Only one escapee from the Prentiss County Jail remained at large Saturday after authorities captured the second of the three men during the early morning hours of Saturday. Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said David Joe Glasco was captured early Saturday by the Colbert County (Ala.) Sheriff’s Office and continues to aggressively pursue the remaining escapee, John Michael Brown. The search has focused on the Riverton area of Colbert County, just across the state line east of Iuka. Glasco, Brown and a third inmate, Mark Lindsey, escaped from the Prentiss County Jail early Thursday morning. Lindsey, 53, was captured Thursday afternoon and as been returned to Prentiss County where he faces charges of felony jail escape, two counts of felony taking of a motor vehicle and one count of felony malicious mischief. He is being held without bond.

The escapees were spotted in Cherokee, Ala. Thursday in a truck they had stolen from Prentiss County. The vehicle was located in the edge of Alabama and north of U.S. Highway 72 near Riverton Rose Trail. Brown is white, 5 feet 10 and 165 pounds. Lindsey was being held in the Prentiss County Jail on a burglary charge, Brown on a charge of possession of stolen property and Glasco on a charge of sexual battery. The sheriff said he’s grateful for the efforts of all agencies involved in searching for the escapees. “I can’t say enough about how hard they have worked to capture these fugitives,” he said. Tolar emphasizes the escapee should be considered dangerous and should not approach or attempt to apprehend them. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact local law enforcement or the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department at 728-2002.

Women in their first few months of pregnancy can now enjoy a one-time class for free to provide them with valuable information. Oasis Medical Center recently announced the formation of a new class — Healthy Pregnancy — which will be oﬀered on the first Wednesday of every month at 10:30 a.m. and the third Wednesday of every month at 3:30 p.m. “The Healthy Pregnancy class is not just for our clients. It’s

open to everyone who would like to come. All you have to do is stop by and fill out a short pre-registration form,” explained Kelly Rinehart, Marketing, Events and Volunteer Coordinator, OMC. The coordinator said the new, free class is not like the parenting classes as this is a one-time 45-minute class. “They go over healthy habits for pregnancy because they are diﬀerent than our regular day to day habits,” said Rinehart. The class is geared to help get women prepared to care for

themselves; thus, getting them prepared for a healthy pregnancy. The class covers education on nutrition and exercise, including exercise do’s and don’ts, and healthy habits. Rinehart noted that many doctor’s oﬃces do provide the same information, but sometimes it’s easier to have it explained more fully. “People are busy and they don’t always have time to read through a list of information, so we put it all in a nutshell about Please see PREGNANCY | 2A

DOWNTOWN finishing touches on five second floor apartments in their newly renovated building at the corner of Wick and Fillmore streets. All five apartments have already been rented, said Williams. “Most small town’s downtowns are dying, but ours is thriving and people want to be in the middle of the action,” said Williams. “For many people, the idea of being able to live and work and do everything else within a few blocks of each other is exactly how they want to live.” According Avectus General Manager Chip Wood, there are people who are actually living and working downtown. Wood said the downtown healthcare industry has had multiple employees who have lived or are living downtown. “We know our employees love being downtown,” said Wood, also a city alderman. “Having Avectus downtown ben-

When people began to live downtown, the ‘hours of operation’ for downtown grew into the night and early morning,” he said. “People needed a place to eat and shop ... this brought a diﬀerent type of ‘life’ to the immediate downtown area.” Developer and real estate agent Robert Williams has had his hand in the revitalization of more than 10 second floor apartments in downtown, and he said the demand to live downtown has never been greater.

It’s also great that our employees who wish to live just a few blocks from work have that option.” Downtown living options grow daily, as developers pop onto the scene to rehab blight buildings into useable properties. Back in 2008, it was Corinth native Lanny Griﬃth that transformed several Cruise Street buildings built in the 1870s into upscale upstairs apartments. Many other developers have followed suit. A new face to the developer scene is Dr. Nixon Dodd. He recently created six premium apartments on the second floor of the Hester Battery buildings. “I though these buildings were perfect for apartments,” he said. “It’s located on the edge of downtown’s business district which makes parking quite easy.

to chat with them if we see them out and about is wonderful,” said Nita. “Being able to walk downtown and never feeling in danger is great.” It makes us feel like a part of a lovely little community that is normally only seen in the movies.”

Today in History Today is Sunday, June 4, the 155th day of 2017. There are 210 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 4, 1917, the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded. Herbert Bayard Swope of the New York World was recognized for a series of articles, “Inside the German Empire;” the New York Tribune for an editorial on the one-year anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania; Jean Jules Jusserand for his book “With Americans of Past and Present Days”; Laura E. Richards, Maude Howe Elliott and Florence Howe Hall for their biography about Julia Ward Howe.

On this date: In 1812, the Louisiana Territory was renamed the Missouri Territory, to avoid confusion with the recently admitted state of Louisiana. The U.S. House of Representatives approved, 79-49, a declaration of war against Britain. In 1937, one of the first, if not the first, shopping carts was introduced by supermarket chain owner Sylvan Goldman in Oklahoma City. In 1940, during World War II, the Allied military evacuation of some 338,000 troops from Dunkirk, France, ended. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” In 1942, the World War II Battle of Midway began, resulting in a decisive American victory against Japan and marking the turning point of the war in the Pacific. The wartime drama “Mrs. Miniver,” an MGM production, premiered in New York. In 1977, the VHS home videocassette recorder was introduced to North America by JVC during a press conference in Chicago. In 1992, the U.S. Postal Service announced the results of a nationwide vote on the Elvis Presley stamp, saying more people preferred the “younger Elvis” design.

Across the Region Booneville Booneville voters to decide tourism tax BOONEVILLE — Booneville voters will choose a mayor, a trio of aldermen and decide on a proposed tourism tax in next week’s municipal general election. The busy ballot on Tuesday, June 6 will include races for mayor, ward 1 alderman, ward 3 alderman and ward 4 alderman, as well as the citywide referendum on the tourism tax plan. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday with all voting taking place at the West Side Park Community Center. Residents will choose a new mayor in the contest between Democrat Chris Lindley and Republican Larry S. Stevens. Oneterm incumbent Mayor Derrick Blythe did not seek reelection. In Ward 1, incumbent Democrat Jason Michael will face Republican Joshua Whitson. In Ward 3, incumbent Democrat Mark McCoy faces Libertarian Joel Counce. In Ward 4, Republican John Caviness will face Democrat William Scott. Incumbent David Bolen did not seek reelection. Races for alderman at large and ward 2 aldermen were decided in the Democratic primary since there were no Republican or other candidates in those races. Lisa Stevens was elected alderman at large, defeating incumbent Harold Eaton while incumbent Jeff Williams defeated challenger Colette McGee Gardner in the race for alderman ward 2. Voters will also be tasked next Tuesday with deciding the fate of the city’s proposed 2 percent tourism tax. The bill authorizing the tax requires 60 percent of those voting to vote in favor of the tax for it to be approved. The bill (Senate Bill 2948) authorizes the levying of a 2 percent additional sales tax on restaurants, hotels and motels in the city to provide funds to promote tourism and parks and recreation in the city. The bill states “For the purposes of providing funds to promote tourism and parks and recreation in the city, the governing authorities are authorized, in their discretion, to levy and collect from the following persons a tax, which shall be in

addition to all of the taxes and assessments imposed.” The question on next Tuesday’s ballot will be under the header of “Special Election” and will state “Are you in favor of or against the levy of an additional sales tax of 2% upon the gross proceeds of sales of hotels and motels derived from rentals and upon the gross proceeds of sales of restaurants for the purpose of providing funds to promote tourism and parks and recreation in the city of Booneville?” Voters will then mark either “For the Tax” or “Against the Tax”. If approved, all funds generated by the tax will be required to be kept separate from the city’s general fund revenue and used only for the purposes specifically listed in the bill.

Selmer Public education effort aims to stop elder abuse SELMER, Tenn. — The Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference partnered with the Tennessee Department of Human Services and Tennessee Voices for Victims to launch a public education effort encouraging Tennesseans to talk about elder abuse, Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich said. The effort — headlined “Tennessee Is Talking About Elder Abuse” — uses testimonials to encourage community dialogue and, ultimately, to increase reporting of abusive situations. “With our elderly population growing each year, increasing the awareness of and taking actions against elder abuse has become more important than ever,” said Gen. Weirich. “Stopping elder abuse will take the best efforts of all of us, and this awareness campaign aims to sound the alarm.” “People can be hesitant to report elder abuse because it’s embarrassing,” said Renee Bouchillon, Adult Protective Services Program Director. “But, reporting elder abuse is the right thing to do, and it is the lawful thing to do. Preventing elder abuse can be as simple as picking up the phone, whether that’s to check in on a neighbor or file an anonymous report.” TNDAGC received funds from the Tennessee General Assembly in 2016 to combat elder

abuse statewide by training prosecutors and other law enforcement professionals, and producing public awareness resources. “Protecting vulnerable Tennesseans, especially the elderly and incapacitated, is a priority,” said Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collierville, who was the prime sponsor of the Elderly and Vulnerable Adult Protection Act which passed during the recent legislative session. “It is important that the state continue to support this work, and I appreciate the support of our District Attorneys.” The training – a three-day, multidisciplinary seminar attended by prosecutors, criminal investigators, victim witness coordinators, DHS staff members and others in the statewide law enforcement community – was held in November of last year. Once the training was complete, TNDAGC began work on the project’s public education component. Printed materials, digital graphics and short videos feature Bouchillon, Tennessee Voices for Victims co-founder Valerie Craig and Amy Nix, whose mother was a victim of financial abuse, to share warning signs associated with different forms of elder abuse ranging from physical to financial and neglectful abandonment. Legislative action in 2016 and 2017 by the Tennessee General Assembly created more tools for prosecutors to fight elder abuse. In 2016, another law sponsored by Sen. Norris was enacted with TNDAGC’s support establishing Vulnerable Adult Protective Investigative Teams in each of the state’s 31 judicial districts. The teams foster informationsharing between government agencies tasked with protecting the elderly. The General Assembly produced legislation classifying financial crimes against the elderly as theft. The classification allows authorities to better define, discover and put a stop to financial exploitation of the elderly. “Last November’s training laid the foundation for the work we are now doing to educate the public about elder abuse,” said Gen. Amy Weirich. “Our next challenge will be to secure funding for victim witness sup-

port staff. When victims come forward, we must be confident that we have adequate levels of support staff in place to see them through this sensitive process.” Tennesseans can visit www. tndagc.org/ElderAbuse to download materials and find District Attorney contact information, and can visit www.facebook.com/TNDistrictAttorneys to join the conversation. Tennessee state law requires reporting of suspected abuse of a vulnerable or elderly adult. Call 1-888-APS-TENN (277-8366) or visit https:// ReportAdultAbuse.dhs.tn.gov to make an anonymous report.

No lawsuit can fix education There’s no doubt, as a lawsuit filed against the state of Mississippi alleges, that public education creates unequal opportunities and unequal outcomes. The question is how much responsibility the state bears for this. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s case, filed on behalf of four black mothers with children in public elementary schools, claims that Mississippi has for more than a century violated an 1870 federal law that allowed the state to rejoin the Union. The suit says the 1870 law requires Mississippi to provide a uniform system of free public schools for all children. But the suit claims the state’s 1890 Constitution changed that mandate to effectively create a white supremacist effort to deny black students a full and proper education — and the effect continues today. Where to start poking holes in this trial balloon? Let’s look at the timing first. The lawsuit seems about half a century late, since Mississippi, resistant to the end, integrated the last of its public schools in 1970 after a sharp rebuke from the U.S. Supreme Court. Segregated schools, with larger shares of spending on white students, were inherently unfair. Since then, the many thousands of black students who have graduated from Mississippi high schools — some from the poorest counties in the state — and gone on to better things cast a cloud on the claim that there is no state and local effort to provide a good education. Put another way, if the white supremacists are still running the show, they have failed miserably at keeping greater numbers of black people from improving their lives. Now, there’s no sense being naive. Black education achievement in Mississippi is noticeably lower when compared to white students. More black students drop out of school. Standardized test scores of black students are lower, as is overall achievement. The outcomes certainly are unequal, and there is much work to be done to reach anything near parity. But short of removing all local control of public school districts, it’s hard to see how much difference the state can make. A big complaint, and the topic of a separate case before the state Supreme Court, is that the Legislature has rarely fully funded the Mississippi Adequate Education Program, which directs more state money to poorer districts. There are a lot more pieces to this puzzle than money, however. A key element, which the Southern Poverty Law Center overlooks, is the difficult family situations from which many struggling students come: single-parent households in which academics are a low priority. Also, many of the school districts with high numbers of failing students are also poorly managed and poorly staffed. These problems are more rooted in the quality of the labor pool and low expectations and low standards in these communities than it is in the level of school funding. The state can only do so much, such as put 39 percent of its general fund into education and hold school boards and superintendents accountable for improving their results. The rest has to be accomplished at the local level. Teachers and administrators have to be creative, and families must expect more of their children and be more involved in their education from Day 1. No lawsuit can force that.

Is Afghanistan a lost cause? “We are there and we are committed” was the regular retort of Secretary of State Dean Rusk during the war in Vietnam. Whatever you may think of our decision to go in, Rusk was saying, if we walk away, the United States loses the first war in its history, with all that means for Southeast Asia and America’s position in the world. We face a similar moment of decision. Wednesday, a truck bomb exploded near the diplomatic quarter of Kabul, killing 90 and wounding 460. So terrible was the atrocity that the Taliban denied complicity. It is believed to have been the work of the Haqqani network. This “horrific and shameful attack demonstrates these terrorists’ compete disregard for human life and their nihilistic opposition to the dream of a peaceful future for Afghanistan,” said Hugo Llordens, a U.S. diplomat in Kabul. The message the truck bombers sent to the Afghan people? Not even in the heart of this capital can your government keep civilian workers and its own employees safe. Message to America: After investing hundreds of billions and 2,000 U.S. lives in the 15 years since 9/11, we are further from victory than we have ever been.

President Obama, believing Afghanistan was the right war, and Iraq the Patrick wrong war, Buchanan ramped up the U.S. presColumnist ence in 2011 to 100,000 troops. His plan: Cripple the Taliban, train the Afghan army and security forces, stabilize the government, and withdraw American forces by the end of his second term. Obama fell short, leaving President Trump with 8,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and Kabul’s control more tenuous than ever. The Taliban hold more territory and are active in more provinces than they have been since being driven from power in 2001. And Afghan forces are suﬀering casualties at the highest rate of the war. Stated starkly, the war in Afghanistan is slowly being lost. Indeed, Trump has inherited what seems to be an unwinnable war, if he is not prepared to send a new U.S. army to block the Taliban from taking power. And it is hard to believe that the American people would approve of any large reintroduction of U.S. forces. The U.S. commander there, Gen. John Nichol-

son, has requested at least 3,000 more U.S. troops to train the Afghan army and stabilize the country while seeking a negotiated end to the war. Trump’s conundrum: 3,000 or 5,000 more U.S. troops can at best help the Afghan security forces sustain the present stalemate. But if we could not defeat the Taliban with 100,000 U.S. troops in country in 2011, we are not going to defeat a stronger Taliban with a U.S. force one-seventh of that size. And if a guerrilla army does not lose, it wins. Any awareness that their great superpower ally was departing, now or soon, or refusing to invest more after 15 years, would be a psychological blow from which President Ashraf Ghani’s government might not recover. What would a Taliban victory mean? The Afghan people, especially those who cast their lot with us, could undergo something like what befell the South Vietnamese and Cambodians in 1975. It would be a defeat for us almost as far-reaching as was the defeat for the Soviet Union, when the Red Army was forced to pull out after a decade of war in the 1980s. For the USSR, that Afghan defeat proved a nearfatal blow. And if we pulled up stakes

and departed, the exodus from Afghanistan would be huge and we would face a moral crisis of how many refugees we would accept, and how many we would leave behind to their fate. Fifteen years ago, some of us argued that an attempt to remake Afghanistan and Iraq in our image was utopian folly, almost certain, given the history and culture of the entire region, to fail. Yet we plunged in. In 2001, it was Afghanistan. In 2003, we invaded and occupied Iraq. Then we attacked Libya and ousted Gadhafi. Then we intervened in Syria. Then we backed the Saudi war to crush the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Given the trillions sunk and lost, and the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, dead, how have we benefited ourselves, or these peoples? As Rusk said, “We are there and we are committed.” And the inevitable departure of the United States from the Middle East, which is coming, just as the British, French and Soviet empires had to depart, will likely do lasting damage to the American soul. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of a new book, “Nixon’s White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever.”

The 2016 campaign is over If you keep up with the news, you might think that the unpleasant and unedifying 2016 presidential campaign is still going on. President Donald Trump, up early, is sending out tweets coarsely attacking foreign leaders and American politicians -- complete with misspelled words, in at least one case to the point of indecipherability. Runner-up Hillary Clinton is supervising a busy staﬀ, which, after she takes an hour for exercise, fills her in on the 60 minutes’ latest news developments. A leader of the “resistance” — a term she’s embraced — should always be prepared. Charitably-minded observers may excuse both of these individuals, neither of whom expected 12 months ago to be in the places and positions they are today. And they might add that they’re not the only ones continuing to operate in campaign mode. Rush Limbaugh proclaims that “American voters saved this country as we know it.” Or, to be more precise, the 46 percent of American voters responsible for securing 304 electoral votes for Trump did. Limbaugh is, of course, right that Trump’s victory has had important policy consequences, from the appointment of Justice Neil

Gorsuch to the renunciation of the unenforceable strictures of the Paris cliMichael mate agreeBarone ment. More, although Columnist probably not so many as most Trump voters would like, are in store. But America has rebounded from policy mistakes — you can make your own list — before. Every election has policy consequences, some of them pretty serious and many unpredictable. On the other side, 43 percent of respondents to a Politico/Morning Consult poll want Congress to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. Over half of those people — 23 percent of respondents — think he has proved “he is unfit to serve and should be removed from office, regardless of whether he committed an impeachable offense or not.” So to heck with the Constitution and its nitpicking requirement that officials be removed from office only for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” These folks want a revote, right now. For them, the campaign is still on — as it may still be

for the next 17 months, if in 2018 Democratic House candidates make impeachment a main plank of their platforms. Amid the continuing campaign chatter, let’s step back and ponder how current events will be regarded in the longer run of history. Trump’s capture of 70 previously Democratic electoral votes in the Midwest and Pennsylvania owes much to his distinctive stands on immigration and trade, even though the problems he cited are of declining importance. Illegal immigration across the Mexican border fell oﬀ sharply in 2007, and the reduction in American jobs because of Chinese imports probably crested several years before. On foreign policy, Trump has abandoned Barack Obama’s tilt to Iran (Obama had a secret back channel with Iran, dating back to the 2008 campaign) and stitched together an informal anti-Iran coalition in the Middle East. He may have persuaded China to exert some discipline over North Korea and has accelerated the long-standing missile defense program, derided for years by Democrats, to protect America from any Kim Jong Un nukes. As for Europe, he and

German Chancellor Angela Merkel both have benefited politically from trading news conference and Twitter insults. Merkel is strengthened for her Sept. 24 election, and Trump can claim to have spurred Europeans to take more responsibility for their own defense. This is starting to look like a more conventional Republican foreign policy than campaign rhetoric suggested. Congressional Democrats seem to have stalled in their eﬀorts to find some Team Trump collusion with Russia that would justify the impeachment proceedings their party’s base expects and lusts for -- perhaps because an investigation could show that the Obama administration surveilled and criminally unmasked Americans for political reasons. I’m happy to join those urging Trump and Clinton to stop acting like candidates. But maybe the rest of us should take a deep breath and stop acting as if the campaign were still on.

Session focuses on short-term, long-term budgets BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi legislators are hoping to make quick work of a special session that focuses on money. The session begins at 10 a.m. Monday, and Republican Gov. Phil Bryant says he hopes it will last only a day or two. Lawmakers need to set budgets for the attorney general’s oﬃce and the Department of Transportation. Those are the last unresolved parts of an overall $6 billion state spending plan for the year that begins July 1. Bryant is also proposing some long-term changes to the bud-

get process to address concerns that three rating agencies have raised about the state’s finances since last summer. He released these ideas Friday in a package he calls the “Fortify Act.” House and Senate leaders say members need to evaluate them. Bryant wants the state to increase the amount of money that the state puts into its rainy day fund. He wants to put a requirement into law for the Legislative Budget Oﬃce to write multiyear financial plans. Bryant said the oﬃce already does this, but mandating it will please the rating agencies.

He also wants lawmakers to change the handling of money that is left over at the end of each budget year, putting more of it into savings and into a fund that helps pay for long-term projects. He said doing that could decrease the state’s reliance on borrowing. Senate President Pro Tempore Terry Burton said Bryant has spoken to top lawmakers, and leaders from each chamber have been talking to each other about the governor’s ideas. “Some of those are just minor tweaks,” said Burton, a Republican from Newton. “Some are major policy changes, like increasing the amount going

into the rainy day fund. That’s a pretty heavy lift.” Putting aside more money in the rainy day fund could be a challenge because state tax collections have lagged behind expectations most months the past couple of years, and Bryant has had to make multiple rounds of budget cuts. Many agencies are already receiving less money than they requested. While some lawmakers have said more money should be removed from the rainy day fund to decrease the impact of budget cuts, others say more money needs to be put into the fund so the state will have a stronger

safeguard in case the economy falters and state revenue drops, as it did during the Great Recession. House Speaker Pro Tempore Greg Snowden, a Republican from Meridian, said bolstering the rainy day fund is “a prudent thing to do.” “The idea is that if the rainy day fund is full, it ought to be enough to get you past most really bad patches,” Snowden said. He said building up savings doesn’t just happen on its own. “It’s not like it’s ‘found money,’” Snowden said. “It’s actually systematically laid aside. We deliberately do it.”

Allman laid to rest near Highway 41 BY JEFF MARTIN Associated Press

MACON, Ga. — Southern rocker Gregg Allman was laid to rest Saturday near his older brother Duane in the same cemetery where they used to write songs among the tombstones, not far from US Highway 41. Thousands of fans lined the streets of Macon to honor Allman, who was carried into Rose Hill Cemetery as a bagpiper played a somber tune. Family and friends, including musicians who played in The Allman Brothers Band over the years, gathered next to his grave and on a nearby hillside shaded by huge oak trees. Towards the end, a freight train rolled in and stopped alongside the cemetery, reminding some mourners of Allman’s lyrics to “Melissa.” Along the funeral route, many shared memories of concerts, and some blared the band’s songs from their cars and trucks. One carried a sign saying “You made our soul shine. We’ll miss you brother Gregg.” “I wouldn’t have missed this if I lived in China,” said Kelli Jo Hickman, who drove in from Murphy, N.C. She said her mom, Dixie, introduced her to the band in the 1970s, and she’s lis-

“He’s somebody who has been in my life first as an artist and later as a real person since I was about 8 years old, and so it’s shocking to think of the world without him.” Alan Paul Author, “One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band” tened to their music ever since. The funeral service was private, with room for only about 100 people inside the small chapel. Allman’s ex-wife Cher and his band mates, including the drummer Jaimoe and guitarist Dickey Betts, who wrote and sang “Ramblin Man,” also attended. Some slipped into the chapel through a back entrance. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter had said he would attend, honoring the keyboardist who drew large crowds to campaign events during his 1976 presidential race. Allman, who blazed a trail for many Southern rock groups, died May 27 at the age of 69 at his home near Savannah, Georgia, said Michael Lehman, the rock star’s manager. He blamed liver cancer.

With Gregg at the organ and Duane playing guitar, the band began its rise to fame in the central Georgia city 90 miles south of Atlanta about five decades ago. They used to write songs while hanging out in the cemetery, Alan Paul wrote in “One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band.” “He’s somebody who has been in my life first as an artist and later as a real person since I was about 8 years old, and so it’s shocking to think of the world without him,” said Paul, 50, who interviewed Allman many times for his book. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Allman was raised in Florida by a single mother. Allman idolized his older brother, Duane, eventually joining a series of bands with him. Together they formed the heart of The Allman Broth-

Deaths

ers Band before Duane died in a motorcycle crash in 1971, just as they were reaching stardom. In his 2012 memoir, “My Cross to Bear,” Allman said he finally felt “brand new” in the 1990s after years of overindulging in women, drugs and alcohol. But hepatitis C had ruined his liver, and after getting a transplant, it was music that helped him recover. Allman felt that being on the road playing music for his fans was “essential medicine for his soul,” according to a statement from the Big House, the Macon museum dedicated to the band. Lehman said he spoke with Allman the night before he died. “He said the last few days he was just, you know, tired,” Lehman said. The night before he passed away, Allman was able to listen to some of the tracks being produced for his final record, “Southern Blood,” Lehman said. The album is scheduled to be released in the fall. “He was looking forward to sharing it with the world and that dream is going to be realized,” Lehman said. “I told him that his legacy is going to be protected, and the gift that he gave to the music world will continue to live on forever.”

Special counsel Mueller’s investigation seems to be growing Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The special counsel investigating possible ties between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia’s government has taken over a separate criminal probe involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and may expand his inquiry to investigate the roles of the attorney general and deputy attorney general in the firing of FBI Director James Comey, The Associated Press has learned. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told the AP in a separate interview that he would step aside from any oversight of

special counsel Robert Mueller if he were to become a subject of Mueller’s investigation. The Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Manafort predated the 2016 election and the counterintelligence probe that in July began investigating possible collusion between Moscow and associates of Trump. Manafort was forced to resign as Trump campaign chairman in August amid questions over his business dealings years ago in Ukraine. The move to consolidate the matters, involving allegations of misuse of Ukrainian government funds, indicates that

Mueller is assuming a broad mandate in his new role running the investigation. The expansiveness of Mueller’s investigation was described to the AP. No one familiar with the matter has been willing to publicly discuss the scope of his investigation because it is just getting underway and revealing details could complicate its progress. Rosenstein acknowledged that Mueller could expand his inquiry to include Attorney General Jeﬀ Sessions’ and Rosenstein’s roles in the decision to fire Comey, who was investigating the Trump campaign. Rosenstein, who

appointed Mueller as special counsel, wrote the memorandum intended to justify Trump’s decision to fire Comey. Sessions met with Trump and Rosenstein to discuss Trump’s decision to fire him despite Sessions’ pledge not to become involved in the Russia case. The AP asked Rosenstein specifically whether Mueller’s investigation could expand to include examining Sessions’ role. “The order is pretty clear,” Rosenstein responded. “It gives him authority for the investigation and anything arising out of that investigation, and so Director Mueller will be respon-

sible in the first instance for determining what he believes falls into that mandate.” Under Justice Department rules, Mueller is required to seek permission from Rosenstein to investigate additional matters other than ones already specified in the paperwork formally appointing Mueller. “I’ve talked with Director Mueller about this,” Rosenstein said. “He’s going to make the appropriate decisions, and if anything that I did winds up being relevant to his investigation then, as Director Mueller and I discussed, if there’s a need from me to recuse, I will.”

Trump to push for overhauling highways, bridges, air traffic BY KEN THOMAS AND JOSH BOAK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is launching a major push for a $1 trillion overhaul of the nation’s roads and bridges, a key item on his agenda that’s been stymied in Congress and overshadowed by White House controversies. Trump plans a series of events this coming week to highlight his effort to modernize American infrastructure — the highway, waterway, electrical and airway systems on which the nation operates. His campaign for public and private funding for the projects is expected to run from the White House, where he’ll speak about upgrading air traffic control, to Ohio on inland waterways and through meetings with mayors, governors and Transportation Department officials. The Trump administration has struggled to gain traction on many of its economic policies. Job growth has slowed in recent months instead of accelerating as the president predicted. Trump has said he has tax legislation moving through Congress but his effort has been stalled and no bill has been written. His budget plan released during his foreign trip included math errors that enabled the White House to falsely claim that its tax plan would deliver both faster growth and a balanced budget. Trump’s agenda has been overshadowed by ongoing probes into whether Trump campaign officials or associates colluded with Russian officials to influence the 2016 election, as well as scruti-

“It doesn’t matter who you are, whether you are farmer in the Midwest, or a mother driving your kids to and from school, or a worker or a college kid flying back and forth to school, you’re affected by infrastructure.” Gary Cohn White House economic adviser ny over Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey — who is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill on Thursday. And other policies on the agenda, such as health care and taxes, come first on a fast-closing legislative calendar. But modernizing the nation’s infrastructure remains a challenge with broad public support. Trump’s push to revamp deteriorating roads, bridges, airports and railways aims to unlock economic growth and succeed in an area where his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, was repeatedly thwarted by a Republican-led Congress. “It doesn’t matter who you are, whether you are farmer in the Midwest, or a mother driving your kids to and from school, or a worker or a college kid flying back and forth to school, you’re aﬀected by infrastructure,” said White House economic adviser Gary Cohn in a conference call with reporters. Cohn said the nation was “falling behind and the falling behind is affecting economic growth in the United States. The president wants to fix the problems and he doesn’t want to push these liabilities into the future.” Trump on Monday is

set to outline his legislative principles for overhauling the air traffic control system, using a White House address to propose separating air traffic control operations from the Federal Aviation Administration, a key priority for U.S. airlines. The president plans to travel to Ohio on Wednesday to address ways of improving levees, dams and locks along inland waterways that are crucial to agricultural exports. His visit is expected to include a speech expected to touch on partnering with states and local governments. Cohn said governors and mayors are scheduled meet with Trump at the White House on Thursday for a listening session focused on the efficient use of tax dollars for infrastructure projects. On Friday, Trump will visit the Transportation Department to discuss regulatory changes related to roads and railways. Trump has noted that the approval process for permits frequently can drag on for a decade and has pressed to shorten the length of the review process. Trump’s focus on infrastructure follows the government’s monthly jobs report, which showed hiring slowing down in May.

Maher’s racial slur on show criticized LOS ANGELES — Bill Maher is facing criticism for his use of a racial slur during a discussion with a Republican senator on his HBO talk show Friday night. Maher was speaking with Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska during a segment of his “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Sasse joked that he would like to have Maher visit Nebraska and work in the fields, which prompted Maher to use a slur in a joke that he was a house slave. The comedian immediately waved off audience groans. Activists including the Rev. Al Sharpton quickly criticized Maher and it remained a top-ranked topic on Twitter on Saturday morning.

Gallery owner: Art sale defamed him RENO, Nev. — The head of fine art galleries in New Mexico and New York City has filed a defamation suit against one of the world’s largest Western American art auctions and a Nevada gallery. Gerald P. Peters of Santa Fe is accusing them of falsely claiming a $1 million painting he sold is a fake. He’s seeking unspecified damages from Peter Stremmel Galleries, the Coeur D’Alene Art Auction of Nevada and an Idaho-based organizer of the auction. The lawsuit centers on an early 20th century oil painting Peters says is the work of Frank Tenney Johnson. Johnson, who died in Los Angeles in 1939, is known for moonlit, frontier scenes of cowboys and Native Americans. More than a dozen of his paintings have sold at Nevada’s massive annual Coeur D’Alene Auction, most recently “Cowboys Roping the Bear” for more than $965,000 in 2012.

Farmers decry plans to cut subsides DES MOINES, Iowa — Farm groups and some members of Congress from farm states are decrying proposed cuts to crop insurance

and other safety net programs for farmers included in President Donald Trump’s budget. The proposed cuts come as farmers are facing their fourth straight year of falling income. They could particularly affect farm states such as Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska that helped Trump win the November election. One proposal would cut the federal crop insurance program by $28 billion over 10 years. Programs that provide crop subsidies would lose $9 billion. But Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa farmer, says the crop insurance cuts won’t make it through Congress.

Judge briefly bars Muslim kids’ visit NEW YORK — Some Islamic school students in New York City got a surprise civics lesson when a judge briefly barred them from a public courtroom, saying she suspected their presence was a ploy to get sympathy with the jury. The unusual move came Wednesday at a federal courthouse in Manhattan on the second day of a civil trial in which the U.S. government is trying to seize a skyscraper it claims is secretly owned by Iran. An Iranian-American charity, the Alavi Foundation, owns 60 percent of the Fifth Avenue office tower and is fighting the U.S. government’s attempt. U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest halted testimony when 16 students in uniforms and head coverings arrived on a field trip from the Razi School, a private school in Queens that is supported by the charity. The judge said she thought the students’ presence was “gamesmanship” and she barred them from entering while she spoke with lawyers. She ultimately let the children in, just in time for them to hear a lawyer ask if the white scarves worn by 10 students were to blame for the snub. His comments angered the judge, who called them “so inappropriate that it is breathtaking.” Afterward, Sayyed

Musawi, one of two social studies teachers who chaperoned the students, said, “The judge is out of line here.” Musawi said he had urged the school to permit the field trip before exams started later in the week and the purpose of the trip was to learn about the legal system, not to build jury sympathy for the Alavi Foundation.

Bedbugs released in Maine city office AUGUSTA, Maine — The city manager in Augusta, Maine, says the municipal office building had to be sprayed for bedbugs after a man threw a cup of the pests onto an office counter and about 100 of them scattered off. City Manager William Bridgeo tells the Kennebec Journal the man apparently complained Friday to the code enforcement office about bedbugs at his former apartment then left, but returned after he showed the cup of bugs to a manager at his new apartment and was told he couldn’t live there. Bridgeo says the man let the bugs loose in the General Assistance Office where he asked for a form to request assistance and apparently was told he didn’t qualify.

A man identified by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office as Breon Hollings went on Facebook Live to show friends a handful of money, saying, “It don’t stop, man, it don’t stop.” He then retrieves more money from another room and starts shuffling it when he hears Jacksonville officers warning over a loudspeaker they are about to raid the house. A stunned Hollings runs out of the room. Seconds later, officers barge in. Hollings faces numerous drug charges and was held on $425,000 bail Saturday.

Judge rejects suit over budget cuts JACKSON — A judge on Friday ruled against a lawsuit by two Democratic legislators challenging the power of the Mississippi governor to make midyear budget cuts. The ruling by Hinds County Chancery Judge Patricia Wise came only two weeks after Rep. Bryant Clark of Pickens and Sen. John Horhn of Jackson had sued. Will Bardwell of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the lawyer who represented to the plaintiffs, said they agreed to a quick ruling by Wise during a Wednesday hearing to speed the case on its way to the state Supreme Court. The lawmakers say the cuts are unconstitutional because they violate the separation of powers, which reserves budgetwriting for legislators. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant says they’re wrong about the state constitution, and that the governor is clearly authorized to spend less than the maximum amount appropriated by lawmakers. “The governor is obviously pleased with the result, and he still believes budget control is an executive function,” spokesman Clay Chandler said. Bryant has cut $171 million from the state budget since July. The governor also has withdrawn $50 million from the state rainy day fund to cushion shortfalls and was given legislative approval to withdraw $50 million more.

At the scene, Augustinowicz told sheriff’s deputies that burning the structure was the only way to get his girlfriend out of the house. But the girlfriend told deputies that Augustinowicz set the fire after they had physically fought over the man’s new girlfriend. Three days later, Augustinowicz changed his story by telling deputies he mainly burned the home because it was in poor physical shape.

Suspect in 3 states waives hearing PRATT, Kan. — A man accused of killing and wounding people in Mississippi, New Mexico and Kansas in February has waived a hearing. Alex Deaton is charged in Kansas with attempted murder, aggravated robbery, theft, fleeing and attempting to elude an officer. A Pratt County judge bound Deaton over after he waived Friday’s hearing. The stepfather of Pratt store clerk Riley Juel, whom Deaton is accused of shooting, says a recovering Juel has resumed work. Deaton is indicted in Rankin County, Mississippi, for murder, auto theft and drive-by shooting, accused of strangling his girlfriend, stealing her car, and shooting a jogger. Authorities also say he killed a woman in Neshoba County, Mississippi. Deaton then allegedly drove to New Mexico, carjacked a couple and shot one, before capture in Kansas.

Crye-Leike, Inc. is now ranked as the fifth largest independently-owned real estate firm in the nation, according to the 2017 REAL Trends 500 ranking based on CryeLeike’s 2016 sales results. The ranking comes at a time when the company’s continued growth and success has reached pinnacle milestones — its 40th anniversary and 25th year of expansion outside its Memphis, Tenn. hometown. Established in 1977 in Memphis, Crye-Leike expanded into Nashville in 1992, the start of regional expansion that has grown the firm into the largest residential real estate firm in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and the Mid-South, and the fifth-largest independent real estate firm in the country. Crye-Leike’s more than 3,100 sales associates, 800 employees and 126 company-owned and franchise oﬃces spread across nine states generated $6.36 billion in sales volume in 2016 — its biggest year ever — and is on track to achieve the company’s goal of $6.7 million in sales volume this year. REAL Trends 500 is an annual research report produced by REAL Trends (www.realtrends. com), the source for news, research and information about the real estate bro-

kerage industry. Its report is an independently verified compilation of the nation’s leading residential real estate companies which identifies the largest and most successful residential firms in the country. Crye-Leike ranks No. 5 on the Real Trends 500 list of Largest Independents, with 29,314 closed transaction sides in 2016. (A transaction “side” refers to the firm representing either the buyer or the seller in a real estate transaction. If both buyer and seller are represented by Crye-Leike agents, then that counts as two transaction sides.) Crye-Leike’s record sales year of $6.36 billion in 2016 was up 10.8 percent from $5.74 billion in 2015, and topped its previous best year of $6.1 billion in 2006. CEO Harold E. Crye notes that the 10.8 percent increase in sales volume — more than double the company’s goal of 5 percent growth in 2016 — came “in spite of historic inventory shortages across all regions” where the company operates. “Our proven system of support for our sales associates, the best training and adoption of the best technology is propelling Crye-Leike’s growth and are why we are a market leader in all of the markets where we operate,” Crye said.

Biometric boarding passes to be tested Associated Press

Boarding passes could someday become quaint relics for air travelers. JetBlue Airways plans to test facial-recognition check-in for a few flights beginning later this month, and Delta Air Lines plans to let some passengers board with their fingerprints instead of a boarding pass. The once-ubiquitous paper boarding pass is already shunned by many travelers who prefer to use mobile boarding passes on their phones. Now pilot programs could render those obsolete too, as airlines aim to increase convenience for customers, and government agencies look to increase security. JetBlue and U.S. Customs and Border Protection will test facial recognition for passengers boarding flights from Boston’s Logan Airport to

Aruba starting later this month. Volunteers will be photographed and their images will be searched against a Customs database of passport and other photos. Passengers who are cleared will get a signal from a screen above the camera, telling them they can go ahead and board. JetBlue said it will be the first airline to work with Customs to test biometrics for identifying passengers during boarding. Delta recently started letting come members of its loyalty program use fingerprints as proof of their identity to enter the airline’s lounge at Reagan Washington National Airport. The airline says that it plans to expand the test at National to let members use fingerprints to check a bag and board a plane.

Low inventory of forsale homes in all of the markets where CryeLeike operates didn’t slow the company’s growth. In 2016, Crye-Leike sales associates handled 32,834 closings across nine states, a 4.46 percent increase in the number of closings in 2015 (31,826). That’s an average of 10.4 sales per agent. “In the last few years, the national norm for many large real estate firms or franchises is from five to nine sales closed per person per year,” says Steve Brown, president of Crye-Leike Residential Sales, “so in spite of our size Crye-Leike is closing high numbers per agent compared to our peer firms and franchises in the United States. Crye-Leike’s goal of $6.7 billion in sales volume this year — a 7 percent increase over 2016 — is achievable despite continued low inventory, insuﬃcient new home construction, rising mortgage rates, and student loan debt, Crye said. “Even though we know we will face headwinds we still think that the overall economic growth, improving employment picture and more household

formation all will have an overall positive impact and increase both volume and number of sales, barring an uncontrollable event in the global economic picture.” Crye-Leike Real Estate Services (www.crye-leike. com), a full service real estate company headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., has a network of over 3,100 sales associates and 126 companyowned and franchise oﬃces located in a ninestate region in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Missouri. Crye-Leike’s nine regional hub oﬃces are located in Atlanta (Georgia region), Chattanooga (Southeast Tennessee region), Huntsville (Alabama region), Jackson (Mississippi region), Knoxville (East Tennessee Region), Little Rock (Central Region), Rogers (Northwest Arkansas Region), Memphis (West Tennessee region) and Nashville (Middle Tennessee region). CryeLeike’s franchise territories are located in Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee

Distant sisters work to close the gap in their relationship Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: A few years ago, my sister mailed me a long letter detailing her resentment for me and our lack of closeness. She said she wanted to have a re-

lationship. After reading it, I reached out to her and thanked her for her openness. I agreed that I, too, would like to be closer. I am eight years older than she is, and we live in different states. Growing up, our mother didn’t take time to foster our relationship. I’m now married and have a baby. She’s going her way, too, beginning a new career. Lately our relationship has become one-sided. I’m almost always the one to initiate a phone call or message, and when I do, she doesn’t always respond. When we talk, I ask her about herself, and that seems to be the focus of conversation. Or we talk about my baby. Our relationship doesn’t feel genuine to me. I feel obligated to call her, but she doesn’t re-

ciprocate. Must I keep this up because we’re family, or should I tell her how I feel in the hope that our relationship could become a two-way street? She’s sensitive, and I’m worried that if I bring it up it will make things worse. -- STRUGGLING SISTER IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR STRUGGLING SISTER: It’s all right to tell your sister that when she doesn’t respond to your calls or messages, it’s hurtful. But rather than say you feel the relationship has become one-sided, which could be interpreted as a criticism of her, explain that you realize both of you are busy people. Then suggest the two of you agree to schedule a call every month or so to catch up. If she truly wants the relationship she requested, it shouldn’t be too much of a burden for her. DEAR ABBY: In reference to the letter from “Grossed Out in Florida” and your response, regarding people who blow their noses at the supper table, especially older people, you need to be more understanding. Many older adults suffer from what is called “gustatory rhinitis,” or a runny nose brought on by eating hot or spicy foods. These people exhibit a profuse, watery nasal discharge

when eating that is made worse by emotions, alcohol, temperature and strong odors. It is not something they can control. And as much as most would prefer to leave the table to blow their noses, they would not be able to eat much if they had to keep leaving. It is hard enough to get some elders to eat an adequate diet without insisting they excuse themselves every few minutes to blow their noses, and just “tiny dabs with a tissue” would be totally inadequate to control the flow. Please, folks, show some compassion and just look the other way. -- R.N. IN NAPERVILLE, ILL. DEAR R.N.: Thank you for that useful information. I received numerous letters in response to that column from seniors mentioning “gustatory rhinorrhea” (along with allergies) as the reason they blow their noses at the dinner table. Not a day goes by that I don’t receive a letter about noseblowing, so I’m hoping your letter will educate readers on the subject, as it did me. 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). You like to rest in shelter and nest in style. Just outside, trees whisper, the sun streams in dots and prisms, animals play -- and if you go out in it, you’ll feel as if it’s all for you. Maybe it is. Don’t miss it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Resist the tendency to amuse yourself with hopes or fears, because it will rob you of engagement with something crucial going on over the course of the next 48 hours. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you’ve a knack for unconsciously drifting into decent situations, it’s the conscious choices that will move you to a better fit for your particular talents and curiosities. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The past is not here, only your recounted version of it, a story that quite honestly changes each time your mind touches it. Such is the nature of memories. They bend when tampered with. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). That thing you experienced with

dread once upon a time now seems like a golden opportunity. You could even get a happy rush from the thought of it. It’s as if you just got called down on “The Price Is Right.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is challenging enough without added pressures and challenges, so embark on easygoing leisure. A perfectly lovely experience can be ruined by a rushed time frame or an ill-fitted expectation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t worry so much about being unique. Anyway, most of what passes for originality is really just a new combination of old stuff. Consider bringing together a few of the things you really like. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes the remedy for the blues is not looking forward but looking backward. Remember all the times you overcame? You somehow made things happen you didn’t even know you were capable of, and you’ll do it again, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Money is never the main ingredient of achievement. There are almost always less costly, more feasible approaches once you decide not to let a shortage of funds stand in the way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you stop, make sure the stopping place fulfills two criteria. It should be a good place to remain, should your further travels be delayed, and it should be a good place from which to launch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). By now, everyone in the distracted First World has heard of the perils of multitasking, yet it bears repeating: The illusion that you can do many things at once will be met with the reality of many undone things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your life usually plays out in a complex and nuanced way, more like a foreign film than a melodrama. Today, however, the roles of hero and villain seem to be more or less clearly and typically depicted.

Games washed out Mother nature was the winner in many parts of the southeast Saturday and nowhere was that more true than in Jackson and Hattiesburg. The 44th D.M. Howie Mississippi All-Star games were cancelled Saturday due to inclement weather at Trustmark Park in Pearl. Several local high school stars were set to play their final high school games but were disappointed instead. They did attend the awards banquet Friday night and each received a nice watch as a parting gift. Meanwhile in Hattiesburg, Mississippi State’s elimination game against Illinois-Chicago in the Hattiesburg Regional was washed out as well and will be made up Sunday at 11 weather permitting. The Bulldogs lost their first regional game Friday 6-3 to South Alabama.

Crossroads Regional Park BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com

Crossroads Regional Park doesn’t take time oﬀ. Park director Ray Holloway and his staﬀ are continually planning and preparing for upcoming tournaments and other events as well as overseeing the weekly league schedule of baseball and softball games. The park, as well as the entire area, took a severe hit from storms last weekend and cleanup and repairs have been the order of business this week as the facility preps for a summer full of activity and fun. The park has already hosted the Crossroads Global World Series baseball qualifier back in early March, a 3-on-3 outdoor basketball tournament on April 1, the MRPA North Mississippi Spring youth fast-pitch softball classic in late April, the Crossroads Fast Pitch Classic for USA-Youth 8U-14U on May 6, the Coca Cola AA Youth 7U-14U baseball tournament May 12-14 and the Tri-State Global World series Baseball qualifier May 19-21.

What’s Going On And that’s just for starters. The USA-Adult Coke Classic Men’s and Women’s Coed softball tournament scheduled for this weekend will be rescheduled for a future date. For those who would like to attend there will be a grand opening and ribbon cutting for the new complex and soccer fields tomorrow- June 5near the concession area at the five-field complex. The next tournament on the agenda is the ASA/USA Coca Cola Youth Classic for 8U, 10U and 12U on June 10. A fun night of fundraiser softball will be conducted at the park complex June 16 when the Corinth Fire Department faces the Corinth Police Department to help raise money for Havis’ Kids. A 10-day event will be staged at the park from June 12-22 when the USA/USSSA Babe Ruth League Championships are played in 6-12U, ages 13-15, Men’s, Church and Seniors. This will be the most extensive event on the summer menu. Then comes the USA/

USFA-Youth NIT Championships for ages 8U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U June 23-25. Following that will be the USA-Youth Fast-Pitch North State Class B & C softball tournament for ages 10U and 12U. The Babe Ruth 13-14 State Championships will be staged July 6-9 before a three-week break. Following the break the USA-Adult Summer Classic Men’s Open will be held July 29-30. The final summer event will be August 26 when the park host the Grass Volleyball Adult Co-Ed tournament. The first Fall event will be a recreational Disc Golf Classic on September 23. For those not familiar with this current craze the sport is set up like a gold course but no clubs are needed as participants toss a disc with their hands. There is a disc golf course at Pickwick if you wanna check it out ahead of time and learn more about how to play. There’s also an informative article on the sport- as well as the Pickwick course- in the latest ‘Exploring Pickwick’ magazine that published recently. The story — complete with

photo’s — is on pages 64 and 65 of the publication. And don’t forget the Corinth Cup Tennis Tournament Circuit happening in June and July at both Shiloh Ridge and Crossroads park. Look for all the details this week when we post the schedule and ages in the Daily Corinthian Sports Pages. The Crossroads Regional Park is indeed an asset to the community and is constantly undergoing improvements in infrastructure as well as structures. There will soon be a cross-walk from the front of the park across to Meigg Street for individuals who live in the general area that will make it a safer place as well for all involved. Make it a point to visit Crossroads Regional Park soon and often and help support a Corinth treasure. Countless thousands of adults and young people have grown up playing sports in addition to walking and hanging out there. If you’re not among that number yet we hope you will be soon.

CHICAGO — Despite a frustrating first two months of the season, Kyle Schwarber has focused on remaining upbeat. “I always try to stay as positive and as mentally strong as possible because I know how crazy this game can be,” he said. “You have your highest highs, your lowest lows, but you have to stay the same person.” Saturday was the highest of highs for the slumping slugger. Schwarber hit his first career grand slam in the bottom of the seventh inning to rally the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the St. Louis

Cardinals. Schwarber, who entered batting .163 and was dropped to the ninth spot in the lineup, hit the first pitch of the at-bat from St. Louis starter Mike Leake (5-4) deep into the bleachers in left-center. “It was where we wanted to go, but it was slightly elevated and slightly over the plate too much for him,” Leake said. Javier Baez also homered for Chicago, which has won two straight following a sixgame losing streak. Yadier Molina homered and Jose Martinez had two RBIs for the Cardinals. Hector Rondon (1-1) pitched a scoreless seventh to earn the win. Wade Davis

got the final three outs for his 12th save. Leake, who entered leading the National League with a 2.24 ERA, allowed five runs and six hits in 62/3 innings. The Cardinals grabbed a

2-0 lead in the first inning off Cubs starter Jon Lester on a two-run broken bat single by Martinez. Leake retired the first six batters before Baez led off the third with a long homer to straightaway center to trim the lead in half. Molina got the run back in the sixth with a two-out solo shot to make it 3-1. That’s where it stayed until the bottom of the seventh. Jason Heyward and Willson Contreras each singled to put runners on first and third with one out. Leake then struck out Baez with a slider well off the plate and Please see CUBS | 11A

Predators rout Penguins 5-1, Pens lead series 2-1 BY TERESA M. WALKER Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Pekka Rinne and the Nashville Predators are very hard to beat on their own ice this postseason, and now they have added their biggest piece of franchise history yet. A victory in the Stanley Cup Final. The embattled Rinne not only started, he made 27 saves. Roman Josi and Fred-

erick Gaudreau scored 42 seconds apart in the second period, and the Predators beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 Saturday night to pull within 2-1 in the best-of-seven series. The Predators capped the biggest party in Nashville history with a victory that gave thousands of fans inside and outside of the arena reason to celebrate with even country star Keith Urban and

wife, actress Nicole Kidman, high-fiving . And credit Rinne for coming through with a very stingy performance and improving to 8-1 in Nashville this postseason. The Predators call the 6-foot-5 Finn their backbone, yet critics wanted him benched after looking so shaky in the first two games in Pittsburgh giving up eight goals on just 36 shots. Coach

Peter Laviolette benched him in the third period of Game 2 when Rinne gave up three goals in the first 3:28 of a 4-1 loss. Josi also had two assists. James Neal, Craig Smith and Mattias Ekholm also scored for Nashville as the Predators worked out some frustration against the Pens. “Like our team has done Please see CUP | 11A

Keselowski could ‘throw up’ over Busch’s mic drop The Associated Press

DOVER, Del. — Brad Keselowski is sick of the way Kyle Busch’s churlish behavior is often linked as an excuse for his desire to win. Keselowski criticized on Twitter this week those who applauded Busch’s curt sixword answer to a post-race question and mic drop and chalked up the response to Busch’s hate of losing . “When people go out and

write articles or the media comes out and says that’s a reflection of him having the most desire to win, it makes me want to throw up,” Keselowski said Saturday. “Not only is that a terrible message to send to anyone who’s aspiring to be a part of the sport, it’s a terrible message to send to anybody in general in this world, that it’s a reflection of your desire to win.” Busch, crushed after a run-

ner-up finish in the marquee Coca-Cola 600, conceded Friday that while everyone handles defeat in diﬀerent ways, “mine has never been very gracious.” Keselowski wrote on Twitter, “I was taught to hate losing by working harder next time, not by being disrespectful to others.” Keselowski, who has two wins headed into Sunday’s race at Dover International

Speedway, wants to send a positive message to his family and fans with gracious conduct in defeat. “When I look at teams and people in this sport they all want to be associated with those who have the strongest hunger and desires and passions to be successful. That’s natural. That includes myself,” he said. “That mesPlease see DROP | 11A

Your desire to win can be expressed in a lot of other ways that are productive.” Keselowski got into a brief Twitter spat with a Toyota executive (Busch’s car manufacturer) over the incident that seemed to steal the spotlight in a sport in need of headlines. Keselowski, the 2012

Cup champion, said Busch’s behavior can’t be excused away because his outbursts are almost as routine as his drives to the checkered flag. “You want to show me desire and passion to win, it’s when nobody is watching,” Keselowski said. “That’s what desire and passion is to win.” Keselowski would like to keep his desire to win with team owner Roger Penske going for a few more years. Keselowski’s contract is up this season and he said there’s “a lot of stuﬀ getting worked on” toward an extension.

Jake Guentzel scored his 13th goal this postseason and fourth of this series for Pittsburgh and now is one off Dino Ciccarelli’s rookie record of 14 in 1981 for Minnesota. Guentzel, already with two game-winning goals in the series, put the Penguins up 1-0 on their second shot with a wrister off a rebound of Ian Cole that beat Rinne just 2:46 into the game. Rinne stopped the next 26 shots for the victory and the party continued into the night.

Summerhays takes advantage Cavs try to adjust after Game 1 of Dufner’s third round collapse Associated Press

The Associated Press

DUBLIN, Ohio — Daniel Summerhays managed to walk a relatively straight and narrow path at the Memorial, and it took him to an unlikely position going into the final round. He started with a fiveshot deficit. He ended with a threeshot lead. All because the guy next to him Saturday, Jason Dufner, lost his way. Summerhays dropped only one shot and rarely was out of position on his way to a 4-under 68. More than his solid round was the collapse by Dufner. One day after he set the 36-hole scoring record, Dufner shot a 77 and was four shots behind. He made four straight bogeys on the front nine and lost his five-shot lead in five holes. He hit two balls in the water on the back nine. He missed the putts he had been making for two days. “Today was pretty pathetic on all accounts, so have to play better tomorrow,” he said. At least he was still in the game, along with plenty of company. Summerhays was at 13-under 203. Matt Kuchar, who won the Memorial four years ago, ran oﬀ three straight birdies on the back nine and shot a 67. That put him in the final group with Summerhays as Kuchar tries to end three years and 82 starts without a victory on the PGA Tour. “I’m excited to have another chance here,” Kuchar said. “It looked like after 36 holes that none of us were going to have a chance at it.” Bubba Watson overcame a heckler on the 18th hole with one last birdie for a 68. He was four shots behind along with Justin Thomas (69) and Dufner.

Rickie Fowler (72) salvaged an up-and-down day and was five behind. Watson turned and acknowledged the heckled after his birdie putt. “Obviously, not a Bubba Watson fan,” he said. “It started about 50 yards short of the green. He kept going. I’m taking a guess, he wasn’t drinking water like I was all day. But it’s one of those things.” This is a rare chance for Watson, the twotime Masters champion who hasn’t been a factor all year. He has gone 14 months without finishing in the top 10 at a PGA Tour event with a full field. But even for Watson, it all started with Dufner’s bad day. Dufner missed the second green to the left from the rough and made bogey. He missed a 6-foot par putt on the third, then hit into the right bunker on the par-3 4th and made another bogey. And then he three-putted the par-5 fifth for a fourth straight bogey. Dufner was still tied for the lead when his wedge on the par-5 11th spun back down the green and into the water, leading to double bogey. It was a three-shot swing when Summerhays made birdie, and Dufner never caught up. He had said his breathing exercises over putting didn’t mean he would always have good days, and this was a bad one. Dufner had a pair of three-putts, and he twice missed birdie putts from 6 feet. He capped oﬀ his day by pulling his tee shot into the water and making another bogey. “The tournament is not over,” Dufner said. “It will be over tomorrow.” Summerhays wasn’t thinking about cutting

into the lead when he started. He wasn’t thinking much about anything except the shot at hand, and he kept hitting good ones in the midst of Dufner’s streak of bogeys. “A train wreck can happen at any moment,” Summerhays said. “And that’s why it’s such a great golf course because it does test everything. Legitimately from the first hole to the 18th hole, there’s a double bogey somewhere in there.” Jordan Spieth knows the feeling. He was right in the mix until catching a downhill like in the bunker left of the par-3 eighth. He tried to play a perfect shot and barely got it out, then chipped down to 5 feet and missed the putt, making double bogey. Spieth started the back nine with two straight birdies only to follow with two straight bogeys. It added to a 71, and he was six shots behind. The biggest surprise this week at Muirfield Village has been the weather — sunshine for three straight days, which has made the course fast and opened up more possibilities of little mistakes turning into big numbers. Storms have been in the forecast for Sunday, though not early enough for the PGA Tour to move up the tee times. Another dry day, and anything can happen. The last three winners of the Memorial had never won on the PGA Tour, and Summerhays fits that mold. The 33-year-old from Utah is in his seventh year. “I really don’t have any goals tomorrow besides give all my eﬀorts into each shot,” Summerhays said. “And I feel like I did that today.”

Both teams were slow getting started offensively after long layoffs: nine days for Golden State, six for the Cavs. Cleveland shot 11 for 31 from long range and the Warriors 12 of 33. But Golden State hit 9 for 20 from deep in the second half on the way to 106 total shots — a jawdropping 20 more than the Cavs — while attacking at every chance when Cleveland just couldn’t keep up with Steph and KD. Draymond Green loved watching Durant do his thing with ease down the middle in his first Finals game for Golden State. “Going into the game I know what their game plan is, and it’s to take the 3 away,” Green said. “Now to say that you’re going to get that many open lanes, you can’t forecast that. You can’t go into the game saying, ‘Oh, KD is going to have six driving lanes to the rim and where don’t get touched and he dunks. You just can’t forecast that.” James, in his seventh straight Finals, has a remarkable run of having won at least one game on the road in 29 straight postseason series. On Sunday, King James will try to make it 30. “We had a lot of unforced turnovers. Some of them were from aggression,” James said. “I had two charges, that’s aggression. I can take those. But also had some when I got caught in the air and tried to make some skip passes and they were able to pick them off. Those are like pick sixes.” “That’s like throwing the ball to Deion Sanders. Most of the time it’s going to be a touchdown going the other way.”

Taking care of the ball will be equally important after that became a major problem in the opener for Cleveland, which committed 20 turnovers in an uncharacteristically sloppy game. The 13-0 Warriors are on a roll and matched a Finals low with only four turnovers, and if Klay Thompson finds his shooting touch at last it could be another tough day on defense for the Cavs. They want to get physical, contest shots, somehow find a way to get Golden State out of its groove. “Effort, effort, yep,” Kyrie Irving said matter-of-factly. “And our ability to make sure that when we’re mismatched in transition, that the only thing that matters is stopping the basketball and settling down in the half court, then we match up from there.” Durant and Curry combined for 66 points and 18 assists, moving the Warriors three straight wins from becoming the first team to go unbeaten on the way to a title. Not that they’re discussing it. While Cleveland searches for the right adjustments, Golden State’s roster of perfectionists believes it can play far better still with KD and Steph leading the way, or any of the others who are capable of getting hot in a hurry. “It’s going to be a wrestling match down there, and you have to keep it going and make it tough for them and just try to wear them out,” said Cavs center Tristan Thompson, held scoreless in the opener. The Warriors are plenty confident even if Cleveland closes out on the perimeter.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Tyronn Lue has a new No. 1 priority for LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals: Stop the ball. First and foremost, then make sure Golden State’s sharpshooters have a hand in their face. Translation: Do anything and everything possible to stop Kevin Durant from driving through the paint and dunking at will with nobody even around him. “Well, I’m pretty sure that won’t happen tomorrow,” Durant said with a grin Saturday. “They will be way more physical. They’re going to be way more aggressive in the pickand-roll on the offensive end and defensively. They’re going to try to get their 3-point shooters going and rebound the ball. They’re going to try to get more offensive rebounds. They’re just going to muck the game up and be physical.” That’s the plan for the defending champions Sunday night and will be key if they want to even the best-of-seven series and look respectable after the Warriors whipped them 113-91 Thursday night. Durant scored 38 points and dunked easily, six times in the first half alone and many of which he went untouched to the rim. “We can’t let Durant get easy baskets like that,” Lue said as his team practiced at Warriors headquarters amid a media frenzy. “With him being probably one of the best scorers in the NBA, you can’t give guys like that easy opportunities at the basket.”

‘Broken Road’ is a story of fine character study and life lessons BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

The road is a long one. Like most, it’s rarely smooth and straight. Signs warn of curves and detours ahead, rough terrain, and rest stops for the weary; there are potholes, and jagged asphalt. And in “The Broken Road “ by Richard Paul Evans, there are many side roads to be explored. The man in the diner looked familiar. On his journey along Route 66, Evans never expected to see someone he recognized. Still, he knew that guy, had seen him on TV, so Evans approached him, indulged in a bit of small-talk, and learned that his instincts were right: there, in a diner on the edge of the Mojave Desert , sat a dead man. Grizzled and sunburned, but recognizable as the con man he’d once been, Charles James was unashamed. He even agreed to talk, to tell the truth… and so he began. Growing up, he said, it was a rare day when someone in the family wasn’t beaten. That someone was usually him, and it happened until James stood up to his father, turned the tables, and then left Utah on an L.A.-bound Greyhound. On the way to California , he met a girl who showed him what life could be like, and she helped him find a job. That job allowed him to gain self-confidence and experience, and a reputation for being a hard worker. He also had an eye for opportunity, so when someone invited him to a get-rich seminar,

Author Richard Paul Evans weaves an engaging tale in his latest novel.

Readers who may find Evans’ other books too sappy will be happy to know that in this modified rags-to-riches story, there’s not a lot of romance and no snow; in fact, this book begins on the edge of a desert, and it mostly features a complicated man who’s chased by the demons of his past. James knew he’d found his dream job. He started by volunteering with the organization, and worked his way up as a valuable salesman, then a motivational speaker for a product he knew to be a scam. He became incredibly wealthy, then betrayed his mentor for even more riches. Soon, he’d gained the thing he wanted but lost what he loved. He couldn’t

rest. He couldn’t sleep without nightmares, and had been seeing a therapist. She helped him understand where his life was heading. She helped him see where his next step should be…. When I got “The Broken Road,” I had to check the calendar, and it’s not December. Author Richard Paul Evans even admits in

this novel that he usually writes Christmassy stories, but this isn’t one of those. It’s better. Readers who may find Evans’ other books too sappy will be happy to know that in this modified rags-to-riches story, there’s not a lot of romance and no snow; in fact, this

book begins on the edge of a desert, and it mostly features a complicated man who’s chased by the demons of his past. Yes, there’s a woman involved, but she’s only a catalyst in the tale; a supporting actress, if you will. The man himself and his immediate circle comprise

the meat of this novel, and rightfully so: they are some of Evans’ best characters. This book will appeal to his fans, but it should also attract new ones, too, because it’s really quite different. Novel readers of almost any genre will find “The Broken Road” to be pretty smooth.
