalate volatile Local Honey & Sorghum

last year and has been pursuing a career-switch master’s degree, signed up for Medicaid in January. She was surprised to learn she likely would qualify for food stamps too.

“I was amazed. I said, ‘Where do I apply?’ Every little bit helps,” Cannon said. Signing up was a breeze, she said.

Republicans in March proposed a 34 percent cut over 10 years in the foodstamp program, which almost doubled in size after the recession. SNAP grew from 26.5 million recipients and a cost of $32.9 billion in 2006 to 47.6 million people and $79.9 billion in 2013 before contracting slightly last year.

Streamlined signups reflect what Robert Doar of the conservative American Enterprise Institute believes are changes in the program’s mission, from short-term help to something more permanent.

He was commissioner of the New York City Human Resources Administration, which determined food-stamp eligibility in the city, until 2013. The federal emphasis was on program promotion and ease of enrollment, he said, “and has not been, ‘help people get jobs.’”

Last fall, the Obama administration extended federal funding for merging state food stamps and Medicaid enrollment systems through the end of 2018.

“Because he was so close to the fire, I grabbed the man and pulled him farther away for safety reasons.”

Officer Adam Wright situations. In 2007, Flanagan took a three-hour course on people with mental illness and developmental disabilities.

Capt. Ken Roske emphasized that the officers were “extremely welltrained and professional.”

He said all of the department’s 71 officers have taken a basic four-hour crisis intervention course, and that in the past two years officers have had training on dealing with veterans in crisis, de-escalation and use of deadly force.

The death of bonds?

This is the year bond funds are going to meet their demise. No, really. It’s a prediction investors have heard every year for quite some time, and it still hasn’t come true.

Bond mutual funds and exchange-traded funds delivered more gains in the first quarter of this year, and investors responded by adding billions of dollars.

In contrast, large-cap stock funds saw $20.8 billion flow in the opposite direction.

It’s all because of interest rates. Instead of rising, as many strategists had predicted, rates remained low. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 1.92 percent from 2.18 percent last quarter, and when rates fall, the price of bonds in fund portfolios climbs.

For years, strategists have warned a rise in rates was inevitable,

and investors got a glimpse of it in 2013, when the 10-year Treasury’s yield jumped to nearly 3 percent.

Back then, investors poured into funds that owned short-term bonds because their prices can be less sensitive to rate changes.

But the reverse was true last quarter. Money moved out of short-term and nontraditional bond funds and into intermediate-term bond funds.

Junk-bond funds were also popular as a strengthening economy raised expectations that default rates would remain low.

To be sure, the Federal Reserve appears set to raise short-term rates later this year for the first time since 2006. But there’s disagreement on whether long-term rates will subsequently spike or move up gradually, which bond funds could more easily absorb.

Mom inquires about how to help her son WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: Last week, our son came home from high school and told us that a boy at his school had killed himself.

The boy had been a friend of his since the fifth grade.

The school had a moment of silence over the public address system, but never mentioned the boy’s name.

Most of the details about the suicide are nonexistent, although there are a few things mentioned on a website asking for help paying for funeral costs.

Students who didn’t know the suicide victim are guessing it was caused by bullying.

Our son says that’s not true. Some students are even saying the fund requests are a scam.

We haven’t heard anything about whether the school is offering grief counseling.

We’ve talked to our son about the tragedy and are trying our best to help him.

Because the students have no information, they are making wild guesses and placing uninformed posts on social media.

My question is why is this tragedy so secret?

Should the school do more? — Sad Mom Dear Sad: Sometimes, the school is ill-equipped to deal with such tragedies

Annie’s Mailbox and does nothing, which tends to create a whirlwind of misinformation. Also, the administration may fear that mentioning the details would create copycat suicides.

But the details do not need airing. The acknowledgement of mourning, however, is important.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp. org) offers a Toolkit for Schools, and you should mention this to the administration.

The foundation is also an excellent resource for anyone dealing with suicide, and you will find information there that will help you talk to your son about his friend.

Dear Annie: I would like to thank “B” for bringing attention to the telephone scammers who have been plaguing America.

I also would like to bring to your readers’ attention to a scam perpetrated by people claiming to be from the IRS. I have received three calls from these people.

The “official” recorded message is totally bogus.

The caller threatened me with arrest for ignoring the calls. They instructed me to call a 202 area code, but it’s a private Washington, D.C., number, not the IRS. I have worked for a federal agency and know how things work. Please be aware of the following: 1. The IRS does not initiate contact by telephone. They use certified mail.

2. Legitimate government agencies have an 800 number.

3. The IRS will not arrest anyone over the phone. If an arrest is required, it will be after lengthy legal processes have been exhausted.

You’ll know about it. Police agencies need a bona fide warrant to arrest people.

4. If you receive such a call, report it to the IRS at IRS@tigta.gov. Also notify your local police. — Knows Better Dear Knows: Thank you for your expert advice.

Calls pretending to be from the IRS can be particularly frightening for people who are so eager to cooperate that they give out personal financial information over the phone.

Please, folks, be careful.

Resentment is the thanks mom gets for helping son’s family out

Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: My son, “Rick,” and daught e r - i n - l a w, “Amy,” seem to really dislike me. I try to be kind and not pry, but they live with me and it can make for a full

house.

They have had job difficulties and work injuries that brought them back to my home.

Her parents don’t care for my son, so living there was not an option.

Amy does not help at all with the housework.

Rick does most of it. They also have a wonderful 21-month-old boy.

A second baby is on the way.

They have lived with me for four years now.

Abby, Amy shows no respect for my home or for me.

I mostly keep quiet so as to not push away my only son.

I want to be part of my grandson’s life. Please advise me on handling this matter. -- UNDERVALUED OUT WEST DEAR UNDERVALUED: By allowing your son and daughter-in-law to live with you for

such an extended period of time, you have fostered their dependence on you.

That may be why your daughter-in-law is resentful rather than grateful for your generosity in giving them a roof over their heads.

That they would conceive a second child under these circumstances -- without jobs and no place of their own -- tells me they are immature and irresponsible.

Give them a date to be out -- say one month -- and stick to it. If they want to know why, tell them the truth.

You should not have to live in a house with a daughter-in-law who treats you like the enemy because it is not healthy for any of you.

If you are afraid the only way to have a relationship with your grandchildren is to tolerate being used, I think you are mistaken.

As long as you can provide material assistance to these two, they’ll keep you around.

understandably, it wakes him and then he wakes me to make me stop.

This goes on all night long.

Needless to say, neither of us is happy in the morning.

We have now started sleeping in separate rooms.

The issue I am having now is, my husband will be retiring in a few months and he wants us to do a lot of traveling, mainly cruising.

I’m not sure how this will work with our new sleeping arrangement. -- SLEEPY IN ALABAMA DEAR SLEEPY: Have you discussed your snoring with your physician?

Snoring can be a symptom of a medical problem that’s fixable.

When your husband first told you about it, you should have mentioned it to your doctor.

Ear plugs might help your husband, but if there is a medical solution for your snoring, it would make your problem moot.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for almost 31 years. We have had a good marriage, but for the last couple of years, my husband has told me that I snore when we go to sleep at night.

He is a very light sleeper, and

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).

Just because you hold an office doesn’t mean you automatically wield all of the authority associated with that position. You have to step up and claim it. Today you will.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s always more to learn, but on days like today, it’s more important to stick to the schedule, muscle through and say “good enough.” You don’t have to be the world’s greatest expert to get this job done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Don’t wait for permission or for someone to grant you the status you need to move forward.

Claim what you want. This actually makes a lot less work for others.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

This is one of those times when it will feel far more urgent to give than to receive. You need to know you make a difference in someone else’s life, and you’ll give until you have proof.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Right now you have so many events and items you’re in charge of that you may find it challenging to get them into a system that makes sense. Spend a few hours trying anyhow. You’ll find something you were missing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The tiniest things can make you happy when you feel you have earned them. Use this principle to your advantage by supplying a small but meaningful prize for another person.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A lot of people won’t even realize the truth of the situation until you point it out. You will say what everyone else is thinking and with such a light touch that they can’t help but laugh.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You can’t change people, but you can inspire them to change themselves. Because you look like you’re having so much fun today, you’ll influence the people around you. They’ll want your happiness secret.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You feel a duty to love, but you don’t always love the duty. The mundane acts of selflessness, like feeding or driving another person, may not be very romantic, but they are now among the best ways to show you care.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Should you offer your kind service for free? Some say that people only value what they pay for. Research and experiment. What’s working for other people will likely work for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Persistence will win out, but only if it’s coupled with problem-solving skills. Success will require tinkering. Before you try again, figure out what went wrong the last time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Others around you are trying to rush to the finish. There’s no hurry! Take your time. You have a talent for thinking things through. What’s well conceived will be well expressed.

Seattle catcher Mike Zunino is hitting a scant .139 with a .205 OBP, but the Mariners may not mind too much. Zunino, the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst-round (third overall) pick in 2012, is eager to supplant Yadier Molina as the best throwing catcher in the big leagues. Zunino has nabbed ďŹ ve of the six baserunners trying to steal this season. The only successful attempt came with Felix Hernandez on the mound. King Felix is regarded as one of the easiest hurlers to run on in the majors.

Meanwhile in St. Louis, Molina has yet to nab a runner this season with ďŹ ve successful steals against him...

Over the winter, the Yankees, in need of a replacement for Derek Jeter at shortstop, traded starting pitcher Shane Greene to the Tigers in a three-team swap that brought the Yanks shortstop Didi Gregorius from Arizona. In three starts for the Tigers, Greene has given up just 12 hits and ďŹ ve walks over 23 innings.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-0 with an 0.39 ERA. In New York, the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starters are 4-4 with a 4.75 ERA and 1.372 WHIP, and Gregorius is batting .189...Joe Maddonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching staffs have never been shy about pitching inside and protecting their own players. But at the end of two weeks, the Cubs are the only team in baseball not to plunk any batters...The San Francisco bullpen has yet to blow a save in four chances. The Marlinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relievers have blown both save opportunities afforded them this season...There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any signs of A-Rust on the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; $30 million designated hitter, as predicted by many experts over the winter. In fact, A-Rod leads the Yankees in average, on-base percentage, slugging, runs, home runs and RBIs...Nelson Cruz, signed as a free agent by Seattle over the winter, has eight home runs this season, more than ďŹ ve entire teams (Miami, St. Louis, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Milwaukee)...The Houston Astros arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to take their cuts. George Springer, Evan Gattis and Chris Carter have combined to whiff 52 times this season.

The trio has just 15 hits...The Pirates and Cardinals are the only teams without a triple so far this season...Detroit, Kansas City, Oakland and Tampa Bay are the only teams not to issue an intentional walk thus far...The New York Metsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; current eight-game winning streak is the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest since June 2010, when the Mets also won eight straight. The most recent longer streak was 10 games in 2008.

NUMBERS GAME

3-0

At age 42, Bartolo Colon of the New York Mets has three wins in his ďŹ rst three starts this season. The veteran righthander has never won his ďŹ rst four starts in a season. He began the 2007 campaign with a 5-0 mark, but he had a no-decision in his fourth start of that season. Colon is one of four active pitchers with more than 200 wins.

TURN BACK THE CLOCK April 23, 1999 Fernando Tatis of the St. Louis Cardinals is the ďŹ rst (and only) player in history to hit two grand slams in one inning. His two clouts make Chan Ho Park of the Dodgers the only pitcher to give up two slams in one inning since 1900.

Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Price sorry for bad words, sticks by sentiment The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cincinnati manager Bryan Price is sorry for using foul language in a pregame tirade.

Everything in between the bad words remains fair game.

The Reds skipper stood firm on his stance that media shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t report developments he thinks would put his team at a competitive disadvantage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think probably before we get started itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate that I acknowledge the events of yesterday before the game,â&#x20AC;? Price told reporters before Tuesday

nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Milwaukee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used a lot of bad language that I feel bad for in the aftermath. And I apologize for that. The content between the profanity is exactly how I felt, and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apologize for that under any circumstances,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I said was exactly how I felt. So what was your question?â&#x20AC;?

Price apologized twice in the managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, once in front of TV cameras and again when the cameras were off. He looked reporters in the eyes during his apologies, which

echoed a similar sentiment to the first apology of the day posted on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter account. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While I stand by the content of my message, I am sorry for the choice of words,â&#x20AC;? Price said on Twitter.

Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blowup was out of character. The secondyear manager is known for being gracious and respectful with reporters, and rarely swears in their presence. The daily pregame meeting got a lot more heated before Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-1 win against the Brewers. Price was partic-

ularly upset over a Cincinnati Enquirer report that catcher Devin Mesoraco wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to play during a game in St. Louis because of injury. The Reds confirmed on Monday that Mesoraco was in Cincinnati getting tested for a sore hip.

Price also was upset the Enquirer reporter tweeted that catcher Tucker Barnhart was on his flight to St. Louis for the series on Friday, an indication he was being called up from the minors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (expletive) business,â&#x20AC;? Price said. The Enquirer count-

ed 77 uses of a common vulgarity during Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-minute, 34-second diatribe.

Mesoraco, a power-hitting catcher, said Tuesday he was available to pinch hit if needed, though he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure when he might be able to return to full-time duty behind the plate. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played since April 12.

Asked if Priceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outburst could have any impact on the team, Mesoraco responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, zero.â&#x20AC;?

The Reds had lost four straight and were scuffling through a 1-7 stretch going

into the Milwaukee series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is the major leagues. If you need any more emotion to play better, then you ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be here for long,â&#x20AC;?

Mesoraco said. Unlike the NFL, where coaches try to keep injuries more secret, Major League Baseball managers routinely tell reporters which players are available for a game. They will explain a starter is out of the lineup because of a minor injury but is available to pinch hit or a reliever is unavailable because he has pitched several consecutive days.

County trio opens 2nd season today

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

A baseball season that got off to a slow start has picked up the pace.

Two nights after wrapping up regular-season play, Alcorn Central, Corinth and Kossuth will open their first-round playoff series today.

Higher seeds will host Game 1 and Game 3 -- if necessary -- with the lower seeds earning a home contest for Game 2.

• The two-time defending Class 3A State Champion Aggies will face off with Winona at home tonight at 6 p.m., with the winner facing Humphreys County and a yet to be determined opponent in the second round.

Kossuth (13-9, 6-4) finished second in 1-3A behind Belmont (9-1). The Aggies were tied with Mooreville for second, but got the edge by sweeping the Troopers.

Winona (12-11, 5-3) was the No. 3 seed from Division 4.

• Corinth (9-9, 6-4) split its seasonending series with Tishomingo County with a 9-8 win on Tuesday, earning the three seed via head-to-head tiebreaker with Amory.

Itawamba AHS (7-3) is the top seed in Division 1-4A, with Pontotoc (7-3) second. The Warriors play tonight at 6 in Collinsville against West Lauderdale. The perennial champion Knights enter play at 17-5 and the No. 2 seed in Division 4 at 8-2.

Corinth will host Game 2 at 6 p.m. on Friday. School officials note the admission will be $7 and only state passes will be accepted.

The series winner will play either Lafayette County or the yet to be announced No. 4 seed from Division 3.

• Alcorn Central used a 16-run fifth inning Tuesday night at Booneville to claim a 19-5 win at earn the No. 4 spot in Division 1-4A. The Bears (13-8-1) will open play tonight at Nettleton. The Tigers (17-5, 7-1) were the champions from Division 4. Central will host Game 2 on Friday.

The winner of the series matches up against Independence-East Side.

Aggies power their way to title

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Kossuth High School’s powerlifting program has come a long way the past six years.

It reached the apex Saturday at Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson as the Aggies claimed the Class 3A state championship.

“The kids put in the hard work and it finally paid off,” said Brian Kelly, who has led the program for six years.

“We knew it would be close going up against some good weight-lifting programs and strong kids.”

Kossuth, Velma Jackson -- a three-time champion in 2010-12 -- and Charleston all had nine lifters in the event, which combines bench, squat

and deadlift.

Kelly said it literally came down to the last two weight divisions with Blake Arnold (308) and Ty Dickson (308plus) winning Kossuth’s third and fourth golds of the day.

The Aggies finished with 43 points, eight ahead of Charleston and Velma Jackson.

Charleston and Velma Jackson each totaled 35 points, with the Tigers winning the tie-breaker of most first-place finishes.

Earlier in the morning session, Logan Morton (114) claimed his third straight state title and Hunter Switcher (132) defended his 2014 title.

“Everybody had a personal

record day,” said Kelly. “And we knew we had to have that to have a good meet.”

Kossuth has won the last six Division 1-3A titles and three North Half championships, including this year.

Prior to winning Saturday’s event, Kossuth’s highest finish was third -- accomplished three times.

The other years resulted in a fourth- and fifth-place team finish.

Kossuth finished with seven medals. Luke Osborn (123) earned a silver, while Jaley Adams (198) and Garret Mansel (165) earned bronzes.

Six years ago, just like in 2015, Kossuth took nine lifters to the State Meet. The brought home only one med-

al, however.

“We’ve come along way in that time,” said Kelly. “We have six coming back and a couple that didn’t lift because they had seniors ahead of them.”

There are 12 different weight classes going from 114 to 308-plus. Participants go through three squats, bench presses and deadlifts, using the best in each to determine an overall total.

“We finished 26 of our 27 squats,” said Kelly. “I was proud of that.”

Kossuth’s other participants were Brett Holley (242), who was fourth -- just 15 pounds from third; and Daniel Martin (181), who missed a bronze via tiebreaker.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.: I’m better than Ali Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather Jr. refused Wednesday to back off earlier comments declaring himself a better fighter than Muhammad Ali. Mayweather said he respects Ali’s great career and the things he did outside the ring. But he said he believes he has done as much in boxing as the legendary former heavyweight champion ever did, without the losses that Ali suffered in his career.

“He called himself The

Greatest and I call myself TBE (The Best Ever),” Mayweather said. “I’m pretty sure I’ll get criticized for what I said, but I could care less. I could care less about the backlash.”

Mayweather had earlier said that he was better than both Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson, pointing to his 47-0 record as proof. He also said he would never have lost to a fighter like Leon Spinks, who beat an aging Ali in 1978 after having just seven pro fights.

“I just look at Ali’s career when he fought Leon Spinks

and lost to a fighter with seven fights,” Mayweather said.

“There were some other fights he lost and he’s still known as The Greatest because that’s what he put out there. It is what it is.”

A little more than a week before his megafight with Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather seemed relaxed on a conference call where he talked about his career and the man he will face in the ring May 2. He refused to say anything bad about Pacquiao, and said he was treating the richest

fight ever as just another fight.

“I know it’s the biggest fight in boxing history but I can’t approach it like that,” Mayweather said. “I’m never going to put any unnecessary pressure on myself. I like to approach the fight like he’s a fighter who’s extremely talented. But my thing is to just be Floyd Mayweather.”

That has worked for Mayweather his entire career, though most boxing historians would disagree with his Please see MAYWEATHER | 13

Oklahoma City fires Brooks after 7 seasons The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Scott Brooks did everything but win a championship.

It wasn’t enough.

The Oklahoma City Thunder fired their coach on Wednesday, parting ways with a former NBA coach of the year who led the team to three conference finals in four years only to falter this season as his players were hit hard by injuries.

Brooks coached the Thunder for seven seasons. Starting in 2010-11, he led the team to the Western Conference finals three out of four years, and the Thunder reached the NBA Finals in 2012. The Thunder failed to make the playoffs this past season, as injuries limited them to a 4537 finish.

Brooks was 338-207 (.620) with the Thunder and was the 2009-10 NBA Coach of the

Year. He said last week that he expected to be the coach next season.

“This is an extremely difficult decision on many levels,” Thunder general manager Sam Presti said. “Scott helped establish the identity of the Thunder and has earned his rightful place in the history of our organization through his seven years as a valued leader and team member.”

Still, Brooks was criticized

by many for failing to win a title with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook on his roster. Durant was last year’s MVP and is a fourtime scoring champion, while Westbrook was this year’s All-Star MVP and scoring champion. Presti backed Brooks throughout the season, but said Wednesday that being in position to win a title Please see BROOKS | 13

NFL suspends Dallas DE Hardy for 10 games The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The NFL suspended defensive end Greg Hardy for 10 games without pay Wednesday for conduct detrimental to the league after concluding there was “credible evidence” he roughed up his ex-girlfriend nearly a year ago when he was a member of the Carolina Panthers.

Hardy, who joined the Dal-

las Cowboys as a free agent on a one-year, incentive-laden deal, was notified Wednesday of the decision in a letter from Commissioner Roger Goodell. Hardy plans to appeal.

Goodell cited “sufficient credible evidence that Hardy engaged in conduct that violated NFL policies in multiple respects and with aggravating circumstances.” His assault

case had been dismissed in a North Carolina court because his accuser refused to cooperate with prosecutors, but an NFL investigation concluded that Hardy used physical force against his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Holder, in at least four instances.

“The net effect of these acts was that Ms. Holder was severely traumatized and sustained a range of injuries, in-

cluding bruises and scratches on her neck, shoulders, upper chest, back, arms and feet,” Goodell wrote. “The use of physical force under the circumstances present here, against a woman substantially smaller than you and in the presence of powerful, military-style assault weapons, constitutes a significant act Please see HARDY | 13

own view of his place in boxing’s historical hierarchy. That includes the current heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, who told a group of reporters in New York on Tuesday that maybe Mayweather shouldn’t be so boastful.

“I think probably, I heard this comment from Mayweather that he’s better than Ali or greater than Ali,” Klitschko said. “I think people call the king the king, not the king (who says) ‘I’m the king.’ So people make others somebody that he is or that he’s not. So that’s people’s opinions.”

While Mayweather’s place in history may be in debate, there’s no debate that he will make the biggest purse ever against Pacquiao. Depending on pay-per-view sales — which reportedly

have been strong for a fight still 10 days away — he could earn as much as $180 million for the welterweight title bout.

That prompted a question Wednesday about whether the free-spending Mayweather — who owns a fleet of expensive cars, a private jet and several mansions — worries about losing all his money after he retires.

“I’m blessed, I made some good investments,” Mayweather said. “If I wanted to retire today I could.”

Mayweather credited what he called a brilliant game plan for reaching his goal of becoming the first fighters to ever make a nine figure paycheck in one night. But he said he has changed in recent years, toning down his act and putting aside the Pretty Boy and Money May personas he used to help him sell previous pay-per-view fights.

is important to him.

“It is very important to state that this decision is not a reflection of this past season, but rather an assessment of what we feel is necessary at this point in time in order to continually evolve, progress and sustain,” he said. “We move forward with confidence in our foundation and embrace the persistence and responsibility that is required to construct an elite and enduring basketball organization capable of winning an NBA championship in Oklahoma City.”

Team Chairman Clayton Bennett agreed.

“While a very hard decision, I support the need to transition to a new coach that will allow us to continue the growth and progress that will help us reach all of our goals,” he said.

The Thunder stumbled to a 3-12 start this season as injuries took their toll. As the season progressed, Brooks became annoyed with speculation and doubters.

“I understand a lot of people out there are criticizing,” Brooks said right before the All-Star break. “It’s not something I worry about. My mother gave me a lot of great lessons, and one of the biggest lessons - don’t listen to ‘they.’

‘They’ never should impact how you think, how you prepare, and what are the things that you want to accomplish.”

Durant and Westbrook had said Brooks did a good job this past season under the circumstances. Durant played just 27 games this season after breaking a bone in his right foot. Serge Ibaka, the team’s defensive anchor, missed the final month of the season after right knee surgery.

“He rallied us,” Durant said last week as the team wrapped up the season. “He made sure everybody was emotionally stable. A lot of guys in and out of the lineup, and he kept everybody together. That’s what a coach is supposed to do.

I can’t really say nothing about it because he did his job. He did his best job he can do, and I’m proud of him.”

Westbrook was supportive as well.

“He did a great job,” Westbrook said. “I don’t think he gets enough credit for some of the stuff he does behind the scenes. Obviously, a lot of people that’s not in this building maybe want him to do different things, and want to see other things from him, but as a coach and as a friend, I think he does an amazing job of communicating what he wants out of his players.”

of violence in violation of the personal conduct policy.”

The 26-year-old Hardy was on the commissioner’s Exempt List last season and did not play for Carolina, although he was paid his $13.1 million salary. “This suspension is something that we anticipated prior to Greg’s signing, and we respect the commissioner’s ruling,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday in a statement. “Our organization understands the very serious nature of this matter. We will use our resources —work closely with Greg and with the league — to ensure a positive outcome.”

After what the NFL called an extensive twomonth investigation led

by Lisa Friel, who recently was hired by the league to oversee such probes, it was determined that Hardy would be suspended “under any version of the personal conduct policy or its predecessors.”

Among the evidence Friel’s investigation un-

covered was that on May 13, 2014, Hardy: —used physical force against (Holder) which caused her to land in a bathtub; —used physical force against her which caused her to land on a futon that was covered with at least four semiautomatic rifles; —used physical force against her by placing his hands around her neck, applying enough pressure to leave visible marks.

—used physical force to shove her against a wall in his apartment’s entry hallway.

The NFL also concluded that Hardy failed to provide complete and accurate information to investigators and members of the league staff.

The league said Friel’s investigation involved interviews with witnesses and experts; a review of hundreds of pages of court records, documents and exhibits, photographs, police reports, medical records; and reports and opinions of medical experts retained

by Hardy’s attorneys and by the NFL office.

Bonds’ obstruction conviction thrown out

BY RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — Barry Bonds’ obstruction of justice conviction was thrown out Wednesday by a federal court of appeals, which ruled 10-1 that his meandering answer before a grand jury in 2003 was not material to the government’s investigation into illegal steroids distribution.

“Real-life witness examinations, unlike those in movies and on television, invariably are littered with non-responsive and irrelevant answers,” Judge Alex Kozinski wrote.

Baseball’s career home runs leader was indicted in 2007 for his testimony four years earlier before the grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.

Dennis Riordan, Bonds’ appellate lawyer, spoke with his client after the ruling. “He said an enormous, enormous weight

had been lifted from his body and soul,” Riordan said. Jessica Wolfram, one of the jurors who convicted Bonds, said she couldn’t help but feel it was “all a waste, all for nothing.”

“Just a waste of money, having the whole trial and jury,” she said. Following the trial that opened in March 2011, a jury deadlocked on three counts charging Bonds with making false statements when he denied receiving steroids and human growth hormone from trainer Greg Anderson and denied receiving injections from Anderson or his associates.

Bonds was convicted for his response when he was asked whether Anderson ever gave him “anything that required a syringe to inject yourself with.”

“That’s what keeps our friendship,” Bonds said. “I was a celebrity child, not just in baseball by my own

instincts. I became a celebrity child with a famous father. I just don’t get into other people’s business because of my father’s situation, you see.”

Judges divided on the rationale, with four separate opinions to throw out the conviction and one to uphold it. The appeals court barred a retrial, citing prohibitions on double jeopardy.

Wolfram said she remembers there being some confusion among the jurors over the fact that he did answer the question later in the testimony. The government could ask the 11-judge panel to reconsider Wednesday’s decision or could request that all 29 judges on the 9th Circuit rehear the case.

The full court has never sat on a case since it began using the “limited en banc” panels in 1980.

Prosecutors also could petition the U.S. Supreme Court to review the de-

cision. “The real significance is the damage that it undid,” Riordan said. “It’s no longer a federal crime if you manage to falter or stumble or get off track” while testifying before a grand jury.

A seven-time NL MVP and the son of three-time All-Star Bobby Bonds, Barry Bonds was sentenced in 2011 by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to 30 days of home confinement, two years of probation, 250 hours of community service in youth-related activities and a $4,000 fine. He already has served the home confinement. “I could not be more happy that Barry Bonds finally gets to move on with his life,” BALCO founder Victor Conte said.

“Let’s hope the prosecutors choose not to waste any more resources on what has been nothing more than a frivolous trophy-hunt and a complete waste of taxpayer dollars.”

Rondo finished with Mavs, Parsons out of playoffs Associated Press

DALLAS — Rajon Rondo has played his last game for the Dallas Mavericks, and Chandler Parsons is out for the rest of the playoffs with a right knee injury that will require surgery.

After saying that Rondo was out indefinitely with a back injury sustained before he was benched in a Game 2 loss to Houston, coach Rick Carlisle acknowledged Wednesday that Rondo will not play another game for Dallas.

The four-time All-Star sat all but 34 seconds after halftime Tuesday night in a 111-99 loss that gave the

Rockets a 2-0 lead in the first-round series. Game 3 is Friday night in Dallas.

Carlisle said Parsons was exploring options for surgery. He played in the series opener after missing the last six games of the regular season.

Rondo came in a December trade with Boston and had a shouting match with Carlisle on the court that resulted in a onegame suspension in February.

In Game 2, he was pulled after picking up his third and fourth fouls guarding James Harden early in the third quarter, and getting a technical af-

ter one of the calls.

While Carlisle could have hidden behind foul trouble as the reason for yet another ineffective game from the player acquired to try to boost Dallas’ playoff prospects, the coach changed everything by leaving Rondo on the bench for good.

The two quick fouls were puzzling, but paled compared to Rondo inexplicably getting called for an eight-second backcourt violation while walking the ball up the court in the first half. His poor defense right after the call led to an easy 3-pointer for Jason Terry.

“I understand that the announcement that’s been made is going to have different interpretations,” Carlisle said Wednesday.

“I am giving you our interpretation of it, and this is fact. From here, we’re moving forward. We’ve got a series to win and we’ve got to win Game 3 with the guys that are available.”

But when asked if the free agent-to-be would wear a Dallas uniform again, Carlisle said, “No, I don’t.”

Rondo had 10 playoff triple-doubles in Boston, which won the title in 2008 and went the NBA Finals again two years later.
