Drug unit finds ‘high grade’ pot, makes 1 arrest BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
A Corinth man faces felony drug charges for the sale of “high grade” marijuana, according to the Alcorn Narcotics Unit. John William Franks, 19, was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. After receiving complaints and conducting a month-long investigation, the Alcorn Narcotics Unit performed a search at Franks’ residence on Burns Road, according to Darrell Hopkins of the Alcorn Narcotics Unit. The search was executed by narcotics officers and Deputies Mike Billingsley and Lucas Wooten — and yielded over a pound of high-grade marijuana.
The search reportedly turned up several individually wrapped bags of marijuana, scales, plastic bags, marijuana grinders, pipes and packaging sealers. Officers arrested and charged Franks. He is in the Alcorn County Jail awaiting bond. “The high-grade marijuana has a lot more street value than most marijuana found in this area,” said Hopkins. “It is not grown locally and is usually transported from bigger cities like Memphis, Atlanta, Dallas and even from Mexico.” Anyone with information about people selling the drug — which carries several street names such as kush, 36 Mafia, OG, etc. — is asked to contact the Alcorn Narcotics Unit.

Ceremony disposes of flags BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com
While American flags were going up at Corinth National Cemetery on Saturday for the Memorial Day weekend, the nation's symbol of freedom was going down in flames at the American Legion Perry Johns Post #6. No fret. It wasn't any antiAmerican protest. The Sons of American Legion Perry Johns Post #6 Squadron hosted its annual “Disposal of Unserviceable Flags” Ceremony. “People bring the flags by because they know we provide this service,” said Sons
of American Legion Adjutant John Peebles, pointing to a pile of torn, tattered and faded flags. “Businesses, industries, people — they drop them off and we honor them every Memorial Day weekend.” Just a couple of days ago, a box full of tattered flags was placed on the American Legion doorstep, he said. The service had prepared remarks from the squadron, including Davey Null, first vice commander. Veterans, American Legion members, Boy Scout leaders, and Cub Scouts and their leaders and family all witnessed about a dozen flags being destroyed.
With hats off and hands over the heart, the flags were covered in gasoline, then burned into black char. James Embrey, chaplain of the squadron, performed on his 1909 bugle as all watched the disposal ceremony in silence. There are about 55 squadron members from the Perry Johns Post. The American Legion son's group is open to any son, grandson or great-grandson of a deceased veteran or any American Legion member, said Peebles. “We welcome new members,” said the adjutant. “This ceremony is just one example of the community services we provide.”
Shiloh National Military Park’s Memorial Day weekend events continue today and Monday.

Summer camps provide creative experiences for children BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
School is out, and several organizations are looking to take idle time off the hands of children with summer camp. Crossroads Museum, Corinth Theatre-Arts and the Corinth Artist Guild Gallery are signing up children now. Although Monday is a holiday, the Crossroads Museum is kicking off its camp on Memorial Day, offering children an opportunity to have fun and learn about history at the historic depot. Camp runs Monday through Thursday from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. for ages 5 to 10. Camp for ages 11 to 14 is June 4 to June 8. “This year we planned each day with an educational but fun activity in the morning followed by something strictly fun in the afternoon,” said Museum Director Brandy Steen. “The educational activities are all centered around the Civil War. The children will learn some of the ways of living 150 years ago.” In addition to learning about Douglas the camel, hardtack and digging for relics, children will also have plenty of time to
explore the museum. The cost is $10 per day. For sign-up information, contact Steen at 287-3120 or director@crossroadsmuseum.com. The museum is open today and Sunday. Signup can be completed before each session. The art gallery’s camp will incorporate fundamental concepts in mixing and using color into drawing and painting lessons with veteran teachers Teresa Smillie and Vicki Avery. “These two former school teachers are very experienced in dealing with energetic young

people and guiding them,” said Guild President Sonny Boatman. “It’s always a wonderful revelation when you see the work produced at the camp by both the experienced students and the new ones.” The young artists’ works also get some exposure through an exhibition at the gallery. Notecards are produced, and they can also sell matted prints in the gallery. Two separate camps are scheduled — June 18-21 and June 25-28. Hours are 10 a.m. to noon for those who have completed first grade up to age
9 and 2 to 4 p.m. for ages 10 to 13. The cost is $50 per child per session. Registration is requested by June 6. Contact the gallery at 665-0520. Theatre camp gives children a chance to learn about the many aspects of live theatre. It is set for June 11-15 with ages 6 to 10 from 9 a.m. to noon and ages 11 to 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $75 for junior camp and $150 for senior camp. Registration deadline is June 1. Contact the playhouse at 287-2995.
On this day in history 150 years ago There is heavy fighting north of Corinth, near the modern junction of Hwy 2 and Polk St., as Federals in Gen. George Thomas’s Army of the Tennessee attack Gen. Leonidas Polk’s Corps. The new Union position is now within 1,300 yards of the city’s fortifications.

May is National High Blood Pressure Month
BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
The importance of numbers is vital to success in gymnastics. The numbers are even more important when you are battling breast cancer. Teri Jenkins, 53, has been a fixture in teaching gymnastics in the Crossroads area for the past 35 years. She now faces her toughest competition outside the gym. Jenkins got sick this past New Year’s Eve with stomach cramps and did not learn she had cancer until March. She has been taking chemo since the diagnosis in the spring. Jenkins began teaching gymnastics in 1978 at the Corinth Y. She took the test to become a judge and traveled all over the
south to judge gymnastic meets. She has been a judge at SEC and NCAA gymnastic tournaments. She worked for 10 years at the Y before moving to teach at Gymstars in Memphis and then opened AcroSports in 1992 in Corinth. Her gym is now Shining Star Gymnastics. Jenkins became so well-known as a gymnastics instructor that she opened satellite programs in Selmer, Savannah, Pickwick, Baldwyn, Iuka, Ripley and Booneville. Don’t let anyone make you think Miss Teri has gone soft while taking treatments for her cancer. “I’ve not missed a day in the gym,” said a proud Jenkins. “There are days when I feel helpless and just do not want to get out of bed, but I make
myself get off the couch. I’m not just going to lay there and die.” A couple of church groups have given her gifts to carry with her when she gets her chemo treatments. Ladies from her home church, Kossuth Methodist, gave her a knitted pink scarf and a church in Jackson (Ms.) sent her a prayer blanket. “I always bring the scarf and blanket with me when I have to take chemo,” said Jenkins. “They remind me I always will have someone praying for me.” She now lives on a houseboat at Grand Harbor that she jokingly calls her “house trailer on the water.” It is clear the harddriving teacher has learned some of her own
lessons over the years about not quitting and being a tough competitor at all times. “I’m going to keep fighting it and I am not going to quit,” said a determined Jenkins. “I sometimes forget I am sick and just keep going with my daily routine.” While Jenkins has coached winners and judged winners in the past, there is no doubt Miss Teri plans on winning the battle against cancer. (There will be a luau party to benefit Teri Jenkins on Saturday, June 16 at 6 p.m. at Aqua Yacht Marina. RSVP Micki Greer 731926-1776 or mickiflips@ yahoo.com. Cost for the adults only party is $25 for a single and $45 for a couple.)
Hill can participate in the national park ceremonies scheduled this Memorial Day when we pause to remember the dedicated and valiant military service American citizens have performed for their country,” said Allen. Upon graduation from the University of Kansas, Hill entered the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant, attending flight school and earning qualification to fly attack helicopters. During his military career, he flew an AAH-1 Cobra Helicopter in Vietnam. After his last active assignment in Europe, Hill was assigned to the United States Army Reserve Personnel Center in St. Louis. Hill served as the Director of Readiness and was involved in the formulation and implementation of mobilization activities for Operation Desert Shield. He served in the Pentagon for over 11 years and later worked intelligence assignments in the Philippines before retiring from service in 1990 to his current residence in Adamsville, Tenn. A program titled “Spotlight on America’s Veterans” is scheduled at the Visitor Center immediately following the conclusion of the memorial service. “The public will be able to visit with a local Viet-
nam veteran to learn about his war experiences and the hardships he and thousands like him endured during this long overseas conflict,” Allen said. In addition, there will be a memorial service held at the location of the largest of the Confederate mass burial sites to recognize the military service of the Confederate soldiers in the Battle of Shiloh. This ceremony will begin adjacent to tour stop #13, 30 minutes after the conclusion of the memorial service at the National Cemetery. The National Park Service will also participate in “The National Moment of Remembrance.” All Americans have been asked by President
Obama to pause from their daily activities at 3 p.m. Monday to honor those who have fallen in combat for America. In addition to the weekend activities, park rangers will present interpretive programs on Monday afternoon. These programs will include battlefield hikes, as well as guided tours of the national cemetery. Those planning to attend the Memorial Day services are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to provide comfortable seating. For further information concerning the schedule of events contact the park at 731689-5696 or visit the park’s website at www. nps.gov/shil

said Acting Park Superintendent Stacy Allen. “Also, veterans from our more recent and current wars in the Middle East will participate to reflect upon their unique modern military experiences. Besides remember those who have fallen, this day of remembrance permits every citizen the opportunity to show our appreciation for present day soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who gallantly serve in the defense of our nation.”
Monday On Memorial Day the park will again present its annual commemoration in the Shiloh National Cemetery. The program will begin with music from the Savannah Dixieland Band at 10:30 a.m. followed by the memorial service at 11 a.m. The one-hour long service will include a presentation of service branch colors, a wreath laying for an interred veteran, the firing of a military salute and the playing of taps. Col. Roger Hill, retired aviator of the U.S. Army, will present the principal address at this year’s Memorial Day observance. The annual service is one of the oldest in West Tennessee. “We are pleased Col.

2012 Legislative Session wrap-up BY NICK BAIN The 2012 Regular Session of the Mississippi Legislature brought many historic changes to the Magnolia State. Following continues my discussion from last week’s column on some of the new laws passed during the 2012 Legislative Session.
Voter ID After Amendment 27 passed -- by 62 percent of Mississippi’s electorate -- in the November 2011 general election requiring photo voter identification at the polls, it was apparent Mississippi citizens wanted a Voter ID Law. I, along with other legislators, supported the passage of House Bill (HB) 921, or the Voter ID Law. HB921 sparked passion in both Republicans and Democrats. Under the new law, persons appearing to vote must present valid identification (ID) in any of the following forms: Mississippi Drivers’ License, a photo ID card issued by an agency of the state; US Passport; an employee ID card bearing a photo; an accredited college, university or community college student ID bearing a photo; Mississippi license to carry a concealed weapon; travel ID card bearing a photo; military ID card; or Mississippi Voter ID card with a photo. Should any person wishing to vote not possess one of the required forms of ID, they nevertheless may apply to receive a free Voter ID card, provided free to them by the state. To apply for such a Voter ID card, a person will be required to show their Social Security card, Medicare card, Medicaid card or a verification of residence in the county of their residence. Voters may vote by affidavit if they present a valid ID within five days of voting. As Mississippi is a “covered jurisdiction” under the Federal Voting Rights Act, the Voter ID provisions will not become law unless ultimately approved by the U.S. Justice Department or by the federal courts. I was also pleased to have been called by governor and asked to be his guest when he signed this bill into law.
Budget After hard work by the chairman and committee members of both the House and the Senate Appropriations Committees, the new budget for FY ’13, which takes effect July 1, 2012, will reflect a variety of changes. The Legislature has increased state spending by a total of only less than one half of 1 percent. Significantly, the Legislature also has set aside nearly $200 million to use as reserves in next year’s budget, thereby providing some flexibility and the ability to avoid potentially crippling cuts next year. Some adjustments to the FY ’13 budget include: ■ Medicaid: will receive an additional $58.7 million in appropriations for FY ‘13. This is a 7.6 percent increase over FY ‘12. ■ K-12 Education: will receive nearly $30 million in additional appropriations funds. This represents a 1.3 percent overall increase over FY ’12. ■ Mississippi Adequate Education Program (MAEP): will receive an additional $19 million - a nearly one percent increase over FY ’12. ■ Community Colleges: will receive nearly $4.2 million extra in appropriations for FY ’13. This is a 1.8 percent increase over FY ’12. (More discussion of new bills passed into law during the 2012 Legislative Session will continue in next Sunday’s column. Nick Bain is state representative for District 2, representing Alcorn County. He can be contacted at: emailnbain@house.ms.gov or 662-287-1620)
Prayer for today Dear Heavenly Father, as we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy every day, we ask that you please hold our servicemen and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your sheltering grace and your presence as they stand in the gap for our protection. Amen.

Big lies in welfare state politics The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy them, and only in the short run. The current outbreaks of riots in Europe show what happens when the truth catches up with both the politicians and the people in the long run. Among the biggest lies of the welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic is the notion that the government can supply the people with things they want but cannot afford. Since the government gets its resources from the people, if the people as a whole cannot afford something, neither can the government. There is, of course, the perennial fallacy that the government can simply raise taxes on “the rich” and use that additional revenue to pay for things that most people cannot afford. What is amazing is the implicit assumption that “the rich” are all such complete fools that they will do nothing to prevent their money from being taxed away. History shows otherwise. After the Constitution of the United States was amended to permit a federal income tax, in 1916, the number of people reporting taxable incomes of
$300,000 a year or more fell from well over a thousand to fewer than three Thomas hundred by Sowell 1921. Were the Columnist rich all getting poorer? Not at all. They were investing huge sums of money in tax-exempt securities. The amount of money invested in tax-exempt securities was larger than the federal budget, and nearly half as large as the national debt. This was not unique to the United States or to that era. After the British government raised their income tax on the top income earners in 2010, they discovered that they collected less tax revenue than before. Other countries have had similar experiences. Apparently the rich are not all fools, after all. In today’s globalized world economy, the rich can simply invest their money in countries where tax rates are lower. So, if you cannot rely on “the rich” to pick up the slack, what can you rely on? Lies. Nothing is easier for a politician than promising government benefits that cannot be delivered. Pensions such as Social Se-
curity are perfect for this role. The promises that are made are for money to be paid many years from now -- and somebody else will be in power then, left with the job of figuring out what to say and do when the money runs out and the riots start. There are all sorts of ways of postponing the day of reckoning. The government can refuse to pay what it costs to get things done. Cutting what doctors are paid for treating Medicare patients is one obvious example. That of course leads some doctors to refuse to take on new Medicare patients. But this process takes time to really make its full impact felt --and elections are held in the short run. This is another growing problem that can be left for someone else to try to cope with in future years. Increasing amounts of paperwork for doctors in welfare states with government-run medical care, and reduced payments to those doctors, in order to stave off the day of bankruptcy, mean that the medical profession is likely to attract fewer of the brightest young people who have other occupations available to them -- paying more money and having fewer hassles. But this too is a long-run problem -- and elections are still held in the short run.
Eventually, all these longrun problems can catch up with the wonderful-sounding lies that are the lifeblood of welfare state politics. But there can be a lot of elections between now and eventually -- and those who are good at political lies can win a lot of those elections. As the day of reckoning approaches, there are a number of ways of seeming to overcome the crisis. If the government is running out of money, it can print more money. That does not make the country any richer, but it quietly transfers part of the value of existing money from people’s savings and income to the government, whose newly printed money is worth just as much as the money that people worked for and saved. Printing more money means inflation -- and inflation is a quiet lie, by which a government can keep its promises on paper, but with money worth much less than when the promises were made. Is it so surprising voters with unrealistic hopes elect politicians who lie about being able to fulfill those hopes? (Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305. His website is www. tsowell.com.)
The media’s religion deficit beyond dispute Evidence of big media’s bias against religion that doesn’t advance the secular and liberal agenda of the Democratic Party is beyond dispute. Any faith attached to a conservative agenda is to be ridiculed, stereotyped and misrepresented. Islam is a notable exception. The media appear to bend over backward not to offend Muslims. The Washington Post on Monday, May 21, reporting from Carrollton, Ark., uncovered an event that occurred nearly 155 years ago and then sought to link it to the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney: “On Sept. 11, 1857, a wagon train from this part of Arkansas met with a gruesome fate in Utah, where most of the travelers were slaughtered by a Mormon militia in an episode known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.” The Romney connection? “There aren’t many places in America more likely to be suspicious of Mormonism -- and potentially problematic for Mitt Romney, who is seeking to become the country’s first Mormon president.”

As Carrollton, Ark., goes, so goes the nation? Would the Post quesCal tion the Thomas legitimacy and faith of Columnist a Muslim candidate for Congress, or any office, because of 9-11? Do you even have to ask? Should the Spanish Inquisition reflect on a Catholic candidate? Since Jimmy Carter announced during the 1976 presidential campaign that he was a born-again Christian, the media have been fascinated by religion, but not so much that they would labor to understand it. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a devout Mormon, but Reid gets a media pass on his faith because he toes the line on the secular left’s agenda, from abortion to same-sex marriage, which Reid endorsed last week. That his church teaches the opposite of the way he votes doesn’t appear to concern him. Senator Orrin Hatch, also a Mormon,
is running for re-election in Utah. Hatch is less scary to the media because he made friends with the late Senator Ted Kennedy with whom he occasionally cooperated on legislation. Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, a devout Catholic, opposes the death penalty, as does the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church also opposes the “death penalty” for the unborn, but Cuomo challenged the Church’s position on abortion in his speech at Notre Dame in 1984 titled “Religious Belief and Public Morality: A Catholic Governor’s Perspective.” Why did no reporter press Cuomo on his “cafeteria theology”? Answer: Because his positions on the death penalty and abortion reflect the views of most in big media. The questions reporters should be asking Mitt Romney are not about his style of worship or about Mormon theology, but rather which of his church’s beliefs he thinks are connected to earthly policies and which ones, if any, he will attempt to implement should he be-

On her Washington Post blog, Jennifer Rubin says the media has a “Mormon Obsession”: “In sum, the left’s obsession with Romney’s faith tells us more about their ignorance of faithful people of all religions than anything else. ... Whether born of ignorance (i.e. that other faiths don’t share these essential values) or rank bias or intention to paint Romney as weird, the definition of Romney as nothing more than a Mormon stick figure is pernicious in our political culture and begs the question: Why is the media entirely uninterested in Obama’s religious influences, and indeed has dubbed such discussion racist?” Journalists and media organizations should be required to take advanced religion courses so that they can better understand faith, explain it accurately and ask the right questions of candidates who believe in an Authority higher than the state.

Coastal businesses welcome tourists JACKSON — Hopes are high that the summer will bring visitors and their money to Mississippi’s coastal attractions as Memorial Day weekend kicks off the period of increased tourism. While casinos bring visitors year-round, other Gulf Coast businesses are built around the lure of beaches and water. Louis Skrmetta, whose family owns Ship Island Excursions, predicted that this year could bring 10 percent more customers to his business if the weather cooperates. The company ferries beachgoers between Gulfport and West Ship Island, part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. His boats are allowed to carry as many as 1,200 visitors a day to the island. Skrmetta said Friday that he expected the boats to be full Sunday and nearly full Saturday. The holiday is traditionally a good indicator of how the rest of the season will go, and Skrmetta said he hopes to top the 44,000
passengers he carried in 2011. “We feel like it’s going to be a really good summer,� he said. The summer of 2010 was mostly wiped out by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and tourism has never returned to preHurricane Katrina levels, partly because many hotel rooms were destroyed and never replaced. Other businesses have been slow to rebuild after the 2005 storm, such as the iconic Sharkheads souvenir store in Biloxi. The owners are hoping to finally reopen in June.
City of Oxford eyes $47 million in projects OXFORD — The city of Oxford has more than $47 million in capital projects coming up and figuring out how to fund those projects can take some thought and planning. The Oxford Eagle reports that city planners have presented aldermen with a list of all current and upcoming capital projects. City Planner Bart Robinson said the list changes as projects move up J7NĂ‚<H;;Ăƒ?DL;IJ?D= tqxĂƒ;:K97J?EDĂƒI7L?D=IĂƒFB7D <?N;:Ăƒ?D9EC; I H;J?H;C;DJĂƒFB7DD?D=

and down in priority and funding options change. “It is just hard to believe a town the size of Oxford has so much planned, or at least so much being discussed,� he said. The list of projects does not include yearly maintenance projects such as road paving, sidewalk repair and landscaping. General city projects include a new bus maintenance facility which is in the design phase. It comes with a $1.5 million price tag. The city has received several grants for most of the
cost; however, it will have to come up with $214,375. The project is expected to begin this summer and be completed in the summer of 2013. A new central fire station will cost $2.5 million and would be located at the site of an old city dump. Costs to restore that site are estimated at $500,000. The two projects will be funded out of the Community Health Foundation Fund — about $3 million the city received as part of the sale of Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi to
Baptist Memorial Health Care Corp. last year. The fund, a total of about $6 million, was closed and split between the city and Lafayette County. Â

Roving cows drank backyard brews Associated Press
BOXFORD, Mass. — Police say a roving group of cows crashed a small gathering in a Massachusetts town and bullied the guests for their beer. Boxford police Lt. James Riter says he was respond-
ing to a call for loose cows and spotted them in a front yard. Riter says the herd hightailed it for the backyard and then he heard screaming. He says when he ran back there he saw the cows had chased off some young
adults and were drinking their beers. Riter says the cows had knocked the beer cans over on a table and were lapping up what spilled. He says they even started rooting around the recycled cans for some extra drops.

Obama defensive on spending, debt WASHINGTON — Government spending and debt are emerging as a campaign tug-of-war, with Republican Mitt Romney blaming President Barack Obama for a “prairie fire of debt” and Obama calling the charge a “cowpie of distortion.” Both candidates are reaching for independent voters anxious about who’s going to get stuck with the bill. Spending and debt now rank as high on the worry scale as lack of jobs. And it has direct appeal to independents who could decide the election in about a halfdozen states being heavily contested by both campaigns. In turning attention to debt, Republicans are tapping a winning issue they used in congressional races two years ago. Republican pollster Wes Anderson said that just before the 2010 elections, congressional campaigns shifted “from jobs and economy to government taking us over the cliff.” The emphasis proved to be successful at the ballot box as Republicans grabbed control of the House, captured Senate seats and won in state races. These days, the economy remains the preeminent issue in voters’ minds, but Anderson says middle-of-the-road votes are the targets of the big government message. “The middle is angry about where we are at and they really see two villains” — big business and big government. Independent voters, he said, “hold both of those central tenets to be true.” Obama has taken a populist tone on reforming Wall Street and taxing corporations and the wealthy. But his defensive crouch on debt and spending reflect a hard reality: Polls consistently show voters, including sought-after independents, placing more trust in Romney to handle the debt. A Gallup/USA Today
poll this month found that overall, 82 percent of Americans called the “federal budget deficit and debt” extremely or very important, a level of interest comparable to unemployment. The same poll found Romney with a broad advantage on handling the budget deficit and debt, with 54 percent saying he would do a better job handling it compared with 39 percent for Obama. A Washington Post/ ABC News poll in April found 51 percent sided with Romney on handling the federal budget deficit, compared with 38 percent for Obama. Among independents, 60 percent preferred Romney and 29 percent favored Obama.
Scientist: Evolution debate soon history NEW YORK — Richard Leakey predicts skepticism over evolution will soon be history. Not that the avowed atheist has any doubts himself. Sometime in the next 15 to 30 years, the Kenyan-born paleoanthropologist expects scientific discoveries will have accelerated to the point that “even the skeptics can accept it.” “If you get to the stage where you can persuade people on the evidence, that it’s solid, that we are all African, that color is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive,” Leakey says, “then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges.” Leakey, a professor at Stony Brook University on Long Island, recently spent several weeks in New York promoting the Turkana Basin Institute in Kenya. The institute, where Leakey spends most of his time, welcomes researchers and scientists from around the world dedicated to unearthing the origins of mankind in an area rich with fossils. His friend, Paul Simon, performed at a May 2 fundraiser for the institute in Manhattan that collected more than $2
million. A National Geographic documentary on his work at Turkana aired this month on public television. Now 67, Leakey is the son of the late Louis and Mary Leakey and conducts research with his wife, Meave, and daughter, Louise. The family claims to have unearthed “much of the existing fossil evidence for human evolution.” On the eve of his return to Africa earlier this week, Leakey spoke to The Associated Press in New York City about the past and the future.
Pool access for disabled sdebated WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is sidestepping an electionyear confrontation with the hotel industry and other pool owners to give them more time to comply with access rules for the disabled. The rules have been in the works since the early 1990s, but the Justice Department created an uproar among hotels, waterparks, health clubs and the like earlier this year when it said it will require many such facilities to install fixed lifts to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. After initially setting a March 15 deadline — and telling the industry it wouldn’t budge — the department has granted two extensions. After first saying it might grant a reprieve until September, Justice announced last week that pool owners won’t have to comply with the new requirements until early next year, a move that gets the controversy safely past the election. At issue is whether hotels and other facilities will have to install fixed lifts to assist disabled people getting in and out of their pools, a move that can require hiring a contractor and tearing up the pool deck at a cost of as much as $6,000. Many pool owners were hoping to comply with the rules by purchasing less costly portable lifts that could be wheeled out to poolside as needed.

I wanted to touch on a few issues this year in garden tomatoes. The first issue is early blight, a fungal disease w h i c h shows up each gardening season as a blight or spots on the leaves Patrick on the Poindexter lower part of plants. Ag Lines The disease gradually moves upward throughout the plant, and by midsummer, early blight has caused a “firing-up� of foliage over most of the tomato plant. Early blight tends to get off to an early start when wet weather is experienced soon after transplants are set. These type conditions are ideal for infection of young tomato plants by the early blight fungus. With the recent rains, we are seeing incidences of early blight on tomatoes that have already been planted. Early blight symptoms first appear on lower, older leaves as circular, dark brown to black spots that often form concentric rings giving a target-board effect. As the disease progresses, leaves turn yellow, wither
and drop from plants. In severe cases, most of the foliage is lost by mid-season and diseased plants tend to be leafless over the bottom one-half. Staking and mulching are important in an early blight control program, since staking keeps foliage and fruit from contacting the soil surface, and mulching cuts down on “soil splash� onto lower parts of the plant. Soil particles often contain the early blight fungus spores, and mulching is a good way of keeping the fungus from invading plants. Plastic, or organic mulches (pine straw or even newspapers) are equally effective. If you do use a mulch closely monitor the amount of watering that is done. It is possible to over water the tomatoes and actually create a bacterial problem by having too much water in and around the tomatoes. The fungus which carries early blight is carried over on crop debris and on seed. Secondary spread of the fungus is chiefly by wind-blown spores and to a lesser extent by chewing insects or by the homeowner touching the infected plant and then touching a healthy plant. Early blight control is

lowed by hot dry weather, this causes the calcium in the soil to become unavailable to the plant. This will cause the dark rotten areas on the tomatoes. The other condition that causes the blossom end rot disease is an actual calcium deficiency in the soil. Soil testing is one way to make sure you have enough calcium. You can add calcium to the soil in the form of lime applied in the fall which is basically calcium carbonate, you can sidedress your tomatoes with calcium nitrate fertilizer or you can foliar feed your plants calcium by using a liquid product that is basically liquid calcium. Be sure to monitor you plants for early signs of blossom end rot, and by soil testing and adding lime you should be able to prevent this problem. (For more information concerning tomato problems, call Alcorn County Director Patrick Poindexter at the Extension Service at 662-286-7755 or look up the website: www. msucares.com.)

based on crop rotation, removal and destruction of crop debris and timely application of fungicides. There are several fungicides available for spraying for this type of fungal infection. These include chlorothalonil and maneb, which are available under different trade names. Fungicide application should begin within one week after transplanting and continued at sevenday intervals throughout the growing season. Applications should be made after a rain if possible. Be sure to check withdrawal times on the labels of the fungicides and insecticides so you can stop spraying in time to harvest the tomatoes. As always, follow the label directions exactly. The second problem is blossom end rot, a disease characterized by the rotting of the bottom of the tomato while the tomato is still green. This condition is caused by two things. One is the weather.

Heath Wood began the West’s hitting barrage with a lead-off single in the Northeast Mississippi Coaches Association for Better Baseball’s Class 3A/4A/5A/6A All-Star Game. Unfortunately for the Kossuth graduate, his day would end two outs later when he reportedly dislocated the pinkie on his left hand during a steal attempt of second. The first inning was the only time the East pitching staff would face the minimum as the West rolled to a 13-0 shutout in Game Two. The West ruled the day after claiming a
14-6 win in the 1A/2A opener. In the finale, the West banged out 21 hits — including four doubles — and scored in seven of their nine at-bats. The winners scored two runs in each of the final six frames to break open a 1-0 contest. Alcorn County had six representatives in the 22nd annual affair — all in the final contest. Wood was joined by Aggie teammate John Mitchell on the winning squad. Corinth’s Jalen Kirk and Lew Johnson played alongside Alcorn Central’s Trae Bain and Jeremy Powers, a late addition to the game, on the East squad. Johnson, who drew the
starting nod at second, was named the recipient of the Ralph Wade Bruce award, which goes to the player who best demonstrates hustle, determination and baseball attitude. Tupelo’s Ben Aldridge set the stage for the shutout — and earned team MVP honors — with three scoreless innings in a starting role. He faced just 11 batters and struck out four while allowing just two hits. Lafayette County’s Luke Stanley worked around singles in the fourth and fifth in a pair of scoreless innings. At the plate he added a pair of hits, including a two-run
single in the eighth. The East squad as a hole managed just five hits — all singles — and recorded just on knock over the final three innings. New Albany’s Easton Hall and Tupelo’s Brayden Owen paced the West with three hits each. Owen had a tworun single in the seventh and Hall added a two-RBI knock in the ninth. The East loaded the bases with one out in the sixth following three straight free passes by Ripley’s Ryan Moore. Pontotoc’s Zach Gory came on and got out of the Please see WEST | 9A

Chipper placed on disabled list Associated Press
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves placed Chipper Jones on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a bruised left and recalled catcher J.C. Boscan from Triple-A Gwinnett. Jones, who plans to retire after the season, is hitting .307 with five homers and 24 RBIs. The DL move was retroactive to Thursday. The loss of Jones could be a key blow to the Braves’ hopes of remaining close in the NL East. The Braves are 19-5 when Jones starts and 7-16 in games he doesn’t, including five straight losses before Saturday’s game. “If he misses six or seven in a row, we’re in trouble,” manager Fredi Gonzalez said before learning Jones went on the disabled list. Boscan, ,was hitting .192 with two homers at Gwinnett, started Saturday against the Washington Nationals. Atlanta’s losing streak reached six games with an 8-4 defeat. The 40-year-old Jones missed seven straight starts before landing on the disabled list. He had a ground ball hit his leg on May 18 in Tampa Bay. His only appearance in a game since was a walk as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday night. Jones had the hematoma drained by Dr. Marvin Royster on Saturday morning. Juan Francisco started at third base against Washington’s Stephen Strasburg after moving left fielder Martin Prado to third on Friday night. Gonzalez said he will decide if Francisco or Prado will be the primary third baseman the next two weeks. If Prado plays third, there would be an opening for Matt Diaz and Eric Hinske to play left field. “I’m not going to go back and forth,” Gonzalez said of his options at third base, adding “Francisco can make that decision” with a good game. The Braves have a pressing need at catcher after backup David Ross left Friday night’s game with a right groin strain. Brian McCann took over for Ross in the second inning after missing the previous three games with an illness. Gonzalez said McCann “really struggled” to make it through the final innings of Friday night’s game. Gonzalez said he even asked home plate umpire Doug Eddings to keep an eye on McCann and alert the Braves’ dugout “if he looks faint.” Outfielder Matt Diaz is the team’s emergency catcher.

Mississippi State closer Jonathan Holder reacts at the end of a 2-1 win over Kentucky during the Southeastern Conference tournament Saturday in Hoover, Ala.
Mississippi moves into SEC championship Associated Press
HOOVER, Ala. — Jonathan Holder picked up his third save of the Southeastern Conference tournament with a scoreless ninth inning and Mississippi State advanced to the championship game with a 2-1 win over Kentucky Saturday. Holder worked around a throwing error to leave the potential tying run on third, escaping with two grounders and an infield popup. He also got the win in Friday night’s game against LSU. Mississippi State (38-22) plays Vanderbilt (33-35),
which beat Florida 8-6 in the other semifinal contest, in today’s title game. The Bulldogs, who also swept the Wildcats on the regular season’s final weekend, are seeking their seventh SEC tournament title and first since 2005. Reliever Nick Routt (3-5) snuffed out a potential threat in the fifth, entering when Kentucky (43-16) had two men on base. Routt got A.J. Reed to strike out looking to escape and pitched three more scoreless innings after that. Bulldogs coach John Cohen called that strikeout “the de-
fining moment of the game.” “Nick Routt was a star today,” Cohen said. “He was waiting for his opportunity and he got it and took full advantage of it. And Jonathan Holder shut it down in the ninth inning and every time he’s gotten it he’s done an unbelievable job for us.” Holder had to overcome a defensive miscue to open the inning. Lucas Witt reached on a throwing error by third baseman Sam Frost — who moved from second for the final inning — and moved to second and third on grounders.
Holder then got Austin Cousino to pop up to short stop to end the game and extend his school-record streak of scoreless innings to 27-1/3. “He’s tough to hit,” said teammate Adam Frazier, who had two hits. “When he comes in, we’re pretty comfortable. The nickname going around is ‘The Truth.’ As long as he keeps doing that, we’ll keep that nickname.” The Bulldogs took a 2-1 lead in the first three innings and nursed it the rest of the way.

James, Heat start tuning for East finals Associated Press
MIAMI — LeBron James shook a few hands, slapped a few fives, gave a few hugs. That was the extent of his celebrating after the Miami Heat ousted the Indiana Pacers. A return to the Eastern Conference finals — no small achievement by any measure — is nice, though it’s far from the oft-stated goal for the reigning NBA MVP and
the Heat. They’ll host Game 1 of the East title series on Monday night against either Philadelphia or Boston, both of those teams having been ousted from last year’s playoffs by Miami in five games. “You can’t just show up, no matter who you’re playing against,” James said Saturday, when the Heat resumed practice after taking one day off to rest up and recover from a grind against
Indiana. “We have to prepare the same way we’ve done the first two rounds — and even prepare ourselves even more. As the rounds go, the competition grows, so we look forward to the challenge.” The way James sees it, there’s not a lot of reason for celebration yet. After all, he’s not wearing the letters VIII across his upper teeth. Over the past couple seasons, James has worn mouth-
guards with fangs, others with the Heat logo, and some with no adornments whatsoever. For these playoffs, he’s broken out something new: A mouthguard embossed “XVI.” It doesn’t take much to decipher what those Roman numerals are supposed to signify. It’s 16, the number of wins that the Heat would Please see HEAT | 9A

with a single, moved to second on Mitch Slauter’s sacrifice bunt and scored on a single up the middle by Wes Rea. The Bulldogs used a similar method in the third, producing a run with Frazier’s leadoff single, Brent Brownlee’s sacrifice and Trey Porter’s RBI single up the middle. Kentucky tied it in the bottom half with J.T. Riddle’s solo home run to right, his fifth of the season. Riddle had three of the Wildcats’ nine hits. Kentucky starter Corey Littrell (8-2) allowed two runs in six innings. “It was a great game for the fans,� Kentucky coach Gary Henderson said. “Extremely disappointed that we’re not playing (Sunday). I’m really proud of our guys. They were tough. Clearly it was a rough day for us offensively, but it was just that type of game.� Vanderbilt 8, Florida 6 Vanderbilt pulled off a triple steal in a five-run ninth inning that included six stolen bases as the Commodores ran their way into the championship game. Anthony Gomez singled home the go-ahead run — and then stole second, third and home — for Vanderbilt (33-25), which is aiming for its first SEC tournament title since 2007. Vanderbilt fueled the comeback win over the Gators (42-18) with its flurry of stolen bases that included the triple steal with the bases loaded when Gomez made his dash to home plate.

going,� James said. “He knows that I’m a big Gladiator fan, of course Maximus, the Roman numerals, all that stuff. So that’s where the inspiration came from. Sometimes I say I want something, sometimes Mike surprises me with a lot of it. I like that. I like the inspiration.� Of course, the main source of inspiration remains the championship trophy. Saturday was essentially a tuneup day for the Heat, given that they couldn’t exactly plan for an opponent because Game 7 of the Celtics76ers series was still hours from tip-off. Miami practiced again without All-Star forward Chris Bosh, who remains sidelined indefinitely because of a
lower abdominal strain that kept him out of the final five games of the Indiana series. Bosh has been able to resume some light conditioning work, but his return to the court hardly sounds imminent. “For me, it’s my responsibility right now to prepare this team without him,� Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “If and when it gets to a point where he starts to emerge into the picture, we would gladly deal with that, because we’re a more dangerous offensive team, a more dangerous defensive team when he’s in the mix. But for our mental state of health, I love you Chris, but our preparation is without him.� Without Bosh,

need to capture the NBA championship. Miami has the first eight of those out of the way, but in this all-or-nothing season for the Heat, that’s far from enough to satisfy anyone. Beating New York brought one or two quick moments of excitement, as did topping Indiana, but neither provided the ultimate moment. “The first year in Cleveland, when we beat Washington in that first-round series, it was an achievement for not only myself and my teammates but for our franchise, which hadn’t been to the playoffs in a long time,� James said. “Those days are over. My aspiration is to go win a championship now. So those days are over.� They’ve been over for a while, of course. And as if anyone needed any reminder of the goal, James started wearing the “XVI� mouthguard. The idea came from Mike Mancias, a trainer who has worked with James for years, first in Cleveland and for the past two seasons with the Heat. “We always look for inspiration throughout the playoffs and throughout the season to just kind of get me
James and Dwyane Wade predictably were asked to do more, and responded. Wade scored 99 points in the final three games of the Pacers series — all Miami wins — while James scored 98 points in those games. James finished the six games against the Pacers with 65 rebounds, his most ever in a postseason series, topping the 60 he grabbed in a seven-game matchup with Detroit in 2006. And Spoelstra isn’t shy about suggesting that the Heat need Wade and James to stay at that level to keep winning, saying Saturday
what happened in the last three games against Indiana “has to be the norm.� Wade and James indicated they welcomed that. “You prepare to go out there and try to play at a high level,� James said. “Does it always happen that way? It doesn’t. Sometimes the ball just doesn’t go in for you. We’re not just shooting all layups. We’re also making jumpers and floaters and things of that nature. He said the right thing. He said the right thing to just keep us on our toes and let us know we can’t have a relaxed moment.�

Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall makes return BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is making a second trip to Corinth. A replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., the traveling wall will be exhibited June 20-24 on the grounds of North Corinth Baptist Church. A crowd of 11,000 visited the wall during its first visit to Corinth in 2010. “That was a lot of folks over a weekend,� said event chairman Tom Chartres. “The response was so good the last time that we decided to give it one more shot.� Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin signed a proclama-

wall to them.� Organizers had to raise $15,000 to make the second visit possible. The goal was exceeded with donations received in excess used locally. The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is set to arrive on Wednesday, June 20 with the viewing scheduled to begin at
noon the following day. An opening ceremony will be held June 22 at 9 a.m. with a welcome by Brig. Gen. Bill Huff. The Mid-South Navy Band will also be part of the opening ceremony. “We are pleased to be doing this again,� added Chartres. “We have received excellent support
from the Veterans of Foreign Wars and their ladies.� The Wall stands as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Vietnam War. It was created for the purpose of helping heal, rekindle friendships and allow people the chance to visit loved ones in the comfort of their local area.
Almost 2.6 million Americans served in Vietnam. Along with 58,226 memorialized in Washington, 304,000 suffered wounds. The Veterans & Family Honors is a group of dedicated retired military men and women who have served their country as soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines during times of war and peace. The group’s sole mission is to ensure that any man or woman who has served in the United States Armed Forces along with their families receive the proper respect and honor that is deserved upon a veteran’s death and burial.

Always make safety the rule on the water Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of the summer vacation season. It’s time in which many people like to get out on the water and have fun, whether it’s fishing, skiing, or just simply motoring around the lake to do something different. In the past, I was always partial to using the extra day off from work to get in some extra fishing. Memorial Day couldn’t come fast enough as far as I was concerned. I had my share of good times, but after thinking back, I’m also reminded of all the near misses and how important it is to remain safety conscious at all times, especially when the lakes are crowded, perhaps, sometimes with inexperienced boaters. Other than weatherrelated incidents, most of
my near misses were due to houseboats and other large vessels David barreling Green a r o u n d s h a r p Outdoors bends in the lake, paying total disregard to the no wake buoys, without knowing what was around the corner. On more than one occasion my partner and I were almost capsized. The scariest occurrence happened in an area known as the “Steel Bridge” on Pickwick Lake. We were coming around the bend at a moderate speed when we met a houseboat cruising unusually fast, churning out what seemed to be tons of water. All we could do
was brace for the wall of water that was about to hit us. Thinking we had survived the inundation, we soon started fishing some choppy water nearby but, after a little bit, realized the back end of the bass boat was dangerously close to submerging. In our haste to continue fishing, we failed to notice the bilge pump had quit functioning. Quickly, my friend grabbed his tool kit and went to work, and luckily was able to get the unit started again. That goes to show having a mechanical knowledge and the tools to work with can be a life saver on the water. If he hadn’t been prepared, I’d hate to think what might have happened. But incidents like this, where lives are put in jeopardy, could be avoid-
ed if people were more mindful of others, knowledgeable about their boat capabilities, and had a better understanding of boating safety practices. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 85 percent of all boating fatalities involve operators who did not have formal boating training. Just in case you’re unaware, a person planning on operating a boat on Mississippi waters that was born on or after June 30, 1980, must pass a boating safety course and carry the card while operating a boat. People should not only be watchful for others but make safety precautions for themselves. By law, the U.S. Coast Guard requires you carry an approved personal floatation device, or life jacket, for each person aboard
your boat. Statistics show that 9 out of 10 drowning victims may have survived a capsizing or fall overboard if they had been wearing a life jacket. It’s also a good idea to wear a kill switch lanyard while driving a boat. If you happen to fall overboard for whatever reason, the motor will automatically shut down, possibly saving your life or someone else. Holidays and vacations can be a time to let off some steam and celebrate, but beware, alcohol and boating does not mix. Using alcohol is even more dangerous on the water than on land because impairment is accelerated. Besides being unsafe, boating while intoxicated, “BUI,” is illegal and heavy penalties are enforced by state and federal agencies.
Sad to say, but just about every year it seems we have at least one drowning fatality on our area lakes. Take nothing for granted and make safety the rule, be mindful of others, and abide by the law so such a tragedy is less likely to happen. Holiday and vacation time spent on the lake is supposed to be a time of pure enjoyment with family and friends, not a time of mourning.

Over 7,000 flags go up BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, veterans, members of civic clubs and other patriotic area residents spent Saturday morning at Corinth National Cemetery placing American flags on over 7,000 graves. Kenneth Melvin and his grandson, 11-yearold Jackson Melvin, both of Corinth, have participated in the event for the last five years — ever since Jackson joined the Cub Scouts. He is currently a member of Corinth’s Boy Scouts Group 923. “We have three family members right here in this section,” said the elder Melvin, who served 14 years in the Air Force. McNairy County resident Steve Reed, an avid Civil War reenactor, has
made the trip across the state line for seven or eight years now to be part of the flag placing, he said. “It’s a way to pay homage to these veterans and all they’ve done,” said Reed. “They’ve done so much. Some gave all — like that Lee Greenwood song.” Antonio Boyd, a 15year Navy veteran, was born and raised in Corinth. He represented the Tunica-based Freemason lodge, Keystone 20, in the flag placing. Corinth photographer Mike McEwen said it was his second year to place flags at the cemetery. He does it in honor of his father, a Korean War veteran. In a pair of tents near the north entrance to the cemetery participants were given free refresh-
ments provided by three local organizations — the Post 6 Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion and the Legion Riders. As the morning heat climbed toward the day’s high of 91 degrees, more participants lined up to get bottled water. It was the fifth year to be part of the event for Tina Hurst, a Corinth native and president of the Ladies Auxiliary. “Being from a military family it means a lot to us for people to come out and recognize our veterans,” Hurst said. “It teaches kids Americanism. It’s nice to know that we’re in a country where kids can be taught what the flag means, what it stands for, and the sacrifices our veterans have made for them to be able to come out and do this.”

Decorating tips for newlyweds Special to the Daily Corinthian
Something new
(StatePoint) For most newlyweds, getting back to real life after the honeymoon means turning a house into a shared home. But merging the furniture, housewares and artwork of two individuals is not always a cakewalk. Here are some ideas that will help keep you both happy as you plan your new home and future together:
Thinking of your combined belongings in terms of “ours” and not “mine” is a transition that you can make smoother by picking new things out together. Even if your home is furnished, it doesn’t hurt to invest in a new side table or a pair of lamps in which you can take pride in as a couple. What you put on your walls can also help you bridge the style gap. “Choosing art together is a great way for new couples to decorate their home as a team,” says Mariam Naficy, CEO of Minted.com, an online stationery and art store. You can give art even more meaning by presenting wedding art to your spouse as a gift to remember your big day.
Choose your battles When merging belongings you may not agree with each other every step of the way, but it’s not worth picking a fight. Choose what is most important to you so your protests carry more weight. For example, it’s okay to put your foot down when it comes to painting an entire room a color you detest, but it may be better to let it go if you’re talking about the color of the bathroom rug. Likewise, let your spouse have his or her way when you recognize what is meaningful to them. You may hate the rocking chair in your living room, but if it belonged to your spouse’s great-great-grandmother, learn to love it.
Divide and conquer No matter the size of your home, each of you should have a space that you can call your own and have the freedom to take whatever decorating liberties you please. Living together doesn’t have to mean forfeiting your individuality. If you and your spouse have different approaches to home décor, use the experience as a first opportunity to collaborate as a married couple.

Sorkin, Hemingway, Snooki: A mixed TV summer BY LYNN ELBER AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES — Television isn’t taking the summer off anymore, and networks fervently hope viewers won’t either. To make the remote control as key to the season as sunblock and barbecue, cable and broadcasting are pumping out a variety of shows and specials, both scripted and reality. And NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and Howard Stern are not the standard-bearers: Welcome back to TV, Aaron (”The West Wing”) Sorkin! Here are highlights of what’s on tap as the temperature rises: “Duets,” ABC, debuted May 24. Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke and Jennifer Nettles serve as mentors and singing partners for would-be pop stars. “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” HBO, May 28.
Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman star as the great writer and the strongwilled war correspondent who proved his match. “Hatfields & McCoys,” History, May 28-30. A three-night miniseries about the epic feud between clans stars Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton. “Dogs in the City,” CBS, May 30. New York dog expert Justin Silver helps canines and their humans mend relationship fences. “Breaking Pointe,” CW, May 31. A peek at the demanding life of dancers with the respected Ballet West in Salt Lake City. “The Choice,” Fox, June 7. A shameless takeoff on NBC’s “The Voice,” this contest gives celebrities including Dean Cain and Joe Jonas the chance to win a blind date. “Bunheads,” ABC Family, June 11.

The alien invaders are back for season two and so are Noah Wyle and the stalwart Earthling resistance. “The Glass House,” ABC, June 18. A houseful of people vying for a $250,000 prize are in the audience’s control. CBS has sued to stop the show, claiming it violates its “Big Brother” copyrights. “The Soul Man,” TV Land, June 20. Cedric The Entertainer and Niecy Nash star in a sitcom about a former R&B singer who finds a new calling as a preacher. “Snooki and JWoww,”
MTV, June 21. “Jersey Shore” BFFS Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni “JWoww” Farley get their own show, just in time for Snooki’s pregnancy. “The Great Escape,” TNT, June 24. Three teams are put into actionadventure movie situations in this reality series and must get out. “The Newsroom,” HBO, June 24. After dabbling in films (such as the Oscarwinning “The Social Network”), Sorkin returns to series TV with cable news in his sights. “Anger Management,” FX, June 28. With “Two and a Half Men” debacle behind him, Charlie Sheen is looking for laughs playing an unconventional therapist. “Brand X with Russell Brand,” FX, June 28. The actor-comedian offers his perspective on politics, pop culture and more in a
new late-night show. “Queen & Country,” PBS, July 1. As Queen Elizabeth II marks 60 years on the throne this summer, here’s a primer on the customs and surrounding the British monarchy and a tour of sites central to royal history. “Episodes,” Showtime, July 1. “Friends” star Matt LeBlanc won a Golden Globe for this satire of the Hollywood machine, returning for season two. “Masterpiece Mystery!,” PBS, July 8. The showcase offers “Endeavor,” about Inspector Morse’s years as a rookie constable, and returning “Inspector Lewis” with Kevin Whately and Laurence Fox. “The Closer,” TNT, July 9. It’s season seven and out for law woman Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick), but the drama bequeaths us an Aug. 13 spinoff, “Major Crimes”
with Mary McDonnell. “Trust Us With Your Life,” ABC, July 10. Fred Willard hosts this new improv show, aided and abetted by Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Jonathan Mangum and celebrity guests. “Breaking Bad,” AMC, July 15. The drama about a teacher (Bryan Cranston) who turns to methmaking airs its fifth and final season, broken into two with eight episodes now and the rest in 2013. “Top Chef Masters,” Bravo, July 25. A dozen chefs compete for glory and $100,000 for their charity, with judging by experts and celebrities including Sugar Ray Leonard and Dita Von Teese. Summer Olympics, July 27-Aug. 12, NBC and sister cable channels. It’s reality, it’s scripted, it’s sports, it’s a cheap armchair trip to London; the Summer Games have it all.
Taking another look at 5 ultimate summer movie classics BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic
LOS ANGELES — I’m just going to put it out there: I stole the idea for this week’s Five Most list. It’s not even borrowing. It’s just flat-out theft. My good friend Matt Singer over at the Criticwire blog at Indiewire. com came up with a fun question for his weekly critic survey: With Memorial Day weekend coming, what is the perfect summer movie? So many answers popped into my head, I thought, “Huh. This is kinda like a list.” The possibilities are endless: They could be blockbusters, movies
that take place during the summer, movies that provoke fond childhood memories of the season, or ones that are just plain hot. Here are five of my picks for the ultimate summer movie. Don’t forget your sunscreen. ■ “Point Break” (1991): This was my choice for Singer’s survey. I wrote of Kathryn Bigelow’s crime thriller, starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze: “Clearly the correct answer is ‘Point Break.’ It’s got surf, sun and sand, action and adventure, plenty of partying and activities like skydiving. Everyone’s gorgeous.
And it features that classic summertime activity: robbing banks while wearing masks of the U.S. presidents. It’s just wellcrafted, knowing escapism. Vaya con dios.” ■ “Jaws” (1975): The original blockbuster, it’s the little movie that became a huge pop culture sensation. Sure, the tangible nature of the effects in this killer-shark tale seems quaint and maybe even a little cheesy now, given the computer- generated spectacles to which we’ve grown accustomed. But this early Steven Spielberg film remains one of his best, with his masterful method of creating suspense; he did
Horoscopes Sunday, May 27, 2012 BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Creators Syndicate
When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury’s conjunction in Gemini brings a sense of immediate relevance to history. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll act out of a high level of responsibility. Circumstances could render a member of your group incapable of making a sound decision, so you’ll discreetly decide for both of you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It won’t help you to be a perfectionist now. Get your work out there in whatever form it happens to exist, at least to a small audience who could help you take it to the next level. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your gift of gab will come in handy, as you’ll connect with people you wouldn’t meet except for the circumstance you create with your conversation. You correctly sense whom you’re supposed to know and you start talking. CANCER (June 22-July 22). In all ways, you need to be seen. Start with the outside, and your attitude will echo the change. It may help you to take up more space with your body. You’ll feel more powerful and visible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re generous, but you don’t like to spend money you don’t have to spend. Doing research keeps you from unnecessarily wasting money while still giving your loved ones the experiences you want them to have. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When
you think about the vast airless surface of all the other planets known to man, it becomes clear: Everything, even your own breath, is a gift that life is giving you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Placing too much importance on short-term goals is dangerous. The long view makes potential losses in the immediate environment seem less important. A calm demeanor accompanies the maturity of this kind of thinking. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll feel all sorts of things in the course of an afternoon: comfort, sorrow, frustration, happiness, wonder, excitement. You’ll courageously stay with each feeling and let it take its course. This is true courage. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Take your own sweet time. Go at the pace that comes naturally to you, and let the others speed ahead or lag behind; it doesn’t matter. Good fortune follows you when you stick to your own clock. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a strong sense of the motives of others, and you will counteract any force in competition for what you want. Your effective use of silence will make a statement that words never could. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You wouldn’t believe how delicate certain people’s egos really are. Unless you’re careful to apply enormous amounts of sensitivity to a situation, you’ll soon find out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). “Easy come, easy go” is a good motto for the day. If you get the feeling that you’re in the wrong place, move. No need to hang out just to prove there was something right about how you landed where you did.
Cryptoquip
a lot with a little, and he knew even then that it’s what you don’t show that can be the most frightening. ■ “The Seven Year Itch” (1955): Very few images earn the hyperbolic, overused adjective of “iconic,” but the sight of Marilyn Monroe standing over a subway grate, letting the breeze blow up her billowing white dress, truly does. Monroe’s playfully seductive charms were on full display in Billy Wilder’s comedy as the flirtatious neighbor who tempts the married Tom Ewell during a long, hot New York summer. ■ “The Flamingo Kid” (1984): This is one of
those childhood-memory picks for me — it defined what a coming-of-age movie should be, with its ambition and disillusionment, awkwardness and romance. Young, charismatic Matt Dillon plays a kid from Brooklyn who falls under the spell of a wealthy member (Richard Crenna) of the Long Island beach club where he works during summer 1963, to the dismay of his working-class dad (Hector Elizondo). ■ “Do the Right Thing” (1989): Not the most upbeat or feel-good of examples, granted. But it simply radiates heat, from the record-setting, sweltering
Brooklyn day on which it takes place to the tension that builds between residents of various ethnicities to the flames that engulf the neighborhood pizza joint in a climactic, riotous frenzy. This is still one of Spike Lee’s best films, easily — an expert blend of style and substance, of sharp writing and colorful characters. To this day, I can’t hear Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power” without thinking of its significant use here. Think of any other examples?
