Taxi driver murder probe continues

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Who killed Cleo Henderson?

Investigators with the Corinth Police Department are leaving no stone unturned in tracking down the person responsible for the murder of the longtime cab driver.

Henderson, 66, was found shot about 2:39 a.m. outside of Liberty Cab Service in down-

town Corinth on May 25. Henderson had been a taxi cab driver for the company for over 40 years.

Henderson’s murder is the fourth in the city since Feb. 13.

“We are still plugging away at it,” said Detective Capt. Ralph Dance. “Every bit of information we get, we follow up on … it has been a case of chasing down dead ends.”

Investigators with the Corinth Police Department believe robbery was the motive in the case.

The taxi cab driver was discovered by Liberty Cab Service – owned by James David Willis – employee Billy Burress outside of the Taylor Street business after failing to hear from Henderson for over an hour.

A reward for information

leading to the arrest and conviction in the murder of Henderson has grown over the past month. Currently, the reward stands at $5,425.

Henderson’s daughter, Melody Patterson, believes someone out there has information about who killed her father.

Nash opposes transfers

Forecast clear for Jacinto Festival

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn School District board member Russ Nash was the lone voter who opposed six student transfers at this week’s school board meeting.

For the last two months, Nash has voted not to allow more than two dozen students to be released from the Alcorn School District for transfer to other school districts including the Corinth School District.

The district receives $5,600 from the Mississippi Department of Education per enrolled student, per school year.

“We’re losing money every time it happens.” Nash said after a recent board meeting.

The six students were approved for release by a 3-1 vote.

Two students will transfer to the Corinth School District, while four students will transfer to the North Tippah School District.

One other student was unanimously approved for an indistrict transfer from Kossuth High School to Biggersville High School.

The National Weather Service in Memphis is forecasting a high temperature of 83 for the Corinth area on Friday, making for a less sweaty festival than normal.

“I think it’s going to be a great day to start the weekend,” said festival organizer Beth Whitehurst. “It’s a family-oriented festival where you can bring the kids. There’s a little something for everybody.”

Despite an off political season, a solid lineup of 26 vendors are set to fill the grounds of the old courthouse, a historic landmark of old Tishomingo County.

“We are going to have a petting zoo and pony rides,” said Whitehurst. “We had one years ago, and this is a different one that we are excited to have coming to the festival.”

The likes of funnel cakes, corn dogs and fried pies will be among the food offerings.

The festival opens at 9 a.m.

Deadline today to enter Miss Slugburger Festival pageant

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

In the 27th year of the annual Slugburger Festival event organizers will finally crown a Miss Slugburger.

Main Street Corinth and Corinth Theatre-Arts are teaming up to host the Miss Slugburger Festival pageant set for 10 a.m. on Saturday, July 12.

Deadline to register is today by 5 p.m.

“We were trying to figure out what events we could

add to the festival to try to give folks something else to do on Saturday,” said Main Street board member Jennifer Timbes. “We all agreed hosting a pageant and having a Miss Slugburger would be perfect.”

Timbes said because the festival’s main stage will be setup for the World Championship Slugburger Eating contest later that day, the pageant will take place at the CT-A. “We’ve had a lot of really

Kossuth students help hold primary election

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Among the many local residents who helped hold the June 3 primary election were two who are not yet old enough to vote.

Sisters Allison and Ashley McDaniel got an in-the-field civics lesson as part of a program that allows students to participate in the election process. Heading into their junior year at Kossuth High School, they worked at the Bethel precinct.

Mike Stewart, the county Republican chairman, hopes stu-

dent participation will increase.

“I want the children to learn what this country is about,” he said. “I would love to see 10 or 20 kids every election do this.”

Under a state law passed in 2002, each precinct can have up to two students working as poll worker interns.

The McDaniel sisters spent a long day learning about how elections are held. They arrived at the polling place with their mother, Jennilyn, a Bethel poll worker, before 6 a.m. and left when the work was done at 7:30 p.m.

Tax revenues grow strongly for third straight year The Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi tax collections continued growing strongly in the just-concluded budget year, posting another year of 5 percent growth and ensuring that money will be available to help improve local roads and bridges.

State Department of Revenue figures show general fund tax receipts grew to a record $5.25 billion in the 2014 budget year, which ended Monday.

Lawmakers raised expectations in March, but revenue kept growing

and ended up at least $32 million above the revised number.

That extra money means Mississippi will be able grant $32 million in aid for local roads and bridges that House members fought for on the 2014 session’s closing night. Upset about $40 million in special projects targeted to home areas of Senate leaders, the House initially balked at approving a transportation budget. In the end, the House and Senate agreed to spend more to help local roads and bridges if tax collections allowed.

“We’ll do so much good with this,� House Transportation Committee Chairman Robert Johnson, D-Natchez, said Tuesday.

He said he hoped it would build support for further increases in transportation spending: “Maybe they’ll understand how critical the need is in the state.�

General fund revenue is now 20 percent higher than in fiscal 2010, when receipts touched a low of $4.37 billion after a twoyear slide during the recession.

Mississippi’s govern-

ment spends much more than $5 billion a year, plus billions in federal aid and taxes and fees earmarked to particular agencies. In the 2015 budget year, which started Tuesday, the state plans to spend $20 billion from all sources, including $8.9 billion in federal money and $5 billion in other state revenue.

Both House and Senate leaders crowed that the 2015 budget spends very little non-recurring revenue on recurring expenses. “State government is finally doing what taxpay-

ers do every day in their homes and businesses: spending what it takes in, prioritizing needs and saving money for a rainy day,� Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said in a statement.

The strong budget year also filled Mississippi’s rainy day fund to its $409 million legal limit.

Lawmakers put an additional $72 million into the Mississippi Adequate Education Program — the state’s public school funding formula — in the 2014 session, but most money went to cover a pay raise for teachers. The formula remained $257 million

short of full funding.

House Appropriations Committee Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, said some new revenue will be needed next year to cover the second year of the teacher pay increase, as well as other commitments. But if revenue again rises, lawmakers could have a substantial amount to spend or grant tax cuts during an election year. “If we have 4 or 5 percent, we’ll be able to do some things,� Frierson said Tuesday. “We’ll find out how people really feel about MAEP.�

Suit filed over poll book access Dozens of new laws take effect The Associated Press

JACKSON — Thirteen Mississippi residents and a Texas group, True the Vote, are suing over access to poll books from the Republican primary runoff between Sen. Thad Cochran and challenger Chris McDaniel.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court

in Oxford against Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann and the Mississippi Republican Party.

It seeks to compel Hosemann and the GOP to release poll books without redacting voters’ birthdates.

Plaintiffs say they want to examine poll books for people marked as voting

in the June 3 Democratic primary and the June 24 Republican runoff. State law prohibits such crossover voting. It’s part of a process of McDaniel deciding whether to appeal his loss to Cochran.

Hosemann says his office does not possess poll books or have authority to publicly release them.

Attorney sentenced in fraud case Associated Press

GULFPORT — Biloxi attorney Stephen Richard Colson has been sentenced to five years in prison for his role in defrauding two banks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Sul Ozerden also ordered Colson, 48, to pay restitution of $8 million and serve three years of post-release supervision.

The Sun Herald reports Colson pleaded guilty in March to falsifying, concealing and covering up material facts in his business and legal dealings.

Federal prosecutors said Colson was a settlement agent and closing attorney. He also owned Prestige Title Inc. and Ad-

vanced Title and Escrow, both headquartered in Biloxi, with 18 office locations in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas.

These companies handled loan closings for new mortgages and the refinancing of existing mortgages.

In addition, Colson served as escrow agent for several condominium developments on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As settlement agent on loan closings, Colson was required to establish trust accounts from which to disburse funds exclusively for activities related to each individual loan.

These trust funds were not to be commingled with other personal or

JACINTO

business accounts.

An indictment alleged Colson diverted funds from trust accounts for his own personal use and concealed shortfalls in those accounts by comingling funds from other accounts when making payments to financial institutions.

Federal prosecutors said the count to which Colson pleaded guilty was part of a larger scheme wherein Colson, through his title businesses, used funds generated in new real estate closings to pay off earlier closings. The larger scheme was discovered following the acquisition of a title insurance company for which Colson served as agent, by a successor company.

The Associated Press

JACKSON — New Mississippi laws provide pay raises for teachers, require closer monitoring for concussions in school sports and attempt to limit the cost of obtaining public records.

Dozens of new laws took effect Tuesday, including a comprehensive measure designed to make the criminal justice system more efficient and less expensive.

One new law bans abortions at 20 weeks, the midpoint of a fullterm pregnancy. There are exceptions for severe fetal abnormality or if the woman faces death or permanent injury because of the pregnancy.

The 20-week ban won’t affect the state’s only abortion clinic, which says it stops at 16 weeks.

State Health Department statistics show abortions after 20 weeks are rare.

Another new law, the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act, adds “In God We Trust� to the state seal and says government can’t put a substantial burden on religious practices — a measure that has already sparked protests from opponents who believe it could al-

low state-sanctioned discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Republican Gov. Phil Bryant said a U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday demonstrates that Mississippi is correct setting its own law that mirrors the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority in a 5-4 ruling, said forcing companies to pay for types of contraception to which they object violates the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. “Mississippi’s RFRA statute, which takes effect July 1, is nearly identical to the federal law, and I hope the court’s opinion proves to detractors of Mississippi’s law that claims of discrimination are baseless,�

Bryant said in a statement praising the ruling.

Mississippi becomes the 19th state to enact its own Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Mississippi had the second-lowest teacher pay in the nation in 2013 at $41,994. The pay raise law gives a $1,500 increase during the budget year that starts Tuesday and a $1,000 increase in the budget year that

starts July 1, 2015. Merit pay raises become available in the 2016-17 school year for teachers in districts with high academic performance.

A welfare drug-testing law that was supposed to take effect Tuesday has been delayed. It says who applies for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families will have to answer a questionnaire, and if the answers show the possibility of substance abuse, the person will have to take a drug test.

Anyone testing positive would have to receive treatment to receive cash assistance. If the person tests positive for drugs after receiving treatment, the assistance would end.

The state Department of Human Services last week agreed to a request by the American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi and the Mississippi Center for Justice to delay implementation of the drug-testing law, to allow for a period of public comment required by state administrative procedures. DHS will hold a July 22 hearing in Jackson to gather more comments, and the agency is not yet saying when the law will be in effect.

PRIMARY “The winner of each category will receive a special pageant crown with green jewels that represent the slug,� added Timbes. “Winners will also get to ride in this year’s Main Street Corinth Christmas Parade.�

Entry fees are $30 per person and $10 for most photogenic.

“It has been about eight years since we have had any students doing this,� said Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell.

He plans to spread the word of the program as he goes into the schools to register senior students to vote, as he does each year. “I feel like if you can get five or 10, you’ve accomplished something,� he said.

Participating students must be at least 16 years and have the recommendation of a school official.

They also have to participate in training beforehand.

The work they perform cannot include tallying votes, bailiff duties, operation and maintenance of voting equipment, any duties related to affidavit ballots, or determining the qualifications of a voter when a voter is challenged.

While it was a long day for the two sisters, the light ballot meant it wasn’t too hectic at the polls — the small Bethel precinct had a turnout of 24 out of its 126 registered voters.

Disabilities don’t stop man’s love of life

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

A teenager that likes to draw, fish and watch “Duck Dynasty” is not that unusual in McNairy County. But one resident of Selmer does not do that with the ease of most everyone else because of his health.

The young man was born with Down’s Syndrome, had a congenital heart defect at birth, underwent three heart surgeries by the time he was four and had a leg amputated after the third surgery.

Gabriel Sharpe’s health took another downturn when he suffered three strokes between the ages

Gabriel Sharpe poses with his nephew Jesse Blohm. of 10 and 11. The strokes caused him to loss the use of one arm.

His poor health would cause most people to be bitter. If you have met

him, you know that is not the case. Gabriel, 19, is the son of Ralph & Dian Sharpe.

He rarely gets to attend church with his family at

Chewalla Baptist, but has been a few times. The lack of mobility makes it hard for him to get out of his house.

“We do not think of him as different from us,” said his sister Daina Blohm.

“He is hilarious and is always saying something funny.”

While he has trouble talking because of his health problems, the ever creative Sharpe found a way to communicate with his family.

“He made up his own language and we have learned what he is saying to us,” commented Blohm.

His sister said the family talks to him about

Jesus and he has a book with Bible stories that are read to him.

Gabriel was excited on his second trip to CBC because he just knew Jesus would be preaching. He was a bit letdown when he found out Chewalla pastor Bro. Richard Doyle was preaching, joked his sister.

“He loves hearing about church and Christian music,” said Daina. “He really likes when we bring a DVD of the church service.”

Gabriel is selfless and is a happy man that loves everyone. He may not walk or talk well, but his positive message in life is clearly understood by everyone.

Is hell real or just a figment of the imagination? The doctrine of hell has become so unpopular that many have eliminated it from their teaching. How long has it been since you heard a sermon on hell? The word hell comes from the Greek word GEHENNA, which appears twelve times in the New Testament. It is used eleven times by Jesus and once by James.

There are many good reasons for believing in hell. All nations believe in it, heaven suggests it, justice demands it and the Bible teaches it. Why are we warned of the judgment if it does not exist. “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Heb 9:27). Why did the rich man want Lazarus to warn his brothers if hell is not real?

“Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment” (Luke 16:27-28). The universal law of sowing and reaping suggests that hell is real. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Gal 6:7-8).

The population of hell will be larger than the population of heaven. “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matt 7:13-14). The Devil and his angels will be part of the population of hell. “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt 25:4I).

The punishment of the wicked and the reward of the righteous will be everlasting. “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (Matt 25:46).

The only time that we have to prepare for eternity is while we are living here on earth. “And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence” (Luke 16:26). Are we prepared for heaven or hell?

Corinth, Miss.

Our arrogant president President Obama appears to have forgotten -- or ignored -- why we have elections.

One reason is to stop, or slow down, an agenda the public doesn’t like.

When polls began reflectCal ing buyer’s remorse about Mr. Thomas Obama in 2010, voters elected a Republican majority in the Columnist House of Representatives and might well have done the same in the Senate in 2012 were it not for some weak GOP candidates, especially in Nevada and Delaware.

President Obama acts as if elections other than his own don’t matter. His attitude seems to be, “I have the power and the rest of government be damned.” In another speech last week in Minneapolis, the president said of House Republicans, “They don’t do anything except block me and call me names.” Actually, Republicans have passed scores of bills, virtually all of which have died in the Senate, because Majority Leader Harry Reid refuses to bring them up for a vote, much less debate.

It is Reid who is the real obstructionist.

Speaker John Boehner is threatening to file a lawsuit against the president for using his executive powers to bypass Congress. Critics, notably Neil Cavuto of Fox News, have accused the Republicans of engaging in a “stunt” that has no chance of succeeding.

Cavuto may be right, but not all stunts, if that’s what this is, are without merit. While the courts might rule that Boehner lacks legal standing to sue the president, the lawsuit could serve as a teachable moment for the public, which polls show increasingly distrusts this president.

Here’s what a real stunt looks like. While in Minneapolis, President Obama met with two people he said had written him about their economic struggles. He ate a hamburger with a woman who said she is having difficulty paying her bills. Maybe the president picked up the check, helping her out with one meal. Other than that, how did he improve the woman’s circumstances? Cutting taxes, lowering government spending and reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy would improve the economy so that the struggling woman -- and many like her -- might be able to find a better job with higher pay, or secure a raise in the job she already has.

This president believes in his policies even when they are not working.

As the late Pete Seeger sang about Lyndon Johnson and the Vietnam War, so it might also be said of President Obama and his administration: “We were knee deep in the Big Muddy, and the big fool said to push on.”

The list of policy failures, corruption and probable misdeeds is long and growing longer. The website White House Dossier lists two dozen scandals linked to the Obama administration and while all might not rise to the level we have come to associate with legitimate political malfeasance, the list is an indictment of a president who sold himself as being nobler than ordinary politicians, not to mention most Americans.

The list of Obama’s broken promises is longer than his failures. Some have been compiled on Politifact.com.

The definitions of “arrogance” from dictionary.com accurately describe the president’s attitude: “1. Offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.

2. Having or showing an exaggerated opinion of one’s own importance, merit, ability, etc; conceited...”

Synonyms also apply: “presumptuous, haughty, imperious, brazen, proud.”

If this fall’s election gives Republicans a Senate majority, as seems likely, will the president’s arrogant behavior change? Not likely. Humility is not a trait found in Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.”

Prayer for today Lord, forbid that I should overcast my life with intentions, and neglect to put in the deeds. May I not be satisfied to spend my days in being merely occupied, but live to learn and work. May I not be dismayed over what I might have been, but with all my might do what I can now. Amen.

A verse to share “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:11-13

Online gaming: More bad news for state casinos STARKVILLE — With Mississippi’s gaming revenues declining – particularly in the Tunica/Mississippi River markets – the potential national impact of online gaming is a particularly relevant topic of public policy debate.

In June, the Mississippi Gaming Commission reported numbers showing that in 22 of the last 24 months, casinos have won less money from gamblers compared to the same month of the previous year.

In figures showing May 2014 compared with May 2013, casinos took in some $20 million less statewide or 10.6 percent less in 2014.

The June closure of Harrah’s in the Tunica market underscores the loss of both gaming revenue and jobs as increased competition from two Arkansas racetracks have been blamed for straining the market. But Mississippi isn’t alone in seeing gaming revenues dip. Louisiana gaming revenues have flat.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast gaming market has been stronger than the river market, but competition from Alabama Native American gaming outlets have had an impact, analysts suggest.

But one aspect of gaming in which there is less

known about competitive impact in Mississippi is online gaming. Mississippi, as of Sid Salter the 2014 sesColumnist sion of the Mississippi Legislature, is now officially studying online gaming.

Mississippi House Gaming Committee Chairman Richard Bennett commissioned the task force, which will look at how online gaming is working in the small number of states that have made it legal. Bennett tapped Mississippi Gaming Commission executive director Allen Godfrey as chairman of the eightmember task force.

The task force idea came after state Rep. Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, introduced online gaming legislation each year for the past three years. Moak’s legislation – virtually the same legislation – died in committee all three years.

The bills proposed to regulate, license and tax online gaming at 5 percent of gross revenues. The bills would have restricted online gaming licenses to those companies already holding land licenses to operate in the state.

Moak wrote the legisla-

tion in reaction to a 2011 U.S. Justice Department ruling which clarified that the ban on interstate betting in the Wire Act of 1961 applied only to a “sporting event or contest” and that all other gambling operations are outside the purview of the act.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the DOJ decision opened the door to any form of online gaming over the provided it isn’t the socalled “sports book.”

Under the ruling, states can sell lottery tickets online and authorize online poker, roulette, blackjack and other casino games, as long as the actual betting takes place within a respective state’s boundaries, even if out-of-state credit cards are used to finance the gambling.

Moak argued that the legislation was necessary to allow Mississippi’s existing gaming industry to have more control of its own destiny and to allow the state to regulate what will already be taking place online and to tax it as other competing states are doing.

Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey became the first three states to legalize online gaming – an action that came with the promise of millions in new tax revenue

for those states.

In New Jersey, initial estimates of the revenue “take” from online gaming was $180 million, which was downgraded to $160 million by the time the law was actually implemented. But the reality in New Jersey has been revenue of only $9.3 million. In Delaware, online gaming has made $0 in net revenue gain to the state, while Nevada produced only $700,000 in online gaming revenue.

The Pew Center reported this week that as a result of the experience in those three states, Morgan Stanley has “chopped its market projection for the U.S. online gaming industry by 30 percent, from $5 billion to $3.5 billion by 2017, ‘to better reflect the insights we have gained following the first few months of operations’ in Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey.

Despite the initial revenue disappointments in those three states, a Mississippi gaming industry already struggling with competition in the border states can ill afford to give other out-ofstate competitors too big a head start in at least putting a regulatory system in place for online gaming.

The Friendship Oak and other legends LONG BEACH — They say that this tree with massive, ground-dragging limbs is 500 years old or older, and, as some brochure writer romantically put it, “... was a sapling when Christopher Columbus sailed the Caribbean.”

ries involved that beautiful water and the homecoming of a baby.

Rheta Katrina Johnson devastated much of the Columnist college campus around the giant live oak, but the tree stood and stands. Actually, it props itself up like an old woman, using those octopus-like limbs as crutches. Unlike so many of the buildings, this oak was designed to wink at storms.

We laugh for no reason as our likenesses are struck, smiling faces in a tangle of live oak.

From the campus, we head to the beach because, for both of us, it beckons.

I love sea lore. I love the

odd piece of wood that eddies up to the shoreline and wears its barnacle bracelet.

I love the fishing lure that comes back from the deep, business finished, to the shore again. I like the idea that you can wade into the Mississippi Sound and feel a pulse.

My sister, landlocked for many decades now in Kentucky, remembers it all, too.

“Oh, that wonderful smell,” she says, and I know what she means. Standing there, we suddenly are smaller, insignificant. But so are our problems.

“We do not like to awaken far from the fringe of the sea ...,” wrote the poet A.L. Hendriks.

Yet most days we do. The sea is our savings account of inspiration and well-being, and we draw from it only on special occasions. It accrues

I envy and admire those who finagle a way to make a living on the sea or by the sea. I trust they never take for granted the smells or the view or the flotsam. If they do, their permanent status should be revoked.

We eat in a little raised restaurant at the shrimp boat harbor, a lot like having a salad in a garden. The tables are moist with the salt air that comes through the open windows. The boats in the harbor rock like babies in cradles, and lines slap the masts and make music.

I want to put down deep roots, like the oak that sponsors friendship.

US condemns death of Palestinian teen WASHINGTON — The White House says the death of a Palestinian teenager is a “heinous murder� and is calling on the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

In a series of posts on Twitter, National Security Adviser Susan Rice says the U.S. is paying close attention to the investigation into the death of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir.

She also said the U.S. sends condolences to his family and the Palestinian people.

The Palestinian president has accused Israeli extremists of killing the teen. His body was found in a Jerusalem forest, raising fears that he was killed as revenge for the recent killings of three Israeli teens in the West Bank.

NIH grows mystery disease program WASHINGTON — The government is expanding its “mystery disease� program, funding a network at six universities to help diagnose patients’ super-rare diseases.

The National Institutes of Health has evaluated hundreds of these cold-case patients in its campus research hospital as part of a pilot program since 2008. Demand is so great, there’s a waiting list.

So on Tuesday, the agency announced the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Network, a four-year, $43 million initiative to bring more doctor-detectives on board. The goal is to at least put a name to more patients’ puzzling symptoms, and then eventually find treatments.

‘McHale’s Navy’ star Hastings dies LOS ANGELES — An actor best known from the 1960s sitcom “McHale’s Navy,� has died. Bob Hastings was 89.

Allison Knowles says her grandfather died Monday in his Burbank, California, home after a lengthy battle with prostate cancer.

Hastings won fans on “McHale’s Navy� as Lt.

Carpenter, a bumbling yes-man. Other memorable roles were on “All in the Family� and “General Hospital.�

The Brooklyn, New York-born Hastings began his career at age 11 on radio dramas. He branched out into TV in its infancy, snagging a role on “Captain Video and His Video Rangers� in 1949.

Other early acting jobs included a recurring role on the military comedy “The Phil Silvers Show.�

East Coast eyes storm before 4th CHARLESTON, S.C. — Along much of the East Coast, hotel owners, tourism officials and would-be vacationers kept a watchful eye on forecasts Wednesday as Tropical Storm Arthur churned off Florida, threatening Fourth of July plans for thousands of people.

A tropical storm warning was issued for the North Carolina coast as the first named storm of the season was expected to strengthen to a hurricane and skim the Outer Banks, a 200-mile string of narrow barrier islands prone to flooding but popular for beachgoers, as a Category 1 hurricane Friday.

But plenty of people planned to continue their trips or ride out the storm. Nancy Janitz, 60, of Jacksonville was watching Arthur’s progress closely. “I have my NOAA radio, and I keep tabs on Twitter and Facebook for updates,� she said. “I’m as prepared as I can possibly be.�

Dog escapes from kennel at airport LOS ANGELES — Officials say a dog chewed its way out of a cargo kennel at Los Angeles International Airport, ran across two runways and briefly delayed two flights before it was captured.

Airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles tells the Los Angeles Times the large brown boxer made its escape while it was being loaded on a flight to Paris.

Castles says the dog bolted across two north runways before being captured by airport per-

sonnel in a ditch near LAX’s north perimeter fence.

Scientists retract stem cell claims NEW YORK — Scientists who reported in January that they’d found a startlingly simple way to make stem cells have withdrawn that claim, following accusations of falsified data.

In two papers published earlier this year in the journal Nature, the researchers reported that they’d been able to transform ordinary mouse cells into versatile stem cells by exposing them to a mildly acidic environment. Scientists hope to harness stem cells to grow replacement tissue for treating a variety of diseases.

But not long after, a government-funded institution in Japan accused one of their scientists — a main author of the research — of falsifying data.

On Wednesday, Nature released a statement from the scientists. They acknowledged “extensive� errors and said they couldn’t say “without a doubt� that their method works.

Cousteau finishes undersea lab work ISLAMORADA, Fla. — After 31 days undersea, Fabien Cousteau stepped off a boat wearing flip-flops and a beach towel wrapped around his waist, saying he was torn about leaving his underwater home, but he missed his family and friends.

Cousteau and his team of filmmakers and scientists dove June 1 to Aquarius to study the effects of climate change and pollution on a nearby coral reef.

The crew started decompression Tuesday afternoon inside Aquarius Reef Base, 63 feet below the ocean’s surface off Islamorada in the Florida Keys.

Because they’ve spent so much time underwater, Cousteau and his “Mission 31� crew needed to undergo roughly 16 hours of decompression inside the school bus-sized lab so that they could return to the surface without suffering the bends.

Superintendent pool narrowed down to 2 COLUMBUS — The Columbus Municipal School Board has selected two finalists for its superintendent’s position.

The school district, which serves more than 4,500 children, has been without a permanent superintendent since Martha Liddell was fired by the school board a year ago. The board appointed Edna McGill as interim superintendent following Liddell’s exit.

WCBI-TV in Columbus reports McGill is not one of the finalists announced Tuesday.

The finalists are David Fonseca, currently the assistant superintendent in Boone, North Carolina; and Phillip Hickman, who is the area assistant superintendent in Houston, Texas.

Hattiesburg schools eye extra $100,000 HATTIESBURG — Hattiesburg Public School District will ask for $100,000 to help balance its budget for 2014-15.

The Hattiesburg American reports the district’s chief financial officer, Terry Stennis, told school board members he couldn’t say whether that request would raise the taxes for all property owners because the city, not the school district, sets tax levels.

Stennis said the additional money would come from taxes assessed on new property in the city. “The assessed value for new property was $7.5 million last year. The $100,000, we think, is adequate,� Stennis said.

The district’s proposed budget for 2014-15 is about $57 million. It has 800 employees and 4,600 students.

Beavers also were suspect in flooding problems in the Maywood area years earlier when a flash flood was thought to have prompted a beaver dam to break. “There’s so many of them,� said Alderman Gil Earhart, whose ward includes Maywood, where the homeowners’ association pays to trap beavers in the area’s lakes. “We’re not going to get rid of them.�

While private property owners must deal with beavers on their own, the city can act on publicly owned property or in ways that foster the public good.

7 plead not guilty in stolen guns case GULFPORT — Five men and two women have pleaded not guilty to federal charges they stole 48 firearms, including machine guns, and tried to sell them.

Princeton Knox, 34; Kenneth Knox, 46; Katina Towne Henderson, 42; Jessica Romero, 25; LaKeith Smith, 20; Theodore Dempsey Towne, 20; and Aubrey Knox, 35, all of Gautier, each waived a reading of the indictment in court Tuesday before entering a not guilty plea.

An indictment alleges they stole firearms from a licensed federal firearms dealer, received stolen firearms and unlawful transferred or possessed of a machine gun.

Prosecutors said 48 weapons, including 11 machine guns, were stolen during a May robbery of the Moss Point home of a federal gun dealer.

At the time of the defendant’s initial appearance in court on June 4, 12 weapons had been recovered, including four

machine guns.

2 sentenced in child exploitation case PURVIS — State Attorney General Jim Hood says two Lamar County men are going to prison after pleading guilty to one count of child exploitation.

The Hattiesburg American reports 31-yearold Hunter Richardson Howell, of Hattiesburg, and 29-year-old Robert Shawn Sumrall, of Purvis, each pleaded guilty to one count of child exploitation before special circuit Judge William E. Andrews III, in Lamar County on Monday.

Hood said each defendant was sentenced to a term of 10 years with five years to serve, five suspended and five years post release supervision.

Ocean Springs plans seawall boardwalk OCEAN SPRINGS — An engineering firm suggests that a 260-foot section of the popular Ocean Springs Front Beach boardwalk that failed in May would best be rebuilt attached to the seawall along Front Beach Drive.

At Tuesday night’s Board of Aldermen meeting, The Sun Herald reports city leaders decided to proceed with a preliminary plan to do that to stabilize it.

The section caved in earlier this year after wave action ate away its beach protection and then undermined it.

Jackson County crews removed the slabs of broken cement and filled the area of boardwalk with sand until the city could decide what to do next.

Olive Branch hires trapper for beavers OLIVE BRANCH — Olive Branch has hired a trapper to remove beavers from city drains and drainage rights of way, which if unchecked could lead to flooding problems.

The city on Tuesday hired DFT Wildlife Control to do the work.

The Commercial Appeal reports that the city took a similar measure in 2008.

VA secretary nominee not a health care expert

BY MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A onetime Army Ranger and former CEO of a Fortune 500 consumer products company, Robert McDonald may face his toughest challenge yet in fixing the huge, scandalplagued Veterans Affairs Department.

Veterans groups worry that the longtime corporate executive, nominated by President Barack Obama to lead the VA, may have trouble adjusting to a far-flung bureaucracy of more than 300,000 employees, where hundreds of hospital directors and other career executives wield great power far from the agency’s Washington headquarters.

“Procter & Gamble is going to feel like a Ferrari compared to the VA,” said Paul Rieckhoff, CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

A year after he was forced out as P&G’s CEO, McDonald, 61, was tapped

by Obama this week to overhaul an agency reeling from revelations of widespread treatment de-

lays and falsified records to cover up months-long waits for appointments.

The White House released a scathing report last week, saying the VA was battling a “corrosive culture” of distrust, lacks resources and was illprepared to deal with an influx of new and older veterans with a range of medical and mental health needs. The agency serves nearly 9 million veterans with an annual budget of $154 billion, one of the largest in the federal government.

“The VA is a large and troubled organization,” said Robert Bies, a management professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business. “What’s really missing is management of the culture. You have to have someone who can manage complex organizations, and (McDonald) has a track record of doing that.”

Some veterans groups question McDonald’s selection, saying they were not consulted about the choice and were not familiar with McDonald, a West Point graduate

who has been out of the military for more than 30 years. More importantly, the groups say, McDonald has no direct health care experience — a crucial deficiency as he takes over an agency that treats veterans suffering from a multitude of war-related physical and mental injuries and illnesses.

McDonald starts with another disadvantage in that Obama’s term ends in January 2017. He “is going to have to be a very quick study if he is going to make an impact in just 2½ years,” Rieckhoff said.

Just how McDonald got the job remains somewhat of a mystery. Aides say the president was looking for someone who had led a large organization and was familiar with military culture, although it is not clear how McDonald, who supported Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election, first came to Obama’s attention.

“McDonald’s name just kept coming up, at the intersection of having managed a large corporation well and being a vet,” said

a senior administration official who asked not to be identified to discuss internal White House deliberations.

“There was a strong preference for someone who has served.”

The VA’s acting secretary, Sloan Gibson, attended West Point with McDonald and has been a close friend for 40 years.

Gibson, who is expected to return to his role as deputy secretary if McDonald is confirmed, called his old friend “an exceptional person — a great leader, a skilled manager, an extraordinarily talented executive and a man with the strongest moral compass.”

McDonald is friendly with House Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Rob Portman — both Republicans from his home state of Ohio — but a spokesman for Boehner said the speaker did not recommend McDonald to the president. A spokesman for Portman said only that McDonald is a friend of the senator and that Portman plans to support his nomination.

McDonald has donated

$3,400 to Portman over the past few years, federal election records show. He also has contributed at least $3,500 to Boehner, and gave $5,000 to Romney.

“I’m glad to see the president reach out to someone with a wealth of experience managing a complex organization who has also had a distinguished military record,” Portman said in a statement.

“Bob McDonald is a good man, a veteran and a strong leader with decades of experience in the private sector,” said Boehner, whose district is just outside Cincinnati, where Procter & Gamble is based.

Boehner, a harsh critic of the VA, said McDonald can succeed only “if his boss, the president, first commits to doing whatever it takes to give our veterans the world-class health care system they deserve by articulating a vision for sweeping reform.”

Daniel Dellinger, national commander of the American Legion, the nation’s largest veterans

group and the first to call for the ouster of former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki., said he has never met McDonald and had not heard him of until Sunday, a few hours before his selection became public.

Still, Dellinger said he was rooting for McDonald to succeed: “Being an infantry officer myself, I think he’s a good man for the job.”

Like Boehner, Dellinger and other veterans leaders said McDonald’s success or failure will depend in large part on whether Obama backs the new nominee to make the changes that are needed.

“If the president doesn’t make VA a priority, Superman can’t do this job,” Rieckhoff said.

McDonald said in accepting the nomination that he plans to put veterans at the center of everything the VA does. “At the VA, the veteran is our customer and we must all focus all day, every day on getting them the benefits and the care that they have so earned,” he said Monday. “That’s the only reason we are here.”

Supreme court agrees on privacy issues Founder of country’s

BY MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court justices found more common ground than usual this year, and nowhere was their unanimity more surprising than in a ruling that police must get a judge’s approval before searching the cellphones of people they’ve arrested.

The term that just ended also had its share of 5-4 decisions with the familiar conservativeliberal split, including Monday’s ruling on religion, birth control and the health care law.

But the 9-0 cellphone decision last week may be the most consequential of the justices’ 67 rulings this term. It signaled a high degree of skepticism about the government’s authority, without any need to satisfy an impartial judge, to sweep up vast quantities of information that individuals store on computers and cellphones, as well as other records that companies keep online.

The scope of that ruling will await future cases, including possible challenges to NSA’s surveillance and collection

of massive amounts of Americans’ telephone records. But the justices indicated that constitutional privacy protections, embodied in the Fourth Amendment, will apply strongly to cases involving computers and digital storage, said Elizabeth Wydra, the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center’s chief counsel.

Chief Justice John Roberts’ opinion for the court “was a broad and sweeping ruling in favor of privacy,” Wydra said.

The cellphone case was one of 42 in which the court was unanimous about the outcome, either 9-0 or 8-0 in cases where a justice sat out.

That level of consensus is far higher than in recent terms.

The cases include highprofile disputes in which the administration could not attract a vote for its preferred result, even from the two justices appointed by President Barack Obama: Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. The court struck down Obama’s recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board, the 35-foot buffer zone around Massachu-

setts abortion clinics and the criminal conviction under a chemical weapons treaty of a woman who tried to poison her husband’s lover.

“This was a huge rebuke for taking the very extreme positions the administration put before the court, particularly for executive power grabs,” said Carrie Severino, chief counsel of the conservative Judicial Crisis Network.

Yet, as even Severino acknowledged, the unanimity sometimes masked serious disagreement among the conservative justices about the grounds for the decisions.

In the recess appointments case, Justice Anthony Kennedy joined with the liberal justices to endorse reasoning that preserved, at least in theory, the president’s authority to make the temporary, recess appointments when the Senate takes a break from its work.

In the chemical weapons treaty case, Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would have imposed serious limits on the federal government’s pow-

ers relating to treaties.

In the case over abortion clinic buffer zones, Roberts and the liberals banded together to preserve a 2000 high court ruling upholding a different kind of buffer. In a pointed opinion that would have overruled the earlier case, Scalia said, “I prefer not to take part in the assembling of an apparent but specious unanimity.”

This division among conservatives led Supreme Court lawyer Andy Pincus to conclude that the term actually was a good one for the Obama administration.

“Given the stakes for the administration, these were significant victories,” Pincus said.

Yale Law School professor Heather Gerken said she has seen the Roberts court take small steps in voting rights and campaign finances cases, only to return with landmark rulings a few years later.

Based on the current crop of cases, Gerken said, “It’s hard to know whether it’s a temporary reprieve for progressive causes or a sign that the court is moderating its positions.”

oldest commune dies

BY LUCAS L. JOHNSON II Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Stephen Gaskin, a visionary who established one of the country’s oldest surviving communes, located in rural Middle Tennessee, has died. He was 79.

Gretchen Bates, who grew up on The Farm and is close to Gaskin’s family, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Gaskin died of natural causes at his home in Summertown on Tuesday.

Bates said Gaskin had been ill for a while, and that she recently visited him. She described him as a visionary and spiritual guide who advocated being responsible and giving back to the community.

“He made us think about taking responsibility for your life ... and trying to give back as much as you possibly could,” said Bates, who describes herself as one of the “baby boomers” of The Farm. “He really was a visionary.”

A message on The Farm’s website reads: “We mourn the passing of Stephen Gaskin, our founder and friend. Our community would not exist, were it not for his bravery and free spirit.”

In 1970, Gaskin and

his school bus led a caravan of about 320 hippies to 1,750 acres of rough ridge country where they founded the back-to-basics collective.

By 1980, The Farm’s population had grown to more than 1,200 in Lewis County near Summertown. But a financial crisis a few years later led to a reorganization in which members began paying monthly dues.

Currently, The Farm has about 200 residents.

Most of them work in nearby towns, while others work within the community for homegrown industries like a book publishing company and soy dairy.

Gaskin said his grandmother, who drove a covered wagon from Tennessee to Texas, was a freethinker and a suffragette who marched in the streets for the right of women to vote. And he said her brother helped organize the longshoremen’s union on the waterfront in San Francisco in the 1930s and ‘40s.

“We have been freethinkers for generations,” Gaskin wrote. “And ... I have passed my philosophical and religious ways on to my children, who are very proud of their heritage and ancestors.”

Life, like watermelons, is all about resonance

BY JIMMY C. REED Columnist

Southerners who don’t love watermelon are missing a true gustatory delight, as surely as are Yankees who don’t eat black-eyed peas and cornbread.

As Mark Twain said, “The true Southern watermelon is a boon apart.

It is king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth, and must not be mentioned with commoner things. When one tastes watermelon, he knows what angels eat.”

On weekends, I go to the Farmer’s Market and buy a watermelon, but I confess that although I thump them, I have no

idea what sound differentiates ripe and not-so-ripe melons.

With an ear cocked to the divine green orbs, I go through the thumping ritual, and assuming I’ve discovered one that angels would pick, I buy it. I’m right about half the time.

One Saturday morning, I watched a melon thumper who looked like he knew what he was doing. While his wife waited, he thumped one after another, thumped one of them several more times, and announcing to the missus that it was the ripest of the bunch, put it in her shopping basket.

“Sir, you obviously

know how to thump melons,” I said. “Would you explain your technique to me?”

“Why, shucks, son,” he said, “tain’t nuttin’ to it.

It’s all about resonance.”

Noticing that my blank face bespoke blankness even blanker than its perpetual blankness, he explained.

“Resonance … that’s what it is all about. Listen while I thump several of these melons. Notice the difference?”

Blankly, I responded, “No, sir, they all sound the same to me.”

Patiently, he repeated the process, but before doing so he suggested I listen closely for those

with lower resonances.

Sure enough, I noticed that one melon emitted a deeper, fuller, more reverberating sound upon being thumped than the others, and told him so.

“That’s the one, son.

Buy that melon … you will eat every bite of it.” I did, and I did.

Watermelon isn’t just a Southern delicacy. Records show that it was cultivated in the Nile Valley beginning in the second millennium B.C. Farmers in the Orient have addicted customers to watermelon as far back as the Tenth Century A.D., and recently the Japanese introduced the world’s first square water-

melon, which I consider a sacrilege. A watermelon ought not to have corners.

The word watermelon first appeared in the English dictionary in 1615, and records indicate Americans began their love affair with the king of fruits several hundred years ago.

Today, farmers in almost every state grow watermelons, thanks to Charles Fredric Andrus, a South Carolina horticulturist. In 1954, he developed the disease- and wilt- resistant Charleston Gray that can be cultivated over a wide geographical area. All modern commercial varieties have some Charleston Gray in

their lineage.

If you want to make the Dog Days of summer more tolerable, enjoy fresh, sweet, juicy watermelon. And if you want to be certain that you’ll enjoy what angels eat, remember what the expert thumper taught me: It’s all about resonance.

Upcoming releases offer variety at the theater Here are some upcoming movies for the hot summer days and nights – so movie fans can sit in a cool theater and hopefully be entertained.

Let’s take a look at Terry a famous Burns film critic who died Movie Critic recently after a long battle with Cancer.

“Life Itself” is a documentary about Roger Ebert’s life. According to IMDB Steve James directed this film which opens July 4. Ebert worked with the director, Steve James, before Ebert passed away.

It should have some very remarkable information from one of the greatest film critics in recent history. Many individuals do not care for documentaries, but I will see this film if it is within 100 miles of here.

“Sex Tape” starring Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz who are married to each other and they decide to make a tape of their love life. Diaz has been in lots of movie lately, and now it seems she is making a movie within a movie. Not surprising since she has been in some very wild and wooly movies lately.

“A Most Wanted Man” is based on John le Carre’s novel by the same

name. The film is about spying and terrorism in Hamburg. It stars Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright, Daniel Brahl, Willem Dafoe, and the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

“Hercules” will deliver his strength and talent in battles. He is played by Dwayne Johnson. He was Buford Pusser several years ago. Lots of people met him at the Courthouse in Selmer, Tenn. including me.

“About Alex” College friends meet after several years, and it reads as if it will be similar to “The Big Chill” in the 60’s generation only now it is - well now. They presumably will be using Facebook, Twitter, Texting, etc.

There is nothing like trying to talk to someone in a car, house, or anywhere while the person we talk to thumbs his keyboard.

It is so comforting to try to carry on a conversation under those circumstances. It is okay in its place, if it is an honest text. That is the way we are going, but please have the courtesy to use it politely and at the right place and time. Or as some prefer to do – Just do what you want to.

“Get on Up” This is about James Brown the singer. I feel Good. I will be there for this one. Soul music singing is like it was meant to be – which is coming from within feeling the words and en-

tertaining the audience.

“When the Game Stands Tall” is about a high school football team at De La Salle school that wins 151 games. Now that is a record, and it is true.

“The Expendables” which gives Sylvester Stalone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Antonio Banderas more than an hour to do their shooting, fighting, etc.

“The November Man” is the name of an expert spy. Bill Granger wrote 13 novels about the character. Pierce Brosnan plays “The November Man.” He is back in the spy business.

“The Equalizer” is based on a television show several years ago.

However, it has been upgraded to the present and “The Equalizer” is played

by Denzel Washington.

I am looking forward to these last two films, because both trailers look as though they have a story and some action.

Today

Jobs, jobs, jobs The Labor Department reports its latest monthly tally of hiring today.

Employers added 217,000 jobs in May, the fourth consecutive month of gains above 200,000.

The trend has contributed to the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits declining near the levels seen before the recession began in December 2007. Economists predict that the pace of hiring slowed modestly in June to a seasonally adjusted 205,000 jobs.

Job growth has helped lower the national unemployment rate to 6.3 percent since April.

That's the lowest jobless rate in more than five years.

Employers have been adding jobs at a healthy clip, even though the U.S. economy shrank in the first three months of the year. Economists expect that the government will report today that the unemployment rate held steady in June.

Widower struggles with dating WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I am a 76-year-old man. After 46 years of a happy marriage, my precious wife passed away four years ago.

I live in the country and have become acquainted with several single women around my age who are widows or divorcees and live within a 20-mile radius. I have taken a few of them out to dinner or to a play. They go with me once or twice and won’t go again. They tell me they are too busy with their grandchildren. One said, “We are too different.” Another said she is not in the dating mood.

All have told me that I am a real nice guy, and it’s not because of anything I did or said.

I’ve never made inappropriate advances toward these women. I’ve only asked for a little hug because I miss holding my wife.

But it seems they do not want to be touched, and two of them told me that I am expecting too much. I have never indicated that I wanted more than a hug, although I have to admit, in my own mind, I have hoped that after going out a few times, we could go a little farther than that.

I’m not looking for a serious relationship.

I am just extremely lonesome and would like to have a companion to

Annie’s Mailbox go places with and be together occasionally.

I’ve never really understood women, so I’m at a loss here. I don’t own a computer, so I cannot try meeting women online.

Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. — Lonesome Okie Dear Lonesome: We don’t know what you are doing wrong. If you are giving these women the impression that you want physical affection, but not a serious relationship, they may not be interested. Asking for hugs on a first date may be too forward, or it may frighten them.

We know you are lonely, but please slow down. You might be coming across as too needy, which is not attractive. Get to know these women as friends first, and see where it leads. And if you are interested in online dating, your local library can provide a computer.

Dear Annie: My brother’s daughter is getting

married this summer.

She’s having a huge wedding. All of the nieces, nephews and cousins are invited except our three daughters. My brother said they have to cut somewhere.

Should I just shrug this off? I told my mother that I’m so upset, I’m thinking of never seeing or speaking to my brother again.

Is this a feeling I should be having? Should I ask my brother what we did to them that they would exclude us in this way? — Not a Happy Sister Dear Sister: Generally, it is wise to “cut” along the same family lines, so that, for example, you invite all first cousins or none of them.

However, sometimes the bride or groom has a close relationship with some cousins and not others.

In such cases, if the guest list is limited, it makes sense to invite those with whom you are closest. Is it possible that your children are especially distant from the bride? Have they had a falling out of which you are unaware?

Unless there is a reason, we find this exclusion unnecessarily hurtful. We hope you can work through it.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian On July 11, 1996, an infant was left on the doorstep of a local doctor’s office. Now 18 years later, find out how “Jane Doe” is doing today by reading staff writer Kimberly Shelton’s story on Sunday.

Homophobic brother changes his tune when daughter comes out D E A R ABBY: I am a gay man who has had a difficult, distant relationship with my only brother, Abigail “Bill.”

He has Van Buren made many nasty, hoDear Abby mophobic remarks, and my partner, “Jon,” has been excluded from many family gatherings. Because Jon wasn’t welcomed I also did not attend those gatherings, and I endured further wrath because I didn’t.

Bill’s daughter has just announced that she is a lesbian.

His reaction is mystifying. He has embraced her and her partner and has lovingly included them into the heart of the family.

I am happy that my niece has found love and support. I am also jealous that she has a better father than I did a brother.

Are my feelings justified? -- SAD SIBLING IN VIRGINIA DEAR SAD SIBLING: Of course your feelings are justified. You are human, and your skin isn’t made of Teflon.

It’s sad that your brother couldn’t have treated you and Jon with more compassion and understanding.

I find it interesting how people’s perspective can radically

change when a child of theirs is involved. Now let’s see if your brother’s attitude toward you changes, and how forgiving you and your partner can be if it does.

DEAR ABBY: I bought a friend a gift recently. Her response?

“You should have just given me the money because I really need it.”

A few years ago, I was going to buy another friend an expensive pair of shoes and she convinced me not to because she said she could buy 10 pairs from a discount store for the amount I was planning to spend.

I love giving gifts during the holidays and for birthdays, and enjoy choosing things I think my friends might like or need. I hate giving money! Isn’t part of the gift-giving experience for the giver, too?

I feel it should be my choice to buy whatever I want for someone, and their response should just be, “Thank you.” It irks me when people dictate to me what I should give them.

Am I just being a control freak, or do I have the wrong idea of gift-giving? -- GIFT GIVER IN TEXAS DEAR GIFT GIVER: A thoughtful gift giver selects things the recipient can use and enjoy.

A grateful recipient doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouth

and say she’d prefer the cash.

However, the woman who convinced you not to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of designer shoes she might not be able to return was, I think, doing both of you a favor.

While it’s your prerogative to give whatever you want to whomever you want, don’t you think it makes more sense to bestow something the person can use and enjoy than to satisfy your ego?

DEAR ABBY: Can you settle a dispute for me?

When you go up to a house with two doors -- a regular door and a screen door -- and there is no doorbell, is it proper to open the first door and knock on the second door or is it considered rude? -- KNOCK, KNOCK DEAR KNOCK, KNOCK: Because in the absence of a doorbell the only way you can make your presence known would be to knock, open the screen door and knock.

Then step back and close the screen door so you’re not intruding on the space of the person who answers it.

Your charming presentation comes from an intuition you have about the people you’re among. You want to delight them. You know something good will develop out of the connection you make.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ll be walking an ethical line as to how much to participate in gossip. Even just hearing it might be too much. Anyway, there won’t be a shortage of juicy stories today, most served up with a side pf Schadenfreude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You normally don’t worry yourself about what others think of you, but in today’s situation, a stellar impression will make the difference between winning and losing. Ask for feedback.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You don’t want to be mildly happy with your work; you want to be enthusiastic about it. Therefore, adjustments will be made.

What is it that’s keeping you from the higher levels of joy?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Implement yesterday’s plans, and you’ll bump up your productivity considerably. Still, at the end of the day, it will be about how much you loved, not how much you did.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Boasting, posturing, name-dropping and the like usually turn you off -- but not today. You’ll be pulled in. Maybe it’s because you’re flattered that people feel they need to work so hard to impress you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Like a seasoned jazz artist or comedian, you’ll do your best work when you’re riffing. You’ll play around in a loose mix of random thoughts and wind up with some brilliant order.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re wary of those who wear their trendy pet causes like the latest designer shoes, though you’re quite interested in the person with an unusual and very personal quest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). If your actions reflect reality and not the idealized self-image you want them to reflect, you can count yourself among the multitudes. Dealing in reality is the only way to get closer to the person you want to be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pressure is definitely on, but it will only last for a moment. Then, win or lose, it will be over, and you’ll be free to recharge so you can try again tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You understand that not everyone shares your moral code, but what worries you is the way it’s so casually bent and broken by people who claim to uphold it.

Forget the words; pay attention to people’s deeds today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Because you really know and cater to your audience, your way of expressing your ideas will be appealing and effective.

You’ll be lucky as you help those who are new to the process and therefore clueless.

Jose Altuve, Houston Listed at 5'6", the Astros’ second baseman is becoming a big man in Houston. Quickly establishing himself as the face of a young, upand-coming franchise, Altuve is the only player in the 2000s with multiple hits and multiple steals in four consecutive games, accomplished last week.

Felix Hernandez, Seattle King Felix has put himself in position to start the All-Star Game for the American League if the schedule allows. Last week, he defeated Boston and Cleveland, holding the Indians to just one hit over eight innings. He tossed 15 innings and allowed seven hits, three walks and struck out 15 in the two wins.

Matt Adams, St. Louis There is very little right with the St. Louis offense this season. But since his return from a calf injury, Adams has been on fire for the Cardinals. Last week, he batted .360 with three homers and eight RBIs, tied for best in the majors.

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles So, how does one follow up one of the greatest pitching performances of all-time? With a pair of shutouts, of course. The Dodgers’ lefthander is in Cy Young form of late with eight shutout innings at Kansas City and seven clean frames against St. Louis on Sunday. Last week, his total of 15 innings produced just 11 hits and three walks with 21 strikeouts.

Kris Bryant, 3B, Chicago Cubs The second pick in the 2013 draft was recently promoted from Double-A to Triple-A, and his first five hits left the yard. After batting .355 with 27 homers and 69 RBIs in 69 games for Double-A Tennessee, he’s hitting .317 with five bombs and 11 ribbies in 11 games with Iowa.

Kyle Schwarber, C/OF, Chicago Cubs The Cubs’ first pick this year hit .600 in his first five professional games at Low-A, earning a promotion. He’s hit .412 in 10 games at High-A.

June 30, 1970 The Cincinnati Reds open Riverfront Stadium but Hank Aaron’s two-run home run in the first inning quickly dampens the spirits of the 51,050 fans in attendance. Pete Rose leads off the bottom of the first with a single for the Reds’ first hit in their new digs. The Braves are up 6-0 in the fourth when pinch-hitter Angel Bravo singles home Tommy Helms with the Reds’ first run.

June 30, 1970 Major League Baseball hosts its first All-Star Game at Comiskey Park. Led by managers Connie Mack and John McGraw, the players don’t disappoint the 47,595 fans in attendance. Babe Ruth hits the first All-Star Game home run as the AL prevails, 4-2.

Toronto at Oakland In the marquee matchup of the weekend, Oakland looks to avenge a sweep in Toronto over Memorial Day weekend. The Blue Jays outscored the A’s 11-5 and outhit Oakland 2519 in what was a low-scoring three-game set.

Toronto took two of three in Oakland last season. R.A. Dickey and Sonny Gray will oppose each other on Thursday night, the first game in the four-game set. Veteran lefties Mark Buehrle and Scott Kazmir are scheduled to pitch on Saturday. Kazmir gave up just five hits and a walk over seven innings in a loss back in May to the Jays. In that same series, Dickey tossed 8.1 innings and yielded just five hits and a walk in a win.

Milwaukee at Cincinnati The Reds have been one of the hottest teams in the NL of late, and the Brewers haven’t exactly been struggling either. Alfredo Simon, having a tremendous season for the Reds, Homer Bailey and Mat Latos are scheduled to pitch for Cincinnati. The three are a combined 8-1 with a 2.98 ERA in June. Milwaukee will counter with Kyle Lohse, Matt Garza and Yovani Gallardo. The Brewers’ trio is 8-4 with a 3.21 ERA in June.

Tim Lincecum at San Diego The last time San Diego hitters faced Lincecum, the righthander no-hit the Friars, giving up just three walks. It was the second no-hitter for Lincecum over the Padres in less than 12 months.

Athlon Sports 2014 All-Star Selections On Sunday night, July 6, MLB will announce the All-Star teams for the big game at Minneapolis on July 15.

As always, fan voting will determine the starting position players for each league. Players vote for reserves and pitchers with managers filling out the teams. Rosters consist of 34 players — that’s right, 34 — and each club must be represented. In advance of the big announcement, here are my selections for the two rosters.

Lucroy, Tom DiPace; Brantley, Walter G. Arce Sr.

Milwaukee’s Jonathan Lucroy (left) and Cleveland’s Michael Brantley should be firsttime All-Star starters this season.

American League Starting Lineup

National League Starting Lineup 2B Dee Gordon, Los Angeles Proving to be a demon on the basepaths, Gordon already has 40 steals and 11 triples.

RF Yasiel Puig, Los Angeles You never really know what to expect from Mr. Excitement.

CF Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh The reigning NL MVP is having another MVP-type season.

SS Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado If his body holds up, Tulo could be a runaway choice for MVP honors.

LF Giancarlo Stanton, Miami No one hits more tape-measure shots than Stanton, which makes him a fun participant in the Home Run Derby.

1B Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Goldschmidt is seventh in OPS, third in RBIs, second in runs and first in doubles.

DH Anthony Rizzo, Chicago There is no overwhelming choice at DH for the NL, and Rizzo is having a fine season.

C Jonathan Lucroy, Milwaukee With his .334 batting average and 28 doubles, Lucroy is finally able to unseat Yadier Molina.

3B Todd Frazier, Cincinnati Frazier has been the big producer in Cincinnati.

SP Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Kershaw has no peers.

Reserves C Evan Gattis, Atlanta C Yadier Molina, St. Louis 1B Matt Adams, St. Louis 1B Adam LaRoche, Washington 2B Daniel Murphy, New York 2B Chase Utley, Philadelphia 3B Aramis Ramirez, Milwaukee 3B Anthony Rendon, Washington SS Starlin Castro, Chicago OF Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee OF Corey Dickerson, Colorado PR Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati

2B Jose Altuve, Houston Robinson Cano is having a solid season for the Mariners, but Altuve leads the league in batting, hits and steals.

CF Mike Trout, Los Angeles His stats are as eye-popping as his talent would suggest, but he’s still outperformed AL outfielders.

1B Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Miggy is on pace for an eight-year low in homers, but a career best in doubles.

Could be a sign of a decline in power.

DH Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto The Jays’ first baseman is really a DH and makes perfect sense to start against the left-handed Kershaw.

RF Nelson Cruz, Baltimore A critical signing for Baltimore, Cruz is among the league leaders in home runs and RBIs. 3B Josh Donaldson, Oakland The AL leader among third basemen in homers, runs and RBIs narrowly edges Adrian Beltre, who had a short DL stint early in the season.

LF Michael Brantley, Cleveland The leftfielder leads all AL outfielders with a .318 average and is perfect in nine stolen base attempts.

C Sal Perez, Kansas City Adept behind the plate as well as at the plate, Perez leads AL backstops with 26 extra-base hits.

SS Erick Aybar, Los Angeles A close call between Aybar and Alexei Ramirez, but Aybar has batted .313 over the past month and a half, while Ramirez has slumped to .230 in June.

SP Felix Hernandez, Seattle We’ll give King Felix the nod slightly over Masahiro Tanaka.

Reserves C Derek Norris, Oakland 1B Jose Abreu, Chicago 2B Robinson Cano, Seattle 2B Ian Kinsler, Detroit 2B Brian Dozier Minnesota 3B Lonnie Chisenhall, Cleveland 3B Adrian Beltre, Texas 3B Kyle Seager, Seattle SS Alexei Ramirez, Chicago OF Jose Bautista, Toronto OF Melky Cabrera, Toronto OF Adam Jones, Baltimore

Pitchers SP Masahiro Tanaka, New York SP Mark Buehrle, Toronto SP Scott Kazmir, Oakland SP Yu Darvish, Texas SP Chris Sale, Chicago SP David Price, Tampa Bay RP Koji Uehara, Boston RP Greg Holland, Kansas City RP Dellin Betances, New York RP Sean Doolittle, Oakland RP Wade Davis, Kansas City RP Zach Britton, Baltimore

Derek Jeter is the active leader with 3,393 hits and 2,536 singles (as of June 29). Can you name the active leaders

Consecutive games with a home run last week for Devin Mesoraco of the Cincinnati Reds. That is the most consecutive games with a homer since Chris Davis of the Orioles homered in six straight Sept. 26 to Oct. 2, 2012.

Batting average of Yankees’ designated hitters this season. After signing Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann over the winter to join Alfonso Soriano as rotating DHs, the Yankees have struggled to find consistency from their extra hitter.

Hit allowed by Cleveland’s Josh Tomlin at Seattle on Saturday, June 28 in the Indians’ 5-0 win. Also the number of hits allowed by Seattle pitchers the following day, shutting out Cleveland 3-0. Felix Hernandez gave up the hit over eight innings before giving way to closer Fernando Rodney in the ninth.

Consecutive scoreless innings by Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers. His next scheduled start is July 4 at Colorado.

ERA for Colorado pitchers in June, easily the worst in the majors. The next-worst pitching staff in June has been the Texas Rangers with an ERA of 4.87.

in career doubles, triples and home runs?

TRIVIA ANSWER: Bobby Abreu of the Mets leads with 574 doubles, Carl Crawford is tops with 118 triples and Albert Pujols, with 508, tops the all-time home run list.

• With strikeouts of Derek Jeter, Ichiro Suzuki and Jacoby Ellsbury Sunday night, Boston lefthander Andrew Miller whiffed players who represent a combined 8,676 career hits, including 267 in the postseason and Ichiro’s 1,278 knocks in Japan.

• On Sunday afternoon, Colby Lewis of the Texas Rangers tossed six innings and held Minnesota to just two runs in the Twins’ 3-2 win. The significance? It broke a string of 13 starts by Lewis this season without a quality start. That represents the longest such streak to start a season since 2000.

• San Diego pitcher Odrisamer Despaigne — whose name is not easy to pronounce nor spell — pitched seven scoreless innings in his major league debut on June 23. He became just the eighth pitcher in history to toss seven shutout innings without allowing a walk in his debut. The others: Don Loun, Wayne Simpson, Jimmy Jones, Jack McDowell, Jeff Pico and Scott Lewis.

• Since the National League West became a five-team division in 1998 with the addition of the Arizona Diamondbacks, there has been some degree of parity. The Diamondbacks have won five division titles, the Dodgers and Giants four each and the Padres three. But the Colorado Rockies evidently weren’t invited to the parity party. The Rox have never won a division title.

• Among the many exploits of Houston’s Jose Altuve this season is his batting average against left-handed pitching. The speedy Altuve is batting .438 this season vs. southpaws. That would rank fourth since 2000 (minimum 100 plate appearances). Ryan Braun batted .450 off of lefties in 2007, Bret Boone hit .444 in 2001 and Freddy Sanchez hit .442 in 2006.

Nats’ Williams on Harper: ‘I’ve got Bryce’s back’ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — One day after Bryce Harper expressed his thoughts on the ideal lineup for the Washington Nationals, his manager had a clear message for reporters.

“I’ve got to let you guys know something: I’ve got Bryce’s back in every way.

That will not change,” Matt Williams said before Washington’s home game versus Colorado on Tuesday.”

On Monday, Harper returned to the Nationals after missing 57 games with

a torn ligament in his left hand. With the All-Star outfielder back, the firstyear manager has a full complement of potent option, but potentially some tricky decisions. Harper, Washington’s left fielder pre-injury, suggested a configuration where he moves to center — the usual home for Denard Span.

He went 1 for 3 with a run scored in his return.

Williams said on Monday the daily lineup situation was “fluid,” but Washing-

ton’s entire batting order and fielding roles remains identical following the 7-3 win.

Monday night marked the first time since opening day — when catcher Wilson Ramos left the game with an injury — that this starting eight has taken the field.

Williams said he spoke with Harper about his lineup comments.

“I want him to play every day and I want him to play the way Bryce knows how to play. He’s going to

hit in different spots in the lineup. He’s OK with that.

He’s going to play in different spots in the outfield and he’s OK with that too.”

On April 19, Williams famously benched the 21-year-old in the seventh inning against St. Louis for failing to run all the way to first base on a ground ball out.

Harper is batting .291 with one home run and 10 RBI in 23 games.

“I know there is a lot made of it and a lot of discussion about it, but

he and I are good,” Williams said of Harper’s comments. “There is no rift. We have a conversation every day. I support him all the way. I’m happy to write his name in the lineup every day. Who wouldn’t be.”

Harper stated on Monday that he learned he would play left field via Twitter. He told also told reporters how Washington’s would look if he filled out the card. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman spent time in left with

Harper sidelined.

“I think (Zimmerman) should be playing left.

(Anthony) Rendon’s a good third baseman. He should be playing third.

We’ve got one of the best second basemen in the league in Danny Espinosa,” Harper told reporters. “Of course, we want the best-hitting lineup in there. (But) I think Rendon playing third and Zim playing left is something that would be good for this team. I think that should be what’s happening.”

No Wimbledon repeat for Murray The Associated Press

LONDON — The silence at Centre Court made abundantly clear that Andy Murray’s time as Wimbledon champion was coming to a close.

Out of sorts from the start of his quarterfinal against upand-coming Grigor Dimitrov on Wednesday, Murray — who in 2013 ended Britain’s 77-year wait for one of its own to win the men’s title at the All England Club — sailed an awkward backhand slice long to fall behind by a set and a break.

The crowd of nearly 15,000,

usually so vociferous in support of Murray, sat quietly, perhaps not prepared to believe what was happening.

All along, Murray’s body language was as negative as his play: He gnawed on his knuckle after seeing an ace zip past; slapped his forehead with his palm after one forehand found the net; bowed his head and slumped his shoulders after another did the same.

When one last forehand fell short, the magical ride ended for Murray and his fans with a 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss to the

11th-seeded Dimitrov, who became the first man from Bulgaria to reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

“I have very good memories from that court out there. It’s a special court for me,” said Murray, who lost the 2012 Wimbledon final there, won that year’s London Olympics gold medal there, then won his historic title 12 months ago there. “I mean, you can have bad days as an athlete.

You don’t win all of the time.

Sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and move on.”

He hadn’t lost a set in his first four matches, but made 37 unforced errors Wednesday, more than twice as many as Dimitrov.

“Even when I wanted to get into longer rallies, I was missing shots,” the third-seeded Murray said. “I was unable to make him work as hard as I needed to.”

Dimitrov was composed throughout, getting broken only once and showing off the all-court game and smooth, one-handed backhand that Please see TENNIS | 13

Gwyn earns NEMCC defensive honor

BY BLAKE D. LONG NEMCC Public Information

BOONEVILLE — The Northeast Mississippi Community College women’s basketball team recently held its annual postseason banquet.

In conjunction with former University of Alabama and two-time Final Four coach Ed Nixon presenting the keynote address, Lady Tigers headman Brian Alexander handed out his yearly awards at the ceremony held inside Tupelo’s First Baptist Church.

“We look back in an unselfish context and are able to hand out these awards,” Alexander said. “We promote that

every person on the team has a different role and that role is of equal importance. It’s huge that we are able to recognize those key pieces to our season.”

Three out of the five honors went to sophomores.

A quick and aggressive style of play helped Kiki Gwyn become the Best Defensive Player for Northeast last year.

The Corinth native directed the Lady Tigers’ offense from the point guard position, but was also a leader on the opposite side of the floor. Gwyn set the tone for Northeast with 2.6 steals per contest.

Gwyn did not mind sacri-

ficing herself to take a charge in key situations. In fact, she got in position for an offensive foul that helped propel Northeast to a triumph over Southern University (La.) at Shreveport early in the season.

She recorded her best performance offensively against Jackson State (Tenn.) Community College just before the holiday break between semesters. Gwyn notched the only double-double of her time in Booneville with 11 points and 10 rebounds in a win versus the Lady Generals.

The Kossuth High School alumnus participated in 22

games as a sophomore and started in 21. She averaged 4.5 points, 2.3 assists and 1.9 boards per game.

Antionette Riddle was named Best Offensive Player.

The 5-9 guard, who signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) to join Delta State University’s tradition rich program, led the Lady Tigers in a number of categories last year, including points per outing (15) and assists per contest (2.9).

She averaged 33.9 minutes per game, which topped Northeast. It was also 14th Please see BASKETBALL | 13

Colombians recall ’94 murder of soccer player Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia — The murder 20 years ago Wednesday of a Colombian soccer player who had accidentally scored for the other side, helping eliminate his team from the World Cup, stands in stark contrast to the national squad’s celebrated success this time around.

It also highlights how Colombia has changed.

Colombia entered the 1994 World Cup among the favorites, led by star playmaker Carlos “El Pibe” Valderrama

and forward Faustino Asprilla.

Then the unthinkable began to happen. The squad lost 3-1 to Romania and midfielder Gabriel Gomez got a faxed death threat. The coach contemplated resigning.

But the worst was still to come. Defender Andres Escobar, the even-tempered “Gentleman of the Field,” accidentally put the ball in his own net in a loss to the United States, and Colombia was out.

Ten days later, the 27-year-

old Escobar was shot dead in a Medellin parking lot. The country was stunned.

“Everyone wanted the crime solved, from the president to the most humble of Colombians,” said Jesus Albeiro Yepes, the prosecutor who investigating the killing.

“I think people would have lynched the three (suspects in the crime) if they had had the opportunity.”

The crime reinforced Colombia’s reputation as a nation held hostage by cocaine cartels, where professional

soccer was rife with drug money and national stars played in private matches for kingpins including Pablo Escobar, who was slain by police in 1993.

The investigation of Andres Escobar’s murder reinforced the perception of impunity.

While triggerman Humberto Munoz was sentenced to 42 years in prison, he refused to implicate his bosses, who were with him at the time. He was out of prison after 11 years.

highest among athletes in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and second in the league.

Riddle scored a careerhigh 26 points and had 10 boards in a victory over Coahoma Community College inside Bonner Arnold Coliseum on January 21. She wrapped up her career as a Lady Tiger with a near triple-double performance at Mississippi Delta Community College with 19 points, nine rebounds and seven steals.

The Tupelo product reached double figures in 21 of 23 games during her last season in Booneville, including in 18 straight matchups to end the campaign.

In her two years at Northeast, Riddle tallied a total of 596 points. She competed in 46 games and averaged 13 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.5 blocks per contest.

Riddle was a Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-State first-team selection. She also competed in the 2014 MACJC All-Star Game and earned the start in the North’s 81-69 victory against the South’s best players.

Aushiana Ivy recovered nicely from a knee injury that forced her to miss the 2012-13 campaign to garner recognition as the Best Rebounder for the Lady Tigers.

The 5-10 guard recorded six double-doubles throughout the season.

She grabbed a career-best 14 rebounds to go with 21 points in a conference game at Coahoma on February 13.

Ivy paced Northeast with an average of 8.6 boards per outing. That number was good for sixth best in the league as well.

Her best offensive output came at Holmes Community College on January 23. Ivy scored 33 points on 10 of 18 shooting and a sound 13 of 17 mark from the free throw line.

The Shannon High School graduate also averaged 1.7 steals, 0.8 assists and 0.4 blocks per game and was third on the squad with 31.6 minutes played each matchup.

Ivy, who was placed on the MACJC All-State

second-team for her outstanding efforts in the paint, is one of four promising Lady Tigers who are slated to return for the upcoming 201415 campaign.

Lexy Lindsey vigorously upheld the commitment of a student athlete to academics first and sports second to claim the Highest Grade Point Average award at a perfect 4.0.

Lindsey is one of four current Lady Tigers that have been inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, including Angelia Allen, Jasmine Allen and Kierra Erby.

When not focusing on the classroom, Lindsey appeared in all but one game for Northeast during the last campaign.

She was a smooth shooter and hit 90.9 percent of her attempts from the free throw line, which topped the team.

The 5-6 guard served as one of the top ball handlers for the Lady Tigers and held a 1.5 assist to turnover ratio.

That number was one of the ten best among all athletes in the MACJC. The Red Bay (Ala.) High School product was also a threat from beyond the arc and connected on 25 percent of her shots from that range, good for third best on the squad. Lindsey averaged 8.9 points per 40 minutes.

Erby completed every task that was assigned to her both on and off the court in a very positive manner and was the recipient of the Heart Award.

The guard, who hails from Columbus, started the year as a manager and through hard work and dedication eventually earned a spot on the team.

Erby contributed mightily to Northeast’s come-from-behind efforts in the season finale at Mississippi Delta.

She played in a personal-best 17 minutes and tallied a bucket, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and a block.

“I am extremely proud of this team,” Alexander said. “We reached our potential and overcame adversity that allowed us to teach life lessons that these student athletes will remember for the rest of their lives.”

long ago earned him the nickname “Baby Fed” — as in seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer.

On Friday, Dimitrov takes on another past champ, top-seeded Novak Djokovic, who returned to the semifinals for the fifth consecutive year by coming back to beat No. 26 Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-1, 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2.

“Novak really played terrific the last two sets,” said three-time Wimbledon winner Boris Becker, who’s coaching Djokovic.

“That was the first real test for him.”

Djokovic was troubled

by Cilic, to be sure, but also by repeated slips that prompted the Serb to change his shoes midway through the match.

Playing on No. 1 Court, Djokovic also was rattled by intermittent cheering from outside the arena for Murray, whose match was played simultaneously across the way.

“I said to the chair umpire: ‘Let’s just stop (our) match, put (theirs) live on the big screen, and let’s watch it ‘til they’re done,’” recounted Djokovic, last year’s runner-up to Murray.

On the other half of the draw, Federer will face No. 8 Milos Raonic, the first Canadian man in a Grand Slam semifinal since 1923.

Federer was broken for the first time in the tournament, and dropped a set for the first time, too, but defeated Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4 in a matchup between a pair of pals from Switzerland.

In 2013, Federer lost in the second round at the All England Club.

“Last year was rough.

I was very disappointed,” the 32-year-old Federer said. “Went back to the practice courts.

Didn’t have any options left at that point.”

Raonic outserved Nick Kyrgios — the 19-year-old Australian who eliminated Rafael Nadal in the fourth round — in a 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) win with the help of 39 aces.

In the women’s quarterfinals, No. 3 Simona Halep beat 2013 runner-up Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-0, and now faces No. 13 Eugenie Bouchard, who got past No. 9 Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4.

NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets reached an agreement in principle Wednesday with Lionel Hollins to become their coach, moving quickly after the departure of Jason Kidd.

The deal with the former Memphis Grizzlies coach comes two days after the Nets made a trade with Milwaukee to allow Kidd out of his contract so the Bucks could hire him.

Nets general manager Billy King and his assistants then met with Hollins on Monday night and again Tuesday before agreeing to the deal.

Terms were not disclosed.

“I want to thank the

Nets ownership and Billy for this opportunity,” Hollins said in a statement. “It has been a long process to get back into the league, and I believe that Billy and I will have a very successful working relationship.

Brooklyn has firmly established itself as a franchise that is committed to winning, and I eagerly look forward to becoming part of that culture and building on the success of the past two playoff appearances.”

The Nets will introduce Hollins at a press conference Monday.

Hollins led Memphis to 56 victories and the 2013 Western Conference finals before he and the Grizzlies

parted ways. The Nets considered him last year after firing P.J. Carlesimo before hiring Kidd.

He was the only known candidate the Nets interviewed this time.

King said he had reached out to one other person who chose not to pursue the job.

“If you look at (his) track record and what he did in Memphis, he was able to go in there and take a team, added some veterans and they continually got better,” King said Tuesday. “He developed some young guys, (Marc) Gasol, some big guys. If you look at Memphis, they got consistently got better every year. All the way to

the Western Conference finals.”

Kidd led Brooklyn to a 44-38 record and the second round of the playoffs in his lone season but the Nets allowed him to pursue other jobs after denying his request for more power within the organization. The Bucks held Kidd’s welcoming press conference earlier Wednesday.

Hollins is known as a strong defensive coach, with the Grizzlies holding opponents to an NBA-low 89.3 points per game in his final season.

He is the franchise’s career leader in wins and led them to three straight playoff appearances.
