MICHIE, Tenn. — A decision that was best for his family has led John Massey to resign as principal at Michie Elementary less than a week after taking the position. Massey and his family will be moving for new jobs in Middle Tennessee. McNairy County Director of Schools Wayne Henry hired Massey to be the principal at Michie and announced the decision at last week’s school board meeting. Massey would have been the successor to Henry at the school. “I had a good talk with Mr. Henry and he understands my decision,” said Massey. “There are a combination of things which led to this decision, but my wife and I wrestled with the decision and now we feel good about it.” Meghan Massey taught at Northside Elementary School in Hardin County, a 30-minute drive from their home in Acton. “I came into the office Monday and realized the schedule was going to require a lot of time away from my family,” said Massey. “When you look

at the big picture, I have to consider my family first.” Massey said he has peace about the decision and that he is comfortable God has opened doors for his family. Meghan is going to teach at Jack Anderson Elementary School in Hendersonville, one of the first STEM schools in Tennessee. Massey will choose between staying in education or selling insurance later this summer. “The move will allow us to be in the same school district,” said Massey. “Jack Anderson is one of the best elementary schools in the state.” Anderson Elementary has a daycare where the Massey’s children (Mary Collins, 4, and Tyler, 1) will stay while Meghan is teaching PE. “Mr. Henry and the people in Michie have been really good to us,” said Massey. “My decision to leave has nothing to do with Michie, but it is just I believe moving is the best thing for my family.” Massey’s brother, Seth, is a teacher/head basketball coach at Station Camp High School in nearby Gallatin. Jack An-

derson is a feeder school to Station Camp. Massey expressed appreciation to former director of schools John Prince and Henry for having the confidence to hire him as an administrator as a young man. “We are disappointed John is leaving our district, but we wish him and his family good luck for their future,” Henry said. Henry said he would post the opening at Michie in all of the county’s schools. He will check with other candidates who he interviewed prior to hiring Massey to see if they are still interested in the position. The director of schools said he would like to have a new principal hired by next week to allow them to be ready to go to work on Tuesday, July 5th. Massey played minor league baseball for the Seattle Mariners. He also played SEC baseball at Ole Miss and Tennessee. An Adamsville High graduate, he graduated from UT-Martin. He spent the last two years as assistant principal at Selmer Elementary School.

Today in History Today is Sunday, June 26, the 178th day of 2016. There are 188 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On June 26, 2015, a divided U.S. Supreme Court, in Obergefell v. Hodges, ruled 5-4 that same-sex couples had the right to marry nationwide as it overturned bans in 14 states.
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 Jersey’s Boardwalk was opened to the public. In 1925, Charles Chaplin’s classic comedy “The Gold Rush” premiered at Grauman’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 1945, the charter of the United Nations was signed by 50 countries in San Francisco. In 1950, President Harry S. Truman authorized the U.S. Air Force and Navy to enter the Korean War. In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower joined Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in ceremonies officially opening the St. Lawrence Seaway. Swedish boxer Ingemar Johansson knocked out Floyd Patterson in the third round of their match at New York’s Yankee Stadium to win the heavyweight title. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited West Berlin, where he delivered his famous speech expressing solidarity with the city’s residents, declaring: “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I am a Berliner). In 1973, former White House counsel John W. Dean told the Senate Watergate Committee about an “enemies list” 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 1990, President George H.W. Bush went back on his “no-newtaxes” campaign pledge, conceding that tax increases would have to be included in any deficit-reduction package worked out with congressional negotiators. In 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Virginia Military Institute to admit women, or forgo state support.
Across the Region Booneville Booneville aldermen approve promotions BOONEVILLE — Booneville aldermen approved promotions in the police department and agreed to consider security improvements at the new natural gas refueling station during a brief meeting on Tuesday. City Engineer David Moore said they have had a problem with unauthorized individuals tripping the emergency shutoff system at the fueling station. Once the system is activated the station cannot be used to fuel vehicles until it is properly reset, a time consuming procedure. Moore emphasized it makes no sense for someone to activate the shutoff other than to cause problems for city workers. He said there is no way for an unauthorized user to obtain fuel at the station. The board agreed to seek quotes for installation of security cameras at the facility. Police and city employees will also be making more regular checks and keeping a closer watch on the station for unusual activity. Aldermen approved the promotions of police department sergeants Karl Courtney and Ron Newcomb to the rank of captain, filling a pair of positions vacated with recent retirements and promotions. The board also voted to purchase a sign to be installed on the baseball field at the city park recognizing the city allstar 12 and under and 10 and under baseball teams for their recent second place wins in the state USAAA championship tournaments. Board members voted to post for the immediate hiring of a seasonal worker to operate the mosquito spraying truck.

Walnut Walnut native pens collection of stories WALNUT — In 2008, Kevin Winter went to work on a childhood dream and poured effort into it, according to the Southern-Sentinel. The Walnut native’s efforts didn’t play out exactly as intended, but something better may have come from them. Winter has loved reading since he was a child. His parents Bill and Kay Winter used to read to him and his brothers Josh, Greg and Ryan. As a result, he had always wanted to write a novel. So, in 2008 he began his focused work in January, with the intention of writing a novel within the year. He wrote, rewrote and rewrote again. In the end, unfortunately, he didn’t like what he had produced. What he did find a fondness for, though, were several short stories and pieces of short stories he had written as an occasional diversion from his main story. As he honed those beginnings, he built a world and a number of stories he did enjoy. Others enjoyed them, too. The stories he built from these beginnings have been published multiple times. His stories have been featured in online and print publications including Bartleby Snopes, The Medulla Review, Pantheon Magazine, The Battered Suitcase and The Dead Mule of Southern Literature. Earlier this year, Winter began further refining and compiling a set of his stories. Six short stories and a novella all set in a fictional Mississippi town are included in “A Place We All Know,” Winter’s first book. The book is available online through Amazon.com. It is available in print at The Flowers Girls gift shop in Walnut, Ripley Drugs in Ripley and Pizza Grocery in Corinth. The stories are all set in Millwood Branch, Hickahala County, Mississippi. The fictional locale is Winter’s creation.

Man pleads guilty to child porn charge OXFORD — Jeffrey Rakestraw could face up to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to two charges this week, according to WTVA. Rakestraw of Fulton plead guilty to one count of enticing a minor and one count of transporting child pornography through the internet. A federal grand jury returned a nine-count indictment against Rakestraw in February. Some of those charges involved a three-year-old boy. Those extra seven indictment charges are dismissed. The federal judge has not sentence Rakestraw, but will most likely do it in November when the pre-sentence report is complete. Investigators say when they searched Rakestraw’s phone and computer, they found more than 3,000 images of child porn and more than 1,000 videos. They say he was trading those images and videos to other people across the country.
Toyota plant gives tours to teachers
STARKVILLE — Police in Starkville have arrested a mother who they say gave birth to a child who had cocaine and marijuana in its system. Amanda Robinson, 34, of Starkville, was arrested Thursday. She is charged with aggravated assault, manifesting extreme indifference to human life. The child was born in May. Robinson was taken to the Oktibbeha County Jail. A judge has set her
BLUE SPRINGS — Northeast Mississippi teachers are trading in their grade books for hard hats this summer at Toyota Mississippi reports The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. Toyota has been bringing small groups of teachers to the plant in Blue Springs for tours throughout the summer as part of a pilot program that will lead to student tours sometime in the upcoming school year.
Those tours will be for selected groups of eighth graders from schools throughout Northeast Mississippi. A group of New Albany teachers toured the plant Thursday morning. One of the goals of the teacher tours is to collect feedback. Kathryn Ragsdale, external communications officer for Toyota Mississippi, said suggestions and comments from teachers will be used to improve or tweak the tour before bringing in students. The tour begins with a brief history of Toyota and an introductory video. Then, after suiting up in personal protective equipment, teachers hit the plant floor in golf carts to see how a Corolla is made. The tour winds through each step of the production process from beginning to end. Surrounded by fastmoving workers, hightech robots and halfbuilt cars floating overhead on conveyor belts, teachers witnessed firsthand the technology and skill the plant workers use on a daily basis. “We want them to see that the Toyota plant and manufacturing is a really great option for a career,” Ragsdale said. “We’re trying to develop our workforce, and when you get to see the inside of the plant you see the technology and see that everyone is wearing a polo shirt and khakis… It’s not exactly what you might have in mind.”
Aberdeen Aberdeen school board to add five ABERDEEN — Five people have been named to serve on the new school board for the Aberdeen School District, reports WTVA. The Mississippi Department of Education approved the selections during a meeting last week. The group includes James Miles Edwards, Jr., Patrick Luckett, William Dwight McComb, Tonny Oliver and Sandra Peoples. Edwards works for Southwest Energy, Incorporated; Luckett is the site educational leader for Tronox; McComb is a retired educator who worked in the Meridian and Aberdeen School District as a coach and teacher; Oliver is the director of the Boys and Girls Club of North Mississippi and Peoples works for the federal bankruptcy court in Aberdeen. The district has been under conservatorship for the past three years. The newly appointed board will work with current conservator Mac Curlee for one year.

Corinth, Miss.
Hood, Reeves could headline 2019 race JACKSON — The closing weeks of June have brought the first previews of what could be Mississippi’s 2019 race for governor — Jim Hood versus Tate Reeves. At this time last year, Phil Jeff Amy Bryant was cruising toward re-election, while truck driver Columnist Robert Gray was still six weeks from shocking the world by winning the Democratic primary without even voting for himself. Bryant, of course, demolished Gray in the general election. So maybe it seems too soon to be talking about 2019. But word began to trickle out following the Democrats’ annual Jefferson-Jackson-Hamer dinner in May that the attorney general, the last heavyweight Democratic politician in Mississippi, was finally going to take a shot at the governor’s mansion. And Hood’s actions since then bear that out. Talking to reporters last week, Hood expressed opposition to corporate tax cuts and called for more spending on roads and bridges, subjects pretty far afield from the usual utterances of the Chickasaw County prosecutor. Reeves’ calling card, since winning election as state treasurer before turning 30, has been skill as a money manager. The current budget problems cut against that strength. Bolstered by a recovery in state revenues following the 2009 recession, Republican leaders have often boasted that they had stopped spending one-time money. But the budget that ends Thursday has been pasted together using lawsuit settlements that Hood won and state savings, and even then will likely end tens of millions short. Then lawmakers tried to sweep $187 million that had been in special accounts into the general budget for the 2017 year, which begins July 1. But Hood issued legal opinions that say $72 million of that money is legally classified as trust funds, meaning an agency is just holding it for someone else. Hood said lawmakers could come back and amend the individual trust fund laws to legally take the money, but barring such a move, he says they can’t lay hands on it. “If they go on and sweep it, we may have to go in and challenge that authority,” Hood said, obliquely threatening a lawsuit. The overall budget gap is wider than $72 million. There’s also a $56 million miscalculation adding to the 2017 shortfall, Medicaid and some other mandatory expenses are underfunded, and it’s unclear how the messy end to 2016’s budget might ripple into 2017. Lawmakers could easily be looking at $250 million deficit in 2017 if revenue collections don’t improve or spending isn’t cut. Hood’s blaming the gap on $350 million in corporate tax relief given by lawmakers from 2012 to 2015, saying lawmakers grabbed the special fund money to cover what they’d done. Reeves doubled down on tax cuts, pushing a $415 million, multiyear tax reduction through the Legislature that includes eliminating Mississippi’s $260-million-a-year corporate franchise tax. When someone else challenges Reeves, he tends to strike back, both verbally and in legislation. He seemed to recognize Hood as a threat last week, when he hurled the biggest insult a Mississippi Republican could hurl at a Democrat — linking him to President Barack Obama. Reeves also accused Hood of issuing a self-serving legal opinion to hold onto trust fund money controlled by his office. “Obama’s attorney general in Mississippi takes the same approach that Obama’s attorney general in Washington takes: Ignore the law if it doesn’t meet your political views,” Reeves said in a statement. “The attorney general wants to double dip his spending, ignores the need for taxpayers’ accountability and transparency and has instructed bureaucrats to ignore the law.” Next stop, speeches at the Neshoba County Fair. It will be hot. (Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.)
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.
A verse to share Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. —Malachi 3:10
A blow against unilateral government Critics of Donald Trump worry what would happen if a man with little regard for the Constitution and a willingness to impose his personal will on a hot-button issue like immigration became president. This isn’t a far-fetched scenario — in fact, it has already happened. A deadlocked Supreme Court let stand a lower-court order blocking President Barack Obama’s unilateral bid to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants in a wholly outrageous violation of our constitutional norms. President Obama’s order was so flagrantly lawless that he had repeatedly denied he had the power to act on his own — until he did. The “deferred action” program in question granted amnesty to the illegal-immigrant parents of U.S.-born children and expanded a previous executive amnesty for illegal immigrants who came here before age 16. The administration claimed the program was merely an exercise in prosecutorial discretion. In reality, it was a new legal dispensation, giving a broad category of illegal immigrants work
permits, Social Security numbers, and driver’s licenses, among other benefits. Rich In his reLowry huffy marks after National the Supreme Review Court decision, Obama said that when Congress refused to act on so-called comprehensive immigration reform, he “was left with little choice but to take steps within my existing authority to make our immigration system smarter, fairer and more just.” But there is no clause in the Constitution giving the president power to legislate in the absence of congressional enactments. The appeals court noted that nearly 150 pages of instructions were issued on how to carry out the president’s previous executive amnesty, and only about 5 percent of more than 700,000 applications were denied. The president of the union representing the immigration workers charged with processing those applications said the Depart-
ment of Homeland Security worked to ensure that they were “rubber-stamped.” President Obama himself had said that DHS officials who didn’t implement his latest edict would face “consequences.” So much for discretion. In his post-decision statement, President Obama referred to our “broken” immigration system, a favorite cliché of supporters of amnesty. The brokenness of the system, though, is largely a function of the long-standing refusal by the federal government to enforce our immigration laws. If we didn’t enforce our tax or environment laws, they’d be broken, too. President Obama is said by his critics on the openborders left to be the Deporter-in-Chief, but this is a misnomer wrapped in an act of statistical legerdemain. The Obama administration began counting deportations differently to get the numbers up. President Obama himself has admitted that this accounting gimmick is misleading. The truth is that interior enforcement has been gutted. John Sandweg, former
acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has said, “If you are a run-of-the-mill immigrant here illegally, your odds of getting deported are close to zero.” The conventional wisdom is that better border controls and a weak economy have checked the flow of illegal immigrants, but the numbers are beginning to tell a different story. According to data from the Center for Immigration Studies, illegal immigration in 2014 and 2015 — with other countries picking up the slack from Mexico — is significantly up from the level of the prior two years. Overall, the number of new legal and illegal immigrants is now higher than before the 2007 recession. No matter how highhanded President Obama has been in defying the separation of powers to get his way on immigration, an even more lawless president beckons. Hillary Clinton has pledged to go even further. (Daily Corinthian columnist Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.)
Hire the best company for the job A few weeks ago, I wrote about the private contract with IMS to manage the special one percent sales tax to fund improvements to Jackson’s infrastructure. It is a deal fraught with waste and cronyism, involving payoffs to “minority firms” with little real operating experience. As bad as that deal is, the AECOM deal to manage the city’s $400 million EPA consent decree is even worse. AECOM is a global firm with annual revenue of $18 billion. They have tons of experience in water and sewer projects. Fortune magazine named them “One of the Most Admired Firms in the World” two years in a row. But for AECOM to get the Jackson business, it had to make deals with several politically-connected minority firms. All this does is add millions to the project – millions the city doesn’t have. Jackson taxpayers, 80 percent of whom are minority, get screwed. Just last week, Mayor Tony Yarber was upset because the Jackson City Council nixed the AECOM deal by a 3-2 vote. “We have the best option in front of the council,” Yarber said. Some best option. Just last week one of the five AECOM minority subcontractors was indicted by a Hinds County grand jury

for defrauding Medicaid of a million dollars. Jackson Redevelopment Authority Commissioner A n d r i a Jones could face 20 years
in prison. According to the AECOM proposal, Jones’ Access Training Inc. would get five percent of the $11.5 million contract for “stakeholder engagement, public outreach and workforce development.” Say what? The city of Jackson is dumping polluted water into the Pearl. This is an emergency. Our older sewage pipes have huge cracks. Sewage is pouring out of manholes. This is no time for “public outreach,” much less from a woman just indicted for fraud. A Google search provides little record of Access Training having any track record as a company. It appears to be a startup designed solely to get minority business contracts with the government. On one AECOM document, Jones appears to represent M&M Professionals LLC. On another AECOM document, M&M Professionals switches its top exec-
utive to Malcolm Shepherd, and Jones reappears as president of Access Training Inc. This game of musical chairs gives credence to the accusation that these are shell companies created solely to skim money from city contracts. M&M Professional’s Malcolm Shepherd has been president of the Central Mississippi Blues Society for six years. Glad to see him supporting local music, but that’s not exactly the skill set needed to rebuild our infrastructure. Like Access Training, a Google search turns up no record of any past operating history for M&M Professionals. So why on earth would the city of Jackson give four percent of this huge contract to a company with no experience? TMMHall Professional Services LLC has 16 percent of the consent decree management deal. Marques Hall is the lead executive of TMMHall. Hall was a full-time employee of the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) until the media got wind of his involvement in the AECOM deal. MDOT Commissioner Dick Hall confronted Hall about this moonlighting, which would have amounted to $368,000 a year. Hall then resigned his MDOT position.

Hall’s partner is Johnny Crisler, brother of Marshand Crisler, Jackson’s deputy chief administrative officer. Doesn’t all this seem very cozy? Like Access Training and M&M, TMMHall has no website and a Google search turns up little record of engineering contracts or operating history. What history exists involves city of Jackson deals. William McElroy’s M3A Architecture PLLC, has 17 percent of the consent decree deal. M3A appears to be a real company with real employees and a real track record of designing buildings, mainly for the government. But you have to ask, why do you hire an architectural firm to do water and sewer work? That makes zero sense. Finally, we have Kieu-Anh Tran of Q Solutions of Atlanta, Ga. Her part of the deal is a tiny one percent, but she seems legit. She is on the advisory board to the Mississippi State Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Jackson is broke. The cost to repave our roads and rebuild our sewers is huge. Why put money on cronyism? The minority set-asides are hurting the citizens of Jackson. This accomplishes nothing. We need to hire the best company, period.

plans to close any of our branch libraries, but we will have to continue operating with a limited staff.” The director said state funding in the past has helped supplement employee income. “The majority of our funding comes from the supervisors in each of our four counties – Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss and Tippah,” said McMulllin. “We always ask for an increase, but rarely get one. In fact, because the four counties have been in such a financial difficulty the last few years, the regional library staff has not received a raise in eight years.” According to McMullin, the Northeast Regional Library Board of Trustees sets a budget each year that they feel is realistic. He said Tishomingo County supervisors have voted twice to cut the library budget. Alcorn County funding is also down two percent. “I feel like we are already working with a very minimal budget compared to other regional
• The Corinth Library was one of a few libraries across the state featured in a publication recently created by the Mississippi Library Commission. “Libraries ... Sharing the World” was a special book presented to Mississippi lawmakers during
Library Day at the Capital this spring. The book provided Mississippi library information to lawmakers. • McMullin reported a great attendance so far by both children and adults during the Northeast Regional Library’s annual Summer Library Program. “All 13 branches are doing programs in June and July to help children overcome the summer slide,” said McMullin. “The programs encourage reading and are scheduled each week to bring children to the library. During their time here, we encourage them to check out books. We even help kids track the number of minutes they read during the summer.” A program presented last week at the Corinth Library featured the popular “Snake Man.” “We had 96 children and 43 adults show up,” he said. “It was a great turn out and a lot of fun.” At the Booneville Library, McMullin said 97 children showed up during a special Touch-ATruck event with a fire truck and ambulance.
students to help students find success.” Johnson credits the district’s Career Technical programs for helping increase graduation rates. “Those programs have been increased as well as dual enrollment and dual credit college courses. All of these opportunities are designed to help students earn a diploma and be ready to become a productive part of the work force or enter college ready to earn a degree,” added Johnson. “We do not want any student to feel he/she has no choice but to drop out.” On a state level, districts showed a four-year graduation rate of 80.8 percent, up from 78.4 for the 2014-15 school year. The nation’s high school graduation rate hit 82
percent in 2013-14. At this rate of growth, Mississippi could surpass the national rate by next year, according to MDE. The graduation rate for students with disabilities also increased significantly statewide, to 33.6 percent from 27.5 percent the previous school year. Other area school district numbers include Booneville, 88 percent graduation rate and 8.9 percent dropout rate; North Tippah, 81.9 percent graduation rate and 9.6 percent dropout rate; Prentiss, 80.8 percent graduation rate and 11.5 percent dropout rate; South Tippah, 81 percent graduation rate and 9.9 percent dropout rate; and Tishomingo, 84.5 percent graduation rate and 5.1 percent dropout rate.
libraries of our size,” said McMullin. Rural libraries including those in Rienzi, Burnsville, Walnut and Tishomingo will continue to stuffer the most from underfunding. “One of the proposals this year by the Mississippi Library Commission was that the state would support funding for all the libraries to receive fiber and broadband Internet,” said McMullin. “So far that has not been approved, but it would be tremendous for us if it happens.” The director added, “we do not have enough funding to bring our public computer and Internet access up to standards at some of our libraries. Until then, our ability to serve the public will reduce each year.”

Gangs suspected in shooting BY EMILY SCHMALL Associated Press
FORT WORTH, Texas — Officers are preparing to make arrests in connection with the suspected gang-related shootings that left two people dead and at least five others injured Saturday morning during an unauthorized party at a Texas dance studio, a police spokesman said. Fort Worth police spokesman Mark Povero told The Associated Press arrests are imminent and that investigators believe gang activity was involved. An unknown number of people exchanged gunfire from the studio’s parking lot and across the street around midnight Saturday. The shooting began, witnesses told police, when a man ran toward the door to exit the studio. Officers found one victim dead outside Stu-
dio 74 in Fort Worth, and several people were transported to hospitals — one of whom died from his injuries, police said. Laura Reyna, owner and artistic director of the studio, called it an unauthorized event. She said she didn’t even know the group of about 60 people was there until one of her instructors called her at 12:45 a.m. to report a commotion at the facility. “I would consider it trespassing just for the fact that as the owner and operator of this facility I did not know, nor was there an exchange of any formal contract for people to be inside there,” said Reyna, who has owned the facility for four years. An employee of the facility, Jason Moore, was working at the time and said he used a towel to compress the chest of one of the victims, who
later died right outside the front door of the studio. “He got hit in the lungs, so there was no coming back for him,” Moore said. Moore said several members of the group were carrying guns and that he thought he heard shots fired inside as well. Reyna said Moore was unaware that the group wasn’t supposed to be at the facility. Moore said the shooting occurred around midnight. He rushed people out through a side door of the studio, which sits on a state highway near a police station, multiple businesses and restaurants and homeless shelters and food pantries. Broken glass from a trophy case and plastic cups covered the floor of the studio Saturday morning. Blood stains could be seen outside the building, near scat-
tered chairs and garbage — including empty liquor bottles. Studio 74’s website says the facility brings “dance programming to underserved communities and the general public to reach audiences and participants of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds.” Fort Worth-based soul artist Leon Bridges has danced there, Reyna said. The walls were covered in graffiti and championship banners won by the studio’s in-house dance troupe. “I’m very heartfelt for the family and victims,” Reyna said. “This is a place, it’s a nonprofit organization. We deal in hip hop culture and we cater to our community. It’s a safe haven ... we dance, we compete. We try to stay away from events like this that happen.”
Dems’ policy reflects Sanders’ influence BY KEN THOMAS Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — A draft of the Democratic Party’s policy positions reflects the influence of Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign: endorsing steps to break up large Wall Street banks, advocating a $15 hourly wage, urging an end to the death penalty. Hillary Clinton’s supporters turned back efforts by Sanders’ allies to promote a Medicare-forall single-payer health care system and a carbon tax to address climate change, and freeze hydraulic fracking. While the platform does not bind the Democratic nominee to the stated positions, it serves as a guidepost for the party moving forward. Party officials approved the draft early Saturday. The Democratic National Convention’s full Platform Committee will discuss the draft at a meeting next month in Orlando, Florida, with a vote at the convention in Philadelphia in late July. Sanders said Friday he
would vote for Clinton, the presumptive nominee, in the fall election, but so far has stopped short of fully endorsing the former secretary of state or encouraging his millions of voters to back her candidacy. The Vermont senator has said he wants the platform to reflect his goals — and those representing him at a St. Louis hotel said they had made progress. “We lost some but we won some,” said James Zogby, a Sanders supporter on the committee. “We got some great stuff in the platform that has never been in there before.” Added Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., a Sanders ally: “We’ve made some substantial moves forward.” Deliberating late into Friday, the group considered language on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, an issue that has divided Democrats. The committee defeated an amendment led by Zogby that would have called for providing Palestinians with “an end

to occupation and illegal settlements” and urged an international effort to rebuild Gaza. The draft reflects Clinton’s views and advocates working toward a “two-state solution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict” that guarantees Israel’s security with recognized borders “and provides the Palestinians with independence, sovereignty, and dignity.” In many cases, Clinton’s side gave ground to Sanders. The document calls for the expansion of Social Security and says Americans should earn at least $15 an hour, referring to the current minimum wage of $7.25 an hour as a “starvation wage,” a term often used by Sanders. Sanders has pushed for a $15-an-hour minimum wage. Clinton has supported efforts to raise the minimum wage to that level but has said states and cities should raise the bar as high as possible. Sanders’ allies wanted the draft to specify calls for a $15 per hour mini-
mum wage indexed with inflation. Clinton’s side struck down a direct link, noting the document elsewhere included a call to “raise and index the minimum wage.” The committee also adopted language that said it supports ways to prevent banks from gambling with taxpayers’ bank deposits, “including an updated and modernized version of GlassSteagall.” Sanders wants to reinstate the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act, which prohibited commercial banks from engaging in investment banking activities. Clinton does not, but says her proposed financial changes would cast a wider net by regulating the banking system. Also in the draft is a call for the abolition of the death penalty. Clinton said during a debate this year that capital punishment should only be used in limited cases involving “heinous crimes.” Sanders said the government should not use it.

Floods kill dozens in West Virginia BY JONATHAN MATTISE Associated Press
CLENDENIN, W.Va. — Surrounded by muddy devastation, Cathy Light and her husband Chris thought it was “heaven sent” they had free burgers to munch on in a Clendenin parking lot Saturday. To their left, the roof of a Dairy Queen slumped to the pavement. Behind it, a trailer home was ripped from its foundation, with four concrete stairs all that remained in the ground. Occasional whiffs of rotten food wafted from a nearby grocery store that, not long ago, was filled with five feet of muck water. Before they jumped in a rescue boat in Clendenin on Saturday, the Lights could only save their dog Odie and a TV that sat atop a bedroom dresser — the highest-up they stored anything in their house, really. The heavy rains that pummeled West Virginia resulted in at least 24 deaths, leaving families homeless with the tearful realization that they’re starting from scratch. “I don’t have anything,” said Cathy Light, as she ate the free meal provided by Grace Community Church. “Where do we go now?” The scene in Clendenin, located in Kanawha County, wasn’t as deadly as in Rainelle. Sixteen people died in Greenbrier County, at least 15 of them in Ranielle. Greenbrier is the only county where Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s administration believes people remain missing. “It does not appear there are unaccounted for people in other counties, but it’s still a somewhat fluid situation,” said Chris Stadelman, Tomblin’s chief of staff. Rainelle Mayor Andrea “Andy” Pendleton wept as she surveyed her town Saturday. “I weep for my people, I

weep for the businesses,” she said. About six buses full of people whose homes were either without power or too damaged to inhabit were evacuated. Some were taken initially to a fire department facility, but then it flooded so they were moved to an abandoned store. When that started to flood, buses took the evacuees to a church 40 miles away. Search and rescue teams went house to house, marking those checked with a spraypainted ‘X.’ Abandoned pets were taken to a shelter. A water department filtration system, built with a $2.6 million loan, was damaged, Pendleton said. Help came from multiple sources, including two search and rescue teams from Virginia. Six other deaths were reported in Kanawha, in addition to one each in Jackson and Ohio counties. About 500 people were stranded overnight in a shopping center when a bridge washed out, and dozens of other people had to be plucked off rooftops or rescued from their cars. A gravel access road was built to let them out. On Saturday, Tomblin was approved for a major federal disaster declaration to get help for Greenbrier and the two other counties hardest hit by flooding. Tomblin’s office said he made an expedited verbal request Saturday to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for individual assistance for Kanawha, Greenbrier and Nicholas counties. Individual assistance includes housing and crisis counseling. Some of the heaviest rainfall was in Greenbrier County, where The Greenbrier luxury resort and golf course is nestled in the mountains. The PGA Tour has canceled a tournament there from July 4-10 because the course is overrun by floodwaters. “Cancelling The Greenbrier Classic is certainly the most prudent course of action as our foremost concern is the well-being of those who are having to live through this tragic situation,” PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in a news release Saturday. “Our thoughts and prayers are with them.”

Maine teen to serve as pledged delegate AUGUSTA, Maine — Trevor Doiron isn’t old enough to vote until late July. But when he does, he’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton as one of the youngest national Democratic delegates this year. The 17-year-old’s choice surprised many of his friends who are die-hard supporters of Bernie Sanders. But Doiron says he wants to get them on board to defeat Donald Trump. Doiron noted that Clinton herself has said that unlike President Obama or her husband Bill, she’s not a natural politician. He hopes she will keep emphasizing policies appealing to young people, like her so-called “debt-free� college plan. Doiron is one of eight pledged Clinton delegates from Maine. Sanders, who beat Clinton by a nearly 30-point margin in March, will have 17 pledged delegates.
Wildfire torches 80 homes, kills couple LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. — A vast and voracious wildfire that has burned at least 80 homes in central California killed an elderly couple as they tried to flee, authorities said. The two were outside their house when they were overcome with smoke, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a Friday evening news conference on the fire that has burned nearly 47 square miles and forced the evacuation of 1,500 homes near Lake Isabella, a popular recreation area east of Bakersfield. The names of the two dead, whose bodies were found Friday, have not been released. The sheriff said his department hasn’t been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. At least 80 houses were destroyed as the fire leveled neighborhoods and forced thousands to flee. David Klippel, 78, a retired police officer,
said he didn’t see much of a threat after receiving an automated call advising him to leave. That changed dramatically within an hour Thursday afternoon. “I’ve never been so close to a fast-moving, ferocious fire. It was unbelievable,� said Klippel, who later learned his house had caught fire. “I almost didn’t have time to get out.� Neighborhoods of mobile homes were charred to their foundations. Gusty winds pushed the flames and smoke farther into drought-starved terrain. The fire is 5 percent contained. “The forces of nature collided with a spark,� Kern County Fire Chief Brian Marshall said. “The mountainous terrain, five years of drought and wind gusts of over 20 mph all drove a fire over 11 miles in 13 hours.�
Case undermines NYPD gun permits NEW YORK — A corruption probe at the New York Police Department has cast a harsh light on how people get handgun permits in a city that boasts some of the nation’s toughest gun laws. Federal prosecutors say a shady fixer’s cash bribes induced officers working in NYPD’s licensing division to rubber-stamp dozens of gun applications, circumventing stringent background checks intended to weed out candidates with criminal records, mental health problems and other red flags. The potential public safety breach comes amid a national debate over whether easy access to weapons fueled the Orlando massacre and other mass shootings. “We don’t want guns getting into the wrong hands, and we have officers of the law facilitating that process,� said Leah Gunn Barrett, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. “That is not a good situation.� The New York investigation caught Alex “Shaya� Lichtenstein, a volunteer safety patrol member, on tape bragging that he had obtained at least 150 licenses for people to carry guns by paying up

to $6,000 in bribes for each weapon. The bribes were covered by fees of $10,000 or more paid by clients who in turn saw their applications to carry a handgun approved in two months or less — compared to as long as a year in normal circumstances — while other clients saw their criminal histories ignored. Investigators say one person got a permit despite being arrested for bribing a public official and for assault. Another license holder was arrested on a forgery charge and was the subject of domestic violence complaints, including one involving a death threat. Lichtenstein “was no less than an arms dealer for the community,� a federal prosecutor said at an arraignment last month when Lichtenstein pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit bribery.
Arizona abandons drug for executions PHOENIX — The state of Arizona has eliminated its use of the sedative midazolam as one of the drugs it relies on in carrying out executions. Lawyers for the state said in a court filing Friday that its current supply of midazolam expired on May 31 and that Arizona’s sources of the drug have dried up because of pressure from opponents of the death penalty. That leaves Arizona with other lethal-drug combinations, but the state’s lawyers said they can’t currently carry out executions because it has no access to supplies of pentobarbital and sodium thiopental. The status of the state’s lethal-injection drug supplies were revealed Friday in a court filing in a lawsuit that challenges the way Arizona carries out the death penalty. Executions in Arizona were put on hold after the July 2014 death of convicted killer Joseph Rudolph Wood, who was given 15 doses of midazolam and a painkiller and who took nearly two hours to die. His attorney says the execution was botched.

Attorneys clash over LGBT law’s impact JACKSON — Attorneys trying to block a Mississippi law dealing with religious objections to same-sex marriage argued Friday that it unconstitutionally establishes state-preferred beliefs and treats lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people different from other citizens. State attorneys defending House Bill 1523 argued that it simply protects government employees, business people and others who believe marriage should only be between a woman and a man. The bill was filed in response to last summer’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized samesex marriage nationwide. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves on Friday finished hearing three days of arguments over three lawsuits that asking him to block the bill from becoming law next Thursday. Reeves asked dozens of questions of attorneys on both sides, focusing on how the law would affect the lives of LGBT people and whether any same-sex marriage opponents have been prohibited from exercising their religion since the marriages became legal. The judge also asked whether legislators would try other approaches to satisfy gay-marriage opponents if House Bill 1523 is blocked: “What would prevent the state of Mississippi from doing what I call the whack-amole theory?�
Lewis estate sale draws crowd of fans NESBIT — There’s a whole lot of sellin’ going on at the home of rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis. An estate sale continued Saturday at Lewis’ home in the Mississippi suburbs of Memphis, Tennessee. Lewis’ son, Jerry Lee Lewis III, wrote on Facebook that his father and stepmother, Judith, aren’t moving. But they want to sell excess furniture and memorabilia that the 81-year-old has accumulated during a career spanning seven decades. WMC-TV reports that fans came from as far
away as Germany and Australia on Friday to try and buy something that had belonged to the pianist and singer. They were already lining up at 1:30 a.m. Some of the items for sale included vintage records, custom jackets, and a Rolls Royce.
Unemployment rate, payrolls drop in May JACKSON — Mississippi’s jobless rate fell to 5.8 percent in May, because fewer people sought work even as the number of workers with jobs shrank. It’s the state’s lowest unemployment rate since March 2004. Mississippi’s jobless rate dropped for the fifth straight month, down from 6 percent in April and 6.5 percent in May 2015. Mississippi had the ninth-highest jobless rate among states in May, with Alaska highest at 6.7 percent. The nationwide jobless rate was 4.7 percent. Another survey shows Mississippi payrolls, used by many economists as a top indicator, fell 3,000 in May. Payrolls remained 10,000 above May 2015. Both sets of figures, adjusted to cancel out seasonal changes, were released this week by the state.
Lawmakers spar over bill reading JACKSON — A Democratic lawmaker says his bill-reading dispute with Mississippi’s Republican House speaker isn’t simply a spat over legislative rules. Rep. Jay Hughes of Oxford says Speaker Philip Gunn violated the state Constitution by setting a computer voice to read bills aloud at a superfast speed. Hughes’ attorney says House members called it a “demon chipmunk� voice. The state constitution says legislators can request bill readings. The practice is a common filibuster tactic. Democrats forced bill readings in March because they thought their ideas were being ignored by the Republican supermajority. Hughes sued Gunn over the speedy voice, and the dispute awaits consideration in the state Supreme Court.
Gunn’s attorneys say legislators can read bills themselves on stateissued computers and it’s unnecessary for bills to be read at a comprehensible pace.
May casino revenue plunges along river JACKSON — The health of Mississippi’s two casino markets continued to diverge in May, with Gulf Coast casinos continuing to show health growth, while gambling revenue fell sharply along the Mississippi River. Figures released this week by the state Revenue Department show casinos won $177 million in May, down 4 percent from $185 million in May 2015. That’s because revenue at the 16 Mississippi River casinos plunged 14 percent from May 2015, falling to $73 million. The slide reversed hopeful signs that a long slide in revenues along the river might be bottoming out. Gamblers lost $104 million at the 12 coastal casinos, 4 percent more than last April. It’s the ninth increase for coastal casinos in the last year.
2nd of 2 escaped prisoners captured JACKSON — Mississippi authorities say they have captured the second of two murder suspects who had previously escaped from a detention center in Raymond. Authorities on Friday night said 29-year-old Malcolm Jamal Landfair was apprehended at an undisclosed location, and is being returned to jail. Hinds County Sheriff Victor Mason tells WAPT-TV that Landfair and 19-year-old Gerome Moore escaped early Thursday morning through a hole they made in the wall of a jail cell at the detention center in Raymond. Moore was captured Thursday afternoon. He is charged in the 2015 carjacking and murder of 69-year-old Carolyn Temple in Belhaven. Landfair was arrested in December 2015 in connection with a shooting at Red Apple Inn Apartments that killed Christopher Catchings. Both men are expected to face escape charges.

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart is selling its Chinese online business to the country’s No. 2 e-commerce site in a strategic partnership that it hopes will bolster its presence in the extraordinarily lucrative but increasingly competitive online marketplace. The company said Monday it is giving JD.com ownership of its Yihaodian e-commerce site in China, including the brand and app. WalMart’s Sam’s Club China

will open a flagship section on JD.com, and both companies will leverage their supply chains and broaden the range of imported goods. Wal-Mart will take a 5 percent stake in JD.com, or nearly 145 million newly issued Class A shares in the company. The move comes as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is trying to improve its overall business in China, now the fourth-largest international market by sales. Business has been slow and uneven, and it operates just over 400 stores despite entering the country 20 years ago. It sees bolstering its online business as the future to growth in China. Wal-Mart says it could see a tremendous amount of traffic from JD.com’s huge customer base and its same-day delivery network. JD.com has nearly 6,000 delivery and pickup stations in about 2,500 counties and districts across China. Yihaodian owns and operates only about 250 hubs. Though JD.com’s strength is in brandname electronics, it will be able to help capitalize on Yihaodian’s strong brand name and business in eastern and southern China and in important categories such as groceries and household goods. Food is among the growing number of products that Chinese shoppers are increasingly migrating online to shop for, which is a big reason why traffic has declined at the company’s namesake stores in China as well as at its rival’s big stores. Sam’s Clubs in China, which number 13, has been a bright spot in the China business, as the company focuses on affluent Chinese shoppers who have been embracing Western ways of shopping. Wal-Mart has sought to establish itself as a source for high-quality food in the wake of a slew of safety issues in China, and has highlighted imported food to cater to middle-class shoppers looking for premium goods. Wal-Mart previously had just 1.6 percent of China’s overall online market, ranking it No. 6 — well behind powerhouse Alibaba’s 46.9 percent and JD.com’s 20.1 percent, according to research firm Euromonitor International. The research firm excludes consumer-to-consumer selling. Wal-Mart had been fighting Alibaba, JD.com, and a swarm of smaller, online food sellers.

Woman denied shower for her baby resists going to sister’s D E A R ABBY: My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for five. We have Abigail an 8-yeardaughVan Buren old ter. Yes, the math is clear Dear Abby -- she was a “love child.” My family is religious, and although I was 22 at the time of my pregnancy, they announced that I would not be having a baby shower because I had conceived in sin and it wouldn’t look right. My sister and her husband of five years recently announced that she is pregnant and I am expected to attend showers and parties for her. Am I wrong for not wanting to go? I’ll gladly send a gift and be there when the baby is born, but I’d prefer to avoid having to attend any social function where I am shamed for living differently. Her friends are so judgmental that if they suspect you smoke, drink or curse, they roll their eyes and go out of their way to avoid you. -- SHAMED IN DELAWARE DEAR SHAMED: Baby showers are intended to welcome a new life into the world. They are not supposed to be vehicles for shaming anyone. Frankly, I’m
surprised that some of your less religiously fervent friends didn’t get together to see that you were given one. Because you and your sister’s judgmental crowd have so little in common and you would prefer to avoid them, you have my blessing. DEAR ABBY: Two teenage boys who live on our block frequently ride their skateboards in the street. They wear no protective padding or helmets and pay no attention to their surroundings. They stay out at all hours in the summer, come flying into the street and swerve over both lanes of traffic. I have seen cars narrowly avoid hitting them many times, and I hear cars honking at them and drivers shouting. Their parents don’t seem to care. They also let their dogs run loose around the neighborhood and into the street, and often back out of their driveway without looking. I know I’ll get nowhere speaking to them. I’m terrified that I’ll hit one of the boys with my car. I have come close twice and got dirty looks from them both times. I warn my visitors to watch out for them. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before something awful happens, and I don’t want to go to jail or live with a lifetime of guilt because of their irresponsible behavior. Any ideas? -- NERVOUS IN NEW ENGLAND DEAR NERVOUS: Regardless
of whether you think it will get you anywhere, talk to the parents about how dangerous their teenagers’ behavior is, and when you do, explain that there have been a couple of near misses. After that, if the boys continue to ride in the street, mention it to your local police department and perhaps the boys will be cited for their recklessness. (Some communities have ordinances requiring the use of helmets.) If the dogs create a nuisance, contact animal control. After that, que sera, sera, and your conscience should be clear. DEAR ABBY: As a 13-year-old girl, how can I look presentable? Doesn’t looking presentable attract boys? -- NEW AT IT IN NEW JERSEY DEAR NEW AT IT: Looking presentable attracts everyone. It doesn’t have to involve spending a lot of money. Bathe or shower regularly, be sure your hair is combed and tidy and the clothes you wear are clean. Looking presentable sends a message that you have pride in yourself and respect for others -- and that includes adults and other girls. 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). The way you view things is important, now more than any other time in history, because you actually have the ability to hide this, highlight that -- your options are deep and wide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Public affairs get one part of your brain, and private interests get another. Today there’s a mismatch in this regard, but it might not be worth recalibrating for it. For now, it’s enough to note the discrepancies. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t have to do good works to be accepted. You don’t have to be virtuous in order to be loved. Do the good, virtuous thing because it’s the expression of your spirit that celebrates you best. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If the fruit is good, how can the tree be evil? Perhaps all of these judgements are unnecessary. Keep it simple. Do the next right thing, and if you’re not sure what that is, do the thing that feels the most loving.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you could raise your faith three stories higher, what would life look like from that vantage? How would it change your heart, your decisions or (perhaps most relevantly now) your schedule? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is surprisingly difficult to follow your own advice, be true to your own views and give sincere obedience to your own dictates. If you can pull this off, you’ll be successful in many other ways as well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s something totally irresistible in your midst. This wanting may cause a dull ache or even a sharp pain. Either way, this is a far better sensation than feeling nothing at all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re happy for the glorious options available to you. You have eagle vision today and can see all possible paths and where they lead. Does that make choosing easier or harder? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). There are rules to every game. Follow them and it’s a good game. Disregard them and it’s mayhem. Your chances of winning are greatly enhanced today because you stick to the plan. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though you’re in a mood to “wing it” you’ve already agreed to show up in certain places at particular times to produce specific results. Honoring those agreements will bring tremendous good fortune. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Certain attitudes and behaviors are more conducive to success in life than others. You’re inclined to take on the responsibility of being a cheerleader, and it suits you well now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Happiness is more about what’s within you than anything on the outside. There’s so much you’re grateful for, and for much of the day your mind will be occupied with the task of counting your blessings.

CASPER, Wyo. — Freshman cowboy Marcus Theriot added to his already impressive list of rodeo accomplishments by claiming the All-Around national championship and tie-down roping title in leading the East Mississippi Community College men’s team to a school-best, fifth-place national finish at the 2016 College National Finals Rodeo. The week-long collegiate rodeo competition was held at the Casper Events Center in Wyoming. Having previously earned the 2014 National High School Finals Rodeo AllAround Cowboy title, Theriot, of Poplarville, totaled
510 points while competing in three different events at this year’s CNFR to finish 120 points ahead of reserve champion Clayton Biglow of men’s team champion Feather River College. Along with collecting 260 points in winning the tie-down roping title, Theriot earned 170 points by advancing to Saturday’s championship round of the team roping competition with Lane Mitchell of the University of Tennessee at Martin. Theriot also added 80 points in the steer wrestling event by winning the second-go round with a time of 3.9 seconds. “Marcus is a true champion and an outstanding rodeo athlete,” EMCC head rodeo
coach Morgan Goodrich said. “His work ethic, team leadership and family values all continue to contribute to his great success in and out of the rodeo arena.” Theriot, the son of 1994 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) tie-down roping world champion Herbert Theriot, captured the CNFR’s tie-down roping title with a composite time of 38.1 seconds during the week, including respective 8.0 and 8.2-second efforts during the second and third short-go rounds of preliminary competition heading into Saturday’s short-go round. Following his 9.8-second showing during the finals, Theriot needed some additional help
as several of his top competitors in the event struggled during their final runs on Saturday. The team roping competition helped solidify Theriot’s first collegiate All-Around championship. The 2015 Mississippi High School Rodeo Association Boys’ AllAround champion partnered with Mitchell of UT Martin to turn in a 5.7-second run for third-place honors during the third short-go round. That effort qualified the tandem for Saturday’s finals, where they clocked in at 9.1 seconds to place fifth with an average score of 32.4 composite seconds during the week. Please see CNFR | 11A

Arizona, Coastal head to CWS finals Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Bobby Dalbec pitched seven innings of four-hit ball, Zach Gibbons drove in three runs and Arizona beat Oklahoma State 5-1 on Saturday to advance to the College World Series finals. The Wildcats, who forced a second Bracket 1 final by beating the Cowboys 9-3 on Friday, returned to the best-of-three finals in their first CWS appearance since
winning the 2012 national championship. They are 6-0 in NCAA Tournament elimination games. Arizona (48-22) will face TCU or Coastal Carolina beginning on Monday. Dalbec (11-5), a fourthround draft pick of the Boston Red Sox, allowed only two baserunners over his last four innings. He struck out six and is leading the NCAA Tournament with 33 in his five appearances.
The Wildcats chased Big 12 pitcher of the year Thomas Hatch (9-3) when their first two batters reached in the third inning. It was the shortest outing of the season for the Chicago Cubs’ thirdround pick. He was charged with four runs and five hits. Gibbons was 2 for 4 and drove in runs in the first, second and fourth innings. He went a combined 5 for 9 with five RBIs in the Friday and Saturday games. He is 9
for 19 (.473) with seven RBIs in five games in Omaha. The Cowboys (43-22) threatened in the ninth against Kevin Ginkel, putting two runners on and one out. Arizona shortstop Louis Boyd made a diving stop on Jon Littell’s grounder and threw to first for the second out.

The tournament had been scheduled for July 7-10 at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, which was inundated with floodwaters after
heavy storms rolled into the state Thursday. Tour officials say the Old White TPC, the host course, suffered extensive damage and “is beyond reasonable repair to conduct the tournament.” PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said officials were heartbroken by the devastation in West Virginia and offered their thoughts and prayers.
“Canceling the Greenbrier Classic is certainly the most prudent course of action as our foremost concern is the wellbeing of those who are having to live through this tragic situation,” Finchem said. Greenbrier County claimed 15 of the 23 deaths attributed to the flooding. This is the first time a PGA Tour event has been washed out since the Viking Classic in
Madison, Mississippi, in 2009. Unplayable conditions also led to the cancellation of the 1996 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. More than 150 players had committed to playing the Greenbrier, which was set to follow the World Golf Championship-Bridgestone Invitational. The PGA Tour is at Congressional this weekend for Tiger Woods’ Quicken Loans
National. The Greenbrier was supposed to be the final chance to qualify for the British Open at Royal Troon on July 14-17, with one spot available to the highest finisher who was not already eligible. Andy Pazder, the tour’s chief of operations, said the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, which runs the British Please see CANCELS | 11A
Ko matches course record with 62, shares NW Arkansas lead Associated Press
ROGERS, Ark. — Lydia Ko is comfortable on most any golf course she steps onto these days. The top-ranked player feels exceptionally at home at Pinnacle Country Club in the LPGA Tour’s NW Arkansas Championship, and that comfort level has shown in her performances over the last few years. Ko continued her mastery of the 6,330-yard layout Saturday, matching the course record with a
9-under 62 to move into a tie for with Morgan Pressel at 14 under. Ko played the final eight holes in 7 under, making five birdies and the eagle. The New Zealander has shot under par in each of her 11 rounds over the last four years at Pinnacle, resulting in a fourth-place finish as an amateur in 2013 and then a second and sixth over the last two years. She has been at her best in the final rounds each year, including a 63 a year ago.
“I’ve played well here the last three years and have had really solid Sundays,” Ko said. “I love it here, and I really like the golf course.” Ko and Pressel were two shots ahead of Jing Yan, Candie Kung and Alena Sharp. Pressel appeared on her way to the lead on her own after shooting a 63, a round that included birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 to cap her lowest round in nine years at Pinnacle.
However, the 19-year-old Ko — the reining LPGA Tour Player of the Year — closed with a flourish. Ko made the turn at 7 under and was well off the early leaders when she missed the fairway with a poor drive on No. 10. She recovered to make par and followed with four straight birdies, capping her 7-under back nine with a 10foot putt for birdie on No. 17 and a 12-foot eagle putt on the 520-yard par-5 18th. “I love a par-5 finishing hole;
it can really make it exciting,” Ko said. “... I think it’s great for (the fans) to see a lot of birdies there.” Ko has two LPGA Tour victories this year, including the major ANA Inspiration, to push her career total to 12. The reining LPGA Tour Player of the Year has finished no lower than 23rd this year and had finished in the top 10 in eight of her 12 tournaments. Local favorite and former No. 1 Stacy Lewis was 5 under after a 70.

In women’s competition for EMCC, sophomore Katelyn Nicholson posted consistent times of 14.29, 14.28 and 14.21 seconds during the three preliminary rounds of barrel racing to qualify for Saturday’s short go. The Lawrence native struggled somewhat with a 19.88-second performance in the finals to place 12th overall in the event. While also competing in goat tying this past week in Wyoming, the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association’s 2015-16 Ozark Region AllAround women’s champion picked up 60 points at the CNFR to give head coach Morgan Goodrich’s EMCC women’s team a tie for 27th place in this year’s season-ending national rankings. Though not scoring at this year’s College National Finals Rodeo, Kossuth’s Kody Rinehart competed in the saddle bronc riding event for EMCC to give the Lions three CNFR competitors for the second straight year. “It was a great privilege to have been a part of the amazing experience that makes up the College
National Finals Rodeo,” Goodrich continued. “We’re extremely proud to be bringing home two national championship titles and a No. 5 national team finish.” Sandwiched between Feather River College’s first-place men’s team total of 1,000 points and EMCC’s 510 points for fifth-place team honors were Northwestern Oklahoma State University (800 points), Panhandle State University (787.5) and Weatherford College (525). Blue Mountain Community College captured women’s team honors with 595 points, followed by Missouri Valley College (420), Black Hills State University (362), Chadron State College (315), Gillette College (295) and Southwestern Oklahoma State University (295). The best action from the 2016 College National Finals Rodeo will be featured on ESPNU during two televised hours of recap coverage beginning at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18. Additional airings of the pair of onehour recap shows are also slated to be shown on ESPNU throughout the remainder of August.

Open, was deciding what to do with that spot. One possibility is to award it to the Barracuda Championship, to be played next week opposite the WGC-Bridgestone. At the Greenbrier, owner Jim Justice said the focus is on helping the people of West Vir-
ginia. “So many have lost loved ones, their homes, and have no place to go,” Justice said. “All of us are united with only one common goal: to help the people through this terrible time.” The Greenbrier Classic began in 2010. The PGA Tour is committed to holding the event through 2021.

Edwards takes pole for Sonoma road course race BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
SONOMA, Calif. — Carl Edwards edged AJ Allmendinger to earn the stop
starting spot Sunday on the road course race at Sonoma Raceway. Edwards ran a lap at 95.777 mph around the
10-turn, 1.99-mile track in qualifying Saturday to put his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in the top starting spot for the third time this season.

“Man this car is fast,” said Edwards, the winner at Sonoma in 2014. AJ Allmendinger qualified second with a lap at 95.676 mph in his JTG Daugherty Chevrolet. Allmendinger was last year’s pole winner and believed he had a shot at it again on Saturday. “When I saw Carl’s first lap, I was like, I don’t care what kind of lap I run, I’m never going to catch that,” Allmendinger said. “There’s no pressure on me. He’s won here before. We just have to go out and have a solid day.” Despite being one of the best road course racers in NASCAR, Allmendinger has just one victory — two years ago at Watkins Glen. A win Sunday would give him a berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Edwards thought he “narrowly got the pole” over Allmendinger, and doesn’t consider himself the sure favorite Sunday. “I think every guy that is starting this race, every guy and girl, is looking at themselves as a favorite,” he said. “This place is so tough and it’s been so tough for me that a win would be spectacular. I really think it’s

going to be a tough race. It’s going to be hot, it’s going to be difficult.” Martin Truex Jr. qualified third in a Toyota for Furniture Row Racing, while Kurt Busch was fourth for Stewart-Haas Racing. Kyle Larson completed the top five, as Chevy drivers took three of the top five spots. Denny Hamlin qualified sixth and was followed by Joey Logano, the highestqualifying Ford driver, defending race winner Kyle Busch and Paul Menard. Tony Stewart, Danica Patrick and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top 12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was fastest in Friday’s practice, but none of the Hendrick Motorsports drivers advanced into the second round of qualifying. Earnhardt will start 13th, Jimmie Johnson 15th, Chase Elliott 16th and Kasey Kahne 19th. Larson’s Dissapointment — Larson is looking for his first Sprint Cup Series win and would love for it to come at his home track on Sunday. He was fastest in the first practice session on Friday, so he wasn’t thrilled to wind up in the third row after qualifying. “It’s cool to be disappointed with a fifth,” Larson said. “I thought we would have a really good shot at getting a pole and we still had a shot. We will see how we race. Just have to keep the rear tires underneath me and make no mistakes and hopefully get a win.” Larson is 22nd in the Sprint Cup standings.
Lupton Debut — California native Dylan Lupton will make his Sprint Cup Series debut at Sonoma after qualifying 38th. Lupton ran in back-toback Xfinity Series races at Phoenix and Fontana earlier this season. He’s teamed with crew chief Mike Ford for his Cup debut, and Ford led Lupton to a ninth-place finish at Mid-Ohio last year. Lupton is a recent graduate from UNC-Charlotte, and has two NASCAR K&N Pro Series West wins at Sonoma. “This is such a blessing to make my Sprint Cup Series debut at Sonoma,” he said. “For the race, our goal is to see the checkered flag. If we can race the race track and stay on the track all day and have a little bit of luck, I think we have a shot at a top-25 finish. That would be huge for me. I’m just going to stay focused behind the wheel and do my job.” More Road Courses — NASCAR makes just two stops a year at road courses, and six-time champion Jimmie Johnson thinks that can be expanded. The series runs at Sonoma and then again at Watkins Glen in upstate New York in August. Everything else on the schedule is an oval. “It’s fun racing,” he said. “I really enjoy it. I wish we did more. To have two road course races a year, you just kind of get into the swing of things, and we leave the Glen and you put it on the shelf and wait eight months or something and then do it again.”
Hit King Rose joins Reds’ Hall of Fame in long-awaited moment BY JOE KAY Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Pete Rose joked about his hair and his age. He reminisced about all those wins with the Big Red Machine. There was one thing that the hits king was determined not to do when he was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds’ Hall of Fame. “I’ve already cried on the field one time,” Rose said on Saturday, referring to the time he got his record-setting hit. “That’s enough.” The 75-year-old Rose kept his composure during a pregame ceremony honoring him as the 86th player to go into the team’s hall. Many of his former Big Red Machine teammates — Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, among them — were on hand to join in the humor and the honor. Also, to say a few nice things about the Cincinnati native known as Charlie Hustle who became the face of baseball’s first professional team in so many ways, with his gritty play and, later, his lifetime ban for betting on Reds games. His ban prevents him from getting into Cooperstown, but the Reds got permission to honor him in their own way. “He’s the most dissatisfied person I’ve ever known,” Bench said. “Every day he was unhappy until he got four hits. He was never, ever happy with three hits. He wanted four. “The greatness of this man was that he was never satisfied.” Rose set baseball’s hits record with No. 4,192 at Riverfront Stadium in 1985 against the Padres, who also were the Reds’ opponent on Saturday. When he reached first base on his single, he wound up crying during a nine-minute ovation from the fans. As he was introduced at Great American Ball Park on Saturday, fans chanted, “Pete! Pete!” and gave him a one-minute ovation. When he got to the podium, Rose used a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He noted that
he was allotted only five minutes to talk, when he could spend days recounting what the fans meant to him. “I was hitting for you,” Rose said. “I was trying to score runs for you.” Rose joked that he’s attended Hall of Fame inductions, but this was the first time he’d been invited to one. He told the fans that it was the “biggest thing that’s ever happened to me in baseball.” Then he and Perez and Bench went onto the field. Perez threw a pitch from in front of the mound with Rose in the left-handed batter’s box and Bench behind the plate. The pitch was outside. Rose took it. And then he got another ovation. The start of the game was delayed by six minutes because the ceremony went long. Cincinnati natives Barry Larkin and Ron Oester also are in the team’s hall and recognized the specialness of being honored by the team they grew up admiring. “Anytime you’re honored by getting inducted into the hall of anything, I think it’s wonderful,” said Larkin, who was inducted at Cooperstown in 2012. “But being inducted into a hall of fame for your hometown team, it’s personal.” During a media availability that was streamed live on the Great American Ball Park videoboard and Major League Baseball’s website, Rose and his former teammates enjoyed the chance to trade barbs as well as compliments. Bench said that by adding Rose to the team’s Hall of Fame, “It’s kind of complete.” Rose wore a plaid shirt and a white Reds cap to the media availability and the on-field ceremony. He won’t get a red jacket like the ones that the other Reds Hall of Fame members wear until Sunday, when the Reds formally retire his No. 14 as well. “It took 30 years and the size has changed over the years,” Rose said. “But I’m getting a red coat. I’m looking forward to getting a red coat.”

Queen of Beale to headline Shiloh concert SHILOH, Tennessee — On Saturday evening, July 2, Shiloh National Military Park will present its third of five Concertsin-the-Park in commemoration of the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary. The five part concert series celebrates the various genres of music that encompass the American catalog, with one concert per month from May to September. The July 2 show is a free concert on the front lawn of the park’s Visitor Center and will feature New Orleans Jazz and Memphis Blues Music. “Our concerts in the park have featured outstanding entertainers, and we are pleased to continue that with this event,” said Superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “The 4th of July weekend is a time when we all will celebrate the founding of our great country, and what better way to do that than to listen to the music that was invented in America and spread throughout the world: Jazz and Blues. Shiloh National Military Park is delighted to present this free event to our visitors.” The show begins at 5:30 pm with the National
Park Service Centennial Band from New Orleans. Only in New Orleans could there be a National Park for jazz music, and the National Park Service Jazz Band is the official house band for the park. The Park provides a setting for sharing the cultural history of the people and places that helped to shape the development and progression of jazz in New Orleans, and National Park Service staff present information and resources associated with the origins and early development of jazz through interpretive techniques designed to educate and entertain. The group will perform a variety of styles of music that showcase jazz and its history. The NPS Centennial Band will be sure to “let the good times roll” when they perform at Shiloh National Military Park. Headlining the evening will be Ms. Ruby Wilson and her band. Ruby Wilson, who has come to be known as the “Queen of Beale Street,” was born in Texas. She moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and started her professional singing career when she was sixteen years old.
Ruby Wilson Fellow musician B.B. King is her godfather, and Wilson has been one of the house staples at B.B. King’s Blues Club in Memphis. She has been honored with the Memphis sound Award for Best Entertain-
er, the Authentic Beale Street Musician Award, and a Supporter’s Award from the St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Wilson has also been inducted into the African American Hall of Fame and is a member of the MemphisShelby County Film &
Tape Commission. The concert is free of charge and the public is invited to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and picnic baskets. A Junior Park Ranger booth will be set up for kids of all ages starting at noon. The “Friends of Shiloh” organization will also be on hand selling bottled water, sports drinks, and snacks to raise money for the Friends projects at Shiloh. Ranger led programs and tours will be offered during the day. For more information on this and other events at Shiloh, go to www.nps. gov/shil or call the Visitor Center at 731 689-5696. Wilson has recorded more than ten albums and has performed with renowned artists including B.B. King, Isaac Hayes, and Ray Charles. She has had roles in several movies, including The Chamber, The People vs. Larry Flynt, Cookie’s Fortune, and Black Snake Moan, and her music was included in some of their soundtracks. She was also one of the blues musicians included in the documentary film Delta Rising, alongside Willie Nelson, Chris Cotton, and Morgan Free-
man. She has performed at the White House, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and many other prominent venues around the globe. She has been honored with the Memphis sound Award for Best Entertainer, the Authentic Beale Street Musician Award, and a Supporter’s Award from the St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

Annual Washington youth trip offers valuable experience Every June since the late 1950s, almost 50,000 rising high school seniors across America have had the opportunity to participate in the annual National R u r a l Electric Stacy CooperaJones tive Association The Y o u t h Dowtowner Tour of Washington, D.C. The tour teaches students about U.S. history, government and the importance of public service. Students compete for the opportunity by writing a creative story that incorporates the history and/or future of rural cooperative power as part of its theme. For the second time in my tenure as a teacher, I was fortunate enough to be the teacher in my county to accompany five students and two electric cooperative employees from our area. On Friday, June 9 at 6:30 in the morning, a
bus full of eager, sleepy students, cooperative employees, and teachers departed Nashville, bound for Staunton, Virginia. The first two days are the longest part of the trip. The coordinators of the trip arranged for some introductory activities along the way so that participants from across Tennessee could get to know each other better. Saturday morning, our group visited Monticello, home to our third president, considered at the time as “America’s greatest thinker.” Thomas Jefferson, a lover of science, books, gardening, and travel, was a walking paradox, a man who wrote in the Declaration that “all men are created equal,” yet held slaves, even sired children by them, and struggled with the question of slavery itself. Jefferson’s home, an Italian Renaissance beauty with its octagonal dome, is just as complex and interesting as the innovative Renaissance man who designed it and lived there.
Thomas Jefferson, a lover of science, books, gardening, and travel, was a walking paradox, a man who wrote in the Declaration that “all men are created equal,” yet held slaves, even sired children by them, and struggled with the question of slavery itself. Saturday afternoon our group arrived in Alexandria, Virginia. After briefly settling into the hotel, we headed to the Capitol and then on to some of the nation’s memorials, including the Presidential memorials for Jefferson and Lincoln, the war memorials for Vietnam and Korea, and the memorial for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Every day was, in fact, packed to the hilt with activities, which was fortunate because a visitor could spend a month in Washington, D.C., exploring the city’s treasures and still not see everything to see there. The myriad highlights included a visit to Arlington Cemetery, where we saw the somber chang-
ing of the guard and a wreath-laying accompanied by poignant pomp and circumstance; a triple-decker boat cruise on the Potomac at sunset; a visit to the sobering Holocaust Museum; a stop at President George Washington’s former home, Mt. Vernon; a tour of the beautiful, ornate Washington National Cathedral—which took artisans 90 years to construct; and a day at the Smithsonian—or the “Smithsonians,” I should say, as there are 19 separate museums and galleries. I made a return visit to the American History museum to see the recreation of Julia Child’s kitchen and a couple of other pop culture items, including Archie Bunker’s
famous chair; ate a buffalo burger for lunch in the American Indian Museum; saw our nation’s original historical documents at the National Archives, including the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Emancipation Proclamation; and visited the Air and Space Museum to take a look at the American fascination with getting our feet off the ground. The last day in D.C., we dressed in business attire and visited the Capitol, where we met with representatives and senators. It is exciting to stand on the Capitol steps, and then tour the building where the laws for our nation are made. During our visit, Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan walked hurriedly past our group, an entourage of what I guessed to be Secret Service agents flanking him. After visiting the Capitol Building, I explored the Library of Congress, a maze of underground tunnels linking the various buildings that form our vast national library.
Although I was exhausted from activity and lack of sleep, I was, like many of the students, not ready to return home— even though we had to be on the bus at 4:00 a.m. the morning we left, ready to board a plane at 5:30. A week gives only a hint what D.C. has to offer. Such a trip is an important educational opportunity for young people in our state and nation. Even in such a short visit, there is the chance to learn hands-on almost as might be learned in an entire semester from a textbook in the traditional classroom environment—if one truly pays attention. And, of course, the emotional impact of experiencing our nation’s history firsthand is something that cannot be obtained in any other way.

New book a humorous look at rural life in America nowadays BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez
“Dear County Agent Guy” by Jerry Nelson c.2016, Workman Publishing $14.95 / $22.95 Canada 210 pages The rain – or lack thereof – just about destroyed your plants a year or three ago. Seems the weather’s always wrong, prices are lower than they need to be, and there’s always a hole in some fence somewhere. Still, you’d never have it any other way, so read “ Dear County Agent Guy” by Jerry Nelson. You might as well laugh, right? More than three generations ago, when Jerry Nelson’s great-grandparents began farming on “the open prairies of eastern South Dakota ,” they had no idea that they were leaving a legacy. From them, Nelson inherited a love of the land, a career, a ramshackle ancestral cottage and, presumably, a good sense of humor.
I laughed out loud more than once at this book, and I think you’ll like it, too – especially if you understand its very title. For you, then, grab “Dear County Agent Guy” and plant yourself down. For a few years after high school, Nelson farmed near the old homestead and eventually co-farmed with his father. That was after he decided that life would be better with a little “female companionship,” and he took a wife. The two sons that came afterward were a nice complement to the wife thing, although having them wasn’t like getting a new calf. With sons, there was a hospital involved and a lot of huffing and puffing. Having been through all this birthing stuff before, Nelson kindly offered his calf-puller, noting that having a baby was easy for a cow so why was it such a big deal to his wife’s mid-
wife? Kidding aside, though, a farm is a great place to raise a family. Nelson’s great-grandparents did it. His grandparents raised their children on a farm, as did his parents and that’s where Nelson’s boys grew up. It’s where the old family cabin moldered until it fell apart, and where Nelson found a letter from his father, dated long before Nelson was born. It’s where silage doesn’t taste very good (but the cows sure love it); where a man with a pickup is everybody’s friend; and where favorite foods are served, even if one’s wife must hold her nose. The farm is where pastures hold memories of
times spent with Dad. It’s where lessons are learned that stick with a boy long after he becomes a man. It’s where cows are pets, snow is no excuse to stay home, and where lives change because accidents happen… Maybe it’s just me, but I could swear I smelled fresh country air while reading “Dear County Agent Guy.” Yep, this book reminded me of warm spring afternoons, when you’re driving on a dirt road and you stop to jaw a minute with a neighbor on a dusty tractor. It’s like finally finding that newborn calf in the woods – and it’s a heifer! There are loving-the-farm moments, wrapped inside hating-the-losses chapters. And yes, there are times when reading this book is like watching someone pratfall in a fresh cow-pat, because author Jerry Nelson sprinkles good-natured, genuine humor all over his essays here. I laughed out loud more than once at this book, and
I think you’ll like it, too – especially if you understand its very title. For you,
then, grab “Dear County Agent Guy” and plant yourself down.
