Con artist targets Corinth stores BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth police believe a roving criminal is targeting local stores with one of the oldest schemes in the book. “Over the past few years, this man has come into town two or three times a year,” said Detective Capt. Ralph Dance. “He goes into convenience stores, grocery stores, and he’s quickchanging them. He’s a master at it. He’ll hit two or three stores and then he’s gone.” But, eventually, he resurfaces. In the last couple of weeks, one store was hit for more than $500 and another for more than $600. It begins with the man selecting a small item to purchase and presenting a $100 bill. Then, “he will confuse the clerk into giving back change after change,” said Dance. The man has an accomplice who positions himself so that other people in line cannot see what is happening at the checkout counter. The two men usually seek out smaller stores, and

the scheme often targets younger clerks who may appear to be inexperienced, said Dance. The perpetrator engages the clerk in a series of money exchanges without the clerk realizing what is happening. “The next thing you know, you’ve given back darn near everything in the register,” said Dance. The detectives division has been examining store surveillance footage of the suspect. He is described as an older black male with gray hair, possibly 55 to 60 years old, and he appears to walk with a limp. The accomplice is also a black male. The police department believes the men are probably not local residents. Dance said store managers should have an eye out for customers trying to confuse store clerks and to advise clerks on how to avoid falling prey to the quick-change artist. To report information about this case, contact Corinth PD at 286-3377 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-773-tips or crimestoppersms.com.

Forrest Memorial Park Despite state takeover, cemetery under scrutiny BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Forrest Memorial Park cemetery remains at the center of criticism two and half years after the Mississippi Secretary of State’s office was placed in control. In recent weeks, area citizens have questioned the state’s lack of yard maintenance at the cemetery located just inside the city limits off U.S. Highway 45. “We have not spent one dime of the tax payers money on the upkeep of the cemetery grass,” said Jeremy Martin, Secretary of State’s office North Mississippi representative. “The state has the money, but we are prohibited by law from being able to spend it on the property. We are allowed to make just a little extra money on burials to cover the cemetery being mowed.” Martin said after paying a company to dig the graves, the office clears roughly $300 per burial which they place in a maintenance fund. “It takes a lot of money to mow and weed-eat around the thousands of graves and markers on the property,” said Martin. “The people that cut the grass do it at a loss.” Martin admitted that his of-

fice is often harshly criticized for allowing the grass to get “out of control” on the property. “I want everyone to understand, we mow it when we get enough money to hire someone to mow it,” he said. “Everyone knows how fast grass grows in Mississippi during the summer months, so I hope everyone can understand how much of a struggle it is for us to keep it maintained.” Martin said the state did employ the longtime Forrest Memorial Park caretaker. Part of his duties included mowing the property. In April, the state was unable to continue to pay the caretaker and he was released from his job. “The park is going to look real good one week, then bad the next two weeks and then real good again,” said Martin. The representative said his office is trying to do the best they can to help put people’s minds at ease. “People who purchased plots at Forrest Memorial still own those plots,” he said. “Only people who paid for vaults, markers or opening and closing costs if not paid through an insurance company are victims and have lost their money.”

Forrest Memorial Park and Oaklawn Cemetery in Booneville were placed in receivership under the control of the state in Nov. 2011 after an investigation had uncovered a deficiency of more than $500,000 in pre-need trust accounts at the two cemeteries. The previous owner, Wayne Hight, pleaded guilty to four counts of misapplying or converting pre-need burial funds. He was sentenced to jail time and was ordered to pay restitution to the victims. Since taking over Forrest Memorial, the state’s office has organized hundreds of client files, built an online database of those files and completed an inventory of the cemetery. “We probed the entire cemetery and found 76 bodies that had never been marked,” said Martin. “We have since marked those graves.” Martin said they retrieved and returned almost 200 bronze grave markers that were severely burned in a fire. “One of the hardest things we’ve worked on is trying to get liens removed from the property. When we first got here, there were three very Please see CEMETERY | 2

Vietnam vet gets closure after 48 years of waiting BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

After reaching out to the Daily Corinthian for help, Vietnam veteran Chuck Dean was finally able to pay his respects to the late Bobby Hudson after 48 years, six months and two days of waiting. Hudson was killed Dec. 10, 1966, in Cuchi, Vietnam, after a Viet Cong booby trap (today called an IED) exploded while he was helping another service

member relocate a military tent. “Bobby was a very accomplished war dog handler. He handled scout dogs and the sentry dog for the 38th Scout Dog Platoon,” said Dean. “It took a lot of focus for him to handle both kinds of dogs because of the complexity of the training that goes into each kind.” Please see VETERAN | 2

Haslam favors break in domestic cases The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A high-profile domestic violence case in Nashville has led to talk of more restrictions for defendants in such cases. The Tennessean reports Republican Gov. Bill Haslam said on Monday that he would support making a 12-hour “cooling off” period mandatory after someone has been arrested on a domestic violence charge. “I think that makes sense,” Haslam said. “I’m far from an expert on that, but from what I understand, it just feels like

that is a common sense law.” The statement comes in the midst of a controversy over a Nashville case involving a prominent contractor who was released from jail a few hours after his arrest on a domestic violence charge. Police say he assaulted his girlfriend a second time shortly after being released. Lawmakers in Middle Tennessee have said they plan to introduce a bill next year that would require people arrested on domestic violence charges to remain incarcer-

“We also have to consider the rights of the accused.” Kathy Walsh Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence ated for at least 12 hours. The General Assembly is scheduled to reconvene in January. The 12-hour period is meant to help victims stay safe while making any necessary arrangements, such as packing or

moving. While Tennesse law suggests such a cooling off period, it doesn’t mandate it and judges and waive it if they don’t think its necessary. Critics say not abiding by the recommendation could discourage victims from coming forward, and some suggest holding those charged for a longer time period. “The less time the person is held, the more dangerous it becomes for the victim,” said Barbara Sanders, a Nashville area psychotherapist who has handled domestic abuse cases. “Twelve hours is

not enough.” Kathy Walsh, executive director of the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence, said her organization was involved when the current law was approved and said the 12-hour period came from concerns about legal challenges to holding a person longer. State law forbids holding a person more than 72 hours without a hearing in front of a judge. “We certainly want to protect victims,” Walsh said, “but we also have to consider the rights of the accused.”

DeSoto County notes rise in gang-related activity The Associated Press

OLIVE BRANCH — The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office and police departments in Horn Lake, Olive Branch and Southaven are forming a gang task force. “We don’t like to say that we have a gang problem, but we do have a gang problem,” Sheriff Bill Rasco during a news conference Tuesday at the Olive Branch Police Department. “It is something that we are going to deal with because we are not going to put up with it.” The Commercial Appeal reports Southaven

“We don’t like to say that we have a gang problem, but we do have a gang problem.” Bill Rasco Sheriff police recently responded to calls about gangs driving through an apartment complex and firing shots into the air. In Olive Branch, one of the city’s two homicides this year, as well as a drive-by shooting, was gang-related. Rasco said gangs in DeSoto County are not

new, but what law enforcement said they have seen in the past year is organized and younger gangs committing more violent crimes in the county. The law enforcement agencies and district attorney’s office will pool manpower and share information on gang-

related crimes. Each department has assigned at least two officers fulltime to the task force. It will be coordinated through the sheriff’s department. “The officers on the task force will be deputized under the sheriff’s department so they can do their duties anywhere in the county,” Rasco said. “We are not backing down from anyone.” Southaven Police Chief Tom Long said task force members will work together to combat the problems in any of their areas or the county. They will also cross state lines

to share data and intelligence with Memphis and Shelby County. District Attorney John Champion has assigned a prosecutor as a consultant. “We will prosecute as a team,” Champion said. “Gang activity is not only a problem in DeSoto County, but I am seeing it districtwide throughout the other counties in the Delta that I handle. It is becoming a very prevalent issue.” Champion also prosecutes cases in Grenada, Montgomery, Panola, Tate and Yalobusha counties.

In communities where improvement in infrastructure is happening, you will see investment following. I’m proud of where we are.” Walnut was a big winner at the event, taking

the “best overall” project award for its successful efforts to attract ALUMA-FORM, based in Memphis, to the Walnut Industrial Park, where the industry is investing $6.7 million with plans to employ 125. Walnut also took the public works award for the population under 10,000 category for the grant-funded replacement of water lines in the area of Highway 72 and Highway 15.

important liens. We removed two very quickly, but had some trouble with the third,” he said. “The lien is with Southbank for over $600,000 and even though we have gone to court several times, it has yet to be resolved.”

Former Alcorn County supervisor Jeff Rencher submitted a bid for over $10,000 for the property, however Southbank rejected the bid. Rencher was able to purchase Oaklawn in Booneville for a similar amount. The bank has since foreclosed on the funeral

home, road frontage and two undeveloped gardens on the property. “Since taking over the cemetery, we have buried over 200 bodies and worked with thousands of family members. We’ll continue to work with everyone until this is all resolved,” said Martin. “It’s

going to take some capital investment, but Forrest Memorial Park will be a beautiful cemetery again and something this community can really be proud of.” (For more information, contact Martin at 662-844-0194 or jeremy. martin@sos.ms.gov.)

the street as if he didn’t have a care in the world.” Little did he know that he would never again see his friend alive, but would visit his grave at Forrest Memorial Cemetery decades later. “My trip to Corinth was a long, painful one. I have thought about Bobby every day since Dec. 10, 1966. I think of many others as well,” said the veteran. “I have recently discovered an old friend that I haven’t seen since we graduated from Jump School. The camaraderie one develops in the military is hard to explain unless you have been there. The bond is hard to break.” While making the journey to Corinth offered some degree of closure, Dean said some wounds will never fully heal. “Closure can be a painful, frightening, emotional relief. As with all Vietnam veterans it’s a matter of driving on. I only wish I could have made the trip

earlier so I could have provided closure for his family,” he said. “After I visited Bobby’s grave I had the privilege of meeting Charles Hudson, Bobby’s brother. I assured him I would come back to town in the future and would like to meet up with other members of the family.” He described Bobby as an interesting character whom he would never forget. “I remember Bobby talking about wrestling alligators and it fascinated me,” said Dean, who didn’t believe his friend’s tall tales. “I said, ‘Bull.’ So, he had his mom send out movies of him wrestling an alligator just to prove me wrong.” After staying in the shadows for 46 years, Dean said he is still coming out into the sunlight. “Vietnam was not a popular subject at the time and it was easier to remain in the shadows

and not speak about it,” he said. “I have regrouped with a lot of the ‘old’ guys I was in with and have had some time to visit the graves and families of the ones who fell.” Dean wished to thank those who made he and Bobby’s reunion possible. “I’d like to thank the Daily Corinthian, Anthony Smith, Beulah Barnes, Bobby Hutson, Tommy Watson of the American Legion, Dorothy Hoden and Charles Hudson for all the did to make this happen,” he said. After being released from the army, Dean continued on to college where he earned two degrees in Biological Sciences. Now 69, the central California native resides in Opelika, Alabama. He has been married for 49 years and has three adult children and three adult grandchildren. He and his wife are looking forward to celebrating their “golden” anniversary.

Today in history Today is Thursday, June 26, the 177th day of 2014. There are 188 days left in the year.

Todayâ€™s Highlight in History: On June 26, 1974, the supermarket price scanner made its debut in Troy, Ohio, as a 10-pack of Wrigleyâ€™s Juicy Fruit chewing gum costing 67 cents and bearing a Uniform Product Code (UPC) was scanned by Marsh Supermarket cashier Sharon Buchanan for customer Clyde Dawson. (The barcoded package of gum, never chewed, is on display at the Smithsonian Institutionâ€™s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.)

On this date: In 1483, Richard III began his reign as King of England (he was crowned the following month at Westminster Abbey). In 1870, the first section of Atlantic City, New Jerseyâ€™s Boardwalk was opened to the public. In 1915, following a whirlwind courtship, poet T.S. Eliot married Vivienne Haigh-Wood in London. (The marriage proved disastrous, but the couple never divorced.) In 1925, Charlie Chaplinâ€™s classic comedy â€œThe Gold Rushâ€? premiered at Graumanâ€™s Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for a second term of office by delegates to the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia. In 1944, the Republican national convention opened in Chicago with a keynote speech by California Governor Earl Warren. In an unusual Major League Baseball experiment, the New York Giants, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees played a threeway (or â€œtri-cornernedâ€?) exhibition game at the Polo Grounds to benefit war bonds. In 1945, the charter of the United Nations was signed by 50 countries in San Francisco. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman authorized the Air Force and Navy to enter the Korean War. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited West Berlin, where he delivered his famous speech expressing solidarity with the cityâ€™s residents, declaring: â€œIch bin ein Berlinerâ€? (I am a Berliner). In 1973, former White House counsel John W. Dean told the Senate Watergate Committee about an â€œenemies listâ€? kept by the Nixon White House. In 1988, three people were killed when a new Airbus A320 jetliner carrying more than 130 people crashed into a forest during a demonstration at an air show in Mulhouse, France. In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled the death penalty may be imposed for murderers who committed their crimes as young as age 16, and for mentally retarded killers as well.

Friends remember First African-American court Marineâ€™s sacrifice clerk will retire after 33 years The Associated Press

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. â€” Marines arenâ€™t supposed to cry. But Mark Cutter, a retired Marine, was clearly emotional as he talked about the sacrifice made by his platoon-mate Daniel McClenney, 10 years ago Tuesday in Kunar province, Afghanistan. Cutter, who lives in Colorado, had been searching online for information about McClenney this Monday, when he found a number of Times-Gazette stories. He called the Times-Gazette and was told about the ceremony Tuesday at Central High School in McClenneyâ€™s memory. Then he bought plane tickets. Cutter, who didnâ€™t even know about the ceremony until Monday, flew to Shelbyville and moved the audience deeply with his stories of the night in 2004 when Pfc. McClenney, a brand new Marine only a few months out of Shelbyville, with no previous deployments or special training, continued to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and radio for help, even after he took a gunshot to the abdomen and was also suffering from a broken arm. â€œHe doesnâ€™t deserve the Silver Star,â€? said Cutter. Cutter said he and others with direct knowledge of the incident wanted McClenney to be given the Congressional Medal of Honor. â€œI still feel today thatâ€™s the medal that he deserves,â€? said Cutter.

McClenney, Lance Cpl. Juston Thacker, and Lance Cpl. Brian Molby were on patrol when they were approached by a man who suggested they lay down their weapons. They refused, and were then ambushed. Cutter cited the Greek phrase â€œmolon labeâ€? â€” â€œcome and take them.â€? â€œMcClenney sent them a messageâ€? with his defiance, said Cutter. â€œThereâ€™s no way that youâ€™re going to come to our base.â€? There were no similar incidents in that region after the ambush that killed McClenney and Thacker. Thanks to McClenneyâ€™s use of the radio, help was dispatched in time to save Molby from sharing the fate of his two fellow Marines. Dave Sliger of the Marine Corps League recognized Shelby Bearden, who was awarded a scholarship in McClenneyâ€™s name during the 2013-14 school year.

Clean Water for Malawi a difference maker BY WYATT EMMERICH The Northside Sun

Bill Manduca, executive director of Clean Water for Malawi, has just returned from a month-long supervisory trip to Africa, where 16 new wells were drilled for $65,000. These wells were drilled within 50 kilometers of Mzuzu in northern Malawi. The project was in cooperation with the Rotary clubs of Jackson, North Jackson, Greenwood, McComb, Greenville and several others in Rotary District 6820. In a presentation this week to the Rotary Club of Jackson, Manduca said, “This is the first project I’ve ever been involved with as a business manager or an engineer where we can literally change people’s lives overnight. One night they’re drinking bad water that kills them. The next night, they’re drinking clean water that keeps them healthy. And all we have to do is drill a hole. That’s as easy as it gets. “So I just want to encourage you. This is a difference maker. This is a game changer in places like Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa.” It’s been three years or so since Victor Smith approached me about helping Clean Water for Malawi. My newspapers have run countless ads supporting the project. I have traveled to Malawi and seen the results of bringing clean water to remote villages. It has been challenging and difficult, but we are truly making a difference, saving, literally, thousands of lives. Just like the Chinchens of Jackson, who sowed the seeds of this African missionary effort decades ago, when it looked like there was no hope, we prayed and the prayers were answered. You have to see it to believe it. It’s a God thing, as the expression goes. So many Mississippians have given. Hundreds upon hundreds. How appropriate for the most generous state in the nation. For people who say racism still lingers in Mississippi, I’d like to show them how many white Mississippians have opened up their pocketbooks for destitute black Africans. These are people they have never even met. I have met them. These villagers are real people. They call Malawi the “warm heart of Africa” because the people are so gracious and friendly, just like Mississippi is known as the Hospitality State. The Christian faith of the poor Malawi villagers should be a lesson for us all. The other day, I was walking my dog. It was hot and my dog stopped to lap a puddle of water in a crack in the road. I yanked the chain. “No Sally. Don’t drink that,” I commanded. At home, she has a nice water bowl filled with fresh water. Who knows what germs lurked in the water on the side of the street. That water I wasn’t letting my dog drink was probably much cleaner than the water eight million Malawi villagers survive on every day. It’s not as though they have a choice. Without water, a human dies of thirst in days. These are English-speaking Christians. They are so much more like us than you could imagine. Yet they are dying in droves from water-borne diseases. I always felt bad about the poor in Africa, but it seemed I never trusted the money or aid to ever get there. Theft and bureaucracy would prevent me from making a difference. Miraculously, we have cut through all this. We operate completely under the radar, using Skype, the Internet, cell phones, GPS and texting to do things that were impossible 10 years ago. I’m not saying it’s perfect or easy, but we are drilling wells. All our staff are Malawians. We coordinate with Here’s Life Africa, another Southern organization, to bring the message of Christ to villagers by showing a two-hour film on the life of Christ. Thousands gather to watch the movie, which has been translated into the local language. When Victor first approached me, my two pet peeves were long flights and asking people for money. My greatest fear was catching some weird tropical disease. How ironic that God made me face all three. Now I don’t care. Africa is developing rapidly. That continent’s time has finally come. In a couple of decades, the ability to donate a hundred dollars and save a life will be gone forever from this world. I can’t wait. But we don’t live in the future. We live in the present. And presently there are people dying because they lack clean water. For the cost of one night of fine dining, you could save a life. Not trying to guilt trip anybody, but that’s the plain, hard truth.

Prayer for today Heavenly Father, I pray that I may not be so occupied in expressing my judgment of others, that I will forget to live in thy judgment myself. May I have the compassion for others that I hope to receive from thee. Amen.

Playing a name game with the Redskins The audacity of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in canceling the trademark of the Washington Redskins is frightening. When the government is in charge of deciding what is offensive and what is not, and has the power to punish the “offenders,” we move further away from a free society and closer to a tyrannical nanny state. We are not talking about a political issue that should have Democrats and Republicans coming down on different sides, but rather the fundamental freedom to express oneself, which is a part of the fabric of America. In the case of Dan Snyder, who owns the Redskins, he is being demonized for standing up for basic American principles. There is no indication that many in the Native American community are upset after decades of the team’s prominent and proud display of its mascot and name. This appears to be yet another case of purposefully induced hypersensitivity, providing yet another opportunity for unnecessary heavy-handed government tactics to infringe upon the peaceful existence of Amer-

icans. I have had the pleasure of meeting Snyder, who is far from the demonic Ben characterizaCarson tion seen in the gullible Columnist press, which allows itself to be manipulated by those wishing to bring about fundamental change in America. I do not doubt for one minute that the Redskins organization would change the name tomorrow if it thought it was truly offensive to most Native Americans. Also, the majority of American citizens are still decent people who would not only demand a name change, but would vote with their feet and purses in a way that would send a loud and convincing message -- if they thought the name was offensive. It appears that many have forgotten the power of freemarket economic forces and instead have placed their trust in flawed government forces. Historically, individual freedoms vanish as government interven-

tions increase. Traditionally, sports teams choose mascots and names that bring them pride, rather than shame. There are numerous sports teams throughout the nation with colorful names and symbols, and they are not out to offend anyone. In a large, diverse society, it is likely that almost anything is offensive to someone. I suspect there are those who are offended by the fact that the Duke University basketball team is called the Blue Devils. Some would ridiculously opine that this nomenclature pays homage to the forces of evil. Should we cater to such foolishness, or should we grow up and focus on real issues? We, the American people, must cease being distracted by peripheral issues and demand that our government officials focus their attention on the myriad problems that threaten to destroy our way of life. Like the ancient Romans, we are in danger of being distracted by relatively unimportant issues while our society crumbles beneath us. Many people equate political correctness with kind and compassionate

speech. The two things are vastly different with very different purposes. Political correctness is meant to control thought patterns and speech content, creating unanimity and societal conformity, while kind and compassionate speech is meant to take into consideration the feelings and circumstances of others without compromising the truth. It is a much better alternative. In today’s politically correct society, we are in danger of extinguishing interpersonal communications altogether for fear of offending someone. All of this would be comically absurd if it were not such an immense departure from the vision of a free and prosperous society that was envisioned by our Founders. The power to stop the erosion of our values and to restore common sense and prosperity to our nation is in our own hands. We must shake off the passivity and vigilantly guard against manipulation.

The struggles of Hillary Clinton We haven’t learned much new about Hillary Clinton on her book tour except that she mistakes herself for a version of Norma Rae. First, during an interview in her well-appointed Washington, D.C., home with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, she said she and Bill left the White House “dead broke,” although they always made better potential subjects for “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” than “Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.” Next, in an interview with The Guardian, she seemed to suggest that she and Bill aren’t among the “truly well off,” and said that no one could possibly resent their wealth since they earned it “through dint of hard work.” And so they did -- the hard work of building political careers for themselves, and then, when the time came, profiting massively off them. As Hillary put it in her walk-back of the “dead broke” remark, she and Bill had different “phases” in their lives. One phase involved climbing into the White House and incurring stupendous legal bills in fending off various

scandals. The other has involved getting showered with money. Most peoRich ple can’t unLowry derstand the nature of the National hard work Review with which the Clintons are constantly building their fortune. They don’t know what it’s like to write a calculatedly tedious book for an almost $14 million advance. They don’t know what it’s like to get up every morning and take a private jet to an event where adoring fans line up for a book-signing (only one copy per person, and no posed photographs, please). They don’t know what it’s like to run from speech to speech, collecting as much as $200,000 per gig. They don’t know what it’s like to be married to a man who earns $700,000 for one speech in Nigeria. They don’t know what it’s like to have a daughter who gets paid $600,000 by NBC News for a not particularly taxing job.

They don’t know what it’s like to be so connected that even your hangers-on can get rich. This is the life of labor the Clintons have chosen, and if it is arduous, it has its rewards. Between 2000 and 2008, the couple made roughly $110 million in income. They own two homes, one valued at $5 million in Washington, and another valued at $1.8 million in New York state. Last summer, they rented an $11 million mansion in the Hamptons. Such is their wealth that they are using complicated tax maneuvers to limit their exposure to the estate tax. No one will necessarily hold this bonanza against Hillary, unless she minimizes it in a tone-deaf attempt to make herself out as an average working gal, as she has during the past couple of weeks. The country has a long history of successful wealthy Democratic politicians (FDR, JFK), but a more recent example of an unsuccessful wealthy Democratic politician (John Kerry), who suffered from the perception that he was an out-of-touch elitist. Hillary’s expressed clue-

lessness about how truly well off she is, and why, risks putting her in the Kerry category. As Daniel Drezner of The Washington Post points out, her attitude surely reflects class divisions within the top 1 percent. If you hang out with celebrities and billionaires long enough, you will feel positively middle class even as you pull down millions of dollars per year. Her cash windfall also will make the Democratic war on inequality at least a little more awkward, although she’s no different than other Democratic scourges of inequality who almost always sop up as much money as possible as soon as they’re out of government. For liberals, to paraphrase an old Ronald Reagan quip, fair reward for hard work and talent is when you get rich; a crisis in income inequality is when someone else does. But Hillary would know nothing about these gradations within the upper stratosphere of wealth. She’s working too hard just to make ends meet.

Economy shrinks at 2.9 percent rate WASHINGTON -- The U.S. economy shrank at a steep annual rate of 2.9 percent in the January-March quarter as a harsh winter contributed to the biggest contraction since the depths of the recession five years ago. But the setback is widely thought to be temporary, with growth rebounding solidly since spring. The first-quarter contraction reported Wednesday by the government was even more severe than the 1 percent annual decline it had estimated a month ago. Much of the downward revision reflected an unexpectedly sharp drop in health care spending. Another factor was a bigger trade deficit than earlier estimated. Though such a sharp economic decline would typically stoke fears of another recession, analysts see it as a short-lived result of winter storms that shut factories, disrupted shipping and kept Americans away from shopping malls and auto dealerships. Many expect growth to reach a robust annual rate of 3.5 percent or better this quarter. Guatieri thinks growth is rebounding to a 3.8 percent annual rate in the current quarter and will average a solid 3 percent rate in the second half of the year. Â

Prized â€™79 Corvette found years later DETROIT -- A manâ€™s

prized Corvette that was stolen three decades ago in Detroit has been found in Mississippi. George Talley says he was watching TV last week when AAA called to say his 1979 Corvette had been found. Talley tells WXYZ-TV he was told the car still runs, has 47,000 miles on it and is sitting at a police station in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The last time Talley saw the car was in 1981, before thieves took it from a parking spot along a Detroit street. Â

Kane statement on Sandusky corrected HARRISBURG, Pa. -Pennsylvaniaâ€™s attorney general on Wednesday corrected her statement earlier this week about two young men who she said had accused Jerry Sandusky of sexual abuse in 2009, after the investigation into the former Penn State assistant football coach was underway. Attorney General Kathleen Kaneâ€™s office said that one of the men was, in fact, among the eight victims who testified against Sandusky during his 2012 trial. Kane had previously said neither of the two had testified at the trial. Kaneâ€™s statements raise the prospect that people may have been harmed after the threeyear investigation began in late 2008. The young man described in court documents as Victim 9 told jurors his contact with Sandusky ended in 2008 or 2009. Kaneâ€™s

spokesman said he is one of the two people she was referring to. Kane said the other accuser came forward in 2012, and Sandusky has not been charged in relation to that person. Prosecutors who were involved in the case at the time say an accuser who came forward in 2012 had credibility issues. Itâ€™s unclear whether Kane and the trial prosecutors are talking about the same person. The attorney generalâ€™s office said it wouldnâ€™t provide any other information about 2012 accuser. Â

Rangel holds on to win N.Y. primary NEW YORK -- U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel has won the closely contested Democratic primary in New Yorkâ€™s 13th Congressional District as he seeks his 23rd term. Rangel defeated state Sen. Adriano Espaillat in unofficial returns. Espaillat was bidding to become the first Dominican-American in Congress. They also squared off in 2012, a primary Rangel narrowly won. The 84-year-old Rangel was once arguably the most influential black elected official in the U.S. He says this is his final race. He is known as the Lion of Harlem and has been a liberal voice for a district that was once heavily black but is now majority Hispanic. The primary had been contentious, with accusations of racially charged language.

Associated Press

Former newspaper publisher dies at 77 BELMONT -- Mariel Wayne Mitchell, a minister and former publisher of a weekly newspaper in Belmont died Monday in Tupelo after a long illness. He was 77. The Mississippi Press Association announced Mitchellâ€™s death in a news release Wednesday. Mitchell, an Itawamba County native, was a minister in Florida, Alabama and several locations throughout Mississippi. He began his preaching career in 1957 at the Kosciusko Church of Christ. Mitchell bought The Belmont and Tishomingo Journal from Delmus Hardin in August of 1976 and later The County Shopper. Also he owned KeMa Publishing. Â

Plane emergency landing at airport HOUSTON -- A pilot and four passengers escaped serious injury Wednesday when their plane made an emergency landing at the airport in Houston in north Mississippi. The pilot, Dan Campbell, told the Chickasaw Journal the plane was hit by severe wind-shear while landing. Two passengers were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital. Campbell says the plane did a ground roll and slid into a ditch on the south of the runway and caught fire. Firefighters used foam to put out the blaze. The two-engine 1996

Windstream Beechcraft is owned by Quality Iron of Houston. Campbell says the plane had left Memphis to pick up a passenger in Houston and its next stop was Louisiana. Â

Ambulance crew dies in fiery crash LEAKESVILLE -- The Mississippi Highway Patrol says two members of an ambulance crew died in an accident with an 18-wheeler in Greene County. Troop J spokesman Brent Barfield tells The Sun Herald the ambulance was headed to a call on Mississippi 63 Tuesday when it crashed into a semi-truck near the Piave community. Barfield said the crash occurred after the ambulance, with its red lights flashing but no siren sounding, attempted to pass two 18-wheelers carrying loads. He says the ambulance passed the first truck, but hit the second truck,

driven by 47-year-old Charles E. Bexley when he tried to turn left. Both immediately burst into flames. Â

1 injured in Norfork train derailment LUMBERTON -- A locomotive and nine cars of a northbound Norfolk Southern freight train derailed Wednesday near Lumberton. The cause of the accident, which happened between 3:30 a.m. and 4 a.m., is under investigation. Lamar County Emergency Director James Smith says eight of the nine cars that left the track were empty, while the other was hauling automobiles. Smith says the train was not carrying any hazardous materials. Sheriff Danny Rigel says the engineer was slightly injured when the locomotive left the track and turned on its side in a swampy area. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.

Parties regroup in Senate race Boehner says House The Associated Press

Fresh off Sen. Thad Cochran’s comeback to defeat tea party challenger Chris McDaniel in Mississippi’s bitter Republican Senate runoff, the general election matchup between the six-term incumbent and Democratic former Congressman Travis Childers features two pragmatists each trying to wrest a winning coalition out of a jumbled primary. Cochran will have to chase Republicans who backed his more conservative primary rival, while Childers must pursue members of his party who voted for Cochran in the GOP primary. Unofficial returns after Tuesday’s primary runoff vote showed Cochran with a statewide lead of about 6,400 votes over McDaniel, or 50.9 percent to 49.1 percent, using a substantially higher turnout to erase a 1,400vote deficit to McDaniel in the initial primary that ended without a majority winner. It produces a potentially compelling general election matchup in a state that otherwise should be an afterthought in the GOP’s national effort to reclaim a Senate majority — a threshold that could return Cochran to his old post as Senate Appropriations chairman where he could deliver on his promise

to “do more for Mississippi.” The Nov. 4 ballot also will include Shawn O’Hara of the Reform Party. In a brief appearance Tuesday night, Cochran praised his supporters for a “great victory” and called his win an endorsement of “more and better jobs for Mississippi.” The 76-year-old senator didn’t mention McDaniel, a 41-year-old state senator, but it’s obvious Cochran must mend fences with conservatives inspired by McDaniel’s critique of the incumbent as the face of a $17 trillion national debt. Cochran’s rebuilding effort starts even as McDaniel refuses to concede, instead raising the specter of a legal challenge that would at least nominally extend this midterm election year’s most bitter battle between tea party conservatives and traditional Republican powers. McDaniel’s complaint: unspecified “irregularities” he attributed to “liberal Democrats” supporting Cochran. National tea party aligned groups that backed McDaniel — outside PACs spent about $12 million on the race — didn’t protest the results, but made clear they aren’t eager to cozy up to

Cochran. At FreedomWorks, director Matt Kibbe called it “disgraceful” that GOP stalwarts like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell “champion a campaign platform of pork-barrel spending and insider deal-making, while recruiting Democrats to show up at the polls.” Besides raising questions about whether Cochran can easily win over McDaniel voters, those sentiments also could make it harder for Cochran and his fellow Republicans to hit Childers with the typical GOP charge that Democrats are spendthrift liberals. Childers still must navigate the challenge of running in a state where President Barack Obama got less than 40 percent of the vote. And instead of running against McDaniel — a firebrand whom Childers certainly would have framed as too extreme even for Mississippi — Childers must now run against an incumbent who, even if battered, is more popular across the electorate than within his party’s conservative core. Consider Ronny Barrett, a 56-year-old mechanic from Jackson and a black Democrat who voted for Cochran on June 3 and again Tuesday. “Sen. Cochran has done a lot of things for the black community,

and a lot of people in the black community know that,” Barrett said at Cochran’s victory party. “First time in my life I voted Republican. ... I think I’ll vote Republican again.” Because Mississippi voters don’t register by party, it’s impossible to know exactly how many Democrats or independents voted for Cochran. But turnout increased by almost 70,000 votes over the June 3 turnout, and Cochran improved his vote totals substantially in several key counties, including about 7,000 additional votes in Hinds, the seat of state government; more than 1,000 in Harrison and more than 1,200 in Jackson, both coastal counties. McDaniel did not say Tuesday night that he would challenge the result, but he was defiant as he addressed his supporters in Hattiesburg. “We are not prone to surrender, we Mississippians,” he declared. “Before this race is over we have to be absolutely certain the Republican primary was won by Republican voters.” One of his top supporters, state Sen. Michael Watson, was asked whether the candidate offered Cochran a concession. “You didn’t hear one, did you?” Watson replied.

plans to sue Obama The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The House will vote next month on legislation authorizing a campaignseason lawsuit accusing President Barack Obama of failing to carry out the laws passed by Congress, Speaker John Boehner announced on Wednesday. In a memo distributed to House members, Boehner, R-Ohio, accused Obama of “aggressive unilateralism” and said if left unchecked, it would give the president “king-like authority at the expense of the American people and their elected legislators.” White House press secretary Josh Earnest dismissed any suggestion that the president has failed to act within the law in issuing executive orders or taking other actions. “We feel completely confident that the president was operating within his authority as the president of the United States to take these steps on behalf of the American people,” he told reporters. Whatever the outcome of the suit in the courts, Boehner’s announcement guarantees creation of yet another political struggle between Republicans and Obama and his Democratic allies in a campaign already full of them. “On matters ranging from health care and energy to foreign policy and education, President Obama has repeatedly run an end-around” on

the public and Congress, the speaker wrote. He accused him of “ignoring some statutes completely, selectively enforcing others and at times, creating laws of his own.” At a news conference, Boehner strongly brushed aside a question of whether impeachment proceedings could result from the suit. In his memo, he stopped short of accusing the president of violating his oath of office. Instead, he said Obama was “straining the boundaries of the solemn oath he took on Inauguration Day.” Other Republicans have been less restrained. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Pa., said recently the House probably has the votes to impeach Obama, although he said he wasn’t calling for it. One former tea party-backed lawmaker, ex-Rep. Allen West of Florida, has called for the House to vote to remove the president from office. Boehner also rejected a suggestion that the suit was a political move designed to give traditional Republican voters an added impetus for going to the polls this fall when control of Congress will be at stake. But Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who chairs the Democratic campaign committee, said Boehner planned a politically motivated lawsuit,” and predicted the voters would punish Republicans for it.

Western leaders: Putin must prove his commitment to Ukraine peace The Associated Press

MOSCOW — The Kremlin on Wednesday renounced the right to send troops into Ukraine and voiced support for a peace plan, but the West said Russia must do much more to stop the fighting in eastern Ukraine if it wants to avoid a new, more crippling round of sanctions. A cease-fire, already fragile, is set to expire Friday, the same day that Ukraine signs a pivotal economic agreement with the European Union and the day that the EU and U.S. may consider further punitive measures against Russia. After months of upheaval, this much is clear: The West appears to accept that it can do nothing about Russia’s annexation of Crimea, while Moscow seems resigned to Ukraine signing the sweeping trade pact that will bind the country more closely to the EU. It was the former Ukrainian president’s abrupt decision late last year to back out of the EU deal

under pressure from Russia that triggered the current crisis. But much uncertainty still surrounds the future of eastern Ukraine, where government troops are battling armed Moscowbacked separatists. The cease-fire has been repeatedly interrupted by fighting since it went into force last Friday. At Putin’s request, the Russian parliament rescinded a resolution that had empowered him to intervene militarily in Ukraine. Putin said his request was intended to support the peace process. U.S. and European governments welcomed the step but said it was not enough. “Now we believe it’s critical for President Putin to prove by his actions, not just his words, that he is indeed fully committed to peace,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said at a meeting of diplomats from NATO nations in Brussels. The same message was delivered by the German chancellor and the NATO

chief. Behind the scenes, meanwhile, the leaders of France, Germany and Ukraine spoke with Putin for more than an hour in a conference call. The four agreed that a mechanism needs to be set up to oversee the ceasefire, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman said. A statement issued by French President Francois Hollande said he and Merkel encouraged Putin to work with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to put such a mechanism in place. Kerry listed the specific steps that the West expects Putin to take to show his commitment to peace: stop the flow of weapons and fighters from Russia to Ukraine, publicly call on the separatists to lay down their arms, withdraw Russian forces from the border and help secure the release of observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe who have been held in eastern Ukraine for weeks.

NEW YORK — Eli Wallach, the raspy-voiced character actor who starred in dozens of movies and Broadway plays over a remarkable and enduring career and earned film immortality as a conniving, quick-onthe-draw bandit in the Western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” has died. He was 98. The actor’s son, Peter Wallach, confirmed Wednesday that his father passed away Tuesday evening in New York from natural causes. “The best way to honor him is to put on one of his movies,” he said. “Put on ‘Baby Doll’ or ‘Magnificent Seven.’ Those live forever.” Wallach and his wife, Anne Jackson, were a formidable duo on the stage, appearing in several plays dating back to the 1940s. He won a Tony Award for his supporting role in Tennessee Williams’ “The Rose Tattoo” in 1951, was an original member of the Actors Studio, and was still starring in films well into his 90s. “He was as wonderful a person as he was an actor,” said Robert De Niro. “He will be missed.” Wallach may be best remembered for his role as Tuco in “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.” In the Sergio Leone spaghetti Western, Clint Eastwood (The Good), Lee Van Cleef (The Bad) and Wallach (The Ugly) attempt to outwit and out shoot each other in pursuit of a trove of gold coins buried in a Civil War cemetery. Wallach played a menacing, yet lovable, outlaw who had committed every crime

way plays but had to work as a swimming instructor and camp counselor to make ends meet. Wallach debut film, directed by Elia Kazan, was “Baby Doll,” based on the Williams’ play. It was condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency for what was termed its “carnal suggestiveness.” He became a charter member of the Actors Studio, along with upand-coming performers such as Marlon Brando, Karl Malden and Jackson. He was one of the nation’s early students of Method acting. Wallach did not slow down in his later years. He played a store owner in 2003’s “Mystic River,” directed by Eastwood, and had a part in the romantic comedy “The Holiday” in 2006. In 2010, he was featured as an old financial hand in Oliver Stone’s “Money Never Sleeps,” the sequel to “Wall Street.” Though he never won an Oscar, Wallach was awarded an honorary Academy Award in 2010, hailing him as “the quintessential chameleon.” Eastwood presented the award, calling him “a great performer and a great friend.” “I’ve played more bandits, thieves, killers, war lords, molesters and Mafiosi that you could shake a stick at,” said Wallach in his acceptance. “As a civilian, I collect antique clocks, tell endless stories of my days as a medic in World War II, watch every tennis match, live for my family, daily mail, run the dishwasher, take pictures of faces in the bark of trees. “I don’t act to live,” he said. “I live to act.”

in the book. The movie was the third film in a trilogy that included “Fistful of Dollars” and “For a Few Dollars More,” and influenced a generation of filmmakers. “Everywhere I go, someone will recognize me from ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ and start whistling the theme song,” he said in a 2003 interview. “I can feel when it’s going to happen. I smile and wave, and they wave back.” Wallach, an eager storyteller, even titled his 2005 memoir “The Good, the Bad, and Me: In My Anecdotage.” Wallach also starred in the steamy “Baby Doll” (1956), “The Magnificent Seven” (1960), “The Misfits” (1961), an Arthur Miller-written film that starred Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, “Lord Jim” (1964) with Peter O’Toole and “The Godfather III” (1990), in which he played a murderous mobster who dies after eating poisoned cannoli. Wallach was born in Brooklyn on Dec. 7, 1915, the son of an immigrant candy store owner. He dabbled in dramatics in school, while becoming a table-tennis champion. His brother and two sisters had become teachers, and other family members were doctors and lawyers. Wallach, who had appeared in plays as far back as grade school, elected to study acting. His drama training was interrupted by World War II service in the Army medical corps, in which he earned the rank of captain. From 1945 to 1948, he appeared in several Broad-

Capt. Michael Boyd says 34-year-old Erik Blake Halpin, described as a transient, was accused of drunken driving and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He swam to shore and was arrested after he was treated at a Bend hospital.

Seeking better buys

This screen from Goldman Sachs identifies stocks that have a lower price-earnings ratio than the average for their sector. It also shows only those stocks with a dividend yield and expected earnings growth above their category’s average, along with a “Buy” rating from Goldman Sachs. Several of the stocks have lagged the S&P 500 this year: General Motors struggled due to worries about its recall of millions of cars due to defective ignition switches, for example. But such performance is part of why they have cheaper P/E ratios than their peers.

The bargain bin is empty now that the stock market’s big run since 2009 has pushed indexes to record highs and price tags up across a range of industries. That means many investors are lowering the bar. They’re looking for relative bargains since absolute discounts are no longer available. During the Great Recession, cheap stocks were plentiful: At its bottom, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index traded below nine times its expected earnings per share. Today, its price-toexpected-earnings ratio is 16. That’s its highest level since July 2007 and solidly above its average of 14 over the last decade.

Not cheap but cheaper

These stocks trade at lower price-earnings ratios than the average of their sector peers and also have higher expected earnings growth and dividend yields.

Woman unsure of telling kids about cheating father WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My husband had an affair for three years. I had no idea this was going on until he told me and filed for divorce. We have two teenage children, and I haven’t talked very much with them about the situation. I’ve never mentioned his girlfriend. I don’t even know whether he is still seeing the woman. My daughter, who is 18, told me that she’s been asked by others whether one of us cheated and that’s why we are divorcing. I skirted the question and asked how she replied to this, and she said, “I told them it was none of their business.” She never asked me outright whether this is what happened in our case, so I didn’t tell her. I don’t know whether or not I should say anything. Should I tell them to ask their father? After all, it’s not really my information to share. What happens if it comes up later and Dad decides to bring his girlfriend to a family event? That would devastate me. I think it would be good to have all of the information out in the open before that happens. My daughter has a great deal of disdain for people who cheat on their spouses, and I don’t want to hurt the excellent relationship she now has with her father. The two

Annie’s Mailbox of them have become very close since we separated, and I’m glad about that. Part of me wants to tell my children now and get it out of the way. I don’t want my daughter to think I’m giving her information in order to “get her on my side.” But I also don’t want her to be angry with me for withholding information that other family members know about. What do you say? — Worrier Dear Worrier: If your daughter asks directly whether one of you cheated, you should be honest without sounding bitter. But it seems as though she may not actually want to know. If her fears are confirmed, she may feel forced to distance herself from Dad. Should she find out later from other relatives and blame you for withholding the information, simply tell her that you didn’t want to damage the close relationship she had with her father, which is a commendable stance to take. We think she will forgive you.

Dear Annie: My husband and I recently received an invitation from “Debbie” to a cocktail party celebrating her high school graduation. We don’t know Debbie, but her grandmother used to work for our business. We aren’t sure how to respond. Normally a gift is expected, yet we don’t feel it’s appropriate, being that we have never met her and don’t know her parents, either. Is it appropriate to just send a card? Do we just ignore the invitation? — Questioning Con-grad-ulations Dear Questioning: Please don’t ignore an invitation to any event where the hostess may be counting heads to ensure sufficient food and drink. But you are not obligated to give a graduation gift to someone so distantly connected. A card of congratulations is perfectly appropriate and more than enough.
