A Iuka woman was killed Friday in a three vehicle wreck near a busy Corinth intersection.

Alcorn County Coroner Jay Jones said Christy Taylor, 49, of Iuka, suffered fatal injuries during the 5 p.m. wreck at U.S. Highway 72 and Cass Street.

Officials took several eyewitness reports at the scene.

Corinth Police Sgt. Chad Harville said the three vehicle wreck happened when a black Chevrolet Avalanche truck driven

by Jerry Spencer, 61 of Corinth, sideswiped a Dodge Challenger driven by Lamar McCory, 26, of Corinth, in the east bound lane of U.S. 72 near Cass Street. The impact knocked the Avalanche into west bound traffic colliding head-on with a Chrysler Sebring convertible driven by John Taylor, 54, of Iuka.

Christy Taylor, who was pronounced dead on the scene, was a passenger in the convertible.

Harville said according eyewitness reports, speed was a factor in the wreck. He said reports indicated that prior to

the accident Spencer was traveling at a high rate of speed and changed lanes to avoid a vehicle exiting the parking lot of Popeyes restaurant.

John Taylor was transported from the scene in critical condition via Air Evac to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupleo. Spencer and a 14-year-old passenger in the truck were both taken by Magnolia EMS to Magnolia Regional Health Center.

McCory was not injured.

The accident shutdown U.S. 72 in both directions. Harville said traffic was diverted via side streets for more than one hour.

Hundreds of people gathered in the five fast food restaurants parking lots surrounding the intersection to watch the horrific scene unfold.

In addition to Corinth Police, Corinth first responders, Magnolia EMS, Corinth Fire Department and Alcorn County Coroner Jay Jones responded.

“An investigation and accident reconstruction should be completed next week by the Mississippi Highway Patrol,” added Harville.

Living Free Ministries continues to change lives

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

(Editor’s note: This is the fourth story in a multi-part series spotlighting Living Free Ministries’ Addiction Recovery Month.)

Thirteen years ago this week, Living Free Ministries was born.

Founder Tommy Wilson was searching for a new way to help his addict brother find a way out.

Tommy knew first hand the struggles that his little brother was facing because he experienced the same dark fate just six years earlier.

“I was going everywhere. I was

going to different churches and programs. I was dying inside with the need to find something to help him,” said Tommy. “Then I visited Teen Challenge Drug Rehab in Savannah, Tenn., and I found my answer. I continued to go for three months, and soon God used me to doing something similar in Corinth.”

Tommy’s wife, Marea, wanted no part of it.

“I was scared,” she said. “I was scared that getting Tommy back into that type of environment might lead him back. It was really the fear of the unknown.”

The ministry’s first meetings saw less than 10 people attend in search of help from drug and alcohol related demons.

“We really didn’t have a clue what we were doing. We just knew that Christ could change people’s lives,” said Tommy.

Marea said at some point she feel in love with Living Free and the group’s dedication to help people with life controlling issues.

“I wanted to support Tommy, so I was going to every meeting in the beginning even though I

The “butterfly guy” fluttered into Corinth on Saturday.

Retired teacher and museum educator Doug Fleury was at the ninth annual Corinth Home and Garden Show showing off a collection of butterflies and plants butterflies love.

“I was able to bring a local resident monarch butterfly to the show,” said Fleury before presenting a talk on the biological and environmental needs of butterflies and their caterpillar. “She is beautiful and a resident of Rienzi.”

Fleury entertained a group of about 50 locals on the grounds of the

He also shared several native and nursery plants that are attractive to the flying insects through their nectar and foliage.

A native of Massachusetts, Fleury has ties to the Corinth area. In 1978,

he worked with Margaret Green Rogers to develop a regional museum centered in Corinth and was involved in establishing tourism promotion efforts.

He is currently working with Prentiss County residents to promote tourism through development of the Browning Fossil Park at Frankstown.

The annual show to benefit restoration of the Verandah-Curlee House included two days of home tours, a tea party, a “passalong” plant sale and gardening presentations. The gardens at the Randy and Tammi Frazier’s home at the corner of Taylor and East Fourth Street was also open for tours.

BHS senior earns college degree before diploma

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

Abby Pitts is getting good at graduating.

When Pitts walked across the stage to receive her diploma at Booneville High School, she did it with a college degree already in hand.

The BHS valedictorian graduated first from Northeast Mississippi Community College, earning her associate’s degree before she received her high school diploma.

Her accomplishments come through a dual enrollment program that offers students at Booneville the opportunity to earn college credit at Northeast while in high school.

Pitts is the first Blue Devil to actually complete a college degree while still in high school.

For the dedicated scholar the journey has been worth it.

Pitts is headed to the University of Mississippi this fall to begin studies in pre-med and prepharmacy with the lofty goal of obtaining degrees in both pharmacy and medicine.

She has 16 years of school and residency in her future to make it to her dream of becoming a surgical oncologist and helping those with cancer.

While the road ahead is long, Pitts is ready for it.

“It will all be worth it in the end,” she said.

and meeting others touched by cancer inspired a passion for battling the disease.

She was 13 when she decided what she wanted to do with her life.

“I realized that was what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a difference,” she said.

Pitts started taking dual enrollment classes as a sophomore and by the spring semester of her junior year she saw it would be possible to earn her degree.

Her classmates have been supportive but surprised by her achievement and the attention it has brought.

“I think they didn’t really expect it to be as big as it was. I don’t think they really expected me to go to the point that I did,” she said.

The student said she couldn’t have done it without the support of her family and of the teachers at both schools who have helped accommodate her challenging schedule and encouraged and supported her along the way.

Not only a gifted student, Pitts is also an athlete and believer in community service. Among her numerous accomplishments are earning the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest individual achievement in scouting, and the Lindy Callahan Award given to the state’s top scholar athletes.

Pitts is excited about the future and knows her early start on her college career will let her start a step ahead as she enters a long course of study to pursue her dreams.

“It just helps a lot,” she said.

Legislature must fund road repairs Republicans in the Mississippi Legislature are so determined to avoid raising taxes for highway maintenance that they’re willing to give up some of their cherished authority.

The easy and obvious solution to the highway funding problem — brought on by higher construction costs and declining revenue due to more fuel-efficient vehicles — is to raise the state gasoline tax.

Mississippi has taxed fuel sales at 18.4 cents per gallon for the past 30 years, and the money the tax brings in today isn’t keeping up with the state’s highway needs.

Of course, nobody likes higher taxes. But leaving things as they are will lead to a slowly deteriorating highway network, one which the state invested billions to build. As groups such as the Mississippi Economic Council have noted, this would harm the state economy — which can hardly be the goal of legislative leaders.

It may be that Republicans in the Legislature have signed one of those documents in which they promise never to vote for a tax increase.

Perhaps that’s why House Speaker Philip Gunn and other lawmakers released a list of proposals last week to pay for improved highways and bridges that includes everything but a higher fuel tax.

The most comical idea is to allow cities and counties to hold referendums to see which voters would raise fuel taxes in their areas.

Municipal officials are among those rolling their eyes at that one. For several years a number of cities have asked Republican lawmakers for permission to increase the sales tax in their town to pay for specific projects, such as street paving.

The cities have been willing to hold a referendum to get voter approval, but the anti-tax legislative majority is relentlessly opposed.

The only local-option taxes it has been willing to consider are those on hotels and restaurants to fund tourism-promotion efforts.

Fair enough. But now they want to let each city or county vote on fuel taxes? This is so ridiculous that it seems like an idea intentionally set up to fail.

Why would any set of voters in one city or county approve a fuel tax increase when they know very well that voters a few miles away might reject it? Where’s the fairness in that?

There are all sorts of highway funding ideas. Gov. Phil Bryant thinks a state lottery might help, even though it will prey on those who can least afford to gamble away their money. The House wanted to put revenue from online sales taxes into highways, but Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves killed the plan during this year’s legislative session. The House also wants the state to borrow $50 million to help cities and counties with bridge replacement costs.

This is too much bending and twisting. If lawmakers continue like that, they’ll wind up looking like Gumby toys.

Over the past 30 years, Mississippi spent a lot of money to build an excellent system of roads — a system, it should be noted, that extends to every single county in the state.

This investment has maintenance costs, and the people of the state ought to share the expense fairly. At the same time, the Legislature ought to do its job and make a tax decision instead of pawning it off on the public.

The Greenwood Commonwealth

It’s time to embrace the robots We have seen the enemy, and it is the robot.

A wave of fear over automation is driving dire predictions about robots rendering swaths of Americans unemployable and has created a vogue for outlandishly stupid policy proposals.

A popular idea in Silicon Valley is for a so-called universal basic income — the government would write everyone a monthly check — to cushion the unemployment effect of automation (never mind that such a policy would itself have an unemployment effect). Bill Gates wants to tax robots, which makes about as much sense as taxing personal computers back in 1991.

The rising tide of hysteria about our technological future has to count as one of the most pernicious features of the current intellectual climate. The only way to raise our standard of living is to increase productivity, which is impossible without innovation. This process always destroys some jobs but, by raising wages and cutting prices, makes it possible for new jobs to spring up in their place.

This, in a nutshell, is the story of the American economy, as Robert Atkinson

Mississippi was already widely considered as the worst state for mental health availability and support for its residents.

Now, it’s likely to get worse due to substantial cuts in the Mississippi Department of Mental Health due to state budget woes.

Already, Mississippi is facing a lawsuit filed last year by the U.S. Justice Department alleging the state relies too much on psychiatric hospitals and other institutions, as opposed to community care. Under federal law and court decisions, states are supposed to help people live at home and not in institutions.

The state budget cuts start at the top, and the Mississippi Department of Mental Health plans to eliminate 650 positions, some through layoffs, over the next year because of state budget cuts that begin July 1.

Two local agencies directly impacted include Communicare and the North Mississippi Regional Center in Oxford. Communicare has been at level funding in recent years despite Oxford being one of the fastest growth cities in the South.

NMRC will be eliminating evaluations and therapeutic services to infants and children under 3 years old due to the budget cuts.

It’s troubling that as our community grows, increasing the need for mental health services, our resources are either frozen or dwindling. For the future, we will need to find solutions.

The Oxford Eagle

it taketh away. Atkinson and Wu note that occupations associated with railroads — engineers, conductors, etc. — increased 600 percent in the 1850s.

They kept growing until the 1920s, when the advent of cars and trucks began to erode the railroad market; the trajectory in railway jobs has been downward ever since.

The number of telephone operators and data-entry clerks has declined by about 50 percent since 2000, although we don’t lack for communication or ready information.

This sort of occupational churn is inevitable when an economy is becoming more productive, and indeed, the average American worker — equipped with once-unimaginable technological tools — now produces in an hour what his predecessor 100 years ago produced in a day.

The key finding in the Atkinson and Wu study is that, despite the alarm about automation, the American labor market in recent decades has had its lowest rate of occupational churn since 1850. Instead of being overrun by robots, the American economy is

lagging in terms of a technological change. Tellingly, productivity growth has increased at just a 1.2 percent annual rate from 2008 to 2015, a sharp drop from the 2.8 percent annual rate from 1947 to 1973.

Atkinson and Wu believe that another wave of technology is coming, but perhaps not for decades.

“Rather than too much innovation or productivity,” Atkinson and Wu write, “the biggest risk is that economies will not be able to raise productivity fast enough to adequately raise per-capita incomes, especially in an era where nations face growing elderly populations.”

We can argue about the best ways to train higherskilled workers or to cushion the blow to workers of economic change, but technophobia is a formula for stagnation. If we survived the advent of cars, the telephone and electric lighting -- truly revolutionary changes around the turn of the 20th century -- surely we can endure whatever transformative innovations that will, once again, make our economy and workers more productive than ever.

Don’t fear the robot.

Reach for hope in the darkness

BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Columnist

Mental health cuts require solutions

and John Wu describe in a new study for the Information Technology & Innovation Rich Foundation.

Lowry It’s not a tale of stasis but National of gales of Review technological change constantly making the economic landscape anew. It’s hard to see, as examples of past occupational shifts cited

by Atkinson and Wu make clear, how anyone would want it any other way.

Do we really want to recover the tens of thousands of pinsetter jobs that used to be filled by boys and young men at bowling alleys prior to the adoption of the automatic pinsetting machine in the 1940s? Or return to 1950, when there were more than 100,000 elevator operators, an occupation that essentially disappeared after the widespread adoption of self-service elevators? Or rekindle the glory days of motion-picture projectionists, who numbered more than 30,000 in 1940 and now, in the age of multiplexes, fewer than 5,000?

What technology giveth,

The only way to get out of the darkness is to follow the light. Sometimes it’s just a very faint light. Often you have to be in the darkness long enough to refocus your eyes so that you can look for a glimmer of light to follow out of the darkness.

Darkness is never enjoyable. Often it’s a long valley that seems hopeless and inescapable. There are different forms of darkness such as poverty, failing health, family difficulties, work dissatisfaction, discord in your relationships, failures of all kinds and the list goes on.

You may have been there or you may be there now. You may not see any way out and may have given up to just try to survive the darkness of your life and existence.

The worst feeling of all is the feeling of hopelessness.

Hopelessness is when we see no way out or no chance of things getting better. We

go to the doctor with hopes of medical treatment. We go to work in hopes of financially caring for our selves and the people we love.

Sometimes we seek other kinds of help in hopes that an addiction or other life altering habit might be solved so that we might be freed to be at peace with life.

I read this a long time ago and claim it every day in different ways. Walk in the light while you have the light before darkness overtakes you. Throughout life I’ve learned if I walked in the light that I had then I usually would receive more light.

When I was a kid we had a light bulb in the ceiling of most every room. There would be a long string attached to the little silver chain that would pull the switch and turn on the light. Throughout my childhood I often would go into a dark bedroom at night and search for that dan-

gling string. Finding that string was a relief because it turned on the light. A room with light was much easier to navigate than a dark room.

Often we look for the dangling string for a long time to turn on the light. Sometimes we eventually find it and sometimes people never do. Some people live in desperation of trying to find the dangling string while others simply gave up a long time ago.

I tried for years to break through in publishing a book. I was about ready to give up when one morning I was reading the daily newspaper and read one sentence in that newspaper that turned on the light. I now have twelve books and have helped numerous others. Following that one sentence of light gave way to more light that enabled me to see the way to numerous other endeavors and projects. Following that light

showed me the way that I needed at that time.

There is something to this old saying that is true, “Let us not grow weary in doing good. We will reap a harvest if we don’t quit.” Another truth that I have heard is, “Believe in the light while you have the light so that you may become children of light.”

I don’t know what you are dealing with today but don’t quit. It’s easier said than done, I know. However, maybe, if you hang in there and keep your head up and your hand stretching out in front of you, then just maybe, you will feel the string dangling in the darkness.

Investigator named Top Cop Josh Campbell from the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) was a recipient of the “Top Cop” award.

A resident of Belden, Campbell first joined the Office of State Auditor, County Division in 2011 after graduating from Ole Miss. He later transferred to the Investigations Division and graduated from MLEOTA. Special Agent Campbell was assigned, among other cases, to a three-person

team investigating public corruption in north Mississippi. The team identified over 600 potential criminal actions against one public official, and they received 259 indictments for this investigation alone.

“Special Agent Campbell’s leadership skills combined with his work ethic and attention to detail earn him the title of ‘Top Cop’,” said State Auditor Stacey Pickering.

“We are fortunate to have him serve in our office as we work to protect Mississippi taxpayers” The Top Cop program recognizes top law enforcement professionals in Mississippi. The annual awards program is sponsored by the Mississippi Center for Police and Sheriffs. Awards are given to officers representing state and metro area law enforcement agencies.

Bo Howard, Josh Campbell, David Huggins and Jay Strait join in the presentation of the Top Cop award to Campbell.

DOWNTOWN CONTINUED FROM 1A

members of the famous Jesse James gang robbed the Tishomingo Savings Institution in downtown Corinth. Later it was home to a printery for close to 90 years, and now the same Fillmore Street building houses smith.

But it almost didn’t happen.

“The only reason we are here is because alcohol got voted in,” said Smith.

Corinth voters gave 70 percent approval in 2013 to bring liquor and wine back to Corinth for the first time in 23 years.

“We were in the middle of construction on the day of the vote and could have gone either way.

This restaurant could have been offices and apartments depending on how the vote went,” he said. “But thankfully, it went the way we wanted it. I think it’s pretty much changed Corinth on the dining front.”

Alcohol by the glass soon attracted Market Square Inc.’s Lanny Griffith and Van Hedges (and later Preston Knight) to renovate a building on Cruise Street that had literally fallen down. With visionary chef John Marby, the group opened Vicari Italian Grill and later V Taco with Corinth’s first ever

roof-top dining experience.

Market Square’s two restaurants and smith have also created a upscale bar scene downtown.

“Our bar is doing really well,” said Smith. “We have music every weekend and trivia on Thursday nights. Just having another option for people to come to downtown is great.”

Smith also wants to see more restaurant investment downtown.

“I think downtown Corinth could easily support another two to four restaurants ... and we need that to grow and help create a dining destination. It’s my hope that everything that is happening will only attract other investors to downtown,” added Smith. “I’ll tell anybody ... downtown is the place to be.”

Also president of the Corinth Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, Smith credits the Bryants for jump starting a new wave of downtown dining in the early 2000s.

“They kinda took the ball and ran with it with Pizza Grocery. They stayed the course through thick and thin and it worked out good for them,” said Smith. “They paved the way for folks like us and Vicari.”

In an old warehouse on Cruise Street and about

four feet off the historic train tracks sits Pizza Grocery, where downtown dining made the upswing 11 years ago.

“We started out as a retail outfitter store, but decided we wanted to develop another business. We tossed around ideas of a ice cream shop or a candy shop, but we all loved pizza, so that was it,” said Jimbo Bryant, who along with wife Margie made the investment and built their son Joshua’s growing pizzeria.

The building was constructed in the 1920s for Alcorn Wholesale, and continued to operate as such until the 1980s.

The retail store soon closed and concentration moved to the restaurant.

Later the family turned the former retail space into a hip, new coffee shop and banquet facility.

Bryant said while renovating the former warehouse space, the family was trying to create an atmosphere.

“We’ve seen it so many times when we go to bigger cities. We always find their downtowns so we can see the real character of an area. A community’s downtown is that entire town’s identity. It’s what gives a community meaning,” he said. “As for downtown Corinth, I think it’s going in the right direction.”

JACKSON — A Mississippi teenager charged with murder in the death of a 6-year-old told investigators that the boy was actually shot by another of the three teen suspects, according to an investigator’s sworn statement.

The Associated Press obtained the sworn statement Friday from a source with knowledge of the case involving the death of Kingston Frazier. The boy was found shot to death at the side of a dead-end road inside his mother’s abandoned car, hours after someone stole the Toyota Camry from a supermarket parking lot.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Rusty Clark said in the sworn statement filed in connection with the case that 17-yearold Dwan Wakefield of Ridgeland told Clark and another investigator 19-year-old Byron McBride of Pickens was at fault.

“During this interview, Wakefield implicated Byron McBride as the person who actually stole the vehicle and shot and

killed Frazier,” Clark’s statement said.

When asked for further comment, MBI spokesman Warren Strain declined, saying “the court document speaks for itself.”

Wakefield, McBride and 17-year-old D’Allen Washington of Ridgeland are being held without bail in Madison County, just north of Jackson, awaiting Monday morning court appearances. It’s unclear if any of the three have lawyers.

Though all three are charged with capital murder, only McBride could face the death penalty.

The U.S. Supreme Court outlawed the death penalty for crimes committed by people younger than 18 in 2005.

Madison County Coroner Alex Breeland said Kingston was shot multiple times. District Attorney Michael Guest said authorities are still looking for the gun used to kill Kingston but are confident they have enough evidence against the three teen suspects to proceed without it.

“I do not believe that it is anything other than

a crime of opportunity,” Guest said, saying there was no evidence of any deeper plot besides stealing a car that Ebony Archie left running with her child inside. He said he didn’t believe anyone else was involved.

Security video shows that after Archie left her car about 1 a.m., another car drove up and a man got out and then drove off in her Camry. Frazier was in the back seat.

Archie’s family members told local news media Friday that she had picked up her son from his grandmother after going out with friends to celebrate her birthday and was going into the Jackson supermarket to buy party supplies to celebrate Kingston’s kindergarten graduation, which was scheduled Friday.

“She feels guilty for the fact that she decided to go inside the store and leave the car running when she went inside the store,” David Archie, Ebony Archie’s uncle, told WLBT-TV. The car was found eight hours later, abandoned in a muddy ditch about 15 miles north of Jackson in Gluckstadt.

City removes last Confederate statue

BY JANET MCCONNAUGHEY AND REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — They were among the city’s oldest landmarks, as cemented to the landscape of New Orleans as the Superdome and St. Louis Cathedral: a stone obelisk heralding white supremacy and three statues of Confederate stalwarts.

But after decades standing sentinel over this Southern city, the Confederate monuments are gone, amid a controversy that at times harked back to the divisiveness of the Civil War they commemorated.

The last of the monuments — a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee defiantly facing north with his arms crossed — was lifted by a crane from its pedestal late Friday. As air was seen between Lee’s statue and the pedestal below it, a cheer went up from the crowd who recorded history with their phones and shook hands with one another in congratulations.

Many in the crowd had waited since morning.

“I never thought I would see this day!”

“These statues are not just stone and metal. They are not just innocent remembrances of a benign history. These monuments celebrate a fictional, sanitized Confederacy; ignoring the death, ignoring the enslavement, ignoring the terror that it actually stood for.”

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu shouted Melanie MorelEnsminger with joy. “But look! It’s happening.”

Lee’s was the last of four monuments to Confederate-era figures to be removed under a 2015 City Council vote on a proposal by Mayor Mitch Landrieu. It caps a nearly two-year-long process that has been railed against by those who feel the monuments are a part of Southern heritage and honor the dead. But removal of the monuments has drawn praise from those who saw them as brutal reminders of slavery and symbols of the historic oppression of black people.

Landrieu called for the

monuments’ removal in the lingering emotional aftermath of the 2015 massacre of nine black parishioners at a South Carolina church. The killer, Dylann Roof, was an avowed racist who brandished Confederate battle flags in photos, recharging the debate about whether Confederate emblems represent racism or an honorable heritage.

While Roof’s actions spurred a debate in many parts of the South about whether it was appropriate to fly the Confederate battle emblem — and many places have taken it down — the reaction in New Orleans seemed to go even further, knocking

away at even weightier, heavier parts of history.

Landrieu drew blistering criticism from monument supporters and even some political allies. But in explaining his reasoning, the mayor has repeatedly said they do not represent the diversity and future of New Orleans.

“These statues are not just stone and metal. They are not just innocent remembrances of a benign history. These monuments celebrate a fictional, sanitized Confederacy; ignoring the death, ignoring the enslavement, ignoring the terror that it actually stood for,” he said Friday.

“After the Civil War, these statues were a part of that terrorism, as much as burning a cross on someone’s lawn. They were erected purposefully to send a strong message to all who walked in their shadows about who was still in charge in this city,” he added.

It’s not massive like the Superdome or alluring like Bourbon Street, but Lee in his uniform was a familiar landmark for tourists and commuters alike.

Trump embraces warm welcome on Saudi tour Associated Press

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — President Donald Trump basked in Saudi Arabia’s lavish royal welcome Saturday as he left behind, at least temporarily, the snowballing controversies dogging him in Washington.

Trump rewarded his hosts with a $110 billion arms package aimed at bolstering Saudi security and a slew of business agreements.

“That was a tremendous day, tremendous investments in the United

States,” Trump said during a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.

The visit to the kingdom’s capital kicked off Trump’s first foreign trip as president, an ambitious, five-stop swing that will take him through the Middle East and into Europe. He is the only American president to make Saudi Arabia — or any Muslim-majority nation — his first overseas trip.

Trump arrived in Riyadh besieged by the fall-

out from his firing of FBI Director James Comey and more revelations about the federal investigations into his election campaign’s possible ties to Russia. Escaping Washington for the embrace of the Saudi royal family appeared to give Trump a boost.

After an overnight flight, the president was greeted at the airport by King Salman, which was notable given that the monarch did not show up last year to welcome President Barack Obama

on his final visit to Saudi Arabia.

Trump descended the steps alongside first lady Melania Trump, who wore a black pantsuit and gold belt, but did not cover her hair in the ultraconservative kingdom, in keeping with the traditions of Western delegations.

During a ceremony at the grand Saudi Royal Court, Salman awarded Trump the Collar of Abdulaziz al Saud, the kingdom’s highest civilian honor.

“Our message hasn’t changed, but the methods and the way we go about it has changed. We are always looking at how we can do things better.”

It was five years ago when Living Free started serving hundreds of people a Christmas Day meal.

“I think we figured out that Living Free wasn’t just about helping people overcome addiction to drugs and alcohol. Living Free was about helping people no matter the problem or issue,” said Marea.

Living Free has served more than 156,000 free meals since the ministry was born in May 2004.

“We don’t care if people come to Living Free just to eat,” said Marea.

“There is just so much hope at Living Free. We don’t judge ... we welcome people with open arms, and Tommy is the best at making people fee important and valuable.”

Tommy added, “I’ve never wanted to just help people get clean. I’ve always wanted to help people get clean and get their life in order, get their family back and find a good job. We’ve had some heartache. We have seen some people die. A lot of our friends are in prison, but for the ones who have

made it out, it’s been worth it.”

The Wilsons said Living Free’s future will focus on educating and equipping people.

“In the beginning, we were all about helping addicts and getting people help as quickly as possible. Now it’s become more about educating and equipping people and getting them into the best program for their needs,” said Tommy.

The Wilsons agree the ministry would not have made it to 2017 without community support.

Man subdued on jet heading to Hawaii HONOLULU — A man on a Hawaii-bound flight described as unruly and disheveled was subdued by passengers and a flight attendant who used an airplane drink cart to block him from getting to the front of the jet. He was then immobilized with duct tape in a seat until the plane landed in Honolulu Friday, escorted on the last leg of its journey by two fighter jets.

The man on the plane that left from Los Angeles was identified by law enforcement officials as Anil Uskanil, 25, of Turkey. He was taken into custody after the plane landed.

Uskanil was also arrested before boarding the flight at Los Angeles International Airport for opening a door that led onto an airfield ramp, according to Los Angeles Airport Police, who identified Uskanil.

He had been drinking, but police said he did not meet the criteria for being drunk in public, was given a date to appear in court on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing and allowed to board.

High-income youths more likely to work DURHAM, N.H. — Teenagers from higher-income families are more likely to hold jobs than those from lower-income households, according to University of New Hampshire research that suggests employment itself has become an extracurricular activity.

The university’s Carsey School of Public Policy examined the latest numbers from the National Survey of Children’s Health, which collects data on about 95,600 children ages 17 years and younger every four to five years.

For the report released Tuesday, data was analyzed on about 35,000 children ages 12 to 18.

According to the survey, higher-income youths are twice as likely to be employed as their lower-income peers, a finding that researcher Sarah Leonard said was perhaps surprising since one might expect lower-income youth to have higher employment rates. She

said that could suggest that after-school jobs have become a form of extracurricular activity.

YAPHANK, N.Y. — A New York enclave with a history of Nazi affiliation in the 1930s has agreed to change its policies that limited home ownership to people of German descent.

The German American Settlement League has settled a discrimination case brought by New York state. The enclave in Yaphank, on eastern Long Island, has agreed to replace its leadership and comply with all state and federal housing laws.

An attorney for the group has not responded to email requests for comment. One board member says the community welcomes people of all ethnicities.

News accounts recall a groundswell of Nazism in the enclave in the years before the start of World War II. Streets were named after Adolf Hitler and other Nazis.

Those names were changed long ago.

ed States and exporting them to Asia sheds light on a growing and lucrative illegal cross-border trade.

David Mayorquin and his father, Ramon Torres Mayorquin, are accused of a scheme to buy the illegally harvested animals from poachers in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, pay for them under fake names and underestimate their weight and value to inspectors at San Diego’s Otay Mesa border crossing, across from Tijuana, Mexico.

From San Diego, they allegedly shipped the product to Asia, including China, where they are delicacies in Chinese dishes, prized for medicinal value and considered an aphrodisiac.

Border inspectors have spotted smuggled Mexican sea cucumbers for years, but the charges against the Mayorquins and their family business, Blessings Inc. of Tucson, Arizona, are striking for the multi-ton shipments. Authorities say they sell for $300 to $500 a kilogram in Asia, helping explain the draw for poachers and smugglers.

Firefighters rescue baby birds in drain

Officer acquitted to return to force

ASHEVILLE, N.C.— For once, there’s a turkey giving thanks.

WLOS in Asheville reported the Asheville Fire Department was called after some people walking a dog noticed a frantic hen turkey. An investigation found eight baby turkeys, or poults, stuck in a storm drain and calling for their mama.

As they attempted their rescue Tuesday, firefighters discovered the storm drain cover was welded in place.

They had to call for backup to get equipment to cut the cover off. Once firefighters got into the drain, they found the poults in the middle of the pipe that runs under a road.

The firefighters rounded up the babies and reunited them with the hen.

TULSA, Okla. — A white Oklahoma police officer acquitted in an unarmed black man’s shooting death will be back on the force next week, even as jurors who declared her not guilty of manslaughter unanimously agreed she should never return to patrol.

Tulsa police Chief Chuck Jordan issued a one-sentence statement Friday in which he said Betty Jo Shelby is reinstated. It comes a day after black community leaders rallied, urging city leaders to block the 43-year-old officer from getting back her job. She had been on unpaid leave since Sept. 22 when she was charged in the death.

Some leaders were taken aback by Shelby’s quick reinstatement.

“The decision today was obviously a slap in the face, and I think that’s how a lot of the black community feels,” said Anthony Scott, pastor at First Baptist Church North Tulsa.

“It’s like pouring salt on a wound.”

Mexican man to be deported June 1 GREENWOOD — A Mexican man who has lived in Mississippi the past 20 years won’t get to stay in the United States for another year, after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement rejected his request for a stay.

The Greenwood Commonwealth reported that Martin Duron-Esparza, 36, was denied the extra time in a May 12 letter signed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Rodney Sharff.

Duron-Esparza complained that the ICE official’s decision was too fast. “We think he should have taken some time to consider it,” he said.

The letter says an application for a stay was denied two years ago, and “no new issues were presented to support this application. While no one factor is determinative, a review of the factors addressed in your request for a stay of removal shows that the granting of such relief is not warranted.”

Duron-Esparza immigrated to Leflore County as a 16-year-old but never obtained documents for permanent residency.

He says he received annual work permits for six years to work on irrigation pivots. But these ended last June, without explanation.

He said he has been attempting to regularize his immigration status since 2008.

Insurance provider issued cease, desist JACKSON — A company that administers insurance benefits for at least two Mississippi employers has been ordered to stop doing business in the state.

Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney issued a cease and desist order to WH Administrators of Bethesda, Maryland. Mississippi regulators say they’ve been getting complaints that WH Administrators isn’t paying claims from employees of two different companies and some health care providers.

Officials decline to name the companies, but say each is located in central Mississippi.

Both are self-insured,

meaning WH Administrators pays claims for them, but doesn’t actually provide insurance.

Typically, a company pays a set amount of money into a trust account each month, and then the administrator uses that money to cover the health care claims of a company’s employees.

It’s unclear whether money is missing from those trust accounts.

Chaney says his department can’t reach WH Administrators to find out what’s going on, a lack of communication he describes as a “grave concern.”

The company has 20 days to request a hearing, or otherwise the order becomes final. If the Insurance Department finds evidence of wrongdoing, it could refer the case for criminal prosecution.

Regulators aren’t aware of problems in any other states.

Arrest of fugitive leads to drug bust THIBODAUX, La. — The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office says the arrest of a Mississippi fugitive has led to the seizure of more than $68,000 worth of illegal drugs.

Sheriff Craig Webre, in a news release, says 36-year-old James Jones was arrested Wednesday in Galliano on a number of felony drug and weapons charges.

Weber says Jones, of Brookhaven, Mississippi, was arrested after receiving a report that he had threatened to harm a woman during a verbal altercation. When he was taken into custody, deputies found three bags on the ground that Jones allegedly threw from a vehicle and a fourth bag inside the car. The bags contained several types of narcotics.

Authorities say he also had several warrants in Mississippi for charges including assault on a police officer.

Bond was set at $132,200.

Cops charge woman after gun discharges MERIDIAN — Charges have been filed against a woman after her gun discharged inside her purse at the mall.

The Meridian Star reported that Merid-

ian Police Sgt. Dareall Thompson says Krystal Hall and another woman fought in the Bonita Lakes Mall on Wednesday at around 9 p.m. He says one of the women used Mace.

During the fight, Thompson says a gun in Hall’s purse discharged.

Police believe the gun went off in her purse because they were not able to recover any gun casings. The gun was not pulled out or pointed at anyone during the fight.

Police charged Hall with shooting in an occupied building. Hall has bonded out of jail.

Man found guilty of first degree arson GULFPORT — A man has been found guilty of setting fire to his ex-girlfriend’s home after she asked him to move out.

The Sun Herald reported a Harrison County grand jury found 47-yearold Willie Soloman Robinson guilty of first-degree arson Thursday. A judge sentenced him to 15 years in prison.

Assistant District Attorney Robert McCormick says Robinson threatened to burn down the Gulfport home when the woman asked him to move out in 2015. Moments later, she heard his voice outside her window and saw flames at her front and back doors.

Police testified Robinson couldn’t be found immediately after the fire, and the woman’s son saw him carrying a gas can when the blaze was extinguished.

McCormick says Robinson’s actions and the evidence proved his guilt.

Board still looks for new JSU president JACKSON — Trustees looking for a new president for Jackson State University have been unable to reach a consensus.

After hours of closed debate Thursday, College Board President C.D. Smith said trustees are now broadening their search beyond three unidentified finalists they have been considering.

Smith says it’s wrong to say the search is being reopened because the board always had the option to consider additional candidates. He said no votes were taken in the closed meeting.

Farmers nervous on possible NAFTA rewrite

BY PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — A sizable majority of rural Americans backed Donald Trump’s presidential bid, drawn to his calls to slash environmental rules, strengthen law enforcement and replace the federal health care law.

But many farmers are nervous about another plank in Trump’s agenda: His vow to overhaul U.S. trade policy, including his intent announced Thursday to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico.

Trump’s message that NAFTA was a job-killing disaster had never resonated much in rural America. NAFTA had widened access to Mexican and Canadian markets, boosting U.S. farm exports and benefiting many farmers.

Farm Country went on red alert last month when it looked as if Trump wasn’t even going to pursue a NAFTA rewrite: White House aides had spread the word that the president would simply withdraw from the pact.

“Mr. President, America’s corn farmers helped elect you,” Wesley Spurlock of the National Corn Growers Association warned in a statement.

“Withdrawing from NAFTA would be disastrous for American agriculture.”

Within hours, Trump softened his stance. He wouldn’t actually dump NAFTA, he said. He’d first try to forge a more advantageous deal with Mexico and Canada — a move that formally began Thursday when his top trade negotiator, Robert Lighthizer, informed Congress of the administration’s intent to renegotiate NAFTA. As a candidate, Trump defined his “America First” stance as a means to fight unfair foreign competition. He blamed unjust deals for swelling U.S. trade gaps and stealing factory jobs.

“You don’t start off trade negotiations ... by picking fights with your trade partners that are completely unnecessary.”

Aaron Lehman Iowa farmer But NAFTA and other deals have been good for American farmers, who stand to lose if Trump ditches the pact or ignites a trade war. The United States has enjoyed a trade surplus in farm products since at least 1967, government data show. Last year, farm exports exceeded imports by $20.5 billion.

“You don’t start off trade negotiations ... by picking fights with your trade partners that are completely unnecessary,” says Aaron Lehman, a fifthgeneration Iowa farmer who produces corn, soybeans, oats and hay.

Many farmers worry that Trump’s policies will jeopardize their exports just as they face weaker crop and livestock prices.

“It comes up pretty quickly in conversation,” says Blake Hurst, a corn and soybean farmer in northwestern Missouri’s Atchison County.

That county’s voters backed Trump more than 3-to-1 in the election but now feel “it would be better if the rhetoric (on trade) was a little less strident,” says Hurst, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau.

Trump’s main argument against NAFTA and other pacts was that they exposed American workers to unequal competition with low-wage workers in countries like Mexico and China.

NAFTA did lead some American manufacturers to move factories and jobs to Mexico. But since it took effect in 1994 and eased tariffs, annual farm exports to Mexico have jumped nearly five-fold to about $18 billion. Mexico is the No. 3 market for U.S. agriculture, notably

corn, soybeans and pork.

“The trade agreements that we’ve had have been very beneficial,” says Stephen Censky, CEO of the American Soybean Association. “We need to take care not to blow the significant gains that agriculture has won.”

The U.S. has run a surplus in farm trade with Mexico for 20 of the 23 years since NAFTA took effect. Still, the surpluses with Mexico became deficits in 2015 and 2016 as global livestock and grain prices plummeted and shrank the value of American exports, notes Joseph Glauber of the International Food Policy Research Institute.

Mexico has begun to seek alternatives to U.S. food because, as its agriculture secretary, Jose Calzada Rovirosa, said in March, Trump’s remarks on trade “have injected uncertainty” into the agri-

culture business.

Once word had surfaced that Trump was considering pulling out of NAFTA, Sonny Perdue, two days into his job as the president’s agriculture secretary, hastened to the White House with a map showing areas that would be hurt most by a pullout, overlapped with many that voted for Trump.

“I tried to demonstrate to him that in the agricultural market, sometimes words like ‘withdraw’ or ‘terminate’ can have a major impact on markets,” Perdue said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think the president made a very wise decision for the benefit of many agricultural producers across the country” by choosing to remain in NAFTA. Trump delivered another disappointment for U.S. farm groups in January by fulfilling a pledge to abandon the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which the Obama administration negotiated with 11 Asia-Pacific countries.

Trump argued that the pact would cost Americans jobs by pitting them against low-wage Asian labor.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss — Crossroads Magazine Bridal Edition, coming Saturday, June 24, and the annual Corinth Visitors Guide, coming Sunday, June 25.

Name-calling mom attempts to disrupt son’s marriage DEAR ABBY: I have been married to “Amanda” for four years.

During that time, my parents, especially my mother, have called her and her family “trashy” because they live in a rural area in Texas.

My mother has no reason to abuse my wife the way she does.

Amanda’s family has always been Abigail very kind to Van Buren me.

What reDear Abby ally gets me is that my mother also grew up in a rural area.

My mother has said repeatedly that if I don’t get a divorce, things will never get any better between her and me. — ABUSE IN TEXAS DEAR ABUSE: When a man marries, he is expected to separate from his family and form a new family with his wife.

You must not allow your mother to belittle and abuse Amanda, who must now come first.

Because your mother has no intention of changing, it’s time to get a divorce -- from HER. If you don’t, she will not only make your life miserable, but

also your wife’s. (Happy wife, happy life!)

DEAR ABBY: Over the last 10 years, I have loaned books to friends and co-workers.

Each time, the books were never returned to me.

When I followed up with one friend about it, he seemed insulted that I would ask for the book back.

Other people I’ve loaned books to never mentioned them again.

Is there some etiquette rule that allows people to keep a book that is lent to them indefinitely?

If not, what’s the best way to make sure my book gets returned? — BOOKWORM IN MICHIGAN DEAR BOOKWORM: No rule of etiquette dictates that when something is lent it is the person’s to keep.

The individuals you lent the books to may have been embarrassed because they never got around to reading them or lost them.

I suppose you could make clear when you lend a book to someone that you expect it back within a certain period of time — say, a month.

But the only way to “guarantee” that you get the book back is to not lend it in the first place.

DEAR ABBY: Visitations after a death provide an opportunity for friends and family to see people they may not have seen in a long time.

(Except for the immediate family, everyone has a good time!) I have decided that I don’t want to miss mine, so I have decided to have it on my 75th birthday.

There will be food, drink and photos on the big-screen TV. My question is, what should I call it?

A “celebration of my life” seems presumptuous, but I can’t think of anything better.

I plan to repeat this event every five years until I’m dead, in a coma, or run out of money for the caterer. Any ideas? — STUCK FOR A LABEL DEAR STUCK FOR A LABEL: I can’t improve on the label you have already “stuck” on your party. It will be a celebration of life, so why not call it what it is?

I do have a suggestion, though: If you run out of money before your demise, make it potluck.

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.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The cliche is true; these really are the good old days. The same grimy bits of life that you’ll feel inclined to complain about today will be looked back on with fondness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Though taking the so-called high road usually results in bringing levity to the situation, ironically that road is often found by way of digging deep down inside yourself for the greater wells of patience and humility.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Only one person should be in charge right now, and that person is you. A sense of personal control is more important to your contentment than many other factors, including financial ones.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The way you’re greeted makes a huge difference in how quickly you can settle in to a situation and get to work. By the same token, you will be careful to give others the emotional warmth they need to feel comfortable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll feel attractive, and people will definitely be attracted to you.

Note that if you didn’t feel attractive, you would still have admirers, only you wouldn’t really notice them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Surprise! Let’s hope you’ll enjoy the thrill of experiencing what you couldn’t have anticipated, but if you don’t exactly, at least you’ll appreciate the novelty of it and get a lasting memory out of the deal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Getting to the goal will not be nearly so complicated as your mind will try to make it. The most important step is right up top: Decide what you’re going to do and when you’re going to do it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Nothing is guaranteed. The great prizes are for those who are willing to take the great risks. The best prizes of all will have to do with domestic life and relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). Someone who wronged you was, believe it or not, doing his or her very best. Anyway, it’s over. You may have to remind yourself of that gently -- or distract yourself aggressively -in the name of moving on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Oh, the games people will play! You’ll have an advantage if you detach from this so you can rise above the situation and form a strategy instead of reacting to the play-by-play.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your need to project yourself into the things around you will be amplified. It’s as though your reach cannot stay confined to what you can actually reach; rather, the imprint of your spirit will brush against everything you touch.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Maybe you don’t need to do anything differently at all except to get more rest and do less for a few days. It will amaze you how wonderful you can feel after a little peace, quiet and downtime.

Knights rally over Corinth to win state championship

BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Eating breakfast in the hotel lobby Saturday morning prior to Corinth’s 4A state championship game against a formidable West Lauderdale team, I asked head coach Rob Scarbrough what was going through his mind the previous night as he pondered the 2017 season and what lay in store for his squad later that day as they prepared to play, by far, the biggest game of their careers.

“I’ll tell you exactly what I thought,” he said. “I didn’t think so much about winning or losing the game — although winning a championship would be great and it’s what we shoot for — but to be honest, I was thinking about what a great group of players we have. These are some really good young men who represent Corinth well. And I couldn’t ask any more from this group of seniors — they have been the backbone of this team.”

After a productive and positive team practice at Madison Central High School during their off day on Friday, the Warriors arrived at Trustmark Park on Saturday around lunch to tangle with the 13-time state champion Knights with a look of certainty in their eyes and the walk of a team not fazed by the pressure of being on a stage this large and this

bright.

The Warriors scored first for the third time in this series, but for the second straight game saw the Knights rally to win — this time with a single run in the top of the seventh to take a 3-2 decision and claim the 4A state championship.

It was the 14th gold glove for West Lauderdale and head coach Jerry Boatman and would have been the first for CHS since 1956. Now, Corinth will regroup and look to next year as they figure out how to replace five senior starters who have been a part of something special.

“We didn’t win this game or the state championship, but in my opinion our guys are still winners,” Scarbrough said after receiving the runner-up trophy. “We had three young men in Kyle (Crigger), Kerrigan (Maness) and Jackson (Lancaster) who will be going on to play at the next level, and we wouldn’t have been here without them.”

Asked to assess the performance of junior southpaw Treven Knight, the Warrior skipper said, “He pitched his heart out. He kept the ball down and did his job. This is the third game he’s pitched in the playoffs and the first one he’s lost.”

The championship game loss was the first time all season that Corinth has lost back-to-back contests, which is extremely difficult to

achieve at any level, another accomplishment the Tribe can look back on in the future and hang their hats on.

Corinth scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the first when junior first baseman Baylor Frazier sent a lazyjane bloop single to short left field, scoring Lancaster and Alex Trice.

They made that stand until the top of the third when West Lauderdale responded with two runs of their own to knot the game at 2-2. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Cole Hurst reached on an error by Maness when he grabbed a chopper that bounced just over Knight’s glove and fired a rocket to Frazier at first that sailed high and went into the West Lauderdale dugout allowing the tying runs to score.

That was, however, all the damage the Knights could do at that time, and the game remained tied until the seventh.

Corinth had chances to add a run in the bottom of the fourth when Avery Davis singled to right with one out and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Knight. But with two outs, Crigger went down on strikes, and the threat was over.

West Lauderdale also had an opportunity to score in the top of the sixth when Chance Denson walked to lead off, but Lancaster fired a bullet to Spencer Lee just in front

of the bag, and Lee tagged Denson out to take the threat away. Jeremy Davis followed by lining out to Maness and Chase Tighman struck out to end the top half of the inning.

The seventh didn’t start out in West Lauderdale’s favor as the nine-hole hitter Kameron Partridge sent a soft grounder back to Knight on the mound. The Corinth pitcher tossed a soft scooper to Frazier, and the Warriors were within two outs of winning the game in the bottom of the inning.

But the Knights responded when John Ross Briggs singled to left field and then stole second on a close call.

For the record, Scarbrough threw out two runners to help keep the game even.

Hurst reached on an error and there were runners at the corners with one out. Jake Mason flew out to shallow right to Lee, but Lee stumbled after making the overthe-shoulder catch, which allowed Briggs to score from third.

There was some controversy over whether or not Briggs tagged up before scoring the go-ahead run as coaches Scarbrough and Boatman conferenced with the umpiring crew but to no avail for the Tribe. The run was allowed.

Corinth escaped that onslaught by surrendering Please see STATE | 11A

Lady Bobcats advance to state

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

SELMER, Tenn. — The “Road to Murfreesboro” began this week on McNairy Central Road.

The Lady Bobcats punched their ticket to the “Spring Fling” by beating Ripley 10-0 in run-rule fashion Friday at Lady Bobcat Field.

McNairy Central will make their first appearance in the state softball tournament The Lady ‘Cats will play their first game on Tuesday afternoon.

The Lady Bobcats (277) can now lay claim to being one of the two best Class AA teams in West Tennessee with the win.

A well balanced offense saw eight of the nine batters get at least one hit and six of the nine got at least one RBI in the lopsided victory.

Freshman Victoria York had one of her best nights of the season going four-for-four at the plate, drove in four runs, scored a run, and threw out one Ripley baserunner trying to steal second.

Katie Turner put together another quality performance in with the four-hit shutout. She fanned eight and walked only one.

She now has a 24-7 record, with 30 complete games, and 18 shutouts.

Turner has a season total of 353 strikeouts.

The Lady Cats’ (27-7) increased their streak of not trailing in any of

their last six games. MC has won five of those games by shutouts.

McNairy delivered an early blow to Ripley by scoring in the first when Megan Hodum laid down a perfect bunt, was sacrificed to second by Anabelle Whitaker, and York scored her with a single.

Marlee Smith singled to begin a five-run third that took some suspense out of the game.

Allison Sweat walked and Hodum laid down a bunt to load the bases.

York singled to score Smith and Danielle Mask cracked a double to score Sweat and Hodum.

Selika McCord lined a single scoring York and Rachel Pickens hit a sacrifice fly to allow McCord to open a 6-0 lead.

The offensive machine of the Lady Bobcats kept pounding away in the sixth.

Pickens smacked a double followed by Alyssa Nash’s single and Smith’s RBI groundout.

Sweat blasted a double to score Nash.

Hodum got on with her third single of the game, and York blasted a double to right-center to bring home Sweat and Hodum to end the game because of the 10run rule.

The freshman tandem of York and Hodum combined for seven hits to account for McNairy’s season-high 14 hits. McCord also contributed a pair of hits.

Ole Miss moves on to championship Ole Miss Sports Information

OXFORD — Another stellar performance from Kaitlin Lee and a string of three extra-base hits lifted No. 13 Ole Miss to a 2-0 shutout over No. 22 Arizona State Saturday afternoon in the winner’s bracket game of the NCAA Oxford Regional.

With the victory, the Rebels (42-18) secure a spot in today’s regional finale at 1:30 p.m. to take on North Carolina to claim the regional championship.

With Saturday’s win, Ole Miss also broke its previous single-season wins record of 41 set last season.

Both the Rebels and Sun Devils (31-21) traded fairly quiet innings all afternoon long, as storms skirted the Oxford area and allowed for perfect weather into the afternoon. Lee, and ASU’s Dale Ryndak, were locked into a tight pitchers’ duel for a good portion of the contest, before Ole Miss broke through in the sixth.

Ole Miss entered the sixth with only three hits off Ryndak, but the top of the order changed that as Elantra Cox led off with a stand-up triple to right, setting the tables for the rally. Kylan Becker followed with another standup triple, this one to leftcenter field, driving in Cox

for a 1-0 lead. Miranda Strother joined in on the rally two batters later with a double to right-center field, extending the advantage to 2-0, capping the only scoring needed on the afternoon.

The offense wasn’t the only highlight though as the Rebels had a string of highlight plays throughout the afternoon. In the fourth, the Sun Devils threatened after a walk and single to shallow left, but Lampton handled a line drive at third and fired to second doubling off the runner for a key double play.

In the sixth, Paige McKinney started it off with a nice pick and throw, before Lampton handled a hot shot right back to her. Lee then worked a strikeout to Chelsea Gonzales, Arizona State’s leading hitter, who finished with two home runs in Friday’s game.

In the seventh, the Sun Devils looked to start a rally as Sashel Palacios roped one into left-center, but she tried stretching the hit into a double and was unsuccessful as Strother corralled it at the wall and fired a bullet into second.

That marked one of Lee’s five 1-2-3 frames on the day, as she gave up only three hits and struck out three.

Durant, Warriors beat Spurs to take 3-0 lead The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Kevin Durant had 33 points and 10 rebounds and the Golden State Warriors beat the injury-riddled San Antonio Spurs 120-108 on Saturday night to take a 3-0

lead in the Western Conference Finals.

Golden State has a chance to complete its third straight series sweep in Game 4 on Monday night. The Warriors are the third team in NBA his-

tory to win their first 11 playoff games. Cleveland is 10-0, with a 2-0 lead over Boston in the Eastern Conference final.

Stephen Curry added 21 points and became the franchise leader in post-

season points, passing Hall of Famer Rick Barry.

Already without leading scorer Kawhi Leonard and starting point guard Tony Parker, the Spurs lost David Lee to a left knee injury in the opening quarter.

Cloud Computing springs upset in Preakness BALTIMORE — Cloud Computing caught Classic Empire in the final strides Saturday to win the Preakness by a head.

The 13-1 long shot was one of five fresh horses in the race that didn’t run two weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby.

Derby winner Always Dreaming and Classic Empire dueled for most of the race before Classic Empire stuck his nose in front midway on the far turn. It looked as if Classic Empire would go on to win, but Cloud Computing ran him down on the outside.

Always Dreaming faded to eighth in the 10-horse field on a cool and cloudy day at Pimlico. A record crowd of 140,327 was on hand.

Ridden by Javier Castellano, Cloud Computing ran 13/16 miles in 1:55.98 and paid $28.80, $8.60 and $6. It was just the dark brown colt’s fourth career start, the fewest of any horse in the race, and only his second win.

Classic Empire returned $4.40 and $4, and 31-1 shot Senior Investment was another 43/4 lengths back in third and paid $10.20.

New York-based trainer

Chad Brown earned his first victory in a Triple Crown race. Castellano won for the second time.

He rode Bernardini to victory in the 2006 Preakness.

Castellano comes from a racing family, with a father, uncle and brother who have been jockeys.

“We’ve been working for a long time for this moment,” he said. “It’s great for the family.”

The 142nd Preakness had been billed as a match race between Always Dreaming and Classic Empire, and it was from the start.

They broke out of the

starting gate next to each other and the fight was on. Always Dreaming took a slight lead with Classic Empire on his flank.

Meanwhile, Cloud Computing was back in third as Castellano watched the duel unfold in front of him.

Always Dreaming was the first to throw in the towel, surrendering the lead to Classic Empire midway around the final turn.

Lookin At Lee, the Derby runner-up, was fourth.

Gunnevera was fifth, followed by Multiplier and Conquest Mo Money.

Hence was ninth and Term of Art last.

here and put up this kind of fight against a historically good West Lauderdale team — I’m just proud of them. I know they’re hurting right now.

I know it’s hard to lose a one-run game in a Game 3 like this, but I couldn’t be any more proud of a bunch of guys.

“We had our chances to win, but you can’t win at everything in life,” the coach continued. “You can’t win every game, but

these guys are still winners — they left it all out on the field.”

When asked about the set-up in the seventh with Knight on first and Crigger at the plate with no outs, Scarbrough said, “He (Crigger) was the coplayer of the year in 4A, the player of the year in our division, and I just told him, ‘If you wanna swing away, then swing away — just do whatever you think you need to.’”

Crigger ultimately fouled out to third on a bunt attempt leaving Knight at first. Knights relief pitcher Partridge then got Maness to fly out to left, and Lancaster to fly out to center to end the game.

“That showed just how selfless a team this is,” Scarbrough said. “He (Crigger) swung away the first time, but then tried to lay down the bunt. He just got too much on it, and the

ball was up. I’d give him the same chance again if I had to. He’s a really good player, and we wouldn’t be here without him.”

Corinth ends one of its most successful seasons in recent history at 29-10, while West Lauderdale finishes at 33-3.

Corinth didn’t win the gold glove, but they won a spot in the hearts of their fans and supporters. Congratulations to the Warriors on a superb season.

STATE CONTINUED FROM 10A

just the one run and had its chance coming to bat in the bottom half of the final inning.

But it wasn’t in the cards this time as Knight was stranded after his lead-off single, and West Lauderdale formed the dogpile that has become a tradition after winning a state championship at any level on the diamond.

“We thought the key

for us today was keeping their lead-off hitter off the bases because that’s when they come back to get you,” Scarbrough said.

“This time of year, it’s about making plays and getting two-out hits, and we didn’t do that every time we had a chance to.

“These seniors have worked their tails off.

You know Corinth hasn’t played for a state championship since 1956, so for our guys to come down

Think you’ve seen this on TV before? You’re right about it

BY LYNN ELBER, DAVID BAUDER AP Television Writers

NEW YORK — As broadcast networks rolled out their plans for next season this past week, those watching could be forgiven for pulling out phones and checking the calendar.

There’s the cast of NBC’s “Will & Grace,” ready to return. The folks at “Roseanne” are back on the couch. “Dynasty” and “S.W.A.T.” are coming back with new actors, the latter settling in to a CBS lineup that already boasts “Hawaii Five-0” and “Macgyver.” Just a year after its farewell season, “American Idol” will live again.

With cable and streaming services enticing viewers with bold work like “Game of Thrones,” ‘‘Stranger Things” and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” broadcasters entered a time machine in a quest to find something appealing.

The reboot of “Roseanne,” ABC’s hit 1988-97 comedy about a workingclass family led by Roseanne Barr, was that network’s big surprise.

“The Conners’ joys and struggles are as relevant and hilarious today

as they were then, and there’s really no one better to comment on our modern America than Roseanne,” ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey said.

CW President Mark Pedowitz said it was a “no-brainer” to order a remake of the prime-time soap “Dynasty.”

Much of the network’s target audience hadn’t been born when onscreen divas Linda Evans and Joan Collins engaged in catfights, as they were charmingly called back then.

Networks hope the reheated comfort food will appeal to those who remember the original shows as well as newcomers unaware they’re not seeing an original concept.

CBS Corp. Chairman Leslie Moonves, who called the “Roseanne” comeback a “stunt” in admiring fashion, suggested too much was being made of the trend. “When you look at the totality of what’s out there, it’s really a small part,” he said.

Fake news?

ABC’s decision to revive “American Idol,” likely in the mid-season, had other

Cryptoquip

networks rolling out the kind of rationalizations you’d expect to hear from rejected suitors. Producers offered it around widely before ABC bit.

Too expensive and too soon, rival executives said. The discussions were personal at Fox, where “Idol” made its original home. Fox executives said they spent millions of dollars promoting the show’s supposed last season just a year ago and that it would feel fraudulent to bring it back so quickly.

“We did not see the fan excitement and enthusiasm for the show to come back that (producers) Fremantle did,” said Dana Walden, chairman and CEO of the Fox Television Group. “We just had a different set of facts.”

The final frontier

Networks are wading more deeply into sci-fi and fantasy genres, aping the movie model that finds more reliable success with space and superhero sagas than untested themes.

“Marvel’s Inhumans” will air on ABC. CW is adding “Black Lightning” to a comic book-heavy schedule that already includes “The Flash” and “Supergirl.”

Jesse is a 2005 honor graduate of Kossuth High School and a 2010 graduate of Mississippi State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. He is presently employed with Kimberly Clark in Corinth.

Mr. and Mrs. Ross invite all friends and relatives of the couple to celebrate the joyous union of their daughter, Lauren with Jesse at 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 27 at Fillmore Street Chapel in Corinth, Mississippi.

The reception will follow at Hillandale Country Club.

After the honeymoon in Jamaica, the couple will reside in Corinth.

Poor Alicia Silverstone and Tom Everett Scott.

Between “Clueless” and “That Thing You Do!” they separately led two of the most charming and re-watchable all-ages comedies of the ’90s. Cut to 20 some years later and they’ve been relegated to the thankless task of playing the dopey suburban parents in “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul,” a deeply unfunny family road trip film that has gross out jokes to rival the R-rated “Vacation” remake.

What have they, or any of us, done to deserve this fate?

At least they’re spared having someone vomit in their mouths. This does happen to another character which director David Bowers films in slow-mo to truly give the mud-brown bile its full cinematic due. It’s not 3-D, but it might as well be.

This is technically the fourth “Wimpy Kid” pic, based on cartoonist Jeff Kinney’s popular books about an awkward middle schooler, Greg. “The Long Haul” reboots the series with a new cast (the original kids aged out of the roles), including Silverstone, Scott, Jason Drucker as the “Wimpy Kid” and Charlie Wright as his 16-year-old brother Rodrick, who all hop

Crossword

in the family mini-van, with their toddler brother Manny, to travel cross country to attend their Meemaw’s 90th birthday party.

And not only is the Heffley family stuck together for a 47-hour trek to Indiana, but Mom has banned all their devices (even Dad’s), and decided that they’ll rely on How to Speak Spanish CDs, the Spice Girls and a game called I Must Confess to pass the time, with stops at a roach motel and a country fair in between.

Greg has other things on his mind, though — namely how to become internet famous. He already is, but not in the way he’d like. At the start of the film, Greg inadvertently becomes a viral sensation after a restaurant full of people start filming him freaking out that a diaper he inadvertently pulled out of a ball pit is stuck to his hand.

He hopes to relieve himself of this infamy by being in a video with a PewDiePie-like gamer named Mac Digby, who will also be in Indiana at a convention “two inches away” from Meemaw’s on the map.

It’s an appropriately vulgar subplot for a story that seems more disdainful of the messiness of the family experience than celebratory of it. According to this movie, nearly everything about family life is a disgusting, dispiriting horror show from the dreary food to the painful company.

Book remains quirky Cinderella retelling for readers

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Geekerella” by Ashley Poston c.2017, Quirk Books $18.99 Sometimes – many times – you wish you had a magic wand.

You’d change your entire life, from your room to your wardrobe, your school to your love life.

Everything would be perfect forever but alas, there’s no such thing as a magic wand. Then again, as in “Geekerella” by Ashley Poston, dreams can come true.

Danielle Wittmer was sick of never-ending chores around the house but what was she gonna do? Since her father died and left her with a Stepmonster and two ugly-inside stepsisters, sixteenyear-old Elle didn’t have much say in how things were run.

Elle did the cleaning, the cooking, she did it all, but though Stepmonster Catherine could use up Elle’s free time, she couldn’t take away Elle’s memories.

Catherine couldn’t erase the time Elle spent with her dad or their love for the TV show Starfield.

Unlike so many of the things Elle’s father gave her through the years,

Catherine couldn’t throw out Elle’s memories of ExcelsiCon. Yep, Elle was practically born a Starfield fan and because her dad started ExcelsiCon, most of her childhood was spent with its actors and other fans.

She knew every episode by heart, word-for-word, scene-by-scene – which is why she was angry that the directors of the new Starfield movie hired Darien Freeman to play the handsome Carmindor.

Freeman was a teen soap opera star! He wasn’t Carmindor – he was totally wrong for the part! Fuming, Elle blogged about it before she went to work at The Magic Pumpkin, a greasy vegan food truck where life didn’t stink quite as bad as it did at home.

Darien Freeman didn’t want stardom. Not really.

He longed for his old life, when fan-cons were fun, fans were nice, and people didn’t blog bad things about him.

He told his manager, Mark (who was also his father), that he didn’t want to attend ExcelsiCon but once it was announced on national TV, Darien was stuck. All he could do was hope that his text-crush would be there.

He’d “met” her while

Olympus Digital Camera

looking for the phone number of someone at ExcelsiCon who could release him from that ridiculous obligation.

He’d never seen her face-to-face but he somehow knew her heart. To Darien , she was already magic…

Remember how, as a child, you were utterly captivated by the tale of a poor orphan girl and her

accidental path to Princesshood? That classic tale has grown up now, and “Geekerella” is pretty cute.

Gone are sewing birds and horse-drawn carriages.

The stuffy king is now a driven businessman.

Author Ashley Poston gives her heroine a Fairy Godmother with green hair and a carriage that

smells like grease, but the romance is still here: teen readers will be thrilled by a dashing (but secretly geeky) prince and they’ll love to hate the evil (but beautiful) stepmother.

Best of all, there’s a happily-predictably Happily Ever After here, and whether you’re twelve or

ninety-twelve, it’ll make you smile.

If a just-right ending is just-right for you, put “Geekerella” in your basket.

Go ahead.

You know you wand it.

Crowd-sourcing may bring transparency to medical charges

BY TRUDY LIEBERMAN Rural Health News Service

In a recent column I reported on an effort in Ohio to bring price transparency to medical services. Ohio state representative Jim Butler had spearheaded passage of legislation that would require healthcare providers including doctors and hospitals to disclose prices for their services.

The law was supposed to take effect last summer, but Gov. John Kasich, the Ohio Hospital Association, and other health groups that oppose transparency have stymied implementation. The governor’s budget for next year calls for repealing the law.

Ohio’s law may disappear, but the demand for information is not going away. Many readers are downright angry after trying hard – and unsuccessfully - to get information to make good medical decisions.

James Friesen, a lending officer at a bank in Kearney, Nebraska, told me when he wanted to

pay cash for a cardiac test his insurer wouldn’t pay for, he couldn’t find out the negotiated price his insurer had agreed to pay the hospital. Neither his insurer nor the hospital would say. “The doctor who ordered the test didn’t even know,” he said. “They intentionally keep patient consumers in the dark about pricing.”

When Naomi Johnson, a South Dakota retiree, tried to find out the price of a colonoscopy, she asked her insurer for the billing code the medical business uses to identify various procedures.

Johnson used that code when she called the health facility where the procedure would be performed and asked for the cost of a simple colonoscopy barring complications.

The facility told her they couldn’t even give her a ballpark number until after the procedure because there would be several codes for many different things. “They acted like I was insane for asking.”

A California woman,

Saskia Mills, told me getting an estimate for a simple outpatient procedure her family was paying for out of pocket was like “pulling teeth.” After more than 10 phone calls, they thought they knew they would have to pay $4,750 for the surgery and facility charges. The bill turned out to be $10,456, including $1,400 in pharmacy charges that were never mentioned beforehand.

Is this the patientcentered care healthcare executives claim they are providing?

Hardly. In reality it’s part of a process cooked up by doctors, hospitals, and insurers that keeps patients from learning how much they must pay and for what. It’s responsible for those undecipherable bills we all get.

As former New York Times reporter Elisabeth Rosenthal describes in her new book “An American Sickness,” the inability of patients to find out what their medical care charges will be stems

from a gigantic bill coding business that involves the health system’s biggest players in a game of oneupsmanship to make big profits. The codes determine what providers are paid. The more individual codes included in the bill and the higher levels of service a code specifies, the more money providers make.

There are tens of thousands of codes that have become increasingly specific, Rosenthal says. For example, there are different codes for earwax removal depending on the method used to remove the wax.

Furthermore, prices negotiated between insurers and hospitals are secret. A study commissioned by the New York State Health Foundation late last year found that contracts insurers negotiate with hospitals often say they can’t disclose the prices they’ve negotiated, such as listing those prices on their website.

If they do, hospitals can terminate their contracts

and refuse to accept the insurer’s patients.

No wonder patients are fighting back.

I checked in with Jeanne Pinder, who heads an organization called ClearHealthCosts, https://clearhealthcosts. com/ Its mission is to tell patients what their medical care costs. The organization now partners with media organizations in Miami, Tampa-St. Petersburg, and New Orleans and with MedPage Today.

It has also worked with news outlets in California and Philadelphia to publish prices of 35 procedures that consumers can actually shop for such as MRIs and mammograms.

ClearHealthCosts has just launched its latest site in New Orleans, and Pinder says, “Traffic is through the roof. People are sending us bills and calling us with horror stories.”

ClearHealthCosts uses crowd sourcing to build a community-created guide to health costs. Patients from all parts of the coun-

try send in their explanations of benefits, dates of their procedures, names of providers and insurers, and amounts they paid, which are posted on the news outlet websites.

They show wide variation in the price for the same service in a given area.

In San Francisco, for example, they found that an MRI of the lower back without contrast could cost as little as $475 or as much as $6,221 depending on where it was done.

Most patients would want to know that, but as the Ohio experience has shown, healthcare businesses and governments sometimes work together to keep prices under wraps.

“So many people have lost faith and hope that government regulators or industry will fix this problem,” Pinder says. “We are supplying the fix, and the fix is transparency.”

Professors rescue neon sign drawings

Davis honored Ethan Davis (right) of the Alcorn Career and Technology Center is honored among the state’s top career and technical education students at a recent awards ceremony sponsored by the Mississippi Construction Education Foundation. Recognizing him as a finalist for the organization’s northern district student of the year award is MCEF Chairman Josh McGee.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — They were just a bunch of old business records belonging to New Mexico’s oldest and largest sign-making shop, the last of the manufacturers from neon’s midcentury heyday.

No longer needed and deemed a fire hazard, the file drawers were moved outside and placed on pallets under a tree.

Ellen Babcock spotted them during one of her many visits to Zeon Signs as part of her interest in sign-making and the installation of public artwork on unused signs in Albuquerque.

Thanks to her curiosity, she was about to strike gold.

The University of New Mexico sculpture professor found hundreds of yellowing envelopes containing folded drawings of some of the memorable neon signs on Route 66, one of the first roads in the U.S. highway system.

It spanned more than 2,400 miles, from Chi-

cago to the West Coast.

The sketches detailed signage for gas stations, motels, burger joints, bowling alleys, dry cleaners and coffee shops. In some cases, they were the only records left of the beacons that lit the famous highway from the 1950s to the 1970s.

“Finely drawn and just gorgeous,” Babcock said of the first drawing she unfolded.

It was for the marque of a movie theater in the town of Grants, west of Albuquerque.

Aside from the sketches, the files included material lists, purchase orders and other correspondence between the designers and business owners who were looking to attract customers.

Babcock and Mark Childs, an associate dean and professor at the University of New Mexico’s school of architecture, turned the find into a book in 2016. New Mexico preservation officials last week honored them for their work to salvage the historic drawings.

The professors say the designs marked the beginnings of what would become touchstones for travelers and people who

lived along the historic highway, which crossed eight states.

“They were meant to be memorable in people’s minds,” Babcock said of the old signs. “They were shared icons, these shared images that bind a community.”

Some of the signs created by Electrical Products of New Mexico — now Zeon Signs — are still standing in Albuquerque, home to the largest uninterrupted segment of Route 66 left in an urban area. A few have been rehabilitated; many more are dilapidated and have long been dark.

Finding the sketches was a matter of serendipity, Childs said.

“They’re beautiful pieces, both for their original artwork and their sense of history, and I think they also represent from an urban design viewpoint a couple of different things,” he said. “One of them is

this idea that there can be playfulness, which in some times and some eras we don’t allow ourselves to think of that.”

Babcock and Childs spent a summer combing through the dusty files.

More recently, archivists at the university’s Center for Southwest Research finished cataloging the collection and placing the sketches in protective sleeves. Plans call for the collection to be scanned and made available online.

Babcock got to see the results of the library’s preservation work last week, acknowledging the sketches could have been lost forever had Zeon Signs decided to trash them after the fire marshal’s visit.

“I’m so glad I did this.

It was just out of whim, an impulse,” she said of opening that file drawer behind the old Zeon building.

Find the perfect, practical gift for grads What graduate doesn’t wish to find a new car with a big bow on top in the driveway? While it would be nice to begin a new phase in life with a fresh set of wheels, many gift-givers tend to lean toward more practical items when buying gifts for recent graduates.

Though they might not prove as flashy as a new car, the following gifts can still excite and help students who are going off to work or continuing their educations.

• Résumé service: In this competitive job market, individuals need to take advantage of every opportunity to stand out from the crowd.

Résumé rules have changed, and graduates will be best served by companies that know the ins and outs of writing effective résumés. Employers often use digital scanning software to sift through applicants, so knowing which keywords and tags to use can ensure a résumé gets noticed. Costs can range from $100 to $200, depending on the services desired.

• Electronics: Technology changes on a dime, and it benefits graduates to be equipped with the latest gadgets. A new tablet, laptop or desktop computer may make a great gift. If the price tag is a little high, consider pooling resources with other family members or friends and give electronics as a joint gift.

• Noise-cancelling headphones: A set of durable headphones to block out ambient noise may be helpful for graduates going on to college or post-graduate work. Grads entering the workforce can enjoy silence or music as they commute to their offices. These headphones also work well on flights, making them ideal gifts for new grads whose first jobs require a lot of travel.

• Home luxuries: Outfit soon-to-be college freshmen with some of the niceties of home.

Upgrade dorm furniture with accent pillows or a more comfortable mattress. Put together a luxury gift basket with a high-quality robe, electric razor, spa shampoo, and other toiletries.

• Travel tickets: Treat graduates to a trip away from home. Travelers often gain new perspectives and inspiration when visiting a city, state or country for the first time. Travel is good for future entrepreneurs and may help a person stand out in a long list of job applicants. According to Forbes.com, travel can help cultivate relationships outside of one’s existing network and provide ideas from others outside of graduates’ existing personal and professional circles.

• New wardrobe: Gift cards to retailers that specialize in business attire often make welcome gifts for new grads. Some students may

need to update their wardrobes so they can look more professional on interviews or at school networking functions.

• Luggage: A new suitcase or travel bag is quite handy for students studying abroad.

Choose durable luggage that can handle the rigors of travel so cash-strapped new grads have something they can rely on for years to come.

• Money: Money remains a one-size-fits-all gift that can be put to many uses. Invest in a graduate’s future by buying stock in a stable company, contribute to a college savings account or help grads begin paying back their student loans.

Options abound for displaying diplomas After all the pomp and circumstance of graduation festivities, graduates are left holding a highly symbolic piece of paper that has the potential to impact the rest of their lives.

Graduates can exhibit pride in their academic accomplishments by prominently displaying their diplomas in their homes.

The following are some ideas about how graduates can showcase their diplomas, whether those diplomas were earned in the recent past or decades ago.

Frames One of the more traditional ways to display a diploma is to have the document professionally mounted and framed under glass. Consider framing with UV-protective glass to prevent the diploma from fading through the years. Avoid having your diploma permanently affixed to the back of a frame or plaque so it can be removed should the frame or plaque become damaged.

Much like a cherished piece of artwork, diplomas can be displayed on walls in a home.

They can fit in well as conversation pieces in a sitting room, home office, hallway, or library setting.

Surround with molding Framed diplomas can be made to look more ornate when built into the design of the room.

Coordinate it with bookshelves

or molding laid out throughout the space. Some accent lighting can draw further attention to the document.

Bound books For those who would rather not display their diplomas on the wall, consider sealing the diploma in a photo album or have it classically bound in a decorative book.

Include photos of graduation or other special accomplishments

in one’s school or professional career to complete the book. The diploma also can be scanned and digitally reprinted before being added to a custom-made photo memory book, with the real document tucked away for safe keeping.

Personalized tables Work the diploma into home decor in another fashion. Graduates who do not plan on moving

the diploma can place it into a display case or in a glass peekaboo coffee table. It also can be affixed to a wooden side table and clear-coated so that it becomes another source of conversation in a sitting room.

Diplomas are hard-earned and worthy of display. With some creativity, grads can incorporate their diplomas into their home decor.
