County will privatize trash collection BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Trying to overcome a growing deficit in the funding of garbage collection, the Alcorn County Board of Supervisors on Thursday voted to privatize residential garbage collection.
In a special meeting, supervisors approved a contract with Waste Connections at a cost of $5.98 monthly per household. The board had one other proposal from Alabama-based Arrow Disposal Service at a cost of $7.25 monthly per household
or $8.25 monthly if trash carts were supplied to homes. Waste Connections’ proposal does not include carts. The company is set to begin collecting county garbage July 1. It already holds a contract for waste disposal with the county
and manages the transfer station. In negotiations, the company agreed to take the last loads of the day directly to the landfill in Walnut rather than the county transfer station, which will yield further cost savings for the county through
a lower tipping fee. Currently more than $800,000 in the hole on garbage collection, the county is dealing with failing garbage trucks and expects to lose the Please see TRASH | 2A

More photos from the Alcorn Central graduation and the other three local graduations will appear in Sunday’s edition.
With school out, the Corinth School District plans to make some facility upgrades and do some sprucing up during the summer. A briefing on these projects before the district’s board of trustees also included talk of beginning to look toward a new baseball facility. The new softball complex on Proper Street was designed to eventually incorporate baseball. “We have a schematic drawing that shows the placement of the softball field and the baseball field,” said Superintendent Lee Childress. “We don’t have the detailed plans to go to bid with.” The facility already has a locker room for baseball, and weight room equipment has been ordered that will serve for both softball and baseball. The planned upcoming work includes renovation of the Corinth High School restrooms. The district recently solicited bids for the project,
which will include new fixtures and hand-washing stations. A number of the electronic sensors in the stations no longer work. New carpeting is planned for the CHS auditorium, which will require removal of the seats. The auditorium will also see some sound and lighting improvements. The tennis courts will get new fencing, and the light poles will be sandblasted and painted. The district has a new landscaping plan for CHS that will include more monkey grass and less flowers in some areas for a greener, cleaner look, Childress said. The river birch trees will get some cleanup, and some new additions will include green velvet boxwood and some additional oakleaf hydrangeas. Shrubs planted in the parking lot islands that did not grow well will be removed and replaced with pine straw. At the middle school, the Please see UPGRADES | 2A

The Alcorn County Schools Food Service Department has announced details for their 2015 Summer Meals Program. This summer, the food service department will provide breakfast and lunch to the children of Alcorn County at no charge. “In Alcorn School District many students are involved in the free and reduced-price school lunches and breakfasts. When the last bell of the school
year rings, those children do not receive this benefit,” said Food Service Director for Alcorn County Schools Peggie Bundy. “Our summer food service program helps close the gap and ensure that these kids have access to nutritious meals throughout the month of June.” Summer meals will take place at Kossuth Elementary cafeteria and Alcorn Central ElemenPlease see MEALS | 2A
Adam Lyons knows the importance of the Wounded Warrior Project. So does AutoZone. Lyons, a veteran of the United States Army, received a $1,000 donation on behalf of the veterans service organization from AutoZone during a brief ceremony on Wednesday. “It is an honor to be able to do this,” said AutoZone District Manager Terrell Hudson. “We didn’t plan it this way, but
everything fell in place with it being around Memorial Day.” AutoZone districts select a pair of charities to donate to every year. The Wounded Warrior Project and the Carl Perkins Child Abuse Center were the two local charities to benefit this year. Corinth AutoZone Assistant Manager Tim Hamby came up with the idea of donating to Wounded Warrior. “Our company donates a certain amount each year to a charity and since I serve in the National Guard, I thought
Wounded Warrior would be a good one this year,” said Hamby, a First Sergeant with the Army National Guard in Booneville. Lyons, 26, and his wife, Nichole, appreciate the act of kindness. “It’s a rough time when you find out you can’t do what you are used to doing,” said Adam Lyons. “Wounded Warriors helped me through the transition period when I got out of the military and it’s a great orPlease see DONATION | 2A

Regulators move toward nuclear plant license Associated Press
SPRING CITY, Tenn. — Federal regulators have voted to grant an operating license for the Unit 2 reactor at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Watts Bar nuclear plant as long as regulatory requirements are met.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the critical step by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will keep the Watts Bar Unit 2 project on schedule to become the nation’s first new nuclear generating plant of the 21st centu-
ry. The Tennessee Valley Authority has said it plans to complete the reactor by December 2015. The project at the Watts Bar plant near Spring City, Tennessee, will add 1,100 megawatts of electricity, providing enough energy for ap-
proximately 650,000 homes. TVA is the nation’s largest public utility, supplying power to about 9 million people in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

Biloxi stadium to miss target date of June 6 Associated Press
BILOXI — The Biloxi Shuckers’ stadium won’t be ready for what would have been the first home game June 6. Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich said Wednesday the city, the team and Yates Construction are hoping the stadium will be ready before Aug. 4. Tickets for home games went on sale May 13, and
those that have been sold will be honored. Shuckers general manager Buck Rogers said they are like rain checks and will be honored. Printed on the back are instructions for fans to take tickets to the box office to redeem them for another game. Gilich said officials told him it would cost $380,000 extra to open June 6.

ganization.” Lyons, who lives in Kossuth, spent eight years in the Army out of high school. He was wounded numerous times while in Iraq and Afghanistan, including being stabbed twice and blown up three times. “It (Wounded Warrior Project) really does work,” said Nichole Ly-
ons. “It would have been impossible without their help.” John Rhodes, Commander, 66th Troop Command, Mississippi Army National Guard and American Legion Post 6 Commander Tommy Watson were also on hand for the ceremony. “I am tickled to be here,” said Watson. “The American Legion is the
face of veterans around here and it is our responsibly to look for guys who need assistance.” Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a charity and veterans service organization which offers a variety of programs, service and events for wounded veterans of the military actions following the events of September 11, 2001. WWP’s vision is to
“foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history” as it works to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service members, help severely injured service members aid and assist each other and provide unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs.
they offer the advantages of already having a team in place locally and the ability to easily pull backup trucks from surrounding areas if needed. Even with the expected cost savings to the county, the budget is still a concern. The county currently levies 4 mills for sanitation, and it was unclear as numbers were crunched during the meeting if an increase to the maximum allowed 6 mills would fully cover the cost of the contract for residential garbage collection and the existing contract for waste
disposal and management of the transfer station. That is something the county will have to address in the upcoming budget process, Mitchell said. The contract includes a maximum 2 percent consumer price index adjustment annually. The company will offer jobs to the county employees who are involved in garbage collection. Waste Connections will use a smaller truck on secondary roads to help limit deterioration of county roads, and the company will offer an
electronics recycling station free for county residents. The county has an estimated 8,450 households served by garbage collection. The board also received a brief update on the pending bond sale for the Crossroads Regional Park expansion. The preliminary projections are that the sale will yield about $5.5 million. The sale is expected to be complete early next week. Bids for the project are in hand, but the county has not awarded the contract.

inmate labor to man the trucks. The county had bids in hand for new garbage trucks before choosing to privatize. “Right now, this is a better deal for the county,” said Third District Supervisor Tim Mitchell. Board President Lowell Hinton said he believes it will lead to a more professional service for county residents. The inmate labor has sometimes led to complaints.

Local/State Convicted man wins new trial in 2012 death of girlfriend
Today in History Today is Friday, May 29, the 149th day of 2015. There are 216 days left in the year.
Associated Press
Today’s Highlight in History: On May 29, 1765, Patrick Henry denounced the Stamp Act before Virginia’s House of Burgesses.
On this date: In 1790, Rhode Island became the 13th original colony to ratify the United States Constitution. In 1912, the ballet “L’Apres-midi d’un Faune” (The Afternoon of a Faun), with music by Claude Debussy, premiered in Paris with Vaslav Nijinsky dancing the title role. In 1913, the ballet “Le Sacre du printemps” (The Rite of Spring), with music by Igor Stravinsky and choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, had its chaotic world premiere in Paris. The D.H. Lawrence novel “Sons and Lovers” was first published by Duckworth & Co. of London, albeit in an expurgated version. In 1917, the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. In 1932, World War I veterans began arriving in Washington to demand cash bonuses they weren’t scheduled to receive until 1945. In 1943, Norman Rockwell’s portrait of “Rosie the Riveter” appeared on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post. (The model for Rockwell’s Rosie, Mary Doyle Keefe, died in April at age 92.) In 1953, Mount Everest was conquered as Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tensing Norgay of Nepal became the first climbers to reach the summit. In 1961, a couple in Paynesville, West Virginia, became the first recipients of food stamps under a pilot program created by President John F. Kennedy. In 1973, Tom Bradley was elected the first black mayor of Los Angeles, defeating incumbent Sam Yorty. In 1985, 39 people were killed at the European Cup Final in Brussels, Belgium, when rioting broke out and a wall separating British and Italian soccer fans collapsed.
JACKSON — A Mississippi man convicted in 2012 in the death of his girlfriend has won a new trial because a judge failed to conduct a hearing into his arguments of mental disability. The state Court of Appeals, in a 9-1 ruling Tuesday, said a Walthall County judge thought there were enough questions about Robert Wayne Silvia’s competency to order an examination. The trial judge never held a hearing on the results of the examination. Appeals Court Judge Joseph Lee said court rules clearly require a competency hearing be held once a trial court orders a psychiatric evaluation.
Judge Virginia Carlton, in a lone dissent, said Silvia was examined by a doctor but defense attorneys failed to ask for a hearing on the results so the trial judge didn’t hold one. Carlton said there was no error by the trial court. Silvia, now 60, was convicted of murder in Walthall County in the 2010 fatal shooting of his live-in girlfriend at their home in Jayess in Lawrence County. Silvia was sentenced to life in prison. Prosecutors said deputies found Darlene Berthelot’s body in a freezer on June 10, 2010, after responding to a call from her daughter, who lived in Louisiana, asking them to check on her. A medical examiner said Berthelot,

JACKSON — The secretary of state’s office has ordered a Maryland-based organization that finds homes for recovering alcoholics and former drug addicts to stop soliciting donations in Mississippi. Oxford House Inc. is based in a Silver Spring, Maryland. It operates about 15 group homes in Mississippi. The Clarion-Ledger reports that the secretary of state’s office levied a $1,000 fine to Oxford House because it doesn’t qualify for an exemption to registering as charity in the state.
Oxford House said it qualified for an exemption because it didn’t intend to solicit and receive more than $25,000 during any 12-month period. The secretary of state’s office said a review of Internal Revenue Service records show the organization received $440,000 in contributions and grants. Oxford House Attorney Steve Polin said Wednesday said Oxford House and the secretary of state have a different interpretation of the charity law. “We didn’t receive any of the $440,000 from Mississippi,” Polin said. “This was on our fed-
Authorities make 9th arrest in deaths of 2 police officers Associated Press
HATTIESBURG — A ninth person has been arrested in connection with the shooting deaths of two Mississippi police officers who were killed during a traffic stop earlier this month, authorities said. Spokesman Warren Strain with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety said in a statement Wednesday night that 25-year-old Brodrick Kendell Varnado of Hattiesburg was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact of capital murder. No further details about the allegations against Varnado were immediately available. Strain says Varnado was being held in the Forrest County jail awaiting an initial court appearance. It wasn’t clear if Varnado has a lawyer who could comment on the charge.
An eighth suspect, Jimmy “Jimbo” Velton Brady, 22, was arrested in the case on May 15 and charged with possession of a stolen weapon, Strain said. Strain declined to release details of the charge or how it related to the shooting. Brady was being held on $20,000 bond. Strain said the state’s investigation remained ongoing but declined to give further details. Police say 29-year-old Marvin Banks shot Hattiesburg Police Department patrolmen Benjamin Deen and Liquori Tate on May 9 after Deen pulled over a speeding car driven by Banks’ girlfriend. The officers died at a hospital. Banks is being held without bond on two counts of capital murder. He also was charged with grand larceny and possession of a weapon by a felon.

eral taxes. We are looking into this and will work with the secretary of state’s office to try to resolve this issue as expeditious as possible.” Polin said Oxford House submitted a $50 check April 15 for the charity registration, but the secretary of state’s office rejected it. Pamela Weaver, spokeswoman for Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, said the order was the result of “a complaint from the public.” “We won’t have any comment outside what’s in the order,” she said.
Weaver said all charities soliciting donations in Mississippi are required to register with the secretary of state’s charities division, or file for an exemption. Exemptions are allowed for certain solicitations, such as some educational groups, solicitations for individuals or families in need, and for organizations that don’t intend to solicit or receive more than $25,000 in donations in a year. “You can either register as a charity, or register for an exemption, but you must register,” Weaver said. “They had not registered.”
Mississippi teen makes Bee finals Associated Press
OXON HILL, Md. — Dev Jaiswal’s journey to the Scripps National Spelling Bee finals shows just how competitive spelling has become. Dev, 13, of Louisville, Mississippi, made it to the national bee in 2012. In the two years after that, he finished second and third in the Mississippi state bee. This year, he didn’t just win his state. He’s reached the pinnacle. Dev carried the highest score into the semifinal rounds and spelled both of his words correctly to become one of 10 finalists with a chance to win $37,000 in cash and prizes. Dev said he changed up his study routine this year, and he also got a lot of advice from veteran spellers. Even though this was his first time in the semifinals, he’s well-known in the spelling community and has vocal crowd support. “I’m so proud of Dev,” said Jacob Williamson, who finished seventh last year and is cheering on his fellow spellers from the au-

dience. To make the finals, Dev had to spell a word he didn’t know — “naranjilla,” an herb cultivated in northern South America for its edible bright orange fruits. “It’s very exciting, especially when you get a word you’ve never heard of before,” he said. “It’s always scary when that happens.”

Instead, he argues the shooting occurred while he was in a state of hopeless despair and intoxication because Berthelot was going to leave him. Silvia was represented by the Criminal Appeals Clinic at the University of Mississippi School of Law. Since 2002, law school students have represented indigent defendants in criminal appeals before the Mississippi Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. Third-year law students prepare and file briefs and have often argued cases before those courts.

Corinth, Miss.
The season of graduation gifts This is the season of college graduations, and many people may be wondering what kinds of gifts would be most appropriate for young people leaving the world of academia and heading out to face the challenges and opportunities of adulthood in the real world. Given the narrow range of left to far left views of the world on most college campuses, and the vast ignorance of other views, even among graduates Thomas of elite academic institutions, Sowell one valuable gift might be a book giving a different perColumnist spective on the world. The recent publication of “American Contempt for Liberty” a hefty, 417-page collection of columns by economist Walter E. Williams, would be an excellent choice. For many college graduates, this book would be virtually an education in itself, covering many issues and presenting many perspectives they have never encountered before, in this era of academic lockstep thinking on social issues. How often will most college students have seen Social Security exposed as “The National Ponzi scheme,” as one of Professor Williams’ columns does in plain, hard-hitting English? Or see minimum wage laws examined in terms of their actual results, rather than their pious rhetoric? Another book that would open the eyes of most of today’s graduates to a world they have never encountered or conceived is “Life at the Bottom” by Theodore Dalrymple. It shows the actual effects of the welfare state on the way people live their lives. It is not a pretty picture, but inexperienced young people need to become acquainted with realities, after years of hearing high-sounding theories. The fact that “Life at the Bottom” is about low-income whites in England, living lives remarkably similar to the lives of blacks in American ghettos, means that it cannot be dismissed as racism, the way American promoters of the welfare state evade responsibility for the social disasters they have created. Any of a number of blockbuster best sellers by Ann Coulter can provide eye-opening revelations about the economic madness and moral dry rot originating on the political left. Her recently published book, “Adios, America!” is about the heedless rush to solve our immigration problems by simply declaring millions of illegal immigrants to be legal. My own favorite approach to controversial issues, going back to my teaching days, is to confront students with the strongest arguments available on opposite sides of these issues. The point of this approach is not to feed the students prepackaged conclusions, but to force them to seek facts and apply logic, in their own attempts to resolve complex and important controversies. Nor should they be allowed to cop out with some vague pieties about how “the truth lies somewhere in between.” The truth is wherever you find it – and the process of trying to find it is what education should be about, regardless of what conclusions they reach. For those who share this conception of education, one of the best gifts to graduates – or to undergraduates still going through lockstep academia – would be a subscription to publications with opposite viewpoints, to make up for the narrow range of views in our educational institutions today. My suggestion would be to give young people a subscription to both the “New York Times” and “Investor’s Business Daily.” Seeing how the editorial pages of these newspapers clash, day after day on issue after issue, should build up some mental muscles that students seldom get from being mental couch potatoes on politically correct campuses, where one viewpoint fits all.

Prayer for today Lord God, teach me how secret actions make or destroy my life. Show me the deep lines made by sorrow and discontent that cannot be effaced. May I look toward the corrections of life and not on my imperfections, that my life may be a helpful influence. Amen.
A verse to share “And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.” — Mark 15:46
Deadbeat dad not a deadbeat or a dad OXFORD — “Is it working?” That’s an easy question most of the time. Problem is, when lawmakers and regulation writers fix something broken, they rarely ask. They stick to their fix whether it works or not. Consider the predicament of Carnell Alexander. In 1991, Alexander, who lives in Michigan, was pulled over for a traffic violation. When police “ran” his license, an arrest warrant popped up. Nonpayment of child support. Cuffed, taken to jail. Talk about ruining your day. It seems an ex-girlfriend had identified him as the father of her son who was born in 1978. He didn’t think he could be the father, so when he posted bond he decided to find her. She wasn’t at the address in any of the public records, he knew her legal name may have changed and he couldn’t afford a private investigator. He was on his own. Eventually, they met. “Well, no,” she said (or something like that) when he asked if he had a son. The mom confessed that she had become lean of funds and applied for public benefits. The paperwork required that she name the father of her child.
She didn’t mean any harm, but no name, no check. She felt she had no choice. Charlie And she was Mitchell sorry, by the way. PaterColumnist nity tests confirmed that Alexander was not the father. Same fate could await many, many men in Mississippi. Now there are a more twists and turns in the facts of the Michigan case, but we’ve got enough for now. Let’s look at this from the viewpoint of those who decided a mom could not get a check unless the name of a dad was provided. That’s a reasonable rule, isn’t it? Why should taxpayers subsidize clothing, food and housing for a child when a biological parent, perhaps with a fat paycheck, has danced away? Lots of dads do. Welfare rolls could be chopped if more men would be men and meet the obligations that come with parenthood. It was a good fix. If it worked. Back to Alexander. The state insists it tried to serve him with court papers, but
the person paid to provide the summons lied about it. He wasn’t served. (Seems to be a lot of lying in Michigan.) When Alexander did go before a judge, most recently in February, she refused to laugh it all off and send him on his way. Instead, she ruled that because so much time had passed he might have to pay the state $30,000 for aid to a child that is not his, that he didn’t know existed for more than 10 years and is now, what, 37 years old? There’s also some discrepancy in the paperwork; perhaps at one time in some way he did agree to support the child, but likely before the paternity test ruled him out. Slippery slopes leading to nonsensical conclusions are not at all unusual a bureaucracy, any bureaucracy. Explosive program growth is part of this, too. Desires to help lead to programs, programs lead to rules and then the rules need rules. The premise that a child should not go hungry is valid. The premise that parents, if able, must support their own children is valid. Instead, more and more rules are created and less and less efficiency results. No one understands the IRS Code. The document con-
taining the law, rules, regulations and interpretations of federal tax law is 70,000 pages. The average Bible is 900; the U.S. Constitution could easily fit on 12. Social Security kicked off as a required pension plan with contributions returned to retirees. It was never to cost a penny of public funds, but is running deficits of about $77 billion each year. The takeaway, of course, is that in ways large and small good ideas don’t always pan out or, said another way, fail to perform as intended. Some legal scholars now advocate that every new law at every level of governance contain an automatic repeal — forcing a review. Not a bad idea. But Alexander has no time for abstractions. He’s still got that $30,000 debt hanging over him. “I feel like I’m standing in front of a brick wall with nowhere to go,” he said. Regulators may propose mandatory paternity tests going forward, but that adds time, expense, confusion expense and more complications. Another fix to fix the fix of the fix.

Is expensive electricity better? BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside-Sun (Jackson)
Mississippi Power Company is spending millions of dollars to convince ratepayers its $6.2 billion (and growing) plant is a good idea. This will be a good test of the power of advertising. How do you convince ratepayers expensive electricity is better than cheaper electricity? Perhaps they can argue electricity from lignite is cleaner and purer and will make our lights and appliances run better. One full-page ad has several bullet points. The first bullet points is “The Kemper County energy facility was ordered to be built by the Mississippi Public Service Commission ...” Wow! Only a dozen words into the ad and it’s already inaccurate. The Public Service Commission didn’t “order” Kemper to be built. MPC proposed the plant on the grounds that natural gas prices were going to skyrocket. Instead, gas prices dropped like a rock. The next bullet point is accurate: “Mississippi Power customers will not pay one penny more for Kemper than what is approved by the PSC.” Agreed. That’s why it is crucial that Mississippi voters elect anti-Kemper candidates to the PSC in the upcoming elections in July and October. Mississippi Power screwed up both in their

absurd natural gas projections and construction cost estimates. They should pay for Kemper, not us. That means electing Republican Brent Bailey and Democrat Cecil Brown in the central district. And Tom Blanton in the southern district. Blanton is the man who singlehandedly won a $250 million refund for ratepayers taking the case all the way to the Mississippi Supreme Court. Yes, Kemper has been built. But who pays for it is undecided. Ratepayers should not be paying exoritant price for electricity for the next 40 years to fund this science project. The ads talk about all the construction jobs created, but many of those were from out-of-state. Those jobs will be long gone while ratepayers will be stuck with high power bills for decades. Finally, the ad talks about how folks from China think the plant is a swell idea. Who cares? What we want is affordable electricity, not a science project. Here are some real bullet points about Kemper: ■ Without Kemper, ratepayer bills would be dropping because of the low natural gas prices. Instead, Mississippi Power has filed for rate increase after rate increase, using Kemper’s high costs as the reason. This will never end unless pro-consumer commissioners are elected to the Public Service Commission.
■ Kemper was not needed. Mississippi Power already had 20 percent more capacity than their highest peak day. In addition, Mississippi Power can buy electricity over the grid from outside sources cheaper than its own internal production cost. ■ To justify Kemper to the Public Service Commission, Mississippi Power projected natural gas would be $12.50 MCF by 2015. In fact, natural gas prices are $2.60. Mississippi Power’s projections were twice as much as the projections of the United States Energy Information Agency. ■ There are only a handful of coal gasification plants in the world. No one has ever successfully gasified lignite for electricity production. This is a big science experiment on the backs of Mississippi ratepayers who just want affordable electricity. If it works, Mississippi Power gets to pocket 90 percent of the royalties. ■ Kemper is on track to cost at least $7 billion and produce 500 megawatts of power. Meanwhile, over the last three years, Entergy and TVA have purchased four used natural gas plants for an average of $300 million that each produce 50 percent more power than Kemper. That means the cost of Kemper per kilowatt is 30 times more than a used natural gas plant. ■ For the cost of Kemper, Mississippi Power could

have installed solar panels on every rooftop in their service area and cut electric bills in half. Instead, if the cost of Kemper is borne by ratepayers, it will drain a minimum of $200 million a year from Mississippi for the next 40 years. That’s over a thousand dollars per home per year representing at least a 40 percent increase in electricity rates. ■ Mississippi Power has given millions in political donations and lobbying fees to many dozens of Mississippi politicians and influence makers. ■ Not one penny of Kemper has been deemed “prudent” by the Public Service Commission. The commission has the legal right to make Mississippi Power and its parent, the Southern Company, pay for their mistakes. Kemper has been built, but who pays for it is undetermined. ■ The Mississippi Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the Mississippi PSC acted illegally, secretly and without due process protection for consumers. It ordered Mississippi Power to return an average of $1,500 per customer in illegal overcharges. ■ There are two open seats for the three-member Mississippi PSC. The election is this year. Mississippi Power’s candidates must win both seats for the power company to keep control of the PSC. Just one antiKemper win will free ratepayers from Kemper.

Prosecutors indict ex-Speaker Hastert CHICAGO — Federal prosecutors announced bank-related charges against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert on Thursday, accusing the 73-yearold Illinois Republican of structuring the withdrawal of $952,000 in cash in order to evade the requirement that banks report cash transactions over $10,000. He’s also accused of lying to the FBI. Each count of the indictment carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago. From 2010 to 2014, Hastert withdrew a total of approximately $1.7 million in cash from various bank accounts and provided it to a person identified only as Individual A, according to the indictment. In December last year, “Hastert falsely stated that he was keeping the cashâ€? when questioned by the FBI, the prosecutor’s statement says. Hastert, a former high school wrestling coach, was a little known lawmaker from suburban Chicago when chosen to succeed conservative Newt Gingrich. Â
Dock repairs begin on vessel memorial HONOLULU — The National Park Service and the Navy aim to resume taking visitors to the USS Arizona Memorial in a week, after a dock damaged by a
wayward vessel is repaired. Park Service spokeswoman Abby Wines said Thursday that an attachment point between the floating dock and its anchors came loose when a vessel rammed it. She says anchors will need to be reset and chains retightened. The incident occurred Wednesday when the hospital ship USNS Mercy and a civilian tugboat contracted by the Navy were maneuvering in Pearl Harbor. The tugboat or the Mercy hit the dock. The sunken USS Arizona wasn’t damaged. Wines says visitors will be able to enter the memorial at the World War II battleship starting June 4 if repairs go as expected. Â
Companies oppose app regulation push NEW YORK — Representatives of Uber and Lyft warned Thursday that a New York City effort to regulate app-based ride-hailing services will stall innovation and threaten competition. The regulations “will be crushing to our thousands of drivers,� Michael Allegretti, New York head of public policy for San Francisco-based Uber, said at a public hearing of New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission. But commission Chairwoman Meera Joshi said the proposed rules changes are minor adjustments to existing regulations that have been mischaracterized by opponents. She said a requirement that car-service

companies inform the commission of updates to their apps would not mean, as critics have charged, that Uber and the other app-based companies would have to divulge technical information. “It’s not software, it’s not source code or any advanced programming,â€? Joshi said. She said requiring the companies to submit trip data to the commission would not invade passengers’ privacy. Â

Chief Deputy Don Bass said. Frazier thought he saw a stranded motorist, but when he approached the car, two men came out of the dark and jumped him with a box cutter, Bass said. The driver joined the fight. Frazier had a remote control around his neck and as he was being dragged toward the woods, he clicked open the door of his patrol car, releasing Lucas. “He got after somebody real good,� Bass said. As he attacked the men, Lucas chipped some teeth and suffered road rash and other injuries as he was dragged around the pavement. The men fled in a blue Lincoln Town Car with a darker vinyl top. Both Lucas and Frazier are recovering. Bass expects Frazier back at work next week and his K-9 partner in a couple of months. Frazier’s patrol car is one of two K-9 cruisers
equipped with the remote door lock, but it did not have a dashboard camera, Bass said. Â

Texans brace for more flooding Associated Press
HOUSTON — Although the deadly thunderstorms that lashed much of Texas have tapered off, many cities were still in danger of flooding Thursday as heavy rain from earlier in the week poured downstream, swelling rivers. The Houston area got a respite from the rain a day earlier, but runoff from earlier in the week lifted the San Jacinto River above flood stage, and it kept climbing. Nearby residents watched the high water with alarm. “We came back out here today to get a few of our things that we had parked by the road,” said Brian Harmon, who lives in suburban Kingwood. “The water keeps rising and rising. We didn’t want to lose anything else.” Harmon’s home had up to 2 feet of water. Nearby streets had water rushing over them. “It’s very stressful,” he said. “I’m very tired of it.” About 60 miles southwest of Houston, the mayor of Wharton asked residents to voluntarily evacuate about 300 homes because of the predicted rise of the Colorado River. And in the rural Parker County community of Horseshoe Bend, some 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth, officials asked people in 250 homes to flee from the Brazos River. By early Thursday, Parker County Emergency Management spokesman Joel Kertok said
“We came back out here today to get a few of our things that we had parked by the road. The water keeps rising and rising. We didn’t want to lose anything else.” Brian Harmon Suburban Kingwood resident the Brazos had almost crested, but officials had no immediate reports of flooded homes and were monitoring the situation. He said the river, which has a flood level of 21 feet, was at nearly 24 feet. This week’s storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma have left at least 21 people dead and at least 10 others missing. In Miami, President Barack Obama said the flooding should serve as a reminder of the need to make the nation more resilient against natural disasters. He said climate change is affecting both the pace and intensity of storms. “The best scientists in the world are telling us that extreme weather events, like hurricanes, are likely to become more powerful,” Obama said during the first visit of his presidency to the National Hurricane Center. “When you combine stronger storms with rising seas, that’s a recipe for more devastating floods,” he said. In Central Texas, crews continued searching for eight people feared dead after the swollen Blanco
River smashed through Wimberley, a small tourist town between San Antonio and Austin, over the Memorial Day weekend. Authorities there are concerned that more rain forecast for the region could hamper the search. The Hays County emergency management coordinator, Kharley Smith, said more rain could shift debris fields and complicate efforts to find entangled victims. A portion of the San Jacinto on Thursday was at nearly 53 feet, about 4 feet above flood stage, said Kim Jackson, a spokeswoman for the Harris County Flood Control District. Joey Shedd, 23, didn’t plan on evacuating his home in the Moonshine Hill neighborhood along the San Jacinto. Shedd said his home is safe because it stands on stilts, but he expected his parents’ home next door to flood because it’s at ground level. “It hasn’t been this bad since Hurricane Ike,” in 2008, he said. The allterrain vehicle he was using to ride across flooded roads “barely makes it to my house.”
Deaths
Chuck Bayne was among those who decided to follow authorities’ advice and leave his North Texas home in Horseshoe Bend. On Wednesday, Bayne, owner of the Brazos RV Resort, headed to his second home in Arlington. “Everybody on the river is leaving, except you have a couple dozen who aren’t leaving,” he said. “They’re afraid of looters, and some are just plain stubborn.” Farther west, about 20 homes flooded after waters rose at Lake Leon. Fire Chief Darrell Fox said officials had asked for voluntary evacuations of 100 to 150 homes around the lake, which is 100 miles southwest of Fort Worth. In Wharton, the Colorado River is expected to crest at about 45.5 feet, nearly 7 feet above flood stage, by Saturday. “Our main concern was getting residents ahead of the game and giving them notice to voluntarily evacuate,” said Paula Favors, city secretary in Wharton, which has more than 8,800 residents. Other parts of Texas were being inundated Thursday, with flash flooding reported in the Lubbock area. In Houston, 800 to 1,400 homes have already been damaged by the flooding. Thousands of homes were also damaged or destroyed in the Central Texas corridor that includes Wimberley — 744 of them in San Marcos alone.
U.S. officials to ‘fine tune’ Iraq strategy Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Pentagon leaders are trying to “fine tune” U.S. strategy for ousting the Islamic State group from Iraq, focusing on faster and better training and arming of Sunni tribes whose combat role is central to reversing the extremists’ advances, senior U.S. officials said Thursday. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, speaking to reporters while traveling to Asia, said he told senior military officers at the Pentagon this week to come up with ideas to improve training and equipping, particularly of the Sunni tribes who complain that the Shiitedominated government in Baghdad is dragging its heels on helping them. “I can’t describe to you what the possibilities are because folks are looking at them right now,” Carter said. The scramble for answers comes after Islamic State forces, though outnumbered, captured the Anbar province capital of Ramadi as Iraqi
forces fled on May 16. Although the White House says those Iraqi forces were not U.S.-trained, the defeat prompted Carter to make the startlingly frank public assessment last weekend that the Iraqis lacked “the will to fight.” President Barack Obama on Tuesday said it was time for the U.S. to consider whether it was delivering military aid to Iraq efficiently. A Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren, said later that the focus is on fine-tuning the strategy, not rewriting it. The U.S. military strategy in Iraq is built on airstrikes to degrade the Islamic State forces while rebuilding Iraqi security forces to eventually regain the vast swaths of territory in the north and west that were lost over the past 18 months. The current focus is on retaking Ramadi and other parts of predominantly Sunni Anbar province. The Obama administration insists it will assist the Sunnis only
through the Shiite-dominated central government in Baghdad because it wants to foster a multi-sectarian government, rather than directly arm and organize the ethnic tribes for combat. It was unclear whether Carter might recommend scrapping the indirect approach or adjust it in some way in the days ahead, but the tenor of his remarks and comments by other officials suggested that dramatic changes were unlikely. Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff who was a top commander in Iraq during the 2003-11 war, said there may be merit in enlarging the U.S. military role by embedding U.S. advisers with Iraqi forces in the field. But he made clear that this also has drawbacks, and that it would be a judgment call if recommended by the Pentagon. Odierno, who served in command three times in Iraq, said the failure of Iraqi security forces to hold their ground was
We can make it Easier...
“incredibly disappointing to me personally.” But he also said he sees no wisdom in sending substantial U.S. ground combat forces to do the fighting. “I’m adamant about that,” he said. Expending American lives to defeat the extremists without fixing Iraq’s internal political divisions would be a waste and an unsustainable solution. “It always comes back to the government of Iraq,” Odierno said, referring to its inability to unify its Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish populations in a way that would give the country’s security forces confidence and motivation to fight. Washington already has pledged to accelerate the shipment of certain weapons to Baghdad, including AT-4 weapons that could be used to stop armored vehicles that Islamic State fighters have used effectively as suicide bombs. The U.S. also has said it will try to speed up the delivery of airstrikes requested by the Iraqi government.

Politics served with profanity makes dinner hard to swallow D E A R ABBY: My sister-in-law and her livein boyfriend, “Bud,” get together with us for Abigail dinner and Van Buren outings. We enjoy each Dear Abby other’s company, but over the last couple of years he has been making disparaging remarks on the subject of politics. We do not belong to the same political party, and his remarks make our blood boil. Bud knows we belong to the other party, but continues his barrage peppered with profanity. It’s impossible to have an intelligent debate with him before the cursing starts spewing out. A difference of opinion is tolerated, but when it’s laced with profanity it becomes hard to swallow. My husband feels the same way. I would tell Bud to head south as far as he can go, were it not for my sister-in-law’s feelings. (She’s pretty close to my husband.) I thought it better not
to say anything during these dressing-downs, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep my mouth shut without blasting him. How should I handle this? -- READY TO BLOW IN IDAHO DEAR READY TO BLOW: You and your husband should pick up the phone and call your sister-in-law. Tell her that as much as you love her and Bud, the political discussions have gotten out of hand, and therefore, there will be NO MORE discussions about politics when you get together. Period. If Bud starts in, your husband should not take the bait. You are both to say, “We’ll never agree on this, so let’s change the subject.” DEAR ABBY: After 12 years of marriage, my husband and I finally have our first child, a little girl. Yes, I was very happy to have a child on the way, but I was also very depressed. My OB/GYN had to put me on anti-depression medication for it. I felt that only family should know and, while I was pregnant, my husband went along with it. But now, if someone asks
about my pregnancy or jokes about us having a second child, he will tell them he’s not sure because during my pregnancy I was depressed. When I ask him please not to tell people about it, he says, “Why not? You have nothing to be ashamed of.” How can I get him to understand that for me, it’s not about shame but PRIVACY? -- NEW MOM IN LOUISIANA DEAR NEW MOM: While I agree that depression is nothing to be ashamed of, I also agree with you that some things should be kept private -- and your medical history is one of them. Perhaps your husband would understand if you analogize it with a man using Viagra. While he might use the little blue pill with abandon, many men would prefer folks to assume they didn’t need the pharmaceutical assistance. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you feel like you’ve let yourself down recently, but the cause of underperformance may well be a lack of self-love. How could you better appreciate yourself? Give yourself attention because you need it to thrive. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know that area you’re weak in? Well, guess what. You’re not really weak in that area at all -you’re just inexperienced. Get more practice, and you’ll grow rapidly. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your entire being cannot be captured in one snapshot. For this reason, you don’t have to worry about how you’re viewed by others. Most people only see a very small part of you anyhow. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Befriend time. Settle into the belief that everything is happening in the moment that it should. Rushing or pushing, even if you are running late, will not get you where you’re supposed to be any faster.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may feel like you’re being punished, and probably the disciplinarian is a voice inside your head. Try not to think of things in terms of bad or good. So you made a choice that didn’t work. Choose again. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are drawn to objects that help you appreciate time’s natural process. Such objects are records of the sun, wind, rain, temperature and human wear. They remind you of the fragility and the strength inside you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a honed aesthetic. You don’t follow the conventions of good taste, even though you know what those conventions are. The irregularity that happens by chance or accident will be especially beautiful to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You influence the people you believe in, perhaps without even trying to. You know they can accomplish great things, and your belief in them helps to
make this come true. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your acts of caring do not only affect the people and animals close to you. They are part of what brings your whole community closer. You’ll never know how you’ve contributed to the world by making one person happy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Follow through in full confidence. You are capable, efficient and effective. Believe and act on what you believe. You’ll be on sure footing every step of the way. You’ve got this one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The work at hand will help you to develop your identity. So dive in, even if you suspect the job is not a perfect fit for you. You’ll learn about yourself in the process, and that’s what’s important. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is it love or not? To determine this, it might help you to think of love as an action, not a feeling. When you do, it suddenly will be obvious who loves whom.

Today
Slowdown seen Economists anticipate that the U.S. economy shrank by 0.8 percent in the first three months of the year.

Blackened outlook
Coal mining stocks are on shaky ground. The stocks of the nation’s biggest coal producers have been hit hard in recent years and there’s no sign of an imminent turnaround. In a recent report, analyst Nathan Littlewood of Credit Suisse wrote that the appeal of buying these stocks when coal is incredibly cheap has to be weighed against “a dire macro outlook.� Coal has been the dominant fuel for power generation for a century because it is cheap, plentiful, and easy to ship and store. But it emits a host of pollution-forming gases and soot particles, and double
the greenhouse gas emissions of its closest fossil fuel competitor, natural gas. The use of coal is in decline in the U.S. because of weak power demand, cheap natural gas and tighter pollution regulations that are making coal plants more expensive to run. China, already the world’s biggest coal consumer and working hard to increase access to electricity, was thought to be a big future market for coal producers in the U.S. But China too is turning away from coal out of enviromental concerns. Here’s a snapshot look at the decline in market value and outlook for three of the nation’s top coal producers.

Optimism about the job market helped lift U.S. consumer sentiment. The University of Michigan’s sentiment index rose in April to 95.9 from 93 in March, its second-highest level since 2007, the year the Great Recession began.

PICKLES
Dear Annie: Thirty years ago, when I was 11, I got into an argument on the school bus with another kid my age. I was an insecure child, and I was losing the argument and feeling humiliated. In a move to try to regain some power, I called the other kid, who is black, a racial epithet. I immediately felt sick at what I had done, and it is the only time, before or since, that I ever did anything like that. I have thought about that moment hundreds of times over the years and consider it one of my lowest, most shameful decisions. Thinking about it has made me aware of inherent racial biases that I was raised with, and I have actively tried to address these. Recently, through a mutual friend, I became aware that the victim of my words is reachable through social media. My question is: Should I apologize? My apology would be sincere, but would also perhaps be self-serving, as it may only dredge up a terrible memory for him. I so wish I could erase that awful moment, but I am prepared to accept that I just have to live with this disgusting thing. What do you advise? — Trying My Best Dear Trying: Apologize. Maybe it is a
Annie’s Mailbox bit self-serving, but many apologies are — they make us feel better that we tried to make amends. If this dredges up a terrible memory for him, you can rest assured that he hasn’t forgotten the incident, either. An apology could help him close that door. A private message, rather than a public post, would be best. Don’t belabor the issue. Simply say you are sorry, that it has bothered you for 30 years (he may be glad to hear that), and that you want him to know you sincerely regret it. Any communication after that should be up to him. Dear Annie: I’d like to say something about people who disregard their family members who require care. My mother had a heart valve replaced when she was 97. Eighteen months later, she had a stroke and has been in a nursing home since. By the time she uses up all of her savings and is eligible for government assistance,
she will have expended close to $300,000. My family realizes that this is my mother’s money until she dies. We have picked up the remaining costs, including supplemental health insurance, hearing aids, clothing, etc. My mother just turned 100. She can walk with a walker and one person assisting. But I am at the nursing home 12 hours a day to provide the therapy that Medicare doesn’t. The staff here is kind and caring, but they have a limited amount of time, so I help out any way I can. I have seen residents who have no one to visit or keep their interest piqued. They tend to die sooner than patients who have visitors. I hope those uncaring people get the same treatment when they are old. — Pat Dear Pat: There is no question that regular visits, especially those that encourage conversation and exercise, are beneficial for residents of nursing homes and any seniors who live alone. We also know that doing so regularly requires commitment and dedication, and not everyone cares enough to put forth the effort. Your family sounds wonderful. Bless you.

SEC raises basketball profile The Associated Press
DESTIN, Fla. — When Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings first stepped into the meeting room this week in Destin, he immediately noticed four new faces. And one familiar one missing. With longtime Florida coach Billy Donovan leaving college for the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this month, Stallings has become the dean of Southeastern Conference basketball coaches. The elder statesman felt the void at the league’s annual spring meetings. But with new and experienced coaches Rick Barnes, Ben Howland
and Avery Johnson in the room, Stallings also sensed that the league could be better positioned for bigger things. “I think our league is so well positioned going forward that we’re going to see some really incredible things,” Stallings said. “The best of the SEC is getting ready to happen in men’s basketball. We’ve got very proven, good, successful coaches and we have arguably the best program in the country in our league. Obviously some other people can make a similar claim. No many, not very many.” Of course, Stallings was referring to Kentucky. The Wildcats, with coach John Calipari on the sideline and
several NBA lottery picks on the court, went undefeated in the regular season before losing to Wisconsin in the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. Kentucky lost seven players to the NBA draft, but is expected to reload with a few key returners and another stout recruiting class. “The thing we have to do is we don’t need to talk about the coaches,” Calipari said. “We have to talk about the kids and the players and what they are, what they are about.” Maybe, but it all starts with coaches in college. And the SEC filled its four openings with three veterans
and an up-and-comer. Barnes, who reached the NCAA Tournament in 16 of his 17 years at Texas, replaced Donnie Tyndall at Tennessee. Tyndall was fired after one season because of unethical conduct at his former school, Southern Mississippi. Howland, who led UCLA to three straight Final Fours and the Pac-12 regular-season title last season, replaced Rick Ray at Mississippi State. Ray was fired after three losing seasons. And Howland already signed one of the nation’s top recruits in guard Malik Newman. The Jackson, Mississippi, standout chose Please see SEC | 11A

Northeast Mississippi Community College’s football team salutes another excellent crowd at Tiger Stadium during the final home game of the 2014 season.
Tigers hosting four games this fall BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Sports Information
BOONEVILLE — The Northeast Mississippi Community College football team will treat its followers to a stellar lineup of home contests during their 56th campaign. Three of Northeast’s four games inside Tiger Stadium as part of its 2015 schedule are against opponents that were ranked in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) countrywide poll at some point last season. “We embrace the challenge ahead of us,” said Northeast head coach Greg Davis. “We feel very confident because
we’ve got a lot of young men that have worked extremely hard over the last five-to-six months. They’ve dedicated themselves in the classroom and on the field.” The Tigers launch their slate at home for the first time in three years on Thursday, August 27 when Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College comes to town. Davis believes that starting the new campaign in front of a friendly fan base that also accounted for the second largest total attendance in the NJCAA and the top overall figure in the Magnolia State one season ago can only be beneficial for his unit. “That’s really positive for
us,” he said. “It’s a big advantage because the men can get into a routine. They’ll get a chance to experience our great crowds and atmosphere at Northeast.” The Tigers open the month of September with consecutive road tilts at Hinds Community College and Northwest Mississippi Community College. The meeting with the Rangers is the North Division lid lifter for both squads. Northeast hosts defending national champion East Mississippi Community College on Thursday, September 17 and then reaches the midway point of the year by traveling to Coahoma Community College.
Homecoming activities take over Booneville and culminate on Thursday, October 3 versus Mississippi Delta Community College. It is the initial occasion since 2009 that these festivities will be held on a weeknight. Itawamba Community College makes the short ride to tangle with the Tigers on Thursday, October 10. The yearly rivalry game serves as the final contest of the season on the Northeast campus as well. The Tigers visit Pearl River Community College and Holmes Community College for back-to-back Saturday afternoon dates to conclude the campaign.
Cavaliers and Warriors rest before Finals The Associated Press
Golden State coach Steve Kerr was chatting with assistant Luke Walton a few minutes before what became the Warriors’ clinching victory in the Western Conference Finals, and a realization popped into his head. “You know what we do now?” Kerr asked, somewhat rhetorically. “We wait.”
Now, we all wait. The NBA Finals won’t start until June 4, meaning both the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Warriors will have more than a full week to rest, recover, scout and plan for Game 1 of the title matchup. It’s the same sort of break that Golden State had to deal with between the first and second rounds, and for Cleveland,
these mini-vacations are now the norm — the Cavs also had layoffs of about a week following their wins in each of their opening two series. So both teams were off Thursday. At the Cavaliers’ complex in Independence, Ohio, some players arrived for treatment, but nary a basketball was bouncing in the facility — that
resumes on Friday. The Warriors planned to also take the day and revel in a five-game ousting of the Houston Rockets in the West title series. Kerr said after the West finals that he had not given any thought to Cleveland. “There’s plenty of time to get to Cleveland,” Kerr said. Please see FINALS | 11A
LSU tops Auburn in Women’s College World Series The Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY — Bianka Bell and Kellsi Kloss hit home runs to help LSU beat Auburn 6-1 on Thursday in the Women’s College World Series. Bell, a first-team All-American, homered in the top of the first inning. She wasn’t swinging for the fence. “With two outs, I was just trying to get on base, find my way on and just hope some-
one can score me in,” she said. “I guess I just got all of the ball, and it went out.” LSU scored four runs in the third, highlighted by Kloss’ two-run shot. “I wasn’t trying to do anything too big,” Kloss said. “I was just trying to make an adjustment for my last at-bat and try to get a little more on top of the ball. And I put a good swing on it. And I stayed inside it enough to hit the
pole.” Emily Griggs had three hits and Constance Quinn added two for fifth-seeded LSU (5112). The Tigers will play defending champion Florida on Friday in a winners’ bracket game. Florida opened with a 7-2 victory over Tennessee. Auburn (54-10) will play Tennessee on Saturday in an elimination game. Auburn had won eight in a row since losing to LSU in
its regular-season finale, including three wins to claim the Southeastern Conference tournament title. The Tigers had scored at least four runs in all but one of those victories. Carley Hoover pitched a complete game and threw just 78 pitches for LSU. She allowed six hits and struck out five to improve to 18-5. Please see SERIES | 11A

the Bulldogs over Kentucky. Johnson, who spent more than two decades playing and coaching in the NBA and led the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals in 2006, replaced Anthony Grant at Alabama. Grant was fired after six seasons, the last one an 18-14 campaign that was filled with injuries. Florida went in a different direction, hiring little-known Mike White from Louisiana Tech. White has never been to the NCAA Tournament or played in the NBA, but he’s widely considered a rising star in the college ranks. “Those guys will do great things for the league,” Stallings said. The SEC has spent the last three years working to improve its men’s basketball profile. Commissioner Mike Slive mandated better non-
conference scheduling in hopes of getting more teams in the NCAA Tournament, and the results are starting to show. The SEC sent five teams to the tournament last season, with Kentucky getting to the Final Four. The football powerhouse went 12-3 in the tournament in 2014 and had two teams advance to the Final Four. Now, the league has four new coaches eager to raise the bar. “Ben Howland went to three consecutive Final Fours at UCLA. Rick Barnes is a guy who’s had incredible amount of success. Avery Johnson has been an NBA champion as a player, has coached in an NBA final, so he brings a different perspective,” Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy said. “So the strength of our league, as it relates to the people that are in that room, I think it will increase the profile of basketball in the SEC.”

Not that’s necessarily a good thing. It’s unprecedented in league history for both conference champions to be sitting around for so long before the NBA Finals. There’s instances of one Finals-bound team having longer breaks, but not both in the same year. There has been socalled “move-up dates” for The Finals in the past, but no more. “We decided a few years ago that it was important to lock in a start date given the global nature of the NBA, with TV and digital partners and 215 countries and territories airing the games,” league spokesman Michael Wade said Thursday. “While it’s rare for our teams to have a week off prior to The Finals, the time allows for both teams to rest up and get healthy.” And just about everyone needs the rest. Start with LeBron James, who has made playing through aches and pains at this time of year an annual occurrence. The athletic trainer who has worked in tandem with him for years, Mike Mancias, is basically around James
more than anyone else as the playoffs go deeper, tending to whatever is ailing the four-time MVP. “I will, as a leader, have our guys ready,” James said. Cleveland guard Kyrie Irving has been playing through pain in both legs, and this break will determine basically if he reverts to his usual form or if he’ll still be limping his way through the finals. Golden State’s Klay Thompson developed concussion-like symptoms after the conclusion of the West finals, so the time off will surely be welcomed there as he works his way back through the league’s protocols for such matters. And Andre Iguodala was shaken up late in Game 5 against Houston, so he also can use a little extra rest. Golden State guard and the league’s reigning MVP Stephen Curry took a nasty spill against Houston and was playing with a sleeve to protect his elbow in the clincher. “We’ve got to take a week off to get ready,” Curry said, “and get our minds right and our game plan right for how we’re going to beat Cleveland.”
SERIES CONTINUED FROM 10A
“I think the bigger the game, the better she pitches,” LSU coach Beth Torina said. “From what we know about her this year, she wants the ball in these situations, and she truly thrives in them. So it’s a lot of fun having somebody like her on our team and having somebody you know can perform under pressure. I think that’s the whole key to this is being able to get it done when the lights are on.” Auburn, in its first World Series appearance, didn’t score until the fifth. Morgan Estell had two hits for the
fourth-seeded Tigers. The team’s pair of firstteam All-Americans, Emily Carosone and Kasey Cooper, went a combined 1 for 6. Marcy Harper started and got the loss for Auburn. Rachael Walters pitched 4 1-3 innings of relief and gave up just one run on four hits. Auburn coach Clint Myers said he still feels good about his team. “We’re still in this,” he said. “We talked about it as a team. We played a very good LSU team. The difference as I see it is that with two outs, they got key hits and we had opportunities.”

Bulls fire Thibodeau, cite lack of trust The Associated Press
CHICAGO — In five seasons under Tom Thibodeau, the Chicago Bulls soared to heights they had not reached since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were collecting championships. They never got to the top with him and now he is out. The Bulls fired Thibodeau on Thursday, parting ways with the strong-willed coach who took the team to the playoffs in each of his five seasons only to have his success overshadowed by his strained relationship with the front office. “It is our strong belief that there needs to be a culture of communication that builds a trust throughout this organization from the players to the coaches to the management and to the front office, a culture where everyone is pulling in the same direction,” general manager Gar Forman said. “When that culture is sacrificed, it becomes extremely difficult to evolve and to grow.”
Thibodeau went 255139, a .647 winning percentage that ranks seventh in NBA history among coaches with at least 200 games. He led the Bulls to the top seed in the playoffs his first two seasons and was the NBA’s Coach of the Year in 2011, the same year Derrick Rose became the league’s youngest MVP. He thanked Chicago fans, his players, staff and their families “who have honored me and the Bulls by their effort, love, dedication and professionalism.” “We are proud of our many accomplishments, fought through adversity, and tried to give our fans the full commitment to excellence they deserve,” Thibodeau said in a statement. “I love this game and am excited about what’s ahead for me with USA Basketball and the next coaching opportunity in the NBA.” Chicago advanced to the Eastern Conference finals that season, but it’s the only time the Bulls made it past the second round
under Thibodeau, who had two years left on his contract. Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, who has not returned to work fulltime following open heart surgery in April, is widely viewed as a top candidate to replace him. The move comes two weeks after the Bulls were eliminated by Cleveland with a listless effort in Game 6 of the East semifinals that came on the heels of an injury-filled 50-win season. Forman said the Bulls spent the past week or so conducting exit interviews with players and organizational meetings. He insisted management was not holding out for compensation for Thibodeau and would have granted teams permission to talk to him had had they asked — but none did. Either way, the gulf between the coach and his bosses was too large to bridge. Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf made that clear in a long, scathing statement that said the organization
has succeeded in part because of “a willingness to participate in a free flow of information” and that “internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private.” “Teams that consistently perform at the highest levels are able to come together and be unified across the organization — staff, players, coaches, management and ownership,” Reinsdorf said. “When everyone is on the same page, trust develops and teams can grow and succeed together. Unfortunately, there has been a departure from this culture. To ensure that the Chicago Bulls can continue to grow and succeed, we have decided that a change in the head coaching position is required.” Vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said: “You should be able to push the envelope in terms of anything in order to have some success. That’s what relationships should be about. Obviously, there was a breakdown.”
United States to vote for Jordan’s Ali in upcoming FIFA election The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The United States says it will vote for Jordan’s Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein for FIFA president Friday and not for incumbent Sepp Blatter. “I’ve gotten to know Prince Ali well over the last couple of years. He has been a really active member of the executive committee and an active pro-
ponent of reform at FIFA,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said during a telephone conference call early Friday from FIFA’s meetings in Zurich. “If you get good governance and good leadership, you make good decisions, and those good decisions will lead to the right outcomes,” Gulati said, “whether it’s where
World Cups are played or how many teams are in World Cups or anything else. So for us, this is a vote for good governance.” Gulati, a member of FIFA’s executive committee, said Canadian Soccer Association President Victor Montagliani told him Canada will vote for Ali. Football Federation Australia Chairman
Frank Lowy announced he planned to vote for Ali, and Michel Platini, president of the Union of European Football Associations, estimated at least 45 UEFA members may vote for Ali. FIFA has 209 member federations that will cast secret written ballots. A two-thirds majority is needed for election on the
first ballot and a simple majority on succeeding ballots. “I think you’ll see a lot closer vote tomorrow than people would have projected some weeks ago,” Gulati predicted. Elected in 1998, Blatter is seeking a fifth term. His reign has been plagued by corruption among top soccer officials, but he has not
been implicated. The U.S. government indicted nine soccer officials on corruption charges Wednesday, including the current and past presidents of the regional governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean. Seven men were arrested by Swiss authorities at a luxury hotel in Zurich.

End of school year can be bittersweet for teachers Some may think that teachers can hardly wait until the end of a school year. S u m mertime for many teachers translates into vac a t i o n s, Stacy sleeping Jones late, eatThe ing at the Dowtowner time one desires, going to the bathroom when necessary -- a leisure educators don’t often get during the school day, and generally doing what one pleases. I won’t deny that I enjoy all of the above liberties afforded by those two months off of the time clock, but there’s a sadness, a wistfulness, that accompanies the end of the school year for me. As I turn the lights out and shut the door on my silent, empty classroom that last day of school, I
always think about the faces I will not see in my classroom again, the voices I will never again hear in that room. Perhaps my sentiment is amplified by the fact that in the spring, when school is finished for the year, I have three classes of seniors, all of whom (hopefully) graduate each year and go on to forge their postsecondary experiences. Perhaps the feeling also stems from the deviation from routine, from a perpetual state of being busy. For many teachers, the school day does not end at 3 p.m. It continues well into the evening. There are papers to grade -- especially for English teachers like me -- and lesson plans and activities to be created. Added to those job requirements, I generally teach one or two college English classes in the evening each semester, so one to two days a week verge on 14-hour
days for me, with a few breaks in between. Of course, I also volunteer at the local playhouse, and I write a weekly newspaper column, so certain times of the year, I barely do anything except work and sleep. For the past two summers, I have had little leisure time, as I worked for the Tennessee state department of education as a Core Coach. A group of colleagues and I spent a week being trained on how to help fellow Tennessee teachers mold their instruction to fit a new set of academic standards, followed by three weeks actually training other teachers. This summer I am not coaching but recently received a year-long fellowship from TNScore.org, a state collaborative that works to reform education and seeks out educators to travel, speak, and write as liaisons between colleagues, communities,
policymakers, and advocates to help reform education, a position that will commence later this summer. Nevertheless, that shift from routine takes some time to adjust. For several months, I saw the same group of students every single day of the week. Although there are particular students who don’t complete their work or turn it in (a teacher’s greatest source of stress) and students about whom every teacher complains privately to each other, for the most part, a teacher’s classroom becomes like a family for that year or semester that teacher spends with them. When they’re gone, you miss the rapport you built with them. You miss the funny moments, the jokes you shared. Near the end of the year, for instance, you attend the senior banquet, and the photographer, one of your students, makes
a photo of you wearing some silly glasses. You don’t think to tell him not to post it on Facebook, but he does anyway, and the two of you laugh about it later. You miss celebrating your students’ successes. You even miss providing a listening ear as an armchair psychologist to students who sometimes bring to school more problematic life situations than you could have ever imagined. Of course, you enjoy seeing them walk across that stage and receive their high school diplomas, the culmination of all of the work they have done since they started school. After all, it has to come to this moment; else, what would be the point? Life is about growth and change, and change is the only constant. As they graduate, you enjoy seeing those students wear their gradu-
ation regalia; you enjoy seeing them move their tassels from right to left and then toss those mortarboard caps in the air with great abandon. As they disperse, you know that some of them you will never see again. When you do see certain ones again, months or years later, sometimes the names blur -- especially when you see them at Walmart and panic because you cannot recall how to address them -but you always remember the faces. Whether you see them in town or on your Facebook news feed, you will always remember them as your students, no matter how old they grow.

Baltimore gets bloodier as arrests drop post-Freddie Gray The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimore’s 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the city’s deadliest in 15 years. The most recent killings claimed the lives of Jennifer Jeffrey and her sevenyear-old son, Kester Anthony Browne. They were identified by Jeffrey’s sister, Danielle Wilder. Jeffrey and her son were found dead early Thursday, each from gunshot wounds to the head. As family members cried and held each other on the quiet, leafy block in Southwest Baltimore where they lived, Wilder said she felt as if “my heart has been ripped out.�
Wilder said a neighbor called their other sister early Thursday, concerned that she hadn’t hear any noise coming from Jeffrey’s house: no footsteps, Wilder said, no voices, and no gunshots. But when her brother let himself into the house to check on the mother and son, he discovered their bodies. “She was in the living room,� Wilder said. “The baby was upstairs, in the bed.� Wilder said police told her there were no signs of forced entry, and that whoever killed Jeffrey and Browne were let into the house sometime yesterday. Wilder said she thinks whoever killed Jeffrey, who also lived with her niece and grandniece, wanted to catch her alone, and that the boy
was collateral damage. Thursday’s deaths continue a grisly and dramatic uptick in murders across Baltimore that has so far claimed the lives of 38 people. Meanwhile, arrests have plunged: Police are booking fewer than half the number of people they pulled off the streets last year. Arrests were already declining before Freddie Gray died on April 19 of injuries he suffered in police custody, but they dropped sharply thereafter, as his death unleashed protests, riots, the criminal indictment of six officers and a fullon civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department that has officers working under close scrutiny. “I’m afraid to go outside,� said Antoinette Per-

rine, whose brother was shot down three weeks ago on a basketball court near her home in the Harlem Park neighborhood of West Baltimore. Ever since, she has barricaded her door and added metal slabs inside her windows to deflect gunfire. “It’s so bad, people are afraid to let their kids outside,� Perrine said. “People wake up with shots through their windows. Police used to sit on every corner, on the top of the block. These days? They’re nowhere.� West Baltimore residents worry they’ve been abandoned by the officers they once accused of harassing them, leaving some neighborhoods like the Wild West without a lawman around. “Before it was overpolicing. Now there’s no police,� said Donnail “Dreads� Lee, 34, who lives in the Gilmor Homes, the public housing complex where Gray, 25, was chased down. “People feel as though they can do things and get away with it. I see people walking with guns almost every single day, because they know the police aren’t pulling them up like they used to.� Police Commissioner
Anthony Batts said his officers “are not holding back,� despite encountering dangerous hostility in the Western District. “Our officers tell me that when officers pull up, they have 30 to 50 people surrounding them at any time,� Batts said. Batts provided more details at a City Council meeting Wednesday night, saying officers now fear getting arrested for making mistakes. “What is happening, there is a lot of levels of confusion in the police organization. There are people who have pain, there are people who are hurt, there are people who are frustrated, there are people who are angry,� Batts said. “There are people, and they’ve said this to me, ‘If I get out of my car and make a stop for a reasonable suspicion that leads to probable cause but I make a mistake on it, will I be arrested?’ They pull up to a scene and another officer has done something that they don’t know, it may be illegal, will they be arrested for it? Those are things they are asking.� The Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 on Thursday posted a statement from President

Gene Ryan on social media saying that the police are “under siege.� “The criminals are taking advantage of the situation in Baltimore since the unrest,� Ryan wrote. “(Police) are more afraid of going to jail for doing their jobs properly than they are of getting shot on duty.� Protesters said Gray’s death is emblematic of a pattern of police violence and brutality against impoverished AfricanAmericans in Baltimore. In October, Batts and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake invited the Justice Department to participate in a collaborative review of police policies. The fallout from Gray’s death prompted the mayor to ramp that up, and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch agreed to a more intensive probe into whether the department employs discriminatory policing, excessive force and unconstitutional searches and arrests. Baltimore was seeing a slight rise in homicides this year even before Gray’s death April 19. But the 38 homicides so far in May is a major spike, after 22 in April, 15 in March, 13 in February and 23 in January. With one weekend still to go, May 2015 is already the deadliest month in 15 years, surpassing the November 1999 total of 36. Ten of May’s homicides happened in the Western District, which has had as many homicides in the first five months of this year as it did all of last year. Non-fatal shootings are spiking as well — 91 so far in May, 58 of them in the Western District. The mayor said her office is “examining� the relationship between the homicide spike and the dwindling arrest rate. Even before Gray’s death, police were making between 25 and 28 percent fewer arrests each month than they made in the same month last year. But so far in May, arrests are down roughly 56 percent. Police booked just 1,045 people in the first 19 days of May, an average of 55 a day. In the same time period last year, police arrested 2,396 people, an average of 126 a day. At a news conference Wednesday, RawlingsBlake said there are “a lot of reasons why we’re having a surge in violence.� “Other cities that have experienced police officers accused or indicted of crimes, there’s a lot of distrust and a community breakdown,� RawlingsBlake said. “The result is routinely increased violence.�

Piper’s book helped change view of death Recently I read about the controversy over the books about life after death, such as one little boy’s story in “Heaven is for Real” and others. One book in particular was pulled from the book store shelves because the teenage boy it was about confessed that he had made up the story to get attention. As a result of his escapade, I understand that other books have been pulled because they might lead people to the wrong conclusions about Heaven. Some Christian book stores have also pulled books like “90 Minutes in Heaven” by Don Piper. The book has reportedly sold 6.5 million copies and has been published in 46 languages, and some of the spiritual book sellers think it and others present maybe a slanted view of Heaven that might not be real and might lead people to wrong conclusions. I read Piper’s book several years ago, and I must say his testimony helped to change my view of death and the whole process. As he described what he saw after his horrific auto accident, the light came on in my mind about what we have hoped for all of our lives. In his book Mr. Piper explains what he saw at the gate of Heaven, who he saw and what he heard. He describes the bodies and faces of a former best friend, his grandparents, and many others who had helped show him the way to Jesus. They were there to welcome him into Heaven in the midst of glorious music and wonderful light. Then, after ninety minutes, as a man in the mangled car and his church family at home began to pray for him, Don began to physically breathe again and was brought back to his pain and suffering from the accident. The ordeal was long and painful with numerous surgeries and months of hospitalization, and for a long time he was angry that he was brought back and also was determined not to tell his story because people wouldn’t believe it anyway. After finally sharing his experience with a close friend,
Wednesday night services will be held at 7 p.m.
Don was convinced to tell others because the story might encourage those who Lora Ann were grieving Huff over lost loved ones. Back Porch Piper’s testimony is now on video and he also travels across the country sharing in churches, reaching out to people to give them real hope that God is genuine and His love will carry them through, finally bringing them to this beautiful place that’s real and wonderful – if they will accept the Jesus of the Bible as their Savior. His story about the joyfulness at the gate of Heaven reminds me of a story I read years ago in which a lady told of her dream about her deceased mother. She dreamed her mother was coming toward her with arms open wide, a big smile and an erect body. As her mother came down a hill toward her, the mother’s body bent over and her step became unsure like it had been before she passed away. She hugged the daughter and then turned to go back. As she reached the top of the hill, her body straightened and she began to run, which showed the daughter she was well and happy in a wonderful place without earth’s physical pain and handicaps. The writer said she no longer grieved for her mother but rejoiced for her victory. …So there is hope and I believe there is life after this one here. I know there are folks who will take advantage of our vulnerabilities and try to make money off of them, but I also believe there are people who have legitimate stories that can reach others and show them the way to God. I believe Don Piper is one of them and I would recommend his books whether the “Christian” book store sells them or not.

Is your glass half empty or half full? My wife tells me I am too much of an optimist and she may be right but I am a person that believes anything Gary is possible unAndrews til I am proven wrong. My favorDevotionals ite verse in the Bible is Philippians 4:13 and I believe it with all of my heart and soul. It says, “I can do all things through Christ, which strengthened me.” Being in sales all of my adult life I learned the value of looking at situations and problems with an attitude of it can be done or it can be solved. Early in my career I learned the technique of assumptive selling. I believed that everyone had bought what I was selling until they told me no and believe me, I have received many no’s in my life. Even with the no’s I continued to believe that someway, someday, I would be able to convince this client that I have a good product and would overcome their objections. One of my favorite books in the Old Testament is Job. Here is God’s man put to the test by Satan with God’s approval. With all that Satan does to Job and his family, despite all of the criticism given to him by his wife and friends, Job’s faith never wavered in his mighty God. In the Holman Christian Standard Bible in Job 9:25 we realize that
(Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday – Genesis 31:17-29; Monday – Romans 4:16-25; Tuesday – Malachi 4:1-6; Wednesday – Ecclesiastes 4:1-3; Thursday – Psalm 73:1-28; Friday – Hebrews 11:11-12; Saturday – Amos 5:18-27.) Job seems to have some pessimism but never does he give up. This verse reads, “My days fly by faster than a runner; they flee without seeing any good.” How many of us in today’s society think the same thing as Job was thinking concerning our problems of today? How many of us have the faith in our God, which is the same God as Job’s, to see us through our tribulations and bring us to the point where He wants us to be. Many of us are self-centered, egotistical, or lack confidence in our Lord that He will see us through any situation that comes before us. I recall hearing many of my friends and co-workers say they couldn’t make a sale or do a certain project because they were afraid or lacked proper preparation for the task involved. They were seeing their glass as half empty because they though all of the positive features were gone from the situation. They were seeing the negative side and not
trying to visualize the good side. Don’t many of us in this modern day time do the same thing? Aren’t we always trying to see the bad before bringing out the good? Are we a people that are afraid of risks, which make us prone to failure? Job was a very wealthy man with a tremendous family. God told Satan he could do anything he wanted with Job and his surroundings but he could not take his life. Job was God’s servant and even though he lost everything he had, he never looked at his glass being half empty because he knew who his Lord and Master was. Because of his rejection to denounce God before Satan, God restored Job to his good life. God will do the same for us if we will not turn our backs on Him. Whether you think you glass is half empty or full doesn’t really matter as long as God is in control of your life. However, looking at your glass being half full makes a day look much brighter! Prayer: Almighty Father, thank you for your love and your mercy. I know that anything I have or will ever have comes from you. I give you praise for my life and pray that you will lead me in the direction that you want me to go. Amen.

Catholic church frequently dances with science The Associated Press
From Galileo to genetics, the Roman Catholic Church has danced with science, sometimes in a hightension tango but more often in a supportive waltz. Pope Francis is about to introduce a new twist: global warming. The field of genetics was started by a Catholic cleric, Gregor Mendel. Entire aspects of astronomy, including the genesis of the Big Bang theory, began with members of the Catholic clergy. While some religions reject evolution, Catholicism has said for 65 years that it fits with the story of creation. But when lay people think of the church and science, one thing usually comes to mind: The prosecution of Galileo Galilei for heresy be-
cause he insisted that the Earth circled the sun and not the other way around. The Catholic Church “has got an uneven and not always congenial relationship with science,” said science historian John Heilbron, who wrote a biography of Galileo. But after ticking off some of the advances in science that the church sponsored, the retired University of California Berkeley professor emeritus added, “probably on balance, the Catholic Church’s exchange with what we call science is pretty good.” The Catholic Church teaches that science and faith are not contradictory and even work well together. After lukewarm opposition to the theory of evolution in the late 19th century, the church has
embraced that field of science that other faiths do not. There are remaining clashes about the ethics of scientific and medical practices — such as abortion and using stems cells from embryos — but that’s more about morality than reality of science. “The Big Bang, which nowadays is posited as the origin of the world, does not contradict the divine act of creating, but rather requires it,” Pope Francis said last October, echoing comments made by his predecessors. “The evolution of nature does not contrast with the notion of creation, as evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve.” With that complicated history looming, Pope Francis, once a chemist, will soon issue
an authoritative church document laying out the moral justification for fighting global warming, especially for the world’s poorest billions. Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography climate scientist, briefed the pope on climate change. He said scientists felt they were failing in getting the world to understand the moral hazard that man-made warming presents. Now, he said, scientists who don’t often turn to religion are looking forward to the pope’s statement. “Science and religion doesn’t mix, but environment is an exception where science and religion say the same thing,” Ramanathan said. “I think we have found a common ground.”
