One critical, another Investigators seeking answers jailed after stabbing BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A Corinth man was seriously injured in a stabbing Tuesday night, and a suspect has been charged. Detective Del Green said the Corinth Police Department responded to a call of a stabbing at about 8:20 p.m. at the Wilson Street Apartments. Officers found the victim, Michael
Decker, with a wound to the upper left side of the abdomen. Charged with aggravated assault in the stabbing is Jeremy Jerome Walker, 28, of 16 Wilson Street, Apt. 3. He was in custody Wednesday afternoon with bond at $10,000. Green said the suspect left the scene in a Ford Expedition, and the knife believed to be used in the assault was found
in home deaths
in an overgrown lot on the east side of the apartment complex. Officers stopped the suspect’s vehicle near South Parkway and Proper Street. The suspect had bloodstained clothing and was taken into custody without incident, Green said. The victim was in critical condition at Magnolia Regional Health Center early Wednesday, he said.

A gruesome discovery of two bodies Tuesday morning in a trailer has left law officers in McNairy County searching for the next of kin of the deceased and looking for answers. An alert postal carrier in Bethel Springs noticed the mail had backed up and the yard had not been tended to lately at the Murray School Road house of Neil Dunn, 84, and Milly Dunn, 91. The mail carrier contacted the McNairy County Sheriff’s Department, and Sheriff Guy Buck was the first one to respond to the scene. The sheriff gained entry into the rear of the home, which had been secured prior to his arrival. “I’ve never seen anything like this situation with a double natural death,” said Buck. “The TBI told me they had worked a similar situation with a mother (caregiver) and her son, but it was a first for me.” Buck said Neil Dunn’s death has been estimated to have happened around the first half of April and Milly Dunn’s death happened over two weeks ago. The sheriff is unsure whether the two were married or brother and sister. A search for family members of the two people had come up empty as of mid-afternoon Wednesday, according to the sheriff.

Students honor fallen classmate BY KIM SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Graduation is bittersweet this year as the Kossuth High School class of 2015 prepares for a traditional rite of passage, remembering all the while that one other senior should be walking with them. Described as a well-rounded young man with a gentle heart and promising future, Ben Shipman’s life was tragically cut short in March of 2014 after injuries he sustained in an automobile accident on his way
home from school resulted in his death. A member of the Kossuth Aggies High School band since the 8th grade, the talented drum major was ranked second in his junior class and is remembered for his many hours of community service and dedication to his band. The 17-year-old was recently honored along with 11-year-old Andrew Loyd during the planting of two October Glories dedicated to their memories. Both boys were honored in separate

The Corinth School District is getting a large grant designed to produce betterbehaved students. The district’s trustees on Monday accepted an Elementary and Secondary Counseling Grant of $932,698 for a three-year program from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant program is aimed at helping schools establish and expand counseling programs. The Corinth School District will focus specifically on improving student behavior and reducing the amount of time teachers spend on disciplinary issues at the elementary school level. “That’s where it really needs to begin with a focus on positive behavior intervention,” said Superintendent Lee Childress. The funding will allow teachers to get positive behavior intervention training and provide an additional counselor and the addition of several types of curriculums. Middle school teachers and counselors will also have some involvement. The board also accepted an

District boosts graduation requirements BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
The number of required class credits for county students will increase for the 2015-16 school year. Alcorn School District Board of Education members voted recently to raise the number of Carnegie units required for graduation from 25 to 27 credits. “After several meetings with principals, we decided that because of the amount of units students are bringing with them from middle school we felt that it would not be too difficult for students to obtain 27 credits in the least bit,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. The new requirements will take effect with the incoming group of freshman in August.
In other news: ■ Finance Director Kimberly Woodard brought some good news to the board meeting. “I am estimating the district will spend about $70,000 less in gas and diesel costs this year when compared to last years fuel expenses,” she said. “That is great savings for the entire district.” Woodard also reported April fuel numbers. “We purchased 500 gallons of gas at an average of $1.97 per gallon and 9,100 gallons of diesel at an average of $2.15 per gallon for a total cost of $20,543,” the finance director said. ■ The board received three bids submitted by local banks for the school district’s depository for the years 2015-18.
Buck said the law officers checked the home to make sure no one else was inside and then began a death investigation. The district attorney’s office and medical examiner Dr. Drew Eason were contacted by his department. The sheriff said early thoughts were that Milly Dunn suffered from dementia or Alzheimer’s and did not know what to do when Neil Dunn died. “It did appear that she had tried to take care of him after his death,” said Buck. “It was hard to tell much because their bodies were both in an advanced state of decomposition.” Sheriff Buck said through an ID found in the house that Neil Dunn had worked in the City of Memphis Schools System in some capacity for 28 years before retiring. The sheriff’s search for answers discovered that Milly Dunn had lived in Arizona at some point from identification found in the home. Both bodies were sent to Memphis for an autopsy by a state medical examiner. The sheriff expects a preliminary autopsy report within 10 days and a complete autopsy report would not be completed for three months. Buck said he did not know what would happen to the deceased after the autopsy if no relatives are found during the investigation.
“We have been with Trustmark Bank and even though their interest rates aren’t great, I believe it would be in our best interest to continue using their services,” said Woodard. “The interest rates at the other banks were a little better, but the fees they were going to charge us would not have made much difference.” The district also received bids from Bancorp South and Farmers and Merchants Bank. ■ Two donations were approved. Kossuth Middle School will receive a $500 donation from Modern Woodmen and a $717.30 donation from the Box Tops for Education. The next meeting is set for June 8 at 5 p.m.
Innovative High School Grant of $112,525 from the Mississippi Department of Education in support of the Cambridge program and a $5,000 grant to provide additional laptops and instructional materials at the Juvenile Detention Center. In other business, Childress updated the board on the results of the Third Grade Reading Summative Assessment, which 95 percent of the district’s students passed. While local students fared well, he wants parents to keep in mind that a passing score on this test does not necessarily mean the student is a proficient reader. “It means they just met what the state established as the third grade benchmark saying they were ready to do the majority of fourth grade work,” said Childress. “We won’t get scores back to know a true proficiency level until we get the PARCC testing back. While yes, these are good results, we are interested in proficiency.” Retesting for those who did not pass the reading assessment was on Wednesday. Students must pass the assessment in order to be promoted to fourth grade.

Aruba officials chase another false Holloway tip Associated Press
ORANJESTAD, Aruba — Aruba prosecutors said Wednesday that yet another tip about the location of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway’s body turned out to be false. Authorities said they had received a tip from a man who previously claimed to be a witness to Holloway’s disappearance on May 30, 2005. The man, identified as Jurrien de Jong,
insisted that Holloway was buried under a staircase of the Marriott Hotel in Aruba, prosecutors said. They said his claims led chief prosecutor Eric Olthof to ask that Aruba police contact Marriott’s management office in Orlando, Florida, to determine when the hotel’s Spyglass Tower and its staircase was built. Marriott officials said neither the tower nor its
staircase had been built when Holloway disappeared, prosecutors said. “This means that Natalee Holloway could never have been hidden and/or buried there,� officials said in a statement. “This leads to the conclusion that the claims made by Mr. De Jong ... cannot be correct, and that his testimony ... does not add to the solving of this case.�
Holloway was on a high school graduation trip when she vanished. The 18-year-old from Alabama was last seen leaving a bar with Joran van der Sloot, a Dutchman raised in Aruba who is the chief suspect in her disappearance. Van der Sloot later pleaded guilty to the 2010 murder of a woman in Peru killed five years to the day after Holloway disappeared.
DEA wrapping up prescription drug crackdown Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Federal drug agents raided medical clinics, pharmacies and other locations across the South on Wednesday, wrapping up what a federal official called a long-running crackdown on prescription drug abuse. The early morning raids in Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi were the final stage of an operation
launched last summer by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s drug diversion unit, a senior DEA official said ahead of the raids, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to describe details of the investigation before a public announcement set for later in the day. Before Wednesday’s raids, 140 people had been arrested and agents

expected to make 170 more arrests, the official said. Suspects in the DEA’s “Operation Pilluted� include doctors and pharmacists, the official said. The crackdown is focused on the illegal sale of painkillers, including the powerful opioids oxycodone and hydrocodone. DEA agents in Arkansas raided a medical clinic Wednesday morning within sight of its local office, detaining six, and also swept into a pharmacy a mile away. One worker at the Bowman Curve Pharmacy in Little Rock was handcuffed and taken away by a city policeman assisting in the raids, while DEA took in cardboard boxes in their search for evidence. The KJ Medical Clinic
was often protected by a security guard while another employee was often stationed outside to direct traffic when patients start showing up around 6:45 each morning. Six people were taken away by police — one uniformed guard and another man identified as security personnel, two nurses, a doctor and a man identified as the office manager. The doctor, asked if he was selling pills illegally, told reporters, “No.� In Mobile, Alabama, agents are targeting two doctors accused of running multiple pain clinics, the official said. The DEA official said 24 doctors, pharmacies and others have surrendered their DEA registration numbers as part of the ongoing crackdown.

Mayor engaged to beauty queen medical student Associated Press
TUPELO — Tupelo’s mayor is engaged to a beauty queen and medical student. Mayor Jason Shelton’s romance with former Miss Mississippi Chelsea Rick began when he tweeted a message asking residents of Tupelo and North Mississippi to support her in the 2013 Miss Mississippi competition. Rick, a William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Hattiesburg, said she had followed the mayoral race. “I was pretty excited because here was the new, young Democratic mayor in Tupelo tweeting me,� she told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, laughing. “After I got crowned, I thought he would be a good person to go and meet with because I wanted to be proactive about a way to give back to Northeast Mississippi.� She said that since Shelton is a lawyer, she’d expected him to be pompous and arrogant. “But he was just the opposite,� she said. “He was so warm and so humble and really listened to some of the things I wanted to do in that area. He didn’t treat me like just another pageant girl.� Shelton was also im-

pressed. “She’s obviously a beautiful girl and really just takes your breath away when she walks into a room, but I was really surprised with how easy she was to talk to and how passionate she was about giving back to the community,� Shelton said. “To me it was so impressive to see this medical student and Miss Mississippi being truly passionate about some of the causes she’s advocating for.� They kept in touch on a professional basis for about six months. Shelton says she knew before their first kiss that he was the man for her. He proposed May 9, in the City Hall rose garden that Rick describes as “possibly where our first kiss took place.� Rick said she wasn’t entirely surprised by the proposal, but didn’t expect it then and there. “I’m usually really good about picking up on stuff like that because despite Jason being a lawyer and a politician, he’s a terrible liar,� she said. “But I had been in exams all week and just didn’t pick up on any clues or hints.� Rick will move back to the area in the fall to begin her clinical rotations at North Mississippi Medical Center.

uncertainty. Alexander said TVA should focus on nuclear power generation instead of what he called the latest “fad.� The senators also questioned why the TVA is considering buying electricity generated by wind farms in the Midwest. “I think our ratepayers and our jobs are better served when TVA sticks to its mission of low-cost power instead of chasing the latest energy fad ...,� he said.

Across the Region Grant could boost downtown Booneville BOONEVILLE — A major grant approved last week could pave the way for significant improvements in downtown Booneville. The city was approved last week for up to $750,000 in funding from the Transportation Alternative Program, a federal grant program administered through the Mississippi Department of Transportation. Mayor Derrick Blythe said the funds are earmarked for at six key intersections downtown around the block including Main, Church, College and Market streets and the Triangle. Work will include Americans with Disabilities Act compliant ramps to provide better access to sidewalks, along with new planters, light posts and other improvements. The intersections will feature bulb-outs similar to those in downtown Corinth to make it safer for pedestrians, explained engineer Matthew Estes with Cook-Coggin Engineers. Estes said the TAP grant program is aimed at improving pedestrian safety and access for those with disabilities, so all improvements must provide a benefit in these areas.
He noted the grant requires a 20 percent match from the city for any funds received. While the city has been approved for up to $750,000, the actual amount received will depend on the amount of matching funds the city agrees to provide.

King to be laid to rest next week in Mississippi Delta BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — The body of blues legend B.B. King will return next week to the Mississippi Delta where his life and career began. His body will be flown on Wednesday to Memphis, Tennessee, the place where a young King was nicknamed the Beale Street Blues Boy. It is expected to arrive at the airport at about noon, and will be driven in a procession to Handy Park on Beale Street, where a tribute will be held that day. After that, King’s body will be driven to Indianola, Mississippi, which King considered his hometown.
A public viewing will be from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. May 29 at the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in Indianola, and the funeral will be at 11 a.m. May 30 at the nearby Bell Grove Missionary Baptist Church, the museum announced Wednesday. The 15-time Grammy winner will be buried later that day in a private ceremony at the museum, which King helped develop. “From a practical standpoint, we feel comfortable knowing his final resting place will receive perpetual care at the museum,” the facility’s director, Dion Brown, said in a written statement Wednesday. In Las Vegas, where King died
May 14 at age 89, a public viewing will be held 3-7 p.m. Friday at Palm Mortuary West. Visitors will be able pass King’s open casket, but there won’t be seating or a memorial service during the viewing, mortuary manager Matthew Phillips said. A private service for relatives will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the larger downtown Palm Mortuary chapel The famed guitarist and singer was married twice and had 15 natural and adopted children.

a few years later, and then his grandmother died, leaving him living alone in a cabin and sharecropping an acre of cotton when he was 14. After living in several small communities in Mississippi, he moved to Indianola, where he first gained attention for his musical talents. He moved to Memphis, Tennessee, when he was in his 20s, and that’s where a radio station manager dubbed him the Beale Street Blues Boy. That was shortened to B.B., and the nickname stuck. King went on to international fame playing electric blues guitar that influenced generations of blues and rock musicians.

Corinth, Miss.
‘Just asking’ In a recent panel discussion on poverty at Georgetown University, President Barack Obama gave another demonstration of his mastery of rhetoric – and disregard of reality. One of the ways of fighting poverty, he proposed, was to “ask from society’s lottery winners” that they make a “modest investment” in government programs to help the poor. Since free speech is guaranteed to everyone by the First Amendment to the Constitution, there is nothing to prevent anybody from asking Thomas anything from anybody else. Sowell But the federal government Columnist does not just “ask” for money. It takes the money it wants in taxes, usually before the people who have earned it see their paychecks. Despite pious rhetoric on the left about “asking” the more fortunate for more money, the government does not “ask” anything. It seizes what it wants by force. If you don’t pay up, it can take not only your paycheck, it can seize your bank account, put a lien on your home and/or put you in federal prison. So please don’t insult our intelligence by talking piously about “asking.” And please don’t call the government’s pouring trillions of tax dollars down a bottomless pit “investment.” Remember the soaring words from Barack Obama, in his early days in the White House, about “investing in the industries of the future”? After Solyndra and other companies in which he “invested” the taxpayers’ money went bankrupt, we haven’t heard those soaring words so much. Was Bill Gates a lottery winner? Or did he produce and sell a computer operating system that allows billions of people around the world to use computers, without knowing anything about the inner workings of this complex technology? Was Henry Ford a lottery winner? Or did he revolutionize the production of automobiles, bringing the price down to the point where cars were no longer luxuries of the rich but vehicles that millions of ordinary people could afford, greatly expanding the scope of their lives? Most people who want to redistribute wealth don’t want to talk about how that wealth was produced in the first place. They just want “the rich” to pay their undefined “fair share” of taxes. This “fair share” must remain undefined because all it really means is “more.” Once you have defined it – whether at 30 percent, 60 percent or 90 percent – you wouldn’t be able to come back for more. Obama goes further than other income redistributionists. “You didn’t build that!” he declared to those who did. Why? Because those who created additions to the world’s wealth used government-built roads or other government-provided services to market their products. And who paid for those roads and other government-provided services if not the taxpayers? The fact that most of the rhetorical ploys used by Barack Obama and other redistributionists will not stand up under scrutiny means very little politically. After all, how many people who come out of our schools and colleges today are capable of critical scrutiny? When all else fails, redistributionists can say, as Obama did at Georgetown University, that “coldhearted, free-market capitalist types” are people who “pretty much have more than you’ll ever be able to use and your family will ever be able to use,” so they should let the government take that extra money to help the poor. Slippery use of the word “use” seems to confine it to personal consumption. The real question is whether the investment of wealth is likely to be done better by those who created that wealth in the first place or by politicians. The track record of politicians hardly suggests that turning ever more of a nation’s wealth over to them is likely to turn out well. It certainly has not turned out well in the American economy under Barack Obama.

Prayer for today Gracious Lord, I rejoice that thou dost know the depths of my soul, and that I may call upon thee to supply its needs. Make me worthy that I may not be kept from the springs of joy where my soul may be refreshed, and where I may gather hope and encouragement for the greater loves of life. Amen.

Does Rubio have that Reagan magic? Two new polls are showing a decisive bounce in the presidential run by Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio. In an Economist/YouGov poll taken May 9-11, among the six announced Republican candidates at that time, Rubio is first, with 29 percent of registered Republicans expressing preference for him. Second is Mike Huckabee at 16 percent. In match-ups against Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, 52 percent pick Rubio against 25 percent for Bush, and 42 percent pick Rubio against 32 percent for Walker. In an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted April 26-30, Rubio finished at the top of the Republican field, with 74 percent saying they could see themselves supporting him, and Bush finished second at 70 percent. Of course, it is very early in the game. But it is noteworthy that this young firstterm senator is lighting some kind of fire. Rubio seems to be harnessing the same kind of charisma that brought him into the Florida House of Representatives at age 28, becoming majority leader at 32, House speaker at 35,
and then, at age 38, upsetting Republican Gov. Charlie Crist to capture the Star Republican Parker nomination for the open Columnist Florida Senate seat and winning the general election. I first wrote about Rubio after the new senator gave an electrifying speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in 2011. Rubio said things I liked very much. He said free enterprise creates prosperity, not poverty, and that there are those who remain poor “because something in their lives or in their community has denied them access to the free enterprise system.” He said that “poverty does not create our social problems; our social problems create our poverty.” And he spoke in a principled but compassionate manner about how we lost our way regarding the proper role of government. “As government crowded out the (traditional) institutions in our society ... it weakened our people in a
way that undermined our ability to maintain our prosperity.” On foreign policy, Rubio made a point of critical importance. Talking about the defeat of communism under Reagan, he said that Reagan knew its fall was inevitable, but that America had an obligation to accelerate that fall and “all we had to do was be America.” With all the back and forth today about our nation’s role in the world, this central point is being lost. The best way to defeat what is wrong is to be what is right. America is losing ground in the world today because it is not being America. Everyone knows that big mistakes were made in Iraq. But reducing complicated questions to simple “yes” or “no” sound bites is ridiculous. What is most important is that the central and critical issue driving America’s global presence be in focus. America’s founding was based on claims to universal rights. So along with this we must accept universal responsibilities. But if we can’t capture our core values and principles at home, how can we possibly do it
abroad? Some are down on Rubio because he supported comprehensive immigration reform and then seemed to back off. But Rubio is clear that he has not changed his mind. He just sees that dealing with the components of this issue sequentially rather than comprehensively is the only politically feasible approach. Perhaps today it takes an American whose parents escaped tyranny abroad in pursuit of American freedom to appreciate firsthand the meaning of the words on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” The failure of our immigration policy is in Washington, and that is where it needs to be fixed. For sure, America today is off course and badly in need of leadership. Perhaps Rubio’s almost Reaganesque mix of genuine idealism and political realism is what is creating interest and excitement.

Danger for law enforcement officers never far away OXFORD — When they cranked their patrol cars to start their shifts on the Saturday night before Mother’s Day, Hattiesburg policemen Benjamin Deen and Liquori Tate knew he was out there. Officers hope and pray for routine shifts. But in the tiniest towns in America and in the biggest cities, they know they are entering minefields. They know there are human time bombs out there — mentally broken or hopped up on drugs or alcohol or mad at the world or bursting with testosterone. Often some of each. They’re determined to release their anger on somebody. Often somebody innocent. Too often somebody in uniform. Officers also know their actions will be judged harshly. If they guess wrong or panic or make a mistake, the nation will pounce. We get to second-guess. They don’t. Bless the judges, corrections workers, parole boards and even the people who draft and pass sentencing laws. They try. If they get it right, a firsttime transgressor will mend his ways after time behind bars. If they get it wrong, more people become victims and suffer at the hands of those who continue to opt out of basic human decency.

Hattiesburg went into mourning, as did all of Mississippi, after Deen, 34, Charlie and Tate, 25, Mitchell were gunned down. Columnist The person believed to be guilty, Marvin Banks, is 29. Indications are that he fired one shot from a .40 caliber handgun into Tate’s face and another Deen’s back. Both bled to death, becoming 43rd and 44th officers to die on duty in America this year, the third and fourth in Mississippi. Banks, whose brother and a smattering of others at the scene were charged with related offenses, was a veteran of “the system.” In 2010, he admitted possession of a stolen gun, served nearly a year and was set free. Records show he violated release terms and was sent back to prison. When stopped by Deen, Banks’ felony charges included both possession and sale of controlled substances, and there was an outstanding warrant. America spends a lot of time pondering the issues that society decides are pressing. For some reason, recidivism — the 50-cent word that describes those for whom intermittent incarceration becomes a life-
style — is not one of them. Perhaps this is because answers are so elusive. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported last year on a study performed on 405,000 inmates released in 30 states in 2005. Within three years, 68 percent were charged with additional crimes. Within five years, 77 percent were facing a return to prison. That’s more than three out of four. And we’re not talking single arrests on single charges. The five-year total of new charges was 1.2 million — about three new felonies each. The bright side was this: The longer a person stayed out of prison, the less likely he or she would commit new crimes. To be specific, 43 percent of the released prisoners were rearrested within a year, but only 13 percent of those not rearrested during the four years after release were arrested in the fifth year. This speaks well of reforms enacted by the Mississippi Legislature in 2014. New tactics based on a private study showed how post-release options could be tweaked. The goal is to reduce wear on the spinning turnstile at Parchman. It will take a few years to see if those changes prove worthwhile, at least in statistical tallies. One aspect of the study revealed that prison be-

came a repeat destination for so many because it was the one place in their lives there was “structure.” Whatever. Nobody in Hattiesburg is interested in statistics or analysis. Banks’ mother was on television, very distraught. Sympathy, however, is better directed at the families, friends and coworkers of Deen and Tate. Their deaths, apparently at the hands of a jobless druggie with a nice ride, custom wheels and a big gun, were, sadly, foreseeable. Banks’ mom, who worked the night shift at a nursing home, said she tried everything she knew to raise him right. His prison time could have turned his life around if he was smart. But he wasn’t smart. He was a time bomb. His day in court is pending, but he apparently chose, in the vernacular, to remain a thug — maybe to be proud of it. All we are left to do is wish there had been a way to know he was determined to destroy his own life and, more importantly, that he cared nothing about the lives of others. And be grateful there are those who, like Deen and Tate, knew he was out there — and went to work anyway. (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo. com.)

Chief: No excuse for misplaced guns WASHINGTON — The chief of the Capitol Police said Wednesday there is no excuse for officers accidentally leaving their guns in the Capitol’s public bathrooms, as they have done three times this year. One was found by a child. Police Chief Kim Dine told a congressional committee the officers were being disciplined, though he didn’t name the officers. Dine said a first-time offender would typically be suspended for at least five days. Dine said he is considering increasing the minimum penalty to a 30-day suspension for a first offense, and termination for a subsequent violation. Rep. Robert Brady of Pennsylvania said the lost guns and other incidents have him questioning the leadership of the police force.
First lady shows arm-toning secret WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama is finally showing how she keeps her arms so toned. The first lady skips rope, does abdominal crunches with a weighted ball and jumps on and off a bench in a new White House video. She also does chest presses holding 35-pound dumbbells and kick boxes. The video is part of Mrs. Obama’s fifth anniversary celebration of her “Let’s Move” initiative against childhood obesity. She’s been asking the public to use social media to tell her what five things they do to stay healthy. President Barack Obama released video of his five things and he challenged her to do the same.

California oil slicks extend for 9 miles
Obama eyes deniers of climate change
GOLETA, Calif. — Slicks of oil that spilled into California coastal waters from an onshore pipeline spanned a total of 9 miles Wednesday, and a company official said the line was operating at full capacity when it broke, suggesting much more oil escaped than initially estimated. The oil that spilled Tuesday off southern Santa Barbara County formed two slicks, said Coast Guard Capt. Jennifer Williams, one of two federal response coordinators. Before a morning flyover, the oil was estimated to span 4 miles of ocean. The spill from a Plains All American Pipeline LP pipe was initially estimated at 21,000 gallons, but officials were not relying on that. Company official Darren Palmer said Wednesday it remained unknown how much oil actually spilled. But he said the pipeline was running at a rate of 2,000 barrels an hour — equivalent to 84,000 gallons. The pipe was built in 1991 and underwent integrity testing a few weeks ago, he said. Palmer said the company took responsibility for the spill and would pay for the cleanup. Workers from an environmental cleanup company strapped on boots and gloves and picked up shovels and rakes Wednesday to tackle the gobs of goo stuck to sand and rocks along Refugio State Beach. The rupture happened on the same stretch of coastline as a 1969 spill that was the largest ever in U.S. waters at the time and is credited with giving rise to the American environmental movement.
NEW LONDON, Conn. — President Barack Obama says climate change deniers are endangering national security.

2nd rape defendant seeking mistrial NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Defense attorneys for a second former Vanderbilt football player who was convicted in the dorm room rape of a student are asking a judge to declare a mistrial in the case. Judge Monte Watkins received a motion late Tuesday from lawyers representing Cory Batey. Lawyers representing Brandon Vandenburg filed a similar motion last week, claiming a juror in the trial intentionally withheld information that he was a rape victim during the jury selection process. The lawyers say the juror was biased in his verdict. A Nashville jury convicted both men in January of multiple counts of aggravated rape and sexual battery for the June 2013 campus assault of an unconscious
Inmate’s wife: Some bikers are innocent WACO, Texas — Bullets ricocheted around the parking lot of Twin Peaks, the Waco restaurant where a motorcycle gang shootout left nine dead, just minutes after Theron Rhoten pulled in on his vintage Harley chopper for a regional motorcycle club meeting, according to Rhoten’s wife. Katie Rhoten told The Associated Press that her husband ran for cover and was later arrested, along with antique motorcycle enthusiast friends and other “nonviolent, noncriminal people.” Authorities swept up around 170 bikers who had descended on the restaurant for what one club member described as a gathering to discuss laws protecting motorcycle riders. “He’s good to his family,” she said. “He doesn’t drink; he doesn’t do drugs; he doesn’t party. He’s just got a passion for motorcycles.” McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara and Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton declined to comment Tuesday on allegations that innocent bikers were arrested. Police have said the gathering of five biker groups was to resolve a dispute over turf. Katie Rhoten said her husband, a mechanic from Austin, called her from jail and said that he and two other members of Vise Grip Club ducked and ran for cover as the violence that left 18 people injured raged around them.

Lawyers seek school consolidation GREENVILLE — Testifying for the federal government, a Vanderbilt University professor says the Cleveland school district’s desegregation proposals are insufficient to entice white students to enroll at the city’s historically black high school and middle school. Claire Smrekar told U.S. District Judge Debra Brown Wednesday that advanced programs proposed by the district for East Side High School are unlikely to attract enough white students to truly desegregate the school. The U.S. Department of Justice wants Brown to order Cleveland to consolidate its middle and high schools. A previous court ruling found Cleveland hasn’t done enough to integrate. Witnesses with the Cleveland school district have told Brown that she should rely on voluntary measures to encourage white enrollment, predicting mandatory consolidation will cause the white minority in the 3,800-student district to flee.
1 killed, 1 arrested after lake collision BRANDON — The Rankin County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a personal watercraft that left one dead and one in custody. According to local media reports, 29-year-old Bryan James Bessonette of Pearl was killed Tuesday when two jet skis collided on a lake in the Robinhood community of Rankin County. Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said the accident was called in at 6:18 p.m. Tuesday. Bailey says the driver of the other jet ski, 36-year-old John Craig Simpson of Florence, is charged with culpable negligence manslaughter. It is not clear if Simpson has a lawyer. Bailey says the accident remains under investigation.
Man accused of explicit child video BILOX — A Biloxi man is accused in a federal criminal complaint of using a small body camera to shoot videos of a minor girl engaged in sexually-explicit activity. The Sun Herald reports 42-year-old Ruben RalphJames Masters was taken into custody Monday on a federal charge of sexual exploration. Police say Masters was arrested May 9 on a charge of touching a child for lustful purposes. During a search by the Department of Homeland Security Investigation, authorities recovered a small digital body camera. Police say a written complaint accused Masters of having videos of the minor getting in and out of the shower. Masters later told authorities he’d uploaded the sexually-explicit videos to a desktop computer at his home.

Morris, Laporte and a third defendant, Brittany Spikes, are facing 57 counts each of conspiracy to possess, distribute and dispense a controlled substance outside of the scope of a professional practice. Spikes is free on a $25,000 bond. Her trial is set for July 6.

James Douglas McKnight was sentenced to life without parole after being convicted of murder in Pike County in 2013. The Appeals Court on Tuesday denied McKnight’s arguments on 17 issues raised in his appeal to win a new trial. Prosecutors say Witherspoon died after being shot four times as he ran from James McKnight’s vehicle. They say McKnight was looking for his son and he thought Witherspoon knew his whereabouts Prosecutors say Barbara McKnight was driving the vehicle carrying her husband James McKnight, Hill and Witherspoon.

WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials have released more than 100 documents seized in the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, including a loving letter to his wife and a job application for his terrorist network. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence says the papers were taken in the Navy SEALs raid that killed bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011. One of the documents, translated by intelligence officials, begins with questions similar to a conventional job application: “Do you have hobbies? Have you been convicted of a crime?” But it veers into more chilling territory, asking: “What objectives would you like to accomplish on your jihad path?” It then asks: “Do you wish to execute a suicide operation?” The document ends

Parks’ kin reflects on collection BY STACY A. ANDERSON Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The family of civil rights activist Rosa Parks viewed some of her personal memorabilia for the first time Wednesday, and expressed relief that her belongings finally have a safe home at the Library of Congress. Parks’ relatives viewed about 200 items from a collection on loan to the Library of Congress, which is the country’s oldest cultural institution and serves as the research arm for Congress. A protracted legal battle between Parks’ family and caregivers had kept the collection in an archive warehouse away from public view for years. It was purchased last year by a charitable
foundation run by Howard Buffett, son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett. The library has thousands of Parks’ personal items, but currently is displaying just a few through September in the “The Civil Rights Act of 1964” exhibit. Documents and items from the collection will be digitized to be made available online. The family pored over items including black and white photographs, letters, personal notes, a pocket Bible, a certificate for a Presidential Medal of Freedom and a copy of the novel “Roots” with an inscription from author Alex Haley. “I was pleased that it would go to a place where students and the public could view it, take
from it and learn something from it, from her, from her humility,” said Parks’ niece, Sheila Keys of Northville, Michigan. “The public will gain some knowledge, some insight into the wisdom of this woman.” Keys was most excited to see her aunt’s family Bible, which contains the McCauley family’s lineage. Rosa Parks’ maiden name was McCauley. Broderick Carnes, 28, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, said the items give visitors a chance to “uncover some more of the history” about his great aunt. “Even though Rosa Parks was an icon, she was still a normal person,” Carnes said. “She worked hard just like everyone else. And anyone can achieve the things that she achieved, and
make a change the way that she made a change.” Following the private tour of the pieces, family members discussed their book “Our Auntie Rosa.” The book, released in January, reflects on the personal side of the civil rights icon, who died in 2005 at age 92. “When she passed, there were just these large, epic funerals and we— as a private family— never got to grieve her loss,” Keys said. “We decided to put our memories down, share our photos,” she added. Parks is a beloved figure in American history for her civil disobedience on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. That defining moment in 1955 triggered a yearlong bus boycott that helped dismantle formal segregation.
Panel votes to repeal country-origin meat labels BY MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A House committee has voted to get rid of labels on packages of meat that say where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered. The House Agriculture Committee voted 38-6 to repeal a “country-oforigin” labeling law for beef, pork and chicken Wednesday — just two days after the World Trade Organization ruled against parts of the law. The labels tell consumers what countries the meat is from: for example, “born in Canada, raised and slaughtered in the United States” or “born, raised and slaughtered in the United States.” The WTO ruled Monday that the U.S. labels put Canadian and Mexican livestock at a disadvantage, rejecting a U.S. appeal after a similar WTO decision last year. The Obama administration had already revised the labels once to try to comply with previous WTO rulings. Ag-
riculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has said it’s now up to Congress to change the law to avoid retaliation — such as extra tariffs — from the two neighbor countries. The law was initially written at the behest of northern U.S. ranchers who compete with the Canadian cattle industry. It also was backed by some consumer advocates who say it helps shoppers know where their food comes from. The supporters have called on the U.S. government to negotiate with Canada and Mexico to find labels acceptable to all countries. But many in the U.S. meat industry — including meat processors who buy animals from abroad — have called for a repeal of the law, which they have fought for years, including unsuccessfully in federal court. House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway, R-Texas, has long backed the meat industry’s call for repeal. Along with several of his colleagues, he
introduced the legislation to repeal the labeling requirements hours after the WTO decision. He said the bill is a “targeted” response. “We cannot sit back and let American businesses be held hostage to the desires of a small minority who refuse to acknowledge that the battle is lost,” Conaway said. All but six of the committee’s Democrats supported the bill. Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the panel’s top Democrat and a longtime supporter of the labeling, was one of the few to vote against it. He said there is still time to find a “workable North American solution.” The bill would go beyond just the muscle cuts of red meat that were covered under the WTO case, also repealing country-of-origin labeling for poultry, ground beef and ground pork. Conaway said the poultry industry asked to be included after facing “high costs and little if any quantifiable benefits” from the labeling law. The legislation would
leave in place country of origin labeling requirements for several other commodities, including lamb, venison, seafood, fruits and vegetables and some nuts. Canada and Mexico have called for repeal of the law and said they would seek authorization from the WTO to take retaliatory measures against U.S. exports. The law causes their animals to be segregated from those of U.S. origin — a costly process that has forced some U.S. companies to stop buying exports. Congress required the labels in 2002 and 2008 farm laws, mostly at the behest of the northern U.S. ranchers. The original labels were less specific, saying a product was a “product of U.S.” or “product of U.S. and Canada.” WTO rejected those labels in 2012, and USDA tried again with the more detailed labels a year later. The WTO rejected those revised rules last year, and the United States filed one last appeal, rejected Monday by the WTO.
Perceptions of Waco, Baltimore bothering some Associated Press

“FAITH” Faith is at the center of everything we do as Christians, because we have not seen those things of which we are certain, and faith has to do with things that are not seen. Faith is not however, as one philosopher has suggested, “a leap in the dark.” It is not a blind acceptance of ideas or personalities that cannot be verified. God does not ask us to disengage our mind and reasoning ability when we discuss or think about spiritual things. The letter to the Hebrews indicates that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV) Another translation suggests that “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Verse 3 goes on to explain that “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen, were not made of things that do appear.” I can know God and his will for me based on the evidence he has given me. (Romans 1: 19, 20) That same chapter in Hebrews indicates that “without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (verse 6) Not only does this passage tell us of the necessity of faith, and what it is, it shows us that faith must move us to do what God commands. Noah prepared an ark to the saving of his household. (verse 7) Abraham left his home and went to a land God would show him. (verse 8) By faith Sarah conceived and bore a child when she was past the age. (verse 11) Abraham offered up Issac. (verse 17) Moses chose to “suffer affliction with the people of God, “(verse 25) and forsake Egypt (verse 27). Faith holds on to God and his will to the end. The recipients of this letter were letting the word spoken to them “slip away” (Hebrews 2:1), and neglecting salvation (2:3). There is a need for them to “hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.” (3:6) Citing the example of the unbelieving Israelites, the writer admonishes, “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while is is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin” (3:12,13) We, as they, must be faithful to the end. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.

arrests — carried out by nonchalant-looking officers sitting around calm bikers on cellphones. The firefight in Waco is raising questions about perceptions and portrayals of crime in America, considering the vehement reaction that the earlier protests got from police, politicians and some members of the public. Unlike in Ferguson and Baltimore, where protests went on for days, there was no live news coverage of the Waco shootout. And yet the incident at a Texas restaurant hasn’t been used as a bridge to discuss other issues about families, poverty and crime, media critics, columnists and civil rights activists say. They complain that there appears to be little societal concern about the gunplay at a restaurant in Texas, whereas politicians — including President Barack Obama — described violent looters in Baltimore as “thugs,” and the media devoted hours of television and
radio airtime to dissecting social ills that affect the black community. On Twitter, #wacothugs and #whiteonwhitecrime were trending, with columnists around the nation debating the differences. “So the mainstream media refuses to talk The shootout at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco left nine people dead and 18 injured. About 170 bikers have been charged with engaging in organized crime, with bond at $1 million for each suspect. Mug shots show an array of suspects: white, Hispanic, a white woman and a man who looked black. Police said the fight started because a vehicle rolled over a man’s foot. That caused a dispute that continued inside the restaurant, where fighting and then shooting began, before the violence spilled back outside, they said. About 50 weapons were confiscated, mostly knives and firearms. However, police said a final count could show there were more than 100 weapons.

BASE jumper, 73, dies; set parachute on fire for stunt Associated Press
TWIN FALLS, Idaho — A 73-year-old BASE jumper who died after leaping from an Idaho bridge had set his parachute on fire as part of a stunt, authorities say. A graphic video of the fatal jump, posted to YouTube on Monday, shows someone engulfed in flames and falling from the Perrine Bridge into the Snake River, 500 feet below. James E. Hickey, of Claremont, California, had apparently planned to ditch the flaming parachute and deploy a second chute in the May 7 stunt. The initial report from the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Office said only that Hickey’s parachute deployed too late, and the coroner said Hickey died of blunt-force trauma.
Professional BASE jumper Sean Chuma said that he had heard Hickey successfully performed the stunt while skydiving. The video shows two BASE jumpers climbing over the railing of the Perrine Bridge and leaping around the same time. While one jumper glides safely away underneath a parachute, the other becomes engulfed in flames and falls quickly out of view. The video pans back to the river just after the burning jumper hits the water. A boat arrives seconds later, and the video ends. BASE jumping has come under increased scrutiny as at least five people have died in accidents since January, including two last week at Yosemite National Park.

‘Hope Grows’ offers unique perspective on caring Where Hope Grows, PG-13, *****, Kristoffer Polak, Katie Campbell, David DeSancitis, Director Chris Dowling, Road Side Attractions, Godspeed Pictures, Length 95 Minutes. The interesting part of helping others is the simple fact that it is our duty, and Terry it is a great feelBurns ing to help all of those who are in Movie Critic need. Speaking to others along with helping the needy always gives us a feeling of doing the right thing for people. Helping animals gives one a warm feeling also. Helping the misfortunate while we move thru our daily lives gives everyone a
wonderful sensation which will stay with us for a long time. “Where Hope Grows� is an interesting film that gives all of us a reason to be conscious of those who are less fortunate than we are. How many of us when we were growing up wanted to become a professional baseball player. I would say a majority of youngsters. Calvin Campbell (Kristoffer Polak) is a baseball player who had trouble with his ability to remain calm when under the strain of hitting the ball. He lost his professional baseball job, and became an alcoholic. He does not work, but unfortunately, he drinks a lot of beer. Fortunately, he has a wonderful daughter, Katie Campbell (McKaley Miller), but he
ignores her too much. He meets Produce (David DeSanctis), who is mentally challenged. Produce is an extremely friendly individual who enjoys people and he likes to talk to everyone and be sociable. He is a great worker in a grocery store (thus his name Produce), and friendly to all the customers. Anyone would be lucky to have him as an employee and a friend. Unfortunately, Produce has Downsyndrome. The grocery store manager gives one person per month “Employee of the Month.� Produce wants to win that award. Sadly, too many people do not give the mentally challenged a lot of consideration in life. Calvin begins to help Produce learn how to swing a baseball bat and hit the ball. This gives
Biography softens movie tough guy Associated Press
“The Lives of Robert Ryan� (Wesleyan University Press), by J.R. Jones Actor Robert Ryan spent a good deal of his life promoting peace, civil rights and other social causes. In his long film career, he did something more daring: He willingly became the face of the very evils he denounced. In “Crossfire� (1947), Ryan plays a soldier whose hatred of Jews leads to murder. “Bad Day at Black Rock� (1955) casts him as a man who kills a Japanese farmer as revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor. In “Odds Against Tomorrow� (1959), Ryan’s holdup man bridles at the idea of a partner in crime who is black. Ryan garnered critical praise for such roles but not the leading-man status enjoyed by Hollywood’s good guys. “I think he took them because he really believed that he was making a contribution to people’s overall sense of what it was to be a minority or to be discriminated against,� his co-star and friend Harry Belafonte tells “The Lives of Robert Ryan� author J.R. Jones.
Over the course of more than 70 film roles, Ryan played plenty of decent if intense characters, even John the Baptist in “King of Kings� (1961). However, Jones notes, “no matter how many saints Ryan might play, he would always be more intimately acquainted with the serpents.� Jones provides an engaging biography of a Golden Age movie star who was a welcome presence even if — and perhaps particularly when — he lit up the screen with a sneer and filled it with menace. His many lives — stage and television performer, political activist, progressive education proponent, husband and father — are finely detailed by Jones with the help of Ryan’s private writings and those of his wife, Jessica, a novelist. Jones describes a complex man who grappled publicly with the world’s demons and privately with his own, among them alcohol and depression. Robert Ryan (19091973) grew up in Chicago, the son of an Irish father connected to Democratic
machine politics. An only child after his younger brother died of pneumonia at age 5, he was spoiled and smothered by his parents. Their son’s lonely, introverted nature worried them. Long before Ryan discovered the joys of drama, his mother gave him a violin; his father gave him boxing gloves. The gloves proved more valuable. Ryan won heavyweight titles while a student at Dartmouth College and tapped his skills in the ring for his first film, “Golden Gloves� (1940), as he broke into the movies. He used them again to play a doomed fighter in “The Set-Up� (1949), one of the nifty noirs that mark his career in the 1940s and 1950s. Ryan was an outspoken liberal and a supporter of Democratic Party candidates even when the blacklist scared many Hollywood actors into silence. “By all accounts,� Jones writes of Ryan, who died of cancer at age 63, “he was a good man, but often he expressed his goodness by playing evil men — with an alarming relish and conviction.�
Large stuffed tiger on SUV prompts 911 call Associated Press
CAMAS, Wash. — The sight of a stuffed tiger — a very large stuffed tiger — lashed to the top of an SUV cruising around a southwest Washington lake was enough to generate a 911 call from someone who apparently thought it was real. The Columbian newspaper of Vancouver reports
that Connor Zuvich says he was by Lacamas Lake in Camas on Monday with some friends when a truck came by and dumped some trash and the giant tiger. Zuvich tied it to the top of his vehicle, then he and his friends started cruising around the lake in the enhanced SUV. Officer Henry Scott was sent to investigate the ti-
ger 911 call, described by Camas police as an “animal problem.� The 19-year-old Zuvich says he and the officer traded jokes and photos, then parted ways. Other drivers also got the joke, honking and giving him a thumbs-up sign. As Zuvich says, “The thing looked really realistic.�
him lots of encouragement. Produce goes to church, and Calvin drove him to the church, because he was too late to get there on his bicycle. Eventually Calvin and Katie go to church with him. We all have ups and downs through life. With the situations that occurred in this review, I would like to give the reader a positive moment from the famous Frank Sinatra. It is simply called That’s Life – “Riding High in April, Shot down in May, But I know I’m going to change when I’m back on top in June, Each Time I find myself flat on my face I just pick myself up brush myself off and get back in the race.� Sorry to say that we have too much envy and some individuals who are so jealous and want
to pull others down, so they can look good to the boss and others in the group. Crooked politics is subliminal, but we have individuals who enjoy gossiping in order to allow others to know what they have done. The only way some can get attention is to become a backstabber. That is definitely a sick individual. I recommend “Where Hope Grows� for all who enjoy a film that will reach into the heart, and give people the opportunity to help the incapable, unfortunate, and all those that are challenged in their lives. It is a heart warming film that will touch the heart. (Terry Burns is the movie critic for the Daily Corinthian. A five-star rating means don’t miss.)
New museum in hometown celebrates John Wayne’s life BY BARBARA RODRIGUEZ Associated Press
WINTERSET, Iowa — Like many rural communities, the central Iowa city of Winterset has an idyllic town square, variety stores and a historic movie theater. But Winterset also has a unique claim to fame: It’s the birthplace of John Wayne, and a new museum opening here is celebrating the late actor’s life, career and local connections. Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset in 1907. Although he moved to California at a young age, Winterset has been showcasing his local roots for years. In addition to the new museum, the small wooden house where he was born offers tours and there’s a large bronze statue of the actor in his signature cowboy hat. “One of the things that keep a small town alive is to share their history,� said Shirley Roach, owner of a boutique in town that devotes a section to John Wayne merchandise. “John Wayne is a part of our history.� The new 6,100-squarefoot museum officially opens Saturday on the same block as his birthplace. The museum displays his film wardrobes, a signed Andy Warhol print of the actor and his customized 1972 Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon. It’s parked inside the gallery, near decorative wooden panels from the closing barroom fight
“One of the things that keep a small town alive is to share their history. John Wayne is a part of our history.� Shirley Roach Owner of a boutique that devotes a section to John Wayne merchandise scene of Wayne’s final film, “The Shootist.� Visitors can also see an ashtray from his yacht, his briefcase, his personal address book — with contact information for Ronald Reagan when he was the California governor — and the eye patch Wayne wore in the movie “True Grit.� Brian Downes, executive director of the $2.5 million museum, said the museum was built partly because tours of his childhood home were not enough to satisfy his fans. Long lines at the house meant the tours “could only be 20 minutes long,� he said. “There was a frustration there ... It was really time to step up.� Wayne, who was nicknamed the Duke, died in 1979. The museum was funded over seven years through grants and private donations, including door-to-door pledges from residents of Winterset, population 5,000. “It was a dream for a little town to accomplish something like this,� Downes said. Bill Ward, 59, of Rockford, Illinois, visited the museum with his wife during a soft opening this month. “He’s part
of my youth,� Ward said. “When you think of John Wayne, he’s an American. He loved America.� Not all museums about 20th century celebrities remain successful. The Jimmy Stewart Museum in Indiana, Pennsylvania, has seen a decrease in attendees and financial support over the years. A museum dedicated to Liberace closed in 2010 near Las Vegas after more than 30 years in business. But Ruth Reed, a tour guide for Wayne’s birthplace, said the Duke has staying power. Over the years, she’s welcomed visitors from around the world. A recent Friday included visitors from Florida, Ireland, New Zealand and Puerto Rico. “He’s still one of the top 10 movie stars in people’s memories,� she said. “Who do we have today that has anything that you’d even care to honor?� The general $15 ticket to the museum includes a tour of Wayne’s birthplace, which has been restored to its appearance when Wayne lived there. The museum also suggests a trail of spots near and around town linked to Wayne’s family.

Economic indicator The April index of leading indicators is expected to be unchanged from the previous month. The index, derived from data that for the most part have already been reported individually, is designed to anticipate economic conditions three to six months out. A string of small increases this year may be signaling a period of more moderate economic activity. The Conference Board delivers its latest index of leading indicators today.

Best Buy reports financial results for its fiscal first quarter today. Financial analysts anticipate that the electronics retailer’s earnings and revenue declined in the February-April period versus the same quarter a year earlier. Best Buy’s sales have been growing in the U.S., but sliding overseas. The retailer is grappling with increased competition from online stores, notably Amazon.com, and discounters like Wal-Mart.

Homes sales perking up? New data on sales of previously occupied homes should provide insight into how the spring homebuying season is coming along. The National Association of Realtors reports its home sales figures for April today. Sales jumped 6.1 percent in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.19 million. At the same time, the inventory of homes for sale fell to a 4.6-month supply, indicating rising demand and limited availability of homes.

Student asks about relationships WIZARD OF ID
DILBERT

Dear Annie: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became “Jake’s” girlfriend. We’ve been dating for about a week. I’ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group. I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my friends kind of pushed me into the relationship. His last relationship didn’t last long, partly because he and the girl had sex right away. When Jake and I started dating, I told him I am a religious girl and am not going to do sexual things with him. Well, we went to prom together and back to his house afterward, where we were alone. He started to put his hand up the back of my dress. I didn’t object because he was mostly stroking my back. The next day, we went to his house to watch a movie, and he started jumping all over me. It made me uncomfortable, but I’m not good at communicating that, so I didn’t say anything. I just didn’t respond. Jake is also a sloppy kisser, and I’m not sure I can tolerate that. Today I realized that I have feelings for another guy, and now I don’t know whether I like him

you thought. If your friends drop you over this, they aren’t truly friends. Real friends have your back.
more than Jake. But if I break up with Jake, I will be booted out of our group, and I have no other friends. I don’t know what to do. I feel that Jake is pressuring me a little about sex, even though he hasn’t actually demanded anything. Should I stay with him and see where it goes? Should I wait until summer to end it so that the group will have time to adjust without making things super-awkward? Or should I just end things now and face losing my friends? — Confused Girlfriend Dear Confused: You already know that you need to break up with Jake because you don’t actually like him and you feel pressured. We’d do it now, but if you would feel more comfortable waiting until school is out, that’s OK, too. You and Jake might be able to drift apart more naturally then. You might also confide in one of your friends that you and Jake don’t seem to be hitting it off as well as
Dear Annie: My girlfriend and I were planning to go away together for a weekend next month while her daughter was staying with the ex. But the ex decided at the last minute to take his own vacation, so we have to bring her along or cancel. If we cancel the reservation on the hotel room, we lose the deposit, and upgrading to two rooms isn’t possible. Is it acceptable for us to sleep in the same bed while her daughter is sleeping on a cot, or should we use separate beds? Or should I try to get a room for myself elsewhere? — N.Y. Dear N.Y.: How old is the girl? How long have you and Mom been together? If you and Mom are in a committed relationship, the girl knows you well and she is under the age of 6, you may share a room. Mom and the daughter should take the bed. You get the cot. Otherwise, yes, please try to find another room for yourself. And thank you for caring enough to do the right thing.

Being a good listener is the best way to be heard D E A R ABBY: I am responding to “Tired of Talking to Myself”, whose husband’s ears Abigail slam shut she Van Buren when begins to speak. Dear Abby This is not a problem that’s exclusive to men. Women do it as well. As a retired PA (physician’s assistant), when talking with patients, I would refer to it as selective hearing loss. “Tired” needs to look at her own behavior because I have never seen one partner be the only guilty one. My wife can hear the ticking of the turn signal that wasn’t turned off, but she doesn’t always hear my questions or statements. There are many reasons why it happens, but the way to resolve it is to listen when your partner talks to you. If you do, you will find that he/ she returns the courtesy. Perhaps if “Tired” gives a closer look to her own behavior, she’ll stop referring to it as a male problem. -- FRANK IN PORTLAND, TEXAS DEAR FRANK: Thanks for your letter.
When I asked readers for input, they heard me loud and clear and gave me an “earful”: DEAR ABBY: Focus is a strength for many men like me. I am a little hard of hearing and need to focus on what I am listening to. If you want open ears, hold my hands and make sure I am looking at your face. You will now have my attention. Tell me what you want from me. I want you to be happy and will do what I can for you. -- A LITTLE HARD OF HEARING (CHUCK) DEAR ABBY: Some researchers say women speak about 13,000 more words a day than men do. There’s a joke that explains it’s because we have to say everything twice! -- JENNY IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR ABBY: Men have no patience. They only want to hear a brief, straight-to-the-point version. Women tend to tell the story from beginning to end with every detail explained so nothing is misunderstood. When men hear us talk, they will say all they hear is blah, blah, blah. “Tired,” if you try to be patient and use the abridged version, maybe communication will get easier with fewer re-
peats. -- HEIDI IN FLORIDA DEAR ABBY: I wonder what kind of things she’s saying to him. There’s a saying I have found to be true: “Men marry women and hope they never change. Women marry men and hope they will change.” I have been married for 35 years and recently my wife has started pointing out every little thing I do that she thinks I should do differently. I have reached the point that when she starts one of her observations, I say, “Could you add it to your list and put it somewhere?” and that’s the end of the conversation. Nit-picking does not make for a great marriage. -- TIM IN ARIZONA DEAR ABBY: There are three words men always respond to: sex, food and money -- not always in that order. Use one of those words when talking to them and you’ll always get a response. -- BETH IN THE SOUTH 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). Failure is the truck stop of all experience. It’s where you fuel up, eat and more. You’ll never get to success without passing failure first. Knowing this makes you less judgmental of all, including yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes you wonder whether anyone will buy what you’re selling. Don’t be so unsure. Also, focusing too externally can be a detriment. Today, the gifts from you to you will have the most value. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). However badly they need to, not everyone can articulate what they are going through. That’s where you come in -- to speak for the ones who can’t say what’s going on with them. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your self-esteem isn’t just about you. What you think of yourself will affect all the people around you who know you and/or love you, especially those related to
you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is there such a thing as secret communication? If you’re sending it on paper, over the Internet or in any public forum, the answer is no. There are no secrets. Eventually, it will all come out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Striving for beauty is useless because the uncontrollable aspects of beauty are almost always what make it happen. But you can always try to make it better. That’s how you’ll spend your time today and be most effective. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you love someone, the idea reads. You worry about whether or not it’s being projected accurately, though pretty much everyone around you can tell. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The day’s mission seems daunting, and that’s why you need to be a believer. Eventually you’ll find your way. This is how you’ll get there: Think of the end and
then back up, step by step. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your weird uncle or wild aunt will have some bearing on the day’s events, if not directly, then by the association of your lineage. Just remember, you’re connected to more people than those in your bloodline. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No one is born knowing what they are interested in. A person has to be exposed to potential interests to find them. You’ll do this for another, and later it will come back to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you feel your feelings, you then can relay them accurately. That’s one more reason it’s not good to deny or stuff your feelings into distractions such as food. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What’s your take on time these days? Are you in the moment, up to the moment, moment to moment? Tonight will change it all as you revel in the past.

How important are bullpens today? The top six bullpen ERAs belong to the six division leaders, led by Kansas City’s 1.60 followed by Houston (2.15), St. Louis (2.21), New York Mets (2.59), New York Yankees (2.62) and the Dodgers (2.64). Another contender, Detroit, is seventh at 3.02...The Texas Rangers are the only team that hasn’t tossed a shutout this season...Not that Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has ever really run his club by the book, but Monday’s announcement of manager Dan Jennings caught the entire baseball world off guard. Jennings, the team’s general manager, has never managed or played at the professional level... According to Baseball-Reference.com. Jennings is the ďŹ rst non-player to manage since Ted Turner’s infamous game leading the Braves in 1977. Prior to that, the distinction goes to Judge Fuchs, who managed the Boston Braves in 1929...On Sunday, May 17, there were seven shutouts. Writer David SchoenďŹ eld informs us that the only day with more was June 4, 1972 (eight). On Sunday, Shelby Miller’s two-hit gem over Miami was the only complete game. Of the eight in 1972, ďŹ ve were complete games, including two two-hitters by Hall of Famer CatďŹ sh Hunter and Don Wilson. The total also included two shutouts by Oakland over Baltimore in a doubleheader...Last year’s American League Cy Young winner Corey Kluber was off to a rough start in 2015, losing his ďŹ rst ďŹ ve decisions thanks to an ERA north of 5.00. But last week, he found a lineup he could handle. It belonged to the best team in the majors, the St. Louis Cardinals. Kluber allowed just one hit over eight innings and whiffed 18 for his ďŹ rst win...The Atlanta Braves recalled outďŹ elder Todd Cunningham last week and inserted him in left ďŹ eld on Friday. In three games, the 26-year-old posted eight hits in 12 plate appearances. He may be in Atlanta to stay...The Giants welcomed back Hunter Pence to their lineup last week. The inspirational leader began his season 4-for-8, including a home runs and ďŹ ve runs in two San Francisco wins over Cincinnati...And we’re still trying to understand just why the Angels were so anxious to rid themselves of Josh Hamilton. Los Angeles left ďŹ elders are batting .147 and rank last in the majors in OBP, slugging and OPS. And their designated hitters aren’t faring much better, trudging along at a .242 clip with just one homer and 12 RBIs.
NUMBERS GAME
3 Home runs given up to St. Louis by David Price in Detroit’s 4-3 win over the Redbirds last week. In seven previous starts, Price had allowed just three homers total.
TURN BACK THE CLOCK May 20, 1999 Robin Ventura of the New York Mets becomes the ďŹ rst player to hit grand slams in both games of a doubleheader. Four years earlier, Ventura hit two slams in one game for the Chicago White Sox.

Judge puts off decision in Orioles, Nationals TV dispute The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A New York state judge put off a decision in the television revenue dispute between the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals after listening to four hours of arguments. Supreme Court Justice Lawrence K. Marks said he will issue a written opinion. Marks put a preliminary injunction in place last August, preventing the Nationals’ from breaking their deal with the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, which is controlled by the Orioles. Baltimore wants Marks
to overturn an arbitration decision by a panel of three baseball executives, who said last June the network should pay the Nationals about $298 million for their rights from 2012-16, starting at approximately $53 million for the first year and rising to nearly $67 million for 2016. Washington is asking Marks to confirm the decision. The Orioles contend the decision was improper because the law firm Proskauer Rose, which represented the Nationals, at times worked for MLB and the teams of all three
arbitrators. The Orioles also claimed it was not fair MLB gave the Nationals a $25 million loan in August 2013 in anticipation it would be repaid from higher broadcast revenue. “We believed it’s actually poisoned,� MASN lawyer Thomas J. Hall said. “The harm is the taint, the suspicions, the lack of an unbiased, impartial panel.� Nationals lawyer Stephen R. Neuwirth said under the deal forming MASN, Baltimore agreed to the procedure and had no right to an independent, pristine group of arbitrators who have no re-
lationship to the parties.� “This was supposed to be an inside baseball arbitration. The Orioles knew that,� he said. With Nationals owner Ted Lerner sitting in the second row of spectator seats, Neuwirth said the lack of increased broadcast revenue caused the team’s owners to “dig into reserves� and renegotiate loans. “They don’t have the cash flow,� Neuwirth said. MASN was established in March 2005 after the Montreal Expos relocated to Washington and became the Nationals,
moving into what had been Baltimore’s exclusive broadcast territory since 1972. The Orioles were given a supermajority partnership interest in MASN, starting at 90 percent, and Washington made a $75 million payment to the network for an initial 10 percent stake. The agreement called for the Nationals’ equity to increase 1 percent annually, starting after the 2009 season, with a cap of 33 percent. The network’s rights payments to each team were set at $20 million apiece in 2005 and 2006, rising to $25
million in 2007, with $1 million annual increases through 2011. After that, the network was to pay fair market value. The settlement agreement requires disputes to be heard by MLB’s Revenue Sharing Definitions Committee, and when the parties couldn’t agree on what the Nats’ rights fees should be for 201216, they appeared in April 2012 before Pittsburgh Pirates president Frank Coonelly, Tampa Bay Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg and New York Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon.

Tull 8 shots back after 1-over 73 BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Alex Tull shot a one-over on Wednesday and now sits eight shots off of the lead after the second round of action at the NJCAA Division II National Championship. The Northeast Mississippi Community College freshman, the 11th Tiger individual to participated in the event, came in as one of three golfers two shots back following an openinground 68. Phillip Hickman, of rival Mississippi Gulf Coast, shot a 67 over the second 18 to break a six-way tie after the first round. Hickman sits at 11-under, while teammate Grant Motter is one of two golfers three shots back. Thirty-one participants are under par following the second day of play on the Par 72, 7,145-yard layout at the Goose Pond Colony Lake Course in Scottsboro, Alabama. South Mountain, Arizona, leads the team competition with a 553 after two days. The Cougars extended their firstround lead by three after jumping out to a four-shot lead. Tull, now among a five-way tie at 18th, played even on the front nine. He had four birdies and 10 pars to go along with three bogeys and one double-bogey. Tull will be in the 33rd group again today, with a tee time of 11:48 a.m. for the third of four rounds.

Howard unsure about Game 2 The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard has a sprained left knee and is unsure whether he’ll be able to play against Golden State in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals Thursday night. Howard sat out practice Wednesday at Oracle Arena after an MRI confirmed the injury. He said his knee was still in pain and he’ll listen to his body before deciding whether to play. He added that he has “no doubt” he’ll return at some point in the series. “The most important thing is that I’m healthy,” Howard
said. “Nobody can understand an injury when they’re injured but the person that’s injured. This is going to be on how I feel. If I feel like I can tolerate it and go out there and play on it, then I will. But my career is the most important thing. I want to do whatever I can to help the team, but I can’t help the team if I’m hurt.” Howard hurt his knee in a first-quarter collision with teammate Josh Smith. He came back into the game in the second quarter but lacked his usual athleticism and eventually left with less than a minute into the fourth. Howard finished with seven points and 13 rebounds in
26 minutes on the floor. The Warriors beat the Rockets 110-106 to open the best-ofseven series. “It was very painful to play (Tuesday) night, and coach just felt like it was best that I sit out the rest of the game. I tried to play on it, but it’s really nothing I could do,” Howard said. Asked if he could play if Game 2 was Wednesday night, Howard responded: “Thank God we don’t have to play tonight.” Howard missed 41 of 82 games this season, mostly due to issues with his right knee. He said the latest injury is frustrating, especially this deep into the playoffs, and
he’s hoping for a fast recovery. “Just stay positive. Don’t allow any doubt or negativity to run through my mind,” he said. “It was just a freak incident that happened. I’m not going to allow this to change my energy or my mood toward our goal or the positivity that we have all brought to this team.” If Howard can’t play, the Rockets could turn to rookie Clint Capela as their starting center. The Switzerland-born Capela, who also played in the NBA Development League this season, had nine points on 4-of-4 shooting and four rebounds in 13 minutes in Game 1.

Goodell wants to hear directly from Brady The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday it’s his responsibility to hear directly from New England quarterback Tom Brady in his appeal of his four-game suspension in the deflated footballs case. Goodell said he has not had time to study a request from the players’ union that he recuse himself from the appeal because he has been focused on the spring owners meet-
ings that concluded Wednesday. He said he would study the request when he returned to New York but added that unless there is a factor that he is unaware of he will likely hear the case. “It’s my job here to make sure we’re doing everything to protect the integrity of the game, protect our policies, protect our procedures,” Goodell said. “We have a process that has been negotiated
with the union that has been in place for decades. It’s my responsibility and it’s something that we’ve had in place for a long time.” Goodell said no date has been set for the appeal. The CBA reached in 2011 to end the lockout gave Goodell the right to hear the appeal; only the commissioner can punish players for conduct detrimental to the league. But the NFL Players Association claims if he delegates his au-
thority to discipline players, it’s invalid, and if he handles it himself, he is no longer impartial. When NFL executive vice president Troy Vincent suspended Brady for the first four games of the 2015 season, he cited Brady’s lack of cooperation in refusing to turn over his cellphone records as one of the reasons for the hefty punishment.

Spieth ready for majors-like homecoming BY STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer
FORT WORTH, Texas — Jordan Spieth occasionally pulls that green jacket out of his closet and holds it like the great trophy that it is. Back home in North Texas, Spieth will be introduced in consecutive weeks as the Masters champion to crowds filled with family and friends.
“It’s where it really starts to hit me kind of what it means,” Spieth said. Spieth tees off Thursday at historic Colonial, and then next week at the Byron Nelson Championship where the Dallas native twice made the cut as a teenage amateur, even missing his high school graduation while playing a weekend round.
“I focus as if they’re major championships,” he said. “There’s nothing better than playing well in front of your hometown family and friends.” His record victory at the Masters last month wrapped up an incredible stretch on the course, and led to the grind of responsibilities and appearances that come with
winning at Augusta. In his three tournaments leading up to the Masters, he won the Valspar Championship in a playoff and had consecutive runner-up finishes in his home state. He was four strokes behind fellow Texan Jimmy Walker at the Valero Texas Open, then fell Please see SPIETH | 13
Hamilton gets more time in minors before return The Associated Press
FRISCO, Texas — Josh Hamilton says his body tells him there would be about a week and a half left in a normal spring training. So three to four days sounds about right during the Texas slugger’s accelerated personal preseason, which means one more minor league stop before he potentially rejoins the Rangers. Hamilton wrapped up a
four-game stint with DoubleA Frisco on Wednesday with his first home run in his 10th minor league rehab appearance after spending almost two weeks at extended spring training in Arizona. Before the game, Texas announced that Hamilton would return to Triple-A Round Rock for three more games starting Thursday, when he turns 34. The schedule sets up for
him to be back with the Rangers on Monday in Cleveland, and the five-time All-Star didn’t discourage the idea. “I think about four more days will be good,” Hamilton said after going 1 for 4 with three groundouts. Texas re-acquired Hamilton last month in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels, who essentially dumped the outfielder after he self-reported a relapse with cocaine and al-
cohol and an arbitrator ruled he couldn’t be suspended by Major League Baseball. Hamilton, who had two disappointing seasons with the Angels after signing a fiveyear, $125 million contract in 2013, underwent shoulder surgery before reporting the relapse. He’s on the disabled list. The 2010 American League Please see HAMILTON | 13

Goodell said he is open to seeing those records during the appeal and that could play a role in a possible reduction of the suspension for Brady’s role in the use of underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. “I look forward to hearing directly from Tom if there’s new information or information that can be helpful to us in getting this right,” Goodell said. “I want to hear directly from Tom in that.” A four-time Super Bowl champion and the face of the most suc-
cessful NFL franchise of this century, Brady was found in the investigation conducted by attorney Ted Wells — who was hired by the league — to be “at least generally aware” of a scheme to illegally deflate footballs used in the conference title game. Goodell said it is difficult to suspend anyone but that the integrity of the league is paramount. “I have great admiration and respect for Tom Brady,” he said. “But the rules have to be enforced on a uniform basis and they apply to everybody. They apply to every club, every individual coach and every player.”

in a three-man playoff at Houston. Now comes another Texas two-step following some extra time off after missing the cut at The Players Championship two weeks ago in his last tournament. And the 21-year-old Spieth said his energy is up again just in time for a greentinted homecoming. “I feel like I got my feet under me this past week,” he said. “I’m excited for these two weeks, and this is going to be a really fun stretch.” Spieth tied for 14th at Colonial last year, when Adam Scott won in a three-hole playoff against Jason Dufner to cap his first week as the No. 1-ranked player in the world. Scott hasn’t won since, with only one top-10 finish in eight PGA Tour events this season, and has slipped to No. 11 in the world. He tied for 38th at both the Masters and Players Championship. “I’ve just had too many changes, I think,
this year,” said Scott, who while becoming a first-time father also made some switches with equipment and his putting. “I feel like I’m playing well. I certainly haven’t put any numbers on the board, and that’s really what it’s down to. I’ve just got to really grind it out and get the most out of it, where as I feel this year I’ve really gotten the least out of my game.” Ranked No. 2, Spieth is the only of the world’s top 10 in the 122-player field at Hogan’s Alley, where the winter gets a plaid jacket. Eleven former Colonial champions are playing this week, even after past winners Tom Watson and Tom Purtzer both withdrew Monday. There is also Colonial member Ryan Palmer, whose caddie is fellow member and four-time club champion James Edmondson. Palmer matched the course record of 9-under 61 in a practice round last week, when he missed short putts on the last two holes.
MVP described the decision on his return as collaborative, the product of “honest” feedback from the club and him. “In the past obviously I would have forced the issue to get back,” Hamilton said. “But I’m not forcing the issue now. I’m trying to grow up a little bit.” Hamilton, whose home debut is likely to be May 28 against Boston, has been getting warm receptions from minor league crowds about 40 miles from his home ballpark. The cheers had a distinctly high pitch for an 11 a.m. start Wednesday, with thousands of schoolchildren spending a day out of the classroom. And Hamilton, who

He switched to Frisco because Round Rock made a trip to Colorado, and now the RoughRiders are headed on the road while the Express come back home. “I’ve said I’m glad to be back playing, I’m glad to be back playing,” he said. “Eventually, I’ll be where I want to be.” And his unique spring training will end. “I’ve been going at it every day pretty much, just mentally ramping myself up because I know it’s got to be done,” Hamilton said. “Spring training, you’ve got a little more time to get there.” The time is getting close for Hamilton.

MADISON, Wis. — Brett Favre will be playing football again in Wisconsin, just not at Lambeau Field. The former Green Bay Packers quarterback will be participating in a charity flag football game the University of Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium on July 19. The event pitting former Packers against NFL All-Stars will come a day after Favre is inducted into Packers Hall of Fame during a ceremony at Lambeau. Organizers and a Packers spokesman say a scheduling conflict at Lambeau and the game’s proximity to the start of the NFL season prevented the team game from being held in Green Bay. So Favre thought the next best place to hold the game would be Madison, which is about a twohour drive southwest from Lambeau. “As far as Lambeau, I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t
have been great to play at Lambeau for obvious reasons. But it is what it is, and they have to get ready for the season and I guess it’s relatively close to that, and they have some other events prior to our flag football game,” Favre said in a teleconference. Favre is very familiar with Camp Randall since the Packers used to play preseason games there. “This is not Lambeau, but it’s pretty darn close,” Favre said. “What a great place to play.” Lambeau rarely hosts events outside of football season. On June 20, the venue will host a concert with country music stars Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean. “Our main goal for Lambeau Field’s playing surface is to have it in the best condition possible for the start of the season,” Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey said. The concert “will add some challenges to that goal, so we need to
prevent any further wear and tear on the field prior to the season getting underway.” The team said it was looking for his forward to his return to Lambeau on July 18, and wished him well on the charity event. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Favre 4 Hope Foundation, which benefits charities including Make A Wish and Special Olympics. Former Packers scheduled to attend including tight end Mark Chmura, receiver Javon Walker and center Frank Winters. “Well, I hope the shotgun snaps are going to be better this time than they were,” Favre cracked. Ex-NFL players scheduled to oppose the Packers old-timers include quarterback Donovan McNabb; running back Roger Craig; and Ron Dayne, the running back who won the Heisman Trophy in 1999 while playing at Wisconsin.
The flag football game will cap a momentous weekend for Favre, as well as a milestone in the mending relationship between the Packers and their former franchise quarterback. The sides had a messy split in 2008 as Favre weighed retirement. He went on to play three more seasons with the Jets and Minnesota Vikings. Besides the Hall of Fame induction, the July 18 ceremony inside Lambeau will also include the retirement of Favre’s No. 4 jersey. Last week, the team sold out roughly 67,000 seats for fans to watch the ceremony on the video board inside the stadium bowl. “If there were any questions prior to that about how the fans felt about my return, I think those questions have been answered,” Favre said. “This game is just another way to cap off that weekend in a fun way.”
