Panel weighs infrastructure issues BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
(Editors note: This is the third of a five part series to be presented each Sunday on the task forces set up by the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County.) The Commission on the Future of Alcorn County originally setup the Infrastructure Task Force to create a master list for each area of current
infrastructure and to develop strategies to address areas of concern. In the beginning, co-chairs Gary Chandler, Alliance president, and Ben Albarracin, Corinth city alderman, put in place a long term strategy to meet quarterly to review the master list of projects as well as address ongoing needs. “We have met with the heads of local utilities to determine the sta-
tus of ongoing projects and issues,� said Chandler. “From that we have been able to develop a master list of projects and ongoing needs and issues. We have also developed a plan on how we can help address these ongoing needs and issues.� With ACE Power, the task force learned of several ongoing projects including the new prepay program for residential customers.
“Over 900 members signed up for this program in its first year,� said Chandler. “The program allows customers to pay more frequently instead of waiting till the end of the month. Customers are able to track their usage and reduce their usage under the program.� The task force learned about Please see TASK FORCE | 6A

Commit to Completion Kurt Volking of Booneville, Northeast Mississippi Community College sophomore and Phi Theta Kappa co-vice president of scholarship, signs the Commit to Completion wall during Northeast’s Iota Zeta chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society’s “Commit to Completion Day” held in April. Northeast’s “Commit to Completion Day” is part of a Phi Theta Kappa initiative of the international office that serves to get students to pledge to complete their college degrees. Northeast’s Phi Theta Kappa gave away free pizza, and “Community College Completion Corps” bracelets to help raise awareness for the cause. In addition to raising awareness, Northeast’s Phi Theta Kappa also made the event a fun and exciting chance for the student body to interact with volleyball for those in attendance. Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is the largest honor society in American higher education with 1,250 chapters on two-year and community college campuses in all 50 of the United States, Canada, Germany, the Republic of Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial possessions. More than two million students have been inducted since its founding in 1918, with approximately 100,000 students inducted annually. Recognized by the American Association of Community Colleges, Phi Theta Kappa is the official honor society of two-year colleges. Northeast’s Iota Zeta is a five-star chapter, the highest rating attainable.

“It is no exaggeration to say that no other individual has accomplished more for historic preservation in our state then Mrs. Rosemary,” added Mangus. “She is certainly a most deserving recipient of this distinguished SCV statewide award.” Williams also assisted in the planning stages
on the construction of the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center and currently manages the ongoing renovation of the historic VerandahCurlee House. “Corinth’s successful efforts to preserve the properties associated with the Siege and Battle of Corinth have been one of the most important efforts in Mis-
sissippi History,” said Mississippi Department of Archives and History Director Hank Holmes. “The people of America are in debt to Mrs. Williams for her efforts.” In 2013, the Mississippi SCV honored another Corinth native withe the preservation award. William “Buddy” Ellis was given the award last year.

JACKSON — Haley Barbour almost certainly isn’t running for office again in Mississippi, but the former governor, onetime Republican National Committee chief and influential Washington lobbyist is playing a prominent role in the state’s battle for the GOP Senate nomination. Barbour is the patriarch of a politically savvy family driving Sen. Thad Cochran’s bid for a seventh
term. Challenger Chris McDaniel and his tea party allies are holding up the GOP elder statesman as more proof that Cochran is little more than a creature of Washington. The candidates, neither of whom won the GOP nomination outright in the primary this month, are fighting it out ahead of a June 24 runoff. “Haley Barbour is supposed to be all-powerful, but he’s losing a race in
his own backyard,” said Barney Keller, a spokesman for the Club for Growth, which has spent $2.5 million backing McDaniel. “And his influence business in Washington will take a big hit when he no longer has a Mississippi senator in his back pocket.” The former governor shot back that the Washington-based activist groups are trying to hijack the election for their own gain.

Kenyon has been the guide dog for the University of North Alabama student for two years. Pittman, the daughter of Randall and Ellon Pittman, got Kenyon through the Guide Dogs for the Blind organization in Boring, Oregon. “It was interesting at first,” said Pittman, a Kossuth High School graduate. “I had to adjust to him leading me around things instead of feeling my way around.” Being legally blind hasn’t slowed down the Interdisciplinary Studies major. Three days a week she helps kids who struggle with reading at the Boys Club. “She walked in one day and asked ‘what can I do to help,’” said club unit director Christy Grice. “I was a little concerned about the dog, but Kelly has taught us all so much.” Pittman, also minoring in Elementary Education, came to the club to work on her Child and Family Life Educator training. “This is a great opportunity for not only her, but the kids here to be exposed to something different,” added Grice. “The kids haven’t acted any different and Kenyon doesn’t mind them at all.” The UNA student, who is set to graduate in December, has been dealing with the blindness for over 10 years. “My immune system went haywire and attacked the optic nerve when I was 11,” she said. “It was difficult being legally blind at that age.”

Perkins remains in Marion County, Ala., in custody. Prentiss County authorities will extradite Perkins at some point to face the Mississippi charges, Tolar said. The stolen pickup and the guns were recovered. Perkins was also under supervision by the Mississippi Department of Corrections and will be held for revocation proceedings pending his return to Mississippi. “This was a great job on everyone’s part in solving this case,” Tolar said. A co-defendant in the Monroe County case was arrested on County Road 5005 during the Monday incident last week and was taken into custody, transported to the Prentiss County Jail and later transfered to Monroe County.
Unemployment falls in Prentiss County BOONEVILLE — Unemployment in the county nosedived in April, matching a major state-
wide drop in unemployment. Prentiss County’s unemployment rate fell 1.2 percent, from 8.6 percent in March to 7.4 percent for April according to the latest figures released by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. The number of people employed in the county rose from 9,540 in March to 9,630 in April while the number filing for unemployment benefits fell from 900 in March to 780 in April.

Prentiss fugitive held in Alabama A Belden man who fled from Prentiss County law enforcement officers was taken into custody in Alabama last week. Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar said Prentiss County Deputies attempted Monday afternoon, June 2, to serve a felony arrest warrant that had been issued out of Monroe County on Ryan Patrick Perkins, 24, of Belden. Perkins fled into a wooded area on County Road 5005 when deputies tried to apprehend him on the arrest warrant. “At some point thereafter Perkins broke into a nearby house and stole six guns and articles of clothing along with a 2002 GMC pickup parked at the home,” Tolar said. “Perkins was apprehended within hours in Marion County, Ala., when he attempted to sell the stolen guns.” The arrest was made by the Marion County sheriff and deputies. Perkins faces multiple
power lines. Several large trees near the Burnsville school football field were damaged by high winds. Signs along U.S. Highway 72 in the Burnsville city limits also suffered damage from the storms.

Corinth, Miss.
Ready for Hillary? I expected nothing but effusive praise from major media for Hillary Clinton’s new book, “Hard Choices,” much like the mass exaltation it showered on Barack Obama, America’s first African-American president. Initially that seemed where the reviews were headed. Prior to the book’s official release June 10, the “journalCal ists” on CBS “This Morning” Thomas spent nine minutes of barely restrained excitement promotColumnist ing Clinton’s book. Host Charlie Rose called it “a portrait of doggedness.” CBS News political director John Dickerson said the book portrays “a hardworking person who flew all around the world grinding it out.” Dickerson added, “The volume of this book is meant in a political context to suggest that the voters can put the world in her hands. She sees the complexity and understands it.” For reasons yet to be determined -- maybe they read the book; I admit I’ve only read excerpts at this point — the liberal worms began to turn. Dickerson subsequently reversed himself, calling the book “a risk-free telling of Clinton’s world travels” and a “low-salt, lowfat, low-calorie offering with vanilla pudding as the dessert. She goes on at great length, but not great depth.” David Ignatius, a foreign policy writer for The Washington Post, said Mrs. Clinton “is seen as hesitant to take big risks,” and “There are times when the reader feels he is being spun, rather than enlightened,” and “In these many hundreds of pages, there are very few deals concluded, agreements signed, policies brought to fruition.” Ignatius added that Mrs. Clinton is “well-stocked with campaign bromides.” Last Sunday’s Washington Post published a poll that showed 59 percent of those interviewed have a favorable view of Clinton’s leadership as secretary of state. Yet no one seems able to cite any real accomplishments. When asked a few weeks ago in a news conference about Clinton’s accomplishments, Jen Psaki, the State Department’s chief spokesperson, couldn’t answer. Psaki returned the next day loaded with “examples,” which seemed to have been prepared for her by a Clinton operative. Still, the examples did not impress. The Republican National Committee has provided a counterpoint to Hillary Clinton’s book, giving it the cheeky title “Bad Choices.” It compiles what diplomats, commentators and even a few media people have said about her. Surprisingly, NBC political director Chuck Todd (a former aide to Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa) said: “Frankly, many of the issues from her time at the department have either stayed bad, or gotten worse.” Former Bill Clinton adviser Douglas Schoen wrote in The Wall Street Journal last December: “Another major obstacle is Mrs. Clinton’s foreign policy record: She can point to no significant accomplishments as secretary of state.” Curiously, writes Byron York, columnist for the Washington Examiner, the book ignores Hillary’s brief Senate career, perhaps because its one distinguishing mark was her vote in favor of George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. She now says that vote was a “mistake.” Senators have a bigger margin for error than presidents. If she runs, it will be difficult, but not impossible, for a male Republican candidate to debate and defeat her. In addition to being supported by much of the media (trust me, they’ll come around), she will have the support of a substantial number of women just because of the historical factor. A too-aggressive approach by a male opponent might inflame those women who think she is a martyr for putting up with her philandering husband. Still, a Republican male candidate might gain traction if he points out that we will be finishing two terms of a president who has mastered style over substance. Can we really afford another when we face so many problems, not to mention Hillary’s poor track record as first lady (health care defeated), secretary of state (a frequent flyer but little else) and senator (nothing)? “Ready for Hillary” is the name of an “unauthorized” super PAC formed by Clinton supporters last January. The assumption is that we’ll answer in the affirmative. But given her abysmal record, if that is what she’s being judged on, we’re definitely not ready.
Prayer for today My Father, if rain may come to-day, may I realize its help, with the power of the sun, to increase life; and may its influence be sweet and wholesome to me, as I learn that sadness is temporary and will disappear with the coming of gladness. May I go search for the joy that may be mine to-day. Amen.
A verse to share And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. — John 1:14
A populist path to power? “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.” If Thomas Jefferson’s benign reflection on Shays’ Rebellion, that uprising of farmers in 1786 and 1787, is not the first thought that comes to mind today for his fellow Virginian Eric Cantor, surely it is understandable. For the rebellious subjects of the 7th Congressional District just voted to end Cantor’s career as House majority leader. Many lessons are being read into and taken away from Cantor’s defeat. But that election has also revealed a populist path, both to the Republican nomination in 2016 and perhaps to the presidency. For what were the elements of Randolph-Macon College professor Dave Brat’s victory and of Cantor’s defeat? First, the perception that Cantor was willing to do a deal with Barack Obama to provide a partial amnesty to illegal immigrants — while the media provided wall-towall coverage of the latest invasion across our southern border — proved devastating. Talk radio, led by Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin, pounded Cantor on the issue of illegal immigration, the emotive power of which our Beltway elites will never understand. For like Eurocrats, the
leaders of our Beltway parties call to mind the “sophisters” and “calculators” of Edmund Patrick Burke’s deBuchanan piction. They do Columnist not understand people of the heart to whom illegal and mass immigration means the disappearance of the country they grew up in and the dispossession of their children of what is most precious to them. Then there is populism. Cantor spent $5 million, an astonishing sum in a congressional primary, 50 times what Brat spent. Yet he only reinforced his image as a poodle of Wall Street and K Street. Of the bank bailout that Cantor supported, Brat was brutally effective. “All the investment banks up in New York and D.C. ... those guys should have gone to jail. But instead of going to jail ... they went onto Eric’s Rolodex. ... And they’re sending him big checks.” Anti-establishment, outsider, defender of national borders — these were the cards Brat was holding, even if he had little money or organized support. In the endless struggle between populism and the establishment and between nationalists and internationalists, populists and nationalists appear, at least temporarily, to be in the as-
cendancy worldwide. Vladimir Putin’s approval is over 80 percent. Why? He stands for national sovereignty and the rights of Russians, wherever they may be. And in hearing his claim that Crimea is Russia’s, are there not echoes of Reaganite nationalism in the Panama Canal debate: “We bought it. We paid for it. It’s ours. And we’re gonna keep it.” The nationalist card is also being played by Beijing with its claim, wildly popular in China, to all of the islands in the East China and South China seas. And nationalism is being invoked by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in calling for rearmament and amending Japan’s pacifist constitution. Cantor’s defeat seems certain to halt any Republican move to accommodate Obama on amnesty. Should House Speaker John Boehner try to move ahead on even partial amnesty, says Rep. Steve King of Iowa, it “would blow up the caucus.” Consider, then, the political terrain six months before the preseason of 2016 begins. According to every national poll, Americans believe that our country is on the wrong course, that it is less respected than it has ever been abroad and that our children and their children will most likely not know the good life that we have had. Americans disapprove of the president and have little
confidence in either party or in Congress. Few believe that the government is as well-run as it was in World War II or when Ike was creating the federal highway system or America was sending astronauts to the moon. The landscape looks inhospitable for establishment candidates, such as Jeb Bush, who says illegal aliens crossing our border are engaging in an “act of love” and who is a proud and principal promoter of the Common Core curriculum being imposed on the nation’s schools. Nor does the terrain seem favorable for former first lady Hillary Clinton. Though she may have had to scratch and claw her way out of debt and destitution when she and her husband were “dead broke,” she is seen nationally, and not incorrectly, as the queen of the establishment, someone who banks six-figure fees for half-hour lectures. No two people ever milked a political office for more than these two have milked the presidency of the United States. And no two people are more wired in to the Hollywood, Wall Street and Washington elites. If Jeb and Hillary are both in the lists in 2016, it will be God’s gift to pitchfork populists. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”
Amnesty lite is still amnesty Not since a 42-to-1 underdog named Buster Douglas knocked out undefeated heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in 1990 has there been an upset like economics professor Dave Brat defeating House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the Republican primary in Virginia. You couldn’t write a script like this for a movie and have it be believable. Congressman Eric Cantor, with all kinds of name recognition, and outspending his opponent by 5 million dollars to $100,000, lost 55 percent to 45 percent against somebody that virtually nobody ever heard of before. Polls, incidentally, had predicted that Cantor would defeat Brat 62 percent to 28 percent. To add a touch of absolute fantasy to the story, Dave Brat’s Democratic opponent this fall is another professor at the same Randolph-Macon College where Professor Brat teaches. Who would believe that in a movie? In the end, all of this will be just a curious footnote to what this election means to the Republican Party and — more important — to the country at large.

To those in the media who see everything as just a contest — a “horse race,” Thomas as they say Sowell — between different inColumnist dividuals and factions, this is being reported as a victory of the Tea Party over the Republican establishment. One of the encouraging things about Professor Brat is that he apparently does not see it that way. He says that he is for the same principles as other Republicans, but that he believes in putting those principles into practice. Unlike those Republicans on either the establishment side or the Tea Party side who are preoccupied with their internal party battles, Dave Brat is focused on the issues confronting this country at a crucial juncture in history and with the immediate task of defeating the Democrats in this fall’s election. A key issue in this campaign was amnesty for illegal immigrants. Apparently the Republican leadership in the House of Represen-
tatives -- which is to say, House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor — thinks that amnesty is not amnesty if you call it “immigration reform” and toss in some figleaf requirements before the amnesty kicks in. Immigration laws are the only laws that are discussed almost entirely in terms of what can be done to help those who have broken the law. Some want to help a little and some want to help a lot. But amnesty lite is still amnesty. Some people seem to think that amnesty is not amnesty if you throw in requirements for citizenship. Amnesty is not some esoteric concept. It means that you are not going to be punished for breaking the law -and that simply brings laws into contempt. Denying citizenship is not a punishment because crossing the border illegally does not entitle you to citizenship. There is no requirement for either amnesty or for citizenship that President Obama cannot ignore or dilute unilaterally, as he has ignored or diluted existing immigration laws, as well as other laws. Barack Obama is the biggest reason to pass

no immigration “reform” laws until after he is gone. It doesn’t matter what immigration policies you believe in if you don’t control your borders -- and the vast numbers of minors flooding across our borders today show that the Obama administration has no intention of controlling the borders. They are more concerned with controlling the border guards and ordering them not to take pictures that show the public what is happening. If you are serious about controlling the borders, then you pass laws to control the borders first. Some years later, after you can see whether the border has been controlled or not -- you can start discussing what our national immigration laws should be. Otherwise, “comprehensive” immigration reform means granting some form of amnesty up front and promising to control the border later. How many more times are we going to fall for that bait and switch fraud? Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

Governor seeks U.S. help in transit strike PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett is asking President Barack Obama to intervene in the Philadelphia transit strike. Corbett said Saturday that he asked Obama to appoint an emergency board to mediate the dispute between the Southeast Pennsylvania Transportation Authority and its engineers and electricians unions. They went on strike earlier in the day. The Republican governor says it’s imperative that management and labor continue negotiating for the benefit of the tens of thousands of commuters in the Philadelphia region who rely on SEPTA’s 13 trains that connect the city and its suburbs.
Army: Bergdahl was not joined by family SAN ANTONIO — When Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl arrived back in the United States following five years of captivity by the Taliban in Afghanistan, he wasn’t joined by his family, military officials say. Bergdahl was brought to Texas from an Army medical facility in Germany, where he had been recovering. Maj. Gen. Joseph P. DiSalvo, who greeted Bergdahl early Friday upon his arrival, said he exchanged a few words with Bergdahl after a three-vehicle convoy met him. Army officials would not say when Bergdahl’s relatives might
show up at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston.
Obama: Natives need more help CANNON BALL, N.D. — President Barack Obama says the relationship between the U.S. government and tribal nations is stronger today than ever. But he says there’s much more to do to help Native Americans. Obama is attending a powwow on a Native American reservation in North Dakota. It’s his first visit to Indian Country as president. Obama is promoting the need to help reservations create jobs, strengthen justice, and improve health and education. He says young people should be able to live, work and raise a family on the land of their fathers and mothers.
Judge puts gay marriages on hold MADISON, Wis. — A federal judge on Friday put same-sex marriages in Wisconsin on hold, a week after she struck down the state’s same-sex marriage ban as unconstitutional, a move that allowed more than 500 couples to wed over the last eight days. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb’s ruling Friday means that gay marriages will end while the appeal from Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is pending. Couples who were in the middle of the five-day waiting period

to get a license, which most counties waived, are caught in limbo. Van Hollen requested Crabb put her ruling on hold, arguing that allowing the marriages while the underlying case was pending created confusion about the legality of those marriages. In her order, Crabb expressed mixed feelings. “After seeing the expressions of joy on the faces of so many newly wedded couples featured in media reports, I find it difficult to impose a stay on the event that is responsible for eliciting that emotion, even if the stay is only temporary,� Crabb said in her order. “However, a federal district court is required to follow the guidance provided by the Supreme Court.�
Country singer Perry weds in Tennessee NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Band Perry’s lead singer Kimberly Perry has married professional baseball player J.P. Arencibia near her family’s home in Greeneville, Tennessee. A publicist for the band confirmed the wedding occurred Thursday. According to The Greeneville Sun, the couple was married at a small chapel in the heart of the town’s historic district and fellow country star Carrie Underwood was spotted at the wedding. Arencibia had been the regular catcher for Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish but was optioned to the minors in May.

Former lawmaker, son die in car crash JACKSON — Former Mississippi lawmaker Jay Disharoon and son, Jamie, died this week in a fatal accident on Interstate 20 in Jackson. Memorial services were held for the two Saturday in Jackson. The Highway Patrol says the 65-year-old Disharoon and his 27-yearold son died Tuesday when their car ran off the highway and crashed into a tree. Disharoon was a Claiborne County Democrat when he served one House term from 197680 and two Senate terms from 1980-88.
2 sentenced in fatal 2012 prison riot NATCHEZ — Two inmates have been sentenced in federal court in Natchez for participating in a deadly prison riot in Mississippi in 2012. One guard was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20, 2012, riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, which holds immigrants convicted of crimes while being in the U.S. illegally. Prosecutors say Margarito Munoz-Astello was sentenced this week to 84 months in federal prison, and Raybel Granillo was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison. Another inmate, Ian Reid, pleaded guilty plea to rioting in a federal prison facility. He will be sentenced Sept. 11. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Man, 61, dead after shooting in Gulfport
Forrest County constable dies
GULFPORT — Police say an armed 61-yearold man was shot and killed Friday night in an exchange of gunfire with Gulfport officers. Police Sgt. Damon McDaniel says Gulfport officers responded to a “shots fired� call at 10:13 p.m. Friday and engaged a man in the residence driveway. Mississippi Bureau of Investigations spokesman Warren Strain said says the mas has been identified as Frank Rhodes. Strain says Rhodes fired on the officers and was killed during the exchange.
HATTIESBURG — Forrest County Constable Wayne Taylor has died at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg from complications of a heart attack. He was 59. A memorial service will announced later. Board of Supervisors President David Hogan says in a statement that Taylor was serving his third term. Hogan says Taylor had suffered a heart attack last weekend and was in the hospital when he died. Taylor began working with the Forrest County Sheriff’s Department after graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1977 before being elected constable.
Ex-DMR head to be sentenced Monday HATTIESBURG — The former director of the state Department of Marine Resources will be sentenced Monday in federal court in Hattiesburg. The Sun Herald reports the attorney for Bill Walker has asked U.S. District Keith Starrett for leniency. Walker faces up to 60 months in prison. Walker’s attorney says in the motion filed Friday that Walker doesn’t have any prior record and Walker pleaded guilty to a non-violent crime. Walker pleaded guilty in February to conspiring to defraud the federal government. Walker admitted he conspired with his son, Scott, and a former MDMR manager to spend $210,000 in federal money granted through DMR on property Scott Walker owned.
Summit puts limits on doctor offices SUMMIT — Summit officials have declared a moratorium on new doctor offices along the town’s main business thoroughfare. The Town Council’s decision came after Dr. Jennifer Gholson bought the former Golden Hushpuppy restaurant building at the corner of Robb Street and U.S. Highway 51 to comply with an ordinance requiring doctors to have five parking spaces per employee. Seeing a potential for doctors’ offices to take parking spaces from retailers — a source of sales tax dollars — the council decided to limit medical facilities on Robb Street and review ordinances covering them.

“Both AT&T and C Spire currently offer some kind of broadband service to businesses in the area. Regarding wireless data, all major carries now offer 4G service in some parts of our area.” The team has acted on several key action items in the area including the recent C Spire Fiber to the Home initiative. “Our community has an unprecedented opportunity to gain significant speed and capacity with Fiber to the Home,” he said. “The speed associated with this service is 1 gigabyte per second or 100 times faster than our current local connections.” The task force receives
updates from the city on infrastructure projects, as well, including storm water drainage, roads and sidewalks, airport and beautification. “Many infrastructure upgrades, specifically water, sewer, natural gas, electric power and surface transportation improvements, have either been completed in recent years or are in the works now,” added Chandler. “We see upgrades in speed and capacity with our broadband Internet infrastructure as another fundamental component to better position Corinth and Alcorn County to compete in today’s economic development climate.”

Evidence in officer’s death to be reviewed Associated Press
FULTON — An Itawamba County grand jury will review the findings of an investigation into the death of a Mississippi wildlife officer in May. Authorities also say toxicology reports show the blood of the 19-yearold arrested after the death of Sgt. John Collum was not impaired on the night of the incident. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the Itawamba County Sheriff’s Department released the findings Thursday. Charles “Cody” Weaver was charged with negligent homicide after his Nissan Sentra struck and killed Collum about 10 p.m. on May 9. Sheriff Chris Dickinson said Collum was helping deputies investigate a report of a prowler on John Rankin Highway north of Fulton when he was hit by
the car. Weaver’s blood was sent to NMS Labs in Pennsylvania for testing. The sheriff said those tests came back clean. Dickinson said the charge of negligent homicide will be dropped. He said evidence from the case will be presented to a grand jury next week. He said the grand jury will then decide whether or not Weaver faces any further charges. Dickinson said he is satisfied with the outcome of the investigation. “Any time someone is killed and there are a lot of question marks, it’s a bad situation,” Dickinson said. “We are at the point that we are satisfied that it was an accident that took place that night, not a homicide.” Weaver is currently out of jail on a $200,000 bond.
FESTIVAL CONTINUED FROM 1A
will give folks other things to do on Saturday before the eating competition and entertainment that night.” Coombs said the decision to add a Green Market style event to the festival was an easy one. “We’re not trying to steal anything away from the Green Market, just trying to build on the success they have,” said Coombs. “I have talked to several vendors who will be setting up at the Green Market on July 5, then setting up at the Slug Market on July 12. They’re happy to have two event offerings on backto-back weekends.” The Slug Market will take place from 10 a.m., until 2 p.m., in the parking lot area of the C.A.R.E. Garden. All products sold must be handcrafted or grown by the applicant. Vendor setup is $10. “By doing the Slug Market all day Saturday, our hope is to keep people downtown,” added Coombs. “Hopefully they will shop in our boutiques and eat in our restaurants while downtown.” The Miss Slugburger Festival Pageant is another new addition to the lineup. “It’s going to be pretty neat to have our own Miss Slugburer,” said Coombs. The pageant, set for 10 a.m., on July 12, will be held at the Corinth Theatre-Arts building on Fulton Drive. Coombs said the popular PBJ Happee Days Carnival will return this year. The carnival will be setup in the clock parking lot on the corner of Cruise and Fillmore Streets. “We try to never disappoint by offering a wide range of entertainment during the festival,” said
Coombs. “This year is no different.” On Thursday night, the fan favorite Garrett Eye Clinic’s Slug Idol returns, followed by North Mississippi based group Twenty Mile. Friday night will feature Aaron Vance, Jason D. Williams and Corinth-based group Prowler. The festival wraps up Saturday night with entertainment from the Mink Brothers Band, Law of Nature and Dr. Zarr’s Amazing Funk Monster. The 3rd Annual World Slugburger Eating Championship returns on July 11 offering up $3,000 in total cash prizes. “The eating competition will be fabulous,” said Coombs. “I will be eating again this year and competing along side professionals from all over the world.” Known as “The Boss” to her fellow eating competitors, Coombs said she’s ready to give the professionals a run for their money when it comes to eating slugs. “I have a lot of practice,” she said. Last year at the Major League Eating event, more than 1,000 people witnessed Matthew “Megatoad” Stonie down 31 slugburgers in 10 minutes to win the event. “The eating competition really helps set the festival apart,” said Coombs. “It’s really the highlight of the entire three-day event.” (For festival, Slug Idol or Slug Market information, contact Coombs at 662-287-1550 or visit slugburgerfestival. com.

Life lessons learned from father’s toolbox The Red Toolbox is now mine. An open wooden rectangle, cobbled together from leftover scraps of previous projects, it’s not too big. Made for use, it has a round dowel handle, easy to grab and go. That old box has been a part of my world for so long that I have no idea when my dad made it. The red paint’s worn a bit chippy from decades of projects and repairs, a disconcerting number of those at our house. “Go get my hammer out of the toolbox.” “Put the toolbox in the truck.” “Leave that tape measure in the toolbox.” The thing was ever present. I grew up and grew older with it. Oh, sure, there was a bigger toolbox, also handmade, but The Red Toolbox was the go-to box with the dependable basics: Daddy’s favorite hammer, nails and screws, heavy duty tape measure, a couple of crescent wrenches, several screwdrivers, nail set, small chisel, pliers, scissors, those flat carpenters’ pencils that intrigued me as a child, and a couple of
last-minute items that got tossed in. Daddy always kept a few tools Jaylene in his veWhitehurst hicles, a set of wrenchColumnist es and a s c r e w driver. But if he was going out of town, The Red Toolbox rode in the back. Just in case… His toolbox and his workshop were basic to my image of him and the foundation of how I knew the man. I called on him to fix everything because I thought he could. As a son of the Depression and sharecropping parents, keeping tools and machinery in repair was a way of life that stayed with him. Giving care to what he had was a ritual of appreciation for the use of what God had given Daddy. He attended to what he used. Keeping things in good shape was his giving back; fixing what was broken was his creativity. Leaving things in better shape than he found them was
his “Thank you.” He was a simple man and it was simply the right thing to do. In my own life, attending to brokenness took a different form. I became a counselor, an attendant to the pain of being human. Caring for brokenness calls upon a common wisdom, whether it’s a human spirit grown dry or a hinge, un-oiled and rusting. Both creak for attention, habitually and loudly. Wisdom doesn’t rush the process of caring. Daddy brought to his projects what he brought to his life: practicality, confidence that he could figure out a solution to whatever was awry, and a worrisome stubbornness that left me thinking he was determined to get hurt rather than get help. The man would look at a problem inside out and upside down with a dogged determination that wore my scant patience threadbare. It was exactly that tenacity that had him putting a motor in a car when he was eighty-one because he’d never done
that before but he thought he could, if he took his time. And he did. Clearly, when it comes to a model for dealing with whatever is broken in this experience of being human, I don’t have to look far. Daddy never jotted down a list of rules. Like so many of his generation, he didn’t need to. These tenets were simply how he lived: 1. Be sure your foundation is solid. Fix it if it’s not. 2. Get familiar with the problem you’re tackling. Look closely. Look at problems from every angle. Get down on your hands and knees. 3. If small repairs need to be done before the big job, do them. There are no shortcuts. It’s time well spent. 4. In painting or staining, do the prep work. Prepare the surface to be receptive. You’ll regret it if you don’t. 5. Keep The Red Toolbox handy. You never know which tools you might need. Put the tools back in it when finished. 6. Buy the best quality
materials you can afford. 7. Seeing a job as a puzzle of small pieces makes it manageable. Oh, and lay the pieces out in the order you removed them so you know where they go. Every piece has its place. 8. When a job isn’t coming together, take a break. Go work on something else awhile, even a little task. It’s good to accomplish something, even if it’s not what you intended. 9. If that still doesn’t help, do the best thing you can come up with at the moment. If it doesn’t work, you can rule one thing out. 10. Have good resources: make friends of the guys at the local hardware store and garage. The folks at Biggers’s Hardware and the Gilmore boys are your friends. 11. Good tools make the job easier. Keep them sharp and dry. Never put tools away dirty. Absolutely never! 12. Fixing one board saves a whole wall later. Do the job while it’s small. 13. There are times, when in spite of your
best efforts, repairs won’t hold. The original is simply too worn to work with. That’s when it’s time to let it go and start fresh. And 14. ALWAYS clean up after yourself. The job’s not finished until the floor is swept. No, Daddy, you had no need to jot them down. You were living them. And I was watching. Happy Father’s Day, J.C.

Food companies work on sustainability BY DAVID PITT Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Some big food makers are getting serious about making sure farmers grow crops in ways that minimize damage to water, soil and the environment, according to a report released Wednesday that called for more companies to demand sustainable supplies. Companies including Walmart, Coca-Cola, General Mills, and Unilever have taken steps to work with suppliers on environmental improvements, the report said, but added that measurable goals and firm deadlines are necessary to make real improvements. The report from Ceres, a Boston-based nonprof-
it network of investors, companies and public interest groups, focused on climate change’s effect on corn production. It said farmers and the companies they supply must address drought and other weather extremes, an increase in groundwater depleting irrigation, and more fertilizer use. “Climate change and pressures on water supplies pose financial risk to our agricultural industry but it’s not just the corn belt’s problem,” said Brooke Barton, co-author of the report. “Companies that depend on U.S. corn have a big role to play in sending market signals that these issues matter,” she said. General Mills, CocaCola and Unilever, have

all been working with Ceres and have adopted sustainability programs setting specific goals that suppliers and farmers must meet if they want to continue selling ingredients to the corporations. The report calls on companies to establish goals to reduce their environmental impact, develop procurement contracts that require sustainably grown crops, and make efforts to identify areas of high water stress, groundwater pollution and overuse of fertilizer. Coca-Cola announced last year it would buy all of its agricultural ingredients from sustainable sources by 2020, including the corn used for its high-fructose corn syrup. “We know how to make beverages. We don’t necessarily know how to grow corn but we do have a good opportunity to influence our suppliers,” Jon Radtke, the company’s water resources sustainability manager, said after the report was released. “We have shared, obviously, our sustainable ag guidelines principles with suppliers and

asked them to meet those and they’ve developed a plan to implement those over the coming years so we can meet that 100 percent by 2020.” Ceres also recommends that companies substitute other grains for corn where environmental benefits are well-demonstrated. General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, Wheaties and Green Giant vegetables, began a sustainability program in 2005 and has increasingly been providing money and support to improve the use of water and fertilizer. In the Root River region of southeastern Minnesota, the company contributed $300,000 to help vegetable farmers incorporate new conservation practices to reduce erosion into the river. In Irapuato, Mexico, General Mills provided interestfree loans to farmers to help them invest in drip irrigation equipment to grow Green Giant vegetables. Corporations are taking on the additional expense to ensure future supplies, but also because of customer demand, said Jerry Lynch, chief sustainability officer for General Mills. “More and more consumers are looking at what companies are doing in this area because that really demonstrates the care that a company takes with the ingredients which are the thing that a consumer cares most about in a food product,” Lynch said.

Obvious tattoos keep friend out of front office at work DEAR ABBY: I have an attractive friend who was bypassed for a front-office promotion. “Miranda” is pleasant, clean, efficient, energetic and had the same qualifications as the individual who was promoted. A management team m e m b e r confided that reason Abigail the for Miranda’s Van Buren lack of advancement Dear Abby “might” be due to the numerous tattoos -- difficult to cover -- on her arms and wrists, which the manager said isn’t the image the business wants to convey. Is this discrimination? I think it’s unfair because Miranda is a good worker. She keeps asking me if I have any ideas why she was bypassed. Should I tell her? I don’t want to violate the manager’s faith in my confidentiality, even though I will be retiring soon. — LOYAL FRIEND IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR LOYAL FRIEND: Your friend’s obvious tattoos prevent her from presenting the corpo-
rate image your employer prefers be conveyed to clients who visit the front office. To my knowledge, people with tattoos are not members of a protected class, which would put an employer at risk for a discrimination suit. Because Miranda continues to ask why she wasn’t promoted, and you have nothing to lose by telling her what you were told, I think you should level with her. She might prefer to work at a company where her chances for advancement aren’t stymied. DEAR ABBY: I have two children who are not yet old enough for school. My mother-in-law watches them for free a few times a week. She has been “trying” to quit smoking for the last couple of years. Nine out of 10 times when I take my children to her, she asks me to bring her a pack of cigarettes. I feel obligated to do it because she watches my children for free. I know I’m not doing her any favors, and I have asked others how I should handle this. They say I should make excuses like, “I don’t have any money with me,” or, “I forgot to get them.” I figure there’s only
a few more years before she won’t have to watch my kids, so after that, I’ll never feel obligated to bring her smokes again. Any advice? — SMOKED OUT IN WISCONSIN DEAR SMOKED OUT: Yes. When you are done reading this, go online and see what the American Cancer Society and the American Lung Association have to say about the effects of secondhand smoke on children. Then, rather than lie to your mother-in-law, the next time she asks you to bring her a pack when you drop off the kids, summon the courage to tell her no because it isn’t healthy for your children. DEAR READERS: I would like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to fathers everywhere -birth fathers, stepfathers, adoptive and foster fathers, grandfathers, and all of those caring men who mentor children and fill the role of absent fathers. LOVE, ABBY 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.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Applying your efforts completely and faithfully will bring success. The tricky part is in choosing a venture that is likely to hold your attention and magnetize your passions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What good is it to love someone if you can’t demonstrate that love? Your feelings do have a strange power, but is it enough to be felt by another? That is the question. Your love is pure, and you demonstrate it well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re better off when you build your hopes around the many things that matter to you, not just one or two things you desperately want. “Wanting desperately” works for some cosmic climates, but not the present one. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Funny people make you happy, and happy people make you funny. Relaxation makes both of these dynamics possible. Whatever you can do to make others comfortable will pave the
way for an easy day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When looking for answers, should you seek universal and prototypical solutions, or should you seek personal, idiosyncratic solutions? Both will work, but the latter will bring more satisfaction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even though you hate to be overwhelmed, the feeling that you have too much to do is far better than the feeling that you do not have enough to do. A master list will be your ticket to success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Uncertainty can be uncomfortable, but if you knew what was going to happen, it wouldn’t be an adventure. The question is: How uncomfortable are you willing to get? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your public image will be a theme of the day. You can’t control the pictures that other people take of you, but you can learn the poses that work best
for you or decide not to care too much about it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll feel that you are in service to humanity. “Humanity” is not always an easy customer, but your unique efforts in this regard will be mostly effective and/or educational. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you are a sensitive and aware person, you cannot watch the news or a movie or interact with the elderly or the very young without profoundly feeling the evanescence of life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Before, it felt like you were at a dead end, but now you can see that you can move beyond where the path is known and the road is paved. You’ll be gripped by a pioneering spirit. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Nature is fundamentally uncontrollable. That’s why lush gardens and well-behaved pets are so impressive. You’ll tame nature in some way today and be commended for your efforts

Lee to master dual sport role BOONEVILLE — Trace Lee is excited and ready to begin an incredible challenge that awaits him at Northeast Mississippi Community College during the upcoming academic year. Lee became the newest member of the Tiger baseball team when he signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI) with the 2014 Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) State Tournament host. However, Lee will be just as busy in the fall semester after agreeing to suit up and take the gridiron for the 2013 MACJC North Division runner-up Northeast football
program. “If he’s got dreams of playing football, he needs to chase that dream as long as he can. We Lee encourage that,” said Tigers head baseball coach Kent Farris. “But in the spring, we’re going to have him on the mound for us. “He has a fantastic family and brings so much more than just his ability on the mound. He’s a great leader and I’m sure the people of
Columbus can testify to that.” Lee played an integral part in helping three separate athletic teams at Columbus High School qualify for the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 6A playoffs. He anticipates more of the same success upon his arrival to the Booneville campus. “I expect the best out of myself and the guys around me,” he said. “So I expect nothing less than a championship here in both sports.” The 6-1, 185 pounder was a three-time Mississippi Association of Coaches (MAC) All-State selection on the diamond for former Northeast
standout Jeffrey Cook. Lee flashed his potential as a sophomore when he stole 10 bases in as many attempts. He also notched career bests of five complete games and a 1.16 earned run average (ERA) during the 2012 campaign. The powerful right-handed pitcher acquired secondteam All-State status for the second consecutive season as a junior. He went 4-4 with two saves and 63 total strikeouts. Lee paced the Falcons in one of its best years in school history during his senior Please see LEE | 11A
LeBron’s simple message: ‘Why not us?’ BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Early Sunday evening, LeBron James will gather his Miami Heat teammates around him and offer a few final words of wisdom before they try to extend their reign as NBA champions. James never rehearses the speech, but already knows what the gist will be. “It would be in the range of, ‘Why not us?’” James said Saturday. “Why not us? History is broken all the time. And obviously we know we’re against the greatest of odds.” Against the greatest of odds, against maybe the greatest of San Antonio Spurs teams, too. Both are very much against the Heat now, and both are winning. The Spurs are a victory away from their fifth championship, and will go for it at home Sunday night in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs are the 32nd team in NBA history to hold a
3-1 lead in the finals. All 31 of the previous teams have won the title. “History is made to be broken, and why not me be a part of it? That would be great,” James said. “That would be a great story line, right? But we’ll see what happens. I’ve got to live in the moment, though, before we even get to that point.” The Spurs have the same way of thinking. They took command of the finals in stunning fashion by not just winning in Miami, but winning twice — and winning big. San Antonio won Games 3 and 4 on the road by a combined 40 points, never trailing by more than two in either contest and running out to 25-point leads in each. “We’ve got to act like we’re coming into it like it’s a road game,” Spurs guard Danny Green said. “It’s a mentality thing. We have to come up with the same mentality we do on the road and try to protect home court and play with des-
peration.” There was no talk from the Spurs on Saturday about closing in on a title, or anything remotely close to that topic. They thought they had it wrapped up with 28 seconds left in Game 6 last season against Miami and saw it slip away — so even with a 3-1 lead and being at home instead the road for this potential clinching situation, it’s pretty clear that San Antonio isn’t willing to leave anything to chance. “They’re going to come out and give us their best punch possible,” Spurs star Tim Duncan said. “We know that they’re back-to-back champs and they’ve been in this situation before and they have all the confidence in the world that they can win these games. So we have to do just the same. Come out there and say, hey, we’re going to take it little by little, quarter by quarter, and see what happens.” That all sounds good, and he meant every word. Thing is, the Heat — these
Heat, anyway — haven’t been in this situation before. Since James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh teamed up, the Heat have never trailed 3-1 in a series. Until now. “We’re not so entitled or jaded that we’re above having to fight for it, and that’s what it is right now,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “It’s competition. So we’ve got to find a way to fight and get this next game, and that’s what it’s all about.” Miami took a day off Friday. Mario Chalmers played with his son, James watched some film and rested at home, Udonis Haslem tried to relax with family. Wade, who missed nine of his first 10 shots — raising questions about his health — went a different way. He went into the gym, by himself, looking for answers. “I have very good reason that everything could change,” Wade said. “As I continue to say throughout the season, it’s a game-to-game thing.”
Kaymer outlasts tough Pinehurst for 5-shot lead BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
PINEHURST, N.C. — A tough Pinehurst No. 2 tried to make a game out of this U.S. Open. Martin Kaymer always had an answer. Already with one bogey on his card, Kaymer’s tee shot on No. 4 was so deep into the trees that his golf ball settled in sandy patch that had been washed out by rain, stacked up against 6 inches of pine straw. With nowhere to go and no relief available, he turned to USGA President Tom O’Toole and said, “If you have a way to play it, I’ll follow you.” Kaymer navigated his way out of trouble just fine. He escaped with a bogey by getting up-and-down from 165 yards. He followed with an eagle with a 7-iron from 202 yards out of more sand
and weeds. And a birdie on the final hole gave him a 2-over 72 and a five-shot lead in a U.S. Open that finally lived up to its reputation Saturday. “I kept it very well together,” said Kaymer, who was at 8-under 202. Now he has to do it one more time, with a different cast of challengers behind him. Rickie Fowler, with teen idol status in American golf, birdied the par-3 17th hole and shot 67 to get into the final group of a major for the first time. Even more unlikely was the other player at 3-under 207 — Erik Compton, the twotime heart transplant recipient who considers it a victory just to be playing golf. Compton ran off five birdies and an eagle for a 67
“If I were to win the tournament, it would be obviously something that would be extremely special, not only for me, but for my family and for those who have been around me, and I think also for the community and those who have been through some tough times,” Compton said. “I might just sail off and never play golf again.” Even so, this tournament is in the hands of a 29-year-old German who kept his cool on a broiling day of some wicked pin positions. Only one player in U.S. Open history has lost a fiveshot lead in the final round, and that Mike Brady in 1919. “It would be nice if they make it difficult again,” Kaymer said of the pins, several of which were on the edges of the Donald Ross turtleback greens. “Because then it’s all
about ball-striking. I enjoy playing those courses a lot more than just a putting competition. ... So I hope they put them in tough positions. Not as tough as today. It would be nice if we could have some kind of a chance once in a while. But that is what you get at the U.S. Open. It’s OK. You just have to play very well.” Only six players remained under par, and considering no one has come from more than seven shots behind in the final round to win a U.S. Open, they might be the only ones left with a realistic chance to catch Kaymer. Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson each shot 70 and were at 2-under 208. Brandt Snedeker had a 72 and was another shot behind. Asked how much that birdie mattered on the 18th hole, Kaymer said, “One shot.”
Irvine rides 3-run 8th to 3-1 CWS win over Texas BY ERIC OLSON Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — With the wind blowing in at 35 mph at cavernous TD Ameritrade Park, UC Irvine’s Taylor Sparks hit the longest ball all day. It barely reached the warning track. But with Texas’ outfield playing extremely shallow Saturday, his drive to left-
center for his nation-leading ninth triple was more than enough to get the Anteaters’ offense going in a 3-1 victory over Texas in the opening game of the College World Series. “The wind was really howling, so I knew anything lifted, it wasn’t going anywhere,” Sparks said. “I just tried to stay flat with
that and was able to travel through the gap. It’s definitely my most special and favorite hit so far.” One of the last four teams selected for the NCAA tournament, UC Irvine (41-23) continued to amaze during a postseason run in which it knocked off No. 1 national seed Oregon State and swept a super regional at Oklaho-
ma State. “By keeping the game close, and with there being no clock in this game, it was possible for us to do what we did in the eighth,” Irvine coach Mike Gillespie said. “Taylor Sparks had a spectacular game both on offense and defense. We Please see CWS | 11A
Balotelli goal gives Italy 2-1 win over England BY CHRIS LEHOURITES Associated Press
MANAUS, Brazil — The heat and humidity of the jungle made its mark on the first World Cup match to be played in the Amazon rainforest, and so did Mario Balotelli. With players from both sides slowing as the game wore on, it was the man with the mohawk that headed in the deciding goal early in the second half to give Italy a 2-1 win over England and a de-
cided advantage in Group D. “We won, but now let’s keep our feet on the ground, otherwise we’re not going anywhere,” said Balotelli, an often volatile and often brilliant striker who was nearly dropped from the starting lineup after struggling for AC Milan this season. Balotelli was left unmarked at the far post in the 50th minute, giving him plenty of space to head a cross from Antonio Candreva past goal-
keeper Joe Hart for the winning goal. The match was played in the Amazonian city of Manaus, the most exotic of the 12 World Cup venues for this year’s tournament. According to FIFA, it was 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) with humidity at 61 percent for the match. “At times it felt like having hallucinations due to the heat,” Italy midfielder Claudio Marchisio said.
Marchisio gave the fourtime champions the lead with a long shot through a crowded area and past a diving Hart in the 35th minute. Daniel Sturridge equalized for England two minutes later, tapping in a cross from Wayne Rooney. In the other Group D match, Costa Rica beat Uruguay 3-1. So both England and Uruguay, who meet Thursday, have plenty of work to do to advance.

strung together some hits, so it was a good win for us.” The Anteaters advanced to a winner’s game Monday against Vanderbilt, a 5-3 winner over Louisville in the night game. The Longhorns (43-20) play Louisville. The Anteaters had been shut out for seven innings before they broke through against Texas starter Nathan Thornhill (8-3) and reliever John Curtiss. Thornhill allowed only three runs over 37 innings in six starts before Adam Alcantara singled and scored on Sparks’ triple. It was his third hit of the game. Curtiss came on, and Chris Rabago drilled his first pitch up the middle to score Sparks. Jonathan Munoz added an RBI single for a two-run lead. Texas coach Augie Garrido said he didn’t regret sending Thornhill out for the eighth after watching the Phillies’ 13th-round draft pick pitch a 1-2-3 seventh. “I wouldn’t say I was tired,” Thornhill said. “The first hitter turned on fastball inside, and the next guy (Sparks) is their best hitter and he hit a cutter that was down. He sat on it. Great hit.” Evan Brock (9-6) earned the win in his first relief appearance of the season. The mustachioed senior held the Longhorns hitless the last 2 1-3 innings and struck out the side in the ninth. “Definitely my adrenaline was pumping, because I haven’t been in a situation like that late in a game in a long time,” Brock said. “That got the juices flowing.” Texas scored its only run in the second inning on a squeeze play, and Thornhill hummed along in the middle innings after working out of early trouble. The Anteaters stranded runners in scoring position each of the first four innings, leaving a man at third three times, and then had only one man reach base until the eighth. The Longhorns had ample opportunity to pad their early lead against Irvine starter Andrew Morales, but they stranded
Auto racing 10 runners through five innings, eight of them in scoring position. Mark Payton’s streak of reaching base ended at 101 games. “So what? We lost,” Payton said. “It’s something I didn’t pay attention to.” Texas is making its record 35th CWS appearance, with the 75-year-old Garrido trying to win a national title in a fifth decade. He won championships with Cal State Fullerton in 1979, 1984 and 1995 and with Texas in 2002 and 2005. UC Irvine barely made the tournament after losing eight of nine to end the regular season. But the Anteaters, in the CWS for the second time, are not now and in position to make a run at giving the 74-year-old Gillespie his second national title. He won his first in 1998 at Southern California.
Vanderbilt beats Louisville 5-3 OMAHA, Neb. — Dansby Swanson doubled in two runs and Adam Ravenelle pitched 2 1-3 innings of shutout relief to help Vanderbilt beat Louisville 5-3 in the College World Series on Saturday night. The Commodores (46-19) won in a grinding, 3-hour, 40-minute game that saw Louisville (50-16) issue nine walks, its third-most of the season. One of the Cardinals’ two wild pitches produced a Vanderbilt run. Another run, and a big one, came home on a passed ball after the Commodores saw their 4-0 lead shrink to 4-3 in the seventh. It looked like catcher Kyle Gibson was setting up for a pitch-out, but reliever Kyle McGrath pitched to the plate and Gibson let the ball get past him, allowing Vince Conde to score. Carson Fulmer (7-1) worked six innings for the win, and Ravenelle retired seven of the last eight Louisville batters for his first save. Kyle Funkhouser (13-3) took the loss.

Lee went 1-0 in five innings of work last summer while in McAlester, Okla. Lee walked in the footsteps of his brother, former Mississippi State University quarterback Tyson Lee, and found success from behind center at Columbus for coach Tony Stanford. The signal caller averaged over 100 yards per
outing in three campaigns as a starter. He became known for his ability to avoid turnovers and made just three miscues over his final two years as a Falcon. Lee had a breakout junior season in which he tossed for 1,524 total yards on 104 completions. He averaged 14.7 yards per throw and 138.5 yards each contest with eight touchdowns, zero interceptions and an 81.4 quarterback rating. He threw for a careerbest 240 yards and two scores in a loss to rival West Point High School during that year. Lee led Columbus to a 7-5 record in 2013 and to the MHSAA Class 6A playoffs. “The opportunity to

campaign of 2014. Columbus was victorious in 14 straight games to begin the season and climbed to No. 8 in the USA Today’s Super 25 national baseball rankings. During the Falcons’ lengthy winning streak, Lee hit .636 with 10 runs scored and six RBIs. Columbus defeated their opponents by an average score of 10-2 in that fourweek span. After battling their way to the MHSAA Division 3, Class 6A runner-up position, the Falcons defeated Olive Branch High School and Clinton High School in their opening two rounds of the postseason.
Lee compiled a pair of masterful performances in the MHSAA Class 6A playoffs. He had a careerhigh 13 strikeouts in a 1-0 pitchers duel triumph against Olive Branch and then punched out eight batters to claim a 7-4 win at Clinton. However, Lee’s outstanding year came to a conclusion with two close losses to Tupelo High School in the MHSAA Class 6A quarterfinal round. Lee received recognition as a first-team AllState selection and was the Northeast Mississippi Coaches Association for Better Baseball (NEMCABB) Player of the Year following a season in

which he tallied a 5-3 record in 11 appearances with a team-best 81 strikeouts and only 24 walks in 60.2 innings. He wrapped up his phenomenal prep career with appearances in both the NEMCABB and Crossroads Diamond Club All-Star Games. Lee was named the Best Defensive Player for the East in the NEMCABB Class 3A-6A contest and also garnered the Ralph Bruce Memorial Award for his sportsmanship on and off the field of competition.

I understand the work ethic I’m going to have to have and that I’m going to have to be a leader on both teams. This isn’t high school anymore.” Lee was named to the Commercial Dispatch’s All-Area football team following a senior campaign in which he accounted for 800 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns. He excelled on the soccer pitch as well and engaged in a pivotal defensive post for the Falcons at the fullback position.

Concrete Jungle Lee Gentry turns his yard into decorative zoo BY ANGELA STOREY astorey@dailycorinthian.com
The phrase “concrete jungle” takes on a whole new meaning at Lee Gentry’s residence on County Road 3050 in Prentiss County. It really is a jungle out there filled with almost every animal under the sun. And they’re all made of concrete. What began with the purchase of a concrete alligator over a year ago has multiplied to now over 130 concrete animals finding a home in Lee’s concrete animal village. “One day my friend, the late James Glidewell of Corinth, wanted a small alligator,” Lee said. “We had heard about this place called Mid-South Concrete on Hwy. 72 about 20 miles west of Walnut. “We went there and James got a small alligator and I got the big alligator.” Soon afterwards Lee went back and got two baby alligators to go with it and his concrete animal hobby took off. “After that I started buying anywhere from four to five a week,” he said, estimating he’s made over 70 trips there and back. “James was the smart one. He stopped on one alligator and I kept going.” When he purchases the animals they are a plain concrete mold. He then brings them to life by painting them using cans of spray paint. Small areas, like the nose and eyes, require using a q-tip to apply the paint. The animals are located in a 27x27 square foot area with slag. He has a circle drive so the public can drive by it and view the animals although they are welcome to get out of their vehicle if they want to. “It’s different,” he says of his hobby. “I wanted to do something no one else is doing and I haven’t seen anybody who’s got as many concrete animals as I’ve got.” His animal zoo is popular with his neighbors, too, especially Hannah Davis, 10, and her sister, Autumn, 7, who live next door. “They adore it. They ride the animals all the time,” Lee said. He even purchased
Lee Gentry puts a coat of paint on one of his newest additions.
This bobcat is one of Lee Gentry’s favorite concrete animals. Shown with Lee is his dog, Brat, his favorite non-concrete animal.
Sisters Autumn and Hannah Davis, who live next door, like to play on the caterpillar bench. two animal benches for them to sit on. One of the benches is a large dog and the other is a big bass. One of his most recent purchases was a caterpillar bench. He’s appreciative of friends and neighbors who help him get the animals out of his car when he brings them home. “My neighbors have helped me so many times. When they see me open the trunk they probably want to go the other way because they know they’ll have to help me unload the animals,” he says with a chuckle. Some of the larger animals weigh around 300 pounds.
His friends, Buddy and Josie Smith, recently gave him a large concrete Labrador retriever which Lee had been wanting. It is so large Lee wouldn’t have been able to fit it in his car so he was most appreciative of the Smiths delivering it in their truck. Prices of the concrete animals range from $20 to over $100. He estimates he has over $5,000 invested and that’s not counting over 250 cans of spray paint. Since animals come in all different colors, there have been some good natured arguments in his community about the colors he chooses for some of them.
“My cousin Eddie Holley disagreed with the gray color I painted a raccoon. He said they were brown. But there are gray ones and brown ones. So I threw some brown on it just for him and he said that was more like it.” When he wanted to add a rattlesnake to the menagerie, Emily, the owner of Mid-South Concrete, picked up one for him in Texas to put in his collection. Some of the animals look so realistic after being painted, they even sometimes startle Lee when he sees them, especially the first alligator he purchased. “It looks just like a real alligator,” he
said. The rattlesnake is also known to make unsuspecting visitors jump. It’s impossible to list all the different animals in the concrete zoo but here’s some of them: alligators, chickens, turkeys, frogs, rabbits, squirrels, armadillos, raccoons, ducks (in a row), dogs, cats, wild boars, a ground hog, bobcats, giraffes, monkeys, elephants, buffalo, deer, cows, turtles, a fox, lions, tigers, bears, pigs, horses, a zebra, a rattlesnake, a beaver, a wolf, a bass, a catfish, a butterfly, two gecko lizards, a salamander, an iguana, a skunk, swordfish, dolphin, kangaroo and various birds (parrots, eagles, doves, cardinals, blue birds, parakeets, whooping crane, a goose and pink flamingo). The birds line the outside of the concrete jungle. A large bobcat on a tree stump is his favorite concrete animal. Other top favorites are the wolf and the alligator (the first of his purchases). Lee’s beloved Ole Miss is also represented by a huge concrete football with the words “Hotty Toddy - Go Rebs” and a likeness of Colonel Rebel etched on it. Concrete bare feet with toenails painted Ole Miss red and blue lead up to the football.
When he’s not busy searching for more animals to add to his vast collection, Lee works as sales director of WBVV radio station in Tupelo. He has been working with Clear Channel Radio since 2001. Prior to that he had worked with WBIP radio station in Booneville since 1973. He also served as the sports editor of The Banner-Independent two different occasions for a total of 12 years. His hobby is definitely a stress reliever. One of the most enjoyable aspects is painting the concrete animals. “It’s a lot of fun seeing your creation when you get through,” he said. And there’s still plenty of room to add more concrete animals. Of all the animals he has acquired he is missing one that certainly belongs in his southern landscape — a possum. He plans to keep looking until he finds one (or two). Lee says one of the good things about the concrete jungle is so far no one has been bitten and no animals have escaped. (To find Lee’s concrete animal village, go to the Woodmen of the World building on County Road 3101 (Walden Road) and then turn on County Road 3050. Remember, don’t feed the animals.)
50 years ago, ‘Freedom Summer’ changed South, U.S. BY ALLEN G. BREED & SHARON COHEN AP National Writers
HOLLY SPRINGS — As a teenager growing up in a Jim Crow society, Roy DeBerry wasn’t waiting for white folks to come down to Mississippi and “save” him. But in the summer of 1964, the factory worker’s son was very glad to see people like Aviva Futorian. The young history teacher from the affluent Chicago suburbs was among hundreds of volunteers — mostly Northern white college students — who descended on Mississippi during what came to be known as “Freedom Summer.” They came to register blacks to vote, and to establish “Freedom Schools” and community centers to help prepare those long disenfranchised for participation in what they hoped would be a new political order. Opposition was brutal. Churches were bombed, volunteers were arrested, beaten — even murdered. Fifty years later, Freedom Summer stands out as a watershed moment in the long drive for civil rights. Mass resistance
to integration started to crumble. Congress took a monumental step toward equal rights. And scores of young, idealistic volunteers embarked on careers of activism that continue to shape American policy today. And in this vortex of history, lifelong friendships formed between people from vastly different worlds. So it was that a black 16-yearold from Mississippi and the 26-year-old daughter of a Jewish furniture mogul bonded over books and bologna sandwiches during a summer that would define their lives. ■■■
Sitting side by side recently in Futorian’s condominium overlooking Chicago’s Lincoln Park, the two friends reminisced about lessons under a tree, practice sessions for a sit-in at a segregated theater, taboos that prevented a white woman and black man from sitting next to each other in a car. “I probably didn’t have as much trepidation as I should have,” said Futorian, now a 76-year-old attorney. “Because it’s hard to imagine your own death.”
Years of demonstrations by determined local blacks, boycotts, legislative campaigns and bloody pitched battles had not dislodged segregation. On March 20, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which had been fighting for integration, announced the “Mississippi Summer Project.” The group concluded it needed a dramatic tactic to draw national attention to the injustices — and putting Northern whites in harm’s way seemed sure to accomplish that. Volunteers converged for training at a college in Ohio. On June 21, even before orientation ended, chilling word spread: Three young volunteers — New Yorkers Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, and Mississippi native James Chaney — had vanished while investigating the burning of a black church. En route to Mississippi, the menace quickly became clear to Futorian. Following a gasoline stop in Tennessee, her car and its mixed-race passengers were chased for miles at high speeds. Finally, their pursuers gave up. ■■■
Maybe it was because his
grandparents had been landowners since just after slavery days, or because his father wasn’t dependent on sharecropping a white man’s land. Whatever the source, DeBerry had “an independent streak.” So when a Freedom School opened in an unassuming whiteframe building, DeBerry found his way there. When Futorian met with a group of black teenage boys, she asked them who were the richest blacks in town, how they earned their living, were they involved in the civil rights movement and if not, why not? “Roy was the only one who knew the answers,” she recalls. DeBerry says this was his first interaction with a white person “on a social level.” Through donated books, Futorian introduced him to James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright and other “subversive” black authors. They shared sandwiches at Modena’s Cafe in the “colored” section of town. They worked on voter registration — though separately. ■■■
By fall, most of the Northern volunteers had returned home.
Aviva Futorian remained. She worked as a field organizer for SNCC and held a college preparatory study group for a few particularly promising students, including DeBerry. She returned to Chicago after a year and a half, and decided to pursue justice as a lawyer. With her help, DeBerry was accepted at her alma mater, Brandeis University. He helped found a black student association there. That summer brought the beginnings of change in Mississippi and beyond. Systematic resistance to integration began fading in the state. Congress passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which became law July 2. And though fewer than onetenth of the 17,000 black residents who attempted to register succeeded, the effort helped create momentum for the Voting Rights Act of 1965. ■■■
Back in Chicago, Futorian and DeBerry chat about that sweltering season 50 years ago — and the legacy they share. Through all the change, there has been one constant for DeBerry and Futorian — their friendship.

Planning a perfect wedding is no small undertaking. From scheduling venues and hiring vendors to tasting menus, lots of decisions must be made when planning a wedding. But when the pieces fall into place, the entire day can be magical. One of the final components of weddings are the favors guests will take home with them as mementos of the festivities. Though favors don’t require immediate attention, that does not mean couples should wait until the last minute to made decisions regarding their wedding favors. A couple’s budget should be considered when choosing favors. A couple may want to give their guests lavish gifts
but should only do so if their budget allows.
Be creative Wedding favors can be just about anything, so there’s no need to stick to Jordan almonds or wine bottle stoppers. The more creative couples are, the more receptive their guests will likely be. For example, for an autumntheme wedding, fill mason jars with the ingredients for a spiced cake and give the recipe on a tag. For a summer wedding, gift guests with a sun and surf survival bag, with sunblock, a beach towel and sunglasses.
Complete the theme Some weddings follow a particular theme from
start to finish, and wedding favors should stick with that theme. Couples who will showcase their love of travel on their wedding days may want to give guests keychains or purse holders that feature popular landmarks around the world. Those who are admitted beach bums may want to present a small fishbowl with sand and a goldfish inside, reminiscent of days at the seashore.
Go traditional Couples who opt for universally appealing favors can lean toward some popular options, such as silver cake servers, candlestick holders, decorative photo frames, or engraved keepsake boxes. Aim for favors
that have utility. Otherwise, favors may end up collecting dust on someone’s shelf.
Food and beverage gifts are fun Food favors mean guests can enjoy their gifts and not have to worry about finding space inside their homes to display trinkets. Food favors can be lavishly decorated cookies, fine chocolates, petit fours, small bottles of champagne or cupcakes decorated like the wedding cake. Favors are often integral to wedding celebrations. Selecting a favor that will be appreciated and fit with the wedding is often a fun and stressfree part of planning a wedding.
Financial discussions key for making transition to married life Newlyweds often have a lot on their plates upon returning from their honeymoons. One of the more critical issues newly married couples must address is their finances and how those finances will be combined going forward. Combining finances can be a touchy subject for many couples, especially those who had not given much thought to their finances prior to tying the knot. But there are steps couples can take to make the process of merging finances go more smoothly. • Discuss finances early and often. Allowing finances to be the elephant in the room is a mistake, as couples do not want to begin their lives together treading lightly around an issue as significant as finances. Couples should discuss their expendi-
tures and spending habits as early as possible, as one of the biggest hurdles newly married couples must clear is coming to grips with one another’s financial habits. If such habits have already been discussed, then developing a financial plan will be much easier once that time comes. When discussing finances, define both short-term and longterm goals and how each of you can adjust your spending habits to make those goals come true. • Pay off any debts. The cost of weddings has skyrocketed over the last several decades, and many newlyweds find themselves in a considerable amount of debt upon returning from their honeymoons. When merging finances, couples should prioritize paying
When merging finances, couples often discover that they don’t see eye-toeye on how each person spends money. Couples who successfully merge their finances often note the importance of making concessions with regard to their partners’ spending on certain hobbies or luxuries. down such debt, as debt is a significant source of stress for newlyweds and long-married couples alike. Newly married couples with little or no debt should avoid spending above their means in the months after they get married. Such spending is commonplace, as newly married couples
often want to fully furnish their new homes or reward themselves for pulling off their weddings. But new debt can be just as stressful on a marriage as debt from the wedding, so avoid this potentially problematic pitfall by paying down existing debts with your newly merged finances.
• Make note of mutual expenses and open a joint account to pay for those expenses. Mutual expenses like mortgage payments, food and utilities should be the responsibility of each partner, and a joint account should be established to handle such expenses. When opening a joint account, discuss how much and how often each partner will contribute money. One partner might earn considerably more money than another, so work out a reasonable agreement that details how much each partner will contribute each month, and whether such contributions will be made on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. • Make concessions for one another. When merging finances, couples
often discover that they don’t see eye-to-eye on how each person spends money. Couples who successfully merge their finances often note the importance of making concessions with regard to their partners’ spending on certain hobbies or luxuries. As long as those hobbies are not putting couples in debt or jeopardizing their financial goals, couples can make concessions so their partners continue to be happy and enjoy their favorite activities. Merging finances is an issue that looms for many newlyweds or couples about to tie the knot. Though it’s not always easy, merging finances early and discussing goals can ensure newlyweds get off on the right financial foot.

Amazon launches Prime music streaming BY RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer
LOS ANGELES — Amazon’s newly announced music streaming service is yet another attempt by the company to move beyond e-commerce and infuse itself into the daily lives of Americans with an increasing number of offerings —including grocery delivery and streaming TV. The announcement comes just days ahead of the expected unveiling of the company’s first smartphone. Starting Thursday, Amazon.com Inc. will offer more than a million tracks for ad-free streaming and download to Kindle Fire tablets as well as to computers and the Amazon Music app for Apple and Android devices. The service, called Prime Music, is likely to be integrated with an Amazon smartphone expected to be previewed on Wednesday. People who pay $99 a
year for an Amazon Prime membership can listen to tens of thousands of albums from artists including Beyonce, The Lumineers and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for no extra cost. By adding music, Amazon is hoping to hook new customers and retain existing ones on its Prime free-shipping plan, which also allows subscribers to watch streams of movies and TV shows and gives Kindle owners a library of books they can borrow once a month. But the service has far fewer songs than services like Spotify or Rhapsody, and no deal with topranked Universal Music Group. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said the service is not likely to make a big impact on Prime membership. He said Prime members are likely to already use other streaming services so there is not much of a reason to switch to Amazon’s
Cryptoquip
service. “Very few people are going to use it, like Prime Instant Video, very few people even know that exists,” he said. “We are Prime members because we want free shipping.” Steve Boom, Amazon’s vice president of digital music, said the service will pay for itself and isn’t part of the reason why the company raised the price of Prime from $79 in March — a move Amazon said would cover higher shipping costs. Instead, the company will benefit because Prime members tend to buy more from Amazon and remain loyal customers. “If they come to Amazon for their music needs, they become better and longer-term Amazon customers, and we think that’s a good thing,” Boom said. The deal comes on the heels of Apple Inc.’s announcement that it is purchasing headphone and
music-streaming company Beats for $3 billion and is a further acknowledgement of the rise in popularity of streaming and the decline of digital downloads. U.S. sales of downloaded songs slipped 1 percent last year to $2.8 billion while streaming music revenue surged 39 percent to $1.4 billion, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Early results this year showed a further decline in music download sales, Boom said. “Music consumption habits are changing, which is why we started this,” he said. “We saw the change happening.” Seattle-based Amazon reached licensing deals with most of the top independent labels and major recording companies Sony and Warner Music, but failed to reach a deal with top-ranked Universal Music Group. That means that while
how often the songs were played on other digital services, the person said. Both people were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Amazon will recommend songs to customers who have bought music from it in the past with offers to complete albums if they’re available on the service. It has also hired experts to compile hundreds of playlists that are 20 to 50 songs in length based on genre or mood that are easy to download before getting on the subway or on a plane, Boom said. The company boosted its Prime 2-day shipping membership program annual fee from $79 to $99 in March to offset higher shipping costs. Since then, it has been adding services to Prime membership to attract new customers and encourage existing customers to spend more.
Crafting a popular song: How many songwriters does it take? BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer
Crossword
the service will feature artists like Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Bruce Springsteen, Pink and Madonna — it will lack music by Universal stars such as Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Jay-Z. The service also won’t have many new releases — and for major artists that could mean music that has been released within the last six months. Universal didn’t reach a deal with Amazon because it disagreed with the value of the lump sum royalty payment on offer for the albums in question, according to two people familiar with the matter. One person said the royalty amounted to about $40 million to $50 million for the entire music industry over two years. Labels other than Universal concluded the amount would be equal to or better than a per-play streaming royalty, given
NEW YORK — How many people does it take to write a hit song? If you’re Pharrell, one. If you’re Pitbull or Jason Derulo, probably eight — or more. Billboard’s recent Hot 100 chart reflects a group of hits mainly showcasing songs written solely by an act and an additional songwriter or those with seven or eight songwriters, such as Pitbull’s “Timber” or Jason Derulo’s “Wiggle.” What does it take to craft a hit? Who gets the credit? Is a song written by nearly a dozen people less special than a song with only two or three cowriters? Pharrell, who has the longest-running No. 1 song so far this year with “Happy,” wrote the tune alone. “You got six, you got 18 people in the room, you don’t need me,” said Pharrell, who has written hits for Britney Spears and Usher. “Who am I to judge? Just because I do it my way doesn’t mean it’s going to be the stat(us) quo. (It’s) more than likely not going to be the stat(us) quo, as we see.” The songwriters on Katy Perry’s No.1 hits range from four (“E.T.”) to six (“Dark Horse”). Beyonce and Jay Z’s latest smash, “Drunk in Love,” lists eight collaborators, and Eminem and Rihanna’s “The Monster” was crafted by seven people. That’s in contrast to Lorde’s “Royals” and OneRepublic’s “Counting Stars” — solely writ-
ten by Ryan Tedder — to any of the successes from Imagine Dragons’ debut album, which credits the four members and occasionally producer Alex da Kid. “I don’t think that there’ll probably ever be a time, to be honest with you, that we would sit down with like six songwriters and be like, ‘Write an Imagine Dragons song.’ It just wouldn’t feel right for us,” said bandleader Dan Reynolds, who will be honored Thursday night at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony in New York. “I’ve heard about artists who have a song written for them and they embrace it ... but for us, it’s not real to what Imagine Dragons is.” Some of today’s hits with a list of songwriters that scroll on and on include others who don’t physically write lyrics: Writing credit can also be earned by producers who design the beats, artists who sing the song and add their own flavor, engineers who mix the track and others who work specifically on the melody. The publishing percentage for each person listed on the song varies, though. “You have a programmer that’s in (the studio) and they’re like, ‘OK, give me a beat Simon.’ Simon gives a beat, well now he is a part of the co-write,’” said Linda Perry, who wrote Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” and hits for Pink. “It’s a crazy jungle in that area. In that room, I don’t want to be a part of,” she added. “And then you
got the guy that’s smoking the blunt that’s paying no attention and then he’s like, ‘Hey, say, “Chow down mother, chow down mother.” Now that “Chow down mother stoner mother” is now part of the songwriting process, even if he only brought in one word.” Other times, sampling older songs adds to the lengthy list of credited songwriters. Pitbull and Kesha’s “Timber” lists eight songwriters, but technically the total would be 11 because it borrows from Lee Oskar’s “San Francisco Bay.” The largest group of writers to win the coveted Grammy for song of the year — a songwriter’s award — is four, including Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” Other winners with four songwriters include songs by U2, Coldplay, the Dixie Chicks and fun., where band members count for all or most of the writers. John Legend, who has dominated the airwaves this year with “All of Me,” said winning the song-ofthe-year Grammy is one of his top goals. He wrote the song with Toby Gad, and said within the music business, the long list of songwriters isn’t too shocking. “But if I were a lay person looking at the credits and I saw six people wrote it, it might turn me off a little bit because you would think it’s writing by committee or it doesn’t feel as personal,” Legend said. “But then when you understand who’s involved and how they are involved, you understand it a little bit more.”
Microsoft teases new ‘Crackdown,’ ‘Halo’ BY DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — It’s all about the games for Microsoft at E3. Microsoft focused exclusively on hyping titles coming to its Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles during its presentation Monday ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game industry’s annual trade show. The new Xbox One games included a fresh installment of the openworld romp “Crackdown”; a reboot of the Xbox action game “Phantom Dust”; the original dragon-centric adventure “Scalebound” from developer Platinum Games; a sequel to the 2013 “Tomb Raider” reboot titled “Rise of the Tomb Raider”; and a “Halo” col-
lection that will bring four prior installments of the sci-fi shooter to Microsoft’s latest console. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s Xbox division, began the 90-minute presentation by noting that Microsoft changed features of the Xbox One, which launched last November, after listening to consumer feedback. “You are shaping the future of Xbox, and we are better for it,” Spencer told the crowd and cameras broadcasting the event. “Today, we are dedicating our entire briefing to games.” When the company initially unveiled the Xbox One last year at its Redmond, Washington, headquarters, Microsoft billed the $499 console as an “all-in-one” entertain-
ment hub for the living room. Following criticism, Microsoft backtracked on several requirements for the console, including that it must be connected to both the Internet every 24 hours and to its motion-detecting Kinect sensor. The company began selling a Kinect-free version of the Xbox One on Monday for $399. Other upcoming games teased during the event included the futuristic “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare,” driving sequel “Forza Horizon 2,” original cartoony shoot-’emup “Sunset Overdrive,” cooperative fantasy “Fable Legends,” and downloadable choreography game “Dance Central Spotlight.”
