Schools near final days Murder victim

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Glendale and Rienzi elementary schools will shut down for good next week, less than two months after the county school district’s 3-2 vote for the closings.

Earlier this week, Alcorn School Distrist interim board

member Lamar Walker provided an update on savings of school mergers.

“As of right now, we can’t give an amount, but in July we should be able to provide some kind of a number of were we stand on our savings,” said Walkner.

He added, “although, we

won’t know the exact amount until July of next year.”

Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell said in March the district would save around $800,000 per year with the school closures.

An investigation continues into the death of a man found shot to death on the side of a county road earlier this week.

Sheriff Ben Caldwell said Saturday they were continuing to investigate the case and there was no new information ready to be released.

The body of an unidenti-

fied male was discovered by a motorist around 12:15 a.m.

Thursday in the Shady Grove area of Alcorn County on County Road 418, south of County Road 419. The man had been shot multiple times and had no identification on him.

The body has been sent to the state crime lab in Jackson for autopsy.

People of the Crossroads

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON GLEN — Taking advantage of warmer weather, the Town of Glen will host their 14th Annual Glen Heritage Day Festival in celebration of the community’s rich history and local heroes on Saturday, May 21.

Held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Glen Town Hall, the annual festival will feature singing, food and fun for all ages.

“Our food and activities will be free, but we will be accepting donations,” said Town Clerk Lynn Fielding. “Donations of any size are appreciated.”

Saturday’s highlights will include inflatables for children as well as classic restored tractors and other antique farm equipment from

A modest increase in student enrollment will boost the Corinth School District’s state funding in the coming fiscal year.

While the per-student funding formula for the district was unchanged, the Mississippi Adequate Education Program allocations awaiting the governor’s signature would give the district $12.486 million for fiscal 2017, an increase of $187,750 from the current fiscal year.

A slight increase in the district’s average daily attendance in the months of October and November accounts for about $35,000 of that amount, while a student enrollment increase of about

50 is the reason for about $150,000 in additional funds.

The district will also see a bump in Chickasaw Cession funding — $432,882 for fiscal 2017, an increase of $103,401, for a total state funding increase of $291,151.

Those numbers may increase in some years as the result of timber sales.

“We have fared pretty well in terms of where we are in funding in comparison to what many others across the state are facing,” Superintendent Lee Childress told the board of trustees on Thursday.

The district was able to absorb a recent cut of approximately $56,000 in the current

Deputy Fire Chief John Beavers of the Glen Volunteer Fire Department will be grilling up hamburgers and hot-dogs.

Soda and water will also be available.

“I am told we produce a pretty good burger and hot-dog,” said Beavers who has a special technique to lock in the flavors while maintaining the juices.

Burnsville native Dayron Sharp will headline the event, serving as the main entertainment. Local band “Behind the Cross” has recently reunited and will also perform at the festival.

Last year’s event was well attended with somewhere between 400 to 500 people turning out for the festivities.

“We want everyone to come and enjoy the day with us and to have a wonderful time,” said Fielding. “The festival will be held in the grassy area behind the town hall this year so there will be a lot more shade.”

“A few picnic tables are available, but not many,” she continued. “I would encourage everyone for their comfort and convenience to bring their lawn chairs, blankets, beach towels and pop-up canopies.”

There is currently no rain plan in place. However, there is a possibility that the festivities may be moved inside should bad weather threaten to spoil activities during the festival.

“We hope everyone will come out and celebrate with us while supporting the Glen Volunteer Fire Department.”

James McAnally Glen fire chief “This is always a big day for the Town of Glen, Glen Fire and Rescue and the Glen Community,” said Glen Fire Chief James McAnally. “We hope everyone will come out and celebrate with us while supporting the Glen Volunteer Fire Department.”

In addition to donations, attendees can also aid the fire department by purchasing T-shirts and RTIC Tumblers. Gray and Navy T-shirts will be available in all sizes for a $20 donation. 30 ounce RTIC tumblers will be available for a $30 donation. All donation to the Glen Volunteer Fire Department are tax deductible.

Organized by Mayor Bobby Little some 14 years ago, the event was founded not only as a fund-raiser, but as an opportunity for the town to come together, visit and enjoy good food and entertainment.

SCHOOLS CONTINUED FROM 1A

nouncement of the state’s budget and the continued under funding of MAEP earlier this month, Mitchell learned his upcoming 2016-17 fiscal year budget would be cut about $700,000.

“We merged some schools to make upgrades and now we have to use that money in our regular budget,” he said.

Mitchell did share a moving update with the board this week.

“We have been trying to organize our moving plans,” he said.

Those plans include the

moving of two computer labs and more than two dozen teacher classrooms from the shuttered campuses of Glen and Rienzi across the county to new classrooms at Alcorn Central and Biggersville.

“About a week after school is out, our plans are to begin moving our teachers and their materials and supplies to their new schools,” added Mitchell. “We will take that first week to clean out their new rooms and get the floors ready for their move-in.”

Student meet and greets at each school are slated for late July.

Hardin County County starts Junior Firefighter program HARDIN COUNTY, Tenn. — As school lets out for summer break, Hardin County officials are hoping teens will join them as they fight fires.

Hollie Broughton’s son is only 16 but is already gearing up to fight the flames, according to WBBJ-TV. “They teach them so many things. If they’re looking toward the future as a firefighter, there’s already one being trained right now,” Broughton said.

Broughton’s son, Geoffrey, has been a part of Hardin County’s Junior Firefighter program for about a year now. Teens ages 15 to 18 get handson training and also get to assist first responders

in the field for both drills and real emergencies.

“From start to finish, I’ve seen selfconfidence, all kinds of things. I think he’s going to be a better person,” Broughton said.

“We look for someone who we think would make good leaders, work well with each other, and make a good team. Because that’s what this is.

It’s a team,” said Jessica Beckham, who recruits the teens.

Beckham said there could also be some bragging rights. “How cool would it be to be 15 years old and go back to school and say, ‘Hey, what’d you do for the summer.’ And you can look at them and say, ‘I was a firefighter.’”

Broughton said it’s been a positive experience for her son.

“They get to hang around people and really care about their community, and that’s also a positive experience,” Broughton said.

Booneville School District looks ahead

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON boonevilleeditor@bellsouth.net

The Booneville School District is looking to the future with the recent completion of a longterm strategic plan outlining the challenges and opportunities it faces in the coming years.

The goal of the effort was to gain an honest look at where the district is and what it must do to continue to provide students with the best possible education in an everchanging economic and educational environment, explained Superintendent Dr. Todd English.

While the district continues to rank among the best in the state, he said it’s vital to understand that success today does not guarantee success in the future and resting on past accomplishments is a recipe for disaster.

“That’s an extremely dangerous attitude and it will not breed sustained success,” he said.

The superintendent said the world in which students will be competing for jobs is changing at a breakneck pace.

“We are preparing students today for jobs that do not yet exist,” he said.

“That’s a huge challenge.”

The planning process included an anonymous online survey of the community that asked residents to identify the things they are most proud of about the school system, the places where they would like to see improvements and what they feel are the most important areas for the district to address moving forward. Those re-

sponses were combined with detailed research on trends within the district and the state to create a plan that looks at both the challenges ahead and how the district can address them. The plan focuses on four key areas: maintaining excellence in academics, retaining and recruiting the highest quality teachers and administrators, ensuring students are ready for college or the workplace and providing a safe learning environment.

English said one of the greatest challenges the district faces in academics is a significant shift in the socio-economic makeup of the student body in the younger grades. The district is seeing growing numbers of children from lowincome families in the elementary school. It’s a trend he expects to see spread upward through the grades as today’s elementary school students become tomorrow’s middle school and high schoolers.

These students face particular challenges in early learning as families struggle to simply make ends meet, he said. The district has a strong system of academic support in place for these students now, but English said the long-term solution comes in providing these students with a strong learning opportunity before they ever get to kindergarten.

A need-based prekindergarten plan is on the drawing board with a goal to launch it for the 2017-18 school year. The program would be aimed

directly at students from low-income families and provide them with a strong foundation for success in elementary school.

He emphasized they are not looking to duplicate existing programs such as highly successful privately funded preschools, but want to provide services to students who would not be able to otherwise afford those opportunities.

The plan also aims to continue to work toward reducing class sizes at the elementary and middle school levels and provide additional programs for academic support. They also hope to add music to the elementary curriculum in the coming years.

English said they are also looking at options for adding additional extracurricular activities, including a pair of new sports. He said they want to begin archery and soccer programs with a goal date of the 2017-18 school year.

Academic success is primarily a function of having top quality teachers in the classroom, said English. He said they plan to focus heavily on maintaining the highest quality faculty by recruiting the state’s elite teachers. Recruiting efforts will include boosting connections with universities across the state, marketing the success of the district and the quality of the community, and aggressively providing merit pay programs once those programs are approved by the legislature in the coming years.

He said the biggest key

Wedding Barn/Lodge Rental

in recruiting and keeping quality teachers is providing them with an environment where they know they are supported by the administration and English said they will continue to focus on supporting their educators so they can do the job of providing a top quality education.

“We want the best of the best of the best. We will be looking at all options for recruiting quality teachers,” he said.

Preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow is also vital to district’s future. English said they are working hand in hand with area industry to make sure the district’s programs are providing students with the skills they need to be successful. They also continue to partner with Northeast Mississippi Community College and others to give students the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school and ensure the lessons being taught in high school re preparing college bound students for success.

While much of the plan is focused on long-term goals, the area of safety is not. English said the safety of students is a top priority every day and they are working daily to understand the threats faced by schools and how they can best protect students and make sure they feel secure and safe on campus. He said they are blessed with a strong relationship with the Booneville Police Department which has officers on campus on a regular basis and works closely with the district to ad-

dress concerns and help them protect students.

English said safety is an issue the students themselves should never have to think about.

“We can’t be naive about what’s out there, but we don’t want the kids worrying about safety.

That’s our job,” he said.

While big ideas are great, English is very practical when it comes to implementation. He said they understand that creating a stronger district costs money, but they can’t let financial limitations limit opportunities for students.

“Finance is the ultimate limiting factor, but it is not an excuse,” he said.

The district is aggressively looking at all options for increasing funding through a variety of sources. English said they are exploring numerous ways to grow revenue to allow them to provide for the needs of students today and in the future.

He expects to see some unique new programs come from the efforts in the future.

“Everything is on the table,” he said.

He emphasized the five-year plan is a living document that is meant to guide the district forward. He said it can be revisited as circumstances change and new challenges arise and they want to be adaptable and ready to face the challenges of an everchanging environment and ensure every student who walks through their doors receives the best education possible today and in the future.

Our View

School transfers: Let’s fix problem The Alcorn County School District continues to discuss the problem of parents wanting to transfer students out of the district.

This has been going on for years now and it has reached alarming rates.

This issue is being addressed as how can the school board keep students from transferring.

The bottom line is reduced revenues from the district - and that being said - let’s look at the district as a business.

If a business keeps losing customers, what do they do? They ask their customers why they stop doing business with them, then make changes to get the business back.

It’s time for the Alcorn School District to figure out why they are losing customers at such a fast pace.

Under the direction of its new leader, a plan of action needs to be in place as to the why.

Parents are being creative in their reasons, hoping to win approval. Each parent must be asked as to the true reason.

Is it because the Alcorn County School District isn’t getting the job done? And if so, why?

County student transfers made headlines once again this past week.

Alcorn County school board members had a somewhat heated discussion regarding out of district student releases.

The Alcorn School District’s state funding is set to be cut more than $700,000 next year due to a decrease in average daily attendance, and Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell is now blaming the district’s sometimes weak policy governing transfers.

Mitchell wants to reduce the number of kids leaving the district, and he said enrollment is down well over 100 students.

No changes were made to the policy on Monday, even though two board members agreed there should be.

Board members Mary Coleman and Laura Studdard agreed with Mitchell and said student transfer requests should not be granted because it’s convenient for parents.

Board president Randy Wilbanks and board members Lamar Walker and Russ Nash disagreed with making policy changes.

“I have always felt like a parent should decide what school they want their child to go to,” Wilbanks told fellow board members.

“We have been talking for years about the reasons why a student leaves the district. I want to find out what those reasons are and fix them so others down the road maybe won’t leave for the same reason.”

We agree with Wilbanks. Fix the problem.

He added, “there is already enough negative talk about the Alcorn School District. If we start telling parents ‘no, they can’t send their child elsewhere,’ it’s only going to get worse.”

He is probably right.

The transfer policy currently states that out of district transfers are granted if a parent is a regular employee of the school district to which the student wishes to transfer; if the student lives more than 30 miles from the student’s home school; if the brother(s) and/or sister(s) of the student were approved for transfer previously; if a student’s parents are separated or divorced, the student may be allowed to attend school in the district in which either parent is a bonafide resident; or if there are exceptional circumstances in the judgment of the board in individual cases.

However, students are often granted release for other reasons.

“Those who dream up reasons to transfer their kids shouldn’t be acceptable,” Mitchell told board members. “I will put my foot on the base today, tomorrow and forever – it’s not right.”

If the Alcorn School District fixes the issue as to why there are so many student transfers, then parents won’t have to “dream up reasons” to place their kids in other school districts.

Here’s what I wrote last week: “On the subject of same-sex marriage, the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision in the 2015 landmark Obergefell v. Hodges case declared that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry that is guaranteed by both the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

“That decision made same-sex marriage legal in Mississippi – or at least impeded Mississippi from violating the federal constitutional right to samesex marriage by denying marriage licenses to samesex couples. About a week later, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood ordered circuit clerks in the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.”

Through his public information officer, Rachel Ring, Hood asked me to revisit the word “ordered” in that second paragraph: “While the Attorney General did

send clerks a letter to notify them of the Supreme Court decision, he did not issue an Sid Salter ‘order’ and has no auColumnist thority to do so.”

The point of Hood’s complaint about that word is simple – it’s the wrong word. Mississippi’s attorney general indeed doesn’t possess the legal authority to “order” the circuit clerks to issue marriage licenses.

After the U.S. Supreme Court decided the Obergefell case, Hood’s office sent a notification to the state’s circuit clerks that Hood later admitted in a second letter to the clerks “seems to have been misinterpreted as prohibiting Circuit Clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. The statement was merely meant to explain that an order of the Fifth Circuit would be necessary to lift the stay.”

Following a lengthy explanation of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court case on the orders and procedural activities of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Districts Courts in Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and

Georgia related to that decision, Hood’s second notification to the circuit clerk addressed the topic of how the clerks might choose to move forward: “Nevertheless, regardless of the status of the case before the Fifth Circuit, Obergefell is the law of the land. If a clerk has issued or decides to issue a marriage license to a same sex couple, there will be no adverse action taken by the Attorney General against that circuit clerk on behalf of the state. In such cases, it might be wise to advise same sex applicants that the validity of a marriage licenses issued prior to the stay being legally lifted might be contested in any potential divorce action or in future estate proceedings.

“On the other hand, a clerk who refuses to issue a marriage license to a same sex couple could be sued by the denied couple and may face liability. Whatever course you decide to take, you should consult with the county board attorney about the issuance of licenses in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion on Friday.”

Ironically, Hood’s now a defendant in one of two federal lawsuits filed against the state regarding HB 1523. One lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), seeks to

declare the bill unconstitutional.

A second federal lawsuit filed by the Campaign for Southern Equality, seeks to reopen its prior lawsuit that overturned Mississippi’s same-sex marriage ban and focuses on the provision in HB 1523 that allows those same Mississippi circuit clerks and deputy clerks to “recuse” themselves from issuing marriage licenses if doing so conflicts with their personal religious beliefs.

Perhaps more ironic now that he’s been named as a defendant in one of those federal lawsuits is Hood’s admonition after Gov. Phil Bryant signed HB 1523 into law: “Any lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of HB1523 will have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. We would caution government officials and others that HB 1523 does not override federal law or constitutional rights. If a person or government official violates a federal statute or constitutional provision, House Bill 1523 will not protect that official from a federal lawsuit or from potential personal liability under federal law.”

North Carolina fights back Standing on principle, not to mention common sense, is so rare these days that when someone does it they make headlines. That’s because you can quickly be labeled a “bigot” if you oppose a lot of the sludge dumped on us by the secular left, and few can withstand the onslaught.

North Carolina’s Republican governor, Pat McCrory, is unafraid.

On Friday, the Department of Justice sent him a letter warning that North Carolina’s House Bill 2, also known as the bathroom bill, violated the Civil Rights Act. The bill, which requires that transgender people use public bathrooms that match their birth certificates, was swiftly labeled anti-LGBT, which was all DOJ needed to hear. The government gave McCrory until Monday to confirm that North Carolina would not comply with or implement HB2.

McCrory pushed back. On Monday, he filed a lawsuit against the DOJ, targeting Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta. The suit, according to ABC News, “accused the DOJ of a ‘radical reinterpretation’ of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and wrote that the federal gov-

ernment’s position was ‘a baseless and blatant overreach.’”

The government’s Cal letter, acThomas cording to North CaroliColumnist na Public Radio-WUNC’s Jeff Tiberii, who obtained a copy, warned that “The State is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees and both you, in your official capacity, and the state are engaging in a pattern or practice of resistance.”

In a statement following the announcement of the lawsuit, Gov. McCrory said, “The Obama administration is bypassing Congress by attempting to rewrite the law and set restroom policies for public and private employers across the country, not just North Carolina.

This is now a national issue that applies to every state and it needs to be resolved at the federal level,” meaning Congress and the courts.

McCrory added that Washington is “telling every government agency and every company that employs more than 15 people that men should be allowed to

use a women’s locker room, restroom or shower facility.”

The push and pull continues.

If you are a woman reading this, how would you feel about showering with a naked man? If you are a man who has daughters, would you be OK with allowing them to use a women’s restroom knowing that a man could be in there? Target is fine with it, apparently. In a blog last week, the company stated that it welcomes “transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.” Target stores are now the target of a boycott.

What about school gyms?

Are you fine with having your daughter changing and showering with a boy who believes he’s a girl?

What happened to the right to privacy, so revered by the progressive left?

Does the fact that we are even having this debate say something about the state of our culture and the attempts by secularists to undermine what remains of its creaking foundations, traditions and what used to be known as common sense?

Who gets to decide? And on what is that decision based?

Are morals and ethics now up for grabs, depending on which group makes the most noise and promises the most votes? Perhaps Loretta Lynch and her deputy should lead by example and shower with a transgender male. Even better, how about first lady Michelle Obama? Media coverage could be discreet.

I’m betting that neither Lynch nor the first lady would go that far. In fact, I suspect that very few on the left would want to live under many of the laws and dictates they like to impose on the rest of us.

Have we gone mad? The question all but answers itself.

Gov. McCrory has already directed state agencies to make reasonable accommodations to transgender people by installing single-occupancy restrooms. North Carolina also allows private companies to set their own bathroom policies, but that is not what the Obama administration wants. It wants to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.” It’s one of the few promises the president has managed to keep.

Medical education continues to improve at MRHC According to The Glossary of Education Reform, continuous improvement is a concept that encompasses the general belief that improvement is not something that starts and stops, but it is something that requires an organizational or professional commitment to an ongoing process of learning, self-reflection, adaptation, and growth.

That is exactly what the Graduate Medical Education (GME) program at Magnolia Regional Health Center continues to do.

The program, which initially began training internal medicine residents in 2009, continues to raise the bar on quality and trainee achievements year after year. The program is only one of two Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Internal Medicine programs in the state, with the other being located at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss.

The ACGME is a private, non-profit, professional organization responsible for the accreditation of approximately 700 institutions that sponsor approximately 9,600 residency and fellowship programs in the United States.

MRHC’s GME program was the first program nationally to go from American Osteopathic Association (AOA) accreditation to ACGME accreditation, which allows MRHC to begin training MD cre-

Dr. David Pizzimenti, MRHC Chair of Graduate Medical Education and Internal Medicine Residency Program director, leads a training session with residents. dentialed physicians in addition to DO credentialed physicians. The program’s resident physicians recently took the national Internal Medicine In Service Exam and were ranked 5th overall and in the top 4 percent nationally. Both of these were up from the previous year’s ranking of being in the top 12 percent nationally, and the first-attempt pass rate on the national Internal Medicine Board Exam increased from 95 percent to 96.2 percent this year, with 26 out of 27 students passing the exam.

Dr. David Pizzimenti, MRHC Chair of Graduate Medical Education and Internal Medicine Residency Program director, has done his share of re-

ceiving accolades too. Pizzimenti was named the 2015 American College of Osteopathic Internists “Teacher of the Year.”

Each year, the ACOI, an organization whose mission is to advance the practice of osteopathic internal medicine, honors members of the College who have distinguished themselves in the areas of teaching, research, and patient care. Recently, while completing his ten year recertification, he received the top score in the country. During his time here, the program has steadily gained interest from residents and students around the country and offered the same training other large teaching/research hospitals have.

“This program is accomplishing great things and offering students and residents a location they can gain quality experience and training,” said Dr. Pizzimenti. “For being a medical education program at a smaller hospital, we are not just competing with much larger academic hospitals in larger cities, but we are beating them in academic success and quality of care.”

MRHC has come a long way from just hiring great physicians. They are now training and growing them here too. Several of the students who go through the program have come back to practice medicine right here in Corinth, and others are continuously getting into great fellowships around

the country in various specialties. The below are just a few: ■ Aaron Earles — One of our First CORE Medical Student Graduates and First Internal Medicine Graduates (Back as Interventional Cardiologist) ■ Andy Holley — Was a Core Medical Student at Magnolia Regional Health Center (Back as General Surgeon) ■ Amanda Finley — Internal Medicine Graduate (Now associate clinical professor) ■ Delali Blavo — Internal Medicine Graduate (Will begin practicing Endocrinology in August) ■ Rachel Thibodeaux — Internal Medicine Graduate (Now associate clinical professor) ■ Valerie Norton — Internal Medicine Graduate (Back as Internal Medicine Physician) ■ Charles Swanson — Internal Medicine Graduate (Now Internal Medicine Physician in Tippah County) ■ Seger Morris — Internal Medicine Graduate (Now associate clinical professor) ■ Matthew Tipton — Internal Medicine Graduate (Now Emergency Medicine Physician at Tippah County Hospital) ■ Michael Hawley — (Now associate clinical professor) ■ Ashley Nickerson — Cardiology Graduate (Coming back in August) ■ Andrew Thibodeaux — Cardiology Graduate in August (Will start as faculty in August)

■ Beth Lindsey — Graduating in 2016; is on stipend and will return for Rheumatology ■ Leah McIntosh — Graduating in 2016; is on stipend and will return for Nephrology ■ Peyton Preece — Graduating in 2016 (Will begin July 18th as associate clinical professor) Gena Lindsey, the Designated Institutional Official for Graduate Medical Education at Magnolia Regional Health Center, praises Dr. Pizzimenti, the Associate Clinical Professors of internal medicine and the Medical Staff for the phenomenal medical education the trainees receive at MRHC. “Our highly structured and academically rigorous program, led by Dr. Pizzimenti, allows a small Mississippi teaching hospital to have the ability to produce some of the most experienced and highest board scoring physicians in the nation.”

Ms. Lindsey acknowledged the program would not be the success it is today without the support and resources provided

by Magnolia Regional Health Center. “We take great pride training physicians for our rural, medically underserved area, in a state of the art facility”.

“I am extremely appreciative of the support and resources the executive staff and board of trustees have provided since we started our program(s), and I anxiously look forward to what the future may hold.”

Seniors honored The faculty and staff of The University of Mississippi-Booneville campus honored its 2016 graduating class on Tuesday, April 26 during the annual Graduation Celebration event held in the Black and Gold Room at Northeast Mississippi Community College. The graduating students’ degrees were conferred during the official commencement ceremonies held at the UM main campus in Oxford on Saturday. UM-Booneville 2016 Graduates include: Elementary Education major Libby Moore, of Corinth, MS; Elementary Education major Chelsea Wimberly, of Iuka; Elementary Education major Summer Sharplin, of Ripley; Elementary Education major Katie Williams, of Booneville; Elementary Education major Julia Alexander, of Belmont; General Studies major Tyler Hall and Elementary Education major Anthony Copeland, both of Booneville.

UM alumnus begins new career with service dog at his side OXFORD — When graduate student Ben Stepp walked across the stage during the University of Mississippi’s Commencement ceremonies Saturday, he did so in the company of his canine companion, Arliegh, a service dog who rarely leaves his side.

A retired U.S. Army staff sergeant and an infantry veteran of the Iraq War, Stepp, 36, received his third UM diploma – a master’s degree in community and mental health counseling.

But what makes this accomplishment even more thoughtprovoking is that Arliegh, a nearly 3-year-old Labrador retriever mix, has attended virtually every class alongside her owner since 2014. “(Arliegh) is a highly trained medical device,” explained Stepp, a husband and father of two. “When my heart rate gets elevated, she can sense it and places her paw or head on my leg for me to pet her. You might

see me petting her a lot on graduation day.”

Stepp and Arliegh are preparing to begin a new career in which Stepp plans to eventually become a Licensed Professional Counselor, hoping to specialize in counseling veterans adjusting to life after military service.

As a service dog, Arliegh helps Stepp manage anxiety related to the effects of PTSD, one of two wounds the Fairbanks, Alaska, native received during his 15 years of military service. Stepp’s other injury is a still-bothersome grenade wound to his right ankle, which resulted in long-term pain from reflex sympathetic dystrophy, or RSD, a type of nerve damage that causes a burning pain in the injured area among other symptoms.

Stepp joined the LOU community in 2006 when he returned from his service in Iraq.

While deployed, first in 2003 then later during parts of 2004 and 2005, he served as the

leader of an infantry fire team, a group of four to five soldiers.

After transferring from the regular Army into the Mississippi Army National Guard, Stepp enrolled in undergraduate courses at UM with a plan to finish a bachelor’s degree in economics – which he had started at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke – and return to active duty as an officer.

However, Stepp faced challenges he did not expect as a tried to “normalize” into life as a college student and war veteran.

“I was in a lot of denial about my problems at the time,” he recalled. “I was easily agitated, easily set off. I had nightmares and flashbacks.”

At the urging of Ole Miss ROTC faculty, Stepp began seeing a therapist on campus and later at the VA office in Memphis, Tennessee. It was an important and necessary decision for Stepp, but it was also a de-

cision that set his life in a new direction.

“I was then medically disqualified from being an officer,” he said. “They said I could stay as an enlisted man, but I couldn’t be an officer.”

This was a hard blow to Stepp, who had first joined the military at age 17 with the consent of his mother. But, after refocusing his efforts on academic pursuits, Stepp earned a bachelor’s degree in economics in 2009 and a master’s degree in criminal justice in 2011, while working as a University Police Department officer, a position he held from 2007 to 2013.

The same year he earned his bachelor’s degree, Stepp also married his wife, Erin. The couple welcomed their first child in 2010 and carved out a life together in Oxford.

However, Stepp still had personal battles to fight. He was becoming increasingly frustrated with the care offered

through the VA. He struggled privately with chronic anxiety and longed for therapists who better understood issues faced by veterans. And, there was also his lingering ankle wound, which he continued to manage with regular nerve block injections and opiates prescribed by VA physicians.

“I was tired of being treated like a science experiment,” Stepp said. I wasn’t happy with the way any of us vets were being treated. So I decided to seek out my own treatment.”

Soon after in 2013, Stepp resigned from UPD, a position he felt passionately about but could no longer complete to the best of his abilities due to personal difficulties.

“I was in a lot of pain, physical pain,” he said. “I thought I was doing a good job of covering it up. But it all finally kinda came to a boil, I guess, and I decided that the best thing for me was to really get help and ‘get right.’”

Obamas welcome leaders, celebrities to Nordic party Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Famous people and people just famous-for-Washington scored coveted invitations to Friday night’s White House state dinner honoring the leaders of Sweden, Iceland, Finland, Denmark and Norway.

Will Ferrell, who famously parodied past President George W. Bush on “Saturday Night Live,” and Bellamy Young, first lady on the TV show “Scandal,” made the cut, as did recently retired late-night host David Letterman, “Girls” actress Allison Williams and actor-comedian Aziz Ansari.

Other guests with

Nordic ties were Marcus Samuelsson, the Sweden-raised chef who was a guest chef for the President Barack Obama’s first state dinner seven years ago, and Joel Kinnaman, a Swedish-American actor who played a politician in “House of Cards.”

The Nordic party was a twist for the White House — state dinners typically celebrate a single head of state. But Friday’s affair capped a multilateral U.S.-Nordic summit, a gathering Obama used to laud the Nordic states as model global citizens on climate change, security, humanitarian efforts and economic equality.

Bryant: Defy transgender guidance

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS

“The directive is nonbinding, and does not carry the force of law. Because these decisions are better left to the states, and not made at the point of a federal bayonet, Mississippi’s public schools should not participate in the president’s social experiment.”

Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said Friday that the state should defy new federal guidance that says public schools should make sure transgender students can use locker rooms and bathrooms that match their gender identity.

Republican Bryant originally criticized President Barack Obama’s administration but stopped short of calling for defiance.

However, after the Mississippi Department of Education said the state will follow the federal guidance, the secondterm governor issued a new and more strongly worded statement.

“The directive is nonbinding, and does not carry the force of law,” Bryant said. “Because these decisions are better left to the states, and not made at the point of a federal bayonet, Mississippi’s public schools should not participate in the president’s social experiment.”

The U.S. departments

Gov. Phil Bryant of Education and Justice told states Friday that public schools must treat transgender students in a way that matches their identity, even if school records or identity documents list a different sex.

The Mississippi Department of Education said it will follow the federal guidance, although it didn’t offer details of what it will tell local districts.

“A safe and caring school environment is critical to a student’s ability to learn and achieve,” the department’s statement said.

A Mississippi law that’s set to take effect July 1 says the state cannot pun-

ish a person who cites religious beliefs and sets “sex-specific standards or policies” for employee or student dress or grooming, or for access to bathrooms, spas, dressing rooms, locker rooms “or other intimate facilities or settings.” Two groups have filed federal court challenges to House Bill 1523, which also says workers can cite their own religious objections to same-sex marriage to deny services to people.

Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves criticized the federal guidance on treatment of transgender students but stopped short

of calling for defiance.

“State and local communities should not be forced to push a liberal agenda by a president out of touch with the American people,” Reeves said Friday.

The question of whether federal civil rights law protects transgender people may ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. However, schools that refuse to comply could face civil rights lawsuits from the government, and the Obama administration could try to cut off federal aid to schools to force compliance.

“It would be wrong for the administration to withhold federal funding from public schools that choose to handle this sensitive matter in their own way,” said U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. “These are local issues best decided by those who live in our communities. Once again, the courts will inevitably have to weigh in because this administration continues to impose rules without having the proper authority.”

Arizona sheriff found Bryant signs bill to cut in contempt of court $415 million in taxes Associated Press

PHOENIX — The sixterm sheriff of metro Phoenix has been found in contempt of court for disobeying a federal judge’s orders in a racial profiling case, bringing the lawman who calls himself “America’s Toughest Sheriff” a step closer to a possible criminal contempt case that could expose him to fines and even jail time.

Friday’s ruling marked one of the biggest legal defeats in long career of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is known for cracking down on illegal immigration, and was expected to lead to greater court oversight of his office.

U.S. District Judge Murray Snow set a May 31 hearing for attorneys to discuss penalties.

Shortly thereafter, Snow said he will issue an order on remedies and whether he will refer the case for criminal contempt.

Arpaio, a month away from turning 84, is running for re-election for the job he’s held since 1993. Dan Saban, a former police chief in suburban Buckeye who ran unsuccessfully against Arpaio in 2004 and 2008 and is in the race again, said Friday that it was time for the longtime sheriff to resign.

The civil contempt finding doesn’t disqualify Arpaio from holding office. It’s unclear whether a criminal contempt finding would prevent him from serving as sheriff. A felony contempt conviction would force him from office, but the judge has the option of recommending either a misdemeanor or felony contempt case.

Arpaio and three of

his top aides “have demonstrated a persistent disregard for the orders of this court, as well as an intention to violate and manipulate the laws and policies regulating their conduct,” Snow wrote in his 162-page finding of facts ruling.

“We have begun our reading and analysis of this lengthy document, and expect to file a responsive memorandum,” attorneys for the sheriff’s office said in a statement late Friday afternoon.

“Despite disagreeing with some of the court’s findings, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will continue to work with the court-appointed monitor, the ACLU and plaintiffs to comply with the court’s orders, as it has since January 2014.”

Snow ruled three years ago that Arpaio’s officers systematically racially profiled Latinos in regular traffic stops and immigration patrols. He ordered a sweeping overhaul of the agency, including making patrol officers wear body cameras and conducting more training to ensure officers aren’t making unconstitutional traffic stops.

Arpaio has acknowledged violating Snow’s orders, including letting deputies conduct his signature immigration patrols 18 months after the judge barred them.

The judge said Friday that Arpaio “engaged in multiple acts of misconduct, dishonesty and bad faith” related to those who sued over the racial profiling and “made multiple intentional misstatements of fact” while testifying during a hearing.

Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant on Friday signed what may be the largest tax cut in Mississippi history, a measure that will reduce taxes by $415 million over the next 12 years.

Senate Bill 2858 will phase out Mississippi’s $260 million-a-year corporate franchise tax, a long-held goal of business groups. It would also cut $145 million in income taxes, raising the threshold for paying state income taxes to $10,000. Anyone making that much would eventually get a $150-a-year cut.

Both the income tax and franchise tax reductions would begin in 2018.

Starting in 2017, Mississippi would lower taxes on self-employment, cutting $10.2 million over three years.

“I appreciate the legislature’s continued commitment to reducing the tax burden on our citizens and making Mississippi the most business-friendly state in America,” Bryant said in a statement.

Supporters including Lt. Gov Tate Reeves say the measures make Mississippi more economically competitive, particularly the elimination of the franchise tax, which some other states are also getting rid of. Businesses, especially manufacturers and banks, dislike the franchise tax because the levy taxes capital and requires companies to pay regardless of profit levels.

has said the first year of the franchise tax cut will leave only 245 businesses paying the tax.

Opponents warn tax cuts will drain off state revenue, hurting Mississippi’s ability to provide needed government services. Democrats also questioned the wisdom of approving tax cuts while revenues were declining.

Lawmakers approved more than $350 million in business tax reductions during the previous fouryear term, and business tax collections are already projected to fall $150 million from 2015 to 2017.

House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, has promised a comprehensive tax study before the large tax cuts begin in 2018, and Reeves has said he supports it. Many House Republicans voted for the measure reluctantly, after the collapse of efforts to find a grand bargain that would have also increased funding for roads and bridges. Republicans also shelved an effort to rewrite the state’s K-12 funding formula after closed-door talks on changes didn’t produce an agreement. Transportation and education spending could also be part of the overhaul effort.

“I look forward to working with the legislative leadership on comprehensive tax reform for the 2017 legislative session that further simplifies the tax code and ensures a steady stream of revenue to fund the core responsibilities of government,” Bryant said.

Shoplifting increase blamed on measure ROCKLIN, Calif. — Large retailers including Safeway, Target, Rite Aid and CVS pharmacies say they have seen shoplifting jump at least 15 percent since California voters reduced theft penalties 1½ years ago.

Shoplifting reports in Los Angeles increased by a quarter in the first year after voters approved Proposition 47 in November 2014, according to statistics compiled for The Associated Press.

Preliminary FBI crime reports show a 12 percent jump in larcenytheft, which includes shoplifting.

But several experts say there is no proof that reduced criminal penalties caused the shoplifting surge. A proposition supporter says law enforcement still has plenty of tools.

Teens unhurt after limo catches fire NATICK, Mass. — Bad luck followed a group of teenagers heading to the prom on Friday the 13th as the limousine they were riding in caught fire.

Good luck returned when the 10 teens and the driver escaped the limo unharmed before it burst into flames.

It’s unclear what caused the blaze.

Natick police tweeted the limo “might be evil� because the fire later rekindled.

One student suggested the bad fortune was a result of it being Friday the 13th. The students said it was scary but also “kind of cool.�

Bus burning evokes 1991 Brooklyn riots NEW YORK — Twentyfive years after violent race riots in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood, a new incident — the torching a school bus outside a Jewish school — has raised questions about whether tensions are starting

to fray again.

Police have arrested five black boys in this week’s blaze.

Tensions between blacks and Jews in the neighborhood were thought to have largely eased since 1991, when the neighborhood’s black residents exploded into days of rioting after a 7-year-old boy was accidentally struck and killed by a car in the motorcade of the leader of the Lubavitcher sect.

A rabbinical student was stabbed and died.

Drug makers must explain price hikes MONTPELIER, Vt. — Vermont is poised to be the first state requiring drug companies to explain their price increases.

A bill passed by lawmakers in their final week and awaiting Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin’s signature would have state health regulators identify up to 15 drugs a year with the biggest price increases.

It then would require their manufacturers to justify those increases to the attorney general’s office.

A spokesman for the leading industry group says the legislation is misguided and that there are other steps states can take to ensure citizens have access to needed medications.

The issue was highlighted recently by Turing Pharmaceuticals’ decision to raise the price of a drug used to treat a life-saving condition from $13.50 per pill to $750.

Dog bitten saving child from snake TAMPA, Fla. — When a venomous Eastern diamondback rattlesnake appeared in the backyard of a 7-year-old Florida girl, her German shepherd came to her rescue, refusing to back down despite multiple snakebites.

And now, hundreds of donors are coming to her family’s rescue, quickly topping the goal of $15,000 Friday on a GoFundMe account to help pay for the antivenin needed to keep the dog alive.

Molly DeLuca was playing with her 2-year-

old shepherd, named Haus, when the snake showed up on Wednesday. Haus jumped between them and was bitten three times, suffering damage to his kidneys. Vets are now expecting a full recovery.

Man, 96, is oldest to graduate at USC LOS ANGELES — It took more than 60 years but a University of Southern California student has finally received his diploma.

Ninety-six-year-old Alfonso Gonzales received a bachelor of science degree in zoology on Friday, making him the oldest graduate in USC history.

The World War II veteran thought he’d already graduated when he skipped commencement exercises in 1953 because of work obligations. He was founding a soil company that he ran for 55 years.

But when relatives recently approached the university about getting a copy of his diploma, they learned he was one unit short.

U.S. set to change Myanmar sanctions WASHINGTON — The U.S. business lobby says it is high time to drop the remaining U.S. sanctions on Myanmar, but human rights activists and U.S. lawmakers say not so fast.

Former political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi is now running the government after winning elections. Still, the military continues to wield considerable power.

That poses a dilemma for President Barack Obama, who wants to encourage investment but not lose leverage to encourage further reforms. So next week, Obama is expected to renew sanctions for another year. The administration could take some state-run companies off a U.S. Treasury blacklist.

Secretary of State John Kerry will be traveling to Myanmar on May 22 to signal support for the civilian-led government that took power last month and for further democratic and economic reforms, the State Department said Friday.

Dems want session on health services JACKSON  — Most Democratic lawmakers are calling on Mississippi’s Republican governor to call a special legislative session to put more money into mental health services.

Ed LeGrand, a former Department of Mental Health director, joins 62 legislators in making the request Friday. They say some patients who don’t receive care could end up in prison.

Current director Diana Mikula said Tuesday the department will have to cut some services, including 29 beds at the State Hospital at Whitfield for patients with both a major mental disorder and a complex medical condition.

Gov. Phil Bryant signed the Mental Health budget, Senate Bill 2888, on Wednesday. His spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday.

City expects boost from to-go cup law BAY ST. LOUIS — This seaside town is expecting a boost in business after a new state law allowing to-go cups goes into effect in July.

The Sea Coast Echo reports city leaders hope to see a spark in business once the law goes into effect on July 1.

This week, Gov. Phil Bryant signed a bill permitting cities along the Gulf Coast to establish districts where openalcohol containers are allowed.

Nikki Moon, the president of the Hancock Tourism Development Bureau, says the law will be “a huge benefit for tourism.�

Moon says the town’s visitors mostly come from Louisiana where to-go cups are common so this new law will make visitors from Louisiana feel more at home.

Ingalls gives Navy 10th transport dock PASCAGOULA — Huntington Ingalls Industries has delivered the company’s 10th San Antonioclass amphibious transport dock to the U.S. Navy.

The ship, built at Ingalls’ facility in Pascagoula, was named in

honor of the late U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, who represented Pennsylvania from 1974 to 2010.

It was delivered during a Friday ceremony.

Ingalls’ Vice President of Program Management Richard Schenk says they have at least two more ships to complete in this class — the Portland, under construction and scheduled for christening May 21, and the Fort Lauderdale for which Ingalls has received more than $300 million in advance procurement funding.

The San Antonio class is the latest addition to the Navy’s amphibious assault force. The 684-foot-long, 105-footwide ships are used to embark and land Marines, their equipment and supplies.

Death of prisoner under investigation JACKSON — An inmate who was found unconscious in his cell at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman has died.

The Mississippi Department of Corrections, in a news release Friday, said 21-year-old Jasper Bell was pronounced dead at 12:03 p.m. at Unit 29, where he was housed alone.

Bell was serving a 35year sentence for multiple convictions in Hinds County including armed robbery, aggravated assault, residential burglary and carjacking. His crimes were committed in 2010, and he was sentenced on Jan. 4, 2012.

A cause of death is pending an autopsy.

Attorney calls feds’ lawsuit ‘frivolous’ JACKSON — The attorney for a Mississippibased check cashing company is criticizing a federal agency’s lawsuit against his client.

Dale Danks represents All American Check Cashing Inc., which operates in Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.

Danks says Friday that the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s lawsuit against All American is a “frivolous, bullish attempt to overshadow an industry by attacking a small, independent business owner.�

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, says the company instructed its

employees not to tell customers what fees they were being charged.

The lawsuit also says the company overcharged some customers and didn’t repay them.

Danks says All American will continue cooperating with federal and state authorities and welcomes the chance to defend itself.

Charity will support international studies OXFORD — University of Mississippi officials say a McComb-based charitable fund has agreed to continue supporting an international studies program at the university.

The Joseph C. Bancroft Charitable & Educational Fund has agreed to provide another $5 million to the Croft Institute for International Studies over the next five years.

The fund agreed to support the program in 1997, and Ole Miss said Wednesday that it has given $44 million so far.

The Croft Institute accepts 70 students each year by application to major in international studies. The program requires students to learn a foreign language and study abroad for at least one semester in a country where that language is spoken.

Electric car-maker missing job target JACKSON — An electric car company that once said it planned to build 250,000 cars a year and invest $2 billion in an impoverished corner of Mississippi’s Delta region is in trouble because it hasn’t lived up to an agreement requiring it to hire 350 employees.

Mississippi state officials say they are renegotiating an incentive agreement with GreenTech Automotive, a unit of Virginia-based WM Industries, after the electric car maker failed to reach employment targets. Tunica County officials also have not granted agreed-on property tax breaks. “The company has started production, but has yet to reach the job threshold,� Mississippi Development Authority spokesman Jeff Rent wrote in an email to the Associated Press late last month.

Anti-fakes leader tied to Alibaba

BY ERIKA KINETZ AND DESMOND BUTLER Associated Press

SHANGHAI — When an influential anti-counterfeiting group allowed Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba to join its ranks in April, the group said it was a collaborative move that would help stem the sale of fake goods for top companies such as Apple, Nike and Procter & Gamble.

Instead, the decision has sparked an angry revolt among some members of the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, who consider Alibaba the world’s largest

marketplace for fakes.

The ensuing drama has led to outraged letters, anonymous memos, and high-profile defections.

Now, an investigation

by The Associated Press has found that the IACC’s president owns Alibaba stock, has close ties to a key Alibaba vice president and uses family members to run his coalition.

“It’s crossed the line ethically,” said Deborah Greaves, a partner at Brutzkus Gubner law firm who served on the coalition’s board from 2011 to 2013. She said she didn’t know that IACC chief Robert Barchiesi had

stock in Alibaba until informed by the AP, calling it “really problematic.”

“Everything the IACC does that makes Alibaba look better potentially drives up the price of the stock,” said Greaves, whose firm is still a member of the group. “As a board member, I would never have bought stock in Alibaba.”

The storm has bared the deep loathing some harbor for a company heralded as one of communist China’s greatest capitalist success stories.

At issue is the independence of a small but influential coalition that lobbies U.S. officials and testifies before Congress.

Alibaba’s membership could help shape the global fight against counterfeits, which damage companies’ bottom lines, result in harmful products consumers purchase unknowingly, and feed a vast underground moneylaundering industry that supports criminal syndi662-594-3011 (LISTINGS FOR 5/13-5/15/2016) CALL THEATRE OR GO TO MALCO.COM FOR SHOW TIMES

cates.

In recent weeks Gucci America, Michael Kors and Tiffany have quit the Washington D.C.-based coalition, which has more than 250 members.

The AP found several ties between the group’s president and Alibaba: — The president of the coalition, Barchiesi, has owned Alibaba stock since its 2014 listing in New York. The IACC said in a statement that the holdings represent “a small percentage of his investment portfolio.”

— Matthew Bassiur, who took over as vice president of global intellectual property enforcement at Alibaba in January, hired Barchiesi’s son, Robert Barchiesi II, to work at Apple back in 2011. Alibaba said that hire was made on merit.

Apple declined to comment.

— Bassiur is a founding board member of the ICE Foundation, which has been run by Barchiesi’s other son, James Barchiesi, since 2013. That same year, the ICE Foundation board voted to award a contract for “fiscal and operational management” to a private company also run by James Barchiesi. The ICE Foundation, which supports U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees, has received grants of $10,000 from the anti-counterfeiting coalition every year since 2012, tax filings show.

Some members have welcomed Alibaba. “I thought that was a good step forward,” said Brad Buckles, an anti-piracy executive at the Recording Industry Association of America. “Bring them in so that you can complain to them. At the end of the day, if none of it works, you can kick them out.”

Jennifer Kuperman, head of international corporate affairs at Alibaba, said Bassiur’s expertise would help the company “further instill trust in our marketplaces.”

Critics, however, fear Alibaba will use IACC membership to gain legitimacy while papering over fundamental flaws in how it does business.

Gucci and other brands owned by France’s Kering Group allege in U.S. court filings that Alibaba knowingly profits from the sale of fakes. Alibaba has dismissed the case as “wasteful litigation.”

Parents plan to disinherit spendthrift adult children DEAR ABBY: We have an adult son and daughter who can’t handle money and can’t keep a job. Should we tell them they are NOT going to inherit everything we have when my wife and I are gone?

We have bailed them out of trouble more than once, but they don’t seem to learn. They are in their 30s and 40s and neither one is looking for a job.

Anything we left them Abigail would soon Van Buren be squandered, and there are Dear Abby many organizations that could put the money to good use. We would leave them something, but nothing like what they expect. So: Tell them or not? — PERPLEXED IN THE SOUTH DEAR PERPLEXED: In the back of my mind is echoing the Boy Scout motto, “Be prepared.”

You should definitely tell your “children” now, while there’s still time for them to get off their posteriors and start preparing for their financial futures.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a gay teen

who wants to come out and possibly be in a relationship. Many students at school have come out recently, and everyone seems to be embracing our sexual diversity. However, I suspect that many of the kids who have come out may have done it to seem “cool” and be popular. I’m not trying to denounce them for who they believe they are, but it seems to be the hot thing at the moment to be bisexual or gay because so many mainstream celebrities have come out of the closet.

Because of this, many gay students are being bullied by kids who say they’re only doing it for attention and popularity. I don’t want to be subjected to the same bullying they are when I really am attracted to the same sex. — CLOSETED IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR CLOSETED: If you don’t find it safe to come out, my advice is to wait to do it. I find it interesting that your student body is open to accepting gay and bisexual peers, but would accuse some of them of being “secretly straight.” What a switch!

Sexual orientation is a personal thing. No two people are identical in that department.

According to sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, sexuality can be measured on a scale from zero

(which is exclusively straight) to six (exclusively gay) and everyone is on it somewhere. It’s not for others to declare where anyone else belongs.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I hang out with a group of six couples ranging in age from 24 to 74. One day, when three of us women went to lunch, I was complaining about the list of things that needed to be fixed in our home. My dear friend came up with a great idea that works very well, and I want to share it.

Once a month a couple will host a party at their home. The wives prepare a covered dish and we all bring any sort of beverage we would like, from tea to soft drinks, beer and wine.

The men all get to work on the problem until it’s fixed, and then we laugh and eat and drink together. It’s so much fun. We call ourselves ... THE “HONEY DEW” GANG DEAR GANG: I love the concept, which proves not only that “many hands make light work,” but also that honeydew is more than a melon.

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).

Your new goal is invigorating. Of course it’s not enough to state your intention once and then expect miracles. And right now, while the idea is still fresh, you would be wise to affirm it several times a day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Friends will check in on you when they have no reason to do so. You might be surprised how it comforts them just to hear your voice. The important thing is that you know you are loved.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s one of those days when everything reminds you of something.

You’ll circle round and round the same themes you were exploring a decade ago, but this is not futile. It’s a new day, and there is a new way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The code needs you to crack it. You are the key that opens the door. You are the missing puzzle piece and the breath that inflates the balloon. The point is, you are vital the story. The book covers won’t even open without you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Encouragement is a talent of yours. Without you as a cheerleader, your loved one may still score a goal or two, but it will be significantly less exciting. Your enthusiasm is a joyful gift not to be underestimated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

First you’ll learn through other people’s experiences; then you’ll learn through your own, and finally you’ll learn by conversationally comparing the two.

Putting it all into words will be the best part.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone needs an emotional-genius type around. You, in particular, could benefit now from one who will share openly about the experience of knowing you. This is how you’ll understand how creative and unique you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be more valuable to run your ideas by someone who doesn’t agree and will negate every one of them than it is to share with the kind of “yes” people who offer easy validation while diminishing your chances at success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ll be the first to welcome a fresh face. You’re friendly because you can afford to be. You can trust yourself to enforce personal boundaries and defend against most threats a stranger could pose.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The bonds of a relationship will become more flexible.

This doesn’t mean they are any less strong. Think of the tall tree bending to the will of the wind. If it couldn’t do this, it would snap instead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The one being tested may not like it, but there is nothing inherently wrong with putting relationships to the test. How else are you going to know its strengths and limits?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

What appears at first to have the potential to be big love sometimes develops into mild and aimless affection instead. Try not to project too much onto the early stages of a relationship, and definitely refrain from making promises.

Big Papi lifts Red Sox over Astros in 11th Associated Press

BOSTON — David Ortiz hit a winning double with two outs in the 11th inning after lining a tying triple in the ninth and earlier moving into 20th place on the career home run list, sending the Boston Red Sox past the Houston Astros 6-5 on Saturday.

Boston’s Jackie Bradley Jr. singled in the first inning, extending the majors’ longest hitting streak to 20 games.

George Springer hit a grand slam and Carlos Correa a solo homer for the Astros.

Ortiz broke a tie with Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews with his 513th homer.

Houston led 5-4 with two outs in the ninth when Ortiz hit an RBI triple just past diving center fielder Jake Marisnick. After sliding into third, 40-yearold Big Papi got up and pumped both fists toward his dugout following his first triple since June 15, 2013.

In the 11th, Xander Bogaerts singled with two outs against Michael Feliz (1-1) and advanced on a wild pitch before Ortiz hit a drive off the base of the centerfield wall for his 600th career double.

CHS quartet inks college pacts

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Four Corinth High School athletes recently signed scholarships to continue their playing careers in two different sports spread across three institutions of higher learning.

The son of Jody and Monya Hill plans to major in mechanical engineering.

■ Reaves was the staff ace, posting a 9-2 mark with 76 strikeouts in 75 2/3 innings of work. He also led the club in homers (3) and RBI (27) while batting .329.

The righty was named Division 1-4A Pitcher of the Year as a sophomore and shared the award as a junior. He was also named Super 15 in 1-4A

as a freshman.

The son of Brent and Jennifer Mills and Chip Reaves will major in education with the goal of beReaves coming a coach.

He’s been selected to play in the NEMCABB All-Star game as well as the annual statewide Crossroads Diamond Club game.

■ Adams scored a teamhigh 12.8 points per game and was named Division 1-4A Defensive Player of the Year in helping the Lady Warriors reached the State Tournament for the first time in the program’s history.

She scored in double figures 20 times and had three 20-point contests, including a 29-point, 18-rebound performance in a 63-62 win over

She scored double figures in six contests, with a season high of 19. Gunn collected the team award for highest field goal percentage.

Nationals 6, Marlins 4, Game 1; Marlins 7, Nationals 1, Game 2 WASHINGTON — Marcell Ozuna and J.T. Realmuto each drove in two runs and Miami beat Washington to split a doubleheader.

The Nationals won the opener 6-4 behind six strong innings from Stephen Strasburg (6-0). Right after the final out, Washington announced that Bryce Harper had dropped his appeal of a onegame suspension and would sit out the nightcap for his behavior following an ejection on Monday.

The Marlins battered Nationals starter Tanner Roark (2-3) for seven runs in five innings.

Ozuna had five hits in the doubleheader, including three in the second game, extending his hitting streak to 14 games. Justin Bour blasted a solo home run.

Led by Jose Urena (1-0), Miami’s bullpen allowed one run and four hits over six innings. Starter Kendry Flores exited after three innings with a right shoulder strain.

In the first game, Justin Nicolino (21) took the loss and Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his 11th save.

Orioles 9, Tigers 3 BALTIMORE — Jonathan Schoop hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and Baltimore stretched its winning streak to seven games.

Matt Wieters and Adam Jones also homered for the Orioles, who will seek to complete a four-game sweep Sunday.

Schoop hit a solo shot in the seventh and his second career slam in the eighth to finish with a career-high five RBIs. Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer for the Tigers, who have lost 11 of 12.

Wieters hit a two-run drive in the sixth inning to put Baltimore up 3-2 and Schoop’s first home run of the game made it 4-2 in the seventh. Both long balls came off Anibal Sanchez (3-4), who took a two-hit shutout into the sixth.

Orioles rookie Mike Wright (2-3) gave up two runs and three hits over seven innings.

Braves 5, Royals 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mike Foltynewicz pitched a career-high eight scoreless innings, Kelly Johnson and A.J. Pierzynski each drove in two runs, and Atlanta beat Kansas City.

Foltynewicz (1-1) got his first victory since Aug. 8, holding the Royals to seven hits, while striking out four and walking none. The Braves (9-26) avoided matching the worst 35-game start in franchise history — 8-27, set by the 1911 Boston Braves.

Dillon Gee (0-1), making his first start for the Royals in place of the injured Chris Young, held the Braves scoreless on three hits over the first five innings, but retired only one of the six batters he faced in the sixth. He was charged with three runs and six hits, while striking out five and walking three in 51⁄3 innings.

The Royals have lost 13 of 18 and have not won consecutive games since April 21-22.

Yankees 2, White Sox 1 NEW YORK — Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman combined for scoreless relief and struck out eight as New York used its three big bullpen arms in the same game for the first time to secure a victory.

Ivan Nova pitched neatly into the sixth inning to give New York’s ailing rotation a much-needed boost. Aaron Hicks hit an RBI double and Didi Gregorius added a run-scoring single with two outs in the second.

That was enough to squeeze past the stingy White Sox, who began the day with the best record at 24-13 and lowest ERA (3.13) in the American League.

Game 7 will decide Cavs’ opponent

BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press

MIAMI — History is going to happen.

Either Toronto or Miami will become the 15th NBA team to win two Game 7s in the same postseason. The Raptors could go to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time. The

Heat have a shot at being the first team ever to erase 3-2 deficits in consecutive playoff series.

And if that wasn’t enough, LeBron James awaits the winner in the East finals.

The stage is set, the stakes are super-high. The final sec-

ond-round game of this year’s playoffs is Sunday afternoon in Toronto, where the Raptors and Heat will play Game 7 and finally decide their back-andforth, black-and-blue series.

The winner will join Golden State, Oklahoma City and Cleveland as the four teams

left standing in the chase for the NBA championship.

“This is why we’re in this business, to be pushed and tested and challenged,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday. “There’s no greater Please see GAME | 2B

Johnson looks to extend Dover dominance

BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press

DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson fell in love with Dover the first time he turned a lap at the track in the late 1990s.

He can’t quit it, even when it left him with a broken car part.

Johnson’s 2015 championship hopes were over at Dover not because of a wreck, a blown engine or a mistake on pit road.

It was a busted right rear axle seal that sent the No. 48 into the garage and knocked him

out of title contention. Johnson’s bid for a record-tying seventh championship came to a shocking end when he finished 41st and failed to advance to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

The faulty finish was a rare misstep at his favorite track.

Johnson has a record 10 wins at Dover, dominating the mile concrete track like no other driver.

But the last race here was the

worst one for Johnson — and he’s tried to focus on the 10 wins rather than the one that got away.

“You’re going to have bad experiences at all tracks,” Johnson said. “Drivers are going to make mistakes even if it’s at their favorite track. It doesn’t matter. My love for this track ... it’s still just as cool now as it ever has been.”

Johnson won the spring race last year at Dover, placing him among a small group of drivers

who have won 10 races at a single track. Johnson joined NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty (Martinsville-15, North Wilkesboro-15, Richmond-13, Rockingham-11, Daytona-10), Darrell Waltrip (Bristol-12, Martinsville-11, North Wilkesboro-10), Dale Earnhardt (Talladega-10) and David Pearson (Darlington-10) in that group.

Day sets 36-hole record, then hangs on at Players

BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Jason Day set the 36-hole record at The Players Championship on Saturday morning.

By the end of the day, he was hanging on for dear life on a TPC Sawgrass that was frightening as ever.

One aspect never changed: Day looks like he’s going to be tough to beat.

On a vastly different course with greens that felt like glass compared with the opening two rounds, Day overcome two

double bogeys with a strong finish for a 1-over 73 to keep his four-shot lead.

The world’s No. 1 player was on the verge of dropping more shots when he chipped in from 50 feet for par on the 15th hole, made birdie on the par-5 16th and finished at 14-under 202.

Ken Duke (65), Hideki Matsuyama (67) and Alex Cejka (72) were four behind.

The Players Championship turned into the test everyone expected all along — and then some — when a perfect storm of hot, dry and windy weather

made the putting surfaces faster than they have been all week.

Much faster.

“Man, I felt like I was putting on dance floors out there,” Billy Horschel said. “We all did. Augusta is probably the quickest greens we play all year, and I’m sorry, Sawgrass made those greens look like 8s on the Stimpmeter.”

The TPC Sawgrass is scary enough with all that water, and players sometimes only feel safe once they get on the putting surfaces.

On this day, that’s where the fun started.

“The balls were going in the hole at a good holing speed,” Adam Scott said. “But if they missed, they were going 9 feet by. They were as quick as they could possibly be to be playable.”

Such conditions are expected at The Players Championship, especially on the weekend.

The shock was because of the contrast from the opening two rounds, when the greens were Please see PLAYERS | 3B

GAME CONTINUED FROM 1B

challenge than a Game 7.”

The Heat fended off elimination Friday, going with a super-small lineup and beating the Raptors 103-91 in Miami to force a winnertake-all game. Miami won a Game 7 in the first round, topping Charlotte at home.

Toronto also successfully defended home-court in a first-round Game 7, and this series has gone just as that one against Indiana did — Raptors lose at home, win at home, win on the road, lose on the road, win at home, lose on the road.

They hope history repeats itself one more time Sunday.

“Game 7 in the first round was a little more tight,” Raptors guard Kyle Lowry said. “This one Sunday will be ‘Just go out there and hoop.’”

Every team and every year is different, but closeouts seem to never come easily for Toronto.

The Raptors are 2-6 all-time when they have a chance to eliminate an opponent, and lost a Game 7 at home two years ago to Brooklyn — a team that featured current Heat forward Joe Johnson. Lowry and backcourt mate DeMar DeRozan are averaging a combined 42.7 points in the series, but are still shooting a combined 38 percent.

“Our backs will be against the wall,” Raptors forward DeMarre Carroll said. “It’s Game 7 on our home court with our home crowd. What better place do you want to be?”

The Heat, meanwhile, oddly seem to thrive when in trouble.

Miami has won its last four Game 7s, could join the Lakers and Celtics as the only franchises to win five straight, and are 7-1 in

780 CR 500

its last eight games when facing elimination. And Miami has somehow won its last three series after falling into a 3-2 hole.

“You’ve got to give a little more,” said Heat guard Dwyane Wade, the leading scorer in the series at 25.2 points per game. “You’ve got to do a little more. Obviously, it’s a great environment to be in. ... It’s phenomenal. But you’ve got to give everything you have. There’s no tomorrow.

That’s the way we approach it. I think it’s going to be two teams trying to give everything they have. Best team win, man.”

Miami figures to stay with the small lineup, with rookie Justise Winslow the de facto center to open the game — as was the case in Game 6 when Spoelstra rolled the dice and played only eight players, just one standing taller than 6-foot9.

It was unconventional.

It was necessary. And it worked, with Goran Dragic’s 30 points leading the Miami win.

Chris Bosh has been out since February after another blood clot was found, Hassan Whiteside has missed most of this series with a knee injury, and seven of the eight players who got minutes Friday were not with the Heat when they played in the 2014 NBA Finals.

Yet here they are, on the cusp of reaching the conference finals for the seventh time in Wade’s 13 seasons.

“I didn’t want to go down not swinging, so that was pretty much my mentality,” Winslow said. “I’ll approach Game 7 the same way.”

The Raptors could throw a wrench in Miami’s smallball scheme if center Jonas Valanciunas — out since

spraining his ankle in Game 3 — was to return. The Raptors say he’s not ready to play, but the Heat know some sort of adjustment from Toronto is coming.

“We have to respond,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said.

The series has had a little of everything. There was Wade’s anthem flap, inju-

ries to Whiteside and Valanciunas, DeRozan playing through a bad thumb, bloodied faces for Lowry and Dragic, and Carroll and Luol Deng playing through

so soft and receptive that it produced a record number of rounds under par for those days in the 35 years the tournament has been at Sawgrass.

And then it shifted to warp speed.

Mark Russell, the tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president of competition, said the preparations didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change.

All week, the tour has cut the greens twice and rolled them twice. Once the storm-delayed second round ended Saturday morning, the greens were rolled one more time.

The diďŹ&#x20AC;erence was the weather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; low humidity, no cloud cover on a hot day and 20 mph wind from a diďŹ&#x20AC;erent direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting a

20 mile-an-hour wind all day, and the humidity 30 percent, not a cloud in the sky,â&#x20AC;? Russell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they just, you know, sped up on us.â&#x20AC;?

Scott suggested the tour manipulated the conditions. Russell said that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trying to do anything,â&#x20AC;? Russell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the same

thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done all week.â&#x20AC;?

The observations changed as drastically as the greens. For two days, the talk was that this elite championship was playing far too easy.

Day on Thursday and Colt Knost on Friday tied the course record at 9-under 63. Day set the 36-hole mark Saturday morning at 15-under 129.

Ole Miss student honored with Taylor Medal

Summer Sharplin, a senior majoring in elementary education at the University of Mississippi at Booneville, visits with Ole Miss Chancellor Jeffery Vitter after receiving the Taylor Medal.

Summer Sharplin, a senior majoring in elementary education at the University of Mississippi at Booneville, has been awarded the university’s highest academic award, the Taylor Medal, during the annual Honors Convocation, which was April 7 on the Oxford campus.

She is the daughter of Tony and Tammy Sharplin of Ripley.

Attending the awards ceremony with Sharplin were her mother and her 84-year-old grandmother, Thelma Rutherford of New Site. Rutherford herself taught elementary school for 35 years in northeast Mississippi.

“I was so proud to have my grandmother with me,” Sharplin said. “She

“It is just so special to watch a student really grasp a concept we are presenting to them. I get to be their guide and help them to comprehend the subject matter.

There’s really not another feeling like this.”

Summer Sharplin has been my personal teacher my entire life. I hope I become half the teacher she was.”

For many years, Sharplin has heard the good, the bad and the funny stories from one of the many professional educators in her family.

The family legacy of excellence in education began when her grandmoth-

er and grandfather met while serving as teachers in Marietta.

They soon married and started their family while continuing to teach. Her grandfather eventually became superintendent of Tippah County Schools.

Her cousin, Mary Margaret King of New Albany, was honored as Mississippi’s “Teacher of the Year” in 2014 for her work at New Albany High School.

“My mom tells about a time that her dad was actually her history teacher and he threw an eraser at her for talking during class,” Sharplin recalled.

Even though she hadn’t until recently considered pursuing a career as a teacher herself, she became drawn to the profession.

“If anyone had asked me before, I never would have said I was considering becoming a teacher,” Sharplin said. “I really thought I would like to work in the medical profession. I shadowed a few friends who were working in various medical jobs, and I realized it just wasn’t for me.”

Sharplin did, however, enjoy music. She had an opportunity to sing the national anthem at different local and regional events, including a Memphis Redbirds baseball game.

Then she began taking courses at the UM Booneville campus.

“I enrolled in the ‘Music for Children’ class at Ole Miss, and I was hooked,” Sharplin said. “It was then that I knew I had made the right choice to alter my career plans.”

Sharplin is interning as a student teacher for a sixth-grade math class at Hills Chapel School in Booneville.

“At first, I was a little leery of teaching math because I have enjoyed teaching English more,” she said. “I think my professors wanted me to challenge myself, and I am so glad that they did.

I’m really enjoying it. I want to be confident in every subject area.”

Sharplin said that the students she works with each day are her favorite part of teaching.

“It is just so special to watch a student really grasp a concept we are presenting to them,” she said. “I get to be their guide and help them to comprehend the subject matter. There’s really not another feeling like this.”

Virginia Moore, an associate professor of education on the university’s Tupelo and Booneville regional campuses, noticed Sharplin’s commitment to not only her own education, but to the education of the students she worked with during her practicum experiences.

“Summer demonstrates strong leadership abilities and a strong devotion to the teaching profession,” Moore said. “After observing her work in the college setting, I believe she is an exemplary student and one who represents high personal and teaching standards we expect of an Ole Miss student in teacher education.”

Those qualities led Moore to nominate Sharplin this spring for the Taylor Medal.

Established in 1904 in memory of Marcus Elvis Taylor of Booneville, an honored 1871 UM alumnus, Taylor Medals recognize no more than 0.45 percent of all undergraduates, regardless of campus, for meritorious scholarship and deportment.

Recipients must have at least a 3.90 grade-point average.

Sharplin was also inducted into the Kappa Delta Phi education honor society and the prestigious Phi Kappa Phi national academic honor society this spring.

“Summer is extremely passionate about education,” Moore said. “She is motivated and works to keep her students engaged. We are pleased that she has received this honor. She is very deserving.”

Even though she feels she has found the right career path, Sharplin plans to keep learning and hopefully obtain a graduate degree in education.

“I have some big shoes to fill,” she said.

NEW YORK — Michael Strahan wrapped cohost Kelly Ripa in a giant hug in the final moment of their talk show, his exit on Friday accelerated by awkwardness surrounding the announcement of the former football star’s new job at ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

“A lot has happened, a lot has happened,” he said as a clip reel of some light moments on the show rolled — Strahan in a fat suit, wearing red “kinky boots” from the Broadway show, dressed as Serena Williams and in a giant afro wig.

A lot happened in the last month, too, when Ripa made headlines by abruptly taking time off after learning only minutes before the rest of the world that her TV partner was leaving.

Her bosses apologized and Ripa, upon her return, said the incident opened a conversation about workplace respect.

Strahan had been on the show since September 2012, when he replaced Regis Philbin.

ABC had initially said Strahan was to work with Ripa for the rest of the summer, but moved his exit to Friday when the transition was fumbled.

The show now starts an extended period of guest hosts with Ripa, some auditioning to be Strahan’s permanent replacement.

As she sipped from a “Live with Kelly and Michael” mug on Friday, Ripa wryly noted that there will be a run on such merchandise.

“It’s bittersweet,” Strahan said. “Of course, you get nervous like this.

This is a moment I didn’t anticipate being here at this point. But it’s here, and I’m going to enjoy it.”

He said he’ll remain “in the family.” ‘‘Good Morning America,” which is counting on Strahan’s sunny personality to reverse fading ratings, is broadcast right before “Live with Kelly and Michael” in much of the country.

But he became wideeyed when Ripa suggested that he guest-host for her when she goes on vacation in a couple of weeks.

“I don’t know about that,” he said. “When they say ‘too soon?’ Yes.” With Strahan saying he wanted a low-key send-off, they moved swiftly into the show’s fluffy host chat segment.

Ripa recounted seeing New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez in a bar the previous night and told about a hotel stay where the toilet was so tall her feet dangled when she sat.

Actor Matt Bomer was a guest, praising Strahan for his “great intelligence and grace and generosity,” while also noting Ripa looked better than he had ever seen her.

Is NYC too close for celebs’ comfort? Writer nixes a move

BY JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

NEW YORK — When famed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates backed away from moving into a Brooklyn brownstone, he gave voice to celebrities’ qualms about city living.

The National Book Award winner wrote this week that media coverage of his $2.1 million home purchase slammed the door on his planned move, saying he was concerned for his family’s safety and uneasy about the idea of fans showing up on his stoop after the address was published.

“Within a day of reading these articles, my wife and I knew that we could never live” there, he wrote in an essayat TheAtlantic. com.

Coates, whose “Between the World and Me” offers a searing assessment of being black in America, isn’t the first prominent person to try to shield his address or to rue the upclose-and-personal nature of New York.

But in a city where spotting celebrities can be easier than snagging a cab, the idea of a writer lamenting lost privacy to the point of abandoning a low-key Brooklyn neigh-

borhood seemed to draw a new — to some, puzzling — line.

“In New York, a lot of ‘celebrity’ people live among non-celebrities,” notes Ainslie Binder, a 20-year resident of Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, the neighborhood where Coates bought the brownstone. She’d been pleased to think a best-selling author would burnish the area’s growing reputation as a hotspot for writers and other creative people.

In a community where residents stage an annual house tour and plant sidewalk flower barrels together, Coates would be treated “just like everybody else,” she said.

The nation’s biggest city has long been home to the famous and rich, living in settings from Central Park-facing apartments to Brooklyn townhouses.

Even in the see-it-tweetit era, many New Yorkers pride themselves on understated reactions to encountering off-duty stars on the streets, in cafes and elsewhere.

Still, tabloids and widely-read real-estate media regularly delight in reporting who bought where, to the consternation of high-profile buy-

Cryptoquip

ers.

“Privacy is a huge concern,” says Jared Seligman, a broker with Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Sports and Entertainment division, which caters to celebrity clients. Whether the stumbling block is a building board that won’t allow purchases in corporate names or simply a passer-by who sees a celeb walking from limo to lobby, “in New York, it’s very hard to make a move without going onto the radar.”

Not that luminaries don’t try.

Doormen are prevalent, and famously discreet, in high-end buildings. And some notables put a premium on homes or buildings with internal garages or courtyards, so they can drive in unseen, said John Burger, a Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales broker who specializes in super-high-end Manhattan properties.

Fears about being on the public’s map aren’t unfounded in a city that, by nature, can’t match the seclusion of a gated estate.

Celebrities ranging from Uma Thurman to Alec Baldwin have had stalkers show up at their Manhattan homes.

William Shatner looks at 50 years of ‘Star Trek’

BY DAVID FISCHER Associated Press

MIAMI — “Star Trek” has always looked to the future (aside from episodes where the crew fought Nazis, Romans and other things the producers could easily get costumes for), but Capt.

James T. Kirk himself can’t help but be impressed by the franchise’s half-century of history.

Sporting his gold captain’s uniform, William Shatner first swaggered onto the bridge of the starship Enterprise in 1966.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the original television series has spawned four spin-off series and 13 feature films, including this summer’s

“Star Trek Beyond.”

“A unique position for a show that was tremulously hanging on for three years,” Shatner recalled Wednesday during an interview with The Associated Press.

“Each year, it looked like we were going to be canceled. And 50 years later, we’re still talking about ‘Star Trek.’”

The show was canceled in 1969, but a dedicated following of Trekkies and Trekkers (depending on the preference of the fan) kept the series alive in popular culture until the first motion picture in 1979.

Shatner tended to distance himself from fans in those days and even appeared in a 1986 “Saturday Night

Live” sketch where he told a room full of overly enthusiastic convention attendees to “get a life.”

But his feelings about conventions have changed, and Shatner has regularly appeared at events in recent years.

“Some years ago, I made a documentary on the actors who were the captains on ‘Star Trek’ and the qualities that they had in common and what they didn’t have in common,” Shatner said.

The documentary, “The Captains,” was released in 2011, and Shatner began making joint appearances in 2012 with the four spinoff captains, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate

Mulgrew and Scott Bakula.

Shatner continues to attend conventions, the next being MegaCon in Orlando, which runs May 26-29.

He’ll be there May 27-28.

“I make an appearance every so often at these comic cons and answer questions about what people want to hear,” the 85-yearold Shatner said. “It’s been an interesting experience, a joyful experience.”

Reflecting on his history with “Star Trek,” Shatner is happy to see the franchise move forward on the big screen and the small screen. CBS has plans for a new series on its upcoming video-on-demand service.

“I think it’s wonderful.

I’m looking forward to it,”

Shatner said. “Some of the iterations have been good, and some have been not as good. But generally it excites the public’s interest.”

Shatner acknowledged that he’d like to appear in one of the new films, similar to the way his original series co-star Leonard Nimoy reprised his role as Spock in the last two films, but Shatner isn’t sure how that would work.

“How do you account for the passage of all this time and what 50 years does to your face and body?” Shatner said. “So it’s a tough one.”

Whether Shatner ever plays Kirk again, he continues to keep busy. He appeared in several episodes

last year of the Syfy channel series “Haven.” He released a book earlier this year about his relationship with the late Nimoy, “Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man.” Capt. Kirk has now excited and inspired several generations of fans, and Shatner can’t deny the impact the character has had on his life and career.

“The character’s been around for 50 years, and it’s given me entree into the variety things that I’ve done,” Shatner said. “So as a result of the celebrity acquired by being on ‘Star Trek,’ all these other things flowed. So I know that I owe ‘Star Trek’ a great debt, and I never forget it.”

next school year is underway at First Baptist Church Preschool/ Kindergarten. There are preschool classes for 3 and 4year olds and kindergarten classes for 5 year olds.

The school strives to provide students with an outstanding academic curriculum while at the same time teaching them Bible stories, memorizing scripture and learning about Jesus.

The curriculum meets standards outlined by the Mississippi Department of Education. Three year olds attend school two days a week, four year old students can attend three or five days a week and the kindergarten classes attend five days a week. All classes are half day.

The school opens at 7:45 a.m. and all classes are dismissed by noon.

Those interested in a challenging preschool and/or kindergarten curriculum presented in a loving Christian environment should call or come by the church to register.
