Police probe murder of taxi driver

BY MARK BOEHLER editor@dailycorinthian.com

Memorial Day weekend proved busy for the Corinth Police Department as investigators search for leads in the city’s fourth murder in five months.

Arrests were quickly made in the other cases, but the murder of a long-time Corinth tax cab driver who was shot sometime early Sunday morning outside

Liberty Cab Service on Taylor Street in downtown Corinth is proving to be more difficult.

“There is nothing new at this time,” said Corinth Police Department Detective Captain Ralph Dance on Monday afternoon. “We’re following up on all rumors and leads.”

Investigators believe robbery to be the motive in the case.

The victim has been identified as Bunch Street resident

Cleo L. Henderson, who celebrated his 66th birthday on May 16.

He was found lying face up at 2:39 a.m. Sunday on the sidewalk outside the cab service with a single gunshot wound.

“We believe robbery to be the motive,” said Dance.

Henderson’s body has been sent to Jackson for an autopsy, said the investigator.

Funeral arrangements are

incomplete with Corinthian Funeral Home in charge.

The fatal shooting victim’s last known contact was 1:09 a.m. Sunday with a phone call from cab service owner Billy Burress, said Dance.

When Burress didn’t hear from the cab driver, he went to the taxi service and found the shooting victim, noted the investigator.

Anyone with any information

about the murder should call the Corinth Police Department at 662-287-3377 or Crime Stoppers, he said.

“Rumors are just flying,” added Dance. “Which is normal.”

Dance believes Henderson’s death gives Corinth an unfortunate new murder record -- four deaths in just five months.

“In all my years, we’ve never had so many murder cases in just a short time,” said Dance.

Vietnam veteran Mike Hennen of Savannah, Tenn., rolls through Shiloh National Cemetery on Memorial Day. The retired U.S. Marine served from 1974-76 and his helicopter full of infantry was shot down over Cambodia on May 15, 1975. Hennen was injured in the crash. Today the 55-year-old veteran says he is in declining health and he lost his leg last year.

TUPELO — With changing times come new demands for The Tennessee Valley Authority.

President and CEO Bill Johnson discussed some of the challenges facing the power producer for 9 million people in an address at the recent annual State of the Region meeting.

“We are trying to adapt to the realities that are different today than existed from World War II to about 2008 or 2009,” said Johnson. “We are trying to adapt to slower growth, more regulation and greater energy efficiency.”

Not so long ago, TVA saw growth of 3 percent per year and steadily increasing revenues.

Now, the trend is “much slower growth in the use of electric-

ity — in fact, no growth,” said Johnson.

“That’s partly the economy and partly because we are using our electricity more wisely.”

Honoring veterans

Staff photo by Mark Boehler

Leonard Pratt, MD, of Corinth was the keynote speak Sunday afternoon at the Memorial Day program inside Corinth National Cemetery. Hosted by American Legion Post #6 and the American Legion Auxiliary, the annual ceremony pays tribute to fallen veterans of all wars. Dr. Pratt served in the U.S. Air Force from 1987-94. “I am proud to be an American because of the men and women who gave their lives,” Dr. Pratt told the crowd. “On this day we need to thank these people for what they have done ... we should honor our veterans and their families.”

So many thoughts will never wane For what we shared, let closeness reign Our bond was tight, the best to see For what we served, this had to be The purpose was to keep you free God Bless the brave, deservedly ...

– “How We Recall” By Roger J. Robicheau SHILOH, Tenn. — It was a beautiful yet solemn day at Shiloh National Military Park as visitor’s gathered to pay tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes.

Ceremonial wreaths were placed and military salutes fired at the largest of the Confederate mass graves, located at tour stop #13 (Water Oaks Pond) on the battlefield tour route and at Shiloh National Cemetery.

“If there was ever a more appropriate place to be on Memorial Day than Shiloh National Military Park, I don’t know where it would be,” said Alec W. McCommon, a retired member of the United States

Air Force as he reflected upon the significance of the day.

“This continues to be a mystical, meaningful and somber place for many of us.”

The Collierville, Tenn., resident said a defining moment for him came as he watched a silver flag-draped coffin being escorted home by servicemen.

“I had a momentary glimpse of what it was like for soldiers returning home,” said McCommon as he addressed the crowd over 100. “There was no

need for caption or explanation. One moment said it all without a word and made it crystal clear of the price that was paid so that I could be free ... so that we could all be free.”

Attendees flooded through the cemetery gates. Some sweating beneath the many layers of their period attire, others using the warm weather as an excuse to break out shorts, tanks and sun-dresses.

SHILOH CONTINUED FROM 1

Spreading out blankets and breaking out folding chairs beneath the shade, guests from as far as Maine situated themselves in anticipation of what they would hear.

After a prayer and short invocation by Minister Westley Hazel of Savannah Church of Christ, all placed their hands above their hearts and spoke in unison as they observed the Pledge of Allegiance.

The silence was palpable as Lieutenant Colonel David P. Eldrige of the U.S. Army National Guard in Arlington, Virginia approached the podium.

With a heavy heart and important message to bring, he chose to say more in silence than with words.

Referencing a quote by Abraham Lincoln, he began his brief comments.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never

forget what they did here ...

“I would not be so arrogant as to think that my words here would be any difference. So, today I have no plans to say anything. Instead, I will pose a question,” said Eldrige. “No one joins the military expecting to be killed. I say this not to be melancholy, for someday we will all go, but the solider will be remembered by a single white stone. My question is this, will you take a day out to honor those whose lives are commemorated by a single white stone?”

He challenged everyone to reflect upon the true meaning of Memorial Day, a day that had become synonymous with barbecues, picnics and a day off work.

“It’s not about getting a day off or getting a good deal on bed sheets,” he said. “Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.”

most,” said Johnson.

As TVA strives to rely more on cleaner energy sources, its Watts Bar Unit 2 nuclear plant is on schedule to go live next year with enough power for 650,000 homes. Watts Bar 2 will be the first nuclear plant in the U.S. to meet new Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations established after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan.

TVA is also increasing the use of gas as a generation source, said Johnson, and is working with local cooperatives to boost efficiency.

“Since 2007, we have avoided the need to build generation to serve about 150,000 homes just through

common sense energy efficiency programs,” he said.

TVA also continues to invest in measures to ensure that the power is always on.

“A lot of people don’t think about reliability,” said Johnson. “I come home, I hit the switch and the lights come on. My microwave clock has not reset to 12. My computer monitor is on … But it really matters to businesses and industry, particularly with sensitive processes, where just a blink can make it start over.”

Providing reliable power is just part of TVA’s mission.

In the past 15 months, it has helped recruit or maintain about 5,500 jobs in the region, he said.

The State of the Region meeting was held last Thursday.

Banker appointed to federal council ST. LOUIS — John D. Haynes, Sr., president and CEO of Farmers & Merchants Bank, Baldwyn, was recently appointed to a three-year term to the St. Louis Fed’s Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council (CDIAC), which meets twice a year to advise St. Louis Fed President James Bullard on regional credit, banking and economic conditions.

Council members serve staggered terms and are senior executives of banks, thrift institutions and credit unions from across the St. Louis Fed’s Eighth District, which is comprised of the state of Arkansas, and parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. The

Haynes council’s first meeting of 2014 was held in early March. The second meeting will be held October 14 and 15.

In addition to Haynes, Dennis McIntosh, chairman of the board, president and CEO, Ozarks Federal Savings and Loan

Association of Farmington, Mo., was appointed to a three-year term ending in 2016. Gregory Ikemire, president and CEO of The Peoples State Bank of Newton, Ill., was appointed to a two-year term ending in 2015. The new members replaced outgoing members Gary E. Metzger, president of Liberty Bank, Springfield, Mo.; Gordon Waller, president and CEO of First State Bank and Trust, Caruthersville, Mo.; and Vance Witt, chairman of BNA Bank, New Albany, Miss.

Haynes is a graduate of the University of Mississippi, where he received his bachelor’s degree in business and finance and his juris doctorate.

In addition to serving as a member of the Missis-

sippi House of Representatives, Haynes has also been an attorney with the Baldwyn-based firm of Haynes & Haynes.

He has served as a trustee of the Southeastern School of Consumer Credit and as a member of the executive board of Mississippi Bankers Association. He is past president of the Prentiss County Development Association, the Baldwyn Endowment for Excellence in Education and the Baldwyn Rotary Club.

Haynes has also served as the attorney for the Prentiss County Board of Supervisors and for the city of Baldwyn and the town of Marietta. He is the former publisher of The Baldwyn News.

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors es-

tablished its CDIAC in 2010 as a mechanism for community banks, thrift institutions, and credit unions (with assets of $10 billion or less) to provide input to the Board on the economy, lending conditions and other issues.

Each of the Fed’s District banks then established its own local advisory council, with one member chosen to serve on the Board’s CDIAC and to participate in meetings twice a year with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, D.C. For more information, see the St. Louis Fed’s CDIAC site, or for more information and background about all of the Federal Reserve CDIACs, see the Federal Reserve Board of Governors’ web site.

Cochran: Political record reflects credit on state

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

BATESVILLE — U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran says he wants to continue using his status as a top member of the Appropriations Committee to support federal projects such as military bases, university research and agriculture projects in Mississippi.

Cochran, who was first elected to the Senate in 1978 after six years in the House, is being challenged by second-term state Sen. Chris McDaniel in the June 3 Republican primary.

The contest has been dominated recently with news about a Mississippi blogger photographing Cochran’s wife in the nursing home where she has lived the past 13 years with dementia. However, both candidates have said repeatedly that they want to discuss issues.

The Associated Press recently interviewed both candidates. Here are excerpts from the interview with Cochran, which was

“There is a large federal debt, and I think that is a danger to continued economic growth and prosperity.”

Thad Cochran U.S. Senator done April 25 outside a tire warehouse he toured in Batesville: AP: Your opponent, Chris McDaniel says you are responsible for creating a huge debt in this country. What is your response?

Cochran: “There is a large federal debt, and I think that is a danger to continued economic growth and prosperity.

So, we have to be cautious and careful how we deal with it. A certain amount of debt is acceptable, I think. And the experts provide testimony at hearings every year when we’re review-

ing federal requests from the federal government for spending funds to continue to operate their departments. And it’s always a question about how much money do they really need, and are there ways to economize in government — like families have to economize when times get tough.

And the answer is, they should be required to live within their means and within the limits of funding that are prescribed by Congress.”

AP: McDaniel and several other people spoke at a Tea Party Express event outside the state Capitol.

They said you are too liberal and are out of touch with Mississippi. How do you respond?

Cochran: “I disagree with the criticism that my opponent is making of my service in the Senate.

But I think I’ve acquitted myself with due diligence and have performed in a way that reflects credit on our state. I’ve been elected to leadership positions in the United States Senate by others who serve in the Senate from other states. I’ve been honored to have senior positions on committees like Appropriations.... I’ve actually chaired the committee when the Republicans were in the majority, and I look forward to that opportunity again. In being in a position like that, I can certainly use my influence to help maintain an appropriate level of funding for federal agencies and departments

Man killed on ATV

while still making sure that we’re getting what we pay for at the federal level and really don’t have wasteful, ineffective use of taxpayer dollars.”

AP: The day you announced for re-election, you told the AP that you do intend to serve a full six-year term, if re-elected. Is that still the case?

Cochran: “I sure hope, if I am alive and well, I’ll be serving. Yes, I think that’s something the people have a right to expect, and I intend to serve a full term.”

AP: How is your health?

Cochran: “I’m doing fine. I’m real lucky.”

AP: Do you intend to debate Sen. McDaniel?

Cochran: “I don’t know what there is to debate.

He obviously is going to criticize my record of service. We disagree on some of the issues. And there are probably some things that we can agree on.”

Corinth, Miss.

Senate race: Goldwater was wrong STARKVILLE — So exactly who among us becomes convinced that an incapacitated dementia patient’s dignity, safety and privacy are expendable so long as those sacrifices are useful in swaying a few votes in a political campaign?

In a word, extremists – people who have become convinced that drastic, perhaps even criminal behavior is warranted so long as Sid Salter that behavior accomplishes the task at hand. If it frightColumnist ens an elderly woman lost inside herself, so what?

The judicial process will determine the particulars of what happened to Rose Clayton Cochran in the supposed privacy and safety of her room at St. Catherine’s Village in Madison. But the arrests in the case to date suggest a common bond among the accused in a zealous, rigid set of political and moral beliefs.

It calls to mind the late Republican U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater’s 1964 GOP Convention speech at the old Cow Palace in San Francisco, Calif., in which he famously said in a paraphrase of Cicero: “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”

A half-century after Goldwater carried Mississippi and only five other states in the 1964 landslide presidential victory by Lyndon B. Johnson (Johnson took 486 electoral votes to Goldwater’s 52), Mississippi is nearing the apex of what started to develop in that election as the new Republican “Solid South.”

Mississippi’s once seemingly invincible Democratic Party majority began to crumble in 1964 and even with the largest per capita African American population in the U.S., Mississippi began that year to move purposefully to the right and to the GOP first in federal and then in state and local politics.

Still, it would be 1991 when Mississippi finally elected a Republican governor in the feisty person of Vicksburg contractor Kirk Fordice. Over the next two decades, Republican political dominance in Mississippi moved inexorably from a few statewide elected officials to the present GOP control of the Mississippi Legislature and seven-ofeight GOP statewide elected officials.

Nationally, as labor union influence declines coincided with erosion of the Democratic Party’s strength, the pre-1964 major political parties began to morph into the more modern iterations of what we now consider Republicans and Democrats.

Democrats subdivided into traditional “New Deal” and “Great Society” partisans and their MoveOn.org and Occupy counterparts. Under the Republican tent, the party saw a growing chasm between so-called traditional “Establishment” Republicans and their more libertarian counterparts in the Tea Party and other self-styled “patriot groups.”

In other words, the country over a halfcentury became more intensely partisan and more intensely divided not mere by party labels, but by philosophical purity within their own parties. It was no longer enough to be a Republican unless one could pass an arbitrary litmus test of conservative purity. The same went for Democrats who took a more moderate, less confrontational path on the liberal side as well.

What’s the breakage? Compromise and consensus in politics are now dirty words.

Reaching across the aisle to actually make government work is no longer seen as a laudable quality; rather, it’s now seen as an act of philosophical treason. It’s no longer enough for people to disagree over politics agreeably. Now, the goal is to wage scorched earth political war even in party primaries.

Most people have the emotional maturity to realize that the vast majority of political rhetoric is just that – rhetoric – designed to create fear or anger. Some on the extremes of both major parties buy into the incendiary rhetoric. Some agree with Goldwater.

But what has government by extremes brought us in America? Gridlock in Washington, government by institutional paralysis, and the cynical politics of the futile stunt and the empty gesture. And it’s made the slow, tragic fade into the oblivion of Alzheimer’s and dementia even more cruel for one lady who wasn’t bothering a soul and who was blissfully unaware that a U.S. Senate campaign was underway – Rose Cochran.

The VA, the NHS and choice PORTSTEWART, Northern Ireland — President Obama Wednesday replayed a familiar scenario when dealing with scandal, in this case delays for treatment, deaths, alleged cover-ups and other acts of Cal malfeasance Thomas reported at Columnist V e t e r a n s Administration hospitals in the United States: first express outrage, next announce an investigation and then say he won’t comment on the scandal until the results of the investigation are in, promising people will be held “accountable,” if they violated the law. Good luck with that.

Meanwhile, critics are using the VA scandal to indict Obamacare. They believe what is occurring at VA hospitals is a preview of coming destruction should the U.S. government move beyond meddling in health insurance into a full-scale takeover of the entire health care system.

These critics need only

look across the Atlantic at the United Kingdom’s crumbling National Health Service (NHS) as a glaring example of the dysfunction that results when government runs health care. For years, as is the case with VA hospitals, NHS horror stories have abounded, reported dutifully by the British press. These include neglect of elderly patients, long waiting times (like the VA) to see a doctor and longer waits for necessary surgery, which the government in some cases denies based on cost, age of patient and unusually high numbers of deaths at some hospitals.

The VA could learn from what occurred at Hinchingbrooke hospital in Cambridgeshire, England. As reported by the Daily Mail, as recently as two years ago, Hinchingbrooke had a deficit of $16.8 million a year; it ranked 102nd in the country in admission waiting time; charged $67 to park, with fines for overstaying, and in what sounds like the punch line to a joke, took one week to change a light bulb.

Today, the hospital is due to break even. A surplus is

expected next year. Hinchingbrooke has zoomed up in ranking to number 20 in the country in waiting time.

Parking now costs $4.21 with fines scrapped. Minor maintenance problems are dealt with in one day.

How was Hinchingbrooke, an NHS hospital, miraculously transformed?

It was turned over to a private firm. Once described as a “basket case,” the hospital is now ranked number one in patient satisfaction.

A key to its healing, reports The Daily Mail, was “loosening the grip of managers and accountants.” A majority of board members, once bean counters and bureaucrats, are now clinicians. “Doctors, nurses and admin(istrative) staff have also been put into small groups which have representatives who meet senior managers twice a month” to discuss problems. Patients are promised any complaints will be resolved within three weeks.

The Hinchingbrooke example should teach the VA something about privatization and what can happen when government tries to run a nation’s entire health

care system. Veterans who face long waits, or suffer from life-threatening conditions, should receive vouchers so they can be treated at private hospitals. Since, according to the White House, President Obama only “learned about” the VA scandal from TV news reports (though he spoke about them during the 2008 presidential campaign and was critical of President Bush for not fixing them), Congress must take the lead in offering treatment alternatives to veterans. Again, lack of money isn’t the problem. Bureaucracy and incompetence are the problems.

Reforming VA hospitals should be a 2016 campaign theme all presidential candidates must address and they must then offer specific solutions. A quasi-government-private approach might work. It couldn’t be worse than the current system.

The specter still haunts Europe Memorial Day will likely bring alarmist headlines in the elite media about a populist fever raging in Europe, and manifest in the shocking returns from the elections for the European Parliament.

Marine Le Pat Pen’s NaBuchanan tional Front Columnist may run first in France, and Nigel Farage’s UK Independence Party first in Britain.

What is happening in Europe?

In his unpublished “Leviathan and Its Enemies,” my late friend Sam Francis wrote of the coming crisis of the “soft managerial state,” of which the European Union is a textbook example.

Oswald Spengler used the word “Civilization” to describe “the terminal phase of a cultural organism,” wrote Francis. In 1941, Pitirim Sorokin described the characteristics of a Spenglerian “Civilization”: “[C]osmopolitanism and the megalopolis vs. ‘home,’ ‘race,’ ‘blood group’ and ‘fatherland’; scientific irreligion or abstract dead metaphysics instead of the religion of the heart; ‘cold matter-of-factness’ vs. reverence and tradition and respect for age; internation-

alist ‘society’ instead of ‘my country’ and state (nation); money and abstract values in lieu of earth and real (living) values; ‘mass’ instead of ‘folk’; sex in lieu of motherhood ... and so on.”

Between the managerial state and the civilization and culture that preceded it, the polarities are stark.

Yet they mirror the clashes of today as the European Union of Jean Monnet and Robert Schuman’s vision exhibits unmistakable symptoms of disintegration and decay.

In a way, this is remarkable.

For undeniably the rise of the EU has coincided with an unprecedented rise in the standard of living for the hundreds of millions from the Atlantic to the Baltic and from the North Sea to the Mediterranean.

Still, though Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “Parliament of man” and “Federation of the world” captured the imagination of 19th-and 20thcentury one-worlders, the dream has proven incapable of capturing the hearts of European peoples. Who would die for the Brussels bureaucracy?

What are the identifying marks of these populist parties that have sprouted up now in almost every European country?

There is first the rejection of universalism and transnationalism, and a reversion

to patriotism and its songs, symbols, holidays, history, myths and legends.

To peoples such as these, the preservation of the separate and unique ethnic and cultural identity of the nation supersedes all claims of supranational organizations, be it the EU or U.N. This sentiment is reflected not only in fierce resistance to further integration within the EU, but in visceral hostility to further immigration from the Third World, Islamic world or Eastern Europe.

These people want to remain who and what they are.

Even the Swiss last winter voted for an initiative of the People’s Party calling for reintroduction of quotas for immigrants from the EU. A second telltale sign of the new populism is traditionalism and cultural conservatism, reverence for the religious and cultural history and heritage of the nation and its indigenous people.

That victory in the recent Eurovision contest of Conchita, the bearded transvestite drag queen who performed in a gown, though celebrated by much of the European press, sent a message to millions of traditionalists that this is no longer their culture.

Another aspect of the rising populist right, as the New York Times notes, is a grudging admiration for

Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Why? Putin not only publicly rejects the moral relativism of the West, under his guidance Russian social legislation is being consciously rooted in traditional Christian concepts of right and wrong.

Putin is the anti-Obama, moving to occupy the cultural-moral vacuum left by America. As we celebrate multiculturalism, LGBT rights, and abortion on demand, Putin repudiates Hollywood values.

When Western politicians and media rail against his annexation of Crimea as a violation of America’s rulesbased New World Order, Putin invokes patriotism and nationalism in his defense: Crimea belonged to us for 200 years. Most of its people are Russians. They wish to return to Mother Russia. Our warm-water port is there. Americans do not dictate to Russians where Russia’s vital interests are concerned.

In the anti-American precincts of Europe, they are applauding.

Yet another specter is haunting Europe: secessionism. Scots, Catalans and Venetians wish to declare independence and become again the countries they once were.

Obama to reframe foreign policy WASHINGTON — For much of President Barack Obama’s tenure in the White House, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have provided a well-defined framework for his foreign policy philosophy. He ran for the White House pledging to bring the conflicts to a close and promised the American people that he would seek to avoid unnecessary war.

But as the second of those two wars winds down, Obama finds himself struggling to articulate what role he sees the U.S. playing on the world stage for the remainder of his second term. The ongoing conflict in Syria and Russia’s threatening moves have also raised questions about how the U.S. can credibly threaten consequences against international foes when Obama so clearly wants to stay out of another large-scale military endeavor.

The president’s surprise trip to Afghanistan Sunday marked the start of a concerted White House effort that aims to answer some of those questions. Even as Obama heralded a drawdown of U.S. forces that will bring the war to “a responsible end� later this year, he said it was likely that a small contingent of U.S. forces would stay behind for counterterrorism missions, as well as to train Afghan security forces. The president returned to Washington just after

daybreak Monday, then attended a Memorial Day wreath-laying and remembrance ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Â

U.S. hacking case belies China link WASHINGTON — China may be trying to steal trade secrets from U.S. businesses, as federal prosecutors allege. Yet for many U.S. companies, China’s vast market remains an irresistible source of business. The Justice Department’s indictment last week of five Chinese military officials accused them of trying to pilfer confidential information from American companies.

But even some of the alleged U.S. corporate victims of the hackers have little incentive to cheer any trade rupture with China.

One, Westinghouse, is building four nuclear reactors in China.

Another, specialty steelmaker Allegheny Technologies, operates a joint venture in Shanghai. A third, Alcoa, is the biggest foreign investor in China’s aluminum market. Indeed, Alcoa went so far as to downplay Justice’s charges: “No material information was compromised during this incident which occurred several years ago,� the company said.

American companies are in a delicate position. They want to maintain good relations with China, the world’s second-biggest economy and a market where U.S. firms’ earn-

ings grew nearly 50 percent last year. But they’re also increasingly fearful of Chinese hackers stealing their trade secrets.

A U.S.-China Business Council survey has found that cybersecurity is a growing threat for U.S. companies in China: It jumped from to No. 14 last year from No. 23 in 2012 on a list of gripes about the Chinese market.

Legal wins bolster same-sex marriage WASHINGTON — One after another and in sometimes evocative language, judges appointed by Republican and Democratic presidents are declaring it’s too late to turn back on the topic of same-sex marriage. The unbroken string of state and federal court rulings in support of gay and lesbian unions takes in every region of the country, including states of the Confederacy, and brings to 26 states where same-sex couples can get married or a judge has ruled they ought to be allowed.

It also may have pushed gay marriage to a legal tipping point, where the cause has won such wide-ranging approval that it will be hard for the Supreme Court to rule against it.

The court rulings and the measured response of even elected officials who oppose same-sex marriage may be especially important for justices who have worried about acting too quickly to impose same-sex marriage nationwide.

Inmate dies, others injured during fight WOODVILLE — A prison official says one inmate has died and several were injured in a fight at a prison in southwestern Mississippi that resulted in the facility being put on lockdown.

Wilkinson County Correctional Facility spokesman Issa Arnita says inmate Kendrick Walker died in a fight involving six inmates Sunday afternoon in one of the prison’s housing units.

Another inmate was seriously injured. Four others have injuries that aren’t life-threatening.

Arnita says the prison remains on lockdown Monday and the death is being investigated. He says authorities don’t yet know the motive behind the fight.

Mississippi Department of Corrections records indicate that the 33-year-old Walker was serving a 10-year sentence for convictions including cocaine possession, marijuana possession with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Walker’s tentative release date was May 2015. Â

Prison warden killed at family gathering LEXINGTON — A prison system warden was shot and killed by her nephew at a family gathering in Holmes County.

Sheriff Willie March tells WLBT-TV that Fay Ann Noel was struck in the chest with a 20-gauge shotgun.

Witnesses say that her 25-year-old nephew, Kenneth Lee Williams, fired the shot that killed the

58-year-old.

Noel was pronounced dead at Holmes County Hospital in Lexington.

March says Williams fled the scene, but was later arrested at the hospital when he was brought there by a relative for treatment.

Williams is charged with murder.

Shooting suspect turns himself in COLUMBUS — A suspect in a deadly shooting at graduation party has turned himself in to Columbus police.

Interim Chief Tony Carleton tells WCBI-TV that Columbus resident Kale Scott turned himself in to police around 6 p.m.

Sunday for questioning about his involvement in the shooting.

Investigators say 19-year-old Scott pulled out a gun and started shooting after an argument at a graduation party at the Columbus Fairgrounds around 12:05 a.m. Friday.

McDaniel says he wants to curb federal spending

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — State Sen. Chris McDaniel says if he’s elected to the U.S. Senate, he wants to reduce federal spending and work with Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, who were elected with the help of tea party voters.

McDaniel, who was first elected to the state Legislature in 2007, is challenging longtime U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran in the June 3 Republican primary.

The contest has been dominated recently with news about a Mississippi blogger photographing Cochran’s wife in the nursing home where she has lived the past 13 years

with dementia. However, both candidates have said repeatedly that they want to discuss issues.

The Associated Press recently interviewed both candidates. Here are excerpts from the interview with McDaniel, which was done May 15 outside the state Capitol in Jackson: AP: You’ve said many times that Thad Cochran has been in Washington too long, has spent too much money and is too liberal. Could you elaborate?

McDaniel: “He’s voted to fund Obamacare, he’s voted to increase the debt ceiling ... he’s voted to increase his own pay multiple times. He’s voted to increase the U.S. share of UN peacekeeping costs.

He’s voted against the border fence.... He voted to confirm Chuck Hagel. He voted to confirm John Kerry. He voted to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg. These are the votes of a senator who’s been in Washington so long, he’s forgotten his Mississippi conservative values.”

AP: You criticize Cochran on spending, but the Cochran camp criticizes you for some of the projects you have voted for at the state Capitol.

McDaniel: “In just the last few years, I’ve voted against more than $1 billion in bond bills.... Compare the records. He’s voted for $17.5 trillion in spending, and they claim I’ve voted for about half a billion? It’s not even a

close call.”

AP: You’ve had a couple of different answers about Hurricane Katrina relief.

McDaniel: “I really haven’t.”

AP: What is your position on that?

McDaniel: “Absolutely to disaster relief.... It’s a legitimate function of government that’s supposed to be done.... When you have a bill that’s designed for disaster relief in a region, the money has to reach the intended beneficiaries of that region. You can’t have a region affected, like the Gulf Coast, and then send $55 million to Nevada or $100 million to Maine.... Likewise, we have to make sure there are structural oversights in the plan, or

in the bill, where fraud, waste and abuse are curtailed.”

AP: You voted for the $17 million of tornado relief in the recent special legislative session?

McDaniel: “I did. Absolutely.... It’s a legitimate function of government.”

AP: A lot of top Republicans in this state, including former Gov. Haley Barbour, are supporting Cochran. Barbour says that if you were elected, you would be brand new and wouldn’t do the state much good. What’s your response?

McDaniel: “Well, they’re all brand-new at one point or another, are they not?”

AP: Do you think it would be good for Missis-

sippi to receive less federal money for projects like university research?

McDaniel: “I’m not saying it’s good for any state to necessarily receive less federal money. All of the states are addicted, to some extent, to federal money.... The question is what happens if we don’t curb the abuse?

What happens if we don’t become more fiscally responsible?”

AP: You’ve been criticized for your attendance record in the state Senate this year. How do you respond?

McDaniel: “I think out of 740-plus votes, I only missed 31. And of those 31, almost all were ... nonbinding resolutions. I did my job.”

Nation celebrates Memorial Day Medicaid surge triggers concerns

BY PETE YOST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama led the nation in commemorating Memorial Day, declaring the United States has reached “a pivotal moment” in Afghanistan with the end of war approaching.

Obama, who returned just hours earlier from a surprise visit with U.S. troops at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, paid tribute to those lost in battle there and elsewhere over history. He called them “patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice” for their country.

“Early this morning, I returned from Afghanistan,” Obama told the audience of several thousand people. “Yesterday, I visited with some of our men and women serving there — 7,000 miles from home.

For more than 12 years, men and women like those I met with have borne the burden of our nation’s security. Now, because of their profound sacrifice, because of the progress they have made, we’re at a

pivotal moment.”

“Our troops are coming home. By the end of this year, our war in Afghanistan will finally come to end,” the president said to applause. “And yesterday at Bagram, and here today at Arlington, we pay tribute to the nearly 2,200 American patriots who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan. We will honor them, always.” Obama has said it was likely that a small contingent of U.S. forces would stay behind for counterterrorism missions, as well as to train Afghan security forces.

The president made a fleeting reference to the widening scandal involving reports of poor performance by the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is facing allegations of delayed treatments, and even deaths in Arizona.

“As we’ve been reminded in recent days — we must do more to keep faith with our veterans and their families, and ensure they get the care and benefits and opportunities that they’ve earned and that they deserve,”

said the president.

“These Americans have done their duty,” Obama said. “They ask nothing more than that our country does ours — now and for decades to come,” he added, drawing more applause.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, a retired Army general, was among those attending the ceremony. Lawmakers from both parties have pressed for policy changes and better management at the department.

The Arlington remembrance was duplicated in villages, towns, cities and counties across the country. There was a holiday weekend reunion of some of the last surviving members of the Tuskegee Airmen in upstate New York. More than 3,000 volunteers placed flags at the graves of 120,000 veterans at the Florida National Cemetery. And in Mississippi, the annual Vicksburg Memorial Day parade was being accompanied by a wreath-laying ceremony at Vicksburg National Cemetery.

WASHINGTON — From California to Rhode Island, states are confronting new concerns that their Medicaid costs will rise as a result of the federal health care law.

That’s likely to revive the debate about how federal decisions can saddle states with unanticipated expenses.

Before President Barack Obama’s law expanded Medicaid eligibility, millions of people who were already entitled to its safety-net coverage were not enrolled.

Those same people are now signing up in unexpectedly high numbers, partly because of publicity about getting insured under the law.

For states red or blue, the catch is that they must use more of their own money to cover this particular group.

In California, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s recent budget projected an additional $1.2 bil-

phasing down to a 90 percent share. About half the states have accepted the offer to expand coverage in this way.

But whether or not a state expands Medicaid, all states are on the hook for a significantly bigger share of costs when it comes to people who were Medicaid-eligible under previous law. The federal government’s share for this group averages about 60 percent nationally. In California, it’s about a 50-50 split, so for each previously eligible resident who signs up, the state has to pony up half the cost.

There could be many reasons why people didn’t sign up in the past.

They may have simply been unaware. Some may not have needed coverage. Others see a social stigma attached to the program for those with the lowest incomes.

But now virtually everyone in the country is required to have coverage or risk fines. That’s more motivation to come forward.

lion spending on MediCal, the state’s version of Medicaid, due in part to surging numbers.

State officials say about 300,000 more alreadyeligible Californians are expected to enroll than was estimated last fall.

“Our policy goal is to get people covered, so in that sense it’s a success,” said state legislator Richard Pan, a Democrat who heads the California State Assembly’s health committee. “We are going to have to deal with how to support the success.”

Online exchanges that offer subsidized private insurance are just one part of the health care law’s push to expand coverage. The other part is Medicaid, and it has two components.

First, the law allows states to expand Medicaid eligibility to people with incomes up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line, about $16,100 for an individual. Washington pays the entire cost for that group through 2016, gradually

America’s pastime brings India to the mound The Million Dollar Arm, PG, ****1/2, Jon Hamm, Suraj Sharna, Madhur Mittal, Alan Arkin, Bill Paxton, Lake Bell. Director Craig Gillespie. Walt Disney film.

124 minutes.

“The Million Dollar Arm” is an unusual film and an excellent human interest story. The movie is based on a true story about recruiting two young men from India for a chance at the “Show” as it is described in “Bull Durham.”

JB (Jon Hamm) is a sports agent who has a streak of bad luck. It seems his clients are using other agents, which keep him from receiving the salary he has been accustomed too.

JB has an expensive house in Los Angeles, and he owns the house next door, which is being rented by Brenda (Lake

Bell). She is working in the medical business.

JB is a ladies Terry man, and Burns as one of his friends Movie Critic says, “he goes for models and individuals who are superficial.”

In order to get his career back on track, he travels to India looking for pitchers who can send the baseball to home plate over 80 miles per hour.

Of course, they need to be accurate.

He finds two prospective pitchers while in India. They are Suraj Sharna and Madhur Mittal.

The scenes in India are amazing. The culture and people warm the hearts of the audience. It is obvious the families are very close

to each other. Their customs relate to celebrating life, work ethic, and their religion. The story demonstrates the culture and magnetism of the individuals in other countries, and how we should try to accept others and be kind to those who need protection and encouragement.

Different cultures can live together and recognize that we are not all the same. We view the Taj Mahal along with the way of life in India.

Movies like this are interesting and educational.

I see way too many movies with explosions, over the top action, bad superficial dialogue, cursing, and the list is endless. It is refreshing to watch realistic stories about individuals working hard to reach their goals. Their families are united with an excellent work ethic.

JB has a motley crew

working with him in India. However, it seems they have the observation skills which helps JB find the two individuals he is looking to recruit.

There are a great deal of lessons to be learned in this terrific plot. It is not only about baseball, but about working together and giving people a chance in life.

If we are working or playing, we should be having fun. Our lives should be full of enthusiasm and leadership. We all should work together, whether we are playing ball or working to make a living. Our goals should be to enjoy what we are doing. It not only makes the task fun, but it helps us to complete the job doing the best we can.

Everyone should work together whether we are playing, or working. The point is we should have

fun whatever we are doing.

Popo (Rey Mauluga), who helps JB with Suraj Sharna and Madhur Mittal, goes with JB to a party, and they decide to try the fruit of the vine.

Well, they ended up calling for Ralph in JB’s car.

Of course, that did not go over well with JB. He also lost a client while he was trying to take care of Popo and his clients.

Fortunately, his renter Brenda helped him see what he should have been doing all the time.

The individuals we work with and know need to understand that we care about them as we travel thru life.

Life is much like a roller coaster ride; we have a lot of ups and downs. However, it is imperative that we enjoy every moment.

At one time in life, I wanted to play baseball.

However, I did what so many people do. I let it go, and lived the dream thru my brother and nephew.

How many young boys wanted to play baseball at one time in their life?

I recommend this movie for a good old fashion look at life and baseball.

After a lot of practice these two gentlemen from India could bring home the heat and were accurate. It is a terrific and heart warming story.

Dwelling on bad memories can hold a person back in life Every experience you have creates memories.

Both good and bad events are recorded by your mind. Your memories of the past have an impact on how you deal with today and tomorrow.

Everyone has an inclination to be selective about which memories they recall most often.

Unfortunately, bad memories can get more attention than good ones. This happens when you lament about the past. You fixate on what you could have, should have, or would have done differently.

Focusing on these negative memories taints your perception. There is a tendency to project problems from the past into the future. Because of your previous experience, you develop a fear of reoc-

currence.

So rather than being a learning experience, Bryan your bad Golden memories become Columnist an anchor w h i c h limits your growth and pollutes your future. Bad memories shouldn’t be ignored, but they should be kept in their proper perspective. Just because something bad has happened doesn’t mean it will automatically happen again.

However, some people subconsciously repeat the same behavior that caused problems in the past. This validates their fear of the future. They

will point to the same recurring results as proof that their concerns are valid. This process deeply reinforces bad memories, causing one’s outlook to become habitually negative.

Bad memories from childhood have the ability to haunt you for a lifetime. Your early experiences are significant, especially the bad ones. Escaping the impact of these memories can be a daunting task. These recollections have an uncanny knack of burrowing into the deep recesses of your mind. They then seem to force their way to the surface on a regular basis.

Bad memories are empowered when you chose them over good memories. This decision is one you have control over.

Whether you believe this or not is up to you. If you feel there’s nothing you can do to impact your memory choices, you are enabling bad memories to continually dominate your thinking process.

Bad memories cause bad feelings.

They transport you back to the past, robbing your enjoyment of the present. You feel as if moving forward in life is a real struggle and begin to doubt whether it’s even possible at all.

Bad experiences should be a learning opportunity, not a prison sentence.

You can take control of your brain and consciously decide to start selecting good memories. This process generates positive emotions which in turn shape your reality.

When you feel good, your attitude improves.

A good attitude attracts positive circumstances and people into your life.

This is a proven concept that benefits those who believe in it and utilize it.

Whenever you become fixated on negative memories, try this strategy to shift your awareness to positive ones.

Acknowledge the bad memories as being from the past. As such they have no innate power to infect the present. It’s OK to let them go by cutting them free.

Next, think about positive experiences from your past. Recreate the happy feelings they generated. Immerse yourself in the good memories.

Your outlook will begin to improve as you shift your

mental focus.

Whenever you find yourself selecting bad memories over good ones, repeat the previous steps. This is an ongoing process as bad memories are continuously trying to surface. It takes effort and vigilance, but the resulting improvement in how you feel is well worth it.

You have the ability to pick which memories to focus on, so why not select pleasant ones. It’s not hard to accomplish, you just have to change your habits. There’s no need to keep suffering.

Pfizer pulls plug on push to buy British drugmaker AstraZeneca

BY ALEX VEIGA Associated Press

Pfizer said Monday that it does not intend to make a takeover offer for British drugmaker AstraZeneca, pulling the plug for now on what would have been the largest deal in

the industry’s history.

The announcement came a week after AstraZeneca’s board rejected a $119 billion buyout proposal from Pfizer, the world’s second-biggest drugmaker by revenue.

The decision ends a bid

The Bride of Christ Inspiration has used various figures of speech in picturing the church for us. Each figure emphasizes some special feature. The church emphasizes some special feature. The church is presented as a kingdom to emphasize its government. As a body, its unity is stressed. In this study we will see that the church is portrayed as thc bride of Christ. Several passages teach this concept, and we will look at each of them. (See John 3:28-30; Ephesians 5:22-32; Romans 7: 1-4; 2 Corinthians 11 :2.) Various lessons become clear as we contemplate thc church under this figure.

It is natural, when considering the church as a kingdom, to think of conversion in a way that fits the metaphor: When we become Christians, we become citizens of God’s kingdom. When we think of the church as a family, we instantly think of the new birth. In a similar way, when we think of the church as a bride, we think of the steps in conversion as the process by which we become married to Christ.

The analogy between a literal marriage and the church’s marriage to Christ is remarkable, The convert must first believe in Jesus. Then he must turn in penitence from his old life. Next, he must confess faith in Him. Then comes the act of baptism into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Baptism may be compared to the ceremony which joins a man with a woman and makes them one. The “marriage” of the new Christian to the Lord is not complete until after baptism (Mark 16:16)., Faith alone does not unite the two in matrimony. A confession does not make the marriage complete; the ceremony must be perfomed.

A second truth is taught in Romans 7: 1-6. There Paul insisted that a convert must necessarily be loosed from his former companion before being married to Christ. He made it plain in this passage that the formcr companion was the law of Moses. Christ’s death released us from it. Now it is possible to be married to the One who is raised from the dead, Christ.

This fact is emphasized in other passages as well, including Galations 3:23-24; Colossians 2:14; and Hebrews 10:9-10. Those who try to cling to the law of Moses and to the gospel of the same time are guilty of spiritual adultery.

The third lesson emphasized by this figure is that Christ has but one church. I did not say that in my opinion there ought to be one church; nor did I say that a group meet in conference and decided that having just one church would be better. Rather, the New Testament teaches that Christ has only one church. This is stressed in such passages as Matthew 16: 18 and Ephesians 5:25, in which the singular “church” is used. Various figures of speech also illustrate this fact. The New Testament uses figures which naturally emphasize the fact that Christ has only one church. None of them is any stronger than the one we are now considering, the church as Christ’s bride. Christ condemned polygamy. Did he preach one thing and practice something else? Does He have a plurality of wives?

We now come to the primary lesson emphasized by the figure: the purity of the church. To picture the church as His bride shows the high regard Christ has for His church. He has sanctified it and cleansed it. He is jealous over His bride. He wants to present here to Himself a glorious bride without spot or wrinkle. Christ is coming to receive those who have lived pure lives. His bride will not be made up of unclean and unholy people. This truth should cause each member of the church to determine anew that he will live so that Christ will be pleased to own him when He comes again. (Ephesians 5:23-35).

The bcautiful and significant entity known as the church is the bride of Christ. May we allow this illustration used by the Holy Spirit to give us valuable insights into the importance of the church.

‘X-Men’ dominates holiday Woman’s illness becomes a major box office with $91 million question in budding relationship

BY JESSICA HERNDON AP Film Writer

LOS ANGELES — A team of mutants overpowered one massive mutant monster at the box office during the Memorial Day holiday.

Fox-Marvel’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past” debuted with $91 million beating last weekend’s No. 1 hit, the Warner Bros. scifi adventure “Godzilla,” which earned $31.4 million in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

“Days of Future Past” is estimated to earn nearly $110 million over the four-day extended holiday weekend, which would make it the fifth-highest Memorial Day opener just after last year’s $117 million-grossing “Fast & Furious 6.” ‘‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” holds as the highest Memorial holiday debut ever with $140 million in 2007.

It appears the attention “Days of Future Past” director Bryan Singer has received lately due a sexual assault lawsuit didn’t deter fans from flocking to the theater. The director dropped out of doing any press for the film following the allegations because he didn’t want to divert attention from the movie.

“Rarely do outside situations impact the box office,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “The true fans, all they

care about is the movie.”

“Days of Future Past” is the second-highest opener in the “X-Men” franchise after Brett Ratner’s “XMen: The Last Stand” debuted over Memorial Day weekend with $123 million in 2006.

The film brings together a massive star-studded cast including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Peter Dinklage and Ellen Page.

Globally, “Days of Future Past” opened No. 1 in 119 countries with $262 million, the highest grossing opening weekend worldwide of the “X-Men” franchise and the biggest Fox International opening weekend ever.

“This is a franchise that started back in 2000, which predated the first ‘Spider-Man’ movie by two years so ‘X-Men’ started the renaissance in the world of big superhero movies,” Dergarabedian said.

The Warner Bros. romantic comedy “Blended” debuted at No. 3 with a lackluster $14.2 million. In the movie, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore team up for the third time following “The Wedding Singer” and “50 First Dates.”

Though Sandler’s “Grown Ups 2” grossed $247 million worldwide, his box office success has teetered over the years.

His 2012 comedy “That’s My Boy” earned only $58 million globally, while his 2011 films, “Jack and Jill” and the Jennifer Aniston co-starring “Just Go With It” gained $150 million and $215 million worldwide, respectively.

Universal’s Seth Rogen and Zac Efron-starring lewd comedy “Neighbors” took in $14 million as it crosses the $100 million mark domestically with $114 million overall.

Sony’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” rounds out the top five with $8 million in its fourth weekend, while Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” followed close behind with a solid $7.1 million in its second weekend.

Four comedies populated the top 10 with Fox’s “The Other Woman” landing at No. 7 and Jon Favreau’s “Chef,” at No. 9.

In 2013, Memorial Day weekend was the biggest grossing weekend of the year with $314.2 million over the four-day holiday that saw “Fast & Furious 6,” ‘‘The Hangover Part III” and the animated “Epic” debut.

“This year it will be more like $230 million,” said Dergarabedian, who notes that next year has a shot at being a recordbreaking Memorial weekend due to the debut of Marvel’s “Avengers” sequel “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

D E A R ABBY: I’m a 32-yearold woman who is HIVpositive. My colleague -- who is unAbigail aware of my -- reVan Buren status cently introduced me Dear Abby to a relative of hers who is also lonely and looking for someone to settle down with.

We “clicked” and seem to complement each other in every way, although we haven’t had any sexual encounter.

My fear is, how do I disclose my status without being rejected? He seems to have big plans for us, which include settling down and having kids in the future. I am also worried that he might be angry with my colleague and not believe that she is unaware of my status. Please help me get out of this dilemma. -- IN A SPOT IN SOUTH AFRICA DEAR IN A SPOT: I’ll try, but there are no guarantees. Much depends upon the strength of this man’s feelings for you. It is very important that you have a frank discussion with him before the relationship goes any further.

The fact that you are HIVpositive may be problematic, but it does not mean you cannot have a family together if you wish in the future. Medications and other medical interventions can help keep the virus from being transmitted to your children, and condoms can protect your partner.

If you are upfront about your status, the chances are better that he will believe you when you tell him his relative was not aware that you have HIV when you were introduced. In a case like this, honesty is the best policy.

DEAR ABBY: I have three grown sons, all educated, married and successful. Their wives are the daughters I never had, and I treasure them and their children. I’m blessed with three perfect grandchildren under the age of 5.

The problem is my sons. Although I raised them carefully with love, they are like teenagers. They constantly denigrate and fight with each other, and measure my time with them on a competitive scale. I no longer want to be involved with their bickering. Their dad, from whom I am separated, is not involved.

This has created a sad cloud in my otherwise sunny life. I need some advice. -- TIED IN KNOTS IN INDIANAPOLIS

DEAR TIED IN KNOTS: Have you told your sons how uncomfortable their sibling quibbling makes you? If you haven’t, you should. And if that doesn’t improve the situation, I suggest you see them separately. And if that causes problems, please don’t make it YOUR problem.

DEAR ABBY: Over the past 10 years or so, I have noticed a vast increase in people who talk while they are yawning. These “yawn-talkers” are not only rude, but also almost impossible to understand. I wouldn’t normally care, except that a lot of people do it where I work.

Is it OK to tell them to stop yawn-talking? Or would I be the rude one in the scenario?

-- WIDE AWAKE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR WIDE AWAKE: It wouldn’t be rude to ask someone to repeat the statement because you were unable to understand what the person was trying to say. And, by the way, polite folks cover their mouths when they yawn to avoid spraying saliva on the person in front of them.

Woman worried about son’s home life WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: You’ve printed letters about grandchildren sleeping with the grandparents.

What do you think about a 7-year-old boy who sleeps with his mother in her queen-sized bed, displacing his father? Dad sleeps in his daughter’s room (in twin beds).

This young boy is very strong-willed, as is his mother. She’s quite proud of this trait. I know my son, the father, is not happy with this arrangement, but he says no one will get any rest if they make the boy sleep in his own room. This has been going on since the child was born.

I think my son is depressed and unhappy, but lets the situation continue for many reasons, one of which is that his wife supports the family. My son works part time now because his wife demanded that he be available to take the kids to school and pick them up in the middle of the afternoon. So he hasn’t worked full time for three years.

Their lives are dictated by what the kids want or need, and everybody else comes in a distant second.

The mother is the dominant personality in the family, and whatever she says goes.

My son says this arrangement must go on until both kids are in middle school.

By then, my son will be 41

Annie’s Mailbox years old, and I worry that he won’t be able to find full-time employment. I have suggested counseling and offered to pay for it, but he says he has already tried that and it didn’t do any good. Can you give me some advice? — Worried Grandmother Dear Worried: We know you are concerned about your son, but which parent stays home is between him and his wife. Nonetheless, if he is unhappy, please urge him to seek counseling. He can do it with or without his wife. He also should talk to the children’s pediatrician about the sleeping arrangements and ask for assistance in getting his wife to recognize that she is doing a great disservice to those children.

Dear Annie: Quite frequently during our Sunday church services, the loud noise of a crying baby or babies makes it difficult to hear the sermon and other portions of the worship service. Instead of removing the child from the service, these families remain no matter how long or loud the child screams.

I do not know whether the parents realize how disruptive this is. I’d be glad to politely speak with them after church, but I cannot see who they are from where I sit. The church leadership does nothing for fear of losing members. I just want to hear the word of God and not crying babies. — Frustrated with Noise Dear Frustrated: We are sure some parents would tell you that a crying baby is also a blessing. But there is a time and place for everything. Parents should take their screaming children out of places where they are disruptive and disturbing to others.

Suggest to your church staff that they set up a playroom for young children, perhaps supervised by responsible teenage members or volunteers. Some toys and books would go a long way toward making church a pleasant experience for everyone.

Sports Briefs Red Sox rally past Braves ATLANTA (AP) — David Ortiz homered and drove in four runs as the Boston Red Sox ended their 10-game losing streak, rallying from a five-run deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves 8-6 on Monday.

The defending World Series champions trailed 6-1 after the fourth, with starter Clay Buchholz walking a career-high eight in only three-plus innings.

But Ortiz tied it by hitting a threerun homer off Ervin Santana in the fifth. With Red Sox fans at Turner Field chanting “Papi! Papi!” the World Series MVP then gave Boston the lead with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly off Ian Thomas (1-2) in the seventh.

Following pregame declarations of confidence from manager John Farrell and general manager Ben Cherington, the Red Sox came back to end their worst skid since an 11-game slide in 1994.

Wawrinka numb in French Open PARIS (AP) — The positive vibes and big-deal victories began for Stan Wawrinka at last year’s U.S. Open, back when he still went by “Stanislas,” and picked up steam at this year’s Australian Open, where he earned the right to forever be called “major champion.”

And yet all of that seemed so far away late Monday at the French Open as dusk approached — and defeat became apparent — in Wawrinka’s first Grand Slam match since winning his first major title.

Surprisingly, Wawrinka looked listless. More stunningly, he looked very little like a guy who was seeded No. 3 behind Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and proclaimed himself “one of the favorites” just a few days earlier. In by far the biggest development of the tournament’s first two days, Wawrinka lost in the first round at Roland Garros with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, 6-0 defeat to 41st-ranked Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain. “I was trying to find my game, trying ... to be aggressive, trying to find anything.

And I didn’t,” said Wawrinka, whose trademark one-handed backhanded was off-target throughout. “I was completely flat.”

“I need to put the puzzle back together, but differently than in the past,” Wawrinka said, “because now — after winning a Grand Slam, (Monte Carlo), being No. 3 in the world — everything is different.”

Wilson wins NCAA golf title HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Stanford golfer Cameron Wilson kept his cool after he missed a big putt in the third round of the NCAA tournament.

His positive attitude paid off in a big way. Wilson won the national title when he birdied the third hole of a playoff against Georgia Tech’s Ollie Schniederjans, helping Stanford to the top score in team qualifying on Monday. “I think he was maybe the most overlooked player here,” Cardinal coach Conrad Ray said. “He’s had a great year.

He’s a ball-striker, and if you want to find a ball-striker’s paradise, it’s Prairie Dunes.”

Wilson bogeyed the final hole of his round, leading to the playoff with Schniederjans. But he managed to focus on the bigger picture on the big day. “The sun was setting, the fescue looked green everywhere, there’s (American) flags everywhere and Ollie is a friend,” Wilson said. “I was just thinking it was all really cool.”

Wilson’s winning birdie came at the par-5 17th.

Stanford led team qualifying with a score of 13 under, securing the top seed for Tuesday morning’s matchplay quarterfinals. Alabama and LSU tied for second at 4 under and were the only other teams to break par.

Rangers only one game away MONTREAL (AP) — When other parts of their game are sputtering, the New York Rangers have two key assets to fall back on — penalty killing and goaltending.

It’s a combo that has put them within one victory of their first Stanley Cup final in 20 years.

The Canadiens’ power play went 1 for 8 on a night when the Rangers spent 14½ minutes or almost 22 percent of the game a man short. “Give credit to our killers and our goaltender,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. “They did a real good job.” That is nothing new. Before Subban’s goal, the Rangers had killed off 27 straight penalties. New York is 37 for 39 (95 percent) on the penalty kill in its past 12. The Rangers’ goto forward pairing on the penalty kill is Hagelin and Brian Boyle. Hagelin uses his speed while Boyle’s resume reads “big body, blocks shots, good on faceoffs,” according to Vigneault.

Jackson St. makes NCAAs

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

JACKSON — Three weeks ago, Jackson State’s baseball team stood on the side of the interstate, watching as a fire destroyed its bus.

Now the Tigers (31-23) are headed to the NCAA tournament.

It’s been a crazy May for Jackson State, which was struggling before the team’s bus caught on fire May 5 during a road trip to play Savannah State. No one was injured in the blaze, but nearly all of the team’s equipment was destroyed. Several players also lost a substantial amount of personal items — including

wallets, keys and clothes.

But the Tigers pushed aside the adversity to win the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament one week later. Now they’ll face No. 6 overall seed LouisianaLafayette (53-7) in the NCAA tournament’s opening round Friday.

It’s the second straight year Jackson State has made the NCAA tournament.

The Tigers lost two straight games in last year’s doubleelimination regional but feel they’re better prepared to pull an upset or two this weekend in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Mississippi State (37-22) and San Diego State (42-19)

are the other two teams in the regional.

“We have a lot of older guys — a lot of seniors,” senior catcher Jose Cruz said.

“We’re used to this, so it’s not new. We’ll be adapted to it. We’ve just got to play and we’ve got to win. If they get up and score and the crowd is on their side, we’ve got to respond.”

Cruz said the bus fire helped galvanize the team in early May. The Tigers struggled with high expectations throughout the season, but the fire took some of the pressure off, and the players were simply thankful to be back on the field.

“It’s pretty crazy to think how life can be taken away in a couple quick seconds,” Cruz said.

“It motivated us,” he added.

“All the odds were against us.”

Jackson State had less than a week after the fire to regroup for the SWAC tournament, and the logistics proved challenging. New uniforms and gloves were ordered, while several players and coaches had to get new keys and identification. Schools like Ole Miss and Mississippi State helped by donating some equipment.

Johnson’s title defense is on after win

BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

CONCORD, N.C. — Jimmie Johnson’s run at another Sprint Cup title is on and could bring him a piece of NASCAR history.

Johnson’s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night all but locked him into the new, expanded championship Chase format. If the 38-yearold Johnson pulls it off, it’ll be his seventh series crown to tie the NASCAR mark shared

by Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

NASCAR leaders changed the emphasis in qualifying, putting more of a premium on wins over the steadiness of points racing. That’s led to a flurry of drivers taking the checkered flag — 10 of them through 12 races — all gleefully celebrating their nearassured spot in the 10-race

championship run at the end.

Johnson had been on the outside of that until his record-breaking seventh career win at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He outlasted second-place Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth in third to pick up his fourth victory all-time in NASCAR’s longest race.

“The first goal is to make the Chase,” Johnson said.

“You want to win races at the end of the season.”

Few had done that better when it counts than Johnson. He’s collected 14 Chase victories in his six title runs, including a pair last season that led him to title No. 6. It’s a recipe, combined with the No. 48’s typically solid performance, Johnson was certain would prevail no matter how many outside the race shop raised questions.

“Of course, we want to win

early and often,” Johnson said.

“But we were holding steady in championship points. In my opinion, I don’t believe there will be 16 different winners.

“I felt like a strong championship points position would get us into the first phase of the Chase,” he added. “Granted, tonight simplifies things.”

And gives crew chief Chad Knaus the ability to take a few chances to prepare for the playoffs the rest of the season.

Not that he has to as the team approaches a stretch of tracks where they know success.

Next week comes Dover where Johnson owns a record eight victories, then Pocono where Johnson’s won three times.

When Johnson broke through for his first crown in 2006, he and Knaus used the

formula to add four more in one of the series’ most dominant stretches. After Johnson finished sixth in 2011 and third in 2012, he was back on top last season and moved one step closer to the record with two drivers who were part of NASCAR’s first Hall of Fame class five years ago.

Johnson, who had a Hall of Fame vote as Sprint Cup champion, isn’t thinking much about that yet. The 38-year-old star is eager to build on his dominant showing in Charlotte.

Johnson took his first pole of the season Thursday and was strong in practice Saturday. He led 165 of the 400 laps, proving his strength at the start before settling into the rhythm of NASCAR’s long, long night.

Ga. Tech beats Maryland in ACC title game

BY JOEDY MCCREARY AP Sports Writer

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Georgia Tech had to play its way into the Atlantic Coast Conference baseball tournament.

The Yellow Jackets never played themselves out.

A.J. Murray drove in three runs, and Georgia Tech won its second ACC title in three years, beating Maryland 9-4 on Sunday.

Freshman Connor Justus capped a three-run eighth inning with a two-run single that helped send the ninthseeded Yellow Jackets (3625) to their ninth conference title.

They claimed the ACC’s automatic NCAA tournament berth, matched Clemson for the most titles in league history and became the lowest seed to win the tournament, though this was the first year the field expanded to 10 teams.

“Getting into the championship round’s the hardest thing,” Tech coach Danny Hall said. “So once you get there, if you play well, you’ve got a chance to win. These guys, they played their hearts out the whole week.”

Blake Schmit homered and Anthony Papio drove in two runs for sixth-seeded and Big Ten-bound Maryland (36-21),

a strong candidate to receive its first NCAA tournament invitation since 1971.

“The teams we played this week are as good, if not better, than the teams we’re going to face next weekend in the regional,” Papio said.

Georgia Tech fell behind 4-3 in the sixth before tying it on Mitch Earnest’s sacrifice fly an inning later.

Then, the Yellow Jackets took control with a big eighth.

Daniel Spingola led off with a double to left. Matt Gonzalez bunted him to third, and pitcher Kevin Mooney’s throw to first sailed well into the seats. Spingola scored to make it 5-4 and Gonzalez

moved to second.

Murray then walked and went to second on a wild pitch, and Justus’ single through a drawn-in infield scored them both, making it 7-4.

Gonzalez and Murray added RBI singles in the ninth.

Winning pitcher Jonathan Roberts (1-2) worked a scoreless inning of relief for Georgia Tech, which won the event as the No. 8 seed two years ago — also the last time it was played in Greensboro.

The Yellow Jackets beat Wake Forest in a play-in game Tuesday and went 2-1 in round-robin pool play.

Montgomerie wins Senior PGA Championship Associated Press

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Colin Montgomerie learned something about playing major championship golf at the age of 51 in the Senior PGA Championship at Harbor Shores.

“I learned today to concentrate on me, and possibly I haven’t in the past,” the Scot said Sunday after shooting a

6-under 65 for a four-stroke victory over 64-year-old Tom Watson. “We’re always learning and today I concentrated on my own play and could only worry about myself.”

The victory was first as a senior, his first in seven years and his first in an official event in the United States. He also claimed a senior major in his fifth attempt, something he

didn’t accomplish in 71 majors in his regular tour days.

Montgomerie, whose greatest moments in golf have been in Ryder Cup competition, finished at 13-under 261 for his first victory since he took the 2007 European Open for his 31st European Tour title.

Watson also closed with a 65, and Jay Haas and Bernhard Langer tied for third at

7 under. Haas had a 67, and Langer shot 70.

Montgomerie offered some comic relief on the final hole when he pulled his final approach some 20 yards only to get a bounce off the grandstand. The ball rolled to the middle of the green to set up a tap-in par.

Money woes, declining talent plague HBCU football

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

JACKSON — Years before Jackie Slater was a Hall of Fame offensive lineman, he was playing for Wingfield High School in Jackson, Mississippi, and hoping to attract the attention of college scouts.

This was in the early 1970s — about the time Southeastern Conference football teams were just beginning to recruit black players — so this massive teenager was mostly ignored by the big schools. But Jackson State welcomed him.

“It was where I was wanted,” Slater recalled. “And it’s where I could excel.”

Slater was one of many players who thrived at the nation’s historically black col-

leges and universities, particularly from the ‘60s through the ‘80s. NFL superstars Jerry Rice and Walter Payton were part of that wave.

But HBCUs have slowly turned into an afterthought on the college football landscape.

For the first time in the NFL’s common draft era, which started in 1967, not one player from the Southwestern Athletic Conference or MidEastern Athletic Conference was selected this month. The two conferences combined to produce at least 20 NFL draft picks every year from 1967 to 1976, according to research

by STATS. That output has slowly declined since.

Now storied programs like

Grambling, Southern, Florida A&M and Mississippi Valley State are known more for crumbling facilities, player boycotts and struggles to meet NCAA academic standards than for what happens on the field.

College sports revenue and spending have become increasingly unequal over the past three decades, and HBCUs have hard time keeping up.

The lack of money is especially pronounced for schools in the SWAC, which have yearly athletic budgets as low as Mississippi Valley State’s $3.6 million.

That’s about half the salary coach Nick Saban earns at Alabama, where the school’s

total athletic budget is well over $100 million. Even other Football Championship Subdivision schools have athletic budgets twice as large as many as those at HBCUs. Like his late brother Walter, Eddie Payton played football at Jackson State, where he is now the golf coach.

Payton says bringing HBCUs back to some level of prominence is possible, but it will be difficult. As TV contracts for college football have grown, the bigger schools have been able to pour money into facilities and programs that make it nearly impossible for HBCUs to compete for elite athletes.

justment was breaking in the new gloves — a rigorous and highly personalized task that can sometimes take weeks. He said the team received the new shipment two days before the SWAC tournament.

“We’re all living in a dorm right now, and it was kind of hilarious seeing 25 guys walking around pounding a ball into their glove for two straight days,” Cruz said.

“That’s all we did all day

and all night.”

And then the Tigers, who had just a 9-15 league record during the regular season, blasted through the SWAC tournament with four straight wins.

Now it’s on to Lafayette. Coach Omar Johnson said his team is ready to make the most of the opportunity.

“Without a doubt,” Johnson said. “They’ll be prepared and excited.”

“We fought our way in by winning the game against Wake,” Hall said, “and then (we) went on a great run.”

They took care of the Terrapins in the final ACC game in any sport of their 62-year affiliation with the league.

“There’s really good teams in this league,” Maryland coach John Szefc said. “I’m not saying that we won’t get that in the Big Ten, because I think we will, but ... there are some special baseball programs in this league. ... Any baseball coach will tell you that, and if he didn’t, he’d be lying.”

It also marked their first conference title game since 1976, and they leave the league never having won this tournament.

All three of their con-

ference crowns came before the switch to a tournament format.

Maryland took its only lead in the sixth after loading the bases against Matt Grimes with nobody out.

Papio tied it with an RBI single and Tim Lewis made it 4-3 when he scored from third on Kevin Martir’s doubleplay groundout.

Mooney (1-2) allowed three runs in one inning of relief for the Terps, who suffered a lateinning meltdown for the second straight day.

North Carolina broke a 7-all tie with six runs in the eighth inning of a 13-7 victory over Maryland on Saturday.

“Our bullpen has been pretty good all year, and I can’t knock our bullpen,” Szefc said. “Unfortunately, it wasn’t there today.”

JOHNSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10

Johnson led 10 different times, including a final time with nine laps left when he swept past Kenseth in Turn 4 and was never pressured on his way to the checkered flag. With a race win finally checked off his todo list, Johnson can concentrate on prepping for the 10-race playoffs later on. Under the new format, the playoff field will shrink by four drivers after every three races

so only four will have a shot for the trophy come Homestead in November.

Johnson earned the 11th career Coca-Cola 600 victory for car owner Rick Hendrick, who’s got no doubt Johnson and Knaus are pointed to another big season.

“What they’ve been able to accomplish together, it’s been amazing,” he said.

“I always say I’m just glad I don’t have to race against them.”

Wade looking like the Wade of old

BY TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer

MIAMI — This is why Dwyane Wade rested.

This is why the Miami Heat opted to go without their longtime franchise player for so many nights this season, why teammates hoped their frustrations about playing without him for 28 regular-season games would ultimately be rewarded, why he often seemed more comfortable in a suit than a uniform.

News flash: The regular season didn’t mean all that much to Wade and the Heat.

Everything about the Miami franchise revolves around chasing more titles, and Wade is doing his part. He and the two-time defending NBA champion Heat will take

a 2-1 series lead over the Indiana Pacers into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night, and Wade — who is playing without any significant injury issues at this point of the season for the first time in years — is looking as good as he has in months.

“I’m in the groove and the flow that I want to be in, and also understanding that the game of basketball is tricky,” Wade said. “You can get out of it in a second, and you’ve got to figure out a way still to compete and help your teammates win.”

True, but that groove he’s in is a pretty good one.

Here’s how good he’s been in the fourth quarters of these East finals: Wade has as many field goals in those three final

HBCU

periods — 13 — as any other two players in the series combined to this point. He’s shooting 72 percent in fourth quarters in this series, including a 6-for-7 effort in the last 12 minutes of Game 1 and a 5-for-5 showing in the final period of Game 2.

“We’ve got to make him a little bit more uncomfortable than he is,” Pacers forward David West said. “He’s just playing the game at way too high of a comfort level in terms of we’re just not putting enough pressure on him.

All the guys on the floor need to guard him and get him out of his comfort zone. He’s really lining his shots up, taking his time, which we can’t allow.

“He just can’t be as comfortable as he’s been.”

That sounds like things

opponents were saying about Wade before the summer of 2010, when he helped lure LeBron James and Chris Bosh to Miami and formed the core of a team that is two wins from a fourth straight East title.

But after hearing plenty of talk in recent years that his game isn’t so much declining as it is freefalling, Wade seems to be reveling in the reminders that, yes, he can still be among the elite players in the NBA. The show Wade is putting on is so good right now that James wouldn’t even leave to get some much-needed treatment for a hamstring cramp late in the third quarter of Game 3 until seeing what the 2006 NBA Finals MVP was going to do on Miami’s final possession of the period.

ing has grown more sophisticated, schools from around the country have been taking star football players out of the South, the main talent base for the HBCUs. “It’s not that we’re getting less money — it’s that everybody else is growing while we’ve basically stayed the same,” Payton said. “We haven’t cultivated our fan bases and now the quality has gone down.

It’s going to be hard to get those people back.”

Payton traced the SWAC’s downfall back to the 1980s and 1990s, when programs started playing “Classic” games on the road in places like Chicago and Indianapolis.

Payton said in an effort to

spread the HBCU brand and earn a little extra money, leaders focused too much on the schools’ popular marching bands and the parties surrounding the games instead of the football.

But the lack of money makes it hard to compete on and off the field.

Shoddy facilities at Grambling led to last fall’s player boycott. Mississippi Valley State’s football stadium was deemed so unsafe it was temporarily closed in 2010 and the team had to play at a high school 45 miles away while repairs were made.

Five of the SWAC’s 10 football schools were recently declared ineligible for the NCAA’s postseason after failing to meet requirements for the Aca-

demic Progress Rate.

Schools like Alabama and Texas have sprawling academic facilities with dozens of tutors and advisers committed to helping athletes stay eligible. Athletes at most HBCUs don’t have the same support.

Teams in big conferences fly charters to games while HBCUs still take long interstate bus rides.

HBCUs still attract the biggest crowds at the FCS level. The SWAC has led the division in attendance 35 times in 36 years, drawing more than 12,000 per game last season.

A little extra money for the academic side can help.

Jackson State had APR problems a few years ago, but has recovered in part because of a $900,000 grant from the NCAA. The

funds were part of $4.3 million the NCAA has spread to six schools to help boost APR performance.

SWAC Commissioner Duer Sharp said he hopes it’s the beginning of leaguewide improvement that can start in the classroom and carry over to the field.

“Our goal is to be a progressive Division I conference,” Sharp said.

“Jackson State is a perfect example of how these problems can be turned around.

They worked along with the NCAA, got some grant money and now have improved tremendously.”

“I feel fantastic, really, superb,” he said. “There’s a motto: ‘If you fail and fail, you come back and try again.’ I’ve had a couple of failures here in America and close calls, especially in major championships, and it’s great to finally win, never mind a Champions Tour event, but a Senior PGA Championship event.”

Watson, who later this year will captain the U.S. Ryder Cup team, put a charge in the tournament when he made birdies on the second and fifth holes and started the back nine with consecutive birdies to pull within one shot of the lead. He missed a 4-foot birdie putt at the short par-5 15th hole that

would have put him within one shot again.

“Yeah that was the roadblock right there,” Watson said. “I needed to make four there to keep the pressure on.” He said the birdies in the middle of the round were the key. “I was caught,” he said. “It was between seven or eight players that could actually win there. Those birdies were the key.” Montgomerie will head home to Scotland for a few weeks with a first-place check of $378,000 and his name will go on the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy. The win also netted him a lifetime exemption to the Senior PGA Championship, and 2014 exemptions for the PGA Championship, Senior British Open and U.S. Senior Open.
