Baker pleads guilty to Price murder He pleaded guilty to one charge of aggravated assault, two charges of burglary of an auto, each with a seven-year sentence, and two counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, each with a 10-year sentence.

By doing so, 22-year-old Craig O’Brien Baker avoids a trial for capital murder and a possible death sentence. Baker will be eligible for parole at the age of 65. If paroled, Baker will then serve a 20-year sentence for aggravated assault.

NEW ALBANY — The man charged with the 2011 shooting death of a New Albany High School coach’s wife pleaded guilty today to murder, receiving a life sentence with the possibility of parol.

The sentences for burglary of an auto and possession of a firearm will be served concurrently with the 20-year aggravated assault sentence. The 20-year sentence is to be served congruently, or after, the life-sentence for murder.

Baker was originally charged with capital murder, aggravated assault and two counts of burglary of an automobile after 31-year-old Amanda Cossey Price was killed outside Please see BAKER | 2

Easom memories will come alive BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Memories from the halls of Easom and other schools will come alive with the annual reunion and homecoming Friday through Sunday. “We are looking for a solid, action packed weekend,” said J.C. Hill, one of the coordinators with the Alcorn County Branch NAACP. Themed “Assuring the past, buzzing into the future,” the events will recognize not just the yellow jackets but other schools throughout Corinth and Alcorn County, he said. Edward Bishop Jr., son of former mayor and educator E.S. Bishop, will speak at Sunday’s 3 p.m. memorial service. “They will give recognition to all of the members who have passed, calling those names, lighting a candle and having a special prayer,” said Hill. Bishop, a Corinth native, has worn many different hats through the years. Currently owner of Premier Mortgage Company of Jackson, he previously became Mississippi’s first minority news anchor as a newsman for WJTV of Jackson. He hosted a long-running

BOONEVILLE — Derrick Blythe believes in Booneville and he believes the city’s best days are yet to come. The new mayor of the City of Hospitality envisions a city where people are excited about the future, business is thriving and the community is working together to create a better tomorrow. “I believe that starts at the top. If you’ve got a leader or a face the community is excited about that wants things to happen and you get the community involved in the city we can do big things,” he said. He wants to see Booneville grow and improve and he understands it’s a long term pro-

The city and county have got to come together. There’s a lot of things that need to be changed. Can we achieve everything in four years? No, but we’ve got to make baby steps,” he said. The longtime chiropractor, who defeated first-term mayor Joe Eaton in the June municipal election, has deep roots in the city of Booneville and fondly remembers the thriving, bustling city of his youth. He wants to see that same activity again. Blythe, 44, is the grandson of Maxine McDougal Loveless and the late Roy B. Loveless who operated Farm Bureau in the city for many years. His father, D.B.

Tillman elected to lead Jackson City Council Associated Press

JACKSON — By a 4-3 vote, the Jackson City Council has elected Councilman Charles Tillman president, replacing former President Tony Yarber, who received the other three votes. The Clarion-Ledger reports the 80-year-old Tillman accepted the nod

Tuesday and made a plea for unity, one of new Mayor Chokwe Lumumba’s campaign themes. After Tillman’s remarks, Councilman Melvin Priester Jr. unanimously was elected vice president, just a day after he was sworn in for the first time as a new councilman.

Clara Davis thought she had been awaken by the sound of thunder around daylight Tuesday morning. What the 70-yearold retiree woke to was damage to her front porch and carport caused by a one-vehicle accident at 3403 Mathis Road between 4:30-5 a.m. A porch post was knocked off the foundation and a steel beam was broke on the portable carport along with numerous pots and plants hit in the accident, according to a report filed by the Corinth Police Department. Jennifer R. Swindle, 26, of Iuka, was the driver of the 2002 Chevrolet VTR that backed into Davis’ driveway while delivering a morning newspaper. The vehicle is registered to Lisa Borden of Iuka.

Today in history Today is Thursday, July 4, the 185th day of 2013. There are 180 days left in the year. This is Independence Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. On this date: In 1802, the United States Military Academy officially opened at West Point, N.Y. In 1831, the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, died in New York City at age 73. In 1872, the 30th president of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, was born in Plymouth, Vt. In 1912, the 48-star American flag, recognizing New Mexico statehood, was adopted. A train wreck near Corning, N.Y., claimed 39 lives. In 1939, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees delivered his famous farewell speech in which he called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” In 1942, Irving Berlin’s musical review “This Is the Army” opened at the Broadway Theater in New York. In 1959, America’s 49-star flag, recognizing Alaskan statehood, was officially unfurled. In 1960, America’s 50-star flag, recognizing Hawaiian statehood, was officially unfurled. In 1976, Israeli commandos raided Entebbe airport in Uganda, rescuing almost all of the passengers and crew of an Air France jetliner seized by pro-Palestinian hijackers. In 1982, the space shuttle Columbia concluded its fourth and final test flight with a smooth landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne married his manager, Sharon Arden, in Maui, Hawaii. In 1987, Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo chief known as the “Butcher of Lyon,” was convicted by a French court of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison. Ten years ago: A speaker claiming to be Saddam Hussein called on Iraqis in a taped message to rally behind antiU.S. resistance. President George W. Bush visited Dayton, Ohio, to praise the work of U.S. troops and celebrate the 100th anniversary of flight in the hometown of the Wright brothers. Five years ago: Former Sen. Jesse Helms, a champion of the conservative movement who’d spent three combative decades in Congress, died in Raleigh, N.C., at age 86. Dara Torres completed her improbable Olympic comeback at age 41, making the U.S. team for the fifth time by winning the 100 freestyle at the trials in Omaha, Neb. One year ago: Scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research in Geneva, where the world’s biggest atom smasher is located, cheered the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or “God particle.”

year, the runners have set a goal of raising over $50,000 by December. The team mission begins Saturday with a road block planned at the Harper Road and Fulton Drive intersection red light. “No amount is too small,” said Smith. “If anyone who normally gives a regular donation wants to donate, they can by giving a check to an area runner who is raising money and they will get a tax deduction.” In return, the runner will receive credit toward the goal and the hospital will still get the money. Individuals who write a check to the cause will be mailed a receipt from St. Jude. Heroes have their own fundraising website, entry to the Heroes race-day lounge and an opportunity to earn great prizes — not to mention the chance to make a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and other deadly diseases. St. Jude Heroes are people committed to raising funds on behalf of the research hospital in Memphis, Tenn. Runners can compete in either a 5K, half marathon or marathon event the first Saturday in December. In the past, Team Corinth has raised money through such events as yard sales and bake sales. Over five years, the group has brought in over $121,000 for the children of the hospital. To donate online go to http://heroes.stjude.org/ teamcorinth

“It is getting a little dry, even though we’ve had some rain recently,” said Ricky Gibens, county fire coordinator. “I would encourage people to stay away from residential areas and fields with tall grass. Open asphalt and dirt would be the best places.” It’s best to have a garden hose and a bucket of water handy, he said. Gibens also advises to follow the directions on the packaging

of fireworks and to provide adult supervision when fireworks are in the hands of youngsters. “Enjoy yourself but do it safely,” he said. Statistics show why it is important: The Fourth of July is the single day with the most fires every year — double that of an average day — and fireworks account for 40 percent of those fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association. According to the state fire marshal’s office, the period of June 29 to July 9, 2012, had 56

fires caused by fireworks. No one was injured. “Be sure to use common sense when handling any type of fireworks,” said Fire Marshal Mike Chaney, “and be especially cautious where young children are concerned, as statistics show children ages 5 to 9 and teens 15 to 19 are two times more at risk for injury.” As an alternative to using consumer fireworks, officials encourage people to consider attending a public fireworks display.

want a better community for their daughter, 15-year-old Morgan, to grow up in. After complaining about the problems he saw in the city including the loss of industry during the past decade he was encouraged to step up and run for office. “I was complaining about all that and one of my friends said, you’ve got a lot of ideas but the only way to change things is to throw your hat in the ring and see what happens,” he said. Blythe believes the mayor’s primary role is to serve as the point person for the city. “You’re the mouth and the feet of the board. The board sets the policy and procedures,” he said. The mayor’s job is to run the day-to-day operations of the city and represent the city to visitors and potential employers, he explained. “The mayor is there day in day out. If somebody’s got a problem it goes to to the department head and then to the mayor. The mayor is also there to meet and greet potential industries and potential visitors. You’ve got to have the right mentality for that,” he said. He believes the job is all about communication, both within the city government and between the city and the people of Booneville. He intends to be accessible and wants everyone to know they can always come to him and he will be available to listen. He won’t require appointments just to come talk to him about an issue, he said. “It’s always been open door at my office. I’ll help anybody do anything. I’ll do anything for anybody. I’ll bend over backwards to try to help you. I’ll do what-

ever I can, but I’m limited by what the board will allow me to do and what the law will allow me too,” he said. Blythe’s number one priority is improving the local economy and he believes the first step is simply deciding to do it. “You’ve got be aggressive, number one. You’ve got to want to do it,” said the mayor. He wants to work closely with county leaders and to reach out to leaders in surrounding cities and counties that have seen success to better understand what they’ve done to be successful and what the city can do to make itself more attractive to potential employers. “We’ve got to know what our competition is doing and what industries are looking for. If that’s supposedly happening in Prentiss County, why aren’t we growing,” he asked. He also wants to see the city go after more grants and to hire grant writers specializing in each type of grant who can boost the chances of successfully bringing in grant funds. He cites Baldwyn’s recent success in obtaining grants for improvements in its downtown as an example of what’s possible.

“When you do research, the grants are there. You’ve just got to go after them,” he said. He understands grant specialists get a percentage of what they bring in but he believes its worth it for what they can achieve. “Yes, you’re going to pay those people a percentage of the grant, but that’s money you didn’t have when you started,” he said. He also wants the city to become more attractive to both young people and older residents with more recreational and entertainment opportunities. He praised Judy George for the recent opening of the A Place of Our Own senior citizens activity center and said he wants to see more of that time of activity. He also wants more for the younger generation and hopes to see a movie theater or other youth oriented activities to give both teenagers and college students more reasons to stay in town instead of leaving to find something to do. “What scares me the most is my daughter, who will turn 16 in December, getting in her car driving to Tupelo or Corinth to go see a movie or go out to eat. We need those things here,”

he said. He wants to take advantage of the large impact the students attending Northeast Mississippi Community College can have on the economy as well. “We’ve got one thing in our community that every community in North Mississippi would love to have and that’s Northeast Mississippi Community College. Why are we not working to maximize those students, capture those students. They’re kids. They’re going to want to do something,” said Blythe. The mayor believes the city’s park system can also be a major force in boosting the economy. “I want to really work on our park system. I think if we could get our park system, bring it up a couple of notches, we could attract visitors,” he said. Large tournaments can

bring in huge numbers of visitors from out of town who will spend money in the community and boost the tax base. Encouraging investment in the downtown area is also a priority. He recalled opening his original chiropractic office at the corner of Washington and First streets and how there were restaurants and shops nearby that brought people into the downtown area. He wants to see that same type of activity again. He said he’d like to see some streets changed to one-way to make parking easier and to encourage small restaurants and other businesses to locate in the area. “I want it to be walking friendly so people can park and go to shops, have a meal. I truly believe you can attract business downtown. Right now, rent’s cheap, buildings are cheap,” he said.

Corinth, Miss.

Mississippi plans ahead for zombie apocalypse After more than 30 years of reading think tank “white paper” analyses of so many indices of economic or social progress where Mississippi lags at or near last place among the states, here’s one category where the Magnolia State leads the pack. We’re No. 1! Mississippi ranks dead last (get it, “dead” last!) in the U.S. rate of cremation. A recent Time magazine piece on the rising popularity of cremation over traditional burials or entombments pointed out that while Nevada had a Sid Salter cremation rate of a whopping 74 percent, the Deep South Columnist has been exceedingly slow to “warm up” (sorry, hard to stop…) to cremation. The magazine writers offered this explanation: “The U.S.’s history has a predominantly Christian nation has arguably been the one true barrier holding cremation back. That helps explain why there are still fewer cremations in the South than any other region in the U.S. (The book of Revelation in the New Testament foretells a time when a trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ shall rise first as Jesus returns. It doesn’t say anything about the dead rising from their (urns).” The article goes on to point out that it was only in 1997 when the Catholic Church allowed cremated remains to be part of a funeral mass and the cremation is widely considered forbidden by both Islam and Judaism. “Even Billy Graham has said there’s nothing in the Bible that forbids it. That’s helped make the practice more acceptable in the Bible Belt, the one region where cremation has yet fully to take hold.” Given the turn the popular culture in the country has taken, perhaps being last in cremation has some advantages. Let me remind you, gentle reader, that Season Three finale of the AMC television series “The Walking Dead” is currently the most popular show on television. The show, based on the comic book series of the same title, is the tale of as sheriff’s deputy who awakens from a coma to find himself wandering in a post-apocalyptic world dominated by zombies. Zombies, of course, in this context are of the flesh-eating variety. But one only has to observe the staggering, halting gait or hear the guttural noises made by of the average zombie for a time to deduce that they can easily be mistaken for, in no certain order: 1) College students filing into 8 a.m. classes; 2) Late-night boozy revelers on Bourbon Street or at the Neshoba County Fair trying to navigate a path back to their places of abode; or, 3) Children called back into class from recess. It’s not just television, either. The new Brad Pitt film “World War Z” is based on the brilliant Max Brooks fake history of a mysterious epidemic that overtakes the planet and produces zombies. But these zombies are more animated — pretend the TV show is called “The Running, Swarming Dead.” At any rate, Mississippi’s status as the state least likely to choose cremation over traditional burials or entombments positions us perfectly for the zombie apocalypse to come — be it of the walking or running variety. Nevada, with 74 percent cremation rates, not so much. I’ve had lots of friends buried or entombed and I’ve had several cremated. I’m hoping to see most all of them again, but I admit that I’d rather forego the zombie apocalypse and just cut straight to a heavenly reunion replete with soft clouds, harps and streets paved with gold. I trust the good Lord can raise us just as easily from an urn shaped like a Green Bay Packers helmet as he can from one of the Batesville Casket Company’s coffins. But one thing’s for certain — if the zombie apocalypse does come, Mississippians will be all dressed up and ready to go in remarkably large numbers.

America was built by glorious failures BY ROGER SIMON (This award-winning column by Roger Simon first appeared on July 4, 1976, and has been reprinted every year since.) I have done some pretty awful things in the name of journalism. I have rushed up to interview mothers who have lost children, husbands who have lost wives, families shattered by a variety of emotional and physical calamities. All reporters do these things. We wear a protective cloak of professional indifference while we write the names and ages and addresses in our notebooks. The deed is done quickly and quickly forgotten. But I am going to have a hard time forgetting a long, cinder-block corridor in a small Wisconsin town that led to a bare, large room where eight girls sat on folding chairs facing a television set. No accident had befallen these girls. No one had died or gone to jail or been shot. What had happened to them, instead, is just about the worst thing that can happen to a person in this country. They had failed. They had wanted to be Miss America, and now they never would be. I had spent three days

in Oshkosh, Wis., talking to the girls entered in the Miss Wisconsin Pageant, the final step before Atlantic City, where the winner would meet fame, fortune and Bert Parks. I had come to do a magazine article on the American Dream, and I saw the contestants go through endless hours of walking up and down a stage wearing evening gowns and bathing suits, trying not to wobble on high heels while the same thoughts ran through their heads: “What if I trip? What if I faint? What if I throw up?” Their workdays were 18 hours long. And wherever they went, they smiled. But on the last night, the smiling stopped. The names of the finalists were read, and the eight losers ran offstage and were lead to a room. I walked past the door to that room three or four times before I could make myself go in. They swiveled on their chairs to look at me. I had gotten to know them by the names of the Wisconsin towns they represented, and that is the way I think of them still. Miss Watertown, who had the brightest smile and the cheeriest outlook during the contest, spoke one of the two thoughts that were

dominating each of their minds. “I just feel bad for my town,” she said, fiddling with the hem of her gown. “I feel I let them down. I feel I let all the people down.” Miss Sheboygan, the girl I secretly had been rooting for, spoke the second thought. “I don’t know how I will face the people who came here to see me,” she said. I wish I could have told them then what I feel now. That they had branded themselves as failures in a nation whose national religion is success. They were true dreamers of the American Dream and now they were paying for it. And it is ironic, considering our nation’s history, that this should be true. America was a country founded by failures who could not get along in the Old World and who came to a wilderness because there was simply no place else to go. America was a country settled by failures -- pioneers who could not adjust to the crowded life of the Eastern Seaboard and who went West because there was no place else for them. America was a country built by failures -- men and women who never attained the dream of owning their own business and being

their own boss. Men and women whose lives were ruled by the alarm clock in the morning and the factory whistle in the evening. Years and years of history books have taught us that America was shaped by the great deeds of great men and women. It was not. America was shaped by the great deeds of ordinary men and women. On the Fourth of July, 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War, I refused to stand up for the playing of the national anthem. I didn’t know then what I have learned since. That America always has been better than its government, that its people have always been more decent than their presidents, and that the strength and greatness of this nation lies in them, the men and women who are not great and who never will be. So on this Fourth of July -- for Miss Watertown and Miss Sheboygan and for all the other glorious failures who have made and sustained this country -- on this day, I stand for them. (Daily Corinthian columnist Roger Simon is Politico’s chief political columnist. His new e-book is “Reckoning: Campaign 2012 and the Fight for the Soul of America.”)

Frederick Douglass was a self-made man Frederick Douglass gave one of the great July Fourth orations in American history. Speaking in Rochester, N.Y., in 1852, he hailed the accomplishments and ideals of the Founders, before denouncing the nation’s departures from the faith of the Declaration of Independence with the righteousness and fury of an Old Testament prophet. Congress just placed a statue of Frederick Douglass in the Capitol. It may be the best thing it does all year. Douglass is one of the nation’s greatest champions of freedom. The former slave fought for it for himself and for others, and in his speeches and writings left a record of devotion to liberty that will echo through all time. “Not even such justly canonized Founding Fathers as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson,” the late critic Albert Murray argues, “represent a more splendid image and pattern for the contemporary American citizen. On balance, not even Abraham Lincoln was a more heroic embodiment of the American as self-made man. After

all, Lincoln, like Franklin and Jefferson, was born free.” In his youth as Rich a slave on Lowery the Eastern Shore of National M a r y l a n d , Review Douglass looked at the sailboats on the Chesapeake with envy, as he wrote later in his first memoir: “You are freedom’s swift-winged angels that fly round the world. I am confined in bands of iron! O that I were free! O, that I were on one of your gallant decks, and under your protecting wing!” Douglass forged his own freedom through shrewdness and will. When the wife of a household he was serving began innocently to teach him to read, her husband rebuked her: “A n----- should know nothing but to obey his master -- to do as he is told to do. Learning would spoil the best n----- in the world. Now, if you teach that n----- how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would forever unfit him to be a slave.”

That was all Douglass needed to know. “From that moment, I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom,” he said. “I set out with high hope, and a fixed purpose, at whatever cost of trouble, to learn how to read.” He traded his bread to white boys in exchange for their reading lessons, and devoured the collection of classic speeches, The Columbian Orator. Its writings in opposition to all oppression “gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my own soul.” In a turning point, he fought back against a slave breaker who sought to beat him. “You have seen how a man was made a slave,” he writes of this act of self-assertion, “you shall see how a slave was made a man.” Eventually, his master hired him out in Baltimore and took the proceeds -- but not quite all. He might let him keep 6 cents of the $6 he earned in a week. “I regarded it,” Douglass writes, “as a sort of admission of my right to the whole.” By now, he was a slave only in form, not in fact, as he puts it. All that was left was to make his escape.

In the North, he became a fierce abolitionist and an evangelist for work and selfimprovement. In his most popular lecture, titled “SelfMade Men,” he declared, “We may explain success mainly by one word and that word is WORK! WORK!! WORK!!! WORK!!!! Not transient and fitful effort, but patient, enduring, honest, unremitting, and indefatigable work, into which the whole heart is put.” In his legendary July Fourth oration, he said this holiday “is yours, not mine,” and lashed the country for the national sin of slavery. But he honored the country’s founding, in words that will always be true. “The 4th of July is the first great fact in your nation’s history -- the very ringbolt in the chain of your yet undeveloped destiny,” he declared. “Cling to this day -- cling to it, and to its principles, with the grasp of a storm-tossed mariner to a spar at midnight.” (Daily Corinthian columnist and editor the National Review, Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@sign)nationalreview.com.)

Delay stirs worries about health law WASHINGTON â€” The sudden delay of a major part of President Barack Obamaâ€™s historic health care overhaul is raising questions about other potential problems lurking in the homestretch. The requirement that many employers provide coverage is just one part of a complex law. But its one-year postponement has taken administration allies and adversaries alike by surprise. White House officials said Wednesday that the delay was firm and wonâ€™t be extended after a year â€” and that the overhaul will still be fully implemented by the time Obama leaves office. But the officials, who were not authorized to discuss internal deliberations on the record and spoke only on condition of anonymity, wouldnâ€™t rule out delays or tweaks to other provisions. The White House action means that some companies that would have offered health insurance next year to avoid fines will not do so now. Theyâ€™re mainly firms with many low-wage workers, such as restaurants, hotels and temporary staffing companies. The workers, however, will still be able to get coverage. Many may qualify for subsidized insurance through new marketplaces to debut Oct. 1, less than three months away. The fact that new problems are popping up at this late stage could be

a sign of additional troublesome issues ahead. It underscores a recent warning by the Government Accountability Office that the â€œtimely and smoothâ€? rollout of the new insurance markets canâ€™t be guaranteed, partly because much of the technology to run them hasnâ€™t been fully tested. The timing of the announcement was also widely mentioned. â€œItâ€™s understandable that when you announce a change in the law just before the Fourth of July holiday, it raises questions,â€? said Drew Altman, president of the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. â€œCritics will jump on it and use it as more ammunition against the law.â€?

Taco Bell customers get cash, not food GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â€” That was no burrito. Three people who ordered food at a Taco Bell drive-through in western Michigan got something more valuable: $3,600 in cash. A Taco Bell employee mistakenly passed the cash to the trio instead of their food Saturday. The money was returned a short time later. Kennidi Rue said she and two friends thought about keeping the money but decided they would feel guilty if they didnâ€™t return it. Grand Rapids police Capt. Jeff Hertel confirmed the incident, saying an officer was called to assist. â€œI thought it was a joke,â€? said Rue, 18, of Holland, Mich. â€œI thought

we were on camera. ... The store manager literally just burst out in tears.â€? Rue, boyfriend Grant Kruse, 20, and another friend, Luke Postma, 25, got their meal when they returned the money. Kruse and Postma are National Guard members who were in Grand Rapids for training. Â

First lady hosts â€˜state dinnerâ€™ for kid chefs WASHINGTON â€” Junior chefs from across the nation touting their best recipes will meet at the White House next week for the second kidsâ€™ â€œstate dinner.â€? Michelle Obama will welcome 54 children to the executive mansion on July 9 for creating winning recipes as part of a healthy lunch contest. The youngsters will dine on the top dishes at their â€œstate dinnerâ€? luncheon and tour the White House vegetable garden. Some of the winning recipes include sushi salad, sweet potato turkey sliders, hidden veggie lasagna, salmon fried rice, garden stir-fry, chicken masala wraps and confetti spring rolls. More than 1,300 children ages 8 to 12 entered the second Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, which asked them and their parents to create nutritious lunch dishes representing each of the food groups. The challenge, created by Epicurious.com, supports the first ladyâ€™s â€œLetâ€™s Moveâ€? initiative to address childhood obesity with healthier eating and physical fitness.

VCVB halts cannon etiquette brochures VICKSBURG â€” A breach of cannon etiquette on the cover of the latest visitors guide has prompted the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau to stop further orders of the publication and remake it. The cover photograph features two children climbing on the cannon by the Mississippi Welcome Center, which is part of the Vicksburg National Military Park. VNMP officials said park rules forbid the climbing or sitting on monuments. â€œThat photo was selected because it was artistic and multigenerational. We did not know about the rule,â€? bureau executive director Bill Seratt told the Vicksburg Post. â€œWe will never use that photo again.â€? Seratt said 50,000 copies of the guide were printed at a cost of $22,000. They are sent to state welcome centers, local visitor centers and by mail to prospective tourists. After the Convention and Visitors Bureau received complaints about the cover, Seratt said no more brochures were ordered from the printer.Â

Bailey has been in the department for his entire nine year career, serving as a sergeant since 2010, the departmentâ€™s K-9 officer since 2012 and served as the DUI officer for four years. Aldermen approved his promotion Tuesday. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that Bailey had been acting leader of the department since June 12. Police Chief Steve Brooks formally retired June 30. The other two officers, Assistant Chief Prentiss Brown and Officer Mark Roberts, are still suspended with pay. Excluding the departmentâ€™s two suspended officers,it has six fulltime officers and six part-time and reserve officers.

Insurance system could lead to fines JACKSON â€” A contractor projects a sys-

tem to instantly verify whether Mississippians have auto insurance will lead to fines of more than $150 million a year being collected over the programâ€™s first three years The computer system was supposed to launch July 1, but was delayed by a vendor selection dispute and now isnâ€™t scheduled to roll out statewide until 2014. The system is meant to allow county tax collectors and law enforcement officers to check whether someone is insured. But itâ€™s also supposed to eventually generate automatic tickets to anyone whom records indicate hasnâ€™t bought a policy. That wrinkle isnâ€™t present in some other states that have moved to online insurance verification. A 2009 study estimated that 28 percent of Mississippi drivers are uninsured, the most in the nation.

Bailey named Saltillo police chief SALTILLO â€” Police Sgt. Grant Bailey has been promoted to police chief by the Saltillo Board of Aldermen.

Ex-officer pleads guilty to bribery JACKSON — A former Jackson Police Department narcotics officer pleaded guilty Wednesday to bribery for his role in a scheme to help a man get a reduced sentence in a drug case in exchange for $45,000. Robert Nikita Shegog wore a dark suit and answered the judge’s questions with short answers when he pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Jackson. He told the court that two other officers were involved in the scheme, though their names were not mentioned during the hearing. There was some confusion about how the money was supposed to have been split between the three officers. Shegog, 40, initially told the court that the plan was to split the money three ways. He later told the court that his cut was supposed to be $5,000 in cash or a commercial lawnmower,

and that the rest of the money would be split by the other officers. In return, they would tell the district attorney’s office that a man facing drug charges was an informant in other cases so that the suspect could get a reduced sentence on a drug charge, authorities say. No details were provided about the suspect’s identity or what kind of drug charge he was facing. Shegog faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing, which is scheduled for Sept. 12. U.S. Attorney Gregory K. Davis said after the hearing that the investigation is ongoing and declined to provide information about the other officers. The case is being investigated by the FBI. Another former officer, Tony Davis, was indicted on a similar bribery charge on Oct. 3, according to court filings.

Sentencing delay sought for ex-trooper OXFORD — An attorney asked a federal judge to delay the July 15 sentencing for a former Mississippi state trooper who pleaded guilty to stomping a woman in the Lee County Jail more than five years ago. Christopher Gary Hughes admitted during his change of plea hearing in February that he deprived the woman

of her constitutional rights to protection from unreasonable force and search and seizure. His sentencing was set for July 15. His attorney says in a court filing that the lawyer has been hospitalized and won’t be available for sentencing. A complaint filed in October in U.S. District Court in north Mississippi alleged that Hughes threw the woman to a concrete floor of the Lee County Detention Center and kicked and stomped her on Oct. 14, 2007.

Asper resigns at USM’s request BILOXI — Dr. Vernon Asper has resigned from the Commission on Marine Resources. Asper said Wednesday that he was following a recommendation from his employer — the University of Southern Mississippi, where he has been a Professor of Marine Sciences for the past 27 years. “The university administration had become concerned that my continued service on the commission was becoming a liability to the university,” Asper said. “They want to keep the university separate from this kind of controversy.” Asper’s 20th year with the commission began July 1. The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources has been a source of contention and

controversy for the past several months. The commission fired Executive Director Bill Walker in February amid ongoing federal and state investigations. Jamie Miller is now the MDMR executive director. Last month, a 60-day review of the MDMR found an overall lack of oversight of the entire department. Recently, the Inspector General’s Office within the U.S. Department of the Interior found irregularities in the administration and disbursement of some $30 million of the $39 million in Coastal Impact Assistance Program funding over a three year period. “The auditor’s report indicated some wide ranging issues with the DMR and I think that caught the university’s attention,” Asper said. “It’s imperative the interests of the university be protected.” Asper submitted his letter of resignation Monday night to Gov. Phil Bryant, who will appoint Asper’s successor, who must also be confirmed by the Mississippi Senate.

Alabama man wins casino jackpot BILOXI — An Alabama man has won a $1.5 million jackpot playing the Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi. The Sun Herald reports that Charles Rhodes of Woodville, Ala., had been playing the penny slot for about 10 minutes Tuesday when he hit the winning combination on the progressive machine. Rhodes says the machine is his wife’s favorite so they always play it. The recent retiree says he can now enjoy his retirement more with his family, including six grandchildren. IGT technicians and officials with the Mississippi Gaming Commission verified the win. It is the third multimillion-dollar jackpot to hit at Hard Rock Biloxi.

Giving wedding gifts was better the old way Can’t say I’m impressed by the recent trends in wedding gifts. We’ve gotten invitations from folks who, for instance, say they don’t need a single household item. But, the invitation adds, if you’d like to contribute toward their honeymoon trip, please feel free to do so .... Frankly, that almost makes me wonder if I’m being invited to the celebration because they want my presence in the crowd of beaming well-wishers. Or if they’d be just as happy if I sent a check and stayed at home. I get a similar impression when the invitation includes a list of stores where the happy couple is registered online. Yes, I know: This is a sensible and convenient option, especially when we’re given a list of gifts the affianced pair chose themselves. Perhaps it’s better than buying the same old crockpot or toaster oven

everybody else has bought them, too. I stood in line at the “Returns” Ryland desk at a Bruhwiler retail store the other Columnist day behind a young couple loaded down with boxed appliances and casserole sets. “Wedding gifts?” I asked. They nodded with rueful smiles. I’ll admit it’s also nice not having to bother buying fancy wrapping paper and all that folderol. A pretty card will do, with the gift card tucked inside. Or buy a virtual gift online -- and let the company email a message saying you purchased a super duper crockpot in their name. Then they can “return” that crockpot (again online) and get those dollars credited to their ac-

count -- to help them buy the gas-fired grill they really wanted. Or a set of golf clubs. Whatever. But you gotta admit it takes the fun out of shopping. For years I’ve kept a cache of “possibles,” waiting for the perfect bride and groom to come along for each gift I’ve stashed away. There’s the set of antique parfait glasses I’m sure somebody would be crazy about. Ditto for the pint-sized crock (not a crock pot, mind you) with the rounded bottom that’ll whip a cup of cream in nothing flat if you set it in the freezer half an hour before. The other side of the coin is the pleasure I get, for instance, when I carry my morning cup of coffee upstairs to my study on the little tray with the Oriental design and remember — time after time — this was a wedding gift from my friend Helen. It was utterly appropriate, not just because she was

Korean, but because we carried many a cocktail and cup of coffee on trays that size (though not as pretty) at the Luau restaurant in Memphis where for seven years I worked my way through school. Or take the set of cannisters marked Flour, Sugar, Tea and Coffee. After almost 35 years of use, they’re a bit dented and a little rusty around the rims, but their warm browns and golds and dashing script are still pleasing to the eye. Not a one carries the contents its label describes, but I know to reach for the Flour when I need to scoop out half a cup of sugar to add to boiling water for my hummingbirds every other day. And almost every time I think of Gail and Lisa, who hardly knew me, really, but bought that handsome set together. Gail was my Aunt Sally’s husband’s brother’s wife; Lisa was her daughter

by her first marriage. We met on rare occasions at extended family gatherings. Years later, my brother Dean admitted he’d had a crush on Lisa when they were in grade five or thereabouts. Thought she was the prettiest thing he’d ever seen. And was crushed all over again when he realized they were cousins (sorta, anyway). Because he didn’t think you were supposed to “fall in love” with cousins. He had good taste. Both Lisa and her mom weren’t just pretty women. They had a depth of kindness that made their faces glow. Though it’s been decades since our paths have crossed, I cannot tell you how often they’ve crossed my mind -- almost every time I’ve reached for one of those much used cannisters, in fact. And of late years, I’ve often paused for just a moment to send them a prayer. Lisa died of

cancer a while back, leaving three teen-aged daughters of her own and a husband who adored her. My heart’s gone out to them. But I’ve grieved for Gail the most. How can you stand to watch a daughter slip through your hands like water? You’d think it’d make me sad, using those cannisters. Or the quilt -now faded- - my grandmother, long gone -- gave us. Or that oddball butter dish John’s friend Ken bestowed upon us. He, too, died too young. But no, those wedding gifts are constant reminders of our interconnectedness, the fascinating crisscrossing of all those many lives that touched ours way back then and are with us still.

Buddy-cop comedy offers predictable, yet funny story The Heat, R, ***1/2, Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Marlon Wayans, Jane Curtin; Twentieth Century Fox Film; Director Paul Feig; length — 117 minutes The beginning of “The Heat” sets the pace for wild, crazy, offensive language dialogue throughout the story. The audience realizes from the beginning what they are in for. Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is an FBI agent anxious to move to the top of the ladder. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) is a police officer in Boston with a filthy

mouth and a tough attitude. Ashburn is sent to Boston to locate a Terry drug boss Burns and has to work with Movie Critic Mullins. The two opposite personalities do not get off to a good start.

No wonder Mullins is a tough lady. She does not care who she insults with her offensive

verbalization. From her superiors to anyone who gets in her way, she will give them a piece of her mind with foul language and without remorse. By the way, this is definitely a politically incorrect movie in so many ways. If the movie-goers want some risqué humor, this movie could be for

them. Despite the predictable story, Bullock and McCarthy as Ashburn and Mullins do have chemistry together. From chasing bad guys, to discussing life, they provide some funny antidotes. Despite the language, the audience laughed out loud on many occasions. However, the language will be offensive to some. I feel sure they will be seen together again in a sequel. “The Heat” is a movie that makes audiences laugh out loud and provides over the top entertainment. However, if a

viewer feels inclined to mimic the characters’ dialogue, take some soap in order to clean the filth from the mouth.

Attorney says indicted Mississippi lawmaker is innocent BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — An indicted Mississippi lawmaker is in Tennessee on a mission trip to rehabilitate houses for poor people, and he’s expected to return home and turn himself in on an arrest warrant Friday. Authorities revealed Tuesday that a Lee County grand jury had indicted Rep. Brian Aldridge and his parents last month on embezzlement charges. The 36-year-old Tupelo lawmaker was founder and executive director of Touched By An Angel Ministries, a charity that closed after a civil lawsuit claimed money had been

Brian Aldridge’s attorney, T.K. Moffett, said Wednesday that his client never had the power to sign checks for the ministry and hasn’t improperly taken anything. “Brian has not com-

mitted a crime, and I’m shocked at this indictment,” Moffett said. If convicted, Aldridge would have to resign the House seat he has held since 2004. The Republican represents District 17, which is entirely in northeast Mississippi’s Lee County. Sheriff Jim Johnson told The Associated Press that his office was in touch with the lawmaker Tuesday and Wednesday. The sheriff said Aldridge has agreed to return to Lee County on an arrest warrant: “We’re looking at Friday.” During a special legislative session last week, Aldridge told an AP reporter that his younger sister

was going on a mission to Tennessee to help repair houses for poor people. Moffett confirmed Wednesday that Aldridge is on the same mission. The lawmaker’s parents, Louis Aldridge, 64, and Janice Aldridge, 61, are divorced. The sheriff said they were arrested separately Tuesday, and each was released on $5,000 bond. In 2012, a chancery court judge ordered Brian Aldridge to pay more than $200,000 to his aunt, whose estate was drained by his father after some of her money was funneled through Touched By An Angel Ministries. Brian Aldridge has appealed that order, asking

the Mississippi Supreme Court to overturn it. That order came in a civil lawsuit that the aunt, Florence Aldridge, filed against the lawmaker and his parents after she lost more than $522,000 from her estate. Louis Aldridge is Florence Aldridge’s brother-in-law, and he held power of attorney over the estate. He also was once the chief financial officer of his son’s charity. Moffett said the lawsuit caused Touched By An Angel Ministries to close.

“He has not profited from that ministry,” Moffett said of Brian Aldridge. A spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office sent AP copies of the indictments of Louis Aldridge and Janice Aldridge, which showed the alleged embezzlement occurred between 2005 and 2007. The indictments became public records on Tuesday when arrest warrants were served. However, the prosecutors had redacted the name of the alleged victim.

He Did This for You I’ll never forget my wedding day. It was a beautiful day. Jennifer and I decided we would like to get married on the beach in her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida, so we found the perfect spot to hold the ceremony. The location was great. However, there is another reason why I’ll never forget my wedding day. It’s also the day I set my hand on fire. Okay, so let me explain before you laugh! You see, it was my job to set up the tiki torches that lined the walkway through the sand that extended from the parking lot to the beach front. Somehow in the process of filling the torches with fuel I managed to spill fuel on my hand. I was in such a hurry, racing against the clock before the ceremony that I hadn’t even noticed. It was only until I went back to the first torch and lit the lighter that I had realized the ‘error of my ways’. I quickly became two people at once; the panicked patient, as well as the cool professional. Luckily, when you’re on the beach, there is an abundance of one thingsand. Lots and lots of sand. So I did what any other person would do; I buried my hand in the sand and smothered the flame. After burying my hand, I wanted to bury my head. Luckily, aside from some singed arm hair and burned pride, I managed to escape completely unharmed. However, I am not the only bridegroom to sacrifice a hand for his bride. There’s no doubt that Christ was a powerful man, both physically and spiritually. He gained his physical strength doing the demanding work of a carpenter. Rather than feel a nail pierce his flesh, he could have felt the hand of an angel lift him gently off that cross. But he didn’t. And do you know why? He allowed himself to suffer because of his love for his bride (Ephesians 5:25-27). Christ was not focused on his immediate well-being, but on the long-term well-being of his bride (Rev. 21:1,2). In my mind, he didn’t so much as flinch when he saw the nail but rather said, “Bring it on.” When they cast lots for his clothes in John 19:23, he thought, “You can have them. I’m trading them in for robes that are white as snow soon.” When they put a crown made of thorns upon his head, he accepted it because he knew he would soon trade it for a ‘Crown of Righteousness’ (2 Tim. 4:8). When they sealed his tomb, he thought, “Don’t worry, my Father will open it again in three days. He’s got a key to every door.” Christ did all this because of a love for his bride, which is the church (Romans 16:16). And you know what the best part of all of this is? It’s not the fact that he didn’t call on the angels. It’s not the fact that he rose again on the third day and left his tomb. Rather, it’s the fact that he did it for you. In the scheme of things, lighting my hand on fire on my wedding day doesn’t even compare to the sacrifice Christ made for his bride. As a matter of fact, we didn’t even use the tiki torches because I confused the directions and had lined the wrong walkway, thereby making my ‘sacrifice’ pointless. Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t pointless. He held his hand open for you.

IPOs heating up The stock market rose to a record high in the second quarter and companies sought to tap that momentum. Sixty one made their initial public stock offerings to raise a collective $13 billion. It was the busiest quarter for IPOs in nearly six years, according to Renaissance Capital. The activity was a stark contrast to the 31 debuts in the second quarter of 2012. The market looks healthier, in part,

because a year ago IPOs ground to a halt following the botched Facebook IPO. Nasdaq agreed to pay a $10 million penalty for its role in Facebookâ€™s $16 billion debut. Noodles & Company went public last week but already is a standout. The stock of the fast-casual restaurant closed Wednesday at $45.00, up 150 percent from its initial price of $18.

When the market reopens tomorrow, investors will turn their focus to the governmentâ€™s monthly employment report. Economists forecast that the U.S. economy added 165,000 jobs in June. That would be a decline from the 175,000 jobs added in May. The Federal Reserve has said the jobs market will be critical in determining when it ends its bond-buying program, which has kept interest rates low and has helped drive a surge in stocks this year.

Unemployment unchanged? Did the nationâ€™s unemployment rate improve last month? Tune in tomorrow when the Labor Department issues its latest data on U.S. joblessness.

The government doesnâ€™t count people as unemployed unless they are looking for jobs. Economists anticipate the rate didnâ€™t budge last month.

Mother-in-law’s nightly calls invade couple’s private time DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married 14 years. During that time her mother has called every single day. Initially, I was OK with it because we were living in Florida and she was in Iowa. However, since we moved back to Iowa to be near her (we live three miles apart), she continues to call nightly. Sometimes she’ll call during dinner or during our “couple’s time” after the kids are asleep. I have expressed my dissatisfaction with this, particularly because my wife and MIL see each other and talk throughout the day. Am I out of line to ask for family/couple time during which no outside calls come in, or am I being unreasonable? This is a touchy subject, and I don’t know how to resolve it to everyone’s satisfaction. — BOTHERED IN THE HAWKEYE STATE DEAR BOTHERED: With whom is this a touchy subject? Your wife? Her mother? The two of them? Considering that your mother-in-law lives close by and that she and your wife talk during the day, they appear to be excessively dependent upon each other. As a partner in your marriage, you have the right to a quiet family dinner and private time with your spouse. If your wife can’t bring herself to get that message across to her mother, then

you should set a time after which “ M a m a ” should refrain from calling unless it’s an Abigail emergency. D E A R Van Buren ABBY: After years Dear Abby of traveling overseas, I have finally found a wonderful way of getting rid of unwanted foreign coins the banks won’t exchange. Please let your readers know they can put their leftover coins to good use by mailing them to UNICEF’S Change for Good program. — PAT IN COLORADO DEAR PAT: I’m glad you wrote because so many people travel outside the country during the summer months. Readers, when travelers return from an international vacation, many are shocked to find that banks change only foreign paper currency back into U.S. money, so they are left with pockets full of coins that can’t be spent. UNICEF’S Change for Good program (which is supported by some airlines) collects donated coins and uses the money to support disaster relief programs worldwide, as well as programs benefiting children in

areas that include education, water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS and child protection. Those interested in participating in this worthwhile effort should send their coins to: U.S. Fund for UNICEF, ATTN: Change for Good Program, 125 Maiden Lane, New York, N.Y. 10038. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I disagree about privacy. He believes he should have the password to my email and Facebook accounts. I have nothing to hide, but I think I’m entitled to my privacy. Can you settle this for us? — PRIVATE IN BATTLE CREEK DEAR PRIVATE: Probably not. Everyone is entitled to privacy, and being private doesn’t necessarily mean you have something to hide. Your husband may want to look at your postings because he doesn’t completely trust you. Or he may have no interests of his own. No third party can settle this tugof-war with so little information about what else may be going on in your relationship. TO MY READERS: Happy Fourth of July, everyone! (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). The multimedia artist Robert Zend suggested, “There are too many people and not enough human beings.” You might disagree as you go about your business and see the best part of the human spirit prevail. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When one opportunity ends, another opens up. You’re focused on the big picture now and not so worried about the details. New relationships will be formed. Better matches are always being made. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In your philosophical mood, you’ll ponder much, so ponder this: If you think you’re happy, you are. If you think you’re rich, you are. If you think you’re in love, you are. But if you think you’re wise, this is a sign to get humble. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Courage is tested in the face of obvious danger and risk. But it is also tested in smaller, less noticeable ways in the face of the unknown and unknowable of daily life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll connect via breezy exchanges. Talking to friends will be easy. Talking to people you don’t know will be exciting. Both will be beneficial to you in the future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you experience something marvelous, you sometimes wish you could own it for yourself. But possession can be ruinous. It limits your freedom and comes with too much responsibility. Consider all of your options. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you pick your battles, don’t pick the one going on inside your own heart. It’s better to sit that one out and remain neutral while the forces settle the score on their own. Be at peace. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll feel loved — don’t take it for granted. The love you receive will outlast most everything else in life. Bonus: You don’t have to keep this treasure of love in a locked safe, because it can’t be stolen from you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You don’t need to understand everything about the universe. You just need to learn a little more every day, which makes you feel as though you are fulfilling a profound purpose of the human spirit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A bell cannot ring when it is being held; that mutes the vibration, and no sound will come of it. You’ll consider how you might unclasp your hands and “let freedom ring” in your own life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll get to decide where to put your time, energy and money. Invest in goodness. Whatever happens after that will be an excellent return on your investment, because goodness never fails. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make no promises. Happiness is a loose schedule. Having to be certain places at certain times — or worse, having to be accountable for getting other people where they need to be at a certain time — will be too limiting.

MLB Players Survey

Jason Kipnis, Cleveland The Indians’ second baseman moved closer to solidifying his spot on the All-Star team last week with nine runs, 10 RBIs, a .478 average and 1.650 OPS. He also had eight walks, which boosted his OBP to .606 for the week.

Jeremy Hellickson, Tampa Bay The righthander tossed seven shutout innings to end Toronto’s 12-game winning streak. He followed that with a six-inning effort with only one run allowed in a win over the Tigers.

Buster Posey, San Francisco Where would the Giants be without their catcher? He hit safely in all six games last week and drove in every San Francisco run during a three-game stretch.

Stephen Fife, Los Angeles The Dodgers’ righthander won two games last week, and one of them included seven shutout innings against Philadelphia. Over Fife’s most recent six starts, he’s allowed as many as three runs just once.

Buster Posey

AMERICAN LEAGUE

(starting lineup and batting order) LEFT FIELD Mike Trout, Los Angeles The rising superstar isn’t having quite the season he put together last year, but he’s the best outfielder in the AL. SECOND BASE Dustin Pedroia, Boston There are several reasons the Red Sox quickly erased their struggles from a year ago, but Pedroia has had the biggest impact. THIRD BASE Miguel Cabrera, Detroit There is currently no Cabrera-Trout debate for MVP this season — it’s all Miggy, who has 82 RBIs through the Tigers’ first 80 games. FIRST BASE Chris Davis, Baltimore Actually, the MVP debate may be Davis-Cabrera, if there is a debate. Baltimore’s first baseman leads the majors with 31 home runs. CENTER FIELD Adam Jones, Baltimore Acquired in a heist from Seattle for pitcher Erik Bedard, Jones has played at an All-Star caliber level for the past five seasons in Baltimore. DH David Ortiz, Boston Big Papi is the best DH alive, perhaps in history. He’s in the top 10 in the AL in average, homers and RBIs.

July 1, 1990 Andy Hawkins of the New York Yankees no-hits the White Sox over eight innings, but drops a 4-0 decision at Comiskey Park. In one disastrous inning, the Yankees commit three errors that lead to four runs, exacerbated by a couple of walks. After two harmless popouts, third baseman Mike Blowers boots Sammy Sosa’s ground ball, then two walks load the bases. Left fielder Jim Leyritz drops a fly ball off the bat of Robin Ventura that allows three runs to score. Right fielder Jesse Barfield’s error on the next play allows a fourth run to score. As an aside, the tough luck continued for Hawkins, who would pitch 11.2 innings in his next start in New York, losing a 2-0 decision.

Pirates Red Sox Cardinals Rangers Braves A’s Orioles Reds Tigers Diamondbacks Indians Rays Rockies Yankees Blue Jays Nationals Angels Padres Giants Dodgers Phillies Royals Twins Mariners Cubs Mets Brewers White Sox Marlins Astros

Can the Bucs avoid another late-season collapse? First AL team to 50 wins this season. Didn’t have a three-game winning streak in June. Seattle and Houston visit Arlington this week. Six games vs. Miami before the All-Star break. Josh Donaldson: .323 w/RISP, 2 outs; rest of team: .209. Lead majors with 115 home runs, last with only five triples. Lost four of five on the road to AL West contenders. Lost 14 of last 22 road games. Citi Field is not a bad place to visit to get back on track. Won 14 of 19 and host Detroit for four key games this weekend. Next 14 games vs. three of the four worst teams in AL. Blew five of eight save opportunities last month. Scored a major league-low 88 runs in June. Tossed a majors-best four shutouts last month. Will not face a team with winning record until after the break. Albert Pujols faces his former team this week. Lost six of eight as offense has struggled. Posey: 35.7% of Giants’ homers and 20.5% of RBIs in June. Men in blue are surging and now only four games out of first. Bullpen has logged the fewest innings in the National League. 12-0 in June when scoring four runs or more. Starting pitching must improve in order to move up standings. Three of last four wins have come in extra innings. 2-9 when playing in front of 40,000 or more. David Wright hit .343 in June, rest of team just .217. 18.5 games behind the Pirates, biggest deficit in majors. June swoon hit South Side pretty hard. Won 11 of last 12 games in which they’ve scored three runs. Six of their last seven wins have been by one run or in extras.

Best General Manager GM, Team

Andrew Friedman, Rays Billy Beane, A’s Theo Epstein, Cubs John Mozeliak, Cardinals Terry Ryan, Twins Brian Sabean, Giants

15.4 8.4 8.4 8.4 8.4 8.4

Notes: Most votes were split evenly across the AL and NL with Beane, Epstein and Sabean receiving exactly the same number of votes in each league, and Friedman received 54.5% of his votes from the AL. But two-thirds of Ryan’s votes came from the AL, and 75% of Mozeliak’s were from the NL.

What Player Would You Take Less Money to Have as a Teammate Player, Team

Mike Trout, Angels Miguel Cabrera, Tigers Derek Jeter, Yankees Justin Verlander, Tigers David Price, Rays Buster Posey, Giants Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox

% 15.2 13.8 6.5 5.8 2.9 2.9 2.9

Notes: Even though he was recovering from a broken ankle during the time of the survey, Derek Jeter received significant support. “No one” received 2.2% of the votes, and interestingly, Frank Menechino, Pete Orr and Drew Meyer a vote each.

Most Deserving All-Stars RIGHT FIELD Nelson Cruz, Texas The Rangers’ right fielder makes the starting lineup because of his ability to hit in the clutch. CATCHER Joe Mauer, Minnesota Okay, maybe his contract is becoming an albatross for Minnesota, but Mauer can still hit and is solid behind the plate. SHORTSTOP Jhonny Peralta, Detroit The candidates at shortstop are few in the American League, but Peralta deserves to start even in a crowded field. Only Cabrera has a higher average on the AL Central leaders. STARTING PITCHER Max Scherzer, Detroit Most fans outside Detroit recognize the name Verlander much more quickly, but Scherzer is the Tigers’ best starter with a 12-0 record. AL RESERVES Sal Perez, C, Kansas City Edwin Encarnacion, 1B, Toronto Howie Kendrick, 2B, Los Angeles Jason Kipnis, 2B, Cleveland Jose Altuve, 2B, Houston Evan Longoria, 3B, Tampa Bay Josh Donaldson, 3B, Oakland Manny Machado, 3B, Baltimore J.J.

(starting lineup and batting order) LEFT FIELD Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado CarGo is on the short list of MVP candidates in the NL. His production could suffer without Troy Tulowitzki in the lineup for the Rockies. CENTER FIELD Andrew McCutchen Pittsburgh Beyond Gonzalez, there are about six outfielders with equal arguments to start. But McCutchen makes the Pirates go and plays terrific defense. DH Joey Votto, Cincinnati Many players believe Votto is the best pure hitter in the game. FIRST BASE Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona The NL RBI leader deserves the start ahead of Votto this season, but maybe never again. THIRD BASE David Wright, New York Quickly becoming Mr. Met in New York. The hometown fans will love seeing their superstar at the hot corner on the 16th.

CATCHER Yadier Molina, St. Louis Widely considered the best defensive catcher in the majors, Yadi leads the NL in batting and has 44 RBIs. The Cardinals’ leader sits atop the MVP list for the first half. SECOND BASE Matt Carpenter, St. Louis Having never played second in the minors, and just 18 innings at the position prior to this season, Carpenter leads all NL second basemen in runs, extra-base hits and OPS. RIGHT FIELD Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee Surprise! The outfielder representing the Brew Crew is not named Braun. SHORTSTOP Jean Segura, Milwaukee In all fairness, Tulowitzki of Colorado deserves to be the All-Star shortstop, having put together a brilliant first half. But being able to take the field is important for an All-Star and Segura is having a stellar season for the Brewers. STARTING PITCHER Matt Harvey, New York Maybe, Adam Wainwright is more de-

serving to start, but not by much. But I can’t resist having the Mets’ youngster throw the first pitch in the midsummer classic in his home ballpark. NL RESERVES Buster Posey, C, San Francisco Allen Craig, 1B, St. Louis Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Brandon Phillips, 2B, Cincinnati Pedro Alvarez, 3B, Pittsburgh Everth Cabrera, SS, San Diego Gerardo Parra, OF, Arizona Jay Bruce, OF, Cincinnati Domonic Brown, OF, Philadelphia Shin-Soo Choo, Cincinnati Michael Cuddyer, OF, Colorado Carlos Beltran, OF, St. Louis Adam Wainwright, P, St. Louis Clayton Kershaw, P, Los Angeles Cliff Lee, P, Philadelphia Patrick Corbin, P, Arizona Jordan Zimmermann, P, Washington Travis Wood, P, Chicago Jose Fernandez, P, Miami Jason Grilli, P, Pittsburgh Craig Kimbrel, P, Atlanta Edward Mujica, P, St. Louis Jonathan Papelbon, P, Philadelphia Aroldis Chapman, P, Cincinnati

Hits with the bases loaded for Brandon Phillips of Cincinnati. In nine at-bats this season, Phillips has six singles, a home run and 15 RBIs. Batting average for the Cardinals’ Yadier Molina after the sixth inning. It is the highest in the majors. At an even .400, James Loney of the Rays is the only other at .400 or better. RBIs for Cubs pitchers Scott Feldman (8) and Travis Wood (7). No other pitcher has more than five this season. Batting average for a Cabrera in June, highest in the majors. But it wasn’t Miguel. It was shortstop Everth of San Diego before he injured a hamstring and missed a couple of weeks. June batting average for the Boston Red Sox, the best in the majors for the month, which helped them increase their lead in the AL East. June batting average for the New York Yankees, better than only the Houston Astros, which caused them to slip to fourth place in the AL East. June record for both the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates, the best in the majors for the month. Athlon Sports

Over the weekend, Chris Davis of the Orioles became the sixth player in history with 31 home runs by the end of June. How many of the other five can you name? Bonus: Can you name the only player to do it twice? TRIVIA ANSWER: Barry Bonds, 39 in 2001; Mark McGwire, 37 in 1998; Sammy Sosa, 33 in 1998; Luis Gonzalez, 32 in 2001; and Ken Griffey Jr. accomplished it twice with 32 in 1994 and 33 in 1998.

On Saturday, MLB will announce the 2013 MLB All-Stars. Or, at least 33 members of each team with another player in each league to be selected by the fans next week. I’m pretty sure I’ll disagree with the fans, who will elect the starting lineups, and most likely will disagree with the managers who select the reserves. Here are the players I believe should be representing their respective leagues in the All-Star Game in New York on July 16. All teams are represented, 34 players, 13 pitchers.

Reds’ Bailey celebrates no-hitter with calls and texts BY MARK SCHMETZER Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Homer Bailey didn’t have much time Tuesday night to celebrate his second career no-hitter. He had to get up early Wednesday to tend to his horses. Cincinnati’s Texas-born right-hander celebrated his no-no against the San Francisco Giants by calling his family while listening to music, he said. He also spent time answering more than 200 text messages from former teammates and current and former major-leaguers — includ-

ing fellow Texan Roger Clemens — while squeezing in a visit to the two horses he stables locally. “I had to get up pretty early,” he said about his low-key celebration while speaking to the media at his cubicle in the Reds’ clubhouse before Wednesday night’s game against the Giants. Former teammates who reached out to Bailey included pitchers Aaron Harang and Kent Mercker and outfielder Laynce Nix, he said, adding that Clemens, a special instructor in Houston’s system, said

he was going to show his young pitchers a video of Bailey’s performance. “He said, ‘Your mechanics and direction were good,’” Bailey said, quoting Clemens. “I said, ‘Go ahead. They’re not in our division anymore.’” Houston was a Reds opponent in the NL Central before shifting to the American League this season. Bailey hadn’t seen any highlights of his performance, the 16th no-hitter in franchise history and one walk away from being a perfect game.

“I had the best seat in the house,” he pointed out. “I didn’t need to watch TV. (High definition) can’t do justice to where I was standing. “When I talked to my dad, the first thing he said was, ‘How’d it go tonight? I recorded it and haven’t had time to watch it yet,’” Bailey added, smiling. “He was joking.” Bailey, who pitched the final no-hitter of last season at Pittsburgh on September 28 before logging the first of this season, did not hear from his idol, Nolan Ryan — another hard-

throwing Texas righthander and the owner of a major-league record seven no-hitters. Ryan, now president of the Texas Rangers, was the last pitcher before Bailey to throw two consecutive no-hitters before another pitcher accomplished the feat. Ryan threw the last no-hitter in 1974 and the first in 1975. Bailey’s next scheduled start is Sunday against Seattle in Cincinnati, the same city where Reds lefthander Johnny Vander Meer threw the first of his two no-hitters in consecu-

tive starts in 1938. Bailey doesn’t like his chances of matching Vander Meer, who threw the second nohitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the first night game at Ebbetts Field. “It’s happened once,” Bailey pointed out. “There aren’t too many things in the history of baseball that have happened only once. You can’t go into the game thinking about it. The first guy will probably get a hit, and that will be the end of it. Let me put it this way — If I were a better man, and I’m not, I wouldn’t bet on it.”

Woman pursues job as NFL ref BY SHERRY LUCAS The Clarion Ledger

JACKSON, Miss. — It’s not about the recognition for Sarah Thomas of Brandon, although she’s getting plenty of it. She’s on track to become the NFL’s first permanent female official, possibly as early as 2014. A finalist in the NFL’s scouting program, Thomas recently finished officiating at the Indianapolis Colts mini-camp. The uniform’s bold black and white stripes and black cap make her indistinguishable from colleagues on the field.“I tuck my hair, and I don’t wear makeup like I do on my 8-to-5 job,” said Thomas, 39, who also works as a pharmaceutical sales representative. “You know, we want to blend in. I want to look a part. And I don’t want any of the attention to be on me. “It’s about the sport and the game. If we as a crew can work a game and go unnoticed and it’s uneventful, we’ve done a great job.” In the NFL’s new officiat-

ing development program, of which Thomas is a part, a select group of finalists gets NFL on-field experience during the offseason, at mini-camps, at training camps and by working preseason games. “This allows us to take a closer look at these officials, get to see how they react to NFL speed and mechanics, and how they adapt to the rules of the NFL game versus the college game,” said Dean Blandino, NFL vice president of officiating. Finalists are next in line when there’s an opening for an NFL game official. Shannon Eastin, among replacements hired during the officials’ lockout, became the first female official in a preseason and regular-season NFL game last year. Thomas could become the first woman to become a permanent NFL game official. Finalists will be evaluated during training camps and preseason games, then return to their college schedules. Next up for Thomas is attending an NFL team training

camp with a group of officials later this summer to work with players and coaches, giving rules presentations and working practices. “Diversity is important,” Blandino said. “It’s one of the core principles of the NFL. ... Having somebody like Sarah as a role model is really just good for the game, and it’s good for women in athletics and officiating.” A college athlete in basketball, Thomas came to football officiating through her older brother, Lea Bailey, 17 years ago. She accompanied him to a football officials’ meeting and was struck by their sense of purpose. “The guys took this serious enough to meet and go over the rules. As a fan, you don’t ever hear of or see that aspect of it. And then, I thought I knew football. But really and truly, I didn’t have any clue,” she said. The challenge piqued her competitive spirit. She went in baby steps. Philosophies, strategies and understanding the game presented a big

learning curve for someone who hadn’t played the sport. With basketball, she understood all aspects. But when she tried her hand officiating basketball, “I found myself wanting to coach the girls, as opposed to officiating. ... I found more fulfillment and challenge from the football aspect of it.” Thomas hasn’t encountered difficulties in this male-dominated terrain, she said. “I think it’s just because I was raised with brothers, and I was always with the guys, playing sports or whatever.” Thomas is a line judge with Conference USA (which includes the University of Southern Mississippi), where she’s been a full-time official for seven years. Female referees aren’t as unusual now as they were when she was first hired, Conference USA officiating coordinator Gerald Austin said. “She was the first one for Division I football.

Vols’ McRae tests himself against best BY STEVE MEGARGEE Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee’s Jordan McRae says he watched last week’s NBA draft without regret. McRae passed up an opportunity to enter the draft and instead returned to school for his senior season. The 6-foot5 guard hasn’t looked back since. “I never wavered,” McRae said. “I said I was coming back, and it was what it was. ... Seeing the draft, it didn’t affect me. I’m here to stay.” Although he won’t begin his pro career for another year,

McRae already is getting the opportunity to work alongside two of the NBA’s greatest players. McRae spent last week at the Kevin Durant Skills Academy, an invitation-only gathering in Washington that attracts the nation’s top college wings. Now he’s been invited to the LeBron James Skills Academy, a four-day event starting Friday in Las Vegas that features 80 of the nation’s best high school players and 20 top college performers. The invitations give McRae a chance to measure himself against his peers while also al-

lowing him to perform in front of scouts from just about every NBA team. “What else can you ask for?” McRae said. “(You’re) playing in front of everybody. They’re watching you do skill work, watching you play games, watching you walk around. Anything you want, it’s right there. It’s up to you to go get it.” This already has been an extraordinary year for McRae. After beginning the 201213 season in a reserve role, McRae developed into one of the Southeastern Conference’s most improved players. He av-

eraged a team-high 15.7 points per game while playing every position but center at one time or another. He earned first-team all-SEC honors and ranked third in the conference with 19.2 points per game in league competition. He wants to carry that momentum over to his senior year. “Last year, from the maturity that came, he started going to the gym every day religiously,” Tennessee guard Josh Richardson said. “If that work ethic can catch on to the Please see MCRAE | 13

Evidence found in Hernandez’ secret apartment BY JAY LINDSAY Associated Press

WRENTHAM, Mass. — Aaron Hernandez’s home address was no secret after the media camped outside the massive house for days, and cameras caught him leaving, hands cuffed behind his back, when he was arrested for murder. But police didn’t know about his “flop house.” A tip from a friend of the former New England Patriots tight end led authorities to the apartment about 11 miles away. Subsequent searches turned up boxes of ammunition and clothing that police

believe could help prove the murder case against Hernandez, according to court documents. The items were found June 26, the day Hernandez was arrested for allegedly orchestrating the death of Odin Lloyd, according to search warrant records filed in Wrentham court. Hernandez, 23, has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys have said the evidence against him is circumstantial and he’s eager to clear his name. A message requesting comment on the documents was left Wednesday with a spokesman for Hernandez’s legal

team. Hernandez’s two-bedroom apartment, which went for $1,200 a month, was located in a three-story complex in Franklin, a few towns over from his North Attleborough house. Police learned about it from Hernandez’s friend, Carlos Ortiz. Prosecutors say Ortiz was with Hernandez and Ernest Wallace when they drove with Lloyd to an industrial park where Lloyd was shot. Police haven’t said who shot Lloyd. Ortiz, who lives in Hernandez’s hometown of Bristol, Conn, has since been charged

with carrying a firearm the day of the shooting. Wallace is charged with being an accessory after the fact in the slaying According to the documents, Bristol police interviewed Ortiz the day before Hernandez was arrested. He told them “Hernandez has another address that not many people know about,” and that he thought he’d left a cellphone there. Police initially got the search warrant to look for Ortiz’s phone. But as they spotted additional items in the Please see SECRET | 13

apartment â€” including a box of ammunition on an end table â€” they applied for additional warrants for the residence, and for a Hummer parked outside. In a bedroom, they found a white hooded sweatshirt, according to the documents. A cranberry-colored cap, with a light blue front panel and the word â€œsocietyâ€? spelled backward, was found on a kitchen table, the documents said. Surveillance video showed Hernandez wearing a similar sweatshirt the night Lloyd was killed on June 17, the records said. And he was wearing â€œthis same unique hatâ€? in a picture shown on a local news station taken outside a nightclub June 14, the Friday before the killing, according to the documents. Prosecutors say Hernandez arranged Lloydâ€™s shooting because he was upset at him for talking to certain people at the club. â€œThe white sweatshirt could be used ... to assist in linking Hernandez to the scene of the crime,â€? wrote Trooper Michael Bates, in an affidavit in support of one of the search warrants. â€œThe baseball hat could help provide the whereabouts of Hernandez on the Friday night before the homicide,â€? Bates wrote. â€œThis night in particular is a critical aspect in the timeline of events leading up to the homicide.â€?

THOMAS

CONTINUED FROM 12

rest of the team, I think weâ€™ll be great. His improvement this past year is amazing.â€? That progress helped McRae earn those invitations to the Durant and James skills academies. He savored the chance to work out with Durant, receive advice from the allstar and even try to score against him on occasion. Heâ€™s looking forward to having similar opportunities with James this week. â€œI saw (Durant) on me and I saw a side cleared out, and anytime you have an opportunity to score on one of the worldâ€™s best players, I have to take advantage of it,â€? McRae said. â€œI scored (against Durant) once. The second time, heâ€™s got long arms and he got a piece of it.â€? These academies also gave McRae a chance to learn more about other notable college players, both in the SEC and elsewhere. McRae said he wasnâ€™t particularly familiar with many Big Ten players before last weekend and returned home impressed with Michigan Stateâ€™s Gary Harris, Michiganâ€™s Glenn Robinson III and Ohio Stateâ€™s LaQuinton Ross. He roomed with Mississippiâ€™s Marshall Henderson, who took the SEC by storm last season with his big shots and brash antics. Henderson was reprimanded by the NCAA last week for behavior at the NCAA tournament that included directing both middle fingers at an opposing fan.

ference USA,â€? with a couple more at the Division I level, he said. Austin became aware of Thomas through NFL scout Joe Haynes. â€œHe said, â€˜Iâ€™ve got an official that I think you ought to look at.â€™ I said, â€˜How much experience does he have?â€™ And he says, â€˜10 years high school officiating.â€™ I said, â€˜Well, thatâ€™s good.â€™ He says, â€˜Just worked the state championship game.â€™ I said, â€˜Well, whatâ€™s his name?â€™ He said, â€˜His name is Sarah.â€™ â€˜I said, â€˜Joe, you gotta be kidding me.â€™â€? He wasnâ€™t. Austin called her and suggested she go to the Reno Football Officials Camp, where of the 15-16 officials at her position, â€œI thought she was in the top three.â€?

He hired Thomas, gave her two games the first year, half a schedule her second year and put her on a crew the third year. Sheâ€™s worked a couple of bowl games and a conference championship game. Bottom line: â€œCan the person officiate?â€? Presence, confidence, ability, positioning and judgment â€” â€œthey see the play and they know when to make a call and when to leave the play alone ... donâ€™t get picky or technicalâ€? â€” were categories Thomas fit, Austin said. Heâ€™s told her, first and utmost, be as good an official as she can and let everything else take care of itself. â€œThatâ€™s pretty much what sheâ€™s done and thatâ€™s how she has gotten national attention. And theyâ€™ll judge her the same way,â€? Austin said. â€œTheyâ€™ll judge her on her

ability.â€? Thomasâ€™ great passion for the game is obvious, said Jack Vaughan, whoâ€™s worked closely with her in Conference USA, including in the replay booth last year when she was pregnant and couldnâ€™t work in the field. â€œShe understands the competitiveness of athletics at the college level, and then she has the physical ability to move, and the good sense and the good judgment to realize whatâ€™s going on. ... She is very teachable, or coachable. â€œWhen you tell her something that she could do a little bit better, she

listens and then she does it.â€? At home in Brandon, Thomas relishes spending time with her husband and three children. â€œOur boys (ages 12 and 9) are very active in sports. So, my husband and I joke, itâ€™s the summer for them, but I think itâ€™s even in higher gear for us because theyâ€™re both playing Select baseball,â€? she said. â€œAnd we have a 6-month-old baby girl, so she keeps us busy, too.â€? With her sons, â€œwhatever season there is, thatâ€™s what theyâ€™re playing.â€? Thomas didnâ€™t set out to bust barriers.

â€œI started this whole thing just wanting to survive working a clock on my first high school game. And, the more I got involved in this, the more I truly enjoyed it and I had a passion for it.â€? â€œNo matter what your gender is, or your race is or whatever, when youâ€™re doing something that you truly love and you have a passion for, donâ€™t do it for the recognition or set out for an ulterior motive. â€œThatâ€™s the biggest thing: I do it because I love it. â€œI just take a lot of pride in being a part of the fraternity.â€?

0128 IN MEMORIAM

9/27/1985 ~ 6/28/2011 My angel that drove a GMC truck. Kevin weighed one pound at birth. He was small but a fighter, he fought to live and with God’s help he did. But at the age of 25 years old he lost his life. He left this walk of life the same way he came into it, fighting for his life. But this time someone else had their hands on him, but I believe God was holding his hands. He had been tazed and beaten so bad. He had handprints around his neck, where he had been choked. His elbow, leg and arm had been broken. They said at first drowning. The condition of his body he wouldn’t even be able to walk. I know the truth. I have lost my angel that drove a GMC. (God’s Miracle Child). Love Always, Mom, Dad, Ashley, Brandon Aunt Angela, Uncle Jimmy
