Voters heading to polls Tuesday BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
Alcorn County’s 17 voting precincts will open Tuesday for the Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel runoff in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.
It is the only race on the ballot and one that is stirring more interest than an average midterm congressional primary runoff. “It looks like we’re going to have more people to vote Republican this time than we did
last time,� said Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell. He said absentee votes have recently averaged more than 20 per day. The office had issued 193 absentee ballots as of Friday afternoon, including those
mailed out but not necessarily returned. He expects Alcorn County voters to cast about 3,000 ballots, possibly a little more. Turnout in the first primary, including Republican and Demo-
cratic races, was 3,359, with about 2,600 of those voting in the Republican primary. In the neck-and-neck June 3 voting, Thad Cochran carPlease see RUNOFF | 6A
Commission seeks to aid education BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
(Editors note: This is the fourth of a five part series to be presented each Sunday on the task forces setup by the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County.) The Education Task Force of the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County was setup with several primary goals. The task force has assisted both the Alcorn School District and the Corinth School District in developing worldclass 21st century educational systems where all students and adults receive the high-
est quality education possible. The task force also worked to increase educational opportunities in the area and to increase competitiveness to reach international standards. “The task force focused on improving graduation rates and lowering dropout rates,� said Corinth School District Superintendent Lee Childress. “Alcorn improved it’s graduation rate to 77.5 and Corinth improved its graduation rate to 92.2.� Childress co-chairs the EdPlease see COMMISSION | 2A

Deputy Chief John Beavers of the Glen Volunteer Fire Department painted a picture of his most horrifying day on the job. “I arrived at the scene to find a threebedroom, 2,000 square foot brick home in Rienzi showing heavy fire,� said Beavers. “When dealing with a structure fire, the best way to save the house is to go inside, you can’t just douse it with water from the outside.� After entering the residence with Brandon Please see BEAVERS | 3A

the fall, got the idea after passing one of the stations. “I drove by a firehouse and saw firemen sitting around eating without a table,” he said. Louis and fellow scouts Fletcher Roberts, Nathen Nunley, Denzel Toomer, Andy Clausel and Mikal Nunley have been busy the past two weeks making the four picnic tables. Boy Scout Troop 123 Assistant Scout Master Keith Windham and Louis’ father, Danny, have also assisted in the project. “The guys have been wonderful,” said Danny Louis, after grilling some hot dogs for the boys during lunch. “This teaches them something they can pass on and that’s what it is all about.” The four tables will contain a red plaque with who made the tables, who helped donate to the project and who the tables were made for. “The idea of the project is to something for the community with the Scout in charge,” said Matthew Louis. “I thought it was a great idea,” said Danny. “I can’t think of anyone who would appreciate it more than firemen.” Those who made donations for the project included: SouthBank,
Gardner’s/Roger’s, Randy and Penny Long, Knights of Columbus #2913 and Coca-Cola Bottling Works. The Eagle Scout Service Project is the opportunity for a Boy Scout, Varsity Scout or qualified Venturer in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to demonstrate leadership of others while performing a project for the benefit of his community. The project is the culmination of the Eagle Scout candidate’s leadership training and it requires a significant effort on his part. Projects must benefit an organization other than the BSA, but it cannot be performed for an individual or a business, be solely a fundraising project or be commercial in nature. A written plan must be submitted using the BSA Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook and be pre-approved by the benefiting organization, the Scout Leader, the unit committee, and a district representative, before work on the project can begin. After the project is complete, the Scout will update the workbook where he will discuss the methods in which he gave leadership, ways in which the plan may have had to change and the benefits of the project to the community.

ucation Task Force with Alcorn School District Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. “Some of the recent activities that the task force has assisted in include implementing prekindergarten programs in city and county schools,” said Childress. “The new programs now serve 140 students.” The Alcorn School District will also add one new pre-kindergarten class which will serve an additional 20 students during the 2014-15 school year. The commission partnered with the Corinth School District to secure a $1.4 million grant to improve early childhood education. “The grant will be spilt between Alcorn School District, Corinth School District, Prentiss County School District, Corinth/ Kendrick Head Start and five additional private child care providers in the county,” added Childress. The commission, C.A.R.E. Foundation, the Pierce Foundation and private community donors sponsored the second Celebration of Excellence in Education. “This event was held for Alcorn School District and Corinth School District staff,” he said. “It was a huge success and we’re
already planning on hosting another Excellence in Education in August.” The task force will also continue to facilitate workshops for the Excel By 5 program to provide training to daycare and early childhood centers. “Moving forward, we want to continue to focus on drop out prevention and GED recovery goals,” said Childress. “We plan to enlist community members to partner with local school districts in dropout prevention practices, namely mentoring.” Childress said it’s important to identify children at-risk for dropping out as early as possible. “We want to add a one hour, per week mentoring program modeled after the DARE program,” he added. The task force will address the GED recovery process by attempting to increase the educational completer rate in Corinth and Alcorn County to 90 percent by 2014. “We will work to increase the number of enrollees and compellers of vocational and workforce training by 10 percent,” said Childress. “We’ll do this by working with WIN Job Center and the Alcorn County Career Center.” The GED compellers rate for Alcorn County is 81.6 percent and 84 percent in Corinth.

Today in history
Leon Frazier Memorial Scholarship
Today is Sunday, June 22, the 173rd day of 2014. There are 192 days left in the year.
The Kiwanis Club of Corinth recently presented its annual Leon Frazier Memorial Scholarship during the annual Leon Frazier Memorial Singing. Recipients included Tyler Bryant of Kossuth, Courtney Evetts of Kossuth, Blythe Bullard of Kossuth, Ariana Ruiz of Kossuth, Audrey Crump of Biggersville, Jerwarski Marshall of Biggersville, Kimberly Fowler of Biggersville, Robert Levi Chase of Biggersville, Briana Duncan of Corinth and Clint Ellis of Alcorn Central. Over the past 17 years, the club has awarded 218 scholarships for a total of $174,000.
Today’s Highlight in History: On June 22, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, more popularly known as the “GI Bill of Rights.”
On this date: In 1611, English explorer Henry Hudson, his son and several other people were set adrift in present-day Hudson Bay by mutineers aboard the Discovery; their fate remains unknown. In 1870, the United States Department of Justice was created. In 1937, Joe Louis began his reign as world heavyweight boxing champion by knocking out Jim Braddock in the eighth round of their fight in Chicago. In 1938, Joe Louis knocked out Max Schmeling in the first round of their rematch at Yankee Stadium. In 1940, during World War II, Adolf Hitler gained a stunning victory as France was forced to sign an armistice eight days after German forces overran Paris. In 1959, the Swedish film “Wild Strawberries,” written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, opened in New York. In 1964, in a pair of rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the Henry Miller novel “Tropic of Cancer” and the French film “The Lovers” were not obscene. In 1974, French composer Darius Milhaud, 81, died in Geneva. In 1977, John N. Mitchell became the first former U.S. Attorney General to go to prison as he began serving a sentence for his role in the Watergate cover-up. (He was released 19 months later.) In 1984, the British airline Virgin Atlantic began operations. In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court, in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, unanimously ruled that “hate crime” laws that banned cross burning and similar expressions of racial bias violated free-speech rights.

Derrick, of Rienzi VFD, following closely behind, the two soon found their lives in jeopardy. Beavers and Derrick had made their way to the end of the hallway when flames began to kick up and showed along the top of the walls of the smoke filled home. Beavers said the worst thing that could possibly have happened at that time, did. “We were at the end of the hallway fighting the fire and all of a sudden I felt the hose go limp. I was on the nozzle and I couldn’t get any water at all. When you’re inside a burning building and someone turns the wrong valve and cuts off your water, it gets very exciting. I had my portable radio with me and I asked the guys outside to get the water turned back on,” said the volunteer firefighter. “They never heard me but Karen, a 911 dispatcher did. By this time the fire was getting worse so I told Brandon to back out and we were able to escape unharmed. We could have gotten hurt really bad, but thank the Lord we didn’t and I don’t think Brandon ever realized we were in trouble. I certainly didn’t want to cause any panic.” It was later discovered that a new member was running the pump and had accidentally cut off the water valve to the hose in an attempt to open another and add water. “It was definitely a scary moment,” said Beavers who started volunteering in 1992. He now has 22 years under his belt as a vol-
unteer. “ I ’ d like to think t h a t I ’ v e made a difference in my twenBeavers ty-two years and I hope that I have,” he said. The 45-year-old said he never meant to be in the fire service at all. “I was at the Glen fire station watching the trains go by with my step son when they got a fire call and asked us to come along,” said Beavers. “After seeing how limited the man power was and how limited their equipment was, I wanted to help. So, I got involved.” Later in 1996, while working at First American Bank, he joined the Rienzi Volunteer Fire Department under Chief Jimmy Bishop. “Right off the bat they were reluctant to accept me and for the first time in my career, I felt like an outsider. After some time, the town embraced me and was very good to me. Eventually, the rest of the crew did as well and I became the training officer,” he said. “We accomplished a great deal with the fire department during my time there. Rienzi Chief Jimmy Bishop and I became best of friends. Jimmy passed away not long ago and I miss him dearly.” After becoming a state certified volunteer, Beavers challenged his friends, Patrick Claunch, Jackie Farr and James McAnally to become state fire service instructors.
“They took up my challenge. We all passed the course and began to teach other volunteers. I am very proud of what we have accomplished,” said the deputy chief. “As my career progressed, I soon learned that no two fires are the same, each one is different. Every time I go to a fire, I learn something new.” He expressed his frustration at the lack of interest and commitment he sees among some of the younger fire fighters today. “I think there is a lot of opportunity for young people in the field, but many don’t seem to be warming up to the idea and that makes me sad,” said Beavers. “There will always be those who want to have a red light, a siren, a radio to talk on and dress up at fires, but we need some dedicated young people who want to fight fire. We have to turn this responsibility over to someone.” He identified his uncle, the late J.W. Dalton, a former Captain the Corinth Fire Department as having a tremendous influence on his life. Friends that have helped and influenced his volunteer career are Patrick Claunch, Jackie Farr, James Mcanally, Memphis Fire Department Battalion Chief Terry Norris, Lt. Gerald Crawford, Lt. Scott Harbin, Florence Fire Dept. Training Chief, Terry Bucannon and Tupelo Fire Chief, Thomas Walker. “They are my go-to guys. I’ve learned most of what I know from them. They help me, encourage me and keep me on the right track. If I have a question, one of them will have the answer,”

he said. “The guys from Memphis have spent the past five years teaching me so much. I visit them often and I have made more runs with the Memphis Fire Department than I have my entire fire service career in Alcorn county. The types of fire calls we have made together and the knowledge I have gained from them is tremendous. I bring that knowledge back and share it with my guys at Glen. I will forever be in their debt.” Sometimes called a dreamer with big city ideas, Beavers says that doesn’t bother him in the least. A lot of those big city ideas and dreams have come to fruition. “The guys at Glen embrace my big city ideas well and they support me one hundred percent. They are my brothers and I think the world of them.” he said. “We have accomplished a lot at Glen and it’s because of our close bond that we have been able to accomplish so much. You can’t really argue with the results.” Beavers said one big dream, which may never come to pass, would be to see the county fire rating lowered and more hydrants placed near churches, subdivisions and larger buildings. “If we had these hydrants, it would help out tremendously, “said Beavers. “You know you’re having a bad day when you have to call for a fire engine and when you do, you certainly want the fire department to have plenty of water.” Out of respect for the families involved, Beavers chose not to divulge the worst things he has witnessed while on the
job, but visibly cringed at the memory. “There are some things we just shouldn’t talk about and I will let it go at that,” said Beavers. “I am by no means a hero in any shape, form or fashion,” he said. “I’m just a person who has tried to make a difference.” His most recent honor was earning a position as a grant writer for the Corinth Fire Department. “The guys at Corinth need a lot of new equipment and with grants, I am going to do my best to get it for them. We are already having some success,” said Beavers. “One sense of pride for me is to know that some of the things we’ve done through the grant writing and training has and will save lives,” said Beavers. “Knowing that items I had a hand in helping to acquire will be in the field for many years to come gives me great satisfaction. The good Lord has blessed us, no doubt.” In addition to working with the fire department, the Corinth native also serves as a Vice President with South Bank. “I am honored to have an employer who supports my volunteer work and I am blessed to have a boss like Gerald McLamore who encourages my participation.” In addition to other diplomas and honors, Beavers holds an Associate of Arts degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College, a B.A. and a M.B.A. in banking and finance from Trinity College. Beavers is the father of Victoria Beavers and the stepfather of Amanda Turner Essary and the late Michael Turner, Jr.

Corinth, Miss.
Too little, too late? George W. Bush never claimed to be prescient, but here he is in 2007, warning us what would happen if the United States prematurely pulled its troops out of Iraq before Iraqi forces were suffiCal ciently trained, equipped and Thomas motivated to defend the country we gave back to them after Columnist the ouster of Saddam Hussein: “To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we’re ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States. It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al-Qaida. It’d mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It’d mean we’d allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It’d mean we’d be increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.” President Obama is proving Bush right, sort of. He is deploying 275 troops back to Iraq, not for combat, but to secure American assets there and protect those in the U.S. Embassy. We will not engage. We will secure and protect. Won’t that make a charming picture for America’s enemies -- the “Great Satan” retreating in the face of a few thousand members of “Allah’s army”? It will serve as a productive recruiting film for more jihadists to come join the fight. The most powerful nation on Earth, supposedly, has arrived at this embarrassing moment precisely because we refuse to use that power with sufficient force and commitment. America’s enemies know the will of the American people has a relatively short shelf life. We tire too quickly, preferring to focus more on celebrity culture then on those who have vowed to destroy us. We are weary of war. If the same standards we use for fighting wars today were applied in World War II, Nazi Germany would have won. Restrictive rules of engagement have also weakened the ability of American forces to defend themselves and achieve their objectives. Too often soldiers are told they cannot fire unless fired upon, which has likely led to the killing and wounding of U.S. soldiers. Preemptive strikes appear to be things of the past. Jihadists have long hid among civilians, knowing of America’s (and Israel’s) reluctance to cause collateral damage. The jihadists know this, and endangering civilians appears to have become central to their strategy. When civilians are killed (or even when some pretend to be dead for propaganda purposes) and their pictures are put on TV and the Internet as proof of the West’s ferocity and heartlessness, it can lead to the weakening of Western resolve and cause political damage to those in office. Enemies and adversaries of the United States no longer fear this country. Under President Obama, people like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, dictators like Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and jihadists of no known national origin (though increasing numbers of Westerners, including some Americans, are joining them), see an opportunity for chaos created by a president who appears to think “climate change” is a greater threat to the world than terrorism. If President Obama fought terrorism with the same zeal he devotes to “climate change,” the terrorists might be the ones retreating, not America. (Cal Thomas’ latest book is “What Works: Common Sense Solutions for a Stronger America” is available in bookstores now. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.)
Prayer for today Almighty God, I pray that thou wilt sustain me when I may be enduring for a purpose, and to accomplish it seems beyond my strength. Renew me with courage, and give me unceasing hope, and faith that is able to hold out to the end. Amen.

Why has state senate primary run up a $16.4 million tab? STARKVILLE — As of June 19, Mississippi’s 2014 U.S. Senate race had run up a tab of $16,352,087 and growing, according to the Sunlight Foundation’s “Influence Explorer” web site. See for yourself at http:// realtime.influenceexplorer. com/race/2014/S/MS/2/. For perspective, consider that in the 2012 federal election cycle, only four Senate races around the nation cost more than the tab on Mississippi’s 2014 race – and those races were run in much larger media markets. In 2012, the Massachusetts Senate race between GOP incumbent Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren saw $85.4 million spent, but only $6.8 million of that total was outside spending. Warren, the Democrat, won. That same year, the Virginia Senate race for an open seat between Republican George Allen and Democrat Tim Kaine saw an $80.9 million tab with $49.8 million in outside spending. Kaine, the Democrat, won. The Ohio Senate race between Democratic U.S. Sen.
Sherrod Brown and Republican challenger Josh Mandel totaled a tab of $79.2 Sid Salter million with $36.9 milColumnist lion in outside spending. Brown, the Democrat, won. In the Wisconsin Senate race, the tab was $63.6 million with $39.3 million in outside spending as Democrat Tammy Baldwin defeated Republican Tommy Thompson. But these four mind-boggling political expenditures were general election campaigns in which Democrats and Republicans were slugging it out. Mississippi political meter is running on a $16.4 million fight between Republicans in a primary. According to the non-partisan site, the Mississippi Republican Senate Primary between incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran and GOP challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel race had on June 19 attracted $5.64 million in combined official campaign committee fund-
ing – with $4.01 million for the Cochran campaign and $1.54 million for the McDaniel campaign. But it is in the arena of outside spending by PACs, super PACs or 501c groups – literally a total of $10.7 million in money that was spent by third parties seeking to influence the outcome of the race by advocating issues and supporting or opposing the respective candidates – that the race may well ultimately be defined. McDaniel has drawn $5.58 million in outside spending by groups seeking to elect him or to defeat Cochran. Cochran has drawn $5.17 million in outside spending by groups seeking to elect him or to defeat McDaniel. As of May 30, Club for Growth alone has spent over $3.1 million trying to elect McDaniel and unseat Cochran. Senate Conservatives Fund and Senate Conservatives Action have spent $1.6 million to benefit the McDaniel effort. The pro-Cochran super PAC Mississippi Conservatives has spent over $1.64 million to elect Cochran
and defeat McDaniel. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has spent $1 million to help Cochran. The National Association of Realtors has spent $781,144 supporting Cochran. Again, for perspective, Democrat Travis Childers has raised $82,175 and no outside spending has been made for or against him. Why do these outside groups have a $10.7 million interest in the outcome of Mississippi’s GOP Senate primary? Should we expect these groups to maintain a presence in Mississippi politics the day after the June 24th second primary? Will these groups take a similar interest in Republican primary politics for statewide and legislative offices in 2015? What about the general election? Will new outside spending groups emerge in a general election to support Childers’ very viable candidacy? Mississippi voters who aren’t asking those basic questions aren’t paying attention.

As long as U.S. leaders game the system, so will illegals In 2012, the current administration made it clear that certain unaccompanied illegal minors would not be deported if caught. This helped create an atmosphere of tolerance that would be conducive to the current rash of illegal dumping of thousands of children from south of the border into the United States. Now we have a humanitarian crisis that appears to have been manufactured for political reasons. One would not have to be incredibly bright to predict that families in South and Central America, as well as in Mexico, would recognize a veiled invitation to get their children into the United States with little chance of deportation. Of course, the media are asking opponents of the administration for solutions to this crisis. Almost anything these opponents suggest will be either harsh, making them appear cruel and callous, or weak, making them appear to be amnesty supporters. Either way, they will take a political hit. Meanwhile, the administration can stay above the fray and receive the political benefit of gratitude from many legal and illegal immigrants. It’s a clever and effective ploy with the added benefit of redistributing even more American wealth.

It remains to be seen how many people will be hoodwinked. We all have heard Ben it said many Carson times that America is a Columnist land of immigrants, some voluntary and some involuntary. We have plenty of space in our country, but insufficient jobs and insufficient resources to support everyone who wants to come here. When we see innocent children used as political pawns, it still tugs at our heartstrings, which is the intent. The real question is: What are we going to do about it? The combination of immigration reform being a tough issue and a political football has led to governmental stalemates and no useful solutions for decades. To begin to solve this problem, we must have some understanding of why it exists. Despite all of its problems, America is still the place of dreams. As such, it is small wonder that so many from other nations would like to live here. The benefits of an American domicile are so great that they currently outweigh issues of legality. Incentives for illegal immigration are easy enroll-
ment in public schools, easy employment for those willing to take jobs others don’t want, easy access to health care and easy acquisition of public support through welfare programs. These and other inducements produce an osmotic effect that attracts people to our land. Any discussion of immigration reform should include bipartisan solutions to these inducements. If these issues are not addressed, solutions will fall short. On the other hand, if all of these issues are addressed firmly and consistently, the osmotic effect will be reversed. Just as people found a way to get here, they would find a way to leave on their own, and others would be less tempted to attempt illegal entry. Detractors will say that if it were that simple, it already would have been done and we wouldn’t be having this discussion. What they fail to account for is the fact that the issues have not been addressed. A national guest-worker program makes sense and seems to work well in Canada. Noncitizens would have to apply for a guest-worker permit and have a guaranteed job awaiting them. Taxes would be paid at a rate commensurate with other U.S. workers, and special visas would allow for easy

entry and egress across borders. Guest-worker status would be granted to individuals and not to groups. It is essential that employers bear some responsibility for making sure that no illegal immigrants are hired. Employers who break the rules should receive swift, severe and consistent punishment that constitutes a real deterrent and not a mere inconvenience. A second infraction should be a criminal offense and treated as such. All of this is irrelevant unless we have secure borders. There is much that can be learned from security personnel in prisons and other secured facilities, and there is a great deal of smart technology that could be employed to achieve secure borders. It is a matter of will rather than ability. The point is this: We must create a system that disincentivizes illegal immigration and upholds the rule of law while providing us with a steady stream of immigrants from other nations who will strengthen our society. Let’s solve the problem and stop playing political football. Ben S. Carson is professor emeritus of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University and author of the new book “One Nation: What We Can All Do To Save America’s Future” (Sentinel).

Obama: Workplace flexibility a need WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says child care, family leave and workplace flexibility aren’t frills, they’re basic needs. In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama is lamenting workplace policies that he says are outdated. He says the U.S. is one of just three countries that don’t require paid maternity leave. Obama says some businesses are pursuing family friendly policies. But he says the U.S. must make it easier for parents and those with sick relatives to stay in the workplace. He says something’s wrong when hard workers must choose between work and family. Obama plans to hold a summit on working families on Monday.
General demoted for sex misconduct WASHINGTON — The Army is reducing the rank of a brigadier general at the center of a sexual misconduct case by two grades for his pending retirement, in a rare move that will slash his benefits and force him to retire as a lieutenant colonel. Army Secretary John McHugh announced the decision Friday, saying that Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair “displayed a pattern of inappropriate and at times illegal behavior both while serving as a brigadier general and a colonel.� Sinclair is due to retire in late summer. McHugh’s move comes three months after Sinclair pleaded
guilty at a court martial to adultery and conducting inappropriate relationships with two other women. Over the past year, his case has been a central topic in Congress in the debate over whether the military has adequately handled sexual assault cases.
Unemployment fell in 20 states in May WASHINGTON — Unemployment fell in 20 states last month and nearly three-quarters of the states added jobs, as the nation at large posted a fourth straight month of solid hiring. Unemployment rates rose in 16 states and were unchanged in 14 states, the Labor Department said Friday. Meanwhile, hiring rose in 36 states and declined in 14. The biggest drops in unemployment rates occurred in Illinois, where the rate fell to 7.5 percent from 7.9 percent, and Massachusetts, where it fell to 5.6 percent from 6 percent. Georgia reported the largest increase, to 7.2 percent from 6.9 percent. Nationwide, employers added 217,000 jobs in May, the fourth straight month of gains above 200,000. That’s the first such stretch since 1999. The unemployment rate remained at 6.3 percent, matching a five-year low.
Rescuers search for outdoors writer MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. — Rescuers on Mount Rainier are spending a third day searching for well-known outdoors writer Karen Sykes, who hasn’t been seen since

she separated from her hiking partner on Wednesday. The National Park Service said six ground crews, including two dog teams, were combing an expanded search area near the Owyhigh Lakes Trail on Rainier’s east side. Rescuers also searched by air. The 70-year-old Sykes was reportedly working on a story when she and her partner encountered snow at about 5,000 feet. Her partner stayed as she went on, with the idea that they’d reconvene, but she never turned up. The partner reported her missing at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Shooting involving rapper not random DENVER — Authorities say they believe a shooting involving rapper ScHoolboy Q after a concert at the historic Red Rocks amphitheater west of Denver was not a random act of violence. Jacki Kelley, a spokeswoman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, said Saturday that “this is not just a coincidence. We think there is probably more to it than that.� The rapper was not hurt in Thursday night’s shooting, but three other people in the vehicle he was in sustained non-life threatening injuries. No arrests have been made, but Kelley says investigators have received numerous tips. ScHoolboy Q, whose birth name is Quincy Matthew Hanley, is from Los Angeles. His most recent album, “Oxymoron,� debuted at No. 1 earlier this year and reflects his life as a father and former gang member.

Counties see brisk absentee voting JACKSON — Mississippi election officials report heavy absentee voting leading into Tuesday’s Republican primary runoff for U.S. Senate. Millions of dollars have been spent in the race between six-term Sen. Thad Cochran and tea partybacked challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel. Both candidates are campaigning in the northern part of the state Saturday and are headed south Sunday. Noon Saturday was the deadline for in-person absentee voting. Mail-in absentee ballots must be returned by Monday. Several Republican counties report an increase in absentee voting for the runoff compared to the June 3 primary. They include DeSoto and Lee in the north, Madison and Rankin in central Mississippi and Jackson County on the coast.
McDaniel changes education stance JACKSON — U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel is changing his statements about federal school funding in the past two weeks, after coming under sharp criticism from former Gov. Haley Barbour and state education leaders. Barbour and other critics say McDaniel has dangerous ideas that rob hundreds of millions of dollars a year from one of the poorest states in the nation. McDaniel, a tea partybacked state senator from Ellisville, is trying to unseat six-term U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran in a Republican primary runoff Tuesday. McDaniel told The As-
sociated Press in April that the federal government should have no role in education, not even in funding it. He’s now saying publicly that Mississippi should take federal money.
Beach reopens after bacteria sampling GULFPORT — Mississippi’s Department of Environmental Quality has ended its closure of a section of beach in Gulfport, saying bacteria levels in the water are again at acceptable levels. The affected area stretched from Alfonso Drive east to Arkansas Avenue in Gulfport. On June 10, the agency reported an estimated 56,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the Mississippi Sound. Gulfport Public Works Director Wayne Miller told The Sun Herald last week that a manhole was mistakenly filled with concrete. He said fixes are being explored, but a bypass is in place to prevent further leaks.
Democrats to pick nominee on Tuesday JACKSON — Though drawing less attention than Mississippi’s Republican U.S Senate runoff, two Democrats face off Tuesday for their party’s nomination in the 3rd Congressional District. Doug Magee of Mendenhall and Dennis Quinn of Magnolia are running in the district that crosses all or parts of 24 counties from Starkville southwest through the Jackson area and Natchez. Magee is a 72-year-old semi-retired lawyer. He led the June 3 primary. Quinn is a 65-year-old former Magnolia alder-
man trailed. Bay Springs teacher Jim Liljeberg missed the runoff. Magee says Republicans are in thrall to corporate special interests. Quinn says he wants to promote economic development.
Man gets 12 years in child porn case GULFPORT — A south Mississippi man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for possessing child pornography. Harrison County Judge Lisa Dodson sentenced 48-year-old Michael Ishee of Saucier on Friday. Ishee also must pay a $10,000 fine, plus $1,000 to the Mississippi Children’s Trust Fund and $300 to the Crime Victim Compensation Fund. He was sentenced in Harrison County Circuit Court after entering a guilty plea to one count of child exploitation.
Brookhaven starts work on park trail BROOKHAVEN — Construction has begun on a walking trail at Bicentennial Park in Brookhaven. The Daily Leader reported the new trail will wrap around the park in an eight-foot and quartermile loop. It will include five exercise stations and clear views of the playground so parents can monitor their children while walking. Last year, Brookhaven was awarded a $25,000 grant from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation for its effort in becoming a healthier town. As the administrator of the grant, the Healthy Hometown Committee voted to incorporate a new walking trail at the park on Main Street.

Mississippi unemployment rises, tied for 4th highest Associated Press
Mississippi’s unemployment rate in May was tied with Kentucky’s for the nation’s fourth-highest. But that 7.7 percent rate was still well below Mississippi’s 9 percent rate a year earlier. The national unemployment rate remained stable from April to May at 6.3 percent, while Mississippi’s rose from 7.5 percent. Preliminary data in a separate survey indicated Mississippi had gained 15,300 jobs from a year earlier, to more than 1.12 million. About 4,100 of that increase came in May. The U.S. Labor Department makes two surveys: one of employers, asking how many people are on their pay-
rolls, the other of workers and would-be workers. Both sets of figures, adjusted to cancel out normal seasonal changes, were released Friday. The states with the nation’s highest and lowest unemployment rates remained the same: Rhode Island at 8.2 percent and North Dakota at 2.6 percent. Unemployment rates went down from April in 20 states, up in 16, and were flat in 14 states and the District of Columbia. The Labor Department found 98,200 Mississippians without jobs in May, up 2,700 from April. The labor force of about 1.27 million grew by 300 people while the number of people holding jobs fell 2,400, to just under 1.17 million.

A percentage of the day’s sales will go directly to the shelter. In addition to monetary donations, dog food, pet food, cleaning supplies, newspapers and volunteered time will be accepted and are appreciated.

trailed statewide by about 1,400 votes. Hernando realtor Thomas L. Carey’s appearance on the ballot
carved out enough votes to send the race to a runoff between Cochran, the six-term senator, and McDaniel, the district 42 state senator and attorney from Ellisville. Both Cochran and McDaniel have made campaign stops in Alcorn County in the last couple of days. Anyone who voted in the Republican primary or did not cast a ballot at all in the first primary can vote in the Republican runoff. Those who voted in the Democratic primary cannot “cross over” and vote in this election. “Some people have wanted to know if they did not vote at all if they can vote in this election, and
that lets you know those people are probably going to go vote,” said Caldwell. Signs will be up again to remind voters of precinct changes. The fellowship hall of Pinecrest Baptist Church replaced Skateland, and county voters who previously voted at the College Hill precinct now vote at the new Bigersville fire station on Highway 45, which is called the Shady Grove precinct. Everyone affected by the changes should have received a letter, but some were returned due to addresses that haven’t been updated, said Caldwell. A number of people continue to think it’s city election time, he said, but that is coming up later in the year. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, and an acceptable form of photo identification is required.

Oil analyst an average of 21 cents per gallon, according to AAA. This year, drivers are paying more. The average has risen every day for a week, and is now higher than it was on Memorial Day — with more increases sure to come. Higher fuel costs can reduce economic growth — in the U.S. and around the world — because they raise costs for businesses and leave drivers with less money to spend on other things. In the U.S., a ten-cent rise in the price of gasoline only costs a typical driver an extra $1.50 to fill up a tank, but if that rise is sustained over a year it costs the U.S. economy $13.5 billion. The average gas price so far this year, however, is still 5 cents cheaper than it was last year over the same period. Even before violence in Iraq broke out, gasoline prices were falling more slowly than expected because of rising U.S. fuel

Citing unnamed people familiar with the matter, the Journal said production of the smartwatch is expected to begin in two or three months at Quanta Computer Inc., a Taiwanese company that has worked on Apple’s Mac computers. Sales of the device could begin as early as October. Apple declined comment in line with its policy of not discussing future products.

demand and extensive maintenance at some Gulf Coast refineries that reduced gasoline output. Then, last week, Iraqi insurgents seized a pair of cities and pledged to attack Baghdad. None of Iraq’s oil fields were targeted — most are far away from the fighting — and oil exports have continued to flow. But Iraq is OPEC’s second-largest exporter, so concern that oil production might be impacted has been enough to send global oil prices up by $6, to around $115 per barrel. The average price of gas rose 3 cents per gallon during the past week, and analysts expect more increases over the next couple of weeks. Higher crude prices generally make for higher fuel prices around the world, too, but the effects on drivers vary widely. In many countries, gasoline prices are subsidized, so drivers don’t see the effects of price
changes quickly. In other nations, especially in Europe, fuels are taxed so heavily that a moderate change in the underlying price of fuel is hardly noticed. How the situation in Iraq plays out is hard to predict, but analysts note that the global market is well-supplied with oil and fuels. Morgan Stanley wrote in a recent report that the potential for a significantly higher sustained oil price was “limited without a major disruption,” and that “the conflict will likely be contained primarily North of Baghdad, limiting the impact on oil exports.” But drivers in 15 states are already paying more for gas than they have since March of 2013, according to Kloza. The national average will likely soon surpass this year’s high of $3.70 per gallon, set on April 28. Kloza thinks the national average may get close to last year’s high of $3.79 per gallon, but he does not expect to see it reach the highs of 2011 and 2012, when it rose above $3.90 per gallon. And the chances of the average crossing the $4 mark? “The (last place) Mets have a better chance of winning the World Series,” he said.

Violence in Iraq is helping to make gasoline in the U.S. more expensive, depriving drivers of the usual price break between Memorial Day and July Fourth. Global oil prices have risen 5 percent since an insurgency took over two Iraqi cities. Any sustained increase in oil and gasoline prices can damp economic growth. In the U.S., the average price of $3.68 per gallon is the highest price for this time of year since 2008, the year gasoline hit its all-time high. The good news is that gasoline is not likely to spike above $4 as it did 6 years ago, experts say. Or even cross $3.90, as in 2011 and 2012. “You are going to pay a little more than we thought you were going to pay,” says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service and GasBuddy.com. “But you are not going to see any apocalyptic numbers.” Gasoline prices typically fall in the weeks following Memorial Day, after supplies increase enough to fill up the cars of the nation’s vacationers as summer approaches. Prices have declined during the previous three Junes, by

screening. Following orders from Congress, the Transportation Security Administration is poised to raise the fee to $5.60 each way. That’s up from $2.50 each way for a nonstop flight and $5 for a trip including connections. Trips with long stopovers — more than four hours on most domestic travel — will have bigger increases because each leg will trigger a new fee. The proposed changes will be published Friday in the Federal Register and take effect 30 days later. Congress approved higher TSA fees as part of a December budget deal. Despite protests against the TSA’s proposal, Congress dictated that the security fee rise to $5.60. There is a 60-day public comment period, but it would likely take another act of Congress to change TSA’s rules. A spokeswoman for industry trade group Airlines for America says the changes will hurt people in smaller cities who must take more one-way flights to get where they’re going.

MANAUS, Brazil — Moths and mosquitoes circled when the United States took the field for practice Saturday evening at Arena da Amazonia, a 40,000seat stadium built in a remote area of the rainforest where the Rio Negro meets the Amazon. And as the Americans stretched in the heat and humidity in their final training session before Sunday’s World Cup game against Portugal, a double rainbow shimmered — said by some to herald an occurrence with great meaning. With a win over the Portuguese and reigning world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo, the U.S. would accomplish a pair of American firsts: reaching the knockout stage of consecutive World Cups and advancing with a game to spare. “This is now the moment where you can prove yourself. This is the moment where you can step up and play those guys and put them in place,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. “So we want to put Cristiano and his team in his place.” The Americans opened with a 2-1 win over Ghana on Monday behind Please see CUP | 9
sition, took a 3-1 lead in the fourth after loading the bases against Chris Ellis (10-3). Coman drove Ellis’ 1-0 pitch into right field for two runs, and another came home on Branden Cogswell’s squeeze bunt. Joe McCarthy, who came to bat in the seventh 1 for 12 in the CWS, delivered an insurance run with a double deep into right center. The Cavaliers stayed close after falling behind 1-0 thanks to some gritty work by Sborz in the third. Ole Miss loaded the bases on a single and two walks, but the threat ended when Sborz got Will Allen to line out to third. Coman, who went 2 for 4, was in the lineup for the first
time at the CWS, taking over for Nate Irving at catcher. Irving had come to Omaha 3 for his last 34 and hitless in 18 at-bats, but he had come through in Virginia’s first two games. Last Sunday he scored the winning run against Ole Miss in the bottom of the ninth, and on Tuesday he bounced a hit over the left-field wall for a ground-rule double to set the stage for a 15-inning win over TCU. But with Sborz on the mound, Coman drew the start Saturday, as he did when Sborz pitched Virginia to victory in the super regionalclinching win over Maryland two weeks ago.
lowed five hits — three over his final seven innings — with three strikeouts and one walk. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 16th save. Rendon’s RBI single in the third gave Washington its first lead of the series and his run-scoring double in the seventh made it 3-0. Braves starter Julio Teheran (6-5) struck out a seasonhigh 10 batters. He allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings. Atlanta had won five straight against the Nationals, seven of eight this season,
and was 20-7 since the start of the 2013 campaign. Braves catcher Evan Gattis extended his major-league leading hitting streak to 20 games with a sixth-inning single. Fister and Teheran lived up to the hype and locked up in a pitchers’ duel. Fister, who has won six of seven starts, has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of nine starts this season. Atlanta had back-to-back one-out singles in the first inning, but Fister fought back. He got out of the jam
and started a streak of nine straight batters retired. He didn’t allow another hit until the fifth inning in front of a sellout crowd. Teheran, who frequently stepped off the mound during his outing, struck out the side in the fifth inning. After walking Adam LaRoche in the sixth, and with a 1-0 count on Zimmerman, Teheran again shuffled around on the mound, and was called for a balk. Two pitches later, Zimmerman’s single drove home LaRoche.
Wie holds share of lead at U.S. Women’s Open BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press
PINEHURST, N.C. — In the midst of throwing away a four-shot lead, Michelle Wie never lost sight of the big picture at Pinehurst No. 2. The U.S. Women’s Open rarely goes according to plan, and Saturday was no exception. Wie knows that from experience long ago, and she settled down with four important pars to wind up with a 54-hole share of the lead for the third time in her career. Wie was a teenager the other two times. Now at 24, she was one round away from capturing her first major. “I’m just grateful for another opportunity,” Wie said after salvaging a 2-over 72 to tie Amy Yang. “Tomorrow I’m
going to play as hard as I can and hope for the best.” Yang, who earned a spot in the final group for the second time in three years, didn’t make a par until the eighth hole in a wild round so typical of this day. Only a sloppy bogey on the final hole cost her the outright lead, though she was more than happy with a 68. They were at 2-under 208, the only players still under par. A pivotal moment for Wie came on the 12th hole. She reached 6 under for the tournament with back-to-back birdies at the turn. She made her first double bogey of the tournament with a tee shot she hooked into the pine trees on the 11th. Her next drive
sailed well to the right and settled on a sandy path. Instead of punching under the trees and over the bunker to the green — anything long is a tough up-and-down — she pitched out to the fairway and made bogey. “U.S. Opens are tough,” she said. “I feel like maybe on a different golf course, I would have taken that chance. You just don’t want to be too greedy out here. Even though you make bogey, sometimes you just don’t want to make a double out here. I felt like I made the right decision there.” The USGA set the course up relative to what the men faced last Saturday in the U.S. Open when wire-to-wire winner Martin Kaymer had his only
over-par round with a 72. It was short (6,270 yards) but tough because of the pin positions. That didn’t stop Juli Inkster. The 53-year-old Hall of Famer, who has said her 35th appearance in the Women’s Open will be her last, had a tournament-best 66 to get into contention. She will be in the penultimate group, four shots out of the lead, still dreaming of a third Open title that would make her by 10 years the oldest Women’s Open winner. “You can think and you can dream all you want,” Inkster said. “But the bottom line is you’ve got to come out and make the shots.

Something is happening just beneath the fight over the name of a certain Washington, D.C., pro football team: America is working through the process of determining what is — or is not — racially offensive. What is a slur, and who gets to decide? How many people must be offended to tip the scales? Why should some be forced to sacrifice their traditions out of respect for others? We are a long way from consensus on these questions, judging by the response to a federal ruling that the “Redskins” team name is disparaging and its trademarks should be canceled. The team is appealing the decision, and even if it loses its trademark, it can still use the name. But this latest development highlights the limitations of how America wrestles with certain racial
statements, and our struggle to balance free speech and social good. A rapidly diversifying nation has more need than ever to figure out what is racially offensive. Some offenses are undeniable: NBA owner Donald Sterling earned universal condemnation for asking his mistress not to bring black people to his games. Yet in an era of blunt and sometimes coarse online discussion and political debate, Americans continue to disagree about the nature of calling Hispanics who cross the border without documents “illegals,” or the propriety of images that depict President Barack Obama as a “witch doctor.” And it took years of discussion to win makeovers for Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben, the stereotypical black faces used to sell syrup and rice. Jim McCarthy, a lawyer who followed the Redskins trademark case, said he is
not offended by the name, but “there’s no denying the fact that a certain percentage of Native Americans are offended. We don’t know if it’s a minority, a majority, but it’s a fact.” “If we want to be the best version of ourselves in our society, do we want to promote that, or do we want to minimize that?” he asked. “I’d love it to be different where people just cooperate to effect change,” he said. “But we’re a very adversarial society.” Michael Lindsay, who was lead attorney for a group of Native Americans in a prior trademark case, said there are two ways to determine if something is offensive. “The first is the legal path. The other is out in the real world. The legal test, it seems to me, actually does have something to teach the real world,” said Lindsay, of the Dorsey and Whitney firm in Minneapolis.
Here is what the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, ruling Wednesday in a case first filed more than 20 years ago, tried to show the real world: —What matters is if “Redskins” is disparaging to Native Americans — whether other ethnic groups are offended doesn’t matter. —A “substantial” percentage of Native Americans must be offended — not a majority. The judges defined that threshold at 30 percent. —A disparaging term does not require intent: “Redskins” can still be disparaging even if the team says it is intended to show honor and respect. Based on testimony from linguistics and lexicography experts, and a review of how the term was used in dictionaries, books, newspapers, magazines and movies, the board ruled 2-1 that the term was disparaging to Native Americans.
Vanderbilt beats Texas in 10th inning, goes to CWS finals BY ERIC OLSEN Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Tyler Campbell’s bases-loaded infield single in the bottom of the 10th inning gave Vanderbilt a 4-3 win over Texas on Saturday night and sent the Commodores to the College World Series finals against Virginia. Campbell was in his second game filling in for third
baseman Xavier Turner, who was ruled ineligible Friday for a violation of NCAA rules. Campbell had only 21 at-bats this season when he stepped to the plate in the 10th. He sent a slow grounder toward shortstop C.J. Hinojosa, who charged the ball, but couldn’t get it to first in time to get Campbell. Freshman Hayden Stone (3-0) struck out eight in 5 2-3
innings of relief of Carson Fulmer. Vanderbilt (49-20) gives the SEC a team in the CWS finals for the seventh straight year. John Curtiss (2-3) took the loss for Texas (46-21). Vanderbilt survived a couple of scares to advance to the best-of-three CWS championship series, which begins Monday night. In the fifth inning, Fulmer
issued three straight walks to load the bases with one out. Stone came on and Ben Johnson hit into an inningending double play on his first pitch. In the Texas 10th, Hinojosa drilled a ball deep to right, but Rhett Wiseman sprinted into the right-center field gap and extended his glove to make the catch before falling onto the warning track.

John Brooks’ 86th-minute goal, while Portugal dropped an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Germany. When Ghana and Germany tied 2-2 on Saturday, the U.S. was suddenly in position to clinch advancement with a win Sunday. “That’s a good result for us, to know that if we can win, we take care of business, the rest is history,” goalkeeper Tim Howard said. A victory over the fourth-ranked Portuguese would mean the U.S. could then win the group with a tie against Germany next week. Klinsmann, a former star striker and coach for Germany, was so excited to watch the end of Saturday’s game that he ran out of his own news conference after about five minutes, took in the final moments, then returned to answer more questions. “It just confirms what we all knew from the beginning on, that it’s a very, very difficult group,” he said. “It’s a
huge opportunity tomorrow here in Manaus, and we will definitely go for it.” The Americans needed a shot in the arm for this match — up to five inoculations per player, to be precise, for protection against typhoid, yellow fever, tetanus, hepatitis A and influenza after they started training last month in California. Players also were offered medication to prevent malaria, the mosquitoborne infectious disease, but all 23 declined. “It’s a World Cup,” Chris Wondolowski said. “It doesn’t matter what’s going into your body or how hot it will be.” After making the 1,680-mile flight from their base in Sao Paulo, the Americans found themselves in typical weather for the first day of winter: The forecast was for 80 degrees (27 Celsius) at the start of the game with high humidity that will make it feel more like 90 (32 Celsius). AccuWeather said there was a chance of a thunderstorm early in the game.

tied for the lead coming up 18, then maybe I’ll think about it. I’ve got a long way to go. I’m just going to enjoy the moment and hit a few balls and see what happens.” Also remaining in the hunt was Lexi Thompson, who won the first LPGA major this year in a final-round duel with Wie, and pulled within one shot of Wie with a pair of birdies early in the round. It fell apart on two holes. Thompson missed the green to the left on No. 8 — the worst spot at Pinehurst — and her first chip fell down the slope, leading to double bogey. On the next hole, she went long over the green and chose to take relief she really didn’t need from a white line marking the TV tower. Thompson went to the drop zone, and her ball rolled back into a divot. Worst yet, she still used her putter, and it hopped high out of the divot and had no chance to reach the green. She made another double bogey, then made three straight bogeys on the back nine. She birdied the final hole for a 74 that left over 3 over. Na Yeon Choi had a 71 and was in the group with Inkster at 2-over 212 along with Stephanie Meadow (69) and 18-year-old amateur Minjee Lee of Australia
(72). Another shot back were So Yeon Ryu, who played her final 10 holes in 3 under for a 70, and Karrie Webb, who went the final 12 holes without a bogey for a 70. “Michelle Wie has put a few of us back into the tournament,” Webb said. “Two hours ago, I didn’t think I had a shot. I’m pretty happy about that.” Wie hit 8-iron to 8 feet for birdie on the par3 ninth, and then hit a beautiful lag from about 80 feet for at two-putt birdie on the par-5 10th to reach 6 under. One swing changed everything. The back tee on No. 11 was used for the first time all week, playing at 444 yards. Lucy Li, the 11-yearold who missed the cut as the Women’s Open’s youngest qualifier in history, walked the final 12 holes with the last group. “Man, that hole is like 10 times harder from there,” she said. “Well, maybe not for them.” Definitely for them based on their shots. Wie hit a snap-hook that rambled through the trees and left her no shot but to go sideways and slightly back. She hit her third in a greenside bunker, blasted out about 25 feet long and nearly off the green and made double bogey. “You can’t be in the tree here,” Wie said. “But I felt like I grinded out there.”

Lone Star transplant longs for return to Empire State DEAR ABBY: I’m a lifelong New York resident; my husband is not. So when he had an opportunity to move to Houston to be closer to his only brother, he desperately wanted to move. My children are grown and on their own, so no problem there. Although leaving my career, my mother and my children to move so Abigail far away was Van Buren difficult for me, my husDear Abby band doesn’t have much of a family, so I knew it was important to him. He never had children, and he wanted to be part of his niece’s and nephew’s lives. So we moved. Now we’re treated like we don’t exist! We’re not invited to family events, they never visit us and we’re not included during holidays. These are the people who begged us for the last 13 years to move to Texas. I want to return to New York. He doesn’t want to go. I’m afraid if I insist, I’ll need to move back alone. Should I risk my marriage over it? — HOMESICK FOR NEW YORK DEAR HOMESICK: There is a
middle ground between moving back to New York and staying in Texas. One of them is making regular trips to visit your mother, children and friends. Another would be to understand that your husband’s family cannot be your sole source of social activity. You and your husband should join clubs and volunteer your time to some worthy causes. That’s the way people meet each other. Texans are known for their hospitality -- so give them a fair chance. But only as a last resort should you sacrifice your marriage. DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Hank” for five years. He has always been a loner. He has never been married and has no kids. We lived together for four years and our relationship is wonderful other than his “just being him.” He’s kind of self-centered and not very communicative. Hank just learned that his mother is terminally ill. He came home from work, told me to pack and move out, gave me five minutes of his time and then left! I packed some clothes and went. I’m not sure if I should stay away or try to get him to talk this through with me. This is tearing me apart. I know he loves me, but I’m afraid that with what’s going on with his mom, he’s shutting me out because he can’t handle it. I’m the closest person to him, but he is
pushing me away. Please give me some advice. — FEELING VERY ALONE IN MAINE DEAR VERY ALONE: Whether you should remain involved with Hank depends upon how great your tolerance is for pain. He isn’t shutting you out; he gave you one giant kick in the fanny. He also isn’t “kind of” self-centered; he’s VERY self-centered. If you’re curious about his mother’s health, call and ask from time to time. But do not expect to get back together anytime soon. To have ended the relationship with you the way he did was brutal. DEAR ABBY: I became a widower two years ago and only recently started dating. Although I am in my early 70s, I’m in great physical shape and have all my hair. I am also financially well off and I think I’m reasonably good looking. My concern is, how do I avoid becoming a trophy husband? — POTENTIAL PRIZE IN FLORIDA DEAR POTENTIAL PRIZE: That should be easy. Don’t reveal your financial status and don’t propose. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have the power to shape the way people work together. Your own success will depend on your ability to get others to commit to and deliver on a common goal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be drawn to the things that deepen and widen your sense of self. Loving, exploring, reading and writing are some of the endeavors that help you expand the depths of your soul. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The decent thing to do is to show up and try to do the right thing. Sometimes this seems like the bare minimum requirement for being a good person, although right now it’s more like a herculean effort. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone around you will feel the direction your energy leans in, though it may be difficult for you to objectively see it. That’s why any feedback you get from them is valuable and actionable.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re with that special someone who delights you, your senses come alive. Your mind becomes at once active, open and intentional. Your energy becomes playful. Maybe you’re in love! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re too vigilant of a person to accept that life is about sheer enjoyment. However, the small things you do to make your experience just a little bit nicer will increase the pleasure level for you and those around you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The deadline just ahead doesn’t scare you in the least; in fact, it has a way of pulling you forward. You’ll work faster than ever and with great clarity of thought. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life experience makes you a better worker, artist and person. Also, there’s no substitute -- you can’t get life experience in a book. Strive to pick up firsthand knowledge wherever you can
get it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t let your options intimidate you. These are not irreversible choices. Whichever way you go, you can always decide differently tomorrow or next week. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Ancient history and people you used to know will influence your current experience. Remember the past, and then release it so it doesn’t keep you stuck. Onward to new adventures! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you bouncing from project to project, not seeing anything through to its conclusion? Not everything should be pursued to its conclusion. Today it’s more important to explore. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Avoid thinking in absolutes. There is more than one way to create the life you want.

CHRIS MCDANIEL OPPOSES FEDERAL FUNDING FOR OUR SCHOOLS
HIS PLAN CUTS OVER $1.5 BILLION A YEAR FROM MISSISSIPPI EDUCATION Chris McDaniel's education plan is "unbelievably wrong, uninformed and dangerous...We do not need a U.S. Senator who is reckless, uninformed and dangerous in his ideas. We do not need Chris McDaniel. We do need Senator Thad Cochran."
Chip Crane, Chairman of Mississippi Community College Board
McDaniel’s Plan Would Cost Mississippi
$807 MILLION for Mississippi public schools $242 MILLION for Mississippi Community Colleges $622 MILLION in federal financial aid for students at public universities $26 MILLION in federal financial aid for students at private universities $242 MILLION in federal research for Mississippi universities
McDaniel says we can offset those losses.
HOW? A HUGE TAX INCREASE? That’s not conservative; it’s reckless. Paid for by Mississippi Conservatives. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

Iuka’s mineral springs change, but still flow today BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
IUKA — Tradition runs deep in the magic waters at Mineral Springs Park in downtown Iuka. The six springs, one of which still flows today, were filled with an array of minerals including sulfur, iron, magnesia, carbonic acid gas, aluminum and potassium. “There have been many scientists over the years surprised by the amount of minerals and chemicals flowing in so many different streams in such a small space,” said Cindy Nelson, who serves as the president for the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society. “Many people believed the waters could heal many different aliments.” Nelson said people would come to the springs looking forward to the waters curing common aliments like loss of appetite, anemia, stomach troubles, nervousness, ulcers and inflammations. “The history books read an old, wise Indian named Chief Iuka heard of the curative powers of the natural spring water located in the area now known as Iuka,” said Nelson. “Eager for a cure, he drank the waters and was soon relieved of his suffering. He decided to make his home near the springs.” Settlers followed Chief Iuka’s lead and the town of Iuka grew around the six springs. The land where the city park is located today was donated to the town by David Hubbard around 1840. According to Nelson, the mineral waters flowing from the ground became the center of tourism during the late 19th century. “The railroad brought visitors by the train load to take advantage of the powers of the award winning mineral water,” added Nelson. “After the Civil War and as yellow fever spread like wild fire, people traveled to Iuka to get healed by the waters.” In 1872, the Mineral Springs Hotel was built near the springs and quickly become a monthly stop for world famous orchestras and bands. Visitors kept the hotel booked solid from May to September each year. “Iuka was a stop for the wealthy from places like New York City. Pavilions were erected over the springs and visitors strolled among the oaks and elms in the park,” she said. The waters were deemed the best in the country at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and bottled Iuka water become a much sought after
commodity. “Unfortunately, the onset of World War I ended Iuka’s tourism industry. Iuka’s dream of prosperity became another casualty of the war,” added Nelson. In the 1970s, George Page led a civic-wide project to improve the park. With funds raised locally, new playground equipment, benches and a late 1800s log cabin were added to the park. More than 174 years after Chief Iuka first drank from the magic waters, Mineral Springs Park is still an active place for Tishomingo County residents and visitors to gather and celebrate life. The property offers gazebos, a playground, two tennis courts, basketball courts, a walking track and picnic tables for park goers. A war memorial and covered bridge is also on park grounds. The popular Iuka Heritage Festival is held each year at the park. Work is now being done at the old youth center built at the park in the late 1940s. “With the help of state grants, we are in the late stages of a complete overall on the youth center,” said Tishomingo County Tourism Councilwoman Lee Ann Robertson. “The center will soon be able to house a lot more people and include a full kitchen, restrooms and a updated glass front.” Robertson said the project began a few weeks ago and has a completion deadline of Labor Day weekend. “After the youth center is complete, we hope to start a renovation project on the park’s two tennis courts, as well,” added Robertson. As for those magic waters, Iuka Fire Chief and Zoning Administrator Brian Grissom said one spring still has the original mineral waters flowing. “The other springs are water piped in from the city water system,” said Grissom. “I have been told that when the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway was built, the other springs went dry. I’m sure the build up of mineral deposits helped dry up the springs.” According to Grissom, people still drive from all parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee to collect jugs of the water. “We’re not sure how many people realize their getting city water,” said Grissom. “If they don’t ask, we don’t tell them.” Grissom said the spring flowing naturally is rusty in color and bad in taste. Iuka resident Nena Jones grew up near the

but I remember seeing lots of people coming to the springs on a daily basis to fill up their glass jars
The remaining springs are covered by gazebos. with that water.” “People swore by that water and it sure helped put Iuka on the map back
in the day,” she said. (For more information, contact 662-423-0051 or 662-423-3500.)

LOS OLIVOS, Calif. — From outside the gates of Neverland Ranch, it appears as if Michael Jackson’s former home and fantasyland has been frozen in time. The backyard circus is long gone, but heartfelt notes placed by saddened fans at the property’s entrance remain intact five years after Jackson’s death. And visitors are still making the pilgrimage. “I figured it would just be a closed gate, but I still wanted to see it for myself,” said James Chen of Seattle, a fan who stopped outside Neverland during a recent road trip with his father. While many Jackson ventures are thriving after his death, including a new album and Cirque du Soleil shows, there’s not been similar movement at Neverland, despite rumors the property could
be transformed into a Graceland-like homage or sold to the highest bidder. Caroline Luz, spokeswomen for Colony Capital LLC, the real estate firm that bailed Jackson out after he defaulted on the $24.5 million he owed on Neverland, said the Santa Ynez Valley property about 150 miles north of Los Angeles is being maintained, but she declined further comment. The estate was built in 1981 by real estate developer William Bone, who called it Sycamore Valley Ranch. Jackson paid $19.5 million for the hilly, oak- and sycamorestudded property in 1988 and rechristened it Neverland after Peter Pan’s island dwelling. He soon added such over-the-top amenities as a zoo and small amusement park. For nearly 20 years, Neverland was both Jackson’s home and a
outside the property, a landscaper could be seen zipping along the driveway in a red buggy as a guard manned the security shack at the front gate. The wireless router inside was named “SVR Security,” a nod to the property’s original name. “It has been really quiet,” said local real estate broker William Etling in his office a few miles away in the wine-tasting town of Los Olivos. “There hasn’t been any noise about stuff happening out there. I’m surprised they haven’t sold it to someone else already.” Etling, author of the Santa Ynez Valley tell-all “Sideways in Neverland,” wondered who the buyer of the $35 million, 2,600acre property might be when a nearby 3,250acre ranch recently sold for $22 million. His only guess: Someone who really likes the King of Pop.

pop culture landmark. It’s where Elizabeth Taylor lavishly married Larry Fortensky in 1991; where Oprah Winfrey famously interviewed Jackson live in front of 90 million viewers in 1993; and where thenwife Lisa Marie Presley and Jackson welcomed children from around the globe ahead of the United Nations’ 50th anniversary in 1995. Jackson later turned his back on Neverland after his 2005 acquittal on charges he molested children at the ranch, opting to live elsewhere in the world until his death in 2009. “I guess they ruined it for my dad,” Jackson’s eldest son, Prince, told a civil court jury last year. With no crush of fans or media throngs in years, and the amusement park just a whirling memory, Neverland’s future remains unclear. During a recent stop
