“I would like to congratulate each of the 2014 graduates for this accomplishment. I encourage them to remain steadfast in reaching the goals each has established,” said Corinth School District Superintendent Dr. Lee Childress. “The future is bright for each one and I look forward to seeing their continued success.”

The following high schools in Alcorn County will be holding graduation ceremonies this month: ■ Corinth High School will graduate approximately 130 high school seniors during their commencement ceremony on May 23 at 7 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena.

Trolley owners aim to benefit community

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

There’s nothing more relaxing than a trolley ride through a historic little town.

Heather Moore and Melissa King hope their passengers will agree after taking a ride on

Corinth’s newest rolling attraction, the Crossroads Trolley.

“People keep asking me, why a trolley,” said Moore, who co-owns the trolley with King.

“Corinth is such an intimate and classic kind of place and I think a little trolley running

around town gives it even more of that vintage feel.”

D-Day pilot plans return to Normandy

An American cemetery sits in Colleville-Sur-Mer, overlooking the now quiet stretch of Omaha Beach where many paid the ultimate price for freedom. Its soil cradles the remains of 9,387 American soldiers and 307 unknown souls.

It has been 70 years since Johnny Bell has seen Normandy, France or forced himself to examine in detail the events of June 6, 1944, which still today haunt his dreams.

At the end of the month, the 92-year-old will make his final trip to Normandy,

something I need to do ... to remind me of what it takes to preserve the country we live in.”

Bell, who is one of the few remaining members of the 8th Air Force and the lone survivor of his crew, described the view from his four-engine B-17 bomber during the Normandy invasion.

“We were bombing inland behind the beaches in France.

I didn’t have time to do much observing, but it looked like chaos and I’m sure it was very disorganized,” said the Corinth resident as he conjured up the painful memories of D-Day. “There were ships everywhere from horizon to horizon. Afterward, it looked like a tornado had hit.”

“We were shot down in Normandy well after D-Day,” he added. “The airplane crashed and we were forced to parachute out.”

Emotions ran high as he recalled the faces of his lost crew members, men who perished far too young.

“There were only ten in a flight crew. So, we spent a lot of time together. We fought together, ate together and took leave together. We were more than friends, we were a family,” said Bell as he shed fresh tears for his lost comrades.

Bell was barely of age at the time he joined the military.

“I had always wanted to fly, so I enlisted at the Columbus Air Force Base right after Pearl Harbor,” said the Airman who got his pilot’s license in 1943 while training in Maxwell Field, Ala. “It was the happiest moment in my life next to my wedding day and the birth of my first child.”

He added that piloting alone and slicing through the clouds his first time out was

“I know going there will bring it all back, but it’s something I need to do ... to remind me of what it takes to preserve the country we live in.”

Johnny Bell World War II Veteran the greatest feeling in the world.

The World War II vet said he finds the country to be very different than the one he fought for over half a decade ago.

“I think about what America was like in those days with everyone fully involved in the war effort and 100 percent of the country’s population totally dedicated. It’s so different now. Back then we knew who our enemy was. We were fighting because our lives had been attacked. There was one goal and one goal only – to destroy German industry,” said Bell who can’t understand how anyone could become a home-grown terrorist, in the country he calls the greatest God ever created.

Apart from his military career, the Columbus native also founded the WCMA radio station in Corinth where he served as the host for 43 or 44 years of his life.

“I always thought I was too busy for hobbies, but I do love to read,” said Bell who studied briefly at Mississippi State University.

In his spare time, the father of four enjoys reading everything, but especially fiction.

His son Eddie Bell is the owner and operator of Lee Highway Florist.

Body of missing boater recovered

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

BELMONT — The search for a missing boater on Bay Springs Lake in Tishomingo County ended Thursday when the body of Cary Wayne Smith, 25, of Belmont was discovered.

Tishomingo Coroner Mack Wilemon said Smith’s drowned body was found by a riverboat pilot on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway near Bay Springs Lake.

The body was recovered by the Corps of Engineers.

Smith disappeared more than one week ago near the McDougal Branch boat ramp.

He was on board a boat with three friends when he went overboard.

No foul play is suspected and the sheriff’s department is ruling the drowning an accident.

that would benefit the community.

“We searched for quite awhile,” said Moore. “We finally found the trolley in Jonestown, N.Y., purchased it and had it shipped to Corinth.”

The bright white trolley with vintage wooden seats for up 25 passengers was seen hauling folks around downtown Corinth in a test run during the recent Coke 10k/Green Market weekend.

“I was probably born in the wrong era,” added Moore. “I have way too fun cruising up and down the streets blaring a little Billie Holiday music in the trolley.”

Moore said the trolley is perfect for weddings, conventions, sightseeing tours, parades, church and event shuttles, birthday parties and progressive dinners. There are many packages to choose from or trolley staff can create a personalized package.

Moore consulted with Corinth Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau director Christy Burns before making the purchase.

“We talked about offering special Corinth-themed tours featuring local history stops, Civil War sites and more,” said Burns. “I love the trolley. I think it’s a great asset to downtown.”

Burns said the tourism office plans to use the trolley for some

upcoming festivals and events to help visitors get around town.

“I could see the trolley even being used to transport people during events from the park or arena to downtown,” added Burns.

Moore said with support from local businesses there may be normal trolley stops added around town in the future.

“We are still in the beginning phases of figuring out this business,” said Moore. “I want to tailor the trolley to the needs of the community.”

Prentiss board to seek bids on complex BOONEVILLE — Plans for a new county court/office complex will soon be in the hands of potential bidders.

The Prentiss County Board of Supervisors voted Monday to allow the county’s engineering firm, Cook-Coggin Engineers, to begin advertising for bids for the renovation of the former Blue Bell/Booneville Sportsplex building as soon as final details are complete on the plans.

The project, which has been in the planning stages for more than two years, will renovate the building near Bridge Street in downtown Booneville to house a new courtroom and related offices to be shared by

chancery and youth court.

The complex will also include space to house the Mississippi Department of Human Services office under a lease agreement between the state and the county.

The Prentiss County Coroner’s office will also be housed in the facility. Space will also be available for expansion to potentially house other county offices in the future.

The project will be funded initially through a loan backed by the USDA Rural Development Agency. After the project is complete bonds will be issued to repay the loan. The costs of repaying the bonds was included in the current fiscal year budget and did not require a tax increase.

Supervisors have said the project is needed to alleviate space and scheduling issues for the courts. Currently chancery court, circuit court and youth court all must share the main courtroom at the county courthouse.

Letter to the editor

Toyota official brings valuable message Next Wednesday, May 21st at 5:30 p.m., Mr. Sean Suggs, Toyota Mississippi VP of Administration, will be speaking at the Corinth High School Auditorium.

What an exciting opportunity we will have to hear Mr. Suggs address the impact Toyota Mississippi is having and will have on our area. If you have an interest in getting a job at this plant or doing business with Toyota Mississippi, then you need to be present. At the time Toyota chose Blue Springs, the project was one of, if not, the most sought after economic development project in the entire country. The positive impact for our state and community is still emerging. This meeting, sponsored by the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County, is open to everyone.

Of course admission is free, but what you hear will be valuable. Please attend and bring someone with you.

Free speech not so free Once, Social Security was the “third rail” of politics. Touch it and face political death.

Now it is homosexuality. Criticize anything gay people do and you risk ostracism, fines, suspension or loss of your livelihood.

Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be drafted by a National Football League team — the St. Louis Rams picked him 249th in the last round — is being treated by the media and those in the gay rights movement as the equivalent of an early American pioneer.

Cal Miami Dolphins safety Don Thomas Jones, apparently, didn’t get the memo. Jones tweeted Columnist “OMG” and “horrible” after he saw Sam and his boyfriend kiss each other live on ESPN. His tweet was quickly taken down, but the political correctness police swooped in anyway. Jones has been fined and suspended. He’s also being forced to attend “educational training” to get his “mind right,” to borrow a phrase from the film “Cool Hand Luke.” This sounds like the old communist “reeducation” camps. Dolphins Coach Joe Philbin called Jones’ comment “inappropriate and unacceptable.” Jones issued a statement that read like it had been written by a lawyer, apologizing for his “inappropriate” tweet and taking “full responsibility” for his comment.

How quickly things have changed from the recent experiences of Tim Tebow. When the quarterback heroically led the Denver Broncos to a playoff victory in 2012 and dropped to one knee, as he often did to express gratitude to God (a move that quickly became known as “Tebowing,” which spawned countless YouTube parodies), he was ridiculed by many of the same entities that now defend Michael Sam. During Tebow’s brief professional career, TV ratings spiked, jerseys and other gear with Tebow’s name on it sold well.

Yet, Tebow endured a sometimes silent and often shouted campaign to brand him in a negative way. He was called “polarizing.” It was said he had “baggage,” though his “bags” were considerably lighter than many other professional athletes who have had drug and alcohol problems, incidents with guns at strip clubs and numerous out-of-wedlock children.

The Nation’s Dave Zirin revealed the secular left’s real problem with Tebow when he wrote, “(Tebow) is a religious figure in a country that is uncomfortable talking (about) religion.” Really? I would venture to guess there are probably more people attending church on Sunday mornings than attend NFL football games on Sunday afternoon. Such is the bias of those who hold disdain for people of strong faith because it apparently exposes flaws in themselves they prefer not to see.

After the Broncos cut Tebow, haters took to the comment page of The Huffington Post.

NFL players who joined in the mockery were not fined, disciplined or forced into education training camp. Such is the cultural double standard between the way Michael Sam is being treated and the experience of Tim Tebow.

But what should one expect these days when anything goes, except for free speech critical of the LGBT crowd?

Prayer for today Almighty God, help me to aspire, that my life may tend toward the ideal. May I be persuaded that I cannot be that which I do not possess, nor can I live in that which I do not know. Help me to put the best in what I do, that I may not feel I have failed, even though it may not seem to be a success. Amen.

A verse to share “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” — Proverbs 1:10

Medicaid expansion remains a political non-starter STARKVILLE — Whether it’s the heated race between Mississippi’s incumbent Republican senior U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran and state Sen. Chris McDaniel in their GOP primary or the rather rematch between incumbent Republican 4th District U.S. Rep. Steven Palazzo and the veteran former Democratic U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor that Palazzo defeated to take the office, Medicaid expansion under Obamacare remains a political non-starter in Mississippi.

Despite recent Associated Press coverage of the fact that Medicaid rolls in are growing in states like Mississippi that rejected Medicaid expansion, it’s clear based on the campaign rhetoric in both the Cochran-McDaniel race and in the Palazzo-Taylor race that the candidates don’t believe voters will embrace Medicaid expansion despite the claims of advocates that rejecting Medicaid expansion is against the state’s economic interests.

The candidates have struggled to get to the right of each other on the question of opposition to Obamacare.

While in Congress, Taylor in 2010 voted against

it and was literally the first Democrat to sign Discharge Petition #11, which sought Sid Salter to force a vote Columnist on repealing the law.

Palazzo’s opposition to Obamacare was the centerpiece of his campaign to unseat Taylor and has never wavered.

Palazzo gained success in his challenge to Taylor by tying him to a vote for former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The political bogeyman of Obamacare has dominated the Senate race as well, but McDaniel has played the red herring that refusing to vote to shut down the government was the same as “supporting” Obamacare.

It’s not.

Proponents of expansion point to the fact that the federal government has pledged to pay all medical costs for the newly eligible Medicaid enrollees in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and no less than 90 percent of their costs thereafter as evidence that Mississippi can’t afford not to expand Medicaid.

But many Mississippi lawmakers understand all

too well the history of Medicaid finance in this state.

The state has traditionally authorized a more expansive Medicaid program than the state actually funded and then in the latter stages of each legislative session scrambled to actually fund Medicaid with one-time money plans held together with political bubble gum and bailing wire.

So politics aside, is Medicaid expansion as clear cut as proponents would have us believe? In a word, no.

“From a social or humanitarian perspective, you could argue Medicaid expansion is a winner.

But from a purely financial perspective, it’s clearly a loser,” Charles Blahous, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center, a marketoriented research center at George Mason University in Virginia, said last year.

A Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning economic brief by state economist Bob Neal made the nuts-and-bolts of the Medicaid expansion question clear when Mississippi lawmakers first confronted the expansion question: “The results in each scenario indicate that Medicaid expansion will generate additional state Medicaid

costs in years 2017-2025.

From 2014-2020, cumulative state costs of Medicaid expansion, minus additions to state General Fund revenue, are projected to range from $109 million to $98 million. From 2014-2025, total state costs of Medicaid expansion, minus additions to state General Fund revenue, are projected to range from $556 million to $497 million.”

The Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured observed: “While some states will see net savings, others will need to weigh the trade-offs between small increases in state spending in return for large gains in coverage supported by mostly federal dollars.”

As the recession fades and the Affordable Care Act generates more of a track record in fact rather than in theory, Democrats in the Legislature will continue to push Medicaid expansion.

But a listen to the campaign rhetoric makes clear that Medicaid expansion and Obamacare remain potent flashpoints on the state’s campaign trail.

The issue that will be on the June ballot is whether voter approval shall be required to change the height restrictions on buildings along the San Francisco waterfront. Like so many other political issues, this one is being debated in runaway rhetoric bearing no resemblance to reality.

Former San Francisco City Attorney Louise Renne, for example, says that “the people” own the waterfront and therefore should be “consulted.” Really? Can one of “the people,” who supposedly own the waterfront, decide that he wants to sell his share of it and pocket the money?

As for being “consulted,” how many of “the people” -- who have lives to lead, careers to pursue and families to take care of -- are going to study the economic and other complexities created by height restrictions?

What we are really talking about are little coteries of self-righteous busybodies, who have been elected by nobody, wrapping themselves in the mantle of “the people,” in order to oppose elected officials, who have been elected precisely in order to give such issues the

professional attention they deserve, in a system of representative government.

Thomas Height reSowell s t r i c t i o n s have serious Columnist e c o n o m i c implications that are not immediately obvious to those who do not look beyond rhetoric about “saving” this or “preserving” that.

In a place with very high land prices, such as San Francisco, the difference between building a ten-story apartment building and being restricted to building a five-story apartment building can be a big difference in what rent will have to be charged, when there are only half as many renters to cover the costs of the land.

When a city cannot expand upward, its growing population must expand outward. That means far more commuter traffic, from ever greater distances, to get to work in the city.

Anyone who has seen the huge amount of traffic clogging the bridges into San Francisco, as early as 6 o’clock in the morning, will understand that such repercussions exact a price that goes beyond money to time

lost in traffic and lives lost in traffic.

None of these hidden costs of height restrictions is likely to be noticed, much less weighed, by those who speak or hear self-indulgent rhetoric about how the waterfront is a “treasure” that needs “careful and attentive stewardship” by the voters, as a San Francisco Examiner editorial put it.

And just how many of those voters -- “the people” with jobs, homes and families to look after -- are going to have time to carry out this “careful and attentive stewardship”?

Does anyone seriously believe that most people have time to be poring over maps, reports and statistics about the San Francisco waterfront?

Is not the whole point of representative government that you cannot run a city, much less a state or a nation, as if you were having “town meeting democracy” in some little New England village, where virtually everybody knows everything that is important to that village?

Nothing is easier than to rhapsodize about the waterfront as “a public resource beyond compare.” But, however impressive the San Francisco waterfront may be, no resource is “beyond compare.”

Comparing -- weighing one thing against another -- is what rational decision-making is all about.

Exempting what some segment of the population wants from the process of weighing alternatives is what rhetoric-driven political stampedes are all about.

Ms. Renne’s assertion that those who own the waterfront should be the ones to make decisions about it is an argument for a policy the opposite of what she advocates.

Constitutionally protected property rights, which have been seriously eroded by judicial “interpretation,” were meant to keep many decisions out of the political arena.

It is not that individual waterfront property owners will get together to make such decisions. Instead, market processes can make property owners “an offer they can’t refuse,” based on how much other people want their property, in order to build whatever there is a real demand for by others. And we will be spared rhetorical flourishes.

Obama moves to address VA issue WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Obama administration and Congress are moving quickly to respond to a growing political firestorm over reports of treatment delays and falsified records at veterans hospitals nationwide.

The top official for veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health care resigned Friday, and House Republicans scheduled a vote next week on legislation to give Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki greater authority to dismiss or demote senior executives and administrators at the agency and its 152 medical centers.

Reports of long waits for appointments and processing benefit applications have plagued VA for years.

Officials have shortened benefits backlogs, but allegations of preventable deaths that may be linked to delays at the Phoenix VA hospital have triggered an election-year uproar. A former clinic director said up to 40 veterans died while awaiting treatment at the Phoenix hospital.

Brooks grateful to Brown v. Board WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As a Head Start and Yale Law School graduate, Cornell William Brooks calls himself a direct beneficiary of Brown v.

Board Education.

Now the lawyer and activist is taking over as the next national president and CEO of the NAACP, whose legal arm brought that landmark legal case challenging segregation in public schools.

On the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision that said separating black and white children was unconstitutional, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest civil rights organization announced Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; selection.

The NAACPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board made the final decision Friday night, and chair Roslyn Brock told The Associated Press about Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new position on Saturday morning.

Brooks will be formally presented to the Baltimore-based organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members at its national convention in Las Vegas in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a beneficiary,

an heir and a grandson, if you will, of Brown versus Board of Education,â&#x20AC;? Brooks told the AP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My life is the direct product, if you will, of the legacy of the blood, sweat and tears of the NAACP and so today Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m particularly mindful that the NAACP has made America what it is, and certainly made my life possible and we are all grateful heirs of that legacy.â&#x20AC;?

GOP blocks military immigration vote WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; House Republican leaders intervened Friday to prevent a vote on immigration legislation, dealing a severe blow to election-year efforts to overhaul the dysfunctional system.

The move came after a Republican congressman from California announced plans to try to force a vote next week, over strong conservative opposition, on his measure creating a path to citizenship for immigrants who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children and serve in the military.

Rep. Jeff Denham labeled his bill the ENLIST Act and said he would seek a vote as an amendment to the popular annual defense bill, the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA. In response, Doug Heye, spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No proposed ENLIST amendments to NDAA will be made in order.â&#x20AC;?

Heye said no standalone vote on the measure would be permitted, either.

Saturday. Investigators, meanwhile, continued to seek the causes of the conflagrations that burned at least eight homes and an 18-unit condominium complex, emptied neighborhoods and spread fields of flame, smoke and ash that dirtied the air in neighboring Orange County and as far north as Los Angeles County.

Alberto Serrato, 57, pleaded not guilty Friday to an arson charge in connection with one of the smaller fires, a 105acre fire in suburban Oceanside that started Wednesday and is fully contained.

Tanya Sierra, a spokeswoman for the San Diego County district attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, said witnesses saw Serrato adding dead brush onto smoldering bushes, which flamed up. He has not been connected to any other fire, Sierra said.

Suspected bobcat returned after tests STAFFORD, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rockyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was 98 percent bobcat.

But because a DNA test couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determine the 38-pound felineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineage, a judge ruled Friday that the runaway cat be returned to a New Jersey woman.

Municipal Court Judge Damian Murray ruled that Ginny Fine can regain custody of Rocky after a mitochondrial DNA test found that the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was 98 percent bobcat, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t determine its fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineage, the Asbury Park Press reported. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is, Rocky goes home,â&#x20AC;? Murray said.

Fine, who has maintained that Rocky is a hybrid bobcat and Maine coon, said she was shocked by the ruling.

She would have needed a special permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection to get Rocky back if it was determined to be a purebred bobcat.

Inmate wants review of parole denial JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Milton Trotter is arguing to the Mississippi Court of Appeals that he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in a state prison.

In a case that has made the rounds of the federal courts, Trotter is asking the state court to order his release.

The case is among dozens the Appeals Court will consider during its May-June term.

Trotter argues he entered into an agreement in 1981 to plead guilty to a state murder charge and a federal kidnapping charge with the understanding he would be freed by Mississippi parole officials once he was released from federal prison.

Trotter says the state didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t parole him, and he argues his murder conviction should be tossed out because the state violated the plea agreement.

Airport gets $4.6 million from FAA JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Federal Aviation Administration is giving the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport $4.6 million to rehabilitate runway touchdown zones at the airport.

The discretionary grant was announced Friday.

The new money comes a week after the FAA announced $4.8 million in grants to 14 Mississippi airports to improve safety and operations.

Airports at Bay St. Louis, Belzoni, Belmont, Clarksdale, Columbia, Columbus, Corinth, the Golden Triangle, Grenada, Houston, Lexington, Madison, Okolona and Starkville received those Airport Improvement Program grants.

Grad student gets $175,000 fellowship OXFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A University of Mississippi graduate student Jessica Fancher Peralta is the first Mississippian to receive a Knowles Science

Teaching Foundation Fellowship worth $175,000.

A University news release said the five-year program will offer financial support to assist Peralta with a variety of grants for classroom materials, professional development, networking opportunities, travel to national conferences and more.

The Moorville native is to start her first year of teaching this fall.

Knowles Science Teaching Foundation was founded in 2002. Its teaching fellowships are designed to attract and retain high school teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Oxford officials view columbarium plans OXFORD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plans have been unveiled for a columbarium to be built on the grounds of the historic, city-owned Oxford Memorial Cemetery.

Architect Michael Jones with SOZO Architecture of Oxford said the columbarium will have 813 niches for cremation urns. It will be about 9 feet high, covering a 45-by-55-foot area.

The Oxford Eagle reports that funds from selling the niches will help pay for maintenance at the cemetery, which was given to the city of Oxford by St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church. The older part of the cemetery is still known as St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery; however, the entire cemetery is named Oxford Memorial Cemetery.

Millsaps connecting with groups in Africa JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Millsaps College leaders are traveling to Africa to connect with academic and cultural groups, including a charity started by a recent graduate.

President Robert W. Pearigen and academic dean Keith Dunn left Saturday for 12 days in Tanzania and Rwanda.

Millsaps says they will tour Songea-Mississippi, a private group that pro-

motes cultural exchanges between the southern regions of the U.S. and Tanzania. Millsaps anthropology and sociology Professor Julian Murchison co-directs the group, along with Tanzanian colleague Damas D. Ndumbaro.

In Rwanda, Pearigen and Dunn will participate in a ceremony honoring Isaro Foundation, a nonprofit group that works to improve childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s literacy. Jean Leon Iragena, a 2014 Millsaps graduate from Rwanda, established the foundation in October 2011 with help from Millsaps students and faculty.

State fines former adviser, brokerage JACKSON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A stock brokerage and former investment adviser have been fined by the Mississippi secretary of state for advising a now-dead Greenville woman to buy into a risky and unprofitable company.

In a March order announced Friday, Texasbased brokerage Sanders Morris Harris agreed to a $25,000 fine, plus $10,000 to cover investigative costs. Sanders Morris Harris, a unit of Edelman Financial Group, also paid $75,000 to Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estate in February.

Former adviser Ralph Lord of Flowood was fined $10,000 and agreed to training if he resumes investment advice, as well as a year of heightened supervision by any brokerage that might hire him. Lord also agreed not to sell certain types of securities for at least two years.

The state says that in 2003 and 2004, Lord wrongly sold 90-yearold Margaret Watson $230,000 in debt in Remote Knowledge LLC. Watson later converted the debt into preferred stock on Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice.

By December 2009, the shares were worthless, and heirs later filed a complaint with securities regulators in the office of Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.

Man accused of exploiting Cochran’s wife

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Authorities say a conservative Mississippi blogger went into a nursing home, photographed the bedridden wife of Republican U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran without permission and posted an image online as part of an anti-Cochran video.

Rose Cochran, 72, has lived at St. Catherine’s Village since 2000 and has dementia.

Clayton Thomas Kelly, 28, of Pearl, was arrested Friday and charged with a felony, exploitation of a vulnerable adult, Madison police said. Kelly remained in the Madison County Detention Center on Saturday on $100,000 bond. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he has an attorney.

Police Sgt. Robert Sanders wouldn’t identify Rose Cochran as the person who was photographed.

Cochran attorney Don Clark said an unauthorized photo of Rose Cochran was taken in her nursing home room, near her bedside, and it was posted briefly online as part of a video.

A source close to the Cochran campaign characterized the video as a political attack on Cochran.

Cochran’s June 3 Republican primary challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel, said his campaign has no connection to Kelly.

“I’ve reached out to Senator Cochran directly to express my abhorrence for the reprehensible actions of this individual,” McDaniel said in a statement Saturday. “This criminal act is deeply offensive and my team and I categorically reject such appalling behavior.”

Kelly’s Facebook page includes one photo of Kelly with McDaniel at a campaign meet-and-greet

event and another photo of a McDaniel campaign sign.

Kelly has a blog called Constitutional Clayton, which includes a post that says: “When it comes to Republicans with a bad voting record, you can’t get any worse than Thad Cochran.

Thad should represent the ‘Controlled Opposition’ Wing of the Republicans more than John McCain or Lindsey Graham.”

Clark is chairman of the Butler Snow law firm, where former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour works. Barbour is a former Republican National Committee chairman and is supporting Cochran in the Senate race.

“Senator Cochran asked our firm to represent him in this matter,” Clark said in a statement Saturday.

“We believed a crime may have been committed and we immediately notified the City of Madison Police Department since St. Catherine’s Nursing

Home is located in the City of Madison. The police conducted an investigation, still in progress, resulting in the arrest last night. As you can imagine, Senator Cochran’s first concern was that of the safety of his wife as well as the invasion of her privacy and dignity.”

Clark said St. Catherine’s Village is also investigating.

“I have been fortunate to have a wonderful family, and like so many families, we are deeply affected by my wife’s serious, longterm illness, that we consider to be a very private family matter,” Cochran said in a statement Saturday. “We will continue doing everything we can to protect my wife’s safety and security.”

Cochran, 76, was elected to the Senate in 1978 after six years in the House. He is a former chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

NEW ORLEANS — An appeals court has upheld the rejection of an age discrimination claim by a former Tupelo airport director.

The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that a trial court was right to dismiss Terry Anderson’s claim that he was fired because of his age, agreeing there’s no good reason to believe that’s why the airport board fired Anderson.

The three-judge court accepted the Tupelo Regional Airport Authority’s claims that board members fired Anderson because they

lost confidence in him after statements that board members construed as lies.

Anderson and some board members had a falling-out after the board rejected a runway extension in 2009.

Anderson claimed in his initial lawsuit that he was illegally fired because he was 64 and had spoken to a reporter for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal about the runway rejection.

Anderson did not pursue claims that his First Amendment rights were violated by the firing on appeal after U.S. District Judge Mike Mills rejected them.

One bride-to-be received the shock of her life after being notified by her local Belk store that she was the grand prize winner of a lavish bridal package.

“It was just too good to be true,” said Corinth native Hailey Henry who originally thought the call was a scam.

After contacting Belk and receiving confirmation that she was indeed a winner, the enormity of the news began to soak in.

Henry had been selected out of all the brides in 300 stores company-wide to be the recipient of a prize package valued at $12,000.

Items included a Marchesa Wedding gown, dinnerware (service for 12), an airline

voucher for travel to N.Y., hotel accommodations, spa treatments for two, dinner, a $1000 Belk gift card and $2,000 worth of jewelry.

“I had all these emotions running through my head,” said the 23-year old. “I was surprised, excited and overwhelmed. It was such a blessing.”

Twice a year the store hosts a bridal engagement party for the brides registered at Belk.

“Hailey was the winner of our Feb. 23 party,” said Bridal Consultant Phyllis Justice. “It’s always very exciting because they get to come in, enjoy refreshments and scan the items they want to add to their registry.”

At the parties, brides also receive a percentage off on the items they purchase.

“We invite customers to join in as well. It’s just a nice social event that everyone seems to really enjoy and one of the many great ways Belk gives back to the community,” said Justice.

Hailey Henry, daughter of Shelia and Joey Henry is a 2009 graduate of Kossuth High School. She earned her nursing degree at Northeast Mississippi Community College and now works as a Registered Nurse at McNairy Regional Hospital in Selmer, Tenn.

Her 24-year-old fiance, Tyler Gee, son of Frankie and Wondra Gee is a 2008 graduate of McNairy Central High School. He attended Tennessee Fire and Codes Academy in Bell Buckle, Tenn. an is currently working as a firefighter for the City of Jackson, Tenn.

The bride said she looks forward to her wedding and is eagerly anticipating the day.

The couple will exchange vows on June 14.

Online party invites include too much gift information D E A R ABBY: My daughter’s third birthday is coming soon, and since the new thing is Abigail sending out Van Buren website-generated invitations, I have Dear Abby noticed that it is becoming common to include the child’s interests, clothes/shoe size, etc. in the invitation.

I’m uncomfortable about including this information because I feel a child should be grateful for anything he or she receives as a gift. Am I too oldfashioned or is this tacky? If it is acceptable these days, what’s a good way to provide a child’s wish list without sounding expectant of anything? -- YOUNG MOM IN SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA DEAR YOUNG MOM: I appreciate that you want to teach your child good manners and good values. How else are children to learn if their parents don’t take the time to explain what they are?

I understand some parents try to save time by including

the information you have described along with their party invitations, but frankly, it IS tacky.

The parents of prospective guests should reply to the invitation by ASKING what gifts the child would enjoy or can use.

If the invitation was issued online, the question can be asked via texting or email. However, a phone call is more personal and, frankly, more refined.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 38-yearold male who has never been married. I have been in three serious relationships, all of them with women who have children. Each time when these relationships ended, I found myself heartbroken and traumatized. I experienced a kind of withdrawal because of the emotional bond I had with the children.

I have now decided to date only women who have no children.

But my friends and co-workers say I’m being short-sighted and “closing the door to several opportunities.” Because of our disagreements, I find myself spending more and more time away from them, and more time alone.

Are my friends right? Or should I stick to my guns and keep looking for that special someone who does not come

with a family attached? -- MONTANA LONELY DEAR MONTANA LONELY: If you prefer to start dating women who don’t have children, that is your privilege. Your friends may think you will be missing out on a good thing, but it’s really none of their business.

While I agree that by going in this direction you may miss out on a lovely lady who also happens to be a mother, because your sadness after your breakups had more to do with missing the children than the woman you were seeing, a change of pace might be healthy for you.

P.S. If you think these breakups were painful for you, imagine what it was like for the children to have a potential father to whom they had grown close disappear from their lives. This is why many mothers keep their dating lives completely separate until they are sure the relationship will be permanent.

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).

You won’t do everything on your list today. Be sure to put the less pressing items on the schedule, though, so they don’t fall through the cracks. Thoroughness will count more than you think.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Energetically, yearning affirms what you don’t have instead of what you do. So it’s important that you do not yearn for what you want. If you really want it, the thing to do is to act as though it’s already yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your success will depend on the way you apply yourself mentally. If you can stop yourself from thinking about the wrong things and get your head in the game instead, you could actually win this.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your sign mate Helen Keller has the best advice for you today: “Security is mostly a superstition. ... Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either

a daring adventure, or nothing. “ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Talking about what you want is the first step to bringing it into existence. Good, supportive friends will be able to hear your plans without being threatened by them in any way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You want your life to have structure but not to be so rigid that there’s no room for change, spontaneity and creativity. All will respect the standards you set today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll have several ideas about promoting yourself, and one of them will work brilliantly. But which one? Talk with a savvy Capricorn or Virgo to figure it out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Stick close to the people who help you stay emotionally centered. Avoid fixating on one narrow aspect of life. Focusing too intently and too small will blind you to the many opportunities that exist around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll accomplish what needs doing if you don’t let yourself do anything else until the hard tasks are completed.

Being strict with your schedule now will set you up for success later in the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The thing that’s worth doing can’t be done alone. The enormity of the task will force you to reach out in ways you normally wouldn’t. By the end of the month, you’ll consider yourself richer for these new connections.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). While you’re feeling strong and secure, document the moment. This way, when fear comes to visit (and no life is exempt from this occasional visitor), you’ll be ready to do battle.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your struggles may be a sign that you’re not well suited to a task, which is not your fault. Life suddenly gets easier when you use the talent that naturally energizes you.

Associated Press

BALTIMORE — It gets even harder from here on out for California Chrome.

He won easily in his home state of California, he dazzled in the Kentucky Derby and he dug deep to win the Preakness on Saturday.

Now comes the toughest test of all, the Belmont Stakes in three weeks.

The chestnut colt with four white feet will attempt to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont, something that hasn’t been done since Affirmed in 1978.

Since then, 12 horses have won the first two legs and failed to complete the sweep in the 1 ½-mile Belmont; the last was I’ll Have Another, who was scratched on the eve of the Belmont two years ago.

“You have to have a very good horse to win these three races,” said Art Sherman, the winning 77-year-old trainer.

“I’m hoping I’ve got one right now.”

Maybe the horse with the modest pedigree and average Joe owners is the one.

California Chrome defeated Ride On Curlin by 1½ lengths in the Preakness, cov-

ering 1 3/16 miles in 1:54.84 on a sunny and cool day at Pimlico.

He’s now won six straight races. The streak started with four in a row in California by a combined 24 ¼ lengths.

Then California Chrome coasted home in the Derby by 1 ¾ lengths after opening up a big lead in the stretch.

The margin dwindled in the Preakness as he fought off multiple challengers.

California Chrome’s coowner Steve Coburn shed tears after his colt crossed the finish line, dabbing them away with a blue-and-white bandanna.

“I don’t mean to be bold or cocky or arrogant,” Coburn said. “I saw this baby when he was a day old, I told my wife, ‘Carolyn, this horse is going to do something big. I don’t know what it is, but we’re going to stay in the game to make sure this colt gets to be the best that he can be.’”

Quite a statement from a guy with a one-horse stable.

Coburn and partner Perry Martin bred an $8,000 mare to a $2,500 stallion to produce California Chrome.

Based on the colt’s humble breeding, he probably

shouldn’t be on the verge of making history.

His mother, named Love the Chase, won just one race.

The owners were long shots to get this far, too.

Coburn and Martin named their operation DAP Racing, which stands for Dumb Ass Partners. Their silks include an image of a donkey. Coburn and Perry who live on each side of the California-Nevada border get up early for their jobs — Coburn working as a press operator and Martin running a lab that tests highreliability equipment.

“We just hope that this horse is letting America know that the little guy can win,” Coburn said.

Sent off as the overwhelming 1-2 favorite by a record crowd of 123,469, California Chrome bounced out of the gate running, with jockey Victor Espinoza moving the colt into the clear. Pablo Del Monte, a 34-1 shot, charged to the lead and was soon joined by filly Ria Antonia.

Espinoza tucked California Chrome into third, an ideal spot behind the leaders. They stayed there until making their move approaching the final turn.

“I had to move early today,” Espinoza said. “I had to start moving at the half-mile pole, which is tough for a horse to start moving early and keep going all the way to the end.

California Chrome proved he can move.”

California Chrome went for the lead, catching Pablo Del Monte while Social Inclusion joined the chase. Pablo Del Monte soon dropped back along the rail, and California Chrome sprinted away from Social Inclusion at the top of the stretch.

But there was one more challenge to come.

Ride On Curlin, next-tolast in the 10-horse field, ranged up and briefly appeared ready to overtake California Chrome. Once again showing his class, California Chrome denied the threat.

California Chrome paid $3, $3 and $2.40. Ride On Curlin returned $5.60 and $3.80, while Social Inclusion was another 6 ½ lengths back in third and paid $3.40 as the 5-1 second choice.

General a Rod was fourth, followed by Ring Weekend, Pablo Del Monte, Dynamic Impact, Kid Cruz, Bayern and Ria Antonia.

Heat, Pacers eager for next playoff battle

BY MICHAEL MAROT Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana and Miami spent a whole season hearing about the rematch.

Today, the two Eastern Conference heavyweights will meet in the most intriguing fight of the year.

There is the possibility of a head-to-head matchup between the world’s best player, LeBron James, and the NBA’s next young superstar, Paul George. There are battle lines drawn between Miami’s perimeter shooters and Indiana’s tough inside guys.

There is history with Miami eliminating Indiana each of the past two seasons despite the Pacers pushing the Heat further than anyone expected

both times, and, of course, everyone wants to see if the young challengers will derail Miami’s quest for a third straight NBA championship.

It’s no wonder this is the most anticipated matchup of the playoffs.

“Two best teams in the Eastern Conference. It’s that simple,” James said. “I mean both teams defend at a high level, both teams share the ball, both teams get into the paint, both teams have a desire to win, so that’s why it’s been equal.”

It’s taken three years to reach this point.

In the second round in 2012, the Pacers took a 2-1 lead only to see Miami rebound with three straight wins before winning the first

title with James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

Last year, Indiana surprised everyone by pushing the Heat to the brink before faltering in a Game 7 loss as the Heat won a second straight crown.

This season, the Pacers made it clear from the start they wanted the No. 1 seed to assure Miami had to play in Indy if there was a Game 7. That long slog didn’t end until the third-to-last night of the regular season, and it’s the reason they’ll play Game 1 of this best-of-seven series at home.

Still, most observers consider Miami the favorite and with good reason. The Heat swept Charlotte in the first round and beat Brooklyn 4-1 in the second.

Indiana, meanwhile, has been tested. It had to win the last two games to beat Atlanta 4-3 in the first round, beat Washington 4-2 after failing to clinch the series at home and had to block out all the outside distractions emanating from their second-half swoon. And for a change, the Pacers don’t seem to mind what’s being said.

“I think we like being the underdogs,” Lance Stephenson said. “We like when everybody is talking about us. I think it makes our game a little bit better. It makes us want to go out and play harder, so I like being the underdog and everybody talking about us and trying to bring us down

“It’s unfortunate for us and for Serge,” league MVP Kevin Durant said after practice Saturday. “He’s a guy that loves the game so much and has to sit out at the peak of the season, being in the playoffs. But it happens in this league. Nobody’s ever going to feel sorry for us.

“We’re not going to panic.

We’re going to continue to stick to what we do.”

During the regular season, Ibaka had career highs with averages of 15.1 points and 8.8 rebounds while leading the league in total blocks for the fourth consecutive season with 219. The Thunder don’t expect to duplicate Ibaka’s explosiveness or his ability to protect the rim.

“We’re going to play team defense,” guard Russell West-

brook said. “We’re not going to take the onus on ourselves to block shots and do what Serge does, because nobody can do that.”

Brooks wouldn’t say how he would fill the minutes or who would start in Ibaka’s place.

He jokingly named almost every reserve as a possible replacement. Based on past patterns, rookie center Steven Adams and veteran forward Nick Collison will likely step in for Ibaka.

Adams has been exceptional recently. The 7-footer from New Zealand was especially effective in Game 6 against the Clippers, when he had 10 points and 11 rebounds in 40 minutes. He had never played more than 31 minutes in an NBA game.

“It was hard,” Adams said.

“My body afterwards — I felt like an old man. Going forward, I got familiar with playing while I was fatigued. I’m familiar with it. I need to get comfortable with it.”

Adams had gained his teammates’ confidence throughout the playoffs. They say he’s ready for more responsibility.

“The last two series, he played extremely well for us,” Durant said. “Doing anything we need him to do, playing hard, physical. We’re going to need him this series to do the same thing. The coaches have been preparing him. He’s learning, and he’s getting better every day.”

Still, San Antonio has to be ready for anything. The Thunder have 10 players who have

McMurray surprises in Thunder still confident, even without Ibaka All-Star race

BY CLIFF BRUNT Associated Press

Associated Press

CONCORD, N.C. — Jamie McMurray started his day at home with his young son, who vowed to spend the day playing in his sand box.

Then Carter McMurray asked his dad what he had planned for Saturday.

“I’m going to race for a million bucks,’ “ McMurray told him.

Race for it? Sure. Win it? With his Las Vegas odds at 40-1, McMurray was one of the biggest long shots Saturday night in the Sprint All-Star race.

But he pulled off a masterful upset, staging a tense door-to-door battle with Carl Edwards to grab the $1 million prize with his first All-Star victory.

McMurray was second on the restart for the 10-lap sprint to the checkered flag. Lined up outside of pole-sitter Edwards, McMurray flirted several times for the lead on a frantic lap around Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Although he surged slightly ahead several times, and the two cars appeared to touch more than once, McMurray finally cleared Edwards for the lead two laps into the fifth and final segment.

“As a kid, that is what you grew up wanting to do, is have a shootout like that and have a possibility to race for 10 laps,” McMurray said. “He got a little bit of a jump on me on the restart and I was able to hang on to his quarter panel, and when we kept entering Turn 1 and 3, I was like, ‘It is for a million bucks. If we wreck, it’s not that big of a deal.’

“It’s so cool to come out on top.”

Once he cleared Edwards, McMurray easily pulled away for the victory.

McMurray’s first career victory came at Charlotte in 2002 in his second start with Chip Ganassi Racing.

Kevin Harvick finished second, Matt Kenseth was third and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who complained earlier he was driving a dump truck, was fourth.

Edwards faded all the way to fifth.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Thunder players fondly described Serge Ibaka’s contributions to the team this season and explained how much he’d be missed.

Then, they moved on.

Ibaka, one of the NBA’s top shot blockers, hurt his left calf in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinal against the Los Angeles Clippers. A day after the team learned it would likely be without its best defender for the rest of the playoffs, Oklahoma City began practicing for the Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs. Game 1 is Monday night, and the Thunder will take a businessas-usual approach into San Antonio.

Braves’ difficulties continue in defeat at St. Louis Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Fredi Gonzalez felt strongly about a call that went against the Atlanta Braves that he charged out of the dugout for a second time after getting ejected.

A foiled sacrifice bunt that became a double-play ball in a 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday was a chance the Braves’ scuffling offense couldn’t afford to miss.

“What are you going to do?” said Gonzalez, who was booted in the fifth by home plate umpire Ron Kulpa. “We still scored one run.

“We score a run on a throwing error and pretty much that’s all we had to go on.”

The Braves scored two or fewer runs for the 19th time

in 41 games, and got beat by an opponent that did the little things. The Cardinals had four bunt singles, two each by rookie Kolten Wong and Peter Bourjos, and three of them led to runs in support of Shelby Miller’s strongest outing of the season.

“We were absolutely in the game,” Jason Heyward said.

“But you have to execute the small things.”

Wong scored on Yadier Molina’s shallow sacrifice fly just beyond the infield to tie it in the fourth, and bunted for a hit and drew a wild throw in the go-ahead, two-run rally off Aaron Harang (4-4) in the sixth.

Wong got the go-ahead to tag up after second baseman Tyler Pastornicky backped-

aled into shallow right to make the catch, and Heyward, the right fielder, arrived too late.

“By the time I realized I could get there, it would have been tough to call him off,” Heyward said. “Heads-up play on their part by sending the runner.

“He kind of caught it offbalance, and I felt like I would have caught it the same way.”

The Cardinals matched a season high with their fourth straight win.

Miller (6-2) allowed a run and five hits in seven innings, one inning longer than his previous high this season. He matched his season best with seven strikeouts, fanning B.J. Upton three times.

Trevor Rosenthal fanned

two in the ninth inning, with Upton striking out a fourth time, to earn his 13th save in 14 chances.

Andrelton Simmons had three hits for Atlanta, which lost its third in a row.

“You check the temperature of the club every single day and guys are upbeat,” Gonzalez said. “Nobody likes to lose, but I haven’t seen anybody put their head down.”

Bourjos bunted twice for hits, the second time squeezing home a run in the seventh to make it 4-1.

Miller has won six straight decisions in seven starts after losing his first two of the season. The last three St. Louis starters have worked seven innings.

but we stay together as a unit, stay poised in the locker room. It just makes us stronger.”

Here are three more things to watch in this series: BIG ROY: Nobody has been more inconsistent in these playoffs than Roy Hibbert, and yet nobody may be more crucial than Hibbert in this series. A year ago, the All-Star center caused so many problems that Miami signed injury-prone Greg Oden. After an abysmal start to the playoffs, Hibbert regained his footing against Washington. But if the Pacers are going to win this series, they need Hibbert to play well every night.

SMALL BALL: Hawks

guard Jeff Teague thought his team provided the blueprint to beating Indiana. Atlanta stretched Indiana’s defense by using five 3-point shooters, and when the Wizards copied the approach and knocked down shots, that, too, gave Indiana trouble. Will Miami go small this time? Perhaps, and it may be one way to make Hibbert less of a factor, too.

HOLDING AT HOME: Indiana finished the regular season with the best home record in the league (35-6). It hasn’t helped the Pacers at all in the playoffs. Indiana is 3-4 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, giving away home-court advantage Game 1 losses in each of the first two series.

started at some point this season.

“They are going to change their lineups,” Spurs forward Tim Duncan said. “They have a lot of very capable players, very good players and they’re a very good team.

Obviously, it’s big to lose such a part of their team, but we’re going to do what we do and show up how we have to show up and bring the energy that we have to bring.”

San Antonio’s guards, especially Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, won’t find as much resistance at the rim.

“Of course, he’s a big part of what they do be-

cause defensively he’s everywhere blocking shots, and the last few years, he’s become a big threat knocking down those 18-, 17-footers,” Ginobili said. “He’s quite a loss for them. Hopefully we use that to our advantage.”

Oklahoma City has been in similar binds.

Westbrook and starters Thabo Sefolosha and Kendrick Perkins each missed at least 20 games this season, and the Thunder still finished with the league’s second-best record. Because of those experiences, Brooks said the team remains confident it can advance to the NBA Finals.

9/11 museum opens to relatives, survivors

BY JONATHAN LEMIRE AND VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tears in her eyes, firefighter widow Maureen Fanning emerged Thursday from the new Sept. 11 museum deep beneath ground zero, unable to bring herself to look at all of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think it would be a little too overwhelming today,â&#x20AC;? she said, unsure when she would return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to digest, to absorb. Not anytime soon.â&#x20AC;?

Victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friends and relatives, rescue workers and survivors of the terrorist attack descended into the subterranean space and revisited the tragedy as the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum was dedicated by President Barack Obama as a symbol that says of America: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing can ever break us.â&#x20AC;?

The museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artifacts range from the monumental, like two of the huge fork-shaped columns from the World Trade Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facade, to the intimate: a wedding ring, a victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice mail message.

Some relatives found the exhibits both upsetting and inspiring.

Patricia Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit came down to one small object: the New York Police Department shield her mother, Moira, was

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have your moments when there can be solitude, moments when there can be happiness, and a mixture of emotions through the entire museum.â&#x20AC;?

David Greenberg wearing 12½ years ago when she died helping to evacuate the twin towers.

Patricia, 14, said she left feeling a new level of connection to her mother. Still, â&#x20AC;&#x153;seeing that, reading the story that goes along with it, even if I already know it, is really upsetting,â&#x20AC;? she said.

David Greenberg, who lost a dozen colleagues who met for breakfast at the trade centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Windows on the World restaurant on Sept. 11, called the museum â&#x20AC;&#x153;breathtaking, awe-inspiring and emotional.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have your moments when there can be solitude, moments when there can be happiness, and a mixture of emotions through the entire museum,â&#x20AC;? said Greenberg, who worked at an office nearby.

The museum opens to the public Wednesday, but many of those affected most directly by 9/11 could start exploring it Thursday.

Family members also paid their first visits to a repository at the museum that contains unidentified remains from the disaster.

Monica Iken never received her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here. I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here,â&#x20AC;? Iken, a museum board member, said after leaving the repository.

Many in the audience wiped away tears during the dedication ceremony, which revisited both the horror and the heroism of Sept. 11, 2001, the day 19 al-Qaida hijackers crashed four airliners into the trade center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in an attack that plunged the U.S. into a decade of war in Afghanistan against al-Qaidaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Taliban protectors.

After viewing some of the exhibits, including a mangled fire truck and a memorial wall with photos of victims, Obama retold the story of Welles Crowther, a 24-year-old World Trade Center

worker who became known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the man in the red bandannaâ&#x20AC;? after he led others to safety from one of the towers. He died in the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collapse.

The president said the museum pays tribute to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the true spirit of 9/11 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; love, compassion, sacrifice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like the great wall and bedrock that embrace us today,â&#x20AC;?

Obama said, referring to the way an underground flood wall withstood the attack, â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing can ever break us. Nothing can change who we are as Americans.â&#x20AC;?

One of the red bandannas Crowther made a habit of carrying is in the museum. Crowtherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Alison, said she hoped it would inspire visitors to help other people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the true legacy of Sept.

11,â&#x20AC;? she said.

At the dedication ceremony, retired Fire Department Lt. Mickey Cross described being trapped for hours in the wreckage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and then joining the recovery effort after being rescued.

Kayla Bergeron remembered taking her final steps to safety, after 68 flights, on the battered staircase that now sits in the museum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, when I think about those stairs, what they represent to me is resiliency,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Rural Land in North Mississippi ...Limited Quantities, Unlimited Potential

Roommates return cash in couch Associated Press

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For all the screaming and carrying on, their neighbors thought theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d won the lottery. But it was a lumpy old sofa stuffed with $40,000 in cash that had three young roommates raising a ruckus.

And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other side of the ticket: They returned the money to the 91-year-old widow whose couch had been given away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just pulled out envelopes and envelopes,â&#x20AC;? said Cally Guasti, a social worker with Family of Woodstock who shares an apartment with two friends in New Paltz.

Guasti told The Associated Press on Thursday that she and her friends had bought the beat-up couch and a chair for $55 at a Salvation Army thrift shop in March. They noticed the arm cushions were weirdly lumpy. Then, one night in April, one of them, State University of New York at New Paltz student Reese Werkhoven, opened a zipper on one arm and found an envelope.

It contained $4,000 in bubble-wrapped bills.

Guasti, Werkhoven and roMixed in with the cash was a deposit slip with a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on it.

Wiley Harben: ‘The Kettle Corn Man’ Man turns out sweet and salty goodness for festivals and fairs

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

The sweet-and-salty goodness of kettle corn is a mainstay at fairs and festivals across the county.

At events around the Crossroads, Wiley’s Kettle Corn is the place to pick up a bag of the tasty treat.

Most recently Wiley Harben set up shop at a Green Market at the Crossroads Museum in downtown Corinth.

From inside his iconic red and yellow makeshift tent, the humble 53-yearold fires up the propane on his 11th year in the business.

“I’ve never been a big popcorn fan,” says Harben, as he slips into his cooking attire. “But when I do eat corn, it’s from my kettle.”

Kettle corn is a variety of popcorn that is normally mixed with a lightcolored refined sugar that requires constant stirring or the sugar will burn. It is a traditional treat that dates back to before the 18th century. In fact, it is noted that kettle corn was consumed at events in Pennsylvania in 1776 during the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

While cooking the corn, Harben must wear an old welding helmet, shirt and groves, because the process puts off so much heat.

“I don’t know how hot the kettle gets, but it’s hot enough to pop my corn,” he says.

The kettle is a 60-gallon stainless steel pot, once used by a cannery, that Harben rigged in a steel jacket. He uses an old boating oar like giant spoon to mix the ingredients together.

“I use only 100 per-

cent corn oil, granulated sugar and salt,” the Guys, Tenn., native says. “If the kettle is hot enough, I can turn out a batch every five to six minutes.”

One batch will produce 15 bags of the yummy snack available for purchase at $4 a bag.

To help wash down the kettle corn, Harben offers what he says is the best hand squeezed lemonade in the world.

“It’s my wife’s recipe,” he says. “She got it off a carnival employee. People have asked her for the recipe, but she won’t give away the secret.”

The father of three grown children credits his wife of 29 years, Lisa, for getting him in the popcorn business.

“When the kids were little, we would go on vacations to the mountains,” Harben says. “My wife would stop at every kettle corn stand on the highway. I finally told her I was going to learn how to cook it so she would never go hungry.”

After retiring from Pickwick Electric with more than 20 years under his belt, Harben tried his hand at cooking corn full time.

“All I did for one year was sell kettle corn,” he says. “I survived, but very poorly.”

For the last two years, he has worked at Rides To Go, but he spends his weekends cooking corn at events all over the region.

“I do about 40 events a year,” the corn cooker says. “I’ve been all the way to Memphis and Nashville and I’m always here (Green Market).”

VISTA member emphasizes the arts in Oxford

BY M. SCOTT MORRIS Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal

OXFORD — Stacey Sanford won’t win the War on Poverty all by herself.

But she’s spent the past year trying to win little victories as a VISTA member based at the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council in Oxford.

Volunteers in Service to America was created during President Lyndon Johnson’s administration, and was brought under the AmericaCorps umbrella in the 1990s.

“It’s like the Peace Corps but in America,” the 27-year-old University of Mississippi graduate said. “We are supposed to alleviate poverty. We’re supposed to help people live better.”

Sanford has taken direct aim at those two goals while working at the arts council.

She’s overseen programs to expand access to concerts, plays and other events, and also helped teach struggling artists the skills needed to compete in a tough economy.

“The thing about Stacey is she’s a go-getter,” said Andi Bedsworth, 43, an Oxford-based artist and educator. “She is focused on what she’s doing.”

It’s important to note that Sanford didn’t spend the past year re-inventing the wheel. It’s more precise to say she’s put wheels in motion.

“A lot of the things that have happened were part of our long-range goals,” said Wayne Andrews, executive director of YAC. “She was able to carry them out. She’s our fulltime person who’s making these programs happen setting them up, meeting with people, making con-

nections.”

Sanford has a deep appreciation for what the arts can do for individuals and communities.

She cited a 2008 study that found young people who painted, acted, sang or otherwise expressed themselves through the arts were more likely to apply for higher education.

“The arts prepare kids for future opportunities,” she said.

Art for Everyone is a simple concept: Get event tickets into the hands of people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to take advantage of Oxford’s thriving arts and entertainment scene.

“How do we make it an equal opportunity for them?” Sanford said. “We didn’t want to make it feel like a handout. We wanted to do it without making them feel less than.”

Sanford worked with venues and donors to create an ongoing supply of tickets, then partnered with the Lafayette County & Oxford Public Library to get those tickets into the right hands.

“There is no card to swipe that says, Oh, you’re poor.’ There’s no fee and no paperwork,” Sanford said. “You don’t have to prove how poor you are, so you don’t have to tell your story. You just use your library card.

That’s it. Anybody can get a library card.”

It’s not a new idea. Library officials have wanted to put something like Art for Everyone in motion for years.

“They just didn’t have the staff to call around and get it organized,” Sanford said.

“They needed someone to be the middleman and make it happen.”

Gov. Phil Bryant has declared this the year of the creative economy, and Sanford and YAC take that seriously.

“We like to say, Artists are really good at arting, but not necessarily good at business,’” Sanford said.

The ARTomaton was designed to teach business practices like budgeting. Located at The Powerhouse on University Boulevard, it’s a vending machine that sells small pieces of original paintings, woodwork and more.

“We told all the artists that since it will be sold for $5, don’t spend $800 on supplies,” Sanford said.

Oxford artist Frank Estrada painted some pieces with the words “Hotty Toddy.” They might seem like sure bets in the home of the Ole Miss Rebels,

but they haven’t been his biggest sellers.

“Believe it or not, he sells more of his roosters,” Sanford said. “People love them.”

Estrada, 24, won’t be quitting his day job. The ARTomaton hasn’t directly resulted in sales of his larger pieces, but it is helping to get the word out.

“It’s good to have exposure at The Powerhouse because there are a lot of events that go on there, so a lot of people come see the art,” Estrada said.

No matter what happens with the programs, the War on Poverty will continue, but the end of Sanford’s VISTA year provides an opportunity to savor a small victory or two.

“I know this,” Bedsworth said, “She’s impacted the arts in Oxford definitely.”

Wedding themes can add up to extra fun Every couple wants their wedding to be memorable. For some couples, a theme wedding is the best way to accomplish just that.

When it comes time to select a theme, the day the wedding takes place may dictate the theme. For example, if the wedding takes place on Halloween, the ideas for the theme are easy. Many other couples choose a theme that highlights a specific interest or hobby or something that is dear to them. Here are some popular wedding themes.

• Holiday: The Christmas season lends itself well to wedding planning.

The colors are already established, and most churches and buildings are already decked out in holiday finery, cutting down on the amount of flowers and embellishments couples need. Because the holiday season is so busy and a popular time for socializing, couples who want to tie the knot during this time of year should send savethe-date cards well in advance.

• Vegas: Couples who want to tie the knot in Las Vegas but want to ensure all their loved ones can attend can recreate the magic of Vegas wherever they may be. Casino-inspired games and big buffet meals can make guests feel like they have stepped into a casino on the famed Vegas strip. An Elvis impersonator is essential to

a Vegas wedding.

• TV show: Some couples elevate certain television shows to cult status.

Whether it’s “Friends” or “Star Trek,” popular television shows have been transformed into festive wedding themes. Whether the idea is to go daring and exchange vows in costume or simply name reception tables according to characters or show locations, couples can include a little TV fun into the event.

• Fairytale: Many men and women envision a fairytale wedding complete with horse-drawn carriage and the “happily ever after.” This is what makes Disney properties as well as the various castles around the world popular backdrops for wedding events. Those planning a fairytale wedding need only look to favorite stories or movies for their inspiration.

• Interest or passion: Love to climb mountains?

Avid about scuba diving? Couples who share a particular interest can include elements of this sport or hobby into their wedding.

Invitations and decor can hint at the theme. Fish bowls as centerpieces may call to mind underwater adventures, while surfboard-shaped invites may set the scene for a beachside party.

Theme weddings can add an extra spice to the festivities and incorporate couples’ interests into the event -- making it even more special.

Think carefully about honeymoon As couples cope with the stress and struggles of planning a wedding, many begin to see their honeymoons as a time when they can finally unwind and relax without having to worry about seating arrangements, vendor negotiations or the host of other responsibilities that come with planning a wedding. But securing the perfect honeymoon can be nearly as difficult as planning the wedding.

The biggest dilemma couples face when planning a honeymoon is where to spend that first week or so as a married couple. The right locale for a honeymoon varies depending on the couple. Some might prefer a Hawaiian island while others might find a week spent camping in a national park is more their style. Whatever you and your future spouse’s style may be, the following are a few tips to ensure you both have the time of your lives.

• Decide what you can afford. The days when the bride’s father takes

care of the bill for the wedding are largely a thing of the past. Many of today’s couples finance their own weddings, which can leave little money leftover for the honeymoon. When shopping for a honeymoon destination, know what you can and can’t afford.

Your honeymoon budget may narrow your options considerably, but it will help you ensure you aren’t spending your first trip as a married couple pinching pennies.

• Play around with the length of your trip. Many couples aim to spend at least one week on their honeymoons. But one way to save money on the honeymoon or make a more expensive locale more affordable is to reduce the length of your stay. An extra two days in paradise might break your honeymoon budget, but what about a shorter stay? You will likely want to spend at least five days at your chosen destination, but a five-day trip can prove considerably less expensive than a full week, especially if you

arrive and depart on a weekday.

• Travel in the offseason. While many couples deserve an immediate getaway after planning and financing their weddings, you might get a better deal if you delay your honeymoon until the offseason, when resorts tend to offer more attractive packages after the tourist season has peaked. A honeymoon in the offseason is likely to offer more privacy than one taken during the peak of the season, so you might find such a honeymoon is more romantic.

If you do decide to delay your honeymoon, you might still want to plan a short getaway to a nearby locale for a few days after you tie the knot. Even a short trip can help you unwind after all that planning and coordinating.

• Establish a honeymoon registry. In addition to who’s paying for the wedding, one of the ways in which today’s couples are different from those of yesteryear is the fact that many couples now live together be-

fore tying the knot. That reality has made the traditional registry somewhat obsolete, as many of today’s couples already own their own furniture and already have a fully stocked kitchen.

But couples can still have a honeymoon registry, which allows their guests to donate money they would otherwise be spending on a wedding gift to a fund that will be used specifically to fund the couple’s honeymoon and any adventures they choose to enjoy on their trip. Guests may even prefer such a registry, as it saves them the trouble of wrapping a gift and carrying it to the wedding while ensuring the happy couple will truly enjoy their gift.

A couple’s honeymoon is a great opportunity to unwind and enjoy some rest and relaxation on their first trip together as man and wife. And by putting a few savvy suggestions to good use, couples can ensure their honeymoon is all they hoped it would be and much, much more.

Use cuisine to create a memorable wedding Despite the months of planning and poring over every minute detail of a wedding, it has often been said that what people remember most about wedding receptions is the food and if they had fun.

Therefore, instead of worrying about choosing Jordan almonds over chocolate truffles, or whether the cake should have an extra tier, couples may want to pay more attention to selecting their reception menus.

Although certain foods are wedding staples, it could pay for couples to think with their stomachs instead of their heads when selecting wedding day fare. Having a selection of foods that taste as good as they look is a wise idea over having certain foods simply because they are trendy.

Whether you are cooking yourself, having a family member serve as chef or relying on the menu of the reception hall, think about foods that will please guests and select those items, regardless of them being fancy. Here are some other tips.

• You want foods to be filling but not so much so that guests have to waddle to the dance floor. If you’re planning on several courses, keep portion sizes small to offer a taste of the different items offered.

• Classic foods can work well as wedding fare. Roasts, barbecued meats and favorite pasta dishes can make guests feel like they’re dining at someone’s home and

Think outside the box for your cocktail hour “bars.” A bread bar, a dipping station, milk and cookies service, or vegetable bar are options that go against the standard cheese and pasta stations. not at a wedding.

• Choose items people have heard of. Instead of tornadoes of beef, select a hearty prime rib.

Just because a dish sounds fancy doesn’t make it taste better. If a guest doesn’t know what he or she is eating, it can be uncomfortable.

Now is not the time to experiment with exotic foods, either. Otherwise, some picky eaters may be left hungry.

• Think about the foods you love and see if they can be incorporated at the wedding. Although a breakfast bar at an evening event may seem funny, waffles and omelets may appeal to a greater number of guests than a gourmet fish creation.

• Don’t make vegetarians an af-

terthought. Too often, vegetarians must eat whatever the kitchen can pull together, which is usually a compilation of the vegetable garnishes from the meat dishes. Make an effort to have a true vegetarian dish that is intricate and delicious.

• Mashed potatoes are a crowd pleaser. Serve little portions of mashed potatoes in cocktail glasses and enable guests to top as they see fit with bacon bits, cheese or chives.

• No idea is silly, and serving any type of food in a hors d’oeuvre style can make it acceptable at a formal affair, whether that food is pizza or caviar-topped crackers.

• If you have a favorite restaurant that serves delicious food, find out if they will cater your wedding.

• Just because it isn’t on the menu doesn’t mean it cannot be prepared. Talk to the catering manager and let him or her know your preferences. Provided you’re willing to pay a little more, there’s a good chance you can have items that aren’t on the standard catering menu.

• Think outside the box for your cocktail hour “bars.” A bread bar, a dipping station, milk and cookies service, or vegetable bar are options that go against the standard cheese and pasta stations.

Although it’s your wedding, ultimately the goal is to please the guests. By choosing foods they will love and rave about, you’re guaranteed positive remarks on your wedding.

Color is key for choosing bridesmaids’ dresses Bridesmaids are an important part of the wedding party, and most brides opt to have a handful of close friends and family members play a special role in the wedding. Choosing a gown and a color that will flatter all of the bridesmaids typically takes a little work.

An overwhelming majority of couples choose to have a formal wedding.

The average number of bridesmaids for these formal weddings is four.

Considering around two million weddings take place in North America every year, that’s a lot of bridesmaids for whom gowns and other attire must be planned.

Many bridesmaids worry about the gowns they will wear come the big day. Horrible bridesmaid dresses have been the butt of jokes for years, and many people have their own stories of garish gowns they’ve been asked to don for a wedding. Some have said that brides intentionally choose ugly

gowns for their bridesmaids to ensure they’re not outshined come the wedding day. Although this may be the case for some, most brides aspire to select gowns that will be flattering for all. And color scheme is integral in the choice of gown.

Every well-planned wedding carries a color scheme throughout.

This includes the color a bride selects for her bridesmaids to wear. But not every color accentuates everyone’s features.

Therefore, some experimentation might be necessary to find a color that is flattering to all and fits with the color scheme.

Depending on hair color and skin shade, there are many flattering hues available for gowns.

When making this decision, consider bridesmaids’ ethnicity and skin tone.

African-American: Women with dark skin and hair may really shine in jewel-colored gowns, including silver, gold, purple and salmon. Very pale colors may be daring

and conspicuous.

Asian and oliveskinned women: Those with a slight yellow tone to their skin will look good in many colors, including red, navy, peach, and fuchsia. However, avoid colors in light yellow, aqua, gray, taupe, or mint, which may make the bridesmaid look washed out.

Fair skin: Ladies with pale skin will benefit from richly colored gowns in jewel tones.

Pastels may work, but be careful about those depending on hair color.

Pink or red-hued gowns may clash with someone with auburn hair. Yellow and green may not work with a fair brunette. Gray and silver may wash out someone who is pale and blonde.

Once a color is chosen, brides also need to consider the season. Certain colors may look out of place depending on the season. For example, an evergreen or deep blue may seem wintry during a summer wedding. Similarly, russet or brown

may work for the autumn but not for a spring wedding. Many brides gravitate toward mid-level blues, greens, pinks and purples for their weddings, simply because those colors transcend the seasons.

After colors are worked out, the style of the gown deserves consideration. Because not every bridesmaid has the same physical attributes, many brides are now open to selecting a color and length and allowing the bridesmaid herself to choose the exact style.

This way someone who is busty won’t feel uncomfortable in strapless, and someone who is thin won’t be overwhelmed by a lot of ruffles. The intent is to have bridesmaids feel beautiful and comfortable, and different styles can help achieve this.

Making the effort to choose a gown color and style that is flattering to all in the bridal party will help the ladies feel they are truly a special part of the wedding.

Rush Limbaugh wins children’s book award

BY HILLEL ITALIE AP National Writer

NEW YORK — Rush Limbaugh has won a children’s book prize designed to be chosen by kids themselves.

But that doesn’t mean all of his voters were young people.

On Wednesday night, Limbaugh received the Children’s Choice Book Award for author of the year, defeating such superstars as Veronica Roth, Rick Riordan and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” writer Jeff Kinney, the winner in 2012 and 2013. The conservative commentator won for “Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims,” a book that landed high on the best-seller lists of Amazon.com and other outlets despite limited

mainstream coverage.

From the moment Limbaugh’s nomination was announced, in March, conservatives were delighted, liberals angered and others simply puzzled — emotions only amplified by Limbaugh’s victory, which raised his book from No. 71 on Amazon the day before to the top 10 Thursday.

Nominees are selected by the most objective method possible, sales, while the winners are supposedly picked by kids, who vote online. But executive director Robin Adelson of the Children’s Book Council and Every Child a Reader, nonprofit organizations that cofounded the awards seven years ago, acknowledged Thursday that adults

“We’ve received some hate mail. We’ve been accused of endorsing Rush Limbaugh and supporting Rush Limbaugh. We endorse and support children.”

Robin Adelson Executive director, Children’s Book Council could easily vote and vote multiple times, a problem not uncommon for Internet competitions.

“Every one of our finalists gets fake votes every year,” Adelson told The Associated Press. “We like to think that’s the enthusiasm of adults who love children’s books.”

Adelson cited three ways that people can vote: a widget that can be embedded in such popular

kids’ websites as www. poptropica.com, a link on the awards website (ccbookawards.com) that allows individuals to vote and a link on the awards site that allows teachers, librarians and others to submit bulk votes on behalf of their institution.

Adelson said she doubted that parents or other grown-ups were voting through Poptropica, but acknowledged the awards

wide lead, but that voting tightened considerably in the final weeks and the outcome was “fair and close.”

“It’s not as if he received millions of votes and everybody else and received 10,” she said. “It was far, far closer.”

Adelson said total votes this year only increased modestly, from 1.1 million to 1.2 million, and added that voting has generally gone up each year. She emphasized the awards have no mission beyond encouraging kids to read.

Bulk voters are required to submit a verifiable email, but there is no guarantee that a given teacher or librarian is really expressing the wishes of others.

“We send emails and make phone calls. A lot of manual labor goes into verifying (bulk voters),” Adelson said. “Do we catch them all? Of course not.”

Limbaugh has touted his nomination on his radio show and on his website, www.rushlimbaugh. com. Adelson said Limbaugh initially enjoyed a

Actor Michael Douglas, a longtime friend and frequent subject for Walters’ interviews, also dropped by for the tribute, which aired Friday on ABC. Looking smart in a cream-colored blazer and a black skirt, the 84-yearold Walters was presiding over a studio audience of friends, colleagues and fans on hand to witness a bit of history.

Although she will retain a behind-the-scenes role as executive producer of the talk show she created 17 years ago, she is ending her daily on-air involvement, while limiting ABC News appearances to the occasional story or interview.

Then audience members could snap photos and interact with Walters and her co-panelists (Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy).

At one point Walters, spying the New York Knicks’ J.R. Smith in the stands, broke up the room by telling him that, now, with retirement, “I just want you to know I’m buying the Clippers.”

The audience erupted at the sight of Winfrey, who told Walters, “You’re the reason I wanted to be in television.”

“You shattered the glass ceiling for so many women,” said Winfrey, who then brought on a startling parade of them, some two dozen prominent on-air women including Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Robin Roberts, Gayle King, Connie Chung and Joan Lunden.

“You are my legacy,” Walters, visibly moved, said to them as they crowded around her.

The hour had its comic twist: In a pre-taped segment, Walters (who, after all, has interviewed everybody else) lobbed some questions at herself, in the person of former “Saturday Night Live” player Cheri Oteri doing a spoton Walters imitation.

Barbara asked fauxBarbara what she plans to do in retirement, drawing the response that she means to do some things she never had time for in the past. For example: “I’d like to get a Costco card.”

Walters brought the hour to a close with a heartfelt statement looking back with amazement on her career, then signing off with a pledge to “take a deep breath and enjoy my ‘View.’”

But a more telling moment took place during a break, as the throng of women she had paved the way for posed with her for a group portrait. It was a remarkable tableau.

“I have to remember this on the bad days,” Walters said quietly, “because this is the best.”

Dolly talks Miley, staying true to self

BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As Miley Cyrus’ godmother, Dolly Parton has spent a lot of time answering reporters’ questions about the Hannah Montana actress turned pop ingenue as she promotes her new album, “Blue Smoke,” out this week.

Though she says she worries about Cyrus as if she were her own child, she supports the sometimes shocking decisions her goddaughter has made as she moved from child star to a confident — and complicated — young woman.

“I’ll never say anything bad about Miley ‘cause I know she’s smart,” Parton said. “And I know she’s talented. And I know she’s had to go to drastic measures to try to make her point: ‘Leave

me alone. I am not Hannah Montana anymore. I want to grow up.’”

The 68-year-old Country Music Hall of Fame member compared Cyrus criticisms to those who chided her when she first came on the scene — a buxom teen with a confident sense of self and style that drew frowns and tsk-tsks from those who expected her to be demure and chaste.

“But I never let that stop me from being the business girl that I was,” Parton said. “I knew my songs were good even if I had been ugly as sin. I felt like I could sing, even if I had been ugly as sin. So I thought, ‘Well, I would have probably chose to look this way even if I had been a waitress.’ I mean, this is my look. I mean, I like a lot of makeup. I like a lot of hair. I like flashy

clothes. I like to show it off. But that’s just who I am.”

Though she never changed her image, Parton managed to get folks to pay attention to her music and skills as an entertainer and businesswoman, and not so much to her wardrobe and makeup.

“Blue Smoke” is her first album in three years. She wrote many of the songs on the album, sings duets with Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers and takes a trip into unlikely territory on covers of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice” and Bon Jovi’s “Lay Your Hands on Me,” which she gives a Sunday-morning flavor.

She recently announced hundreds of millions of dollars in business investments and will tour the world this year.

Review: ‘Xscape’ a mixed bag for Jackson fans Associated Press

Michael Jackson was such a perfectionist about his music that he was notorious for releasing albums on a painfully slow timeline: His last album of new music was 2001’s “Invincible” — eight years before his death — and that record was a six-year wait for Jackson’s fans.

His estate is less discerning when it comes to his music. There are now two albums that have been released under Jackson’s moniker since his untimely 2009 passing —

2010’s “Michael” and now “Xscape.”

Like “Michael,” this latest posthumous release is a compilation of Jackson outtakes that includes material from decades ago, so there’s already a dated feel to much of the album, despite the wizardry and production under the helm of Epic Records CEO L.A. Reid, who worked with Jackson for one of the tracks.

But that doesn’t necessarily negate the music, and some of the most enjoyable songs are the old-

est: The first single, “Love Never Felt So Good” is infectious and irresistible, with Jackson’s youthfulsounding falsetto sounding like it is gliding. It was recorded in 1983.

Things start to falter a bit with “A Place With No Name,” which has the same beat and sound as “Leave Me Alone” from the “Bad” era and is lyrically weak: We can tell why Jackson left it on the cutting room floor. And it’s a sentiment that most will share for about half of the eight-track album.
