MRHC changing culture with improvement system

Dodgeball raising concerns

BY ZACK STEEN

A change in culture has been taking place at Magnolia Regional Health Center over the last several years.

In 2012, executives at MRHC realized that a process improvement system needed to be implemented at the hospital. The Lean methodology was the answer, and since its implementation, processes have improved and employees and patients are happier.

Lean, a process improvement methodology that involves creating more value for customers with fewer resources, was first used by Henry Ford in the early 1900s, as a way to integrate an entire production process. Later, in the 1930s, it was reinvented by Toyota, as they strived to eliminate large amounts of waste and improve their work flow throughout the entire car building process.

“It’s all about making patient

Alcorn School District board member Mary Coleman didn’t dodge a questionable topic during this week’s school board meeting.

Among the full slate of fundraiser requests submitted by seven different schools in the district, one raised concern from the second-year board president.

The Alcorn Central Middle School football team requested permission from the board to host a fundraiser dodgeball class tournament.

“I’ve seen a dodgeball tournament and many times there will be some participants who might be targeted for bullying during a game,” said Coleman.

“That may not be an issue during this particular tournament, but I think it should be a concern of the people in charge of the event.”

care better than ever,” said Angela Nowlin, Senior Vice President of Operations at MRHC. “Lean is a culture that involves respect for people and continuous improvement. If we respect our employees and their opinions and allow them to continually improve the work environment and the processes we deliver to the patient, then we will grow as an organization, cut waste, and provide the best and most efficient care possible.”

Historically, Lean has mostly been used for process improvements in a manufacturing setting, but the methodology has evolved and is used in a multitude of situations these days. Since Lean is a way of thinking and acting for an entire organization, businesses in all industries and services have now implemented it to help with their processes. Many entities in the healthcare and government settings now rely on this methodology to better operate on a dayto-day basis in their respective areas.

“Several local manufactures, including Caterpillar, have had a Lean system in place for many years,” said Ronny Humes, CEO at MRHC. “We have had many employees tour the Caterpillar plant to see how they

operate and how new processes are implemented while using the Lean methodology.”

Several MRHC executives have also toured Virginia Mason, a hospital in Seattle that is noted as one of the first to implement a Lean system in a healthcare setting. By seeing how others were doing it, MRHC executives were able to bring back some best practice techniques to help implement the way of thinking at their own hospital. The system and way of thinking is so ingrained in the hospital that weekly meetings are held and multiple coaches are used to assist staff in their growth and implementations of Lean strategies.

“People ask me all the time if I do something with exercise,” joked Kari Beth Nash, Director of Patient Experience and Lean Promotions at MRHC. “They see or hear the word Lean, and they have no idea what it is.”

Nash, and Lean coaches/facilitators, Penny McDonald and Rob Brown, are in charge of maintaining the Lean culture and training staff on the Lean system. Hospital staff is involved in weekly, monthly, and yearly meetings that are solely focused on Lean thinking, and often times, serves as a place where they can discuss process improvement ideas and results that have come from projects they have already implemented. The hospital also installed a pick board where employees can submit ideas on how to improve a work area or work flow at the facility.

“We like for every employee to submit at least

two ideas a year,” added Nash. “It doesn’t have to be a big idea, so long as they are thinking in a forward and efficient way, we know they are headed in the right direction and the idea may help the hospital.”

There are a variety of Lean projects that are going on at the hospital on any given day, and they range on the scale of how grandiose they are. Some changes, patients might notice, and others, they may not because they may have been implemented for internal purposes. An example Lean project for the hospital is improving E.R. times.

“Improving patient flow in and out of the E.R. has been a focus area for all of us,” said Nowlin. “We know this is something that we were doing pretty well on, but we also knew we had some room to be better. By using the Lean system, we have been able decrease overall E.R. wait time by 30 minutes.”

The Lean journey at MRHC hasn’t always been an easy one, but it has been a rewarding one. When it was first implemented, there were growing pains, as with anything else. The culture has definitely shifted in the right direction and the hospital is performing its daily tasks in a more efficient way.

“It’s definitely been a journey for everyone at the hospital, because of the change in culture,” said Nowlin. “In a time when healthcare is constantly changing, Lean is the tool to help us survive for the long-term and it better equips us to be more flexible and adaptable as change occurs.”

Today in History Today is Sunday, May 17, the 137th day of 2015. There are 228 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On May 17, 1875, the first Kentucky Derby was run; the winner was Aristides, ridden by Oliver Lewis.

On this date: In 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its origins as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street.

In 1814, Norway’s constitution was signed, providing for a limited monarchy.

In 1912, the Socialist Party of America nominated Eugene V. Debs for president at its convention in Indianapolis.

In 1939, Britain’s King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Quebec on the first visit to Canada by a reigning British monarch.

In 1940, the Nazis occupied Brussels, Belgium, during World War II. In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, unanimously struck down racially segregated public schools.

In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro offered to release prisoners captured in the Bay of Pigs invasion in exchange for 500 bulldozers. (The prisoners were eventually freed in exchange for medical supplies.)

In 1973, a special committee convened by the U.S. Senate began its televised hearings into the Watergate scandal.

In 1980, rioting that claimed 18 lives erupted in Miami’s Liberty City after an all-white jury in Tampa acquitted four former Miami police officers of fatally beating black insurance executive Arthur McDuffie.

In 1987, 37 American sailors were killed when an Iraqi warplane attacked the U.S. Navy frigate Stark in the Persian Gulf. (Iraq apologized for the attack, calling it a mistake, and paid more than $27 million in compensation.)

In 1995, Jacques Chirac was sworn in as president of France, ending the 14-year tenure of Socialist Francois Mitterrand.

In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to allow legal same-sex marriages.

Ten years ago: British lawmaker George Galloway denounced U.S. senators in testimony on Capitol Hill, denying accusations that he’d profited from the U.N. oil-for-food program and accusing them of unfairly tarnishing his name.

Across the Region Walnut man killed in Tippah County crash

Record preservation project complete

WALNUT — The Mississippi Highway Patrol is still investigating an afternoon crash in Tippah County that claimed the life of a Walnut resident.

Troopers responded to the crash at 4:35pm, Thursday, May 14, on MS 15 near Walnut.

When Troopers arrived it appeared Timothy W. Jones, 57, of Walnut, was traveling north bound, in a 2001 Ford F150, when he lost control of his vehicle and collided into a ditch.

Jones received fatal injuries during the crash and died after being transported to a local hospital.

BOONEVILLE — A project to preserve some of the county’s oldest and most vital records is now in the books.

All warranty deeds ever filed with the Prentiss County Chancery Clerk’s office have now been electronically scanned and converted into digital files.

Chancery Clerk Bubba Pounds said the completion of the project marks the end of a lengthy process supported by the county’s leaders to protect the key records. Warranty deeds document the ownership and transfer of property.

Pounds said the documents are not only important legal re-

cords, but help tell the history of the county.

The final group of documents, dating as far back as July 7, 1836, were scanned and digitally converted by the Windward Group of New Orleans — a company specializing in record preservation. Clerk’s office employees had previously scanned approximately 165 deed books, but the older books were too large and fragile for the county’s equipment.

The digital files are stored both on servers inside the building for access by the public and on backup hard drives in the county’s bank vault for safekeeping. Pounds said the project protects the records for the future, makes them more accessible

and reduces the need to handle the fragile paper records.

Edsel Holden to present Florence concert FLORENCE, Ala. — Edsel Holden will present a concert with ‘My Shining Hour’ at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 7, at the Shoals Theatre in Florence.

Proceeds from the concert will aid the theatre with continued renovations.

and Martha Hammond, who lost her battle with cancer more than 35 years ago.

“Candy was very much an inspiration to all of those who knew her when her life was cut short,” said Perry. “Last year, we also played in the memory of Amber Peeks from Booneville, who also lost her battle with cancer.”

Each year funds raised from the tournament are sent to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. In the last two years, the event has donated more than $15,000 to St. Jude.

The tournament provides two USTA sanctioned events offering a junior and adult division.

The junior division normally consists of around 50 players, while the adult division contains 120 to 130 players.

Though most players are from Corinth and North Mississippi, the six-dayevent welcomes players from around the state and country.

“We offer very unique experience for tennis players by offering both a junior and adult division at the same tournament,” said Perry.

“An entire family can come out and play in our tournament. Both a dad and son or mom and daughter can compete.”

The entry deadline for the junior division is May 23, while the deadline for the adult division is May 26.

All participants will receive a t-shirt.

A court-side picnic lunch will be provided for junior players, while a court-side picnic supper will be provided for adult players and sponsors on the opening day of each division.

A court-side picnic lunch will also be provided for the adult tournament participants on May 30.

Tournament organizers are launching a new event this year for participants over 21 years old.

“On May 30, we will be hosting a happy hour wine tasting event,” said Perry.

“Live music will also be provided.”

Several downtown restaurants will also host an Appetizers for St. Jude event that night.

Official: Gun used to kill officers found Associated Press

JACKSON — The gun used to fatally shoot two Hattiesburg police officers has been found.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain said city workers cutting the grass along a street found the .40-caliber pistol that police believe Marvin Banks used to shoot the officers. Strain said the ballistic tests confirm that

the gun fired the bullets used in the shooting.

Two more people were arrested Friday on charges related to the killings, bringing the number of people implicated to seven. The MBI charged Douglas D. McPhail, 21, and Anquanette L. Alexander, 19, with obstruction of justice for actions investigators say they took after the shootings to help people involved.

charts including “Revival” and “Finish Well.” They are also three-time GMA Dove winners.

Also performing this year include The Dunaways and the Old Paths Quartet.

“The Dunaways are a Mississippi based group who will make their first appearance is Corinth with us,” said Rich. “The Old Paths Quartet from Atlanta are also coming to Corinth for the first time.”

Held in memory of the late Leon Frazier, who was an instrumental member of Kiwanis and the community, proceeds from the concert will benefit the Kiwanis scholarship fund.

Over the years, the event has helped raise more than $174,000 awarding 218 scholarships to Alcorn County high school seniors.

“As a Kiwanian, I am convinced that the scholarship program is more than just money to many of

the recipients for, it is an encouragement that someone believes in them,” said Rich. “I am honored to a small part of such a wonderful group and stand amazed at all the good that is given to our community through the Kiwanis clubs efforts.”

After 10 new scholarships are awarded, Frazier’s daughter DuJuana Frazier Thompson and her family will open the show.

The show will also feature the winner of the June 5 Kiwanis Talent Contest.

“The talent contest is open to anyone to enter,” added Rich. “Prize money is awarded and an opportunity to open for Karen Peck & New River is on the line. The winner will also have a free entry into the Alcorn County Fair Talent Show.”

Our View

Literacy council needs volunteers In today’s world of technology where emails and texts are primary sources of communication, it’s hard to believe we have adults in our community who can’t read.

But it’s true.

It’s the mission of the Corinth-Alcorn Literacy Council to stamp out illiteracy.

But they can’t do it without the help of volunteers.

For each person who can’t read, there is a need for a tutor to work one-on-one with the student.

An opportunity to help a person with a lifechanging experience is on the horizon.

Training and certifying new adult literacy tutors, the literacy council will hold two upcoming Tutor Training Workshops. They will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, and Saturday, June 13, in the Corinth Library auditorium. An orientation will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Friday, May 29.

Tutors must take 15 hours of instruction to become certified.

Eligible individuals are those who are 18 years or older and are willing to volunteer their time and efforts to help others in the community learn to read English. There is no cost.

What a potential tutor can expect to learn: ■ Introduction to Language Acquisition ■ Collaborative Learning Process ■ Goal Setting ■ Modeled Reading ■ Developing a Student’s Level ■ Three Views of Reading ■ Language Experience Approach ■ Sight Word, Phonics and Word Pattern Techniques ■ Reading Comprehension and Techniques for Developing Writing Skills ■ Using Real-life Materials ■ Formal and Informal Assessments ■ Lesson Planning Training for adult literacy tutors is based on the “Principals of Effective Training” shared

by Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc. A stunning pro-literacy statistic compiled in 2011 showed over 63 million American adults lacked basic literacy skills. That was almost 30 percent of the population.

According to the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy, Mississippi had one of the highest rates of functional illiteracy in the United States.

Over 15 percent of Alcorn County citizens currently function at or below fifth grade literacy levels, according to the literacy council.

Alarming. But we can help to do something about it.

If you desire to help enrich the life of someone else by teaching them to read, becoming a volunteer tutor could be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

Baltimore’s woes not rooted in racist police Attorney General Loretta Lynch has announced a Justice Department investigation to determine whether the Baltimore Police Department’s practices are unconstitutional and violate civil rights; in short, whether or not the police force there is racist. It will come as no surprise if the investigation concludes that it is, because accusing the department of racism diverts attention from the city’s real problem: Baltimore, a laboratory for liberal policies, is a failed city that has shortchanged the poor for decades.

Baltimore has received over $1.8 billion in stimulus money from the Obama administration, including $467.1 million to invest in education and $26.5 million for crime prevention.

Still, parts of the city remain mired in poverty and despair. There are 16,000 vacant buildings in Baltimore and an unknown number of “vacant” fathers. Between 2000 and 2010, Baltimore lost 5 percent of its population. The liberal solution of raising taxes hasn’t worked.

Many of those who could escape the city have.

ban center in America is run by Democrats – more specifically, liberal progressives, black or white,” writes former Congressman Allen

West.

It is undeniable that it is liberal policies that have failed – from anti-poverty programs, to dysfunctional schools from which they refuse to let the poor escape because of the political donations they receive from teachers’ unions.

Yes, Maryland has a history of racist policies, from once denying blacks the vote, to banks red lining minority neighborhoods so people of color could not get mortgages, but many other states share this history. We need to move forward and find a better way, rooting out racist policies wherever they exist. The major problem for the left, however, is that they continue to concentrate on failure and poverty, rather than on success and prosperity. When selfsufficiency is encouraged,

you get more of it; when it is ignored or discouraged, you get less. Attacks on “the rich” have done nothing to improve the lives of the poor.

If politicians were sincere about helping people escape their bad circumstances, they would flood neighborhoods with people who tell stories about how they escaped similar circumstances by refusing to accept a life of poverty. Inspiration is the starting point for improving lives. If one hears only about racism and injustice, nothing is gained, but if one hears about alternative paths to a productive life, painful history does not have to repeat itself.

As the song says, “It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish.”

A Johns Hopkins University study by sociologist Karl Alexander found that what “really makes a difference between prison and college, success and failure, sometimes even life and death – are family and money.”

Alexander’s stories of people who managed to escape poverty should serve as examples for those left behind. One is about Monica Jaundoo, now of Parkville,

Md., about 10 miles outside Baltimore. Jaundoo, a single mother of two, grew up in deplorable surroundings, but vowed her own children wouldn’t. She got a job and managed to get them in better schools. They are both on the honor roll and the older one is looking at colleges.

There are many similar stories. Why aren’t they the focus of attention instead of racism and increased spending on failed government programs?

The answer is a cynical one, I know, but arguably true: Liberal Democrats might lose a core constituency if more people became independent, or not as dependent, on government.

Republicans and conservatives have a great opportunity to move into Baltimore and other inner cities with a message of hope and success. They might not initially get votes for their efforts, but they will have the satisfaction of improving lives, something government programs and civil rights investigations cannot hope to do.

Six new judge posts on Nov. 3 ballot

BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Capitol Dome

JACKSON — Voters in some parts of central and southern Mississippi will elect new judges this fall because legislators created three new judgeships for chancery court and three for circuit court.

Lawmakers file a handful of bills each session to seek additional judges for their regions. State law specifies what criteria should be considered, including population of the district, the number of cases filed there, the caseload of each judge and the geographic area of the district.

Rep. Mark Baker, R-Brandon, chairman of the House Judiciary A Committee, said past decisions on new judges often came back to caseload and a few other factors. He said that during the 2015 session, his committee looked initially at the number of residents compared to the number of judges.

“We ranked the districts on population, looked at that along with caseload and keeping in mind the number of new judges we could afford. Then, we put the pieces of the puzzle together,” Baker said.

House Bill 703, signed last month by Gov. Phil Bryant, sets a June 1 qualifying deadline for those running for the new judgeships, and the election is Nov. 3 — the same day that voters elect eight statewide officials, including a governor; several regional officials; 174 legislators and a slew of county officials.

Judicial candidates run without party labels, and the six new judges will take office Jan. 1 to serve abbreviated, three-year terms.

Starting with the next regularly scheduled judicial elections in 2019, the judges in the new posts will serve regular, four-year terms.

House Bill 703 provides for one new judge each in the: ■ 4th Chancery District in Amite, Franklin, Pike and Walthall counties.

2014 but did approve 16 new assistant district attorneys across the state to go also with substantial changes to the criminal justice system. The changes were supported by judges, prosecutors and lawmakers who spent months studying the criminal justice system.

The changes also impacted how the courts would operate.

The changes require anyone convicted of a violent offense to serve at least 50 percent of a sentence, and anyone convicted of a nonviolent offense to serve at least 25 percent. Judges received more flexibility to impose alternate sentences, such as ordering treatment for drug users. Circuit courts were authorized to establish treatment programs for military veterans who might have traumatic brain injuries, depression or drug and alcohol problems.

For the first time, Mississippi law specified which crimes are classified as violent, for sentencing purposes.

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

Mom, daughter return to U.S. FRESNO, Texas — A Texas woman and her long-missing daughter arrived Saturday morning in Houston, ending an eight-year crossborder case that had mistakenly sent another girl to the U.S. against her will.

Houston resident Dorotea Garcia and 13-year-old Alondra Diaz arrived at Bush Intercontinental Airport on Saturday morning from Guadalajara, Mexico.

“I love her, and I am so happy having her here,” Garcia said to reporters later in the day.

Diaz, a native-born U.S. citizen, was taken to Mexico in 2007 by her father without her mother’s consent and Diaz’s whereabouts hadn’t been known until recently.

The case gained attention last month after a judge in Mexico erroneously ruled that 14-year-old Alondra Luna was the missing girl and ordered her turned over to Garcia.

DNA testing showed she wasn’t Garcia’s daughter and she returned to her real family.

Amtrak to expand speed control system PHILADELPHIA — Federal officials have ordered Amtrak to expand use of a speed restriction system in the area of Tuesday’s deadly derailment to northbound trains like the one that went off the rails in Philadelphia at more than 100 mph, killing eight people.

Saturday’s emergency order from the Federal Railroad Administration involves the automatic train control system.

The system notifies the engineer when a train is above the speed limit and automatically applies the brakes if the engineer doesn’t respond.

It was already being used for southbound trains approaching the curve where the derailment occurred.

Amtrak has said it plans to install a nextgeneration system for the entire corridor by year’s end.

Apperson released on $35,000 bond LAKE MARY, Fla. — A man who shot at George Zimmerman during a confrontation along a busy central Florida road has been ordered by a judge to turn in his weapons and avoid contact with Zimmerman.

Matthew Apperson made his first appearance before a judge Saturday. The Orlando Sentinel reports he was released on $35,000 bond after being charged Friday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a missile into an occupied conveyance.

Zimmerman’s attorney said the former neighborhood watch volunteer was driving to a doctor’s appointment Monday when Apperson intentionally fired his gun into Zimmerman’s truck without provocation.

Zimmerman and Apperson were involved in a road-rage episode last September.

Holyfield jabs Romney for charity SALT LAKE CITY — Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and fivetime heavyweight boxing champion Evander Holyfield squared off in the ring at a charity fight night event in Salt Lake City.

Romney, 68, and Holyfield, 52, sparred, if you could call it that, for just two short rounds Friday before Romney ran away from the boxer and threw in the towel, giving up a round early in the lighthearted fight

that came amid several other fights by professional boxers and an auction.

The black-tie affair raised money for the Utah-based organization CharityVision, which helps doctors in developing countries perform surgeries to restore vision in people with curable blindness.

Google car heading to public streets MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — The latest version of Google’s self-driving car — a pod-like twoseater that needs no gas pedal or steering wheel — will make its debut on public roads this summer, a significant step in the technology giant’s mission to have driverless cars available to consumers in the next five years.

This prototype is the first vehicle built from scratch for the purpose of self-driving, Google says. It looks like a Smart car with a shiny black bowler hat to hide its sensors, and it can drive, brake and recognize road hazards without human intervention.

It has more capabilities than the prototype Google introduced last May, which was so rudimentary it had fake headlights.

The new pod isn’t designed for a long trip, or a joyride. It lacks air bags and other federally required safety features, so it can’t go more than 25 miles per hour. It’s electric, and has to be recharged after 80 miles. And the pod can only drive in areas that have been thoroughly mapped by Google.

At first, it will likely even have a steering wheel and gas pedal — current California regulations require them. Those regulations also require a driver to be able to take back control of the car at any time. But Google is lobbying for more flexible regulations.

Court system recruiting interpreters LONG BEACH — The Mississippi Administrative Office of Courts will introduce bilingual speakers to the requirements for court interpreting on June 17-18 in Long Beach.

Three seminars are conducted each year in the northern, central and southern regions of the state. The fall seminar is scheduled for Oct. 7-8 in Tupelo at the Community Development Foundation Center.

The AOC developed the Mississippi Court Interpreter Credentialing Program to assist the courts in Mississippi in their endeavors to provide equal access to justice for limited English proficiency individuals.

The AOC provides judges in all state courts with a list of approved language interpreters.

Thirteen interpreters currently are credentialed

by AOC.

Feds seek to merge segregated schools CLEVELAND — A federal judge must decide whether this Mississippi Delta college town’s school system is an oasis of integration or a glaring example of continued segregation.

The court hearing opening Monday before U.S. District Judge Debra Brown in Greenville is something of a dinosaur.

Court desegregation orders were common in the 1970s and 1980s, but have become much more unusual.

On the surface, what’s at issue is balancing the white and black population at different schools.

But the case is also about whether racism has eased, and whether whites will flee Cleveland if ordered to shift schools as they did in dozens of other Mississippi districts following court-ordered integration. Many of those all-black school

districts are in towns with moribund economies and free-falling populations, and white city leaders fear the same fate for Cleveland. The district instead is pushing integration by choice, relying on magnet school programs.

With 3,700 students, the Cleveland district is about 30 percent white and two thirds black, with the remaining 4 percent of students Asian or Hispanic. Students are distributed unevenly, though.

At Cleveland High School and Margaret Green Junior High School, whites are more than 40 percent of students. But there are no white students at East Side High School or D.M. Smith Middle School, which were all-black by law before courts ordered integration.

That disparity is why the 49-year-old desegregation lawsuit roared back from dormancy in 2011. The Justice Department said school officials failed to meet their duties to integrate East Side and D.M. Smith, and a judge agreed in 2012.

That judge abolished attendance lines and said parents and students could choose schools.

The Justice Department appealed, saying such freedom-of-choice plans have proved ineffective, and the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a fresh plan.

CCB taps Gilbert as interim leader MAYHEW — Deborah Gilbert will become the interim leader of Mississippi Community College Board, after an impasse among board members stymied their ability to choose a permanent executive director.

The board announced that it voted unanimously Friday at a meeting at East Mississippi Community College in Mayhew to name Gilbert. Now deputy executive director for finance and administration, Gilbert, an accountant who has worked for the board since 1988,

will become interim executive director on July 1.

She succeeds Eric Clark, who is retiring after holding the post for seven years.

The board coordinates the state’s 15 independently governed community and junior colleges.

The board also voted Friday to hire Malcolm Portera, former president of Mississippi State University and former chancellor of the University of Alabama system, to lead a search for a permanent leader.

The 10-member board was deadlocked for months in a dispute over whether it would hire Debra West as its new executive director or restart the search. That standoff ended only when West withdrew her nomination in April.

In December, a group sought to hire West but was defeated on a 5-5 vote. A group that voted against West, including Martin, sought to reopen the search after reviewing the qualifications.

That effort failed on the same 5-5 deadlock, with West’s supporters opposing it.

Woman sentenced to 40 years in killing COLUMBUS — A 29-year-old Columbus woman has been convicted of second degree murder in the 2013 fatal stabbing for her boyfriend.

According to local media reports, Chaddy Brooks was convicted Thursday by a Lowndes County jury in the death of 37-year-old Danielle Gore at an apartment they shared in Columbus.

Circuit Judge Jim Kitchens sentenced Brooks to 40 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Brooks stabbed Gore, her boyfriend, while the two were fighting the morning of Nov. 22, 2013. Brooks testified that a text message she found from another female on Gore’s phone sparked the argument.

House Republicans plan highway funds extension

BY ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Republicans introduced a two-month extension of the federal highway and mass transit program Friday, barely two weeks before the government’s authority to help finance projects around the country expires.

Republicans from both chambers said they expected Congress to approve the legislation next week.

Lawmakers are scheduled to leave the capital by next Friday for a weeklong Memorial Day recess. Without an extension, officials worry that federal cash infusions to projects around the country would slow or halt just as the summer construction season begins.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz charged that it would be a “dereliction of responsibility” for lawmakers to return to their districts without approving the legislation. “They should

not leave town before doing that,” he said Friday.

Legislators have long wanted to craft a longterm extension of the program but have repeatedly gridlocked over how to pay for it. As a result, Congress has approved a series of shortterm extensions — most recently, one enacted last summer that expires June 1.

The bulk of federal road building money comes from the federal gasoline tax, which has been 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993. There is also a 24.4 cents-pergallon diesel fuel tax, also unchanged in two decades.

Fearing retribution from voters, lawmakers have been leery of raising that tax, even as vehicles become more fuel-efficient and inflation rises. The trust fund has veered near insolvency several times since 2008, with Congress keeping it afloat with general Treasury funds.

Two top House law-

makers — Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster, R-Pa., and Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis. — said in a written statement that they want to extend the highway program through 2015. Financing it through July will provide legislators more time to find a way to do that, they said.

“Doing so will require our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to be constructive in working toward a solution,” they said.

Ryan and Shuster said there is enough money left in the federal highway trust fund to last through July, but an extension is needed of federal authority to provide the aid to the states.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, supports the two-month extension to give lawmakers time to find a longer-term solution, said spokeswoman Julia Lawless.

Obamas think of life after White House Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Presidential library? Check.

Future home? TBD. The decision by President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, to build his presidential library in Chicago scratches one item from their to-do list for life after the White House.

Remaining decisions aren’t as pressing as where to put the library and likely will come near the end of his term or after he leaves the building in mid-January 2017.

Mrs. Obama says that’s a good thing because “we still have a lot to do in these two years, and it’s hard to do this and think about the next steps. I think the time will come when it will feel right to start thinking about what’s next, but until now it’s really about solidifying the work that we’re doing here.”

Some of the decision-

making that lies ahead for the Obamas:

Books, speaking circuit Publishing houses will pay millions for the memoirs of the first black U.S. president and first lady.

Former President Bill Clinton received a reported $10 million advance for his memoir, “My Life.”

His wife, former first lady and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, is said to have received $8 million for her book, “Living History.”

Both Obamas are already published authors.

Speakers’ bureaus are also likely to court them.

Future careers Obama has talked about returning to teaching and to the community organizing work

he did before politics.

Obama also says he’ll stay involved with a support program he started for boys and young men of color. He recently announced that a new foundation will continue the program after he leaves office.

“I’ll go back to doing the kinds of work that I was doing before, just trying to find ways to help people — help young people get educations, and help people get jobs, and try to bring businesses into neighborhoods that don’t have enough businesses,” Obama said.

Mrs. Obama plans to stay engaged with her four major initiatives: reducing childhood obesity, helping military veterans and their families, encouraging high school students to attend college or technical school, and educating girls around the world.

ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson leans back in his chair, smiles and explains why he’s so happy.

His airline cancels fewer flights than the competition, complaints are down and, most importantly, Delta is making record profits — despite a bad bet on oil prices.

In an industry that, until recently, was famous for its losses, it’s rare to hear a CEO speaking so optimistically about the future. But a wave of mergers has left four big U.S. airlines controlling the majority of flights and stopped the frequent fare wars that benefited fliers but devastated the airlines’ profitability.

With a healthy balance sheet, Anderson, who just turned 60, is now focusing on a fight with government-backed Middle East airlines, building longterm partnerships with other international carriers and improving the onboard experience for passengers. That starts with making sure flights get where they need to.

Anderson boasts that last year, Delta saw 95 days without a single cancellation in its mainline fleet; other carriers only had a handful. “We’re ready for the summer,� Anderson says. “Our reliability’s going to be off-the-charts good.�

In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Anderson spoke

about Cuba, the best jets for his fleet and getting Delta out of its junk bond status. Here are the highlights:

Fuel prices Anderson is confident that lower oil prices are here to stay. He’s basing business decisions on oil costing $50 to $100 a barrel and a prediction that the U.S. will be able to supply all of its petroleum domestically by 2020 thanks to advances in drilling technology.

The U.S. government isn’t as optimistic about energy independence.

The Energy Department expects the country to rely on imports for 14 percent of its oil and petroleum fuel needs in 2020 and 17 percent in 2040. That’s still a far cry from the 60 percent imported in 2006, the high point before the U.S. oil boom.

Delta paid $2.29 a gallon during the first three months of this year, down from $3.06 during the same period last year.

That 25-percent savings adds up fast; Delta burns through 3.9 billion gallons of fuel a year.

The carrier did forfeit some of those savings because of a financial bet, called hedging, that oil prices would go higher.

New jets When fuel cost more, most airlines rushed to order new planes from Airbus and Boeing, air-

craft that are more efficient but carry a larger price tag. Over time, the fuel savings offsets the higher upfront cost. But with fuel prices now 39 percent lower than just three years ago, the payback takes longer.

Delta took a different approach, refurbishing its aging fleet, buying some used jets and purchasing new planes to fill the gaps.

Anderson has no plans to change that strategy.

United Airlines recently followed, obtaining some used jets.

Anderson is eyeballing the 787-10, which isn’t yet in production. Delta is under contract for 18 Boeing 787-8s, the smallest Dreamliner variant, but Anderson prefers the stretched version.

Cuba Delta will fly to Cuba — someday. “Everyone believes that Cuba is this panacea and I don’t see it,� Anderson says. “It’s the result of central planning gone awry. I mean, Cuba has no infrastructure. It doesn’t have a real economy. How do we think this suddenly is going to support dozens and dozens of non-stop flights a day?�

Additionally, Cuba will compete with Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Mexico and dozens of other beach destinations.

He also suggests incentives for firms to build the infrastructure needed for large-scale tourism.

International markets Anderson is focused on other international markets, primarily Mexico.

A liberalization of flight rules with the U.S. expected next year could help Delta expand in Mexico, which Anderson calls “a great trading partner.�

Anderson wants to expand Delta’s international reach but diversify routes to protect against regional economic difficulties. Today, the airline and its partner airlines have international hubs in Tokyo, Paris, London, Amsterdam and Rome.

Within five years, he plans to build up operations in Shanghai, Mexico City and Sao Paulo.

As Anderson looks to Asia, he wants to expand Delta’s partnerships with China Southern in Beijing and “our real focus,� China Eastern in Shanghai.

Delta is working with China Eastern on a joint airport lounge and an executive exchange program.

The competition Anderson says he follows other airlines’ key Security and Exchange Commission filings, “but I don’t pay much attention to earnings calls.�

Anderson says Delta’s balance sheet will be investment-grade by the end of the year; now he just needs to convince the bond-rating agencies to raise their appraisal of his airline.

Fake Avon bid disrupts company’s stocks Associated Press

NEW YORK — An apparently bogus offer to take over Avon Products that appeared on a regulatory website sent its stock on a wild ride Thursday and raised questions about the security of the online service, a trusted source of news for investors.

Shares of Avon jumped as much as 20 percent after the takeover offer appeared on the website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a regulator that oversees stock markets.

But investors soon began to doubt the offer was real, and the stock gave up much of that gain.

A company calling itself PTG Capital Partners said in a document filed with the SEC that it would pay $8 billion for Avon, an enormous premium for investors in the cosmetic giant. But Avon said it had received no takeover offers, and couldn’t even confirm if PTG exists. Calls to PTG, which claimed London as its headquarters in the filing, went unanswered.

The SEC’s filing system is a trusted source for in-

“Any time you put out false information in the marketplace, you leave a trail that can be followed by law enforcement.

This trail goes right through the SEC.�

Jordan Thomas Labaton Sucharow partner vestors seeking important and timely disclosures from companies that can affect stock prices.

The fact that a seemingly fake filing about a major company managed to get posted through the SEC came as a big surprise to many in the markets.

Robert Heim, a former lawyer at the SEC, said a handful of fake filings turn up every year, but they often involve companies that don’t exist. This one, which he described as a “blatant hoax,� was the first he’s heard of that moved the stock of such a big company. “The SEC has so many forms being filed, I don’t think it can check every one,� Heim said.

The entity calling itself PTG said that it had

Our clients’ interests come first.

(ULF 0 5XWOHGJH &)3Š $$06Š

submitted a bid of $18.75 per share to the board at Avon. That was almost triple the stock’s closing price on Wednesday.

The filing contained many red flags raising questions about its authenticity, including numerous typographical errors and two different spellings of the company’s own name. That would be highly unusual in an authentic regulatory filing, which would receive close scrutiny from companies before being posted.

Another former SEC lawyer said using the agency’s filing service to push up a stock would be a brazen act, much like using unwitting police officers to pull off a heist. “It’s not some bogus blog post that’s gone through 15 different countries and servers,� said Jordan Thomas, now a partner at Labaton Sucharow. “Any time you put out false information

in the marketplace, you leave a trail that can be followed by law enforcement. This trail goes right through the SEC.�

The SEC declined to comment.

The agency requires companies to make various kinds of disclosures through regulatory filings so investors can review them. Takeovers, quarterly financial reports, and offers to sell stock to the public must be posted to the SEC’s filing service.

When making filings, companies must first submit papers with the agency with notarized signatures of executives to secure a code that allows them to make the filings electronically, said Heim, who is now at Meyers & Heim in New York.

But the vetting, he added, pretty much ends there.

A bid for Avon, which has had serious struggles recently, would not be surprising and it has happened in recent years, lending initial credence to the filing. The company has reported three straight years of losses and declining revenue. It has eliminated jobs and taken other actions to cut costs.

After shooting as high as $8 a share shortly after the filing was posted, Avon’s stock closed up 40 cents, or 6 percent, at $7.07.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss the popular Exploring Pickwick magazine, coming Saturday, May 30.

Boy’s questions about faith call for a careful response D E A R ABBY: I have a question about how to handle a situation with one of my grandAbigail sons. “Rory” to me Van Buren came recently to talk about Dear Abby religion. His mother is Christian; I am not. He asked what I thought about his mother forcing him to go to church. He has many doubts about Christianity.

I tried to understand Christianity for more than 50 years, and about 20 years ago I found peace with the faith I now practice. My daughter doesn’t want me to talk to her children about my path.

My question is, how do I address this issue with my grandson without confusing him even more? Any help would be appreciated because I don’t want to go against his mother’s wishes. -— FOUND MY PEACE DEAR FOUND YOUR PEACE: Answer your grandson’s question honestly. He asked you what you thought about his being forced to go to church. He did NOT ask you how you found your peace -- or if you

did. Sooner or later, he will find his own peace, and probably the same way you did — by searching for it. Do not push him -— or pull him -— in any direction and keep the peace with his mother.

DEAR ABBY: My sister and her husband are well-to-do, but cheap. They recently invited themselves to stay three nights in our snowbird condo on their way to a vacation in the Caribbean. My wife and I hosted them, and during their stay we went out twice for dinner. Both times my sister was quick to request separate bills. In the meantime, we had provided lodging and all their other meals for them.

I am offended that they didn’t show appreciation for our hospitality by at least taking us to dinner once. I have wanted to confront my sister about my feelings, but my wife has vehemently told me I shouldn’t. What would you suggest? —‚ UNEQUAL IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR UNEQUAL: I see two ways of dealing with this. Keep your mouth shut, avoid confrontation and the next time your sister tells you she’s coming for a visit, roll up the welcome mat saying you already have other plans. Or, tell your sister how you feel.

Personally, I think it would be healthier to express your feel-

ings, because your sister’s and her husband’s behavior was rude. It shows that because people have money doesn’t necessarily mean they have class.

DEAR ABBY: For many years I have been depressed about my father’s opinion of me. Dad died 30 years ago thinking I was a screwup who would never amount to anything, and at the time it was true.

Since his death I have turned my life around. I have been married for 38 years, raised a fine son and I am successful in my career. Still, I can’t get past his feeling of disappointment in me at the time of his death. It haunts me daily that I was a loser while he was alive. Any advice to stop feeling guilty? -— REGRETFUL SON DEAR SON: Not everyone matures at the same rate, and you may have been a late bloomer. Try telling yourself that you are sorry for whatever your sin of omission was, and then give yourself a dose of forgiveness.

If that doesn’t do the trick, then instead of torturing yourself, discuss this with a licensed mental health professional. Remember, no one can change the past. We can, however, change the present, and by doing so, positively affect our future.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The rewards that others, including society at large, set up to entice you may be quite appealing indeed, but not nearly as satisfying as the rewards you have the power to bestow upon yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Anger comes from being hurt or being afraid of getting hurt.

Knowing this doesn’t make an angry person any more tolerable, but it might inspire you to try different strategies for dealing effectively with him or her.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You want people to find a wonderful experience in each interaction with you. That’s why you make the extra effort. You keep finding new ways to add value to what you do just for the joy of it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You have come to expect that not everyone is going to be as sensitive to the feelings of others as you are. You’ll be around those who are so focused on getting a job done that they

have trouble taking feelings into account.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even though you exercise your free will and act as an individual, you sense a tangible connection that stretches far beyond you. You’ll get proof that you’re tied to something much bigger.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Focus on what’s right in your world. If your attention goes to the problems and problematic people, you’ll overlook the helpful people who will assist in your success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Because no two people are alike, the diet and self-care regimen that works for someone else isn’t necessarily for you. Experiment to find the best thing without pouring a lot of money into hyped-up products and systems.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It may feel like the bigger things in your life are not under your control today, and that’s why it’s important to you to assert yourself regarding the small things

you can control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). First you’ll be noticed for what you accomplish, and then you’ll be noted for what you say about it. All in good time. Right now is all about rolling up your sleeves and getting to work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). All great things take time to develop. Accept that you’re still unfinished and there’s no shame in that. It’s all coming together. There’s nothing to gain by wishing things were other than they are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). One of the best things you can be today is helpful. Help others to be great. Mostly it’s a lot of making people feel comfortable, accepted and free to contribute.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Reason and emotion are not opposites. Your intuition will lead the way whether you want it to or not. You get a feeling about something and then can’t help but find reasons that support it.

Peterson’s slam helps Braves win

BY STEVEN WINE Associated Press

MIAMI — Rookie Jace Peterson hit a grand slam for his first major league home run, and the Atlanta Braves overcame another tape-measure shot by Giancarlo Stanton to remain undefeated this year at Marlins Park by beating Miami 5-3 Saturday.

Major league RBIs leader Stanton hit his third long homer in as many games, a solo shot into the upper deck in center field, where a spectator made a one-handed catch five rows in front of the 502-foot sign.

Stanton homered into

the TV camera well in center field Friday, and pulled a drive out of Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. He has five of his team’s nine homers at Marlins Park this year, and 11 home runs overall.

Alex Wood (2-2) picked off two runners in seven innings and earned his first victory since he won at Miami in the second game of the season.

The Braves are 5-0 at Marlins Park and 12-19 everywhere else.

Jason Grilli gave up a run in the ninth but retired Stanton on a game-ending flyout with a runner on to earn his 11th save in 12 chances.

Atlanta’s Todd Cunningham went 3 for 4 for the second game in a row since being recalled from Triple-A. The Marlins’ Dee Gordon, who leads the majors in batting, went 1 for 5 with two RBIs, dropping his average to .425.

Mat Latos (1-4) allowed five runs before he left the game in the fourth inning with a bruised left shin after being hit in the leg by Cameron Maybin’s line drive. The Marlins said Latos’ status is day to day.

An inning later, Miami right-hander Tom Koehler was hit in the back of the low-

er left leg by Nick Markakis’ comebacker. Koehler stayed in the game.

Wood allowed two runs, one earned, and picked off Ichiro Suzuki at first base and Adeiny Hechavarria at second.

Even when Miami runners didn’t get picked off, they had trouble making it home. The Marlins went 2 for 8 with runners in scoring position and are 3 for 21 in the series in those situations.

Atlanta started the second inning with four consecutive hits, including an RBI single

by A.J. Pierzynski. With one out, Peterson pulled a pitch into the stands to make it 5-0.

Lack of outside shooting costs Grizzlies

BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — For the fifth straight year, the Memphis Grizzlies have come up short of the NBA championship they want so badly.

After losing to the Golden State Warriors, they head into another offseason looking for the same thing to help them go further — better outside shooting.

But first the Grizzlies have to convince All-Star center Marc Gasol that Memphis is where he should stay and off the free agent market. Gasol planned to consider his op-

tions this offseason, which arrived Friday night when the Warriors beat the Grizzlies in six games in the Western Conference semifinals.

“I haven’t even spent a second thinking of that,” said Gasol after a 108-95 loss to Golden State. “I’m drained right now.”

Gasol has become an integral part of Memphis’ most successful five years in franchise history, along with Zach Randolph, point guard Mike Conley and defensive whiz Tony Allen. Randolph is under contract for two more seasons, and he said Gasol is like

a brother.

“Like I told him: ‘I love you, man. You know where I want you at. And whatever makes you happy,’” Randolph said of Gasol’s pending decision.

Allen says Gasol knows this organization and all the Grizzlies. He sees the 7-foot-1 center from Spain as a big part of Memphis’ success.

“If I had to guess, I would say yes (Gasol stays),” Allen said. “But you know, it’s a business, and I understand everything about it, and you have to do what’s best for him and his family.”

Gasol certainly did his best

to keep Memphis alive for another game, scoring 21 points, grabbing 15 rebounds and blocking five shots. He also had four assists.

But for a third straight game, Golden State managed to flood the paint with an extra defender and harassed Memphis into another poor shooting performance inside.

The Grizzlies couldn’t back anyone out as MVP Stephen Curry wound up hitting more 3s (25) than the Grizzlies managed in the six-game series (24).

In 1st conference final, Hawks face LeBron

BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press

ATLANTA — From Cliff Levingston taking the final shot instead of Dominique Wilkins to the largest fourgame blowout in NBA history, the Atlanta Hawks have plenty of playoff lowlights.

Now, finally, there’s something to cheer about.

For the first time, the

Hawks are headed to the Eastern Conference finals, just one step away from playing for the first championship since the franchise moved from St. Louis to the Deep South in 1968.

“They deserve it,” said Wilkins, a Hall of Famer and probably the greatest player in team history. “They really just came together as one and

put a great run together.”

Wilkins was part of another memorable era in Atlanta history, the leader of a highflying team that, until now, came the closest to advancing past the second round.

The Hawks were up 3-2 on Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics in 1988 but squandered a chance to wrap up the conference semifinals in At-

lanta. Clinging to a two-point lead in Game 6, the Celtics double-teamed Wilkins on the final possession, forcing Levingston to put up an awkward left-handed shot with one second remaining.

He missed, of course, and the Celtics wrapped up the series in the deciding game, Please see HAWKS | 11A

American Pharoah romps in Preakness; Triple Crown try next

BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT Associated Press

BALTIMORE — American Pharoah has Bob Baffert back in the Triple Crown groove.

With thunder rumbling and rain pouring down, Kentucky Derby winner American Pharoah took the lead early and easily won the Preakness Stakes on Saturday.

The brilliant 3-year-old

colt was never seriously challenged after shaking off long-shot Mr. Z early to win by seven lengths and set up the ultimate drama in racing — a Triple Crown attempt at the Belmont Stakes in three weeks in New York.

“Great horses do great things,” Baffert said after his sixth Preakness victory, “and he showed that today.”

American Pharoah, who

started from the rail under Victor Espinoza, will be 14th Derby-Preakness winner to take a shot at becoming the first to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont since Affirmed in 1978.

For Baffert, he’ll be taking an unprecedented fourth shot at racing’s most coveted prize. The trainer won the Derby and Preakness with Silver Charm in 1997, Real Quiet

in 1998 and War Emblem in 2002. All three fell short in the Belmont.

A rainstorm began about 15 minutes before the race went off, preceded by several lightning bolts, but it didn’t seem to affect American Pharoah.

The colt, who has cotton placed in his ears to keep him calm, dealt with similar conditions in winning the Rebel Stakes in March.

American Pharoah

thrived in the sloppy conditions, and made it look like a breeze for Espinoza, the first jockey to have a third try at a Triple Crown.

Espinoza won the first two legs with War Emblem in 2002 and California Chrome last year, but fell short in the Belmont.

“I always told everybody American Pharoah would show up today,” owner Ahmed Zayat said, drenched after his trip to

the winner’s circle. “Indeed he did. He is the real deal.”

And going into the 11⁄2-mile Belmont with a six-race winning streak.

American Pharoah’s margin of victory in the 1 3-16th-mile Preakness was the largest since Smarty Jones won by a record 111⁄2 lengths in 2004.

Auto racing Sprint Cup Showdown

CONTINUED FROM 10A

an epic duel between Wilkins and Bird in which Boston held on for a 118-116 victory.

Atlanta has made it to the second round only eight times since then, three of those ending in sweeps. Most notably, the Hawks took an unprecedented thumping at the hands of the Orlando Magic in 2010, losing four straight games by an average of 25.25 points.

Booed off the court in the final two contests at home, the team fired coach Mike Woodson shortly afterward.

There will be nothing but adulation when the Hawks open the conference finals against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night, a sign of how much the city has adopted this team after years of apathy.

“It’s been incredible,” Wilkins, now a team executive and television commentator, said Saturday in a telephone interview. “We’re finally embracing our heritage, embracing a culture of basketball, and embracing the history of this team.”

That history includes a few highlights and plenty of bumps.

When the Hawks moved to Atlanta 47 years ago, they were one of the NBA’s top teams.

Playing at tiny Alexander Memorial Coliseum on the Georgia Tech campus, they continued their strong play by reaching the division final the first two years in their new home, only to get blown out both times by the Los Angeles Lakers. The city barely seemed to notice its newest big-league team, which averaged 4,474 fans during its debut season and just 5,210 the next even though the Hawks won the Western Division title.

Things changed after Wilkins, a star at the University of Georgia,

was acquired in 1982. By the late ‘80s, Wilkins was joined by Levingston, Kevin Willis, Antoine Carr, Doc Rivers and Spud Webb on one of the league’s up-and-coming teams. The Hawks sold out the Omni on a regular basis and won at least 50 games four years in a row (the only time that’s happened in franchise history), but they never figured out a way to get by those great Boston teams and other Eastern powerhouses.

“That was just a different era of basketball.

Everybody was so good, particularly in the East,” Wilkins remembered.

“Boston had five Hall of Famers. There was also Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, just so many good teams.”

These Hawks are a definite underdog in the conference finals, despite a 60-22 mark during the regular season, winning three out of four against the Cavaliers and having home-court advantage.

They don’t mind a bit.

“We have a whole team that’s been underdogs for the majority of their lives,” guard Kyle Korver said. “So it’s probably a more familiar role for us.”

Wilkins likes Atlanta’s chances.

“They played ‘em well during the regular season,” he said. “A lot of times, that doesn’t mean anything because the playoffs are a different type of basketball. But it gives them confidence going into the series.

Getting to the Eastern Conference finals, we believe we can win. We know we can win.”

Wilkins doesn’t want to look too far ahead, but he can’t help envisioning what it would be like if the Hawks advance to the NBA Finals.

“Oh man, this town would be out of control,” he said, his voice rising.

“And we’d be right in the middle of it.”

GRIZZLIES CONTINUED FROM 10A

“Basically they just jammed it up and dared us to shoot it from the perimeter,” coach Dave Joerger said. “Not just one guy, but they dared all of our guys.”

That left Memphis losing in the conference semifinal for second time since 2011, a painful loss for a franchise that won at least 50 games for a third straight season.

“First round, second round, the finals, whatever,” Randolph said. “If you don’t win that ring, it’s always a disappointment.”

Both Randolph and Conley said the Grizzlies just need to add a few more pieces to help spread the floor a bit.

The Grizzlies ranked second in the percentage of points from 2-point range but only 29th in that category outside the arc. Conley said they have to play through their strengths in their big men.

“We can’t change that,” Conley said. “We just have to work with what we have. We’ve done a phenomenal job with it, but I think us going into next season, we have to find ways to free up guys on the outside, get guys that can get easy looks, try to open up and knock them down and get more opportunities for our big guys.”

The Grizzlies lost even with Conley returning only eight days after surgery to repair broken bones in his face.

The guard played the final four games against Golden State wearing a protective mask. Allen aggravated his left hamstring in Game 3.

Joerger made a point of thanking controlling owner Robert Pera for the resources provided both to players and coaches.

“All he wants us to do is keep getting better,” Joerger said. “That’s what we’re going to try to do.”

Tuesday, was employee gift day with each staff member receiving a special surprise.

An Employee Health Fair was held on Wednesday to draw blood, check vitals, cholesterol and hemoglobin a 1c.

“We had a special lunch on Thursday,” said Mills.

“The hospital leaders grilled hamburgers and hot-dogs for us to show their appreciation.”

A memorial table was set up honoring the nurses who are no longer with us,” she added.

The table served as a poignant reminder that while loved ones move on, their memories are always present in the hearts of those who stay behind.

Hospital Week wrapped with a 50-year Anniversary Bash, complete with ice-cream and cake as MRHC marked 50 years of patient care.

As they reflected on hospital week, the nurses at MRHC paused to consider their positions times of service.

“I love being a MICU nurse at MRHC because of the versatility of my career. I teach, encourage, empathize, and comfort others all within a single twelve hour shift,” said Kathleen Childress, R.N. “Every patient I care for impacts me in a way to help me grow as a nurse and as a better individual.

Being a nurse allows me to have a positive influence on this world and that is why I love it.”

Echoing her sentiments, Allen Reeves, R.N. said he loves working in the Information Technology Department because of the innovation involved in his job.

“I get to help improve work-flow processes for multiple areas of nursing. My role allows me to help the hospital follow best practice standards and ensure our patients receive the best possible care,” said Reeves. “Even though I am not physically at the bedside taking care of patients, I hope my role as a Registered Nurse in IT allows bedside nursing to spend more time taking care of patient’s instead of documenting at a computer.”

R.N., Tyler Patterson appreciates the opportunity to get paid as a Pediatric nurse for being a big kid himself.

“If we have free time, part of our daily duties include: bringing patients ice cream and Popsicles, coloring in a coloring book, and playing the movie ‘Frozen’ all day long. It can be scary at times because children can’t always tell you what is wrong with them, but nothing is more rewarding than coming into work and seeing a child smiling laughing and telling you stories who was previously lethargic and too tired to stay awake.”

“We have an amazing team of nurses and Pediatricians. I enjoy the people I work with,” he continued. “Though no one wants their child to be in the hospital or get an IV, I know that while they’re on our floor, we’ll all take great care of them.”

WASHINGTON — Thirty-eight Cuban migrants caught trying to sail to the U.S. are stranded aboard a U.S. Coast Guard vessel, waiting for permission from the Cuban government to return home, The Associated Press has learned.

The would-be immigrants had tourist visas to the Caribbean island nation of Saint Lucia when they were intercepted at sea by the Coast Guard, U.S. officials said. The Cuban government has refused re-entry to island because their return does not comport with a repatriation agreement with the U.S., one official said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the situation.

The migrants were among about 96 Cubans who were intercepted at sea and taken aboard the Coast Guard cutter Vigilant, a 210-foot ship operating out of Port Canaveral, Florida. The ship typically carries 75 officers and crew. The Cuban government allowed the return of the other 58 people.

The Cuban government has made no public comment about the case.

Under U.S. law, Cuban nationals who make it onto U.S. soil are granted permission to come into the country and can quickly become legal permanent residents and eventually U.S. citizens.

Migrants caught at sea generally are sent back to Cuba. The Cuban government has historically allowed U.S. authorities to quickly repatriate those migrants caught at sea.

Last day: Ending is just beginning

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Lizzie and the Last Day of School” by Trinka Hakes Noble, illustrated by Kris Aro McLeod c.2015, Sleeping Bear Press $15.99 / $16.99 Canada 32 pages Watching your favorite TV show.

A mid-afternoon snack.

Visiting with Grandpa.

Taking a ride on your bike and playing with friends.

Those are fun things to do and you really hate to quit doing them. But as Grandma says, all good things must come to an end.

Or do they? In the new book “Lizzie and the Last Day of School” by Trinka Hakes Noble, illustrated by Kris Aro McLeod, an ending is just a beginning.

On the first day of nursery school, Lizzie decided that she loved school. She just loved everything about it. Kindergarten was even better but when it was over, Lizzie was sad. She missed kindergarten so much that she made her little sister, Lulu, play “school” all summer long.

But then summer ended and Lizzie became “a big first grader!”

She got a new pencil case, a new backpack, and even new crayons to take to her new class.

She also got a new teacher, who told all the children to call her Miss G. Best of all, Miss G said it was going to be “the best year of school ever.” Lizzie was excited: an entire year of school!

That fall, the school librarian had a reading contest and Lizzie’s class won!

That was really fun.

When winter arrived, the school gym teacher taught Lizzie’s class how to dance.

Miss G learned to dance, too, and Lizzie couldn’t wait to show Lulu.

When spring arrived, Lizzie’s class planted a garden and learned to grow flowers and plants for the butterflies and bees. Miss G was so proud the class won an award that she made them paper wings to wear.

But one day, everything ended. No more books from the library, no more dancing in the gym, and no more garden. It was the last of the school year, and that made Lizzie very unhappy. Lizzie, in fact, “just frowned” and on the final day, she was so upset that she forgot to hug Miss G goodbye. But then, she started to think maybe someone was mistaken.

Maybe there was school after all, so Lizzie snuck back to her classroom and there, she got a big surprise.

Some kids can’t wait for school to end and summer to begin. They practically live for a long vacation but if that scenario causes tears in your house, then “Lizzie and the Last Day of School” is a book to find, post-haste.

Author Trinka Hakes Noble gives Lizzie an appealing enthusiasm for scholarly pursuits which is, I think, a two-fold bonus: because she’s realistic, it’s easy for kids who enjoy school to identify with that main character.

Conversely, thanks to illustrations by Kris Aro McLeod, children who profess to “hate” school can easily see what’s fun about it. Parents surely could appreciate that, either way.

While it might be enjoyed by a pre-schooler, this book is intended more for 5-to-7-year-olds, especially those who love to learn. And if that describes your child, find “Lizzie and the Last Day of School”… and begin.

Post-Oscar, Mo’Nique practices balancing act

BY SANDY COHEN Associated Press Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — “Don’t call it a comeback.”

Mo’Nique laughs as she quotes LL Cool J. Though it seems she’s back in the spotlight for the first time since her performance in “Precious” swept the 2010 awards season, the Oscar winner says she never stopped working. She just does it at a pace that allows for some balance.

“You know what I’m working on? The biggest project of my life,” the 47-year-entertainer said during a recent telephone interview. “Being the best mommy and the best wife I can possibly be. Because if I get concerned with what’s next in reference to this business, I’ll miss out on the joy that’s in front of me right now.”

That hasn’t stopped her from performing standup across the country, hosting her talk show on BET, independently producing films with her businesspartner husband, and costarring in HBO’s Bessie Smith biopic, “Bessie,”

premiering Saturday.

It was “Bessie” star and executive producer Queen Latifah who thought of Mo’Nique for the role as Smith’s mentor, Ma Rainey.

“Everybody was like, ‘Yes!’ Because she has strength and vulnerability,” said fellow executive producer Shelby Stone.

“The moment it was said, it was perfect. She was perfect. She has all those kinds of qualities of this strong, interesting, complicated woman who was Ma Rainey.”

Though Mo’Nique hadn’t heard of Rainey before reading the “Bessie” script, the role reflects the kinds of characters and stories she’s drawn to these days: real, multidimensional people.

Mo’Nique recently starred in and executive produced two films that fit that bill, “Blackbird” and “About.”

No release date has been set for “About,” which tells the stories of seven strangers whose lives intertwine as they’re faced with such life challenges as home-

Cryptoquip

lessness, heartbreak and addiction.

“Blackbird,” which opened last month, follows a church-choir singer who struggles with his sexuality and sense of self while growing up in a small Southern Baptist town. Mo’Nique plays the young man’s mother. Isaiah Washington plays his father.

She was drawn to the story by its young writerdirector Patrik-Ian Polk.

“I never thought I would have another opportunity to work with a director who was so fearless and so unwilling to waver with what he wanted to see on that screen,” she said. “I never thought I would have that opportunity again after working with Lee Daniels on ‘Precious.’”

Speaking of Daniels, Mo’Nique said she has “no issue” with the director, who made waves earlier this year when he said the actress “soured her relationship with the Hollywood community” by not participating more actively in the “Precious” awards campaign.

in 2015.

She is presently employed at Factory Connection.

The prospective groom is a 2004 graduate of Corinth High School and a 2013 graduate of Northeast Mississippi Community College where he earned a degree in HVAC. He is presently employed at Refreshments Inc. All friends and relatives of the couple are invited to attend the ceremony and the reception which follows.

They will reside in Corinth.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Newly inaugurated Navajo President Russell Begaye stood before hundreds of people at his inauguration ceremony and signed a document stating he would pursue development of an aerial tram at the Grand Canyon.

A day later, on Wednesday, Begaye issued a statement saying he’s opposed to the project and always has been.

His spokesman Eric Descheenie said Begaye was blindsided by the agreement and didn’t actually read what he signed.

Begaye’s predecessor, Ben Shelly, presented the agreement to Begaye on stage and said the signatures by the two leaders would showcase a continuity of leadership and commitment to the prosperity of the Navajo people.

Here’s a look at some questions surrounding the project and the political landscape.

What is the Grand Canyon escalade?

The Grand Canyon Escalade is a proposed aerial tram at the east rim of the canyon outside the boundaries of the national park.

Tourists would be shuttled from the cliff tops of the Navajo Na-

Crossword

tion to the edge of the Colorado River below before it meets the Little Colorado River.

The area known as the confluence is roughly a 100-mile drive from Flagstaff and has no paved roads, running water or electricity.

Plans call for infrastructure development, a riverside boardwalk, hotels, cultural center and places for Navajo artisans to sell their goods.

How do visitors currently reach the bottom of the canyon?

Visitors to Grand Canyon National Park can hike or ride a mule to the bottom, and rafters can reach it by way of the Colorado River.

Tourists can pay for helicopter rides into the canyon on the Hualapai and Havasupai reservations.

A road that leads to the Colorado River on the Hualapai reservation also offers rafters a chance to get on or off the river for a fee.

What’s in it for the Navajo Nation?

That is up for debate.

Some Navajos say the development would mar the landscape of sagebrush, rolling hills, arroyos and canyons that tribal members consider sacred ground.
