2 men indicted in Swinney murder BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A year after a deadly shootout that police believe to be gang-related, an Alcorn County Grand Jury returned two murder indictments in the case. The two men indicted are Marcus McGaha, 27, and Cedric Gunn, 27. The grand jury re-
turned a two-count indictment for each suspect with one count of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. McGaha, whose last address on record was on North Johns Street, was already in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections at the Mississippi State Penitentiary on two sen-
tences for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Gunn, who previously had a Meigg Street address, had left the area. He was picked up in Reno, Nevada, based on the indictment and for a probation violation on local charges in Nevada. Extradition to Corinth is pending. After a long day of distur-
bances in the city on April 4, 2015, a chaotic scene at the Nashway Apartments resulted in the deaths of Ahmarus Rakim Swinney, 25, and Deonta Dwayne Herman, 22. Police initially found 79 rounds at the scene fired from at least four difPlease see MURDER | 2

Commercial zoning near Afton rejected BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Residents of the Afton subdivision in North Corinth won the sympathy of the Corinth Planning Commission on Monday as they said “not in my back yard” to a proposed commercial development. Before the commission was a request from Hill Brothers
Leasing Company to rezone 10 acres of property at the northwest corner of Mississippi Highway 2 and North Shiloh Road from R-1 residential to C-1 commercial. The commission voted unanimously not to recommend approval to the Board of Mayor and AlderPlease see ZONING | 2

Lawyer: Charge to be reduced
Tuesday, May 24, 2016
ZONING men. It goes to the city board on June 7. The 10 acres — part of a larger 20-acre parcel — was proposed to be divided into four 2.47-acre lots that would be put on the market. Approximately 1 acre between the site and Afton would be deeded to the homeowners association for additional buffer. “We are not here to do anything to jeopardize the value of the property in the Afton community,” said Gerald Hill, representing Hill Brothers, which is the developer of Afton. Hill Brothers has a substantial amount of property left for residential development in Afton and is a dues-paying member of the homeowners association. It would not make sense to do something to hurt their own investment, he said. Hill Brothers proposed to set restrictions in the property deeds that would prohibit “box buildings” and other types of undesirable development, but residents expressed concern that those guarantees might not hold over time. Residents are also concerned that businesses such as liquor stores and laundromats are allowed in C-1 zoning.
The commission received numerous written letters in opposition along with a large showing of residents at the meeting. Representing the homeowners association, Lee Childress said the overwhelming sentiment “is this is not what we are interested in having in our back yard. I’m not going to say that there could not be some type of agreement that was reached, but the issue that I still stand by is what is being asked for here tonight, which is C-1, and we are opposed to C-1 as it is presently written.” He also expressed concern about the entrance of the property, which would be in the area of the divided highway. It was suggested that the variance approach, one lot at a time, could be more successful for Hill Brothers. If the property remains zoned R-1 residential, a variance could be granted for commercial use, but it would only be for the specific purpose stated in the application. Hill Brothers is interested in seeing businesses such as a small grocery or bank on the property. Hill said he had told the homeowners association that the company would look to sell the land if the zoning change is not approved.
ble for graduation would be able to participate. As the NEMCABB area grew over the years and to allow more players the opportunity to participate, it was decided to expand to a pair of seven inning games in 1999 – one game for the 1A/2A schools and one for the 3A/4A/5A teams. In 2006, the rosters were expanded and the games went to nine innings. Corinth and Alcorn County will be hugely represented on Saturday. Former Biggersville High School player Will Lowery has been named the NEMCABB Coach of the Year in 1A. Kossuth mentor Josh Dowdy will receive the same honor in Class 3A. Kossuth’s Jacob Wilcher has been named the 3A Player of the Year. Alcorn Central’s coaching staff of Jarrad Robinson and Eric Lancaster will be charge of the East squad in the 3A/5A contest. Former Corinth player and current Boon-
eville head coach Kevin Williams will coach the West team in 3A/5A. Alcorn Central players Connor Lewis, Justin Pickle, Colton Howell and Saylor Gray will suit up for the East. Kossuth’s Wilcher, Hunter Swindle, Elijah Potts, Connar Boyer and Reed Mitchell are part of the West. Corinth Head Coach Rob Scarbrough and assistants Ben Cowart, Jordan Watts and Tony Hardwick will lead the East in the 4A/6A game. CHS players Quade Reaves, Noah Hill and Josh Casey are part of East unit. Following each game, a MVP, Best Offense, Best Defense and Memorial Award will be presented to a player from both the East and West team. The 3A/5A memorial award has been renamed the Riley Presley Memorial Award for the longtime Booneville High School football and baseball coach who passed away in December of 2015.

JACKSON — A defense attorney said Monday that he expects a Mississippi prosecutor to reduce the second-degree murder charge against a man arrested last week when his 8-month-old daughter died after being left in a hot car. Carlos Moore is the attorney for Joshua Blunt, 25, of Grenada, who is set to make an initial court appearance Tuesday. Moore said city prosecutor Jennifer Adams told him she would reduce Blunt’s charge to culpable negligence, which is punishable by
a maximum one year in prison. The maximum penalty for second-degree murder is life in prison. Blunt’s daughter, Shania Caradine, died Thursday. She was the second Mississippi child to die in a hot car within two weeks. No charges have been brought against a parent in the other case. Blunt was booked into the Grenada County Jail early Friday and remained there Monday under a $250,000 bond. Moore said he will ask a city judge to either reduce or remove the bond so Blunt could be released. Moore also said he will fight the reduced
charge. “He made a mistake,” Moore said. “It was a tragic mistake. It was a fatal mistake. But it was an accident.” Blunt went to work at a restaurant Thursday morning, then took a break to pick up his girlfriend and their baby, Moore said. Blunt took his girlfriend to work at a fast-food restaurant and was supposed to drop off the baby at his girlfriend’s mother’s house. “He intended to take the child to the grandmother’s house, but somehow he forgot,” Moore said. Blunt went back to work for about four
hours, and when he and a colleague went to his car, the colleague discovered the unresponsive baby in the back seat, Moore said. They took Shania inside the restaurant and put cool towels on her to await an ambulance that took her to the University of Mississippi Medical Center Grenada. Janette Fennell, founder and president of the Kansas-based KidsAndCars.Org, said that between 1990 and 2015, charges were brought in 45.5 percent of cases involving the deaths of children in hot cars in the U.S., and no charges were brought in 44.5 percent of cases.
Dance said it appears that Herman accidentally shot himself as he fled the scene. The bullet was on a downward trajectory, entering and then exiting his leg. “It appears as he was running and maybe trying to put the gun back in his waistband, the gun discharged,” Dance said. “It cut the artery in his leg and he bled out.” Herman was found behind the apartment complex with the gun under his body.
The other deceased subject, Swinney, appears to have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. “He just happened to walk up a few minutes prior to this shootout taking place,” said Dance. “He was actually sitting on a flight of stairs minding his own business and just happened to get caught in the crossfire.” Swinney was hit twice and died at the hospital. Of the initial suspects
in the case, one was later murdered in Marshall County, Dance said. The investigation is still open, and other arrests are possible. “It has been an ongoing investigation from day one,” said Dance. “Capt. Dell Green and his staff have done an outstanding job putting it together. We feel comfortable that we have two of the people involved in the shooting in custody and they will be brought to justice.”

ferent caliber weapons. Corinth Police Chief Ralph Dance said he knows it has been a long wait for the grieving families as investigators sorted out the challenging case. “There were people that were getting shot at that would not come forward and cooperate,” he said. “It made it very difficult to get to this point.” Based on the autopsy results and investigation,

who are tied to this case.” The enhancement increases the underlying charge by up to onehalf. A 10-year sentence could have another five years added. Law enforcement must show a gang connection, and the police department is already doing the legwork for future cases. “We are starting to identify gang members
in the city,” said Dance. It is one way the police department hopes to deter the increase in gang activity. “We’re trying to send a message to these gang members that we are no longer going to tolerate the activities they have been putting on — the shootings, the violence, the dope trade,” said Dance. “We are going to actively seek them out and ask the court to punish them appropriately.”

The board voted to add a third game last year. Jesse Bynum Field had been home to the NEMCABB All-Star Game for 25 years. The initial contest was played at the field on June 8, 1991. The game -- which was to be played at South Pontotoc in 1992 -- was such a success, Corinth was chosen to be the permanent site for the game. “It has always been in Corinth and it needs to stay here,” added Smillie. NEMCABB’s board of directors go all out in making the weekend a highlight for players. Each player on all six squads will be treated to a luncheon, T-shirt and plaque. The game came about
in December of 1989. While at a baseball clinic at Itawamba Community College, a group of Northeast Mississippi coaches discussed the idea of an all-star game to help expose more area players to both college and pro scouts. In the summer of 1990 while working at the same camp, the coaches put their idea into action by establishing the Northeast Mississippi Coaches Association for Better Baseball or NEMCABB. In trying to establish a consistent area to select players, it was decided to use the Tupelo Daily Journal coverage area as its boundaries. The area was divided into East and West using U.S. Highway 45 from the Tennessee State line to Shannon, and U.S. Alternate 45 from Shannon on south. Originally, 14 players and two alternates were chosen from each side (1A-5A) and only one nine-inning game was played. It was decided only seniors eligi-

Booneville Schools celebrate success in reading BOONEVILLE — The Prentiss County School District celebrated major success on the statemandated third grade reading test by honoring those whose hard work contributed to the positive results. The district ranked in the top 10 statewide for performance on the test. All third graders in the state took the exam this spring and are required to pass it, demonstrating they are reading at grade level, before they can advance to the fourth grade. Hills Chapel Elementary School was one of only eight schools across the state to have all students pass the test on the first try. Thrasher School achieved a 100 percent passage rate after the first retest opportunity last week. Baldwyn School District also saw significant success on the exam, achieving the state’s highest passage rate. The Prentiss County School Board recognized the district’s third grade reading teachers, tutors, interventionists and others who contributed to the success with a presentation of plaques and certificates prior to the start of Monday’s regular board meeting. District Curriculum Coordinator Kim Hamm said district officials are thrilled with the results because they show strong progress and a commitment by all involved to make sure students are ready to be successful as they move through school. “We were ecstatic with our scores,� she said. She emphasized success comes only through the hard work of everyone who comes in contact with the stu-
dents and said the district is filled with faculty members who go far beyond the call of duty because of a love for their students and a desire to ensure they succeed. Â

Items include: • A brochure which mirrors Pathway signage, identifies jobs, and education/training requirements and salary expectations within each career field • Student Bag for materials and information received during the event • Imagine the Possibilities Career Expo T-shirt In addition to the materials for each student, there are significant costs associated with the facility rental and supplies to make this event occur.

McNairy Co. Program to increase access to education McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has announced Advise TN, a program to increase the number of students accessing higher education by providing college counselors to 30 public high schools and
10,000 junior and senior students across the state this fall. The new initiative, administered by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC), supports the state’s Drive to 55 campaign to increase the number of Tennesseans with a postsecondary degree or credential to 55 percent by 2025. “As a result of Tennessee Promise, firsttime freshmen enrollment has increased 25 percent at community colleges. We are changing the conversation in Tennessee around going to college, and there’s more we can do,� Haslam said. “Research tells us that having a school-wide culture of college-going – of students knowing that college isn’t only an option for them but it’s an expectation – is one of the best indicators of whether students will pursue higher education. This program will provide schools across the state with one more adult in students’ lives, focused on helping them navigate the transition from high school to college.� Partner high schools will be selected through a competitive process based on a strong commitment to building a college-going culture. To be eligible for consideration, high schools must have a college-going rate that is less than the state average. College advisors are being hired and trained this summer and will be placed with partner schools in fall 2016. They will work alongside the school’s counselors, educators, parents and local partners to implement college-access best practices and foster the school’s collegegoing culture, devise creative approaches to reach and connect with students, and, most importantly, assist students and their families as they navigate the college-going process. Advisors will supplement, not replace, existing high school counseling staff. “Advise TN will complement the programs that have emerged statewide through the Drive to 55 by providing more resources, time, and individual focus to ensure postsecondary access and success,� THEC’s
interim executive director Russ Deaton said. “We are all looking forward to this expanded schoollevel collaboration and ensuring that Tennessee’s college enrollment continues to grow.â€? Â
Oxford Author plans to use time for latest novel OXFORD — Tom Franklin, a celebrated novelist and University of Mississippi associate professor of fiction writing, is a 2016 recipient of the Berlin Prize, which the American Academy in Berlin awards to scholars, writers and artists. The prize includes a semester-long fellowship in Germany. Franklin, who has taught at UM since 2003, is among 23 recipients of the prize and will begin his fellowship this fall. He will work on a novel, which is currently titled “Country Dark,� about a rural Alabama police officer named Rick Miller who mainly investigates farm-related crimes. While probing a strange animal death, Miller, who is referred to as “The Cow Man,� uncovers something entirely unexpected, including a connection to a cultish church with an interesting past. The Berlin Prize is awarded annually to artists, scholars, composers and artists from the United States who represent the highest standards of excellence in their fields. The prize’s fellowship includes a monthly stipend, partial board and accommodations at the academy’s lakeside Hans Arnhold Center in Berlin-Wannsee. The program is designed to allow recipients the time and resources to step back from their daily obligations to work on projects they might not otherwise be able to pursue. The fellows are urged to work with the academy’s network of professionals and institutions and create connections and lasting transatlantic relationships. The fellows will use public lectures, concerts, performances and readings, which take place at the academy but also throughout Berlin and Germany, to engage audiences.

Corinth, Miss.
Mayor’s races shaping up JACKSON — Campaigns are gearing up in some Mississippi cities, even though elections for mayors, aldermen and city council members are a year away in most places. Emily Jackson is likely to see one Wagster of the hardest-fought contests Pettus for chief executive. Two wellknown politicians, Robert Capitol Dome Graham and Chokwe Antar Lumumba, said last week that they will try to unseat first-term Democratic Mayor Tony Yarber, and more are likely to enter the race. Graham worked 35 years for the Jackson Police Department and has been a Hinds County supervisor since 2007. Lumumba is an attorney and son of the late Mayor Chokwe Lumumba, a human rights lawyer who served on the City Council before winning Jackson’s top job in 2013. The elder Lumumba died in February 2014 after almost eight months in office, and his son was among the candidates in a special election to fill the rest of the four-year term. Yarber, a minister and City Council member, won that race but has dealt with a plethora of difficult issues in the city of 171,000, including water-quality problems and aging infrastructure. In a city with a 79 percent black population, the winner of the Democratic primary is likely to win the general election for mayor. In Hattiesburg, Democratic Mayor Johnny DuPree has already said he intends to seek a fifth term in 2017 — and if that election cycle is anything like the last one, he won’t have it easy. After DuPree won the June 2013 election, Republican candidate Dave Ware challenged the outcome. A judge cited voting irregularities and ordered a new election in September 2013. DuPree again defeated Ware. During this term, DuPree has been sued by City Council members who said he was too slow to appoint a police chief and department leaders in the city of 47,000. Bill Luckett, the Democratic mayor of Clarksdale, told The Associated Press on Friday that he plans to seek a second term in 2017. He said tourism is thriving with travelers from Australia, England and other countries who are seeking an authentic Mississippi Delta blues experience. “We’re continuing to enjoy downtown revitalization and rejuvenation,” said Luckett, an attorney who co-owns a blues club with actor Morgan Freeman. Luckett lost the 2011 Democratic primary for governor to DuPree, but he won all four wards in the 2013 city election. He is an anomaly in Mississippi politics — a white mayor in a city with a 79 percent black population. Former state Rep. Chuck Espy told the AP in a separate interview Friday that he hasn’t ruled out running for mayor of Clarksdale next year. He lost to Luckett in the 2013 Democratic primary in a race to succeed his father, Henry Espy, who was the city’s first black mayor and served 28 years. “I have a lot of soul searching to do and a lot of talking to do with the people of Clarksdale,” said Chuck Espy, who served 16 years in the state House and chose not to seek another term in 2015. “Whoever is elected, they have to listen and hear the 80 percent of African-Americans that live in town,” Espy said of the mayor’s contest. “That 80 percent has not been heard.” Luckett countered: “I don’t ever look at race. I try to be fair to everybody.” He removed the Mississippi flag from Clarksdale City Hall last July, saying he believes its Confederate battle emblem is divisive. Although he has been criticized by flag supporters, Luckett said last week he wishes he had removed it sooner.

Prayer for today My Lord, my life makes me conscious of weakness, and my memory brings regret; forgive me for the lost strength I neglected to develop. In thy compassion encourage me to be more watchful of my power, that I may usefully increase it, and not willfully deplete it. May I learn the need of constancy in welldoing. Amen.
A verse to share But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin. –Micah 3:8
Tuberculosis still a scourge in Mississippi STARKVILLE — In writing a book about the beloved broadcaster Jack Cristil five years ago, I learned more about tuberculosis than I ever thought I would and in the process, I learned that the although the disease has been in steady decline for a number of years, health care professionals still worry about TB making a comeback around the world and in Mississippi. Cristil, a heavy smoker from the days of his youth in Memphis until his death in 2014 in Tupelo, was never afflicted with TB. But the disease still scarred his life and deeply impacted the life of his father, Benjamin Cristil. Jack Cristil’s relationship with his father was complex. Benjamin Cristil contracted tuberculosis soon after his marriage and was sent to a sanatorium in Denver, Colorado, for treatment. The elder Cristil would make a few trips home to visit his wife and children, but he spent the majority of Jack’s life battling tuberculosis before his death in 1939 when Jack was but 13 years old. The Mayo Clinic defines tuberculosis as “a potentially serious infectious disease that primarily affects your lungs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from person to per-
son through tiny droplets released into the air through coughs and sneezes.” Sid Salter In the late 1800s and Columnist into the first half of the next century, tuberculosis was a widely misunderstood and feared disease that was commonly called “consumption” because of the nature in which the disease “consumed” its victims through weight loss, fever, night sweats and “frequent bloodtinged sputum.” Victims of tuberculosis were feared as carriers and referred to through the term of derision “lungers.” Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the 19th century. While family records are unclear as to the exact date that Benjamin Cristil began his treatment in the Denver sanatorium, there is little doubt where Cristil received his treatment. By virtue of his Jewish faith, his humble economic circumstances and his growing family, it’s almost certain that Benjamin Cristil first received his sanatorium treatment at National Jewish Hospital in Denver – a project that was funded by the national Jewish organization B’nai B’rith.
A September 2004 study by the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment documents the opening of the National Jewish Hospital in Denver in 1899 as the “first sanatorium in the state (of Colorado) and perhaps in the country that was dedicated to treatment of indigent TB patients. Its motto was “None May Enter Who Can Pay – None Can Pay Who Enter.” National Jewish primarily accepted “incipient” TB cases or those who were likely to recover, according to the 2004 Colorado DPHE study. Yet both of Jack’s sisters, Zelda and Miriam, remembered that letters from their father in Colorado and the return mail to him from their home in Memphis bore the address “Spivak, Colorado” that was the location of the Sanatorium of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society that was founded in 1904 by Dr. Charles David Spivak, a Russian Jew, to accommodate the many Jewish consumptives who did not seem likely to recover but had nowhere else to go. Jack Cristil was a small boy during these years, and his memories were scant of the specifics of his father’s illness. “All I know is that he spent five or six years in a sanatorium in Denver,
Colorado, and that he died there,” said Jack. “They shipped his body home on the train.” The elder Cristil died July 18, 1939, at the age of 51 and was interred in the historic Baron Hirsch Jewish Cemetery in Memphis. Hasn’t TB been cured? While the disease had declined, it still threatens us in Mississippi. In 2014, the TB case rate declined from 3.02 to 2.96 per 100,000 persons, representing a 2.2 percent decrease from 2013. In Mississippi, the rate declined to 2.47 per 100,000 persons. In the long run, TB has declined among blacks and whites in the state, but there has been a spike in the incidence of TB among African Americans since 2013. In 2015, Mississippi had 74 cases of TB – and 19 or 24 percent of patients were white, 51 or 69 percent were black, and five or seven percent were Asian. In Mississippi, the highest TB case rates in 2014 were in Pontotoc, LeFlore, Yalobusha, Yazoo, Hinds, Adams, Jefferson, Walthall, Lawrence and Greene counties. Over half the state’s counties had no reported TB cases. (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
Museum is big step in right direction The Delta can capitalize on music tourism. The new Grammy Museum in Cleveland is a big step in that direction. The $20 million, 28,000-square-foot museum opened in March with two dozen exhibits and a 130-seat theater. Each month the museum, located on the Delta State University campus, brings Grammy winners to host a lecture. It’s a great cultural attraction. Legendary sound engineer Geoff Emerick was in Cleveland last weekend. My friend Scott Coopwood, publisher of the Cleveland Current, the Delta Magazine and the Delta Business Journal, invited Ginny and me up for a reception at his house for Geoff. Even though we had planned to go to JazzFest in New Orleans that weekend, we couldn’t pass this up. Parties are always great in the Delta. I am a Beatle Baby from way back and Geoff shares my last name. I have always felt very fortunate to have grown up with the Beatles. I can remember being a fan at age 6, when we gathered around a record player and listened to “Meet

the Beatles” until the vinyl was scratched beyond audibility. I was 9 Wyatt when “Sgt. Emmerich P e p p e r ’ s L o n e l y Columnist Hearts Club Band” was released. That’s an extremely impressionable age. As a young teen, I was lead guitarist for a local band, the Cairo Speed Limit. We once were featured on a local TV station in Houston, Texas, where I lived at the time. There were only two stations back then, which made us quite famous in the neighborhood. We played many Beatles songs. So how cool to hang out with Geoff Emerick, who won a Grammy for producing “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Abbey Road.” I hung out with a guy that hung out with the Beatles. Only one level of separation. It’s like a bucket list item was checked. As sound engineer, he was like the fifth Beatle, working day-in and day-out for months at a time as they
wrote, re-wrote and edited their songs. The first album Emerick worked on was “Revolver” with its famous track “Tomorrow Never Knows.” It was Emerick’s innovation to record John Lennon’s vocal through a Leslie speaker on that song to get the ethereal sound Lennon wanted. At one point, in “Benefit for Mr. Kite,” Emerick cut pieces of tape with scissors, threw them up in the air and then spliced them back together to get the carnival like atmosphere John Lennon wanted. Geoff said John was both the most moody and the Beatle with the best sense of humor. Paul was the most outgoing. George and Ringo were far more quiet, as John and Paul were doing most of the composition. Now living in Los Angeles, Emerick has led a very fruitful and productive career in sound engineering. In 2006, he released his book “Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles,” which has been critically acclaimed. After the party at the Coopwoods, everybody headed to the ultimate juke

joint, Po’ Monkey’s in Merigold. Scott put together a makeshift band that included Roger Fisher, songwriter and lead guitar player for the famous band Heart. Our musical weekend continued as the family headed down to JazzFest in New Orleans the next day. I was looking forward to hours and hours of great music, great food, great people and sunshine. As it turns out, a flash flood shut down the show as soon as we got there. Fortunately, I had brought pocket ponchos for everybody and we were not totally soaked. The fairgrounds became a total mess of mud. Hotel Indigo is brand new and funky in the heart of the Garden District. It was a joy to watch 14-year-old Ruth and her friend Tatum enjoy their first fondue at the Melting Pot. It was a nice night in the Garden. The next day, more torrential rains. The handful of fans who stuck it out were treated to two hours of Neil Young with distorted guitar riffs ending every song. Into every life a little rain must fall. There’s always next year.

Book offers quirky characters and affecting story BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“Britt-Marie Was Here” by Fredrik Backman c.2016, Atria Books $26.00 / higher in Canada 336 pages “Hey! Look at me!” You spent a fair amount of your childhood hollering that. Watch me. Look here. See what I’m doing, because nobody likes to be ignored. In fact, as in the new book “Britt-Marie Was Here” by Fredrik Backman, being invisible is the worst thing of all. Civility is dead. Britt-Marie feared that was the case these days. In civil households, silverware is stored forksknives-spoons in the drawer. Windows are clean, clothes are pressed, dinner is at six o’clock and not a minute later. These things are important. She said that to Kent many times throughout their marriage, and he laughed. She also asked him repeatedly to put his dirty shirt in the hamper, but he always tossed it on
the floor instead. It usually smelled of pizza and perfume. Britt-Marie didn’t wear perfume. Much as she loved her husband, Kent didn’t appreciate her. Britt-Marie wasn’t sure he even saw her anymore and so, deciding to leave him, she applied for a job. It had been decades since she’d done anything but keep a home and jobs were scarce, but there seemed to be one position for which she was qualified. And so, Britt-Marie went to work as a temporary recreation-center caretaker in Borg, a dying village alongside a halfabandoned road a few miles from town. There was a pizzeria in Borg, an Everything Store, and a post-office, all in the same building, run by a wheelchair-bound woman who drank too much. The village boasted a policeman, a man who received constant packages, a sight-challenged woman with a dog, and a soccer pitch, to which the village’s few children
flocked. Soccer was everything in Borg – mostly because there was little else. Britt-Marie hated soccer. She hated her predicament, too, but someone had to clean the rec center. Someone had to give the kids somewhere to go, and step up as “coach” for their soccer team. Eventually, someone had to look at Britt-Marie and really see her… What kind of a book do you have when you spit your coffee halfway across the table on page 6 and cry a little, fifty pages later? A really good one, that’s what. Put this wonderful novel in your hands, and “Britt-Marie Was Here” will slyly tickle your funny-bone, while author Fredrik Backman simul-
taneously wrings your heart out with both fists. Hilarious and wrenching: it’s that way, partly because of the story itself and partly because of the phraseology used to tell it. Readers won’t have to try hard to love the title character in this book, either; Britt-Marie is proper to a fault, but for a most painful reason, and Borg’s feisty misfit residents are perfectly created for her. Those who’ve come to love Backman’s quirky characters, in other words, won’t be disappointed at all. “Britt-Marie Was Here” should be your Book Club’s next pick. It’s the novel you’ll carry around because you can’t bear to quit it. If you love a tale that will leave you happysighing, it’s most certainly the book you should look for.
“Young man,” Judge Runyon intoned in a stentorian voice that, I imagined, had been the death knell of many ne’erdo-wells now rotting in the state penitentiary, “you are a disgrace to your family, this city, and the university. How do you plead?”
Prolonged period in the pokey BY JIMMY REED Columnist
I wish Dad had caught me swiping his pistol; he didn’t. It was a beauty, a Military High-Standard .22 caliber. All I wanted to do was “borrow” it so that I could enjoy slaughtering rats with a bunch of other gun-loving students at the garbage dump located several miles from the small town that was home to the university we attended. We’d meet late in the day, about the time the rats began their nightly forays among the putrefying flotsam, and hide behind a clump of bushes within pistol range of our victims, the population of which could only be described as swarming hordes. We took turns shooting and kept score, determined by such things as how many misses we registered, how many clean kills we scored, and how many rats we wounded that were able to drag away, only to be feasted upon later by their fellow garbage gastronomes. It was great fun while it lasted, which was almost the whole semester, but finally someone reported us. As I pulled into the dormitory one Friday night, a waiting policeman searched the car and found the pistol. Instead of showering, slipping into fresh duds and picking up my girlfriend at the appointed time, I was handcuffed and carted off to jail. The next morning, I had a visitor — the Dean of Men! “I’ve arranged your release, but you’ll stand trial for unauthorized possession of a firearm. Furthermore, I called your father, and he is absolutely furious.” Mama’s phone call didn’t help. “Son,” she wailed, “Your father and I saved for years to pay for your education, and now the Dean informs us that
you’ve repaid our efforts by killing rats instead of studying.” In line with several hardened hoodlums, I entered the courtroom to stand before The Honorable Ruth Runyon, known as “Ruthless Ruth.” Sitting between Dad and the Dean, I agonized while Ruthless meted out harsh sentences to my predecessors. Then the bailiff called my name. “Young man,” Judge Runyon intoned in a stentorian voice that, I imagined, had been the death knell of many ne’er-dowells now rotting in the state penitentiary, “you are a disgrace to your family, this city, and the university. How do you plead?” In a barely audible voice I whispered, “Guilty.” The fine was bad enough — repaying Dad would require a summer of slaving in his cotton fields, but the judge saved the double whammy for last. “The pistol you stole from your father has been permanently confiscated.” Dad went livid. It had been one of his prized possessions since his World War II service. Outside the courthouse, Dad said to the Dean, “Sir, if you choose to let my son remain at the university, that’s your business. I’ll say this, though. Had the judge chosen to return my pistol and had she sentenced this rat-killing thug to do time for a gun crime, you wouldn’t have to choose. He’d be headed for three ‘hots’, a cot, and a prolonged period in the pokey.” (Editor’s Note: Oxford, Mississippi resident, Ole Miss alumnus, Army veteran, and retired Mississippi Delta cotton farmer Jimmy Reed (jimmycecilreedjr@gmail.com) is a newspaper columnist, author, and college teacher.

Officer cleared of charges in Freddie Gray case The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Prosecutors are 0-for-2 in their attempts to hold Baltimore police accountable in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray after an officer was acquitted Monday in the racially charged case that triggered riots a year ago. A judge cleared Officer Edward Nero of assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct, concluding that Nero played little role in Gray’s arrest and wasn’t responsible for the failure to buckle the black man into the back of the police van where he suffered a broken neck. Upon hearing the verdict, Nero hugged his attorney and appeared to wipe away a tear. Nero’s lawyers said he and his wife and family are “elated that this nightmare is finally over.” “The state’s attorney for Baltimore City rushed to charge him, as well as the other five officers, completely disregarding the facts of the case and the applicable law,” they said in a statement. Prosecutors had no comment; they are under a gag order.
Nero, who is white, was the second of six officers charged in the case to stand trial. The manslaughter case against Officer William Porter ended in a mistrial in December when the jury deadlocked. Prosecutors plan to retry him in September. Trial No. 3 — that of van driver Caesar Goodson, who prosecutors believe is most culpable in Gray’s death — is set to begin in two weeks. He is charged with second-degree murder. David Weinstein, a Florida attorney and former federal civil rights prosecutor who has been following the case, said the verdict will probably serve as a “wake-up call” for prosecutors. “This speaks to the notion a lot of people had when this first happened, which is that it was a rush to judgment,” Weinstein said. “The state’s attorney was trying to balance what she had with the public outcry and call to action given the climate in Baltimore and across the U.S. concerning policing, and I think she was overreaching.” Gray died April 19,
2015, a week after suffering a spinal injury in the van while he was handcuffed and shackled but not belted in. His death set off rioting, looting and arson that prompted authorities to declare a citywide curfew and call out the National Guard to quell unrest in Baltimore for the first time since the riots that erupted in 1968 over the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Gray’s name became a rallying cry in the growing furor over the deaths of black men in clashes with police. Nero, 30, waived his right to a jury trial, choosing instead to let Circuit Judge Barry Williams decide his fate. The assault charge alone carried up to 10 years in prison. “The state’s theory has been one of recklessness and negligence,” the judge said. “There has been no evidence that the defendant intended for a crime to occur.” Nero remains on desk duty and still faces a departmental investigation that could result in disciplinary action. About a dozen protest-
ers gathered outside the courthouse as the verdict was read, but they were far outnumbered by members of the media. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake noted the departmental review and pleaded for calm. “We once again ask the citizens to be patient and to allow the entire process to come to a conclusion,” she said. “In the case of any disturbance in the city, we are prepared to respond. We will protect our neighborhoods, our businesses and the people of our city.” Gray’s family settled with the city for $6.4 million in September. An attorney for the family, Billy Murphy, said they respected the verdict, and he commended the judge for resisting “enormous pressure” and showing “tremendous courage in ruling against public opinion.” Some legal experts said the judge’s ruling was so narrowly tailored — and the facts so different from those of the other defendants — that it provides little guidance to what could happen in the upcoming trials. Baltimore defense at-
torney Warren Alperstein, who watched the trial, said Nero wisely elected a non-jury trial, because a judge is more capable of applying complex issues involving the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The van driver, though, should put his fate in the hands of a jury, because “when you’re facing a murder charge, as Goodson is, you do not want to put all your eggs in one basket,” Alperstein said. On the morning of April 12, 2015, Lt. Brian Rice was on patrol in a high-crime neighborhood when he made eye contact with Gray and Gray ran away. Rice called for backup, and Nero and Officer Garrett Miller responded. According to testimony, Miller jumped off his bicycle, caught up with Gray and put him in handcuffs. Gray was placed in the back of the van, seated on the bench. A few blocks away the van stopped, and Rice and Miller took Gray, who police said had been kicking, screaming and shaking the van, out of the wagon, placed him in
leg irons and replaced his metal cuffs with plastic ones. The officers, with Nero’s help, loaded Gray back into the van, sliding him in his belly, headfirst. Nero’s attorneys said Nero touched Gray only twice — first to help him up from the ground after he had been handcuffed and was asking for an inhaler, then to help put him back in the van. After Gray was taken into custody, police found a knife on him. But the judge did not allow testimony about the weapon. Prosecutors argued that police had no probable cause to arrest Gray. But the judge said that Nero was not involved in the arrest, so the question of whether it was improper was irrelevant. Tessa Hill-Aston, president of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP, said officers’ failure to see that Gray was buckled in “speaks to a lack of training.” “That’s where the system failed Freddie. Because everyone is passing the buck on who is supposed to strap him in,” she said.
Sanders criticizes Obama administration’s Puerto Rico plan The Associated Press

Three Things the Devil Wants To Do!
In this article we want to direct the attention of the reader to three things that the devil wants to accomplish in this world. Keep You Out of the Church First, the devil wants to keep every responsible soul out of the church. There are many reasons for this. The saved are in the church. He does not want you to get in with the saved. While you are out of the church, you are unsaved, and well does the devil know this. If you are ever saved, at that moment the Lord adds you to the church. (Acts 2:47.) “And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” The devil is not going to allow you to be added to the saved if he can help it. The blood of Christ is in the church, his body. The devil does not want you to come into the church, because that is where the cleansing blood of Christ is. The church has been purchased with the precious blood of Calvary’s Lamb. (Acts 20: 28) Well does the devil know that it takes the blood of Christ to wash away sin. And he further knows that this blood is in the church, and that it is not reached out of the church. Christ shed his blood in his death. We are baptized into his death. (Rom. 6: 3-5) Get You Back Into the World If the devil does not succeed in keeping you out of the church, then he will do everything he can to get you back into the world after you have gone into the church. And how many times he is successful in this undertaking! Paul wrote of one of the brethren after this fashion: “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world.” (2 Tim. 4:10) What caused Demas to forsake Paul? It was the love of the present world. It will do it every time. “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James4:4.) Render You Worthless In the Church If the devil cannot succeed in keeping you out of the church or in getting you back into the world, he will do everything within his power to render you useless and worthless in the church. Every Christian is a branch. Christ is the vine. The branch must abide in the vine and bear fruit. If not, it is taken away. “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” (John 15:2.) “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2 Cor. 5:10) “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” (James 2: 24) How does the devil render Christians useless and worthless? He has many and devious devices. He would like for the members of the church to be spiritually ignorant and satisfied. So many refuse to study. They are ignorant. Many are rendered worthless to the cause of Christ because of being stingy and covetous. A covetous person is the most unlike Christ of any mortal. Others get to be chronic critics and grouches. Nothing is right with them. The church is going to the devil, etc. And still others become adept at making excuses. An excuse maker is never a worker for the Lord. Others are rendered worthless by hypocrisy. The Lord adds to THE church the saved. Read Act 2:36-47. Welcome.
says the House bill to create a control board and allow some restructuring of the U.S. territory’s $70 billion debt would make “a terrible situation even worse.” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Obama administration are supporting the Republican legislation, which is scheduled for a committee vote this week. Sanders said the bill would empower an “unelected and undemocratic oversight board” and criticized the legislation for allowing the governor of Puerto Rico to cut the minimum wage temporarily for some younger workers. “We must stop treating Puerto Rico like a colony and start treating the American citizens of
Puerto Rico with the respect and dignity that they deserve,” Sanders wrote. Sanders is trailing Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the presidential primaries and Clinton has outperformed Sanders among Latino voters. Both are competing in the June 5 Puerto Rican primary. In a statement last week, Clinton said she has serious concerns about the power of the control board but believes the legislation should move forward, or “too many Puerto Ricans will continue to suffer.” So far, Sanders’ opposition hasn’t swayed Democrats who are supporting the bill.

lawmakers backing Sanders’ presidential bid, is the top Democrat on the House committee that will consider the legislation. His office reiterated his support for the deal after Sanders sent the letter Monday. Grijalva “understands that there are Democratic concerns with the bill, but he’s been very involved with the negotiations over these past few months and understands that this bill is a compromise,” said spokeswoman Diane Padilla. Padilla said it’s not the bill Grijalva would write, but the Treasury Department “has reassured him that it’ll help get the people of Puerto Rico back on their feet, which is what he ultimately wants.” Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, who was also involved in negotiations, has called the legislation a “fair, but tough bipartisan compromise.” Puerto Rico, which has struggled to overcome a lengthy recession, has missed several payments to creditors and faces a $2 billion installment, the largest yet, on July 1. Two government agencies have been under a state of emergency, and the economic crisis has forced businesses to close, driven up the employment rate and sparked an exodus of hundreds of thousands of people to the U.S. mainland. Sanders’ opposition could cause more problems in the Senate, where one lawmaker can slow a bill’s progress. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid had no immediate comment on Sanders’ letter. Senators have said they are waiting to see what happens in the House
before they consider a bill, so it could be weeks or months before the chamber takes up the issue. Sanders has been largely absent from Senate proceedings during his lengthy primary campaign. In his letter, Sanders warned that the control board would have the power to cut the budget, slash pensions and take other measures. He notes that most of the control board would be chosen by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He noted that unions have opposed the bill, due to the minimum wage provision and a proposed suspension of the Obama administration’s overtime rules for the island. Sanders said the legislation “looks out for the needs of Wall Street vulture funds first and foremost.” Bondholders, including hedge funds, have lobbied to make sure the legislation ensures their rights as creditors are held up by the control board. Republicans say the legislation would force the control board both to honor creditors and find a way to pay for government pensions, which have been underfunded by more than $40 billion. Ryan has strongly supported the bill, saying it is the only way to avoid an eventual bailout of the territory. Puerto Rican officials are more in line with Sanders. Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla said last week the bill isn’t “consistent with our country’s basic democratic principles.” He wants a less powerful board that can’t fully control the island’s finances.

Ex-lawyer and son dead after shooting CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A retired Chattanooga attorney and his son are dead in what authorities are calling a domestic incident. Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies tell local media that 82-year-old Glenn Copeland was shot by his son Steven Copeland on Sunday at his Chattanooga home. Glenn Copeland was taken to Erlanger Hospital where he died. Shortly after the shooting authorities found Steven Copeland dead of a gunshot wound at a house nearby. He was due in court this week on driving and DUI charges following an arrest earlier this year. Authorities say there are no more suspects and that the public isn’t in danger.
Flight diverted after woman becomes ill WILMINGTON, N.C. — Officials say an international flight was diverted to North Carolina after an elderly woman on board became ill. Airport deputy director Gary Broughton told news media outlets that the LAN Airlines jet flying from Ecuador to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York was diverted to Wilmington International Airport just before 4 p.m. Sunday. Broughton says the 90-year-old woman suffered a heart problem and was taken to a hospital for treatment. There was no word on her condition and she wasn’t further identified. Broughton said after the diversion the plane continued to JFK.
Trump meets with Tennessee senator NEW YORK — Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump met with Bob Corker in New York on Monday, intensifying speculation that the U.S. senator from Tennessee may be on Trump’s vice presidential shortlist. Speaking to reporters following the meeting, Corker described the get-together at Trump Tower in Manhattan as “a meeting between two people who didn’t know each other except over phone calls getting to know each other.” He said he has no reason to believe he’s being vetted as a potential Trump running mate or for a Cabinet position should Trump win the general election. “I have no reason whatsoever to believe I am being considered for a position like that,” Corker told reporters who pressed him about various possible positions. Corker is currently the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He also serves on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. In a statement, Corker’s chief of staff Todd Womack said the pair had “had a good meeting...in which they engaged in a wide-ranging policy discussion.” Corker praised a highprofile foreign policy speech that Trump delivered in Washington last month, saying in a statement that “in a year where angry rhetoric has defined the presidential race on both sides of the
aisle, it is my hope that candidates in both parties will begin focusing not only on the problems we face but on solutions.” He said he believed the speech “could be an important step in that direction.”
Planned Parenthood employees treated SARASOTA, Fla. — Hazardous materials teams found unidentified chemicals inside cleaning closets at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Florida on Monday after the clinic sent seven staffers who were complaining of breathing problems to a hospital for evaluation, police and clinic officials said. A total of 42 people were evacuated at 10:45 a.m. and people were decontaminated at the scene, Sarasota Police Department spokeswoman Genevieve Judge said in a news release. At the moment, there is no criminal investigation, Judge said. Planned Parenthood spokesman Andrew Taverrite said no patients were onsite. The workers were expected to be allowed back into the clinic later Monday, Judge said. The clinic provides family planning services, preventive health care, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, and abortions. Planned Parenthood is a national target because of its role as the largest U.S. abortion provider. Last year, edited videos were released purporting to show Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissue for profit. The organization has denied the allegation. Two anti-abortion activists were indicted in connection with making the videos.
Alabama alderman shot in South Africa BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A city council member from Mobile, Alabama, was hospitalized in stable condition Monday after he was shot in the face while traveling in Johannesburg, South Africa, a family representative said. Councilman C.J. Small Jr. was shot on Saturday when someone ambushed a tour bus on which he was riding while visiting the country, a statement from his family said. The statement said Small and others aboard the bus were robbed of cellphones and other belongings. Tiffany Williams, who described herself as a friend of Small’s family, said Small was expected to recover from the injury. “They have not changed his status in the hospital,” she said in a telephone interview. “He is still listed as stable.” It was unclear when Small would be able to return to the United States, Williams said. Small, who has served on the council since 2012, owns a mortuary and traveled to South Africa for a mortician’s convention. His family said it was working with the U.S. Consulate in Johannesburg and the secretary of state in Washington. Embassy spokeswoman Cynthia R. Harvey, in a statement emailed to The Associated Press, said U.S. officials in Pretoria were aware of reports that a U.S. citizen was the victim of a carjacking on Saturday
in Johannesburg. She declined further comment, citing privacy considerations. Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson sent a message on social media Sunday saying he learned that Small had been injured. “Based upon what we know about his condition, I encourage everyone to pray for his full and complete recovery,” Stimpson said in a tweet.
Man runs 10,000 consecutive days SAUGUS, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who made a resolution on Jan. 1, 1989, to run every day is still going strong — 27 years later. Saugus resident Lenworth “Kip” Williamson recently ran for the 10,000th consecutive day. The 57-year-old General Electric Co. engineering manager tells The Daily Item of Lynn that he remembers reading at the time that if you can do something for 21 days, it becomes a habit. He said 1989 was a mild winter, which helped him as he is a strictly outdoor runner. Williamson sticks to the streets, regardless of the weather, and puts in at least 3 miles a day. At least once a week, he puts in a 6- to 8-mile run. He says as long as his legs work, he will continue running.
‘Shield’ actor’s trial begins in California LOS ANGELES — A murder trial began Monday for an actor who played a police officer on TV and is accused of shooting and killing his wife while their young children looked on two years ago in their Los Angeles home. The trial of 53-yearold Michael Jace, who appeared on the FX series “The Shield,” promises to explore unanswered questions about what led to the killing. Few details about the slaying have been released, although a prosecutor has said the actor shot April Jace in the back and then again while their young children watched. The actor then called a police dispatcher and said he had killed his wife, authorities say. A recording of the call has not been released. Jace also phoned his father-in-law to pick up the children, according to another 911 call released by fire officials. Jace has pleaded not guilty and his attorneys have said his state of mind on the day of the killing will be a key element of his defense. Jury selection began Monday, with a judge telling 70 prospective jurors about Jace’s work as an actor and noting the case has received some publicity. The trial is expected to last a week. April Jace, 40, was a financial aid counselor at Biola University and had two sons with the defendant. The boys were 8 and 5 when she was killed. Her family called her death a senseless act of domestic violence. Neighbors described the actor as a doting father and said they never saw or heard signs of trouble from the family home in the Hyde Park neighborhood. A prosecutor has said there was no evidence of previous domestic violence by Michael Jace.

Cheating hearing set for principal JACKSON — A hearing to suspend or revoke a Clarksdale elementary school principal’s teaching license is scheduled to begin Monday. The state teacher licensure commission will examine whether Heidelberg Elementary School Principal Lowanda TylerJones helped orchestrate cheating on state standardized tests in 2013. Previously an elementary school teacher, TylerJones was named Heidelberg’s principal in 2012. Test scores rose sharply, and those increases were flagged by the state as statistically unlikely.
Bystander shot near convenience store GULFPORT — Police say a shot fired during a fight outside a Gulfport convenience store struck a bystander who they say was not part of the fight. Sgt. Damon McDaniel with the Gulfport Police Department tells The Sun Herald the man, who is not yet identified, is wounded, but the injury isn’t life-threatening. McDaniel says the shooting happened at 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Kangaroo gas station on U.S. Highway 49.
Spectator accused of heroin transfer OSYKA — A woman who allegedly tried to pass off a bag of heroin to a Pike County jail inmate inside a courtroom finds herself in jail. The Enterprise-Journal
reports 28-year-old Carrie McClendon, of McComb, was arrested in Osyka Municipal Court Thursday and charged with possession of a Schedule I controlled substance. Pike County Sheriff’s Department Chief Investigator Greg Martin said McClendon allegedly brought heroin in her purse to the courthouse. He said inmates being held at the Pike County jail on charges from Osyka had been taken to court there, and McClendon had apparently tried to give the drugs to one of them.
April casino revenue up along coast, river JACKSON — Gamblers lost more money at Mississippi casinos along both the Gulf Coast and Mississippi River in April. Figures released Friday by the state Revenue Department show casinos won $181 million in April, up 2 percent from $177 million in April 2015.
Gamblers lost $98 million at the 12 coastal casinos, 3 percent more than last April. It’s the ninth increase for coastal casinos in the last year. The 16 Mississippi River casinos won $83 million, up 1 percent from April 2015. The increase could indicate that the long slide in river casino revenues is bottoming out.
Drug courier admits helping deliver meth GULFPORT — An Oklahoma man has admitted he was acting as a drug courier when he and two others brought about 26 ½ pounds of crystal meth to Mississippi. The Sun Herald reports 27-year-old Refugio Garcia De Lira, of Tulsa, pleaded guilty to interstate travel in aid of drug racketeering enterprises Thursday in U.S. District Court in Gulfport, Mississippi. Judge Sul Ozerden set a sentencing date for Aug. 29.

TV cord
cutting
TV cord-cutting is accelerating. Top cable and satellite TV providers lost about 540,000 subscribers over the past year, more than double a year ago, according to Leichtman Research. That’s despite the growth of U.S. households. While it’s a blip on the 94.2 million people who get service from the top 13 providers – about 95 percent of the market – the story of decline remains intact: Young people increasingly aren’t signing up for service, older people are cutting back and online alternatives grow every day. AT&T didn’t help by choosing to emphasize its
newly acquired satellite business DirectTV over its traditional wired U-Verse TV service. It’s trying to save money by pushing U-verse customers to DirecTV, but that’s resulted in a combined loss of 779,000 subscribers. Meanwhile, satellite rival Dish is no longer chasing low-value customers, causing more subscriber losses. While cable companies scooped up some of the spillage by offering attractive bundles with broadband Internet service, if it weren’t for Dish’s online Sling TV offering nearly quadrupling to 665,000 subscribers, the traditional pay TV providers would look even worse.
TV subscriber change The number of subscribers of the top 13 pay TV providers fell more quickly in the first quarter than a year ago.

Eye on DSW Shoes and accessories retailer DSW delivers its latest quarterly results today. Financial analysts expect that the company’s fiscal-first quarter earnings declined from a year earlier, despite an expected pickup in revenue. DSW is coming off a tough fourth quarter that saw its profit cut by more than half. Still, DSW made headway online after it introduced a buy online and pick up in store program.

Some people like dogs, others don’t WIZARD OF ID

PICKLES
Dear Annie: We live in a friendly town. Yet, we have some residents who are terribly disrespectful people of other people’s property. We’ve had dogs and love dogs, but we would never think of taking our dog to our neighbor’s lawn to do its duty. We’ve consulted several experts and they all say that the dog’s urine can cause brown spots on the lawn. We even paid to have new sod put in. We’ve asked people not to do this, but the minute our back is turned, they ignore us. We aren’t allowed to put up “No Dogs Allowed” signs, so that doesn’t help. But we have a number of dog parks these folks can use instead of our lawn. Apologies to those dog owners who do the right thing, but how do we get inconsiderate dog owners to behave? — Totally Confused Dear Confused: Dogs “mark” their territory and if they have used your lawn in the past, they are likely to make a beeline for it again. Are there laws in your “friendly” town that prohibit dogs from using private lawns? If so, report each incident to the police. Another option is to go outside whenever you see someone
Annie’s Mailbox coming with their dog and not leave until the owners pass by completely. However, you can’t always be there each time, so here are some other suggestions: Spray a diluted mixture of cayenne pepper (or ammonia, vinegar or citrus) and water on your lawn, or look for a commercially available dog-repellant spray. Get a motion-activated sprinkler. Build a fence. We hope one of these works. Dear Annie: My child died recently. My friends tell me they don’t know what to say. I don’t know which is worse, someone who says something inappropriate or someone who says nothing. I know how they feel. I used to be someone who didn’t know what to say to a person whose loved one had died. I shudder to think of how often I might have said something inadvertently hurtful or remained silent because “they might be having a good day and I don’t want to ruin it for them.” I have news for people — you can’t ruin our day.
Mine was ruined the day my child died. When you say nothing, it makes us feel that our loved one’s life was insignificant. But this person was important to us. This person mattered. Here is my advice for what you can say: “I’m sorry about your loss.” Include the person’s name or their relationship if you can. Whatever your version of “I’m sorry,” be it in the form of a hug or in words, is perfect. That’s it. That’s enough. It doesn’t matter how the person died. However, if you have an anecdotal story about this person, please share it. We love to hear stories about our loved one. Send a text. If there is an online tribute to this person, sign it. Also, cards are wonderful. I don’t know what is the statute of limitations on expressing condolences, but we are still receiving cards months after the event, and they are still comforting. The family holds these things close. We are struggling to put our lives back together without this person in it. — Sad Dear Sad: If you haven’t already done so, please contact The Compassionate Friends (compassionatefriends.org). Our deepest condolences on your heartbreaking loss.

Funding for cancer sufferer seems brazen to co-worker D E A R ABBY: A coworker has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She’s not Abigail sure how she Van Buren long may have. She is relaDear Abby tively young, so it’s tragic. We have excellent insurance from work, national health care and disability insurance. Another co-worker sent out an email with a link to a crowdfunding site as well as an invitation to a party selling products. The proceeds will be donated to fulfilling a “cancer bucket list,” which includes pampering, trips and other luxuries. I sympathize with anyone having a terminal illness, but why does that mean I have to give money? Do they have a right to be pampered on other people’s dime? This kind of fundraising, without real financial need, seems to happen often: Coworkers who have had accidents, fires, unexpected or stressful incidents all have office collections set up, even when they are fully insured and the damage is covered by their policies. A friend (or Human Resourc-
es) contacts everyone who has had even a passing interaction with the individual and solicits donations. I am happy to write letters and notes to people I know are having a hard time. I visit with closer friends and may bring a meal or flowers to their home. But people I’ve spent only a few hours of my life with asking for money for luxuries seems nervy to me. Am I a tightwad, or is a financial donation necessary to express condolences? -- TIGHTWAD IN CANADA DEAR TIGHTWAD: Because you receive a solicitation does not mean you are obligated to respond to it. (Unless the “solicitor” is holding a gun, in which case I would advise you not to argue.) Whether to make a donation for something like this is your CHOICE, and if you choose not to join in, you should not feel -or be made to feel -- guilty if you decline. DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married in June. Her father -- my ex -- has let her know she must invite his new wife’s parents to the wedding. They are drinkers, and have in the past been very rude to my daughter. She has no relationship at all with them and doesn’t want them at her wedding.
She is aware that this will cause hard feelings with her stepmother and her father. My soon-to-be son-in-law called me asking for advice. I said maybe they should be invited to keep peace in the family, but my daughter is very upset at the idea of having these people around on her “special day.” A ny advice? -- WEDDING INVITE IN WISCONSIN DEAR WEDDING INVITE: Your ex-husband’s new in-laws are not related to your daughter and do not appear to have made an effort to befriend her. Because of that, I see no reason why they “must” be invited, unless your ex is footing the bill for the wedding. If this is the case, and the wedding is a large one, the couple could be seated “in Siberia,” which might be a less than satisfactory, but workable, solution. (Why they would insist on coming under these circumstances, I can’t say, but some people will do almost anything for a free dinner.) Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s time to convince the childish part of yourself that your higher-minded self is worthy of just as much respect as the other authorities in your life and then a whole lot more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in a position to be a tiebreaker; however, it is very likely that you will see both sides of the argument and agree with neither. Don’t vote just because they ask you to. There has to be another answer. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re learning the intricacies of an existing power dynamic. What will it take to become so selfsufficient you no longer have to deal with this? Someone is going to be put in charge of you, so it may as well be you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The work doesn’t have to be pretty; it just has to get done. Make this your mantra when too many ultimately meaningless details call out seductively to you like sirens on the rocks.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a genuine respect for younger people, as you see the unique creatures they are -- better equipped for the future than anyone before has ever been. Older people also have your admiration and loyalty, in a different way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are sacred places in the world that are kept secret from people who wouldn’t understand them. Your humble spirit will ingratiate you somewhere that a proud attitude would never be invited. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one is the same in every situation. You’ll be around a person who brings out a rarely seen side of you and shows you something about your potential that you didn’t realize before. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are many ways to get attention. People around you now seem to be pulling out all the stops to get yours, some by being attractive and successful, others by being loud and needy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your instruction will be valuable help. You’ll also be excellent at matching individuals to the jobs they are best suited for and the people they are most compatible with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t assume you’re being understood or even heard. You may be surprised at what people are taking away from your conversation, and unless you check in and ask for feedback you won’t really know. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The funny people in your life are probably about as high-maintenance as they are intelligent -- and so worth every ounce of attention you pour into the relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, waiting for it to come together can be anxiety-provoking. The more you learn about what’s involved in a production, the easier it will be to flow with the timing of it.

Bulldogs make dramatic rise Associated Press
Mississippi State won the Southeastern Conference regular-season title one year after finishing in the league basement. Now the Bulldogs want to carry the momentum of that dramatic rise into the postseason. Mississippi State (40-14-1, 21-9 SEC) enters this week’s Southeastern Conference Tournament as the No. 1 seed after winning its first regular-season league title since 1989. The Bulldogs had gone 24-30 overall and 8-22 in conference play in 2015
to finish last in the Western Division and post the SEC’s worst overall league record. Bulldogs coach John Cohen, who played for Mississippi State’s last SEC regularseason champions, said there isn’t much of a gap separating the top of the conference from the bottom. “If you’re an inch off in the Southeastern Conference, you’re going to get punched in the mouth a lot,” Cohen said. SEC Tournament play begins Tuesday in Hoover, Alabama. No. 6 seed Vanderbilt (41-15, 18-12) faces No. 11
seed Missouri (26-29, 9-21), No. 7 seed Mississippi (4016, 18-12) meets No. 10 seed Georgia (27-29, 11-19), No. 8 seed Kentucky (32-24, 15-15) battles No. 9 seed Alabama (31-24, 15-15) and No. 5 seed LSU (39-17, 19-11) tackles No. 12 seed Tennessee (2927, 9-21) in single-elimination games. Tuesday’s winners advance to double-elimination play beginning Wednesday along with Mississippi State, No. 2 seed South Carolina (4213, 20-9), No. 3 seed Texas A&M (41-13, 20-10) and No. 4 seed Florida (44-11, 19-10).
The tournament returns to a single-elimination format Saturday and has a championship game Sunday. Mississippi State made its dramatic rise up the standings by getting improvement from its new players and receiving a huge impact from its newcomers. Mississippi State’s three top batting averages are owned by freshman Jake Mangum (.427) and junior-college transfers Nathaniel Lowe (.359) and Jack Kruger (.358).

Mangum wins Ferris Trophy Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi State freshman outfielder Jake Mangum has won this year’s Ferriss Trophy, which is given to Mississippi’s top college baseball player. Mangum, of Pearl, becomes the first freshman to take home the award in its 12-year history and is the fifth Mississippi State player to receive it. Mangum finished the 2016 regular season leading the Southeastern Conference in batting with a .427 average. That number is good for third in the NCAA and is first among freshmen in the entire country. Mangum bested four other finalists, including teammates junior pitcher Dakota Hudson and junior outfielder Reid Humphreys. Other finalists were Ole Miss outfielder J.B. Woodman and Delta State outfielder Will Robertson. The award is sponsored by C Spire Wireless.

The West team won the fourth annual Northeast Mississippi Football Coaches Association (NEMFCA) All-Star Game by a score of 31-0 at Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Tiger Stadium.
All-Star game ends in shutout BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information
BOONEVILLE — The West evened the series in the Northeast Mississippi Football Coaches Association (NEMFCA) All-Star Game with a 31-0 decision over the East during the fourth edition of this event. The contest was held on the campus of Northeast Mississippi Community College for the third consecutive year with a nice crowd of approximately 750 fans at Tiger Stadium. The designated visiting team on the scoreboard wasted little time in taking the lead. Jack Wilson of East Webster High School raced 58 yards down the home sideline on the West’s second play from scrimmage. Choctaw County High
School’s Danny Woodard capitalized on the lengthy run one play later with a twoyard scamper into the end zone to place the West ahead 7-0 with 7:41 remaining in the opening quarter. The East’s defense made several key plays to stay within one score of the West in the first half. Northeast signees Jaylon Ewing of West Point High School and J.T. Loving of Shannon High School stopped a fake field goal attempt by the West well short of the first down marker. A mishandled snap in the red zone was recovered by Itawamba Agricultural High School’s Tray Miller of the East squad midway through the second quarter to halt another scoring opportunity for the West.
Turnovers were the demise of the East in the second half. They had miscues on their initial three possessions of the third period, including fumble recoveries by Coco Bays of Winona High School and Falkner High School’s Dillon Davis plus an interception by Grenada High School product D’Alforne Burt. The West transitioned those mistakes into 10 points. East Webster’s Tyler Cosby connected on a 30yard field goal while Wilson’s one-yard quarterback keeper pushed the West ahead 17-0. A little trickery helped the West extend its advantage just before the conclusion of the third. Running back Jaalen Thomas caught a lateral pass and then found fellow Calhoun City High School teammate Jyair
Pierce for a 32-yard touchdown. Thomas completed the scoring for the West with a 42-yard pass to Woodard with 4:39 left in the matchup. He had 102 passing yards in relief of Wilson during the final period. Wilson, who led East Webster to the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 2A championship contest last fall at the University of Mississippi’s Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, was named the Offensive Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the West with game-highs of 18 rushes and 123 yards.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Texas A&M’s Boomer White is the Southeastern Conference baseball player of the year and Florida’s Logan Shore is pitcher of the year. The SEC also announced Monday that Mississippi State’s John Cohen was coach of the year, Mississippi State’s Jake Mangum was freshman of the year and Tennessee’s Derek Lance was scholar-athlete of the year. The awards were selected by a vote of league coaches. White has a .486 on-base percentage and 88 hits to lead the SEC in both categories. Shore is 10-0 with a 2.33 ERA. Mangum leads the SEC with a .427 batting average. Cohen led Mississippi State to the SEC regular-season title. Lance owns a 3.90 grade point average as a kinesiology major.
Green, Westbrook swap barbs over fouls Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Draymond Green knows who is responsible for his kick to the groin of Thunder center Steven Adams: Russell Westbrook and the rest of the NBA stars who get to the foul line with a whole lot of salesmanship. Green’s kick felled the 7-foot, 255-pound Adams during the second quarter of Golden State’s Game 3 loss to Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals on Sunday night. Westbrook later said Green kicked Adams intentionally — and that didn’t go over well with the Warriors’ standout. “There are multiple plays where I did Please see BARBS | 13

Plenty of hot topics around the SEC Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Southeastern Conference coaches and athletic directors will convene next week with familiar topics on the agenda, including football recruiting in general and satellite camps in particular, along with strengthening men’s basketball across the league. The much-publicized issue of camps clearly isn’t dead, though the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in April scrapped a proposal from the SEC and ACC to ban them. The board also gave the Division I Council until Sept. 1 to make
initial recommendations on the entire college football recruiting model, satellite camps included. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said Monday the league’s position remains that “recruiting should be done within the recruiting calendar established by the NCAA. Widespread satellite camps are not part of that recruiting calendar.” And clearly the issue will be a hot topic once again at next week’s SEC spring meetings in Destin, Florida. “The concerns are still there,” Sankey said in an in-
terview with The Associated Press. “When it was a relatively small practice, it was fine. Some will argue that there’s a lot of instruction and development that occurs. Well, that may be true in some cases. But when I talk to our coaches who now have 10-15 calls a day, it starts to become an unhealthy activity. “And it really is about recruiting. I’m hoping that if the solutions are identified by Sept. 1. We’ll certainly talk about different strategies next week that are attentive to the full scope of issues here.” The camps got more atten-
tion last summer when Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan staff held camps in the South. Harbaugh and other coaches say satellite camps provide opportunities for un-recruited athletes to be noticed by highprofile coaches and possibly receive scholarships. The SEC maintains they’re recruiting tools, and Sankey said he’d welcome discussion about extending the spring evaluation period if that’s the camps’ purpose.

centage, Mangum leads the Bulldogs in on-base percentage (.479) and Lowe has a team-leading 47 RBIs. “Those are all three new guys who have just had great first years,” Cohen said. “That’s not common in the Southeastern Conference.” Cohen also led Kentucky to a regular-season title in 2006 and is the second coach to win an SEC regular-season championship at two different schools. Ron Polk led Mississippi State to four SEC regular-season championships before winning one at Georgia in 2001. Here are some things to watch in the SEC tournament. FIGHTING FOR POSITION: The top SEC teams already are assured of NCAA Tournament invitations but are trying to improve their positioning. Florida, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Ole Miss, LSU and Vanderbilt all would like to be considered as regional hosts and/or national seeds.

ing .500 in conference play during the regular season. The two teams face each other Tuesday. “You’ve got to win this game, you’ve got to get to the double-elimination part, you’ve probably got to beat (Mississippi State) on Wednesday and build those RPI points,” Henderson said. Gaspard said that “the winner of that game is going to have a whole lot more comfort after it and the loser is going to be sitting home on pins and needles for a week.” DOMINANT GATORS/TIGERS: LSU has won five of the last eight SEC tournaments. Florida won last year’s SEC Tournament and also earned the title in 2011. WHO’S SURGING: Mississippi State is on an 11-game winning streak. LSU had won 11 in a row — including two straight victories over Florida — before losing its regular-season finale to the Gators. WHO’S MISSING: Auburn (23-33, 8-22) and Arkansas (26-29, 7-23) had the SEC’s two worst conference records and consequently didn’t make the 12-team tournament field. With its losing record, Arkansas also is expected to miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2001.

Tias Hilliard of MHSAA Class 5A state runner-up Oxford High School received Defensive MVP honors for the victors while Okolona High School’s Josh Ford won the same award for the East. NEMFCA officials unveiled two new scholarship awards that represent outstanding sportsmanship and leadership in honor of late coaches Joe Horton of Tippah County and Riley Presley of Booneville. Loving and Woodard were the inaugural recipients of these prestigious honors.
Four individuals were enshrined into the NEMFCA Hall of Fame prior to kickoff. Among the second-ever class of inductees were coaching legends Jimmy Dillinger (Baldwyn), Darrell Logan (Bruce), Bob Monroe (Tupelo) and Tommy Morton (Pontotoc). The NEMFCA All-Star Game splits teams based upon the location of their high school either east or west of U.S. Highway 45 from the Tennessee state line to Shannon and U.S. Highway 45 Alternate to the junction of U.S. Highway 82. The West has captured two straight triumphs and held the East scoreless for six quarters in a row. The two units are tied 2-2 in the all-time results, which dates back to the initial matchup in 2013.

man and South Carolina President Harris Pastides said that camps are part of that recruiting review and “we share the council’s interest in improving the camp environment.” In other words, there remains room for debate and perhaps change. Sankey certainly doesn’t feel the issue is closed. “If you look at what the board of directors said in its press release, that language from the board agreed with our position, just not that outcome,” Sankey said. “Which seems to raise the issue of why do we have a rule in men’s basketball that we pursuing in football around non-institutional camps. It wasn’t about geography. “We’ve never once complained about individuals coming in and recruiting. You know what, on an ad hoc basis somebody will say, ‘We don’t want them stealing our kids.’ But they say that about each other in our league. It’d be nice if we’d keep all of our players but I don’t think anybody’s under the notion that that’s realistic.” Other issues on the agenda will include: ■ Time management: The power 5 conferences delayed action on several proposals limiting time

The SEC had also sought a rule preventing football teams from holding practices during spring break — less than a week after Harbaugh said on national signing day that the Wolverines would practice in Florida over spring break. Sankey said he’s spoken to athletes at all 14 SEC schools over his first year as commissioner to learn about their schedule demands. Spring meetings, he said, will “be our first deep dive with our coaches, with our athletics directors and our presidents with that.” ■ Men’s basketball. It’s a chance for new SEC consultant Mike Tranghese, a former Big East Commissioner, to address the coaches and athletic directors collectively. “I think part of Mike’s message is, ‘We’re really close,’” Sankey said. “If you look over time, I think any conference has an ebb and flow competitively.

GENEVA — FIFA has fired its finance director of the past 13 years, removing another fixture of the Sepp Blatter presidential era in another round of revelations about irregular million-dollar payments. Markus Kattner’s exit on Monday came after he spent several months in his highest profile role at the scandal-rocked world soccer body — as its interim top administrator promoting FIFA’s wish to change its tainted culture even as his links to other investigations added up. FIFA said Kattner was fired after an internal investigation said he allegedly broke his legal responsibilities to the organization “in connection with his employment contract.” The 45-year-old German official was due payments worth millions of dollars over a six-year period from 2008-14 from additions to his contract, a person familiar with the FIFA investigation said Monday. The extra payments were known to then-President Blatter and then-
secretary general Jerome Valcke, Kattner’s immediate boss in that period. “We don’t yet understand why these payments were made,” the person said on condition of anonymity as details of the investigation are confidential. “These contract provisions were not known widely and not to the appropriate officers at FIFA.” It is unclear if the contracted payments which came to light last week could form part of a wider investigation of criminal mismanagement at FIFA conducted by Swiss federal prosecutors, who opened proceedings against Blatter last September. “We are not in a position to determine the legality of the contracts,” the person said, adding that “the appropriate authorities are aware of the issue.” United States federal prosecutors — who have indicted and taken guilty pleas from more than 40 soccer and marketing officials, plus marketing agencies, in a sprawling bribery probe — have said they are monitoring FIFA’s commitment to genuine reform under President
Gianni Infantino, who was elected in February. FIFA’s ethics committee is likely now to open an investigation against Kattner, with charges of conflict of interest and disloyalty to FIFA among potential outcomes. An emailed request for comment from Kattner was not answered. Kattner joined FIFA as director of finance in 2003 from the McKinsey consultancy firm, where he worked with the former FIFA president’s nephew, Philippe Blatter, on a project advising the soccer body. In 2007, Kattner got the deputy secretary general title after Blatter hired Valcke for the top administrative job. Kattner was promoted in an interim role when Valcke was suspended last September for financial wrongdoing and then fired in January. “Markus Kattner has been dismissed from his position effective immediately,” FIFA said in a statement Monday. “FIFA’s internal investigation uncovered breaches of his fiduciary responsibilities in connection with his em-
ployment contract.” FIFA has already announced that United Nations official Fatma Samoura of Senegal is due to start work next month as the new permanent secretary general. Kattner’s alleged wrongdoing came to light last Friday, the person with knowledge of the latest investigation said, one week after Samoura’s hiring was announced by Infantino. Kattner was at FIFA headquarters on Monday before his firing was announced. His exit is unconnected with the timing of Samoura’s hiring and expected arrival at FIFA, the person said. “This is based on documentary evidence that is information which emerged in the last three days,” the person said, stating that no whistleblower was involved in revealing the case. FIFA is being subjected to an internal investigation led by lawyers it retained from U.S.-based firm Quinn Emanuel, which is working separately from investigations by federal prosecutors in the U.S. and Switzerland.
Flagrant 1 foul and Adams later noted that Green had kneed him in the same spot during Game 2. The defending champion Warriors trail 2-1 in the series and were waiting to find out if they will play Game 4 on Tuesday night without their All-Star forward if the NBA deems the play worthy of a suspension. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he needs Green at his best when he returns. “He needs to refocus a little bit,” Kerr said. “He’ll admit it. It was not one of his best games — in fact, it was one of his worst. The great thing with Draymond is he always turns it around. He’s one of the great competitors that we have in the league, that we have on our team. When things aren’t looking great, he usually plays his best.” Kerr knows Green might have made himself a target for the officials. “Does he have to be careful? I guess,” Kerr said. “Now, people are watching for him or whatever. He’s just going to play, he’s going to be himself, and we’ll see what happens.”
Green insists the hit that sent Adams to the floor wasn’t that big a deal. “I can see how somebody can think it was intentional, but yet nobody can go in my head and say, ‘Draymond was thinking about kicking him and he kicked him,’” Green said. “If you watch my reaction, I walk back to the three-point line, clap everybody’s hands, turn around and look like, ‘What’s the dude on the floor for?’” Green scored six points, made 1 of 9 shots and committed four turnovers in a game to forget. Normally one of the league’s best defenders, he was beaten numerous times individually by the Thunder, and the Warriors were outscored by 43 points with him on the floor. With the crowd booing loudly every time Green touched the ball, he couldn’t make plays to shut Thunder fans up. “That’s what was frustrating to me,” he said. “I was just bad. I missed a couple easy ones and it just kind of killed my whole game. That was pretty frustrating, especially with all the
boos, because I love boos and it usually helps me play well. It was frustrating that I couldn’t get it going.” Green has been below his standard throughout the series. He’s averaging 13 points on 37 percent shooting in the series, and just 5.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists. In the regular season, Green averaged 14 points on 49 percent shooting, 9.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists. Warriors guard Stephen Curry expects Green to improve. Green bounced back after a poor Game 3 in a first-round loss to Houston to post 18 points, eight rebounds and six assists in a 121-94 victory in Game 4. “He’s mentally strong, so nothing that happened last night is going to affect Game 4 except light a fire probably,” Curry said. “You can look at trends and all that. In the Houston series, he was able to understand what he needed to do differently. He’s a very smart guy. He has a great eye for the game. I think it matters to him a lot to have an impact on the game. He’ll find a way.”
