‘Bring Down the Giant’ Saving Abel video takes stand against bullying BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — A white limousine pulled up to the entrance of Alcorn Central High School as a day of music video filming began. The luxury ride didn’t carry the rock stars Saving Abel. Instead, it served as a prop for the opening of the video to new single “Bringing Down the Giant,” in which an endless stream of students will emerge from the limo, clowncar style. Students lined up to slide across the limousine’s back seat, jump out the door and head towards the school entrance. After the first runthrough, the director found the students a bit too wellbehaved. “This time, you’re gonna act like real kids with the goofiness and the silliness,” he said. After getting his picture taken with lead singer Jared Weeks, sixth-grader Bradlee Bingham was among the group of students who participated in the opening scene and another scene in which a small group of students talk about bullying and respect. The student said he is a fan of the band. “Especially the song that we’re doing [the video] to,” he said. “I just listened to it the other day, and I loved it.” Students and school staff approached the band members for autographs and photos. “I’m proud of you,” Middle School Principal Dan Burcham told Weeks, giving him a pat on the back. “Good job.” The band invited students from all area schools to participate in the video shoot. The school district agreed to the shoot after band co-founder Jason Null pitched the idea just 10 days earlier. “Looking back on all this, this place is what made me who I am,” said Weeks, a 2001 ACHS graduate. “It feels good to come back home and have something to show these people and bring them in as a part of it.”

Service honors those who gave all BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Mississippi’s highest ranking military person will help American Legion Post 6 remember those who died while serving their country. Maj. Gen. Augustus L. (Leon) Collins will be the featured speaker for the Memorial Day Service set for 2 p.m. Sunday at the Corinth National Cemetery. “Leon is as good as gold,” said Post 6 member Gary Briggs. “It is an honor to have him and we are expecting a crowd between 300400 people.” Collins is the adjutant general of Mississippi and also serves as the commanding general of both the Mississippi Army and Air National Guard. He is responsible for the providing the state and the United States with a ready force of more than 12,275 citizen soldiers and airmen. Sunday’s event will also consist of a wreath-laying by the Daughters of the Union Veterans President of Camp 2 Sarah Anderson. The patriotic events begin Saturday with the placing of around 7,000 flags on graves by local Boy and Girl Scout troops at 10 a.m. Following the placement of the flags, the troops will be taken back to the American Legion and observe a retirement ceremony of tattered flags. “That’s something they (Scouts) requested to be,” added Briggs. “It will teach them the proper way a flag needs to be retired.”

The theme of the video is a community coming together to take a stand against bullying. “What we wanted to do is bring all of the schools together, because we’re bigger in numbers,” said Weeks. “We’re standing up for something that we’re not going to take anymore. Bullying is not cool.” The single is out now, and the album of the same name will be released July 17. “I think this is one of our best albums,” said Weeks. “We went back to our grass-

Special trip to Disney begins Saturday BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The long hours of raising funds are over. Now comes the fun. Over 60 combined specialneeds children from Corinth and Alcorn County along with their chaperones are leaving Saturday morning for the trek to Disney World in Orlando, Fla. “This has been a blessing,” said one trip chaperone Whitney Black. “It’s good to know that good people are still out there.” The group will be leaving Saturday at 7 a.m. from Tate Baptist Church en route to the home of Mickey Mouse. “Anyone who would like to come see the kids off are more than welcome,” said chaperone Jennifer Taylor who is making the trip with her sister, Brandy Ashe. “It’s going to be a life-changing experience for these kids.” Havis Hurley started organizing the trip for the special needs children in November.

FARMINGTON — A couple of property owners are under orders to clean up in the City of Farmington. The owners of property at 37 County Road 233 in Timberling Hills and 14 County Road 118 have received notice that improvements are needed. A woman who is purchasing the County Road 233 property, described as the Reeves property, appeared before the Board of Aldermen Tuesday to update them on progress with transfer of the property. The city wants the exterior cleaned up and the house secured so that children cannot go inside. The buyer said the house also needs much interior cleanup. The board gave a continuance and asked the owner to continue to make progress. The board also gave a continuance on the County Road 118 property, which has been mowed. In other business: ■ The board approved Police Chief Tony Holmes’ request to designate as surplus and donate a 2005 Impala to the City of Iuka for the Iuka Police Department, which is facing a serious vehicle shortage, Holmes said. Iuka is also looking at purchasing another vehicle from the city. ■ Aldermen approved advertising for bids for Farmington Water Association’s Rock Hill waterline Please see PROPERTY | 2A

roots on this one and ended up bringing out banjos, mandolins and jaw harps. We even played a blow jug on this album. We kind of brought it back home to where we grew up playing guitar on the front porch. I think that helped us with the creative process because we got back in our comfort zone and expanded from there. I’m super excited about it.” He said the 13 songs are a versatile bunch that in-

cludes a Christian song, ballads, pop, and a number called “Do It Again” that will be released to country radio. The band vaulted to success in 2008 with the single “Addicted,” a huge rock radio hit that reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Weeks said a lot of hard work paid off for the band. “A lot of people think

musicians just go out there and party 24-7,” he said. “It turned out to be a lot more work than I thought. When we first started, it was really overwhelming. We all had stars in our eyes, and we all went out there with these great expectations, and every one of them was fulfilled.” But it still requires discipline. “You still have to wake up at 6 a.m. and do that TV performance and be the star of the show,” said Weeks.

Brandon Horner was one of many local youngsters taking part in filming the Saving Abel video Thursday at Alcorn Central.

has made over four dozen trips to the park and came up the idea for the magi-

cal ride while working with 18 of the youngsters. Donations from numerous individuals and businesses helped collect over $40,000 for the trip. Each child will also receive $300 each to spend on anything they want in the park, according to Hurley. A package was put together for the trip which cost around $450 per child with the deal including transportation, tickets and accommodations for five days. Enough was also collected to provide food vouchers for the children. “The smiles on their faces will be priceless,” said Black. The group is scheduled for May 26 through June 1. “This is making my dream come true,” said Brandie Ashe, one of the children making the trip.

More than 60 special-needs children and their chaperones will be leaving for Disney World on Saturday. Some of those going on the trip display their new shirts.

Don’t let hearing loss spoil special times For the Daily Corinthian

The number of Americans with hearing loss has doubled over the past 30 years. Now is a good time to analyze your own hearing and determine if you are one of the estimated 28 million Americans who have a hearing loss that can, in some way, be treated. You may have a hearing loss if you: ■ Frequently ask people to repeat themselves ■ Turn your ear often toward a sound to hear it better ■ Understand people better when you wear your glasses or look directly at their faces ■ Lose your place in group conversations ■ Keep the volume on your radio or TV at a level that others say is too loud ■ Have pain or ringing

in your ears People who recognize themselves in these statements should see an audiologist for a hearing test. “Even a very slight hearing loss can have an impact on your daily life,” said Tara J. Spencer, Au.D., CCC-A, the Audiologist at Magnolia Regional Health Center’s Corinth Ear, Nose & Throat. “Hearing loss is treatable, and there is no reason for anyone to miss all the important sounds of life.” Audiologists are medical professionals who specialize in preventing, identifying, assessing, and treating hearing disorders. They recommend

an annual hearing checkup for people ages 45 and older. Audiologists can prescribe hearing aids and assistive listening devices for people of all ages. They can teach people with hearing loss how to concentrate on hearing all sounds. Tara Spencer holds a Doctorate of Audiology, and she is Corinth’s only full-time audiologist.

Corinth, Miss.

Assimilation, now more than ever In the most predictable demographic revolution ever, the Census Bureau reported that nonwhite babies now make up a majority of all births. This shift was inevitable as Rich long as the basic architecture Lowery of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act remained in National place. It ended the old system Review of per-country quotas and -together with subsequent liberalizations -- unleashed a flood of immigration from Latin America and Asia. So long as about a million new immigrants entered the country every year, a demographic transformation was assured as a matter of mathematics. By 2010, the immigrant population was 40 million, following the highest decade in immigration in our history. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the immigrant population had doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980 and quadrupled since 1970. Hispanics went from about 4 percent of the population in the mid-1960s to 16 percent in 2010. Ted Kennedy and other architects of the 1965 law predicted that nothing much would come of the law’s changes. “Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually,” Kennedy insisted, and “the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.” Forty-five years later, Hispanics are roughly 26 percent of all births, blacks 15 percent, and Asians 4 percent. These categories aren’t quite as clear-cut as advertised. About half of Hispanics identify their race as white on the census, a phenomenon that was neglected until The New York Times started calling George Zimmerman a “white Hispanic,” apparently on grounds that an unambiguously Hispanic man couldn’t possibly be involved in a racially charged shooting of a young black man. At its best, this country absorbs immigrants and makes them fully American. The question is whether we can do it now, with our common culture under assault at the same time we are experiencing a historic wave of immigration. In 1910, immigrants were a greater percentage of the population, at 14.7 percent, than they were in 2010, at 12.9 percent. And many of those immigrants weren’t considered “white.” In 1922, an Alabama court threw out a miscegenation conviction against a black man because he had married a Sicilian woman. The court reasoned that she wasn’t conclusively white enough to commit the crime of interracial marriage. A scholar wrote a book in the 1990s suggestively titled “How the Irish Became White.” That all feels like ancient history now, a tribute to the wonders of American assimilation. It is still at work. A Pew Hispanic Center survey found that the longer Hispanics are here and the more money they make, the more likely they are to call themselves “typical Americans.” About 36 percent of Asian-American women marry someone of another race. But the assimilation machine is growing creaky. Diversity is now an industry. Multiculturalism, an ideology hostile to the assimilationist ethic, is ascendant in the schools. An obsessive racialism is sanctioned by government, which draws congressional districts and awards contracts based on race. The universities and corporate America are in thrall to affirmative action. There is no more apt symbol of the potency of the new “one-drop rule” in American life than the Democratic Senate candidate in Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren, who thought it would be to her advantage to tout her alleged 1/32 Cherokee heritage in her academic career. All this comes as the nature of immigration has changed since the early 20th century. After its high in 1910, the percentage of immigrants plunged in ensuing decades. We paused to integrate the immigrants we already had. The current wave is slowing but not stopping. It is dominated by immigrants speaking one language, many of whom are from one country. About one out of 10 births in America is to a woman born in Mexico. That is unprecedented. If we are to avoid the racialized politics that tears at the fabric of other multiracial societies, we’ll need a revival of a patriotic assimilation that long ago fell out of style. More pluribus demands more unum. (Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. He can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Gracious and loving God, we praise you for your glory and majesty. Make us good and faithful stewards of your love and of your creation. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Does Romney have Count Dracula likability? BY ROGER SIMON In the end, it won’t be about who raises the most money. It won’t be about who ate a dog or kept one on the roof of his car. It won’t be about whether Barack Obama will protect the middle class against Mitt Romney’s predatory capitalism. And it won’t be about whether Mitt Romney will create jobs by eradicating Obama’s “European socialism.” It will be about who you like. (Or even whom.) Naive. Simplistic. Adolescent. Who people “want to a have a beer with” is an insult to the intelligence of the American voter. These are the common criticisms of my view. Instead of likability, demographics rule political analysis today. Are you a Latino? A single mother? A gun owner? Gay? A college graduate? A suburbanite? A truck driver? That will determine your vote. Me, I do not buy this. I do not believe that demographics are destiny. I believe campaigns are about campaigning and the campaigners. And the campaigners have to get you to like them. Let’s look just at two campaigns in which an incumbent president was running for re-election. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan was not a shoo-

in against Walter Mondale. At 73, Reagan was the oldest president in U.S. history, and on Oct. 7 in a debate in Louisville, he stumbled through a disastrous debate, at one point admitting he was “confused.” Nancy Reagan later would call it “the worst night of Ronnie’s political career.” Just one more debate would follow 14 days later in Kansas City, Mo., and Reagan’s media guru, Roger Ailes, told Reagan to forget about all the facts and figures that his staff was trying to stuff into his head. “You didn’t get elected on details,” Ailes told him. And in the second debate, Reagan was warm, affable and got off the line of the evening. “I will not make age an issue of this campaign,” Reagan said. “I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” Mondale laughed along with the audience, but he later said tears of defeat had welled in his eyes. “In the second debate, he was on his game,” Mondale said. “He reassured the public, and that was essentially the end of the campaign.” In 2004, George W. Bush ran for re-election against John Kerry. In the weeks before Election Day, there was a drumbeat of bad news for the incumbent: a rising death toll in Iraq, reminders of the Abu Ghraib pris-

on scandal, a shortage of flu vaccine, high gasoline prices and three badly reviewed debate performances. True, the Bush forces had “Swift Boated” Kerry, but the attacks, which were baseless, would not have damaged Kerry so much if people had simply liked Kerry more as a person, trusted and respected him. Bush connected with voters on an emotional level. Even though the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks had taken place on his watch, Bush persuaded voters he would keep them safer than Kerry would. And Bush squeaked out a 2.4 percentage point victory. In his concession speech the next day, Kerry told the crowd, “I wish that I could just wrap you up in my arms and embrace each and every one of you.” His voice broke. And I wondered if he had showed that kind of emotion during the campaign instead of being photographed windsurfing in that stupid wetsuit, might he not have been the president-elect that day. Just look at the results of every presidential race since 1980: Ronald Reagan beats Jimmy Carter and then Walter Mondale. George H.W. Bush beats Michael Dukakis. Bill Clinton beats George H.W. Bush and then Bob Dole. George W. Bush beats Al Gore and then John Kerry. Barack Obama beats John McCain.

In every one of these elections, I would argue, the more likable candidate has won. (I would add one asterisk: Gore did win the popular vote by more than 500,000 voters in 2000.) Likability is an entrance gate. It opens people up to your message and, yes, to your issues. If they don’t like you, they are not going to listen or believe you. Today, Romney’s campaign is worried about its candidate’s likability, and it is trying to “warm” him up. Others think it does not matter. Phil Musser, a senior adviser in Romney’s presidential campaign in 2007, recently told Dan Hirschhorn of The Daily: “As long as you’re not Count Dracula, in an economy that’s still mired in a weak recovery from an awful recession, people are looking for someone who can cut through the fog, not someone who’s going to make them warm and fuzzy. Likeability is important insofar as people don’t despise your candidate.” History would disagree. I would disagree. And if I were the Romney campaign, I would keep my candidate off of surfboards, away from wet suits and out of blood banks.

A book Republicans should read about taxation Democrats have been having a field day with the cry of “tax cuts for the rich” -- for which Republicans seem to have no reply. This is especially surprising, because Democrats made the same arguments in the 1920s, and the Republicans then not only had a reply, but one that eventually carried the day, when the top tax rate was brought down from 73 percent to 24 percent. What was the difference then? The biggest difference is that Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon took the trouble to articulate the case for lower tax rates, in articles that appeared in popular publications, using plain language that ordinary people could understand. Seldom do Republican leaders today even attempt to do this. In 1924, the ideas from these articles were collected in a book which Mellon titled “Taxation: The People’s Business.” That book has recently been reprinted by the University of Minnesota Law Library. Today’s Republicans would do well to get a copy of Mellon’s

Those who argue that “the rich” should pay a higher tax rate, and that the revenue this would bring in could be used to reduce the deficit, assume that higher tax rates equal higher tax revenues. But they do not. Secretary Mellon pointed out that previously the government “received substantially the same revenue from high incomes with a 13 percent surtax as it received with a 65 percent surtax.” Higher tax rates do not mean higher tax revenues. High tax rates on high incomes, Mellon said, lead many of those who earn such incomes to withdraw their money “from produc-

tive business and invest it in tax-exempt securities” or otherwise find ways to avoid receiving income in taxable forms. That is even easier to do today than in Andrew Mellon’s time. The very same liberals who complain that Mitt Romney -- among thousands of others -- puts his money in the Cayman Islands nevertheless act as if raising the tax rates automatically raises tax revenues. It can instead drive money out of the country and drive jobs out with it. Mellon cited statistics that showed the opposite of what the high-tax advocates claimed. Although incomes in general were rising from 1916 to 1921, the taxable income of people earning $300,000 and up dropped by about four-fifths. That didn’t mean that “the rich” were becoming poor. It meant that they had arranged to receive their incomes in forms that were not taxable. Mellon asked where the money of these high income earners went. He answered: “There is no doubt of the fact that much of it went into tax-exempt securities.” In today’s global

economy, much of it can also easily be sent overseas. After Mellon finally succeeded in getting Congress to lower the top tax rate from 73 percent to 24 percent, the government actually received more tax revenues at the lower rate than it had at the higher rate. Moreover, it received a higher proportion of all income taxes from the top income earners than before. Something similar happened in later years, after tax rates were cut under Presidents Kennedy, Reagan and G.W. Bush. The record is clear. Barack Obama admitted during the 2008 election campaign that he understood that raising tax rates does not necessarily mean raising tax revenues. Why then is he pushing so hard for higher tax rates on “the rich” this election year? Because class warfare politics can increase votes for his reelection, even if it raises no more tax revenues for the government.

State briefs Associated Press

Overall casino revenues slip in April JACKSON — Mississippi’s coast casinos were up in April, but its river casinos were down more, depressing the overall revenue at the state’s gambling halls. Overall, the state’s casinos won 1.2 percent less money, with revenues falling to $187 million last month from $189.3 million in April 2011. Casinos in the Gulf Coast market saw revenue rise 6.8 percent, to $93.4 million from $87.4 million. It’s the third month in a row of strong revenue increases for that region’s 11 casinos. The 17 casinos along the Mississippi River saw revenues fall 8 percent, to $93.7 million from $101.9 million. Vicksburg’s Grand Station casino closed on March 28, temporarily reducing the overall number of casinos in Mississippi to 28. Biloxi’s Margaritaville opened earlier this week, pushing the total back to 29.

Bostick faces 3 counts in DUI-death case PONTOTOC — An Oxford man pardoned by Gov. Haley Barbour earlier this year has pleaded not guilty to three counts related to the 2011 highway death of 18-year-old Charity Smith. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that Harry Russ Bostick entered the plea Thursday in Pontotoc County Circuit Court. A judge allowed Bostick to remain free on $50,000 bond. Bostick, 55, has been indicted with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and DUI-death. The indictment alleges that on Oct. 7, 2011, Bostick was intoxicated when his vehicle hit one driven by Smith on U.S. Highway 278. Smith was killed and her sister seriously injured

in the accident. Last January, just before Barbour went out of office, he issued pardons, clemencies and other leniency for more than 200 people. Among them was Bostick. The Parole Board investigated Bostick’s application for pardon from a felony DUI and sent a favorable recommendation to Barbour on Sept. 30. The crash happened the next month, and Barbour signed the pardon two months later on Jan. 10. Parole officials and Barbour said they didn’t know about Bostick’s most recent DUI charge or the wreck because it happened after officials investigated the pardon request.

MHP hopes to reduce weekend road deaths JACKSON — Nine people died on Mississippi highways during the 2011 Memorial Day weekend. The Highway Patrol hopes to reduce that number on the roads it covers during the 78hour holiday period begins at 6 p.m. Friday and ends at midnight Monday. Public Safety Commissioner Albert Santa Cruz says that over the past seven years, there has been a steady decline in the annual number of statewide fatalities. In 2005, 931 people died on Mississippi roads and highways. In 2011, 630 people were killed in traffic crashes. The Highway Patrol will use about $140,000 in federal grants to beef up patrols as the “Click It or Ticket” campaign continues. Mississippi was one of eight states where the Click It or Ticket campaign began in 2002.

Flowers resigning from Mississippi Senate JACKSON — Republican Merle Flowers of Southaven says he’s resigning from the

Mississippi Senate to spend more time with his wife and their four children. The 43-year-old Flowers said Thursday that he will step down as of July 11. His District 19 is entirely inside DeSoto County. Flowers has been in the Senate since January 2004. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant will have to set a nonpartisan special election to fill the Senate seat. Flowers is chairman of the committee that drew a Senate redistricting plan that was adopted in April to reflect population changes revealed by the 2010 Census. The map for the 52-member Senate awaits scrutiny by the U.S. Justice Department. Because of Mississippi’s history of racial discrimination, any election changes must be approved by the federal government.

Drug kingpin informant faces mulitple charges JACKSON — A Mississippi man who was released early from prison after providing information about a drug kingpin has been charged with selling large amounts of cocaine and marijuana to informants, court records say. A criminal complaint filed Wednesday in federal court in Hattiesburg said Dmtrice “Mickey” Booth of Bassfield sold the drugs to informants on several different occasions in 2011. One informant claims to have bought 1,000 pounds of marijuana from him over a nine-month period, according to the complaint. Booth was serving an eightyear sentence on drug charges in 2005 when a judge reduced the sentence by almost half after he provided information on two suspected drug dealers, David Warner and Malcolm Hartzog, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Hattiesburg. Authorities have said Warner

was one of the biggest drug dealers ever in Mississippi and Hartzog was one of his top men. Warner was on the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted Fugitive list before being captured in Mexico in 2005. Court records do not say if Booth has a lawyer. Attorneys who represented him in the earlier case did not immediately respond to messages Thursday. His phone number was not available. A Drug Enforcement Administration affidavit in court records said Booth was selling drugs out of Bassfield in Jefferson Davis County, the same rural, south Mississippi county where authorities say Warner based his operation. Agents raided Warner’s 5,100-square-foot mansion in 2004. They found a sealed federal indictment, but Warner was gone. He was caught in July 2005 in Toluca, Mexico, where he had been living in a gated community about 35 miles from Mexico City. Warner was sentenced to more than 22 years in 2007. Authorities have said Warner’s organization distributed tons of marijuana and hundreds of pounds of cocaine in Mississippi, Mobile, Ala., and Memphis, Tenn.

Man’s appeal rejected in insurance scam case MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A federal appeals court has upheld the 37-month sentence handed to a Mississippi man convicted of defrauding a Memphis insurance company. The Commercial Appeals reports that a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Memphis upheld Robert Rainey’s conviction this week. Robert Rainey argued his sentence was too harsh and would not be a deterrent to other white-collar criminals. The 6th Circuit panel upheld the sentence. It said U.S. Dis-

trict Judge Jon McCalla considered the repetitive nature of the theft, protection of the public and the need for vocational training Robert Rainey and his wife, Elizabeth, both of Southaven, Miss., were sentenced earlier this year on charges stemming from a scam involving insurance checks totaling nearly $700,000. Elizabeth Rainey was sentenced to four years. They admitted to siphoning money from her employer, Direct General Insurance Corp. of Memphis, by creating fraudulent checks on insurance claims. Prosecutors say Elizabeth Rainey was a claims adjustor at Direct General whose job was to issue claims checks for legitimate claims. Prosecutors say Elizabeth Rainey and another employee wrote bogus checks to friends and relatives purporting to be claims for legitimate customers. Robert Rainey received 224 of the bogus checks.

Homeless encampment in Tupelo bulldozed JACKSON — The abrupt closure of an encampment set up by homeless people in Tupelo has advocates and city officials divided. The city’s mayor says crimes associated with the encampment had escalated in recent months, but advocates say destroying the site can only make the problem worse. Experts estimate that Tupelo has between 75 and 100 homeless people. Most are served by the Salvation Army, the only shelter in northeast Mississippi, according to director Maj. Sue Dorman. The Tupelo location provides free meals, shelter, clothes and medical treatment to the homeless and has served most of those who lived in the encampment. Dorman said many will not cooperate with the shelter rules, like staying sober and seeking work on a daily basis.

6-year-olds wander from school to museum Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Public Schools officials are investigating an impromptu field trip of sorts that occurred when two 6-year-old students wandered away from their school and walked to the city’s Children’s Museum a few blocks away.

District spokeswoman Ebony Pugh says she can’t specify what sort of discipline officials at Martin Luther King Elementary School will face for the incident this week, because that’s a personnel matter. A museum spokesman tells WTAE-TV that the students showed up at

the museum about 2 p.m. Monday and asked if admission was free. When they were told no, the students ran into the museum until they were caught by security guards. The school was locked down after a teacher noticed the students were missing.

Victim uploads video of suspected thief MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin man whose camcorder was briefly stolen has found a way to get back at the suspected thief: He uploaded a video to YouTube that the suspect took with the camera, a clip in which the man reveals his name, shows his face and admits he stole the camera. Chris Rochester, 25, of La Crosse, said his camera was stolen a few weeks ago from the car of his boss, Republican state Senate candidate Bill Feehan. Police eventually recovered the camera and returned it to Rochester, who set it aside. Then, when Gov. Scott Walker made a recent visit to La Crosse, Rochester used the camera to film the event. When he went back to retrieve the video, he found 20 other segments the suspect apparently recorded. Most were uneventful, generally 15- to 20-second clips of television screens. But one video caught Rochester’s eye. “This is my house, yes, and a stolen camera that I stole. But it’s OK, the cop won’t figure it out,” the suspect says in the 79-second video, as he pans around a home and points out the kitchen and bathroom. Later he adds, “Oh yeah, to introduce you, my name is Houaka Yang. So yeah, how do you do.” Finally, he turns the camera to reveal his face and says with a smile, “And this is me. Hi.” The 20-year-old Yang is scheduled to make an initial appearance Wednesday on two charges of being party to the crime of misdemeanor theft and one misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed weapon. The charges carry a maximum penalty of two years and three months in jail and a $30,000 fine. Online court records didn’t immediately list a defense attorney. Rochester said he almost disregarded the videos on his camera, thinking maybe he’d accidentally hit the ‘record’ button.

Senate committee cuts Pakistan aid

VP search enters audition phase

WASHINGTON — A Senate panel expressed its outrage Thursday over Pakistan’s conviction of a doctor who helped the United States track down Osama bin Laden, cutting aid to Islamabad by $33 million — $1 million for every year of the physician’s 33-year sentence for high treason. The punitive move came on top of deep reductions the Appropriations Committee already had made to President Barack Obama’s budget request for Pakistan, a reflection of the growing congressional anger over its cooperation in combatting terrorism. The overall foreign aid budget for next year had slashed more than half of the proposed assistance and threatened further reductions if Islamabad failed to open overland supply routes to U.S.-led NATO forces in Afghanistan. Pushing aside any diplomatic talk, Republicans and Democrats criticized Pakistan a day after the conviction in Pakistan of Shakil Afridi. The doctor ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify bin Laden’s presence at the compound in Abbottabad where U.S. commandos found and killed the al-Qaida leader in May 2011. The United States has called for Afridi’s release, arguing that he was acting in the interest of the U.S. and Pakistan. “We need Pakistan, Pakistan needs us, but we don’t need Pakistan double-dealing and not seeing the justice in bringing Osama bin Laden to an end,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who pushed for the additional cut in aid. He called Pakistan “a schizophrenic ally,” helping the United States at one turn, but then aiding the Haqqani network which has claimed responsibility for several attacks on Americans. The group also has ties to al-Qaida and the Taliban. “It’s Alice in Wonderland at best,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. “If this is cooperation, I’d hate like hell to see opposition.”

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney’s vice presidential search has entered a new phase: auditions. As his campaign evaluates potential running mates, Republicans with a possible shot at the No. 2 spot on the presidential ticket are starting to engage in unofficial public tryouts for the traditional vice presidential role of attack dog. Democratic President Barack Obama is “the most ill-prepared person to assume the presidency in my lifetime,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared in a speech in Kentucky this week. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio told South Carolina Republicans that there hasn’t been such a “divisive figure in modern American history” as Obama. Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, speaking Tuesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library — it’s a favorite venue for Republicans seeking more attention — said Obama “wants to take us further in the wrong direction.” In an Alabama appearance this month, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called Obama “the most incompetent president since Jimmy Carter.” Not that any of them — or any of the others who may have landed a spot on Romney’s list — are talking about becoming vice president. Nor are any of them acknowledging that they’re trying out for the role or saying the Romney campaign has asked them to do so. Top Romney aides are sworn to secrecy, as are potential running mates and their staffs — an example of the Romney campaign’s closely controlled, noleaks culture. But their high-profile appearances come more than a month after Romney assumed, for all practical purposes, leadership of the Republican Party. His vice presidential search is well under way, with his Boston headquarters engaged in a secretive process of weighing the pros and cons of each potential pick.

Food stamp fraud raising concerns WASHINGTON — Food stamp recipients are ripping off the government for millions of dollars by illegally selling their benefit cards for cash — sometimes even in the open, on eBay or Craigslist — and then asking the government for replacement cards. The Agriculture Department wants to curb the practice by giving states more power to investigate people who repeatedly claim to lose their benefit cards. It is proposing new rules Thursday that would allow states to demand formal explanations from people who seek replacement cards more than three times a year. Those who don’t comply can be denied further cards. “Up to this point, the state’s hands have been tied unless they absolutely suspected fraudulent activity,” said Kevin Concannon, the department’s undersecretary for food, nutrition and consumer services. Overall, food stamp fraud costs taxpayers about $750 million a year, or 1 percent of the $75 billion program that makes up the bulk of the department’s total budget for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Most fraud occurs when unscrupulous retailers allow customers to turn in their benefits cards for lesser amounts of cash. But USDA officials are also concerned about people selling or trading cards in the open market.

Mutual fund favorites Microsoft isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the most buzzworthy tech stock, but it edges out Apple and Google in at least one tally. It ranks No. 1 in terms of popularity among mutual fund managers. Of the 50 largest actively managed mutual funds, 21 counted Microsoft as one of their top-10 holdings at the end of March, according to a review by Citi Investment Research. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one more fund than er that Apple, but nearly double the number st. have Google on their top-10 list. Additional mutual funds may own these stocks, but not among their top-10 holdings. th Microsoft started the year with hs better results. In the three months

ending in March, revenue at its Windows division edged up by 4 percent from a year earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only the second gain in the past six quarters. Fund managers are also anticipating the fall launch of Windows 8, which could enable Microsoft to grab a piece of the growing tablet computer market. Microsoft has a 2.5 percent dividend yield, higher than the S&P 500â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2.1 percent yield, and tra trades at 11 times its earnings per share over th the last 12 months. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower than the S&P 500â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price-earnings ratio of 13 times. Three of the biggest funds have added Wells Fargo and AT&T to their top holdi holdings since the end of last year, and two funds added Apple and Pfizer.

Segui throws ‘darts’ at Clemens defense Associated Press

WASHINGTON — David Segui remembered “darts” but not dates. The former major leaguer testified for the prosecution Thursday in the Roger Clemens perjury trial, and he would have made a much better witness if he kept a better mental calendar. As it was, Segui was able to recall one specific moment that helped the government’s case: a telephone conversation he says he had with Clemens’ strength coach 11 years ago. “He mentioned that he had kept darts to get his wife off his back,” Segui said. With those words, Segui echoed the testimony of the six-week-old trial’s key witness. Brian McNamee told the jury last week that he saved a needle and other materials from an alleged ste-

roids injection of Clemens in 2001. McNamee testified he was trying to allay his wife’s fears he would take all the blame if the drug use was discovered. “He mentioned that the relationship between Brian and Roger had put stress on his married life. ... Coming and going ... leaving at the drop of a hat to go train,” said Segui, recalling other parts of the conversation. Segui, who has acknowledged using performanceenhancing drugs during his 15-year baseball career with seven teams, wasn’t allowed to say that “darts” means “needles.” The judge ruled that the jurors will have to make that assumption themselves — unless McNamee were to return to the stand to explain. Segui, who became friends with McNamee when they

met in Toronto during the 1999 season, also wasn’t allowed to relate a second, similar “darts” conversation because he couldn’t remember when it happened. He was certain it occurred before the publication of the 2007 Mitchell Report on drug use in sports, but that wasn’t good enough for U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton. “You are to disregard the question,” the judge told the jurors, who had been ushered from the courtroom as the lawyers debated the matter. “I’m not good with dates. I don’t log my life,” said Segui, who also couldn’t remember at what point during the ’99 season he was traded from Seattle to Toronto. Clemens is charged with lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied using steroids and human growth hormone. McNamee says he

injected Clemens with both substances and saved some of the waste from the 2001 injection in a beer can. Clemens’ lawyers have implied that McNamee conjured up the evidence after becoming the subject of federal and Mitchell Report investigators in 2007. Segui’s testimony was allowed by the judge because it appears to contradict that argument, a significant victory for the prosecution. Another witness, former McNamee workout client Anthony Corso, is expected to give similar testimony Friday as the government wraps up its case. Segui, whom the government portrayed as a reluctant witness, said under crossexamination that McNamee didn’t attach a specific name to the “darts,” but that he knew McNamee was training Clemens at the time.

Celtics and Sixers prepare for seventh game Associated Press

BOSTON — Julius Erving strolled through the 76ers locker room as Philadelphia celebrated beating the Celtics to set up another Game 7 in Boston. “It brings back all the memories,” the Hall of Famer said after the Sixers forced the first seventh game between the old rivals since he teamed with Andrew Toney to lead Philadelphia past Boston and into the 1982 NBA finals. “It seemed like it always came down to them. ... Coming out of the East, (it) was always Boston or Philly.” Jrue Holiday scored 20 points and Elton Brand had 13 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday night to lead the 76ers to an 82-75 victory over the Celtics on Wednesday night that left the Eastern Conference semifinals tied 3-3. Both teams took the day off on Thursday to rest up for Game 7 in Boston on Saturday. “That’s all we wanted was to win ... and give ourselves

a chance to go into Boston and see what happens on Saturday in Game 7,” Sixers coach Doug Collins said after his team stayed alive. “I want more. I want more. We’re going to get greedy, and we want more. We’ve fought, we’ve worked, and we’ve gone through a lot as a team.” The Sixers and Celtics met 12 times in the playoffs from 1953-69 and five more from 1977-85, fomenting an animosity that stretched from Bob Cousy and the Syracuse Nationals through Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain and into the era of Dr. J and Boston’s original Big Three of Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and Larry Bird. Collins played for the 76ers for eight years, retiring in 1981 due to a knee injury that limited him to just 48 games over the previous two seasons. He was hurt when the Sixers took a 3-1 lead in the ‘81 conference finals before Boston came back, winning Game 7 when Bird banked in the winner for a spot in the

finals en route to the Celtics’ 14th NBA title. The teams met again in the conference finals the next year, and again Philadelphia opened a 3-1 lead before the Celtics came back to force a seventh game. “It was here we go again. They talked a lot about the psyche of how the Philly fans thought the team had let them down once again, the disappointment,” said Collins, who was working the radio broadcasts when the Sixers held on to win in Boston. “They won that game. We have that same opportunity. Let’s give ourselves that chance. Let’s get ourselves back to Boston with a Game 7 and see what we can do.” Before Game 6, Collins showed his team the video from the ’82 series to psych the players up. “Sometimes, I think it’s good to go back and let guys see the history of the franchise with Boston and Philly,” he said. “Watching Julius and Maurice Cheeks,

and Bobby Jones and Andrew Toney and these guys. Seeing McHale and Bird and Parish and that group of guys. It was good for our guys to see.” It will be a new Boston Garden and new Big Three for this Game 7, and the rivalry isn’t what it once was, either. Boston is just four years removed from its unprecedented 17th NBA title — and two years away from its last trip to the finals. But the Sixers barely made the playoffs this year and advanced past the top-seeded Bulls thanks at least in part to an injury to Chicago’s Derrick Rose. The teams have met just once in the postseason since 1985, in the first round of the 2002 playoffs. “It’s different,” Erving said. “They’re probably not the two best teams in the NBA right now. But of the six teams that are left, they’re still here, they’re still competing, they still want it. “Their goal is to try and win the championship.”

Sanchez sharp, Tebow tosses 2 INTs in Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; OTAs BY DENNIS WASZAK JR. Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mark Sanchez smiled for a split-second when a reporter labeled him as the most scrutinized guy in the New York Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; locker room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nooo,â&#x20AC;? the quarterback said, dripping with sarcasm. Yep, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been that way for more than three years now, long before Tim Tebow ever got here. But the arrival of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular backup quarterback means even more attention focused not only on what Tebow does, but every throw Sanchez makes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the third day of the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organized team activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His popularity draws a lot of this,â&#x20AC;? Sanchez said Thursday, motioning toward the throng of reporters and cameras around him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the same time, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in this position if I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m prepared for it.â&#x20AC;? Sanchez has had a few months to do so, ever since the Jets surprised the NFL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and their starting quarterback â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by pulling off a deal to acquire the popular Tebow from the Denver Broncos. Despite all the doubts among fans and media that the two can co-exist, Sanchez has been nothing but complimentary of his new teammate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to help us all over the field,â&#x20AC;? Sanchez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for us.â&#x20AC;? Sanchez was sharp in the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first session of OTAs open to the media, while Tebow threw two interceptions in a three-play span. Sure, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only May, and the Jets have made it clear that Sanchez is the starting quarterback, but it was an encouraging performance. The play of the day was Sanchezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80-yard toss

to speedy second-round draft pick Stephen Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kid is in great shape, as are most of the guys, but I just think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stronger,â&#x20AC;? coach Rex Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That arm, it looks stronger to me. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really zipping it and also throwing with touch.â&#x20AC;? While many in the media continue to speculate about when in the season Tebow will eventually assume the starting job, Sanchez brushes it all aside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put a lot of pressure on myself and I think you guys (the media) know that and everybody in the building knows that, that I want to make it right for me and for this team,â&#x20AC;? said Sanchez, who appeared noticeably relaxed and loose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether we have Matt Simms or (G.J.) Kinne or (Greg) McElroy, or it happens to be Tim Tebow behind me, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m playing hard and trying to get this thing right for all of us out here.â&#x20AC;? Eli Manning went through the same scrutiny

in his first few seasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; albeit without a backup whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more popular beyond football than he is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and went out and won a Super Bowl in his fourth season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No pressure,â&#x20AC;? a grinning Sanchez said, who has four playoff road victories in his three seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, I just think about learning this offense and making sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all on the same page. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look

too far ahead. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just finished Day 3 of OTAs.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, Tebow, who was acquired in March to be Sanchezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backup, was picked off by Bart Scott and then newly signed Yeremiah Bell two plays later in 7-on-7 drills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some ups and downs,â&#x20AC;? Ryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was better the first day (of OTAs) ... but I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done well.â&#x20AC;? Tebow knows better

than to get too discouraged about a few misfires in a practice so early in the offseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely frustrating, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-on-7s and both of those plays, it was the first time I ran them,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn from it and honestly, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me again. When you make a bad play, put it behind you and move on, and I feel like I did. I went out there the next

team period and felt like I did OK, so again you just have to remember where you are and what you were doing.â&#x20AC;? Tebow also had offensive coordinator Tony Sparano bark at him after both interceptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both times, he was saying: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to take your checkdown. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right in front of you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Tebow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a learning point for me.â&#x20AC;?

the money belongs to the public, it shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been paid out to the lawyers from the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contingent fund or from other money appropriated to the attorney general. A Hinds County judge in 2010 ruled the $14 million in fees paid to two attorneys for handling a state lawsuit against telecommunications giant MCI was properly handled. Another Hinds County judge ruled the same in another case in 2010 involving $10 million in fees paid to lawyers for handling a state lawsuit against computer software maker Microsoft. The Supreme Court rejected arguments from Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood and the attorneys involved in the cases that the fees were the property of the lawyers, not the state. The justices also rejected arguments from Republican state Auditor Stacey Pickering, who brought the lawsuits, that the fees paid to attorneys should be paid to the state treasury and then appropriated by the Legislature.

Hood and Pickering did not immediately return calls seeking comment. The Supreme Court said the settlement funds paid by MCI and Microsoft belonged to the state. The court said state law clearly â&#x20AC;&#x153;mandates that outside counsel retained by the attorney general can be paid only from the attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;contingent fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or from funds appropriated to the attorney general by the Legislature.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is where it must be paid â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and distributed,â&#x20AC;? wrote Presiding Justice Jess Dickinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The statute does not allow direct payment of attorney fees.â&#x20AC;? Justice Jim Kitchens said the law firms had a valid contract with the state and were entitled to their fees being paid from the settlement. Kitchens said the better approach would have been to submit all of the settlement proceeds to the attorney general, have him to deposit those settlement proceeds into his contingency account and then write a check to the law firms. Kitchens said for the Supreme Court to now require that â&#x20AC;&#x153;would, at best, be an inefficient and totally symbolic gesture.â&#x20AC;? Hood has said that paying the private attorneys is part of the settlement of the lawsuit and should not be counted as part of the money the state receives. Hood has said he enters into such contracts with private attorneys when his office does not have the expertise, resources or manpower to pursue a case. Pickering did not challenge Hoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to hire outside legal help. He wanted the lawyers to submit a bill, or voucher, to the Legislature and let the Legislature pay them. Microsoft was not a party to Pickeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawsuit. Microsoft reached a $100 million settlement with the state in 2009 in a software lawsuit. In the MCI case, Hood sought to recoup unpaid taxes and interest stemming from the collapse of Clinton-based WorldCom, which emerged from bankruptcy as MCI.

Arab American tells of journey And I thought I was in the right place at the right time when my heart attack occurred -- being at church and only five minutes from the hospital! At cardiac rehab, however, I met a man who was actually in Magnolia Hospital’s ICU when he had an unexpected heart attack. How could a person even plan an event better than that? That happened in 1987. Then a few months ago, this same man was in the hospital parking lot after dropping off some paperwork at his cardiologist’s office, when suddenly he felt pressure in his chest and knew something was wrong. He immediately hurried back toward the doctor’s office. The office nurse, just by observing the guy’s face, knew he was in trouble. She pointed to a wheelchair and literally ran down the hall as she pushed her patient to the ER -- and his life was saved. The doctor said if he hadn’t got help in that five-minute time frame, he would not have survived. The man of whom I speak is a friendly face around town. Everyone seems to know Mr. Abe Rafidi. When I heard his story, I told him it’s quite obvious he was meant to have a long life! He agreed God has definitely watched out for him and blessed him through the years. While discussing health issues, I found Mr. Abe’s story very interesting and asked for an interview. He graciously agreed. Ibrahim Awad Rafidi was born in EL-Bireh, Palestine, only six miles from Jerusalem. (That’s enough to get my attention!) His hometown is believed to be where Jesus and his parents, Mary and Joseph, spent the night on their way back from Jerusalem to their hometown of Nazareth after Jesus had been lost from them at the age of 12 and was found in the Temple with the teachers and elders. The Old Testament name of the town of EL-Bireh is Beeroth. Abe was the first of nine children born to Awad and Nimeh Rafidi. Abe’s dad was a flour miller who crushed grain for fellow villagers, making a meager living while helping his neighbors. Money was scarce but the Rafidi family was busy and happy. When Abe was preparing to graduate from high school, he began to make

plans to come to the United States to attend college. His dad Lora Ann explained Huff t h e r e would be Back Porch money for only a one-way trip. The ambitious young man understood and applied for admission to several American schools. From the colleges that sent acceptance letters, Rafidi chose a university near New Orleans. When he was 18, his family managed to get $200 together to pay for Abe’s flight from Jerusalem to New York and then to Youngstown, Ohio. From there he took a train to Lafayette, La., and his life changed forever. This was in January of 1958. With only one suitcase containing his few personal belongings, Abe Rafidi arrived in Lafayette to study at the University of Louisiana. With tuition being around $100 per semester, the young man worked at fast food restaurants making 50 cents per hour and paid his way through college. As one might guess, Abe met a young lady in college who would become his wife. Six months after graduating with a major in chemistry and a minor in physics and math, Abe married his sweetheart, Tommie Green, from Bastrop, La., in December of 1962. The native Arab also became a citizen of the United States and went to work at the medical school at Tulane University in New Orleans. The couple’s two children -- a boy, Ray, and a girl, Leslie -- were born in the medical center where their father worked. In 1965, the Rafidis moved to Corinth where Abe had accepted a job as a chemist at Southbridge Plastics. For 38 years he worked in the lab as the company’s name changed two or three times. Then in 2003 Mr. Rafidi retired as technical manager, and the couple continues to enjoy life in the town that quickly became home to them in the 1960’s. During the interview, I sat mesmerized as I listened to this Palestinianborn Arab Christian talk about his life, his faith in God, and his faith in the Christ who walked and talked on the same streets and in the same

communities as he had. Growing up in the Greek Orthodox Church, Abe knew the importance of the Christian faith and a personal relationship with God. In New Orleans the Catholic church became his Christian family, and in Corinth, he and his wife worship at St. James Catholic Church. As soon as income allowed after their marriage, Abe and Tommie made a habit of sending money to Abe’s parents -- even $50 per month was helpful in those days. The sad thing to me is they had to establish a pattern of transit through a friend in California to a trustworthy agency in Palestine to be sure the money reached his parents. Money or checks could not be sent in the mail or to the banks. Everything was controlled and censored by the Israeli government and military, who had illegally occupied the country and had no regard for the Palestinians. In 1971 the young Rafidi family visited Abe’s parents in Palestine for the first time since he left for college. Abe was 32 years old and his children were eight and six. His wife Tommie says she was anxious to see the shops and marketplaces but was not allowed to go when the family was actually shopping to buy. They wanted to get the cheapest prices, and her blonde hair would signal “American” and the prices would go up! She could go only when they were just “looking” and showing her around. In those days the shops were still specialty shops, each one selling a particular item. Tommie said to buy fabric for a dress they went to one shop and then had to go to another place to buy the buttons for it. Things have changed now and today the cities have department stores and supermarkets just like in America. Tommie told of how her in-laws welcomed her to the family on that first visit. Abe’s father, speaking good English with a keen British accent, threw his arms wide open and with a big smile, said, “Welcome, daughter!” and gave her a big, big hug. He was so happy to meet his son’s wife and get to know his first two grandchildren. Grandson Ray got to introduce his grandmother to American peanut butter, which she came to like very much.

Ray was a picky eater and wondered how he would fare in Palestine without hamburgers. One man assured him he had good hamburgers for him, but they turned out to be “lamb burgers,” and Ray was sad to find they didn’t taste or even look like American burgers! Mr. Rafidi laughed as he told about when young Ray visited one of his Arab cousins. His uncle read a children’s book to the boys, and when Mr. Abe asked his son if the book was in Arabic or in English, Ray quickly replied, “The words were in Arabic, but the pictures were in English.” That month-long visit was the only time the children got to see their grandfather. Two years later, just before a planned second visit, the elder Rafidi, only in his 50s, passed away with a heart attack while tending his honey bees in an orange grove in Jericho. The bees had become a real joy to him, since he could share the delicious honey with his friends and neighbors. He had no desire to sell it -- just wanted to give it free to those who would enjoy eating it. Abe’s mom eventually traveled to America to visit him and her other children who had moved to the states. She attended her grandchildren’s weddings, and although she enjoyed her visits, she didn’t want to live here because she missed home and her friends. Two years ago, at age 92 she died in her home country. Tommie says life has been an enjoyable ride as she learned about life and traditions in the Holy Land while establishing a home here and making traditions with Abe for their own family, naturally blending Arab and American ways. On Dec. 27 of this year, the Rafidis will celebrate 50 years of marriage. Surely I was in the right place at the right time again to have the chance to meet and visit with such a special couple. Thank you, Abe and Tommie, for sharing a few memories and giving us a small glimpse of your faith, your courage, and your dreams that came true as you worked and raised your family.

Some things that cannot be replaced Something that I hope all of us realize is that God has never promised us a tomorrow. Proverbs 27:1 says, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Each of us needs to live as if today is our last day on earth and to live it to the fullest. All of us need to understand that when we waste time, it is something that we will never get back. How we use our time is up to us. There are many procrastinators in today’s society and all of us know who they are, unless we are one ourselves. We tend to put off what needs to be done. We tend to put off telling our brothers and sisters about the life saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and say we will do it tomorrow. There is an old saying that goes like this: Yesterday is a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note; today is ready

c a s h , spend it. Time o n c e gone can never be recalled. Gary A l o n g Andrews t h e s e s a m e Devotionals lines are words. Words once spoken can never be taken back, no matter how profusely you apologize for misspoken words or you have said something you didn’t really mean. So many of us have spoken too quickly and too harshly to our loved ones, to co-workers, or to friends, never intending harm to come to them. Words hurt, and the manner with which they are said adds undue strain to relationships. Words spoken, whether they are not meant to be spoken in jest, or simply stated by mistake, can never be taken back.

Once these words are said, they are gone and will never come back. Along with time and words, something else we can lose and never get back is opportunity. Opportunities have stared all of us in the face and we have passed them off as needless items. Later on, we recall these times that are gone, and wish we had capitalized on the opportunity presented. How many times have we had the opportunity to share the gospel with our friends and neighbors and allowed the opportunity to slip by? How many times have we had the opportunity to say to family and loved ones three simple words, “I love you,” and have not because of some grudge or words that were standing in the way? How many times has the Lord opened the door of opportunity for you, whether it is job related,

home related, friend related, or church related, and we haven’t answered the call. Then at some point in time we look back and said, “I wish I had...” Three things in life that, once gone, never come back -- time, words and opportunity. Prayer -- Lord help me to realize what your will is for me and guide me in that direction. Help me as I use the time you have graciously given me and help me select the words and opportunities you have for me. Amen.

Friday, May 25, 2012

Thank those who made holiday possible DEAR ABBY: Would you please remind your many readers that the greatest gift we can give to Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen is the gift of remembrance? The legacy of those who have died for our freedom -from the Revolutionary War to the present -- is something that strengthens and unites Americans. I would like every child to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know why I am free, and I know who died for my freedom.â&#x20AC;? Since 1997, Major League Baseball has stopped all games in progress at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day to observe the National Moment of Remembrance. The umpire steps out from home plate, removes his mask, and halts the game so that

everyone can pause. The crowd rises as one with h a n d s over their Abigail h e a r t s . Van Buren Along with MLB, the Dear Abby Ironworkers, Sheet Metal Workers and firefighters unions, American Veterans Center, the National Cartoonists Society and Bugles Across America observe the Moment, too. The Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events. It is not an â&#x20AC;&#x153;eventâ&#x20AC;? but an act of conscience. Throughout our history, and especially during the past

decade, servicemen and women in foreign lands have been dying almost daily to protect freedom and liberty. We encourage all citizens to make every day Memorial Day in their hearts, but especially on Memorial Day itself. May the love of country always bond Americans together. For all of the fallen, let us continue to make this nation one great American family in spirit. To learn more, please go to www.ngl.org. -CARMELLA LaSPADA, FOUNDER, NO GREATER LOVE DEAR CARMELLA: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m printing your reminder in advance of Memorial Day so that readers can plan ahead for it. I know many

of them will be interested in observing it. Readers, wherever you are at 3 p.m. local time on Monday, May 28, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you join me in pausing for the National Moment of Remembrance and honoring those brave individuals who died for us? And when you do, make a commitment to give back to our country in their memory by putting your remembrance into action. DEAR ABBY: My parents were married 25 years. When Dad died last year, Mom was devastated. Then she got in touch with an old flame. She told us they were just friends. A few months later, she informed us she was moving across the country with him for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mutually

beneficial situation.â&#x20AC;? He gives her a place to stay, and she takes care of his house and the bills. She called recently to tell me that she has loved him since she was young and they are now getting married. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried because she has jumped into this so quickly. When they marry, Dad will have been gone not quite a year. I feel she is showing lack of respect for my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory and their marriage by doing this so soon. Should I be worried about her, or just happy she has found â&#x20AC;&#x153;loveâ&#x20AC;? again? -- DREADING THE WEDDING IN THE MIDWEST DEAR DREADING

THE WEDDING: While the man your mother is marrying is a stranger to you, he is obviously no stranger to her. They have a history that pre-dates your father. Going on with her life is not disrespectful to your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory. Be happy for your mother and cross your fingers that everything works out for her the way she wishes. Worrying about her will help neither of you.

a small piece of a job, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wind up with hundreds of small pieces instead of one finished job. That is, unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the leader. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in charge, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll

get it done. (If you would like to write to Holiday Mathis, please go to www.creators.com and click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Write the Authorâ&#x20AC;? on the Holiday Mathis page.)

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune finds irritating. When these two square off, certain topics of conversation will cause friction. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You were strongly persuaded -- maybe even tricked -- to do a job. In any case, you agreed, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that. Fantastic luck occurs because you keep your word. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your opinion is needed, but not more than your affection and admiration. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll realize the full scope of what you can give, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be judicious with your contributions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being too focused

on results, you may not realize all you have accomplished along the way. Look back and celebrate each milestone. For your efforts, you deserve, and will receive, the very best. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know better than to ask others what you should be doing. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ask your own heart. The answer you get may require interpretation and translation, but it will be exactly, perfectly â&#x20AC;&#x153;you.â&#x20AC;? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your own realm, you have a strong sense of purpose, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about foreign territory that makes you want to loaf around. Both environments are beneficial now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). At work, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a force being applied that keeps you on task and within a deadline. You may not like the pressure, but you have to admit itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effective. You wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the results without this force. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get excited about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming up. And even though you can see the outline of the future silhouetted on the horizon, when you actually get there, it will still be somewhat of a surprise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may be hard to wrap your head around another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to give genuine understanding to everyone you love. Your compassion will be returned in kind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21). Just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re orienting yourself to your own needs doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you are selfish. You are, in fact, doing others a favor by providing for yourself. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just easier this way! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your popularity can open doors for others and also move your own agenda along. Make good use of the rapport youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built and the relationships you so easily maintain. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The facts are apparent, and the answers are written in plain form. Because of this, a disagreement can now be settled without protest or drama. All will be resolved by evening. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If everyone does
