Walter Zinn

Trent Kelly

Democrat touts years of experience National defense is campaign focus

If some were surprised to find Walter Howard Zinn Jr. leading the pack on election night, the lone Democrat was not among them.

Having worked in political campaigns, he knew exactly what to expect when the votes were counted on May 12.

“I’m a consultant by trade,” Zinn said in a meeting with the Daily Corinthian on Friday. “Mathematically, we had analyzed this thing down to a tee.”

Benefitting from a field packed with a dozen Republicans, the Democrat advances to the June 2 runoff with Republican Trent Kelly in a bid to replace the late Alan Nunnelee in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Zinn believes he was the only candidate in the race pitching a different message.

“I realized I had more to offer the conversation than the kind of ‘kill, repeal, destroy’ message a lot of them advocated,” he said. “I had a more diverse background than any of them in this race. I had the most experience of any of them when it comes to dealing with federal resources. I don’t have to be taken to Washington, D.C., and introduced to leadership, because I’ve dealt with them already. I’ve worked with them with getting resources for the last seven years.”

The 34-year-old and eldest of six sib-

District Attorney Trent Kelly is campaigning on issues of national defense and the economy as the runoff election looms for the U.S. House of Representatives.

An attorney and Iraq War veteran, the Saltillo resident is nearing the end of a term as district attorney for the First Circuit Court District as he sets his sights on Congress.

“I just think it’s a great opportunity to serve the people of north Mississippi in the First Congressional District,” said Kelly. “It’s truly the people’s job.

You have to be elected every two years, which means you have to stay in touch with your constituency at all times.”

Before his election as district attorney, Kelly, 49, had been Tupelo’s city prosecutor since 1999. He has served with the Mississippi Army National guard since December 1985 and is currently the brigade commander for the 168th Engineer Brigade. His service has included three mobilizations, two of which were combat deployments.

The Republican names national defense as his top concern.

“We have very real threats to America out there,” said Kelly. “That’s one of the primary goals of the government is to defend its citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That being said,

WWII took man’s hero

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

Ray Bennett never got to meet his hero.

U.S. Army Corporal Elbert Prentiss Bennett of Marietta was transporting troops and refuges by railroad in France on April 7, 1945 when something went horribly wrong. The train derailed and the engine boiler exploded, killing Bennett instantly.

Back in the states the veteran left behind his 23-year widow, Mae Wynna Bennett, a

20-month-old daughter Eunice Mae, and a one-month-old infant son.

It was little Ray, who 70 years later would be asked to speak at the Memorial Day program on Sunday inside Corinth National Cemetery.

“There is nothing special about me,” Bennett told veterans and their families. “But I had a special dad.”

Shiloh program features youth

SHILOH, Tenn. — On Memorial Day as rain fell on the hallowed ground of Shiloh National Military Park, around 150 people gathered to remember the brave souls lost in war.

The park superintendent gave their annual keynote address a new twist with the addition of three fourth grade students, who read their essays on “What Memorial Day Means to Me?” “It is sad to me when I think of all of the soldiers we have lost,” said Biggersville Ele-

“On these grounds lie over 6,000 Americans — 4,000 of which are only known to God.” Dale Wilkerson Park superintendent mentary School student John Thomas Boucher. “We have lost many both in the wars and after, we honor their sacrifices on this day.”

A nervous but confident Boucher, who loves collecting historic bullets, continued.

“The losses are many from the Revolutionary War to the current war on terrorism. I would like to be able to say that maybe one day there will be no more wars,” Boucher said as he stood in front of the crowd.

“I thank all of the soldiers who fought for our country. We will always remember them. I hope they know we love them and their families for all they have done for us.”

Biggersville Elementary School fourth graders Audya Harris, John Thomas Boucher and Haley Dooley particiated in the annual Memorial Day service held at Shiloh National Military Park on Monday. The three students lead the crowd in singing the National Anthem, while Boucher read aloud his winning essay on “What Memorial Day Means to Me?�

provoking remarks hit home for many before him. “On this day, while you are with your families, friends, at the beach, on a picnic, wherever you may be, don’t forget to remember all of those brave men and women who died to create, protect and defend our country, our families and our rights,� he added.

The park held the essay contest in May among 14 schools with one winner selected to repre-

sent each area county.

Boucher’s essay was selected to representative Alcorn County, while fellow fourth graders Peyton White represented Hardin County, Tenn., and Mae Watson represented McNairy County, Tenn.

The annual Memorial Day service included the presentation of flags for each branch of the military along with an Armed Forces Medley.

The presentation also included the laying of a wreath on a grave of an unknown solider buried

at Shiloh. “On these grounds lie over 6,000 Americans -4,000 of which are only known to God,� said park superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “Memorial Day is a day for remembering the people who have died while fighting for our freedom.� “Let’s honor and remember them,� he added.

Heavy rains on Monday moved the essay readings from Shiloh National Cemetery to the auditorium inside the visitors center.

strong economy that’s based on less government,� with fewer regulations on small businesses. “Our economy is improving,� he said. “We want to continue to make sure that Mississippi and especially the First Congressional District has the opportunity to be economically prosperous.�

His first work out of college was with the department store McRae’s, and he completed their training program. Kelly believes his experience in the courtroom and the military have given him some good experience for Congress. “Most of the things I’m

faced with is ‘failure is not an option,’� he said. “It’s not enough to say that someone is guilty of a crime, or it’s not enough to say that we need to do this objective in the military. You have to find a way with the resources that you have to achieve your goals.�

With the DA’s office for a district that includes Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss, Lee, Pontotoc, Itawamba and Monroe counties, Kelly said he has managed a similar-sized staff to that of a congressman.

Also, “being a colonel in the Mississippi Army National Guard and a graduate with a master’s degree from the United

States Army War College, I think that helps me see things on a global and national perspective, and, of course, managing a brigade is another one of those opportunities where I managed 1,400 soldiers and everything from personnel to logistics to training to operations and intelligence.�

With the DA’s office, he feels he has already established good working relationships with leaders throughout the region. He maintains a DA office in Corinth as well as Tupelo, treating both as “main� offices. “We love Corinth,� he said. “It’s a very important economic center in north Mississippi.�

added Bennett, known as Bro. Ray as he is pastor at Candler’s Chapel in Prentiss County. “But he will forever be my hero.�

Corporal Bennett wrote a touching letter to his wife of 3 1/2 years on April 6, 1945, telling his family how much he missed and so wanted to be with them.

He would be another World War II casualty the very next day.

Lamenated for protection from the years gone by, Bro. Ray shared portions of the letter with Sunday’s crowd. Some words drew tears. Others drew laughs. “This is not about me,� stressed Bennett. “It’s about what our veterans went through.� “I’m honored my dad wrote that letter,� he added. “He so longed to get home and be with his family.�

Bennett always carries his father’s Army dog tag in his billfold, “so I’ll never forget,� shared the pastor. His dad is buried in France near the Belgium border.

Bro. Ray’s mom is now deceased. She died in 1991 at the age of 69. After the program, Bennett shared something he didn’t tell the crowd.

His mom never dated another man, nor did she ever remarry. “It would have been okay,� noted Bennett, who served as associate pastor at Wheeler Grove Baptist

Church for 14 years. “But she loved him and never anyone else.�

Bennett was draft eligible during the Vietnam War and when his mother got the news he was A1A -- at the top of the draft list -- “she threw a fit.� “I told her I needed to serve,� Bennett shared after the program was over.

But Mae Wynna Bennett had other plans.

When military officials learned Ray Bennett was the only son of a veteran who died in World War II, they declassified him.

A young Ray Bennett would never serve his country. Today Bro. Ray and his 71-year-old sister, Eunice Mae Sherrill, reside on the family farm in Marietta.

The keynote speaker at

Sunday’s program tried to make it clear -- both during the program and to individuals he greeted when it was over -- Memorial Day is about those who gave their lives for their country. “When folks threaten our country, I am glad there are men and women ready to put their lives on the line and defend our country,� he told those in attendance.

After several handshakes and word of thanks from those present, Bennett stressed the significance of Memorial Day. “This is not about me.

It’s about those who served and died,� he said.

Profound words, indeed, coming from a man who never met his hero.

JACKSON — U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran — the Mississippi Republican whose 2014 primary campaign drew national attention over an aspiring blogger’s photos of his bedridden wife — has married his longtime aide, his office said Monday.

The wedding to Kay Webber took place privately Saturday in Gulfport.

The senator’s former wife, Rose Cochran, died in December at age 73 from dementia after living in a nursing home for 13 years.

Political blogger Clayton Kelly took pictures of a bedridden Rose Cochran in April 2014, and officials say he intended to use the images to advance allegations that the senator was having an inappropriate

John Mary of Hattiesburg pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy and agreed to cooperate with investigators. Mary received no jail time and could have the conviction wiped from his record if he completes probation.

Ridgeland Attorney Mark Mayfield, who was charged with conspiracy, died by suicide in June, according to police.

The photograph controversy was only one part of a chaotic 2014 Republican primary in which Cochran was challenged by state Sen. Chris McDaniel, an Ellisville Republican. McDaniel led Cochran and one other Republican candidate in the June 3 primary. But Cochran rallied and defeated McDaniel by 7,667 votes in a runoff three weeks later, in part by making appeals

Reconstruction landmarks surveyed by Park Service

BY BRUCE SMITH Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — With its four-year observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War now past, the National Park Service is turning its attention to a lesserknown period of American history: the era of Reconstruction after the war.

The agency is embarking on a yearlong study to inventory sites throughout the South and beyond that are important to telling the sometimes-bloody story of Reconstruction — a time when 4 million blacks, freed from slavery, worked to build lives as a free people.

There also was some backlash from white southerners dealing with the Confederate defeat and coping with the end of the South’s system of slave labor.

The National Park Service is undertaking what it calls a national historic landmark theme study. It plans to identify nationally important sites dealing with the Reconstruction era from the Civil War through 1900 that could be designated national historic landmarks.

Robert Sutton, the agency’s chief historian in Washington, said the way that historians view Reconstruction has changed over the years.

“The old interpretation was that it was a disaster, that they did too much too soon and people weren’t really ready and it was mostly a negative thing,” Sutton said. “In the last 50 years, the research has been the complete opposite and that it was a very progressive program that did tremendous good and the real tragedy was that it

ended.”

Schools for blacks were built, blacks gained the right to own land, and some were elected to Congress, he said. But at the same time, hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan began to rise.

The study is being conducted with the help of two leading historians of the Reconstruction era - Kate Masur from Northwestern University in Chicago and Greg Downs of City University of New York.

Michael Allen, based at the Charles Pinckney National Historic Site on the South Carolina coast, is one of the National Park Service staffers working with the study.

He helped conduct a similar study that led to creation of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor reaching along the coast from the Carolinas to Florida. Now he’s turning his attention to Reconstruction.

“This is a reconnaissance to have an understanding of what exists, what can be researched and what can be visited,” he said. “It’s also being done to expand people’s horizons and knowledge of that time.”

Numerous South Carolina communities, including Snowden in Mount Pleasant and Liberty Hill in North Charleston, were started by freed blacks after the war, Allen said — and there are dozens of similar ones throughout the South.

The study will be wide, Sutton said, adding it also will look at sites that might be associated with the Ku Klux Klan and the backlash during Reconstruction.

to typically Democratic AfricanAmerican voters.

McDaniel filed a lawsuit claiming the runoff results were tainted by voting irregularities. A circuit judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying it was filed too late. The state Supreme Court upheld the dismissal Oct. 24.

Cochran was first elected to the U.S. House in 1972 and won his first six-year term in the Senate in 1978. He waited until late last year to announce he was seeking re-election, weeks after McDaniel had entered the race and lined up financial support from groups that sought to unseat longtime Republicans.

Cochran cruised to victory in the general election with 60 percent of the vote.

As Cochran’s aide, Webber makes $165,000 a year, Gallegos said.

ZINN CONTINUED FROM 1

“I spent many summers in church conventions across Northeast Mississippi,” he said.

His brother, Damien “ATL” Hughes, is a notable former CHS running back who holds the school’s record for the longest fumble return at 93 yards.

Experiences like attending Mississippi Boys State with the sponsorship of Judge Fred Wicker and then Boys Nation, where he had the opportunity to meet President Bill Clinton, fueled an interest in politics.

“I interned for the same seat I am seeking now when Roger Wicker was U.S. congressman,” said Zinn, who holds a bachelor of arts in history and political science from Millsaps College and a juris doctorate from Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge.

He has worked on political campaigns for Jim Hood, Jim Roberts, Travis Childers, Ronnie Musgrove and Carol Richards, among others.

“I’ve had a unique mixture of bedfellows politically for sure, across party lines,” he said.

He hopes to follow the success of others who hail from Pontotoc.

“I take a lot of pride in that, because it’s where Thad Cochran was born, Roger Wicker was raised, where Jim Roberts is from … I hope to be in that same legacy,” he said.

After managing a successful campaign in Jackson for

Fighting & Winning Your Financial Battles

Harvey Johnson Jr., who would regain the mayor’s office he had lost after two terms, Zinn became senior policy advisor for Johnson and his successor, Chokwe Lumumba. Directing the city’s legislative agenda, he helped the city secure a rare local option sales tax for infrastructure work. He also co-chaired the city’s committee overseeing the use of $12 million in stimulus funding.

“I’ve had to play the legislative process,” he said. “I know how county budgets work. I know how city budgets work.”

His key platform points include bringing a “renaissance in manufacturing” to the First Congressional District, ensuring all children can read and compute by second grace, promoting equal pay for women, and supporting initiatives that make health care more accessible and affordable.

“Every issue that I discuss is very personal,” he said.

“I understand the need for better economics so that my family has better economics.”

Ultimately, the candidate said he wants to be a part of a greater calling and help Mississippi get off the bottom of so many lists.

“Everybody deserves the opportunity to be healthy, raise their family, provide a good home, a good education,” said Zinn. “That’s the American dream, and that is absolutely broken for so many for far too long. If I can do something about it, that’s why I’m running.”

Corinth, Miss.

The return of Sid Vicious Charity Navigator should make this an informal rule: If your charity is employing Sidney Blumenthal, it automatically goes on the watch list.

The ethical controversies around Hillary Clinton and the Rich Clinton Foundation have often Lowry seemed 1990s redux, and never more so than when a New York National Review Times story resurfaced longtime Clinton loyalist Blumenthal.

According to the Times, from a perch at the Clinton Foundation, Blumenthal was sending Secretary of State Hillary Clinton memos on Libya that she forwarded around the State Department, even though they were occasion for eye-rolling by the professionals.

For those who don’t remember the 1990s, Sidney Blumenthal is the former writer for The New Republic, The Washington Post and The New Yorker whose devotion to the Clintons was too much even for his fellow journalists.

He eventually traded in his status as a quasiClinton apparatchik for official Clinton apparatchik, taking a job at the White House. He was noted for his conspiratorial thinking and nasty, highly personalized, whisper-campaign politics. Much can be learned about his smashmouth style by studying the social behavior of the spotted hyena.

Here we are in 2015, when everything old is not new again but as tiresome and toxic as it was 20 years ago. Ultimately, Blumenthal himself isn’t the issue. What’s interesting isn’t the suckerfish per se, but what it tells us about the shark.

When the Obama team went with Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, it undertook a high-stakes experiment never before attempted: Could it hire a Clinton and, with enough rules and constraints, force him or her to act in a manner above reproach? The Blumenthal affair is yet another indication that the answer is a resounding “no.”

Blumenthal happened to be sending Hillary memos about Libya at the same time that he was in league with people trying to make money in Libya.

Let’s think about this. One scenario is that Blumenthal’s would-be business associates got together and thought: “We need to find the best expert we can on North Africa, someone who understands the subtleties of Libyan political and tribal dynamics. Let’s get Sidney Blumenthal!”

Another is that they thought: “We need to find someone who is in tight with the Clintons and has a back channel to Hillary so, when the time comes, the State Department will give our venture the most favorable possible consideration. Let’s get Sidney Blumenthal!”

The Blumenthal story underlines what we already knew or suspected about Hillary’s tenure as secretary of state and at the Clinton Foundation.

She portrays herself as the picture of openness, explaining how she wants her emails public as soon as possible. But we wouldn’t know about the Clinton-Blumenthal correspondence but for the exertions of a Romanian hacker.

For all its good works, the Clinton Foundation was a political slush fund and holding tank for Clinton operatives. Presumably, the March of Dimes manages to get along without paying former government officials as they scheme to return to power.

The ethics of Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state were atrocious. In what world is it OK for the secretary of state to get and pass along back-channel advice from a friend about a country where he has business interests at stake?

Finally, it’s impossible to credit “the new Hillary” so long as she is dependent on the same old cronies. Asked about Blumenthal, Hillary said his emails were her effort to make sure she wasn’t “caught in the bubble.” Because nothing keeps you intellectually fresh and on your toes like emails from a loyal hatchet man of some 20 years and counting.

(Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)

Prayer for today Eternal God, I pray that thou wilt graciously restore my spirits if I may have settled into despondency over my disappointments. May I have the will to rise above them, and patiently strive for renewed hope. Amen.

A verse to share “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”

Psalms 100:3

Obama’s hot-air commencement address I didn’t attend my commencement ceremony at American University in Washington, D.C. I chose instead to receive my degree in the mail. I didn’t want to listen to a boring speaker, likely unaffiliated with the school or anyone in it, drone on in Washington’s notorious summer heat.

Too bad graduates of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy did not have the same option. They had to endure a commencement address by President Obama on “climate change.”

Linking the rise of Islamic terrorism to a warming planet, the president told the grads, “Understand, climate change did not cause the conflicts we see around the world. Yet what we also know is that severe drought helped to create the instability in Nigeria that was exploited by the terrorist group Boko Haram. It’s now believed that drought and crop failures and high food prices helped fuel the early unrest in Syria, which descended into civil war in the heart of the Middle East.”

Really? Are young girls and women being raped and forced into slavery because religious fanatics can’t grow crops on arid land? Marie Harf, a State Department

spokeswoman, recently claimed that lack of jobs is what turns people into terrorists.

Cal Which is it?

If “climate Thomas change” made Columnist t e r r o r i s m possible, how does the president explain violent jihadism dating back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad, long before carbon was a concern, or even a footprint? If unemployment causes terrorism, millions of jobless Americans would be taking up arms.

No amount of evidence will dissuade a climate change cultist that he is wrong, but for students who might Google the subject for a term paper, let’s try.

Responding to the president’s address, Marc Morano, who runs climatedepot.com (with numerous links to scientific studies, including data from NASA, NOAA, and other credible sources) said this: “It is hard to even take today’s speech by Obama seriously on either a logical, scientific or political level. The speech was so farcical in its claims that it hardly merits a response. It is obvious that the climate establish-

ment is seeking new talking points on ‘global warming’ to change the subject from the simple fact that global temperatures are not cooperating with their claims.”

Don’t you love farce?

According to Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) data, “Since December 1996, there has been no global warming at all. ... A new record length for the Pause: 18 years 5 months. ... The discrepancy between prediction and observation continues to widen.”

In fact, extreme weather has failed to follow the alarmist predictions of climate change cultists. Data readily available and linked to scientific studies through climatedepot.com has found no trends, or declining trends when it comes to the frequency of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods and wildfires.

What about the multiyear drought in California, you might ask? According to NOAA, in 2014 rainfall in California returned to its normal pattern, though reservoirs will take a while to replenish. Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina calls the most recent drought “a manmade disaster. With different policies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided.”

Appearing on Glenn Beck’s radio program, Fiorina added that the “tragedy” of California is that the state has “suffered from droughts for millennia” and still “liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water conveyance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”

Francesco Femia, cofounder of the think tank Center for Climate and Security, speaking with Moyers and Company’s John Light, claims “climate change” contributed to the civil war in Syria. Various liberals back him up.

The Coast Guard Academy graduates deserved better from their commandin-chief. At least Kermit the Frog – who “spoke” at Southampton College on Long Island in 1996 – was entertaining.

President Obama’s address was just more hot air on a subject many Americans believe doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

For them, Islamic terrorism, not droughts, ice or tornadoes, presents a far greater clear and present danger.

Gaming revenues on the decline

BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside-Sun (Jackson)

Sugar Ditch is broke after 20 years of living the high life.

In 2006, river gaming revenues peaked in the river counties at about $1.7 billion. Now it’s under a billion. That’s a huge blow to this once high-flying industry.

Tunica County gaming has borne most of the drop, falling from $1.2 billion in 2006 to $738 million last year. Gulf Coast gaming has fared much better, but still falling from a peak of $1.3 billion in 2007 to a billion today.

Like many industries, competition and the internet are to blame. Half the states in the U.S. now allow commercial gaming, up from two states in 2006.

There are now Indianowned casinos in 37 states, up from none in 1987.

Overall, gaming is up solidly throughout the nation over the last two decades.

Americans lost $17 billion to the casinos in 1995. Last year, it was $69 billion. Online gaming revenues in the U. S. are estimated at over $40 billion.

The problem is that Mississippi is losing market share. Mississippi gaming revenues haven’t been this low since 1997.

Competing casinos are now as near as West Memphis, Shreveport and Alabama.

The effect on Mississippi’s tax revenue is about a $175 million decline. That’s enough to fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.

Local governments have been devastated as well, none more so than Tunica County.

In 2007, Tunica County received a whopping $32 million in gaming revenue.

That number has almost been cut in half, prompting the board of supervisors to attempt to raise taxes by millions. The county is $70 million in debt and broke.

So broke that a threemember bloc of Tunica supervisors voted to withhold the City of Tunica’s 10 percent share of the casino tax revenue. The supervisors claim the state legislation allocating the county-city split is unconstitutional.

The city has responded by accusing the county in writ-

ing of a “deliberate violation of a valid state law. “The city gets 80 percent of its revenue from gaming taxes. The matter is now being fought in the courts.

Other Mississippi counties are carefully watching this legal battle. Millions of dollars are on the line.

Tunica County’s withholding of the money has put the city in dire straits. It’s a huge mess.

Bear in mind that for decades, Tunica County got by with no casino revenue at all 20 years ago when it had 30 percent fewer residents.

Given the loss in revenue, you would think the county would make an effort to significantly cut expenses. Instead, the three-supervisor voting bloc is continuing its high-flying spending ways.

For instance, a $3 million tornado shelter is in the works. These storm shelters, which have been built all over the state, are unused boondoggles.

In the process, Tunica supervisors stuck it to the casinos, raising their taxes 50 percent, a move the casinos called “crippling,” Soon, 90 percent of the county’s $35 million budget will come

from the casinos.

Even after the huge casino tax increase, there is still a bit shortfall. With only 5,000 households in Tunica County, additional tax increases would also be a huge burden. Many lowerincome residents don’t pay property taxes. This leaves the affluent minority to carry the load.

This has the makings of a complete governmental meltdown. Behind it all is the spectre of race. The county voting bloc is all African American and the City of Tunica is majority white.

You can’t have a governmental disaster like this without secrecy. Indeed, the supervisors have been using executive session to keep out inquiring minds.

State auditor Stacey Pickering has gotten involved, warning the supervisors they could be held personably liable for withholding funds from the city.

Next month, retired Circuit Judge Henry Lackey (of Dickie Scruggs fame) will hear motions from both sides in the city-county dispute.

Let’s hope he moves expeditiously before the meltdown does irreparable damage.

Woman’s dayslong drill protest ends BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The woman who had been hanging off the anchor chain of a support ship that is part of Royal Dutch Shell’s plans to explore for oil in the Arctic Ocean ended her dayslong protest north of Seattle on Monday morning.

Student activist Chiara D’Angelo requested assistance getting down from her perch on the Arctic Challenger in the Bellingham harbor around 9:30 a.m. Monday, the Coast Guard said.

D’Angelo was checked for hypothermia and then released, Petty Officer 3rd Class Katelyn Shearer said.

She spent the weekend attached to the ship in an environmental protest against Shell’s plans to drill for oil in the Chukchi Sea off northwestern Alaska. The oil company’s proposal also has drawn large protests in Seattle, where a massive, floating drill rig is being prepared for the excursion.

A second protester, Matt Fuller, joined D’Angelo from Saturday morning until Sunday.

The Coast Guard cutter Ospry spent the weekend monitoring the activists but took no action, Shearer said.

Shell said Sunday that the illegal stunt would not delay its plans. “We respect the rights of individuals to express their views related to our Arctic program, so long as they do so safely and lawfully,â€? company spokesman Curtis Smith said. Â

Slaying by ex-guard brings up questions NEW YORK — At the height of the evening rush in Brooklyn, Gilbert Drogheo took a subway ride that he didn’t survive.

Drogheo, a 32-yearold electrician’s apprentice and father of a 5-year-old daughter, was fatally shot in a crowded station by another man who said he wanted to apprehend him for assault.

The shooter, William Groomes, wasn’t a police officer — he was

a 68-year-old former city jail guard who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon.

Despite the emergence of a cellphone video showing Groomes appearing to pursue Drogheo before the shooting, prosecutors declined last month to charge him. The decision has left Drogheo’s grieving family dismayed and raised questions about the line separating self-defense from vigilantism. “I’ve watched the video 100 times, and I still ask myself, ‘Why wasn’t he charged?’� said Drogheo’s mother, Linda Rodriguez. “It makes me so angry. ... It’s like he got away with murder.�

Groomes, who retired in 1993, hasn’t spoken publicly. However, his supporters say Drogheo was the aggressor and Groomes had a right to protect himself.

Groomes “is taking this very, very hard,â€? said Norman Seabrook, president of the city jail union. “It’s sad because he lives with this every day.â€? Â

Residents praise paid family leave PROVIDENCE, R.I. — As President Barack Obama pushes for a federal law to get paid leave to care for a new baby or an ailing relative, residents of one of the three states that already provide it sing its praises, hinting at the reception it could receive if rolled out nationally.

Rhode Island last year began allowing workers to take up to four weeks of paid leave.

Many workers say they love the program, and employers say it hasn’t hurt business as some had feared.

Anne Quirk, of Providence, had planned to take three months of unpaid leave from her job as a speech language pathologist after she gave birth. But she needed five months off after her doctor ordered her on bedrest on Mother’s Day last year; then, her son was born prematurely in June. “It was just such a stress reliever, knowing there was going to be money to help us pay the bills,� said Quirk, who gushed about the

program to Obama when he visited Rhode Island in October. “I don’t know what we would’ve done without it.�

About 5,000 people have taken paid family leave in Rhode Island so far. New Jersey and California are the other states that provide it, and several states are considering it. Washington state passed legislation but has put off implementing it.

The United States is the only industrialized nation that doesn’t mandate paid leave for mothers of newborns.

Obama wants Congress to allocate more than $2 billion to help states create paid family and medical leave programs, and he wants to provide federal workers with additional paid leave. Â

Casino revenues see uptick on river, coast JACKSON — Gamblers lost more money at Mississippi casinos in April, as continued gains at Gulf Coast gambling halls were joined by a rare up month at casinos along the Mississippi River.

State Department of Revenue figures show casinos statewide won $177.1 million from gamblers in April, up 8.1 percent from $163.8 million in April 2014.

The 11 coastal casinos won $94.3 million, up 11.5 percent from April 2014. The 17 river casinos won $82.8 million, up 4.4 percent from last year.

It’s the ninth month in 11 that revenue rose along the coast, but only the third time in 34 months along the river.

Overall casino revenue has risen 1 percent for the first four months of 2014. Â

Health care case could have fallout WASHINGTON — A Supreme Court ruling due in a few weeks could wipe out health insurance for millions of people covered by President Barack Obama’s health care law. But it’s Republicans — not White House officials — who have been talking about damage control.

A likely reason: Twenty-six of the 34 states that would be most affected by the ruling have Republican governors, and 22 of the 24 GOP Senate seats up in 2016 are in those states.

Obama’s law offers subsidized private insurance to people without access to it on the job.

In the court case, opponents of the law argue that its literal wording allows the federal government to subsidize coverage only in states that set up their own health insurance markets.

Most states have not done so, because of the intense partisanship over “Obamacare� and in some cases because of technical problems.

Instead, they rely on the federal HealthCare.gov website.

If the court invalidates the subsidies in those states, an estimated 8 million people could lose coverage.

The results would be “ugly,� said Sandy Praeger, a former Kansas insurance commissioner.

King’s daughters say aides poisoned him LAS VEGAS — Two B.B. King heirs who’ve been most outspoken about the blues legend’s final days are accusing King’s two closest aides of poisoning him.

Daughters Karen Williams and Patty King allege in documents provided by their lawyer to The Associated Press that King’s business manager, LaVerne Toney, and his personal assistant, Myron Johnson, killed their father.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg (FYOU’den-berg) said Monday that an autopsy was performed Sunday on King’s embalmed body, and test results will take up to eight weeks.

Las Vegas police Lt. Ray Steiber confirmed that homicide detectives are investigating.

The coroner says King’s body has been returned to a mortuary, and the investigation shouldn’t delay planned memorials this week in Memphis, Tennessee, and Indianola, Mississippi. Â

Amory and Smithville.

Monroe County Emergency Management Agency Director Robert “Bunky� Goza says no deaths or injuries were reported from the storm, which hit about 9 a.m.

Monday.

Goza says tree damage is widespread in central Amory, with power out. Harbormaster Scott Cox says trees and boat sheds were damaged at the Smithville Marina.

Marlene Mickelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee, says forecasters observed a severe thunderstorm with rotation. She says a Weather Service team will survey damage and determine if it was caused by a tornado. Â

Hospital could lose Medicare funding JACKSON — Officials have warned that a Jackson hospital it could lose Medicare funding if the hospital does not change how it handles emergency care patients.

Merit Health Central Hospital, formerly known as Central Mississippi Medical Center, has been criticized for transferring some emergency patients to other hospitals, The Clarion-Ledger reports.

Federal law prohibits “patient dumping,� in which a hospital transfers patients to another hospital because they can’t pay.

Merit officials deny such practices have taken place, saying that doctors who make the decision to transfer patients have no knowledge of the patients’ financial situations.

Sandra Pace of the Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services wrote to the hospital’s CEO Lisa Dolan on May 13, saying the hospital’s approach to emergency patients is dangerous.

Pace says Medicare could sever its ties with the for-profit hospital by June 5. “We have determined that the deficiencies are so serious that they constitute an immediate threat and jeopardy to the health and safety of any individual who comes to your hospital with an emergency medical condition,â€? Pace wrote. Â

Minister among four charged in sex crime MCCOMB — A McComb minister is among four former police officers charged with sexual activity with a jail inmate.

The Enterprise-Journal reports that a county grand jury charged each on two counts of sexual activity with an inmate at the Marion-Walthall Correctional Facility.

They’re identified as Vansan Josea Oatis, now minister at Walker’s Chapel Free Will Baptist Church; Justin Codey Herrington, Richard Charles Pack and Michael Williams.

Online phone directories did not include numbers where The Associated Press could reach them for comment Sunday. There was no immediate response to a message left on the church’s answering machine.

Oatis and at least one other former officer worked at the Columbia police department. He resigned; the other was fired.

Oatis was arrested last week and has posted $10,000 bond.

Obama honors fallen soldiers

BY DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Va. — President Barack Obama on Monday saluted Americans who died in battle, saying the country must “never stop trying to fully repay them” for their sacrifices. He noted it was the first Memorial Day in 14 years without U.S. forces engaged in a major ground war.

Speaking under sunny skies to some 5,000 people in an amphitheater on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, Obama said the graveyard is “more than a final resting place of heroes.”

“It is a reflection of America itself,” he said, citing racial and religious diversity in the backgrounds of the men and woman who paid the ulti-

mate sacrifice to preserve “the ideals that bind us as one nation.”

His appearance is an annual rite for presidents at the cemetery nestled among verdant hills overlooking the Potomac River. It came months after the end of the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan, where the number of stationed troops has been reduced to about 10,000 from a peak of more than 100,000.

His tribute also took place against a backdrop of the increasingly complex U.S.-led effort to help Iraq defeat the Islamic State extremist group, which has been gaining momentum in recent weeks by capturing Ramadi there and taking Palmyra in neighboring Syria.

Obama made no mention of America’s partici-

What is your goal in life?

The selection is rather long. Many never really set a goal for themselves. If we aim for nothing, this is usually our accomplishment. Some say I want a large plot of land to farm and graze a large herd of cattle... or I want to be a successful business person or I want to be a honest politician.

These are noble goals in life and can successfully achieved.

That person who set goals in life and leaves God out is a very foolish person. The Bible “...for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15) That is a very sobering thought, is it not?

Jesus provides true guidance in setting correct goals in life. First - am I a child of God? We become such by obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many have not grasped that goal yet, but Christ has grasped that goal for every accountable person. The Bible”... come unto me-” (Matt. 11:28) “Behold I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, are you listening, and open the door, I will come in-” (Rev. 3:20).

All human efforts fail. There is no alternate route to redemption. Knowledge gives birth to faith. By putting faith in Christ one comes to know Him. Repentance calls for man to change a life style The Bible - “Repent or perish...”

(Luke 13:3-5) Tell the community that I have changed confess the sweetest name of all. The Bible - “...I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” (Acts 8:37). “Now, why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized. and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” (Acts 22:16). Show your faith in Christ - obeying Him, trusting Him to save you, Is this your goal? If not, why?

Set your goal to follow Christ. It is only now - this life time. The Bible identifies many who failed to follow the Lord’s instruction. We must not make that mistake. Noah and the Ark. (Gen. 6-7). The wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Gen. 18). We have another lovely story about a man who chose not to obey and serve God - but he chose to ignore God and he died. He asked for Abraham’s help, but was denied. Moses and the prophets were his teachers, but he ignored them. My friends, do not make the same mistake... Read Luke 16:19-31.

What can we learn? Set your goal to obey and serve Christ - Now. You are always welcome to Northside, Read your Bible.

pation with other nations in the effort to stop the Islamic State. His effort there has come under intensifying criticism since the fall of Ramadi with lawmakers calling for a bigger show of American force there, including ground troops.

Vice President Joe Biden spoke Monday with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and pledged full U.S. support for Iraqi efforts to reclaim territory from the Islamic State, including by speeding up the provision of U.S. training and equipment, the White House said.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter had said in a nationally broadcast interview aired Sunday that Iraqi forces “showed no will to fight” and fled as the Islamic State advanced on Ramadi. The White House said in a statement that Biden’s call “recognized the enormous sacrifice and bravery of Iraqi forces over the past 18 months in Ramadi and elsewhere.”

In his remarks at Arlington National Cemetery, Obama said most of the remaining troops should be removed from Afghanistan by the end of 2016.

He recognized the more than 2,200 “patriots” who sacrificed themselves in Afghanistan, including the final two to be killed before the U.S. combat mission ended late last year. He also recognized

the first American killed during the “new mission” to train Afghan forces, an Army medic who died in April.

Earlier, troops stationed in that war-wracked country observed a moment of silence in honor of fallen comrades there.

Presaging Monday’s solemn event at Arlington was the roar of motorcycle engines throughout the nation’s capital on Sunday as thousands of bikers saluted veterans with Rolling Thunder’s “Ride for Freedom.” That was followed by a concert of patriotic music Sunday evening and Obama’s private breakfast Monday at the White House with representatives of veteran and military family service organizations.

A Memorial Day parade also was held Monday in downtown Washington.

North Dakota marked the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking for the state’s Veterans Cemetery south of Mandan.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple directed all state agencies to fly the U.S. and state flags at half-staff, a practice put in place across the country. In South Dakota, Gov. Dennis Daugaard asked state residents to observe the president’s request that Americans unite in prayer at 11 a.m. local time and that a moment of silence be observed at 3 p.m. for the National Moment of Remembrance.

and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to service time.

Mr. Phillips died May 24, 2015, at his home. Born November 13, 1932, he was a retired factory worker at Eljer’s.

Survivors include his wife of 10 years, Dorothy M. Phillips, of Corinth; sons, Donnie Phillips (Maxine), Ronnie Phillips and Kenny Phillips (Teresa) of Phillips Pontotoc; step-son, Bill Maricle (Lana) of Hampton, Va.; daughters, Sheila Roberts (Tommy) of Baldwin and Martha Irby of Saltillo; step-daughters, Sherry Porterfield of Booneville, Alissa Reynolds (Tim) of Burnsville, Tonia Fowler (Lane) of Corinth and Margaret Smith of Kossuth; brother, Joe Lee Phillips (Barbara) from Burnsville; sister, Bertha Williams of Burnsville; grandchildren, Tommy Phillips (Tracy), Jamie Phillips (Freda), Karmandy Yates (Cliff), Lenita Cobbs (Brandon), Andy Roberts (Courtney), Nicole Cook (Adam) and Justin Irby; 12 step-grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; 10 stepgreat grandchildren; other relatives and a host of friends.

Bill: Let patients get partners’ STD meds

BY ANN SANNER Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A bill in Ohio seeks to expand access to treatment for certain sexually transmitted diseases by allowing doctors to prescribe medication to their patients’ partners without examining them.

Licensed health professionals in Ohio must first see patients before prescribing them antibiotics. But legislation before state lawmakers would create a limited exception for partners of patients who have been diagnosed with chlamydia, trichomoniasis or gonorrhea. The aim is to reduce infections.

Ohio is one of four states that prohibit expedited partner therapy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Others are Florida, West Virginia and Kentucky.

Ohio’s rate of reported gonorrhea and chlamydia cases is higher than the national average, with most cases occurring among residents ages 15 to 24.

For every 100,000 people in Ohio, 460 have chlamydia and 144 have gonorrhea, according to 2013 health statistics from the CDC. Ohio ranks seventh among states in its rate of re-

ported gonorrhea cases, and 19th in its rate of reported chlamydia cases.

Republican state Rep. Steve Huffman, a physician from Tipp City, said he was surprised to learn that Ohio lagged behind others in permitting expedited partner therapy.

He co-sponsored the bill.

Now, Ohio doctors can only encourage infected patients to tell their partners they should be seen and treated, Huffman said. But it’s difficult to get young people, particularly men, to seek medical care.

“This is solving a problem that’s already happening,” he said.

The legislation would permit a prescriber to treat up to two partners of one patient without examination.

Those partners could remain anonymous. But if their names are given, the nurse or doctor must try to reach them. The bill also requires pharmacists to explain potential side effects of the medication.

Partner treatment proposals in West Virginia and Kentucky passed House committees but failed to gain traction before state lawmakers adjourned for the year.

The CDC has endorsed expedited partner therapy for chlamydia and gonorrhea since 2006 and says evidence shows it’s an effective prevention strategy. Chlamydia can permanently damage a woman’s reproductive system, making it difficult or impossible to get pregnant later on.

Dr. Gail Bolan, director of the CDC’s division of STD prevention, said reluctance at the state level to expedited partner therapy often reflects the attitude of the clinical community.

Physicians are trained to not provide care without a good-faith exam of their patients, so the approach is a change in thinking.

“Unfortunately, we found that sometimes the clinical provider community doesn’t realize that doing nothing is actually causing more reproductive health harm for women in their state than (expedited partner therapy) is,” Bolan said.

Never settle for anything less You don’t have to settle for less than you want.

Lowering of one’s standards is more common than striving to boost Bryan results. ReGolden ducing expectations Dare to Live obviously Without Limits requires less effort.

But if you want less and get less, will you really be content?

All too often we hear discouraging comments such as, “stop dreaming,” “that’s not realistic,” “you’re expecting too much,” or “that’s just not possible.” Believing these statements cause us to lower our expectations.

Our measure of acceptability is then reduced accordingly.

Taking this approach leads to a life of mediocrity. You accept what is rather than expecting what could be. Excuses are used to justify where you are. When you settle, absence of pain is interpreted as happiness. Lack of sadness becomes happiness.

Lowering the bar to accommodate mediocrity causes a decline in results. A case in point is the approach used by school districts in response to worsening student test scores. In order give the illusion of more successful students, the minimum passing grade is lowered. This approach effectively sanctions me-

diocrity instead of boosting performance.

Are you taking the same approach in your life? Do you settle by lowering your standards to make circumstances feel better than they actually are?

The trap is comparing one situation to another one which is even worse. In so doing, the better situation can be justified in comparison to how bad things were or could be.

Jon always had a vision of what he wanted in an ideal personal relationship. He felt it should be one of mutual caring and sharing, where each was an equal partner concerned about the wellbeing of the other. The reality of Jon’s relationship with Mary was much different than what he imagined it

should be. They’re interaction fluctuated a great deal. There were constant ups and extreme downs.

Jon never knew what would be transpiring next.

The low points were complete agony for Jon. During those periods, he felt frustrated, sad, and depressed. As much as he suffered, Jon was hesitant to end the relationship.

He had been together with Mary for several years and didn’t have a lot of self-confidence that he would be able to find another relationship. Furthermore, when things were calm, Jon felt good.

Even though the relationship on the best days was clearly not what he used to hope for, compared to the worst days, they seemed outstanding. Jon

was settling for less than what he really wanted. He made excuses to justify remaining where he was instead of working to achieve his ideal situation.

Jon was settling for, “It’s the best I can do.”

This is just one example. The same scenario plays out with jobs, living situations, friends, recreation, etc. It’s not an issue of who is right and who is wrong. The important focus is whether or not you are achieving what you really want.

Waiting for circumstances to improve is not an effective strategy. Deliberate action is required to either transform your situation into what you were hoping for or change to a more desirable path.

Achieving your dreams

takes persistence. Not everything works out as planned. Don’t become discouraged. Don’t give up. It takes as much effort to suffer and settle as it does to achieve what you want.

Formulate standards based on comparison to other people or situations.

Remember that true joy is much more than absence of sadness.

Students see museum BOONEVILLE — Northeast Mississippi Community College students got a chance to understand history in a unique setting during the 2015 spring semester.

Twenty-eight students along with three Northeast instructors made the short trek to the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn.

As part of the studies in the classes of instructors Ken Baroff, Will Bowlin and Seth Pounds, the students were learning about the Civil Rights Movement throughout American history and the Twenty-eight Northeast Mississippi Community College students along with three Northeast instructors got to visit the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., during a field trip to the Bluff City during the 2015 spring semester. As part of their studies in the classes of instructors Ken Baroff, Will Bowlin and Seth Pounds, the students were able to relive some of America’s history while learning about the Civil Rights Movement.

Officials moving closer to restraint policy vote Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi Department of Education is moving forward with a proposed policy to regulate when schools can use seclusion or restraints on unruly students, according to a newspaper report.

The Clarion-Ledger reported Sunday that the agency plans to have a task force create a final draft of a proposal written last month in response to some teachers’ controversial discipline practices.

The proposed policy would prohibit school districts from using chemical restraints, such as sedatives, or mechanical restraints like straps, the paper reported. It added that physical restraint or seclusion would only be allowed if the child’s behavior poses “imminent

danger” to the child or to others. All incidences also would have to be recorded, and the child’s parents would have to be notified, according to the report.

“I think it’s long overdue,” said 3rd District U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper, the Republican congressman who in 2013 co-sponsored federal legislation seeking to establish minimum standards for the practice. It didn’t pass.

Board members won’t vote on the policy until after a mandatory public comment period.

If the proposal is adopted, Mississippi would join several other states that implemented similar policies after U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan urged school districts in 2012 to review the matter.

Defense chief’s criticism of Iraqis raises questions Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Islamic State group’s takeover of the Iraqi provincial capital Ramadi has prompted criticism from Defense Secretary Ash Carter and raised questions about the Obama administration’s strategy to defeat the extremist group.

The Islamic State group, which had already seized a strategically important swath of the Middle East, seized Ramadi in central Iraq a week ago, which has revived concerns about U.S. efforts to fight the group.

The Obama administration’s approach in Iraq is a blend of retraining and rebuilding the Iraqi army, prodding the Shiite-dominated govern-

ment in Baghdad to reconcile with the nation’s Sunnis and bombing Islamic State group targets from the air without committing American ground combat troops.

President Barack Obama’s strategy is predicated on Baghdad granting political concessions to the country’s alienated Sunnis, who are a source of personnel and money for the Islamic State group. But there has been little visible progress on that front. Baghdad has continued to work closely with Shiite militias backed

by Iran, which have been accused of atrocities against Sunnis, a religious minority in Iraq that ruled until Saddam Hussein fell from power.

instructors used the trip to help students better understand some of the concepts that the courses covered.

Many of the students that were part of the trip were members of the college’s U.S. History classes but others, who had a keen interest in the history of the nation, went along as well.

In addition to the solemn nature of the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, the students were able to see the Bluff City and even took part in watching the marching of the ducks at the Peabody Hotel.

Wife wants out of marriage to join the woman she loves D E A R ABBY: I’m a 48-yearold woman. I have known I was gay since I was 14.

No one Abigail beVan Buren knows cause I never acted on Dear Abby it until I met “Bob,” my current common-law husband of 25 years.

I fell in love with his sister, “Janelle,” back then.

We kissed a few times and fell deeply in love, but because we didn’t want to hurt Bob, we ended what we had.

Bob and I raised my son, who is being married this year.

Through all these years my feelings and Janelle’s have never changed.

We love each other and want the chance to be together that we were denied back then.

I have given Bob 25 faithful years. I love him, but I am not in love with him. We are like two ships passing in the night. He has a temper and is vindictive.

I want out of this relationship to be with his sister.

I have asked her to marry me, and she agreed. We don’t want to hurt Bob, but we love each other.

Please advise me how to tell my husband I want out and want to be with his sister. — WANTS OUT BACK EAST DEAR WANTS OUT: Considering that Bob has a temper and can be vindictive, I suggest you do it in stages.

The first is to tell him that you are not happy in the marriage and haven’t been for a long time.

Depending upon your talent as an actress for the last quartercentury, he may or may not be surprised.

Then it will be time to tell him that you have known for a long time that you were more attracted to women than to men. Because you can’t predict how he will react, do it in the presence of someone else -- but NOT Janelle.

Because there can be legal ramifications regarding a common-law marriage, you should discuss this with a lawyer before telling Bob you want a divorce.

Only after you have left him and several months have elapsed should you and his sister let it be known that you plan to have a life together.

I say that because vindictive people with nasty tempers can be violent.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are in our 50s and have legal custody of three of our grandchildren, who are between the

ages of 3 and 8 years old.

We have been raising them since birth.

My wife is nearing the end of her battle with cancer.

My family -- my mother, siblings and son -- keep asking me what I’m going to do when my wife passes away.

They say they know people who would adopt the children.

I don’t wish to be nasty, but I need to let them know that I am able to take care of my grandchildren.

Can you please tell me how to tell my family that I can raise my grandchildren without hurting their feelings like they have hurt mine when they mention adoption? — HURT GRANDFATHER IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR HURT: Yes, the words to use are: “When you say that to me, it hurts me deeply, so please don’t say it again. I will raise these children just as I always have, and I do not plan to ever turn them over to strangers.”

Period.

Expressing it this way is not hurtful; it clarifies your feelings.

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).

Those close to you will sense how you’re feeling. Then again, so will complete strangers, and perhaps with even more accuracy. If influencing others is on the agenda, be sure to put yourself in a terrific mood before you leave the house.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s a chant inside you, a mantra repeated from morning to night, waxing and waning in intensity throughout the day.

This inside talk is not necessarily true. Challenge it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you reach out in joy and curiosity, life meets you with enthusiasm and inclusiveness.

You don’t require the people you meet to delight you, but they will anyway!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The work you do today to accept your thoughts and manage your expectations will lead to your next leap in emotional maturity.

It is said that the strong master others, but the powerful master

themselves.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Neutrality is not negativity. Don’t confuse the two. Someone’s neutral feelings toward you could turn positive with a smile and a kind word. Try that before you assume a person doesn’t like you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do birds change their tune? Sure, they do it all the time in their efforts to communicate clearly to one another. You’ll change your tune, too. It’s not duplicitous; it’s accommodating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The things that seem like tiny coincidences are not. They are evidence of your role in a larger web of consciousness. When what you think of materializes in some funny way, it’s a wink from the universe to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your social icebreaker will be a joke that’s self-deprecating, but only slightly. Go too far with that, and it seems disingenuous. Tonight, what’s fun is also good for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Crushes are not only for schoolgirls. They’re for anyone who’s ever been infected by someone’s person and gotten carried away with the impression in spite of themselves.

Someone’s crushing on you now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can always reinvent yourself, but it’s more difficult in familiar settings. That’s why the new environment today is an opportunity not to be missed!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ve been an angel before.

Remember when you appeared at the right time to help someone? You’ll be an angel again as you stay aware of your environment and respond accordingly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s no need to swim upstream right now. There’s a time to find your inner salmon, but this isn’t it. You’re not being called back to the shore where you were born, so float along today.

How to survive a nauseating group lunch Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My husband and I meet up with a group of family and close friends every week for lunch.

One couple in this group (a close family member and her spouse) constantly blow their noses during our get-togethers.

They use cloth handkerchiefs, which are then reused multiple times, and her husband picks his nose, as well. It is nauseating to all of us, not to mention to other diners nearby.

A few of the couples have told us they will not attend any more lunches unless absolutely necessary.

We do not want a family feud, but I think we need to do something before our social gatherings fall apart.

The one with the most appalling manners is a college graduate with an excellent job.

You would think he would know better, but it’s difficult to tell him anything.

How do we fix this without alienating them altogether? — Sickened and Frustrated Dear Sickened: People who believe they are entitled to nauseate others because they have sinus issues are not likely to listen to anyone. Some friends and family tolerate these unpleas-

ant encounters because they value the person enough to put up with the constant nose blowing, no matter how unappetizing.

Yet these tolerated friends do not seem to give the same value to their companions’ sensitivities.

(There is no excuse for picking one’s nose.)

While we understand and sympathize with folks who have terrible allergies and need to dab at their noses frequently, that is not the same as major nose and throat clearing where mucus exits the system.

For those moments, a trip to the restroom is called for, even if that means absenting yourself from the table more often than you’d like. The other alternative, of course, is to meet at a place where you will not be eating. It’s the combination of food and snot that makes this so unpleasant.

Dear Annie: This is for “Hopeless,” who likes a boy who asked for her

phone number, and now she is waiting for him to call, which he hasn’t.

I could have written that letter. I, too, liked a guy, and after six months, he asked a mutual friend for my phone number.

But he never called. Another six months went by while I waited. Finally, I asked him out.

It turns out, he was so shy he couldn’t make the call. Even after we began dating, it took him three years to ask me to marry him because he was so afraid I’d turn him down -- even though we were only seeing each other and I loved him.

So, I’d like to tell her to hang in there. Her guy may be terribly shy and inexperienced, so be patient and take it slow.

If he’s anything like my guy, he’ll be worth the wait. We’ve been married for 30 years now and are still going strong. — Been There Dear Been: A lot of young women don’t realize that guys can be shy, no matter how sure of themselves they may seem on the surface. It takes courage to ask a girl out, and rejection can be hard to take.

Women have lived with this for centuries, but we don’t always consider that guys may have the same insecurities.

UCLA baseball is No. 1 seed

BY ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer

OMAHA, Neb. — UCLA’s dominance in the Pac-12 this spring impressed the Division I Baseball Committee so much that the Bruins on Monday were awarded their first No. 1 national seed for the NCAA tournament.

The Bruins (42-14) edged out Southeastern Conference regular-season champion LSU (48-10) even though they lost two of three at Oregon in their last series.

“UCLA has been there for much of the season. LSU is an outstanding club as well.

There’s such a fine line between the two,” said committee chairman Dave Heeke,

athletic director at Central Michigan. “UCLA did not lose a series until that last weekend. They were a powerful group throughout the entire year. Ultimately, it was very close, but they were deemed to be our No. 1 overall seed.”

The other six national seeds, in order, are: Louisville, Florida, Miami, Illinois, TCU and Missouri State.

The tournament opens Friday with 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals.

Best-of-three super regionals are next week, with those winners moving to the College World Series in Omaha.

National seeds that win their regionals play at home in super regionals. Since the

NCAA went to its current tournament format in 1999, only one No. 1 national seed — Miami in 1999 — has won the championship.

UCLA didn’t even make the tournament last year, following its 2013 national championship with an injury-riddled 25-30-1 season.

The Bruins have bounced back on the strength of a pitching staff that leads the nation with a 2.16 ERA and a much-improved offense that’s batting .285 and averaging better than six runs a game.

This is the third time since 2010 UCLA has earned a national seed. UCLA starts the tournament in Los Angeles

against Cal State Bakersfield.

Maryland and Mississippi also are in the Bruins’ regional.

Bruins coach John Savage was to speak to reporters later Monday.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri’s team has been the consensus No. 1 team in the major polls for a month. He said he had no problem with the selection committee’s decision on national seedings. The Tigers have one of the country’s most powerful offenses, batting .320 and scoring 7.2 runs a game. They lost to Florida in the semifinals of the SEC tournament.

Bears release McDonald after domestic violence arrest SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Chicago Bears released defensive end Ray McDonald following a domestic violence arrest in Northern California that police say stemmed from an assault on a woman who was holding a baby. McDonald was taken into custody at 7 a.m. Monday on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment, Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke said.

Police say the assault happened at his home in Santa Clara. He was found about three hours later at a home in San Jose and arrested.

Police did not disclose if the woman or the baby were injured.

The Chicago Bears released a statement Monday afternoon about the decision to let McDonald go.

“We believe in second chances, but when we signed Ray we were very clear what our expectations were if he was to remain a Bear,” General Manager Ryan Pace said in the statement.

Sharapova, Berdych advance at French Open

BY SAMUEL PETREQUIN AP Sports Writer

PARIS — Maria Sharapova was unfazed by the boos she heard when leaving the center court of Roland Garros on Monday without treating the crowd to a post-match interview. After all, she had good reasons to rush to the locker room.

Battling a cold that had her coughing at times during the match, the defending champion was not in the mood for small talk after beating Kaia

Kanepi 6-2, 6-4 in the first round, having been made to work harder than the scoreline suggested.

“Of course I totally understand, everyone usually does post-interviews and answers a few questions to the crowd,” said Sharapova. “It’s absolutely normal. I’m not making any excuses, but I’ve got to do what I have to do.”

The second-seeded Sharapova, who completed a career Grand Slam in Paris when she first won the title

in 2012, is trying to become the first woman to successfully defend her crown at the clay-court tournament since Justine Henin in 2007.

She also entered last year’s French Open nursing an illness.

“I got sick a week before the tournament, not right before,” she said. “So I guess it’s a little bit better timing. But it’s just the way it is. I’m getting over it, and hopefully it will pass by soon.”

Sporting an elegant striped

long-sleeved shirt, Sharapova made 21 unforced errors and dropped her serve once in each set as Kanepi responded to her forehand attacks with powerful groundstrokes. The gritty Estonian saved a match point in the final game, before a double-fault gave Sharapova the win.

“I had a tough opponent ahead of me,” Sharapova said.

Edwards’ win gives Gibbs Racing much to celebrate

BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

CONCORD, N.C. — Joe Gibbs has had many special nights in football and auto racing. Few were bigger than Sunday’s showing in the Coca-Cola 600.

The head of Joe Gibbs Racing had plenty to celebrate: Kyle Busch returned to points racing and finished 11th; Matt Kenseth won the pole and

ended fifth; and Denny Hamlin, the All-Star Race winner last week, fought for a title before finishing seventh.

The highlight, though, was Carl Edwards’ first victory for his new JGR team in NASCAR’s longest race.

“In so many ways,” said Gibbs, the three-time Super Bowl winner with Washington and three-time NASCAR championship team owner,

“it’s a big deal for us.”

Things for JGR may get even bigger this season.

Edwards becomes the third of four Gibbs’ racers with a victory, just about locking them into NASCAR’s 10race, year-end championship chase. Gibbs said the program can now concentrate on getting Busch into contention after he missed three months because of a serious accident

at Daytona three months ago.

Gibbs’ plans when he brought in Edwards as a fourth team are taking shape in a big, big way.

“We’ve taken a long time to catch up, I’m not saying we’ve caught up” to other power programs like Hendrick Motorsports and Stewart-Haas Racing, Gibbs said. “Over the Please see EDWARDS | 11

Montoya gives IndyCar the Indianapolis 500 it needed

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Extra!

Extra! Juan Pablo Montoya still had to pay $2 to read all about it.

On a gray and blustery Monday morning, the Colombian spent more than two hours on the Yard of Bricks taking the customary Indianapolis 500 winner photos.

His voice was shot, his mood soaring.

And when the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s deliveryman rode a bicycle of newspapers over to Montoya and asked how many he wanted, Montoya asked for two. But he had no cash in the pockets of his firesuit, and a scramble ensued to locate the money needed for Montoya’s two papers.

With a seven-figure payout looming for winning Indy, Montoya could afford the

purchase.

His second Indianapolis 500 victory generated the bold-print, feel-good headlines IndyCar needed after a month dominated by flying cars, safety concerns and a seriously injured driver.

But Montoya’s win served as a bright reminder that a classic comeback and a thrilling finish in front of a packed house can provide the series with the juice it needs to draw

attention to the foundering series.

“It was some race when you think about how we started the month, all the issues, the negative things that came out about the racecars,” winning car owner Roger Penske said.

“It was a safe race. The world saw the race that we wanted to see come out of Indianapolis, the “Greatest Spectacle in Please see INDYCAR | 11

“A lot was made of, ‘Are we going to be the No. 1 overall seed?’ I wasn’t the least bit concerned about it,” Mainieri said. “UCLA is very deserving of that honor.

We would have been deserving as well. It really doesn’t matter.”

Defending national champion Vanderbilt was among a group of teams considered for one of the last two national seeds. The Commodores, runners-up to Florida in the SEC tournament, start the NCAA tournament at home against Lipscomb.

The Atlantic Coast Conference and SEC tied for most qualifiers with seven apiece. The Pac-12 has six teams in the tournament, and the Big Ten set a conference record with five NCAA teams.

Teams making their

first appearances are conference tournament champions Radford (Big South) Florida A&M (MEAC), Houston Baptist (Southland) and Cal State Bakersfield (WAC).

Two teams got in with losing records, Northeast Conference champion Sacred Heart (2330-1) and Patriot League champ Lehigh (25-29).

Twenty-seven of the 64 teams were in the field last year.

Miami is in the tournament for a record 43rd consecutive year. Florida State qualified for a 38th year in a row.

According to the selection committee, the last four teams in the field were Maryland, South Florida, Oregon and Clemson.

The first four out were North Carolina, Missouri, Michigan State and Southern Mississippi.

morrow, and I should be better by then.”

Venus Williams will have all week off after exiting the tournament in the first round for the second time in three years.

Venus, who was beaten by younger sister Serena in the 2002 final, lost 7-6 (5), 6-1 to 40thranked Sloane Stephens, a 22-year-old up-andcoming American player.

In men’s play, Tomas Berdych began his quest for a first Grand Slam title with an easy 6-0, 7-5, 6-3 win over Japanese qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka and third-seeded Andy Murray eased past lucky loser Facundo Arguello 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.

In an era dominated

by Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Murray, winning a major might sometimes look beyond reach.

But the big-hitting Czech is not giving up hope.

“Everything has been

aimed for this tournament,” the fourth-seeded Berdych said. “I’m feeling well. I’m feeling physically, mentally strong, and that’s the best possible start that I can have.”

A runner-up at Wimbledon in 2010, Berdych also made it to the semifinals at the French Open that year. The Czech is playing at Roland Garros for the 12th consecutive time and has reasons to believe he can match his best result in the French capital.

After hiring Andy Murray’s former coach Dani Vallverdu, Berdych has been in consistent form this year, reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open and finishing runner-up in Doha, Rotterdam and, more recently, at the Monte Carlo Masters.

But he wants more.

“Being closer or not closer in the end doesn’t really matter,” Berdych said. “Just the winners are counting, and that’s how it is.”

last two races here, it’s a big deal for us.”

Edwards won his first Coca-Cola 600 with a gutsy call from crew chief Darian Grubb to pit earlier than most competitors and stay on the track while the field was diving in for full tanks and fresh tires. Edwards held off Greg Biffle over the final laps for his 24th career Sprint Cup victory.

For Edwards, the win was more special because of what it meant to those like Gibbs, who took a chance the talented driver was capable of bigger things.

“I have been stressed, you can ask the people close to me. I’m just so competitive and I’m not happy with how we’ve

performed and the results,” Edwards said. “I feel like this is a gift. As much as I’ve been frustrated, this is truly a gift.”

And one that’s been shared with the entire organization this season.

Kenseth had made a big splash with seven wins in 2013 when he, like Edwards, left Roush Fenway Racing to join Gibbs’ crew. Then the former NASCAR champion was shut out last season before rebounding with a win at Bristol last month.

Hamlin won 14 races between 2010-2012 with Gibbs, but just one each the next two seasons. He, too, has shown renewed power this spring with a victory at Martinsville in March and last week’s $1 million win in the AllStar event.

Racing.” Oh, did IndyCar need that thrilling finish.

Three cars went airborne last week, leading to a chaotic qualifying day and prompting lastminute rule changes as the series tried to keep the cars on the ground. A day after that, James Hinchcliffe sustained a lifethreatening leg injury in a crash unrelated to the flying cars. He’s expected to make a full recovery, but watched Sunday’s race from his hospital bed.

What Hinchcliffe and everyone else saw was a frantic battle between Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing, the titans of open-wheel racing who fielded a combined nine cars.

They were the class of the field in dueling Chevrolets and the two organizations combined to lead all but seven of the 200 laps. It became a threedriver battle as the laps ticked off, with Montoya, teammate Will Power and Ganassi driver Scott Dixon clearly the drivers to beat.

Cavs limping their way toward NBA Finals

BY TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James hurts everywhere, the King of Pain.

One win from taking the Cavaliers back to the NBA Finals, and one step closer to a title he covets more than any other, James leaned against a padded wall on Monday and hardly resembled basketball’s most undeniable force.

“I’m feeling all right,” he said, forcing a smile that showed he wasn’t being entirely truthful. “I’ve been better, but I’ve been worse. I think I’ve been worse.”

James moved slowly and not with his usual grace one day after his brilliant performance in Game 3 lifted Cleveland to a 114-111 win over the Atlanta Hawks in overtime, moving the Cavs within a

victory of their first Finals appearance since 2007.

James wore a sleeve on his right calf, which cramped so severely he asked to be taken out Sunday night before reconsidering. Instead, he pushed through the pain and delivered 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists — all after an 0-for10 shooting start — to help the Cavs take a 3-0 series lead. He’s battered, not beaten. James isn’t going to let anything stop him.

Not now. Not this close to his fifth straight Finals or a championship.

“When you want to win, you’ve got to sacrifice your body feeling good,” he said. “That’s just what it’s about.”

With a win on Tuesday night, the Cavs can clinch the Eastern Conference title and get some rest before a Finals match-

up presumably against Golden State, which leads Houston 3-0 heading into Monday’s Game 4. James has been down this path before, but never one so bumpy. Cleveland’s season has been strewn with obstacles: extreme expectations, chemistry issues, trades and injuries, including ones in the postseason to forward Kevin Love and All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who has missed the past two games with an injured left knee. James has never been on a team that’s had to surmount as much.

Before the season began, James predicted this — molding a new team into a title contender — would be the greatest challenge of his career.

“I felt it would be, and it is,” he said.

The Cavs need one more win over the ris-

ing Hawks, who showed resiliency in Game 3 by overcoming a 10-point deficit in the fourth when they appeared done. One play here, one there and Atlanta wouldn’t be in a 3-0 hole that no team in league history has been able to climb from.

Despite overwhelming odds, the Hawks won’t quit.

“No matter what happens, we’re still going to be confident,” forward Paul Millsap said. “We believe in our team. We believe in the guys that we have. We feel like we can do something special, whether this year, next year, whatever.

We’re going to stick to this. It’s not over ‘til it’s over.”

For James, the only ending he can envision is winning his third title and ending Cleveland’s 51-year championship drought.

A Z TO

The Vikings were a group of people from Scandinavia (the area which is now Norway, Denmark, and Sweden) who sailed the seas of Europe from 700 to 1000 AD. The Vikings were also known as Norsemen, or Northmen, because of where they came from. At home they were farmers, but abroad they were fierce warriors at sea; the term Viking meant pirate. Vikings sailed in longships. These ships were long, double-ended vessels, powered by many oars. Manpower was always abundant among the Viking raiders, which made robbing and pillaging an easy task. They stole many riches as they conquered lands in Europe. Most Vikings were at sea as a result of overcrowding in their homelands. Although the Vikings all eventually converted to Christianity, they originally believed in what is now referred to as Norse mythology, centered on the Viking heaven, Valhalla. Vikings believed that this was the resting place of all Scandinavian warriors, especially those who died in battle. The leader of Valhalla was the god, Odin. Upon death, the Viking joined Odin’s army. Another popular character from Norse mythology, which has recently been depicted in popular movies, was the Norse god, Thor. Thor was said to have a hammer that only he could carry. History often depicts the Vikings’ attire to include a helmet adorned with horns. There is no real evidence to support this theory.
