Free lunch: Tax increase talks begin

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The Alcorn School District Board of Education continued discussion Friday regarding universal free lunch.

Food Service Supervisor Peggie Bundy presented the board

with preliminary figures on what providing free lunch to every student would cost the school district.

“The breakdown from the state said the district would spend $199,238,890 out of pocket per school year to pro-

vide universal free lunch,” said Bundy. “The district would have to put money into the cafeteria fund to cover the cost.”

According to Bundy, the figure is very conservative.

Board member and strong supporter of universal free

lunch Carroll Morton agreed.

“We have to expect the number would increase,” said Morton. “If we were providing free lunch in the schools, I think there would without doubt be more kids taking advantage of the benefit.”

The figure is based on the district’s participation in the state assisted Provision Two program.

Absentee voting now underway

The first votes have been cast in the races that will appear on this year’s countywide ballot, but just a few.

With the congressional primaries coming up on June 3, absentee voting has been open for a few weeks. As of Friday, absentees cast in person at the circuit clerk’s office in the primary election included four in the Republican primary and one in the Democratic pri-

mary.

Those numbers are not unusual in an “off” election year.

“I have people ask me just about every day, ‘What kind of election have we got coming up?’,” said Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell.

With Sen. Thad Cochran’s primary race generating some interest, he expects a decent turnout of 3,000 to 4,000 on election day to cast a ballot in Please see ABSENTEE | 2A

Office Associates Evonne Dye-Grove and Misti Crum prepare to assist others at the MSU Extension Service.

Associates love their jobs

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

(Editor’s Note: In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Mississippi State University Extension Service, the Daily Corinthian will be featuring staff in the Alcorn County office.)

For Evonne Dye-Grove and Misti Crum, working with the Mississippi State University

Extension Service in Alcorn County has been a positive and rewarding experience.

“One of the most rewarding things I do is getting to work with 4-H’ers. It’s sad when kids age out of the 4-H program, but some of them come back as volunteer leaders,” said Office Associate Evonne Dye-Grove.

“Even more rewarding is getting to see a former 4-H’er come

back with their children as 4-H members.”

Office Associate Misti Crum said for her, it is networking through the state, meeting with extension services in other counties, developing relationships and creating life-long connections.

ficult people and learning to work with different personalities and backgrounds is the most challenging aspect of their jobs.

Grove, known for her colorful personality and humorous nature, has never met a stranger. “I love to talk. Everyone who’s met me, knows that,� she said.

When someone calls the extension office, Grove’s voice is often the first they hear. “It is my job to assist or direct people to the proper person who can help. Prior to coming to work here, I had always worked in a public environment, but with adults.

Working at the extension service allows me to work with people of all ages,� said Grove, who enjoys networking and meeting new people.

Though she has specific duties, her responsibilities extend far beyond them. “I assist the County Agent with the Mississippi Homemaker Volunteers (MHV), Master Gardeners, Livestock Program, Cattleman and others. I also assist 4-H as

to get along well. It’s a blessing.�

In her spare time, Gove enjoys spending time with her son, Terrance, two grandchildren and other family members. The New Albany resident also likes to do jigsaw puzzles. “She is very good to work with and a delightful person to be around. She is also a bubbly person with a happy attitude who goes way beyond her duty. She exemplifies everything an extension service employee should be,� said President of the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors, Lowell Hinton, who was an extension employee for many years.

When she isn’t working, Crum said she enjoys reading, participating in church activities and being involved in her church’s Sunday school class. “She is kind, generous, creative and funny. Anyone who has ever met her knows she loves God, her family and helping others,� said Crum’s cousin, Danielle King.

The Walnut native is also helping rear her four-year-old niece, Jozie. “She keeps me busy,� said Crum.

volunteer leader, advisory council member and whatever else is needed,� she said.

Crum, like Grove, is also one of the first employees most encounter.

She answers the phone, directs clientele and gets people the information they need.

In addition to those things, the Kossuth High School graduate also works with 4-H and helps Mary Linda Moore with Financial Resource Management. “She is a lot of fun to work with,� said Family Resource Management Area Agent Mary Linda Moore.

Grove and Crum describe their circle of colleagues as being a great group of individuals. “Working here has been wonderful because everyone is like my family,� said Grove, who studied Business Education at Rust College.

Her fellow office associate agreed the dynamic group meshes well. “We all function as a team,� said Crum, who holds an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration from Northeast Mississippi Community College. “Everyone seems

Living Free’s mission: helping others

Today in history

The ministry was originally housed in the Alcorn Baptist Association building, but soon out grew its surroundings. “We moved into and eventually bought two metal buildings at the rear of the parking lot behind Magnolia Funeral Home,� said the director. “Living Free Ministries is totally funded and supported by the community.�

They offer help for those dealing with life controlling issues through small group meetings and activities. “We meet at 6 p.m. on Monday nights and have a concerned persons group which meets at 7 p.m. on Tuesday nights,� said

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Today is Sunday, May 11, the 131st day of 2014. There are 234 days left in the year. This is Mother’s Day. Â

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 11, 1944, during World War II, Allied forces launched a major offensive against Axis lines in Italy.

On this date: In 1862, during the Civil War, the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia was scuttled by its crew off Craney Island, Virginia, to prevent it from falling into Union hands.

In 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was founded in Los Angeles.

In 1935, the Rural Electrification Administration was created as one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal programs.

In 1953, a tornado devastated Waco, Texas, claiming 114 lives.

In 1960, Israeli agents captured Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In 1973, the espionage trial of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo in the “Pentagon Papers� case came to an end as Judge William M. Byrne dismissed all charges, citing government misconduct.

It began with a burden to help others struggling with addiction, but blossomed into so much more.

When Living Free Ministries Founder and Director Tommy Wilson started his non-profit organization in February 2005, he hoped but never dreamed he would be able to reach so many in the community. “Through our support groups, I was able to help approximately 40 men and women last year,� said Wilson. “I hope to be able to increase the number to at least 60 to 70 people this year.�

LUNCHES CONTINUED FROM 1A

Service Supervisor Bill Urban told the board the Provision Two program would allow the district to offer free lunch district wide and still be reimbursed from the state for a percentage of lunches provided.

Director of Finance Misty Whittemore provided the board with some information regarding a possible tax increase to help cover the cost of the program. “To cover the preliminary amount, there needs to be a 5 to 7 percent tax increase,� said Whittemore. “We would need 1,500 signatures or 20 percent of the population supporting the increase before the vote would appear on a ballot.�

If passed, this would come as an increase to the ad valorem tax. Any increase less than

Living Free Ministries Administrative Assistant Don Vinson. “Our ‘Celebration Night’ is at 6 p.m. on Thursday nights and we hold a men’s Bible study group on Saturday mornings at 7 a.m.

Living Free has also started a faith-based Twelve Step Program which meets at lunch (11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.) on Tuesdays.

There is no cost to attend and all meetings are open to the public. “Our mission is to share hope, restore families and let others know they can get their lives straight,� said Wilson, who feels called to help others stay on track. “We do activities within

FEST 4 percent could be decided among the board and without voter input. Whittemore, however, believes an additional 4 percent would not cover the cost of additional free lunch.

Board member Randy Willbanks requested more information on the exact percentage of tax. “I think we need to know exactly what we’re asking out of our taxpayers before this goes any further,� said Wilbanks.

The figure Urban provided the district was based on 2012-13 school year enrollments and included the cost of universal free breakfast and lunch.

Last month, the board voted to approve a required lunch price increase required

by USDA. The price of lunch in the district will increase from $2.25 to $2.50 when school starts in August.

the school system, help mom’s regain custody of their children and help dad’s become role models.�

Free meals are offered on Monday and Thursday nights. “Sometimes people just come to get a meal and that’s okay with us. We want to help with any needs they may have,� said the ministries founder. “Even when Jesus formed his ministry, he got a group of supporters together. It’s nice to know you have a support system behind you,� he added.

Our View

A word of thanks to the people in our local extension office Alcorn County’s Mississippi Extension Office is celebrating a milestone in cooperative education history.

The office held an open house last week in the extension office next to Crossroads Arena. The occasion is the centennial celebration of the cooperative extension service, which is being observed by cooperatives across the country.

“We’re proud to be a part of this community,” Alcorn County Coordinator Patrick Poindexter told the Daily Corinthian.

Certainly all who deal with the local extension service will agree that we are glad they are part of the community as well.

In addition to Poindexter, who also serves as ANR Extension Agent 1V, the local staff members include Mary Linda Moore, Family Resource Manager Area Agent; Tammy Parker, FCS Extension Agent; and Office Associates Misti Crum and Evonne-Dye Grove.

We appreciate these folks for what they do for our community and the services provided by the extension office. The new building is another community asset, hosting many extension events and many others outside the relm of extension office such as health fairs, booth fairs and community events in need of a large indoor space.

Thanks also goes out to predecessors to Poindexter in the county agent role -- Stanley Wise, Robert Wolfe and Percy Hodges -- and all previous extension serivce employees The extension service’s roots go back to 1914, when the Smith-Lever Act provided funding for outreach endeavors at the LandGrant Universities founded by the Morrill Act of 1862. The intent was to expand the vocational, agricultural and home demonstration programs in rural America.

A happy 100th birthday salute goes out to all extension services and a word of appreciation for the folks in our local office.

E-cigarettes need regulation The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has waded gently into the debate about ecigarettes.

Rules proposed last week by the agency would prohibit sales to anyone under the age of 18, add warning labels about the addictive nature of nicotine, and require approval by the FDA of new products.

The FDA says that’s as far as it wants to go with regulations until more is known about the health effects of e-cigarettes.

The unknown is whether e-cigarettes, instead of helping people quit smoking, are actually a gateway to the real thing for previous non-smokers. Once hooked on nicotine, do users gravitate to paper and tobacco as their preferred method for satisfying their fix?

That’s why the ban on sales to minors is necessary, and long overdue.

Because there’s no ash and no odor with an e-cigarette, it makes it easier to get high and not be detected — both by teenagers at home and adults in the workplace.

Eventually, the science will catch up with ecigarettes and more will be learned about their health risks. When it does, expect more government regulations to follow. The worry is how long the window will be open, and how far the ecigarette makers will exploit it in the meantime.

Jones repels a war party attack The GOP Beltway establishment is celebrating the victory of Thom Tillis, Speaker of the North Carolina House, over his Tea Party and Evangelical rivals in Tuesday’s primary for the U.S. Senate.

But the story ended less happily for the Beltway elite in the Tar Heel State’s 3rd Congressional District.

There, the planned purge of Rep. Walter Jones was repulsed by his loyal Republican base.

Yet, this massively funded effort, to kill the career of a 20-year House veteran, whose father held the seat for decades before him, testifies eloquently to the intolerance of the ideological and monied elite of the party to which conservatives give allegiance.

Reportedly, a million dollars of super PAC money poured into the 3rd, from Republicans, in support of a brazen Big Lie campaign to paint Walter Jones as a liberal. But what is the Congressman’s real record?

In the Bush I era, he voted against No Child Left Behind.

In the Obama years, he voted against Obamacare and the bailouts of the big banks, Wall Street and Detroit. He voted against cap and trade, and TARP, the trillion-dollar stimulus package.

Jones voted against every increase in the debt ceiling in 10 years and refuses to vote for any U.S. budget not in balance. He stands against same-sex marriage,

has a 100 percent rating from National Right to Life, and receives a consistent Patrick A from the Buchanan NRA. A national Columnist organization opposing illegal immigration gives Jones an A+ for battling to secure America’s borders and block amnesty.

FreedomWorks cited Jones last year as the most conservative member of the North Carolina delegation and one of the 10 most conservative members of the House. And he had the endorsement of Dot Helms, widow of conservative legend Jesse Helms.

Why, then, was the Beltway elite so determined to destroy Jones that they spent a million dollars backing a Bush II apparatchik turned K Street lobbyist who moved only last year to the district?

Why was the War Party determined to kill Walter Jones?

First, Jones has voted for years to end foreign aid, a capital crime to the Israeli lobby AIPAC. Second, though Jones was so pro-war in 2003 that when France opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq he had the House dining room rename French fries “freedom fries,” when the caskets began to come home he starting having second thoughts.

Walter Jones came to believe that voting to send

Americans to fight and die in Iraq was the worst mistake of his career.

So now Rep. Jones spends hours each weekend writing personal letters to every family that lost a son or daughter in a war he wrongly supported. And he has resolved to oppose every idiotic war into which his country is being stampeded.

Walter Jones is a propeace conservative, a principled patriot who votes his convictions, puts his country first, and refuses to take dictation from the War Party.

And that is why the War Party front, the “Emergency Committee for Israel,” chaired by Bill Kristol, leading tub-thumper for a war that cost 4,500 American lives, funneled hundreds of thousands into attack ads in one Congressional District in North Carolina to kill the career of one congressman.

And that is why Ending Spending Action Fund, a super PAC led by billionaire Joe Ricketts and backed by the Macau-Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, dumped scores of thousands into the 3rd District to deceive voters into believing that Walter Jones is a liberal.

Describing the Beltway coalition that tried to end the career of Rep. Jones, Ronald Reagan’s Budget Director David Stockman writes: “The whole Bush White House crowd that destroyed the GOP’s commitment to fiscal discipline, bailed-out Wall Street and GM and

launched disastrous wars ... joined the attack. The heavy artillery included ...

Karl Rove, former Governor and RNC chair Haley Barber and the War Party’s highly paid chief PR flack, Ari Fleischer.”

Consider what the GOP establishment and the Adelson-Kristol neocons are telling Republicans nationally with this wilding attack on a venerable veteran of the Republican House.

They are saying: You can be for amnesty for illegal aliens, support same-sex marriage, be pro-choice on abortion, and you can still be welcome in our party.

But oppose foreign aid or resist the War Party agenda, and you are a heretic who should and shall be purged.

With this massive intervention in North Carolina, not to elect some outstanding new candidate, but to kill the career of one defiant dissenter, the GOP establishment is sending a message to the Republican base: Our “Big Tent” is not big enough to include Walter Jones.

But if that is true of Walter Jones, what does that say to a nation that has come to agree with Walter Jones that America should mind her own business and stop fighting other countries’ wars?

Who is out of touch with America here?

Supreme Court rules 5-4 on public prayer Ever since the Supreme Court ruled organized prayer and Bible study in public schools unconstitutional in the early 1960s, conservative Christians have been trying to re-enter the secular arena.

Take Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971). The case, The New York Times wrote last year, “...challenged a 1968 Pennsylvania law that reimbursed religious schools for some expenses, including teachers’ salaries and textbooks, so long as they related to instruction on secular subjects also taught in the public schools. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger ... said the law violated the First Amendment’s prohibition of government establishment of religion. The ruling set out what came to be known as the Lemon test, which requires courts to consider whether the challenged government practice has a secular purpose, whether its primary effect is to advance or inhibit religion, and whether it fosters excessive government entanglement with religion.”

Monday’s 5-4 ruling by the Court upholding prayer at government meetings may have stretched the

Lemon test.

Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the prayers Cal offered at a Thomas town council meeting in Columnist Greece, New York, are ceremonial and in keeping with the nation’s traditions.

If prayer is largely “ceremonial” and “traditional” then it has lost all meaning.

Since 1999, the Greece town council has opened a majority of their meetings with Christian prayers. Two people recently complained about the sectarian nature of the prayers and filed a lawsuit. In response, the town council began inviting members of other faiths to pray.

This case reinforces what the Founders had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment. Having experienced the negative effects on religion from a state church in England, they sought to prevent government from meddling in religion in America. They struck a brilliant balance in the establishment and free exercise clauses. Govern-

ment would not establish a state church and believers (and nonbelievers) could freely exercise their personal faith (or lack thereof).

When the state defines what constitutes legitimate religion, the free exercise of faith suffers and the government violates the establishment clause by defining legitimate religious practice.

The Greece town council, apparently more interested in seeking approval from the state than from God, was willing to water down its prayers in order to maintain a “tradition” and win Supreme Court approval.

Why not just pray “to whom it may concern”?

Justices tried to draw distinctions between the prayers said before opening sessions of Congress (OK because Congress gets to make its own rules and Members are free to join in, or not), and a Christian prayer uttered at a public high school graduation (ruled unconstitutional in 1992).

There is nothing to prevent and much to recommend elected officials praying in private before a meeting. If the intent is to seek God and His direction, that is the proper way to do

it, according to no less an authority than Jesus of Nazareth, who said: “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.

Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:6) Jesus also rebuked the Pharisees when He said in verse 5 of the same chapter: “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.

Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”

While public prayers may be constitutionally acceptable, according to the 5-4 majority, there is a Higher Power that takes a dimmer view of them.

God save (and put some common sense into) this honorable court and town councils everywhere. Maybe we should pray, privately, toward that end.

Pregnant women gain options under health law

BY RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The health care law has opened up an unusual opportunity for some mothers-to-be to save on medical bills for childbirth.

Lower-income women who signed up for a private policy in the new insurance exchanges will have access to additional coverage from their state’s Medicaid program if they get pregnant. Some women could save hundreds of dollars on their share of hospital and doctor bills.

Medicaid already pays for nearly half of U.S. births, but this would create a way for the safetynet program to supplement private insurance for many expectant mothers.

Officials and advocates say the enhanced

coverage will be available across the country, whether or not a state expands Medicaid under the health law. However, states have different income cutoffs for eligibility, ranging from near the poverty line to solid middle class.

The main roadblock right now seems to be logistical: reprogramming state and federal computer systems to recognize that certain pregnant women have a legal right to coverage both from Medicaid and private plans on the insurance exchange. Technically, they can pick one or the other, or a combination.

States and insurers will have to sort out who pays for what.

Another big challenge will be educating the public about this latest health law wrinkle. It’s compli-

cated for officials and policy experts, let alone the average consumer. “This is an issue where women are going to have to figure out, ‘I’m eligible for both, now how do I do that?’� said Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors, which represents state programs. “But what a wonderful problem to have. This is a great problem to have from the consumer’s perspective.�

The cost impact for federal and state taxpayers is uncertain. Providing more generous coverage increases costs, but comprehensive prenatal care can save money by preventing premature births and birth defects.

Cynthia Pellegrini, head of the March of Dimes’ Washington office, said many women might not

have been thinking about maternity benefits when they signed up for coverage under the health law.

After all, half of U.S. pregnancies are unplanned.

Often consumers just focus on the monthly premium when they select a plan.

The cost of normal uncomplicated childbirth averages $5,000, said Pellegrini, and preterm births can cost more than 10 times that. Copayments and deductibles add up fast. “A lot of women, particularly in a situation like childbirth, could end up with significant out-ofpocket costs,� Pellegrini said. “If they are eligible for Medicaid, they could be protected from costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.�

Her group works to pre-

don’t have a health plan on the job. The law, however, drew a line between Medicaid and coverage through the exchanges: If you’re eligible for Medicaid you generally can’t get government-subsidized private insurance.

That barrier fell away when the Treasury Department ruled that Medicaid’s targeted insurance for pregnant women did not meet the definition of “minimum essential coverage� required by the health law. That’s because the coverage is temporary and states can restrict the services the pay for.

The ruling last summer opened the possibility for pregnant women to tap both benefit programs, said Dipti Singh, an attorney with the National Health Law Program in Los Angeles.

vent birth defects by promoting healthy pregnancies.

Existing Medicaid policies, subsidized private coverage under President Barack Obama’s law and an obscure Treasury Department ruling combined to produce the new options for pregnant women.

Medicaid is a federalstate program that covers low-income and disabled people. Before the health law, states offered special, time-limited coverage to uninsured pregnant women until their children were born. That coverage is not only for poor women; some states provide benefits to middleclass women as well.

Then came the Affordable Care Act, with federally subsidized private insurance for people who

Don’t wait until tomorrow to tell the people you love DEAR ABBY: My sister faced various life-threatening illnesses. She always said, “Never put off telling the people you love how you feel about them because you might not have a tomorrow.” She practiced what she preached, and we all knew that she loved us. When she passed away eight years ago, it was a painful loss, especially for our mother.

Last week Mom finally succeeded in talking Dad into opening a stuck drawer in a cabinet. Inside she found a letter from my sister that had been put away and forgotten years ago. In the letter my sister wrote how blessed she felt she was to have a mother like ours, how all the sacrifices Mom made for her had been appreciated and how much she loved her.

That long-forgotten letter is now my mother’s most

prized possession.

Please remind your readers not to take tomorAbigail row for Van Buren granted, and to tell Dear Abby those they love how they feel TODAY. — JULIE’S SISTER IN LOUISVILLE, KY. DEAR SISTER: The loving message your sister wrote has conveyed her feelings from beyond the grave, and it is understandable that it is even more meaningful now than when it was written. I’m glad to remind readers to verbalize their affection for each other. But the written word is something that can be savored over and over.

DEAR ABBY: I have

been with my partner for six years. She is 14 years older than I am. We get along great and have a wonderful relationship.

“Marsha” and I live in a small Southern city. She is well-known and politically active. While everyone knows she is gay, they rarely realize I’m her partner because I look much younger. We are often approached with, “Oh, is this your daughter?”

How are we supposed to respond? Marsha and I work in the same place, so it happens there, too.

It’s awkward. — AIN’T MY MAMA DEAR AIN’T: Because Marsha is a public person and it’s no secret she’s gay, when the two of you are asked if you are mother and daughter, Marsha should reply, “No, she is my partner.” (And ask them to spread the word.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). How do you know something is really good?

That’s easy. You can’t hold onto it. If it’s really good, you have to keep creating a relationship with it over and over.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your heart is happy even though your circumstances aren’t exactly what you wanted. In the end, you’ll likely decide that the strange twist things took was for the best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What delights your imagination may not delight you if you were to try it in real life, but the fantasy still positively affects your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The need for approval and acceptance is basic.

You may wish you didn’t

want them from certain people, but you do. That doesn’t make you weak; it makes you human.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Your reactions to things may take longer than usual because you want to let things sink in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You’ll get the cooperation you need to launch a venture or at least to put a few of the preliminaries in place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may be tempted to close a door when openness would create a better outcome. The uncomfortable choice is the right one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). After you make your point -- and you will have many to make over the course of the day -- don’t forget to wait for a re-

sponse.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Much will depend on your ability to reasonably assess what is possible to accomplish in a given amount of time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). It may feel as though you are working at cross-purposes with another, and yet you really have more common ground than you think. Talk it out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have dealings with artificial intelligence that is not smart in the way you need it to be, and it will be your natural intelligence that sets things straight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s a huge swell of emotion that fills your chest when you think about doing what you love.

Memphis’ Ballentine is Mr. Irrelevant

BY KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON — Lonnie Ballentine didn’t know much about the term Mr. Irrelevant before he was taken by the Houston Texans with the final pick in the NFL draft on Saturday.

When he realized that’s how he would be known this year, the Memphis safety took it in stride.

“Mr. Irrelevant is fine with me,” he said. “Just being drafted to the NFL is a dream come true, something that I’ve been wanting to do my whole life.

It is an opportunity to show people you are relevant.”

Houston opened this year’s draft by taking South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney with the first overall pick and finished it off by selecting Ballentine with pick No. 256.

Ballentine will be honored with a trip to Disneyland and many Irrelevant Week events in Newport Beach, California, this summer. He had no clue about all the perks that came with bringing up the rear in the draft.

He was emotional while on a conference call with reporters in Houston and said: “tears are still running down my face as we speak because I can’t believe it.”

The 6-foot-3, 219-pound Ballentine had 58 tackles last season for the Tigers. Houston coach Bill O’Brien was excited about adding him to his team.

“He’s a guy that can run,” O’Brien said. “He’s a guy that’s a physical player so to me he’s a versatile guy that can obviously help us on defense but maybe go down in the box a little bit in a linebacker-type position and obviously special teams. He was a guy that we had targeted.”

He said he watched the entire draft in excruciating suspense.

“Every pick,” he said. “I see 255 guys go by and I’m like: ‘Ah man this is not good.’”

But after he was drafted he was glad he did that.

“I wanted to see every player that went in front of me and I’m going to remember that and that’s how I’m going to work and be motivated to come in and prove everyone wrong,” he said.

Atlanta blanks Chicago

BY CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Ervin Santana pitched five-hit ball for seven innings to remain unbeaten, Ryan Doumit snapped a scoreless tie with a pinch-hit double in the seventh and the Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 on Saturday night.

Santana (4-0) overcame a rain delay of 1 hour, 7 minutes in the third inning and outlasted Cubs right-hander Jeff Samardzija, who had his long winless streak continue.

Samardzija lowered his ERA to 1.45, second in the NL, but he is still without a win this season.

Santana walked one and struck out seven. Samardzija allowed only two hits with one walk and seven strikeouts in six innings.

BY BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK — It took a few hours on the final day of the NFL draft for A.J. McCarron, Aaron Murray and Zach Mettenberger to finally hear their names called.

It took much longer, but Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to enter the draft, heard his in the seventh and final round.

Sam was taken 249th out of 256 picks, by St. Louis.

There was applause at Radio City Music Hall from the slim crowd on hand.

Premier League ends with 10 simultaneous games

BY RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

Arlo White might encourage viewers to change the channel.

White is the play-by-play announcer Sunday for the Premier League match between Manchester City and West Ham United on NBC. At the same time, Liverpool will be facing Newcastle on NBCSN, and White plans to keep his audience updated on how that game is going — and what that means for the title race.

Ten matches will air simultaneously on 10 different NBCUniversal networks on Championship Sunday. In the first season of its three-year, $250 million deal to broadcast English soccer’s top league in the U.S., NBC has embraced the value of offering viewers choices.

squeeze bunt.

After being hit by the pitch from Samardzija, Upton ran to first base but, after being checked by Braves trainer Jeff Lovell, walked slowly off the field in apparent pain.

Upton had another injury scare in the fourth inning. He appeared to hurt his lower back when he tagged Anthony Rizzo at the end of a long run-down between first and second. Upton ran in from the outfield to help on the play. Rizzo collided with Upton, who then bent over and reached for his lower back but remained in the game.

The run-down play helped keep the Cubs from scoring following a leadoff single by Ryan Kalish. As Kalish advanced to third on Rizzo’s single, the throw from right fielder Jason Heyward was

headed toward third base and Rizzo tried to advance to second. Simmons cut off Heyward’s throw, starting the run-down play.

Kalish was stranded on third base as Castro hit a fly to shallow right field, Valbuena walked and Wellington Castillo struck out.

The Cubs also left a runner at third base in the second inning. Castro led off the inning with a double but Santana retired the next three batters.

Samardzija’s winless streak was extended to 13 starts. His last victory came on Aug. 24, 2013, at San Diego.

be drafted at all.

“I knew I was going to get picked somewhere,” Sam said. “Every team that passed me, I was thinking how I’m going to sack their quarterback.”

The star quarterbacks of the SEC went earlier, but will be long shots to become early starters in the pros.

McCarron led Alabama to two national titles, but had to wait until the 164th overall spot to be selected by Cincinnati. Georgia’s Murray went one pick earlier Saturday to Kansas City. LSU’s Mettenberger didn’t go until the sixth round, to Tennessee.

Virginia Tech’s Logan Thomas, not nearly as accomplished as the SEC passers, was the first QB chosen on

the last day, by Arizona in the fourth round.

Murray had a penchant for big plays with the Bulldogs, but the SEC’s career passing leader tore his ACL on Nov. 8 and did not work out during the NFL combine. He figures to compete for a third-string job this year.

“There’s no restrictions, no second thought when I’m running, cutting,” Murray said. “It’s full-speed, full-go ahead.”

McCarron expects to learn behind Andy Dalton, who led the Bengals to three straight playoff berths for the first time in franchise history.

“I’m confident in myself, but at the same time, I know Andy’s the QB out there and I respect that,” McCarron said.

“All I want to do is go in and help us in whatever way I can.

If that means me holding the clipboard for a couple of years and giving Andy reports during the week and watching film with him and helping him in any way I can, I’m just ready to do it.”

Thomas comes out of school healthy, but the inconsistency that plagued his career hurt his draft stock. Thomas never really improved to the level expected with the Hokies after a strong debut. He’s big, with a strong arm, but is turnover prone.

“I’ve grown as a quarterback in this offseason,” Thomas said. “Everybody’s basing it off the season, which Please see DRAFT | 9A

Spieth goes bogey-free and ties Kaymer at Players AP Golf Writer

LOS ANGELES — Bermane Stiverne completed his long journey to a heavyweight title with one more punishing victory.

Stiverne stopped Chris Arreola in the sixth round Saturday night, claiming the WBC heavyweight title belt vacated by Vitali Klitschko.

Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs) dropped Arreola twice in the sixth, and the Haitian-born fighter was punishing Arreola again when referee Jack Reiss stopped the fight with 58 seconds left in the round.

The Klitschko brothers had held every major heavyweight title for the past six years. Vitali’s retirement into Ukrainian politics in December opened the WBC belt for the 35-yearold Stiverne, a late bloomer who hasn’t lost in 13 consecutive fights.

After beating Arreola by decision last year, Stiverne hadn’t fought in nearly 13 months while waiting for Klitschko’s decision to retire.

Braves left fielder Justin Upton is day to day with a lower back muscle bruise after being hit by a pitch from Samardzija in the sixth and leaving the game.

Braves closer Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 10th save.

Kimbrel, who blew a 2-1 lead in the ninth in the Braves’ 3-2 win in 10 innings on Friday night, was back in form. He walked Starlin Castro with two outs before striking out Luis Valbuena to end the game.

The Braves scored two runs in the seventh off right-hander Brian Schlitter (2-1). Following singles by Chris Johnson and Andrelton Simmons, Doumit pinch hit for Santana and drove in Johnson with his double. Simmons scored on Tyler Pastornicky’s suicide

Stiverne stops Arreola to win WBC crown

Sunday, May 11, 2014

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Jordan Spieth couldn’t see any of the 240 yards to the green on the toughest hole at the TPC Sawgrass. He was in the rough so far right of the 14th fairway that he was closer to a water hazard on No. 12 that he didn’t know even existed. His ball was on the back side of a mound. One wrong move could have led to a big number.

“Probably the best shot I’ve

hit here this week,” Spieth said Saturday.

The contact was perfect.

The ball landed about pinhigh in a bunker, setting up another par.

It was like that all day at The Players Championship.

Every time the 20-yearold Texan landed in trouble, he answered with a recovery shot, a chip-and-run, and always a putt that kept him without a bogey through 54 holes and gave him a share of the lead with Martin Kaymer

going into the final round.

Spieth’s final act was an escape through the trees on the 18th hole and a 12-foot par putt from the fringe for a 1-under 71. Kaymer missed his par putt from just inside 10 feet on the final hole and had to settle for a 72.

They were at 12-under 204, three shots clear of former Players winner Sergio Garcia (69) and John Senden (68).

Not since Greg Norman won The Players in 1994 has anyone gone through the

opening three rounds without a bogey. Then again, Spieth has shown over the last year that he is capable of remarkable feats.

“I didn’t play with him the first two days, but there were a couple today where you think it’s a tough one to save par, and he always pulled it off,” Kaymer said. “If it wasn’t a brilliant chip, it was a good putt. So it’s very tough to beat those guys that don’t make Please see PLAYERS | 9A

Gordon pulls away late for win at Kansas Speedway

BY DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — At any age, Jeff Gordon sure knows how to win.

Nearly two decades after he burst onto the scene with his first victory, Gordon keeps taking checkered flags, storming to the lead in the final laps at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night for his first victory of the season and 89th overall in NASCAR’s top series.

The 42-year-old Gordon held off a hard-charging Kevin Harvick on the final lap to move into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.

Gordon won for the first time since October at Martinsville and became the ninth driver to win in the first 11 races this season. He entered the race with the points lead, but exclaimed a weight was lifted off his shoulders as he crossed the finish line for

his third Kansas victory.

“I’m just so proud of (the 24 team). They have been giving me the best race cars all year long,” Gordon said. “I have been having so much fun. I’m going to be 43 this year and I feel like I’m 25 again. That is the way they make me feel.”

Kasey Kahne was third, followed by Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Danica Patrick was seventh for her best career Cup finish.

Gordon built his points

lead on the strength of four top-fives and seven top-10s in the first 10 races — including second-place finishes at Texas and Richmond — but he knew how much one win would ease pressure on his Hendrick Motorsports team.

He got it under the lights at Kansas.

“This is so sweet,” he said.

“What a huge weight lifted off this team’s shoulders.

We needed to get to Victory Lane.”

Nets cool Miami Heat, cut East semifinal deficit to 2-1

BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — Two losses in Miami didn’t faze Paul Pierce, nor did 16 quick points by LeBron James.

The postseason, Pierce said repeatedly, is no time to panic. And the Heat, apparently, are nothing to fear.

“We’re not scared of them,” Pierce said.

Joe Johnson scored 19 points, Andray Blatche had career playoff highs of 15 points and 10 rebounds, and the Brooklyn Nets handed the Heat their first loss this postseason, 104-90 on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Pierce scored 14 points, Deron Williams and Kevin Garnett bounced back from awful offensive efforts, and the Nets withstood James’ 16-point first quarter and

held him to two baskets over the final three quarters.

“Tonight was the type of urgency we’re going to need for the rest of the series,” Pierce said.

Brooklyn, which swept Miami in the regular season, can tie the series with a victory at home Monday night in Game 4.

“I think this is a must-win coming up Monday,” Garnett said. “If we want to give ourselves any type of room ... any type of chance, I think that we’ve definitely got to take care of home.”

James scored 28 points for the Heat, who hadn’t even faced a fourth-quarter deficit in these playoffs before having their eight-game winning streak in the postseason snapped. It was their first loss since Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

The two-time defending champions were having an easy path to another finals, winning their last four games by double digits. But the Nets shook off the Heat’s sizzling start, then held them to 33 points over the middle two quarters to take control.

“I’ve been part of a lot of series and understand that the series is never won in two games or in three games,” James said. “And you move onto the next one and you learn from the previous one how you can get better.”

Mirza Teletovic and Shaun Livingston each scored 12 points for the Nets in their first home postseason victory ever against the Heat. Teletovic made four of Brooklyn’s 15 3-pointers.

Williams, 0 for 9 in Game 2, shot just 3 for 11 but finished with nine points and 11

assists. Garnett, just 2 for 10 for four total points in Miami, shot 5 of 6 for 10 points and seven rebounds.

Dwyane Wade scored 20 points and James grabbed eight rebounds, but his night fell well short of what it could have been after his ferocious first quarter.

He made a free throw to bring Miami to 59-56 in the third quarter, but Teletovic made a 3-pointer, followed by baskets by Blatche, Johnson and Livingston to make it 6856. Teletovic made two more 3s and Williams knocked down another before the end of the quarter, which ended with the Nets ahead 77-63.

Teletovic opened the fourth with another 3, and Alan Anderson hit a pair later in the period while also getting in a skirmish with Ray Allen that led to double technical fouls.

I understand. That’s what’s on film. But this offseason was a chance I was able to really go refine some things.”

In all, 14 quarterbacks were selected.

Early Saturday, many picks had ties to Clemson star receiver Sammy Watkins.

Watkins, the fourth overall selection in the first round by Buffalo, saw his older brother, Florida cornerback Jaylen Watkins, taken by Philadelphia to open the fourth round. Philadelphia acquired the selection the previous day from Houston, trading its third-round pick (No. 83) for the Texans’ fourth- and fifth-round spots.

“Today is a very big day for our family,” Jaylen said. “I texted him (Thursday) before he went on stage and he just texted me ... we’re both excited for each other.

We can’t complain about anything that happened this year for us.”

The next pick, by Washington, was Sammy Watkins’ college teammate, cornerback Bashaud Breeland, who went up against the nation’s top wideout in practice for several years at Clemson.

Watkins’ fellow receiver with the Tigers, Martavis Bryant, also went in the fourth round, to Pittsburgh.

Andre Williams of Boston College, the nation’s leading rusher,

went to the New York Giants, whose backfield has been plagued by injuries. Williams rushed for 2,177 yards and won the Doak Walker Award as America’s top running back in 2013, but he is considered a weak receiver.

“Patience is a really valuable thing,” Williams said. “It worked out the best possible way it could, no matter what round it ended up being.”

Arizona’s Ka’Deem Carey, like Williams, an All-American runner, was taken four spots later by Chicago. Oregon’s De’Anthony Thomas went to Kansas City, ostensibly to replace departed Dexter McCluster.

National champion Florida State had two players go in the first five picks Saturday: running back Devonta Freeman to Atlanta, and center Bryan Stork, another All-American, to New England.

Big 12 power Oklahoma, which was blanked in the first three rounds, broke through when the New York Jets drafted receiver Jalen Saunders.

Another powerhouse program, Texas, did not have anyone taken, although its former quarterback, Garrett Gilbert, who transferred to SMU, was chosen at the end of the sixth round.

While the Longhorns were looking for someone to be picked, Duke had a drafted player.

trying to end more than two years without winning.

“It’s very important that you enjoy the day,” Kaymer said. “It’s a rare opportunity that you’re in the leading group one of the biggest tournaments we play all year.”

For Spieth, who still didn’t have a PGA Tour card last year, the final group is familiar territory. He has contended on the weekend in four tournaments already this year, and only a month ago had a two-shot lead with 11 holes to play in the Masters until he finished in a tie for second behind Bubba Watson.

mistakes. ... Seems like he doesn’t make many mistakes.” Kaymer wasn’t too shabby on the toughest day all week at Sawgrass — warm, humid, blustery and increasingly frightening. He picked up a pair of birdies on the front nine to build a two-shot lead, only to lost two birdie opportunities on the par 5s on the back nine.

Even when he heard a few cheers after missing his par putt on the 18th, which allowed Spieth to share the lead, Kaymer was in a good spot. A former world No. 1 and major champion, Kaymer is

“Augusta left me feeling a little hungry for it again, and here we are,” Spieth said. “And I have an opportunity to kind of really draw back on that round and the positives, the negatives and everything in between and go out there tomorrow and try and play the same way I played the first two rounds.” Even so, he knows he’ll have to play better and possibly score better. There were some good bounces — a soft bounce on a wedge at the 16th that possibly prevented his ball from going into the water — and some good breaks, such as getting a free drop

from a drain in the rough that took pine trees out of his line on the 15th.

Spieth repeatedly pumped his fist when his final par putt dropped into the cup, a clutch moment worth celebrating. He now has gone 69 consecutive holes dating to Hilton Head without making a bogey. The question is whether that streak can last as the pressure increases.

“I was all over the place,” Spieth said. “In order to win, I’m going to have to drive the ball better. Today I got the breaks, got the bounces, and made the 3- and 4-footers to stay alive.

BY PAUL WISEMAN AND JOE MCDONALD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After watching China narrow the U.S. lead as the world’s largest economy, Americans might be tempted to cheer signs that the Chinese economy might be stumbling.

Any schadenfreude would be short-sighted.

In an interconnected global economy, bad news for one economic superpower is typically bad news for another — even a fierce rival.

“It hurts,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at

Moody’s Analytics. “China is the second-largest economy on the planet. If growth slows there, it affects everybody.”

Zandi estimates that each 1 percentage point drop in China’s economic growth causes as much damage to the U.S. economy as a $20-a-barrel increase in oil prices: It shaves 0.2 percentage point off annual U.S. growth.

That isn’t catastrophic. But to regain its full health nearly five years after the Great Recession officially ended, the U.S. economy needs whatever

help it can get.

A sharp slowdown in China also threatens the 28-member European Union, which outweighs even the United States if measured as a single economy. China is the EU’s second-largest export market behind the United States.

A stream of economic news from China has been rattling financial markets.

Chinese manufacturing slowed in April for a fourth straight month. A Chinese lending bubble, driven by overbuilding, is stirring alarm. China’s growth in the JanuaryMarch quarter slowed to 7.4 percent compared with a year earlier. It was its slowest quarterly growth since the 20082009 global crisis.

For most economies, 7.4 percent growth would qualify as explosive. The U.S. economy hasn’t grown as fast as 7 percent since 1984. But for China, a still-developing econo-

Apple’s pursuit of Beats Electronics is the latest indication that the company is having trouble generating growth on its own. Apple already sells Beats Electronics gear in its stores, giving the company insights into how much the trendy headphones and other audio equipment appeal to its customers.

The negotiations also are taking place as the music market increasingly tilts toward streaming and away from the downloads that once drove the success of Apple’s digital music store, iTunes.

U.S. revenue from downloads — which iTunes dominates — dropped 1 percent to $2.8 billion in 2013, while streaming music revenue from the likes of Pandora and Spotify soared 39 percent to $1.4 billion, according to the Recording Industry Association of

While downloads still command 40 percent of the market, streaming revenue now accounts for 20 percent of total revenue, up from just 3 percent in 2007.

Beats Electronics LLC was founded in Santa Monica, California in 2008 by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Its headphones were manufactured by Monster Cable until the two companies parted ways in 2012. The headphones have become a bit of status symbol worn by celebrities as well as audiophiles.

In 2012, Beats bought streaming music service MOG, which it transformed and relaunched as Beats Music earlier this year. The launch was fueled by a landmark partnership with AT&T that allowed up to five family members to pay $15 a month for the service as long as they were AT&T wireless customers. The deal broke the industry mold of charging each person $10 per month.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is orchestrating a $3.2 billion acquisition of Beats Electronics, the headphone maker and music streaming distributor founded by hip-hop star Dr. Dre and record producer Jimmy Iovine, according to a published report.

Citing people familiar with the negotiations, The Financial Times says Apple could announce the deal as early as next week.

In its report posted online late Thursday, the newspaper warned the talks could still collapse if the two sides can’t agree on some final details.

Both Apple Inc. and Beats Electronics declined to comment to The Associated Press.

The potential acquisition would add Beats Electronics’ popular line of headphones and music streaming service to an Apple line-up that already includes digital music players and the iTunes store, the world’s top mu-

sic retailer.

If the deal is completed, it would be by far the largest purchase in Apple Inc.’s 38-year history.

The Cupertino company has traditionally seen little need to buy technology from other companies, reflecting Apple’s confidence in its ability to turn its own ideas into revolutionary products such as the Mac computer, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. But Apple hasn’t released a breakthrough product since its former CEO and chief visionary, Steve Jobs, died in October 2011. The innovative void has increased the pressure on Jobs’ hand-picked successor, Tim Cook, to prove he is capable of sustaining the success and growth that turned Apple into the world’s most valuable company and a beloved brand.

Cook has shown a willingness to spend more of Apple’s money than Job ever did. Among other things, Cook began paying Apple stockholders a

my that clocked doubledigit growth through much of the 2000s, the latest figures qualify as a slump.

And Americans and Chinese are linked ever more tightly economically.

They buy each other’s products, invest in each other’s markets, visit each other’s tourist attractions.

U.S.-China trade in goods last year totaled $562 billion. China is the United States’ second-biggest trading partner and the No. 1 source of U.S. imports, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Consider: ■ The number of Chinese visitors to America jumped 23 percent last year to 1.8 million. And the Chinese spend an average of about $6,000 a visit — more than tourists from any other country.

“Shopping is the No. 1 activity for Chinese tourists,” says Jolin Zhou of Sunshine Travel, a Boston travel agency that specializes in Chinese tourists.

■ Chinese investment in U.S. businesses, factories and real estate — tangible things, not including stocks, bonds and other financial instruments — has gone from virtually nothing a decade ago to $14 billion last year, according to the Rhodium Group, a consultancy.

More than 70,000 Americans work at Chinese companies in the United States, up from almost none in 2000.

■ U.S. exports of goods to China have doubled since 2006 to a record $122 billion last year. In 2013, U.S. companies earned a record $9.7 billion in China.

China’s economy is slowing as it shifts away from growth based on exports and investment in real estate and factories and toward growth fueled by consumer spending.

The country is also contending with a surge in debt fueled by loans from state-owned banks. Outstanding credit has surged from the equivalent of 130 percent of China’s economy in 2008 to 200 percent last year, according to Capital Economics.

In Europe, companies are vulnerable to a further slowdown in China because of how much their trade there has expanded.

China is especially key for Germany’s three luxury automakers — Daimler’s Mercedes brand, Volkswagen’s Audi and BMW.

Bladesmith loves turning steel, wood into knives

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

RIENZI — Frontier hero Daniel Boone was the focus of the late 1960s family favorite TV series.

One of the show’s biggest fans was young Russell White.

The 9-year-old son of a farmer wanted a knife just like Boone used on his TV show.

“My dad always told me, ‘We just can’t afford it right now,’” said White, as he remembered his childhood. “I finally decided I was gonna try to make a Daniel Boone knife by myself.”

White used his dad’s old bench grinder to piece together the future blacksmith’s first knife.

With the importance of cars and girls ... then family and work, White lost his love for knife making as he grew up.

“About 10 years ago,” said White, “I kinda got the itch to make a knife.”

While on vacation with his wife Crystal and three kids, Tyler, 19, Alexis, 15, and Brody, 10, White ended up in a Gulf Shores knife shop. He returned home with a piece of steel and wood for a handle.

Since then, the State of Mississippi meat inspector hasn’t slowed down, creating high quality handmade knives through the traditional art of knife forging.

“Forging a knife is a long process. It takes a lot of patience and know how,” said White. “I normally start with a 4-foot wide section of 1084 grade high carbon steel that I place inside the forge to heat it up.”

White’s makeshift forge heated by propane gas must reach 2,100 degrees before he can start the process. A ceramic insulation inside the forge ensures the heat stays inside. The same blade may be reheated several times to get the perfect shape.

“After I heat up the bar, I flatten it out with a hammer,” he said. “The hammering and shaping of the steel is important.

I then grind the blade to ensure it isn’t uneven in any spots.”

Next White places the blade in a 1,500 degree oven for heat treatment.

He’ll then dip the blade in a vat of oil to harden it.

“When done, if the blade doesn’t look right, I’ll grind it and hammer it more,” he added.

White then begins attaching the handle to the blade.

“I’ve used everything when making a knife handle, from maple and rosewood to fossilized ivory and camel bone,” said White. “I also do all the leatherwork myself, but Jim Hastings has helped me.”

The bladesmith has also started working with damascus, which is the process where several layers of steel are folded together to create a stronger

Russell White Bladesmith knife.

“I try to improve with every knife I make,” added White. “Working with damascus is harder and is helping me become a better knife maker.”

He is currently working toward earning a journeyman bladesmith acknowledgment from the American Bladesmith Society.

“I’m doing the performance part of the test in a few months,” he said.

“With a knife I made, I have to be able to cut a 1-inch rope with one swing, chop two pine 2-by-4s and still be able to cut hair off my arm.”

The test has to be performed in front of a journeyman mastersmith, which is the highest ranking position in the society.

White stays busy with custom job requests he receives at festivals and events.

He credits Corinth’s Green Market for some of his most recent success.

“The Green Market was my first place I ever setup to sell my knives,” he said.

“I still set up there whenever I can.”

White also spends time setting up and visiting gun and knife shows around the region including the Batson Bladesmithing Symposium in Alabama.

It was at last month’s annual Batson event where White tried his hand at a cutting competition ... and won.

“I had to cut golf balls, 2-by-4s and toilet paper all with a blade I forged,” said White. “It was a lot of fun and I think it helped me learn a few more things about how to make a better knife.”

The knife maker is sure of one thing ... he loves his hobby, as much as he loved that Daniel Boone TV show as a kid.

“Forging knives is an amazing process and I love being a part of it,” White said.

An important step in the process comes when the blade is grinded to ensure it isn’t uneven in any spots.

Over the last 10 years, bladesmith Russell White hasn’t slowed down creating high quality, handmade knives.

Loyal to zip-up Godzilla, Japan remains wary of US remake

BY YURI KAGEYAMA AP Business Writer

TOKYO — The bigscreen Godzilla that scared and thrilled viewers in 1954 was an actor in a rubber suit with a zipper up its back. And many Japanese fans still prefer that monster over a Hollywood version made in terrifying, full 3-D computergraphics glory.

“American Godzilla is just a giant iguana freaking out,” says Mudai Nozaki, 30, who believes Godzilla is Japan’s greatest contribution to cinematic history next to “Seven Samurai” and “Kagemusha” director

Akira Kurosawa.

His reaction is surprisingly typical among Japanese who have seen the trailer of the film, titled simply “Godzilla,” which premieres May 16 in the U.S. and in July in Japan.

They wonder if the Warner Bros. remake will be a tribute or an embarrassment for Japan’s monstrous legacy.

Japanese Godzilla-lovers say their iconic hero falls into a special phantasmal category called “kaiju,” which have more imaginary, far-fetched traits than what they see as more mundane mon-

sters like King Kong or Frankenstein.

And the Hollywood version is no kaiju, said Kazuya Haraguchi, who collects Godzilla goods, including a 100,000 yen ($1,000) complete DVD collection from Toho Studios, which came with a huge fangs-baring Godzilla head.

The 45-year-old technician for reel films says Hollywood already botched it once with a 1998 remake, directed by Roland Emmerich.

And almost everything about the new Godzilla is wrong, from head to toe —

how its arms are limp at its sides, how the scales on its back are too regular, even the shape of its head.

“The head is too small,” said Haraguchi. “The voice is all wrong. It has to be much higher.”

He shrugs off the creature in the new film as depicting what he pronounced as “Gadzilla,” imitating an American accent — instead of “Gojira,” (Go-jeeh-ruh), the way Japanese say it, a word that combines “gorilla” and “kujira,” or whale.

“I hope the day will come when a Japanese director can make a Godzil-

la movie again for the world,” he said.

In the original story, Godzilla emerged from the Pacific Ocean, a mutation awakened by nuclearweapons testing on the Bikini Atoll, underlining Japan’s emotional trauma from the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. The story from Hollywood departs a bit from that script by having Godzilla stomping into San Francisco, instead of Tokyo, and confronting a flying monster that’s not in the original. But the

film stays true to the spirit of the original in many ways.

All director Gareth Edwards says he has done is produce an improved, more realistic Godzilla.

“In our film, for the first time, we will really see the actual animal again,” he told The Associated Press.

Yumiko Yamashita, 40, a welfare worker, thinks Godzilla must be lovable — “kawaii,” or cute, is the way she describes it.

She is proud it is drawing overseas respect but scoffed at U.S. depictions: “They make it too flashy.

It becomes too American.”

Book tells inspiring story of healing veterans

“Run, Don’t Walk” by Adele Levine, P.T. c.2014, Avery $26.00 / $30.00 Canada 278 pages It all starts with baby steps.

Baby steps, with armwaving balance and shaky testing of foot on floor.

You held onto the fingers of someone bigger and more experienced at that sort of thing, one foot in front of the other before you finally got the hang of it all.

You probably don’t remember your first steps – unless it’s your second chance to learn how to make them. In the new book “Run, Don’t Walk”

Sure that someone was dead (isn’t it always the case with calls like that?)

Adele Levine answered the phone and learned that she was being granted an interview for a job as a physical therapist in the amputee clinic at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Levine had gone to PT school because of “several depressing rounds of unemployment.” PT had never been her “calling,” and she didn’t have big plans, other than to find a job close to her apartment. She figured that Walter Reed would be a temporary gig.

As it turned out, she loved the amputee clinic, and stayed for several years.

but Levine says that the soldiers barely noticed.

They were too busy meeting new challenges.

Sometimes, the challenges were Levine’s.

Patients occasionally didn’t cooperate with their treatment, and needed warnings, encouragement, or just more understanding. Others really didn’t want to get better, finding the role of victim more appealing. Like most of her co-workers, Levine tried to create unusual ways to keep everyone – staff and patients alike

Paper cuts. They’re the worst, but I promise you that you’ll never whine about trifles like that again, once you’ve read “Run, Don’t Walk.”

With a sense of irony, a dose of humor, and beam-

Her anecdotes are peopled by soldiers whose lives have been forever altered, therapists who show them that those lives aren’t over yet, and officers who offer support to both sides. This isn’t necessarily some sunny, feel-good book, though: Levine is plain about pain, roadside bombs, fbombs, frustrations, injury and death.

This is one of those true stories that, when you’re done reading, you’ll wish you could read it again for the first time. And how could you resist a book like that?
