Alcorn County unemployment, at 4.7 percent in May, continued to register lower numbers than a year earlier.

The not seasonally adjusted rate was up from April’s revised rate of 3.6 percent and down compared to 5.3 percent a year earlier. Mississippi’s not adjusted rate rose from 4.3 percent in April to 5.3 percent in May, while the seasonally adjusted rate was 4.9 percent, down a tenth of a percentage point.

Alcorn County ranked 10th among the state’s 82 counties, tied with Tippah County.

The county had 760 counted as unemployed for the month, rising from 590 in April and down from 850 a year earlier.

First-time claims for unemployment insurance numbered 63 and continued claims numbered 256, compared to 88 initial claims and 483 continued claims a year ago.

Mississippi’s not seasonally adjusted non-farm employment had a slight decrease of 300 jobs over the month but had 900 more jobs than one year ago. None of the industry sectors registered significant employment gains or losses over the month, the Department of Employment Security reported.

Rates ranged from 3.9 percent in Rankin County to 12.8 percent in Issaquena County.

Unemployment rates were lower in May in nine states, higher in three states, and stable in 38 states and the District

Local grandparents are the target of a new wire fraud scam.

Identifying the grandparent scam isn’t always easy, according to Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell.

A theme of the scam is the caller’s request for the grandparent or intended victim to wire money through Western Union or to provide bank Caldwell account routing numbers to the scammers who often pose as family members.

Reports of this scam type have been made across the state, and Caldwell said he has received several local reports.

“It’s actually happened to both of my grandparents,” said Caldwell.

The sheriff said one scammer told his grandmother that he was one of her grandsons and had been involved in a car accident and arrested while out of the country.

“It’s odd because the grandson they claimed to be lives in Atlanta and often travels out of the country,” said Caldwell.

“The scammer asked my grandmother to wire transfer $990 via Western Union to him in order to make bond.”

Caldwell said wire transfer is a red flag, as well as the “broken nose” story.

“My grandmother asked him why he didn’t sound like himself,” said Caldwell. “The scam-

Woman collects over 1,400 novelty bells (EDITOR’S NOTE: The following story by Assistant Editor Steve Beavers first appeared in the Independent Appeal. It is being reprinted with the proper permission.)

EASTVIEW, Tenn. — Collecting rings a bell for Doris Cummings.

Something which started over 20 years ago when she moved to McNairy County rings true today for the Eastview woman.

The 59-year-old Cummings has a collection of 1,410 novelty bells throughout her home.

Tiny to larger bells are carefully placed on 15 shelves in all but two rooms of the home.

“It’s something I picked up

through the years,” said Cummings, a Karnes City, Texas native. “If the kids go somewhere, they always pick me up a bell.”

A majority of her throng of bells has been purchased at auctions and yard sales, according to Cummings.

“You can get them there for 50 cents or a $1,” she said.

“If the auctioneer sees a bell, he knows to look her way,” added Cummings’ youngest daughter, Deara with a smile.

Protecting the collection is serious business for the bell collector.

Conference to focus on Faulkner, money Associated Press

OXFORD — Finances were a constant worry for William Faulkner during his early years as a writer.

So, an expert says it’s fitting that that a literary conference will focus on the theme “Faulkner and Money: The Economies of Yoknapatawpha and Beyond.�

Jay Watson is a professor of Faulkner studies at the University of Mississippi and director of the 44th annual Faulkner &

Yoknapatawpha Conference, which takes place July 23-27 on the Ole Miss campus in Oxford. The conference draws part of its name — Yoknapatawpha — from a fictional county in Faulkner’s works.

Watson said the theme was suggested at least a decade ago

by Noel Polk, another Faulkner expert who was faculty at both the University of Southern Mississippi and Mississippi State University. Polk died in 2012. “William Faulkner spent his

first 25 years or more as a serious writer of fiction in almost constant financial diďŹƒculty,â€?

Watson said in a University of Mississippi news release. “He had trouble supporting his extended family o his writing alone, and he worried all the time about money. “His own financial arrangements, both personal and professional, his relationship to the literary marketplace and his search for other sources of income available to established

writers all have the potential to shed important light on the profession of authorship in 20th century America,� Watson said.

The Nobel laureate’s writing is also full of financial themes, including get-rich-quick schemes and con games. “His people — and sometimes individual characters — run the gamut from enormous wealth to miserable poverty,� Watson said. “Many are unduly preoccupied with money, much like their creator. There’s a lot to

learn from Faulkner’s work about the economics of rural and small-town life, of the South and of modern America.�

Sessions about teaching Faulkner will be led by James B. Carothers of the University of Kansas; Terrell L. Tebbetts of Lyon College; Brian McDonald of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania School District; Charles Peek of the University of Nebraska at Kearney; and Theresa M. Towner of the University of Texas at Dallas.

Oakley was at the Oxford Conference Center last week to present the plan, outline the details and what they would mean for Mississippi schools.

His role in the development of the plan has been to facilitate

Tuscumbia Council considers raising animal control funds TUSCUMBIA, Ala. — The City Council is considering whether to pay an additional $150 a month to the Colbert County Animal Control Association, reported the TimesDaily.

Tuscumbia contributes $500 a month toward the association. In 2012, the association requested Sheffield, Tuscumbia, Muscle Shoals and Colbert County each increase the amount they pay by $150.

Mayor Kerry Underwood said he received a letter on June 16 from the board requesting that increase. Underwood said minutes from council meetings in recent years indicate the matter had been discussed but no action was taken.

The mayor said the additional funding would go toward costs of maintaining the animal shelter facility.

The council decided Monday to table the matter until the July 17 meeting.

Underwood said the letter also requested the city pay the association for the amount equaling the additional $150 per month dating back to 2012. He said the letter stated that is 54 months.

Stakes high for Medicaid changes in Mississippi JACKSON — Medicaid is both a gift and a burden to Mississippi.

It’s a gift, in that the federal government pays a higher share of the bill in Mississippi than in any other state for the Jeff Amy health insurance program because Mississippi is poor.

Columnist It’s a burden, in that Mississippi lawmakers have long struggled to pay the state’s relatively small share of the Medicaid bill.

Now, Congress is considering changing the terms of the deal, in what may be the most significant part of Republican health overhaul proposals. Some Republican state lawmakers are eyeing it as an opportunity to tame Medicaid’s hunger for an ever-growing part of the state budget. But others say there’s no way Mississippi’s Medicaid program will be able to pay for the same slate of services as now.

Some of that fear was on display Thursday, when the Mississippi Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities rallied in front of the Jackson offices of Republican U.S. Sens. Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker. Scott Crawford, the group’s chairman, said members of his group fear limited Medicaid dollars in the future would push the state into cutting services that help people live independently, instead of in nursing homes.

More than 700,000 Mississippians receive care from Medicaid, down from nearly 750,000 in 2015. The majority are children, while about a quarter are disabled or blind.

About 10 percent are aged, often people who have run out of money to pay for nursing homes, while about 10 percent are parents, caretakers and pregnant women. Medicaid pays for 75 percent of all nursing home residents in Mississippi and nearly two-thirds of all births.

Republican plans proposed in both the U.S. House and Senate would cut future spending on Medicaid, changing it from an entitlement program where all eligible services are covered to a program that instead pays states per enrollee, with limits on growth. States could also seek a block grant, which would give them some control over what services are offered and how much beneficiaries are asked to pay.

Mississippi will spend about $6 billion on Medicaid in the year that began Saturday, including about $4.6 billion in federal money.

The state plans to spend $919 million of its own money, but that may be wishful thinking, since that amount is $90 million less than it spent in the just-ended budget year. Lawmakers so routinely put more money into Medicaid in the middle of a budget year that the real question most years is how much they will add. Those financial games hint at the financial pressure Medicaid puts on the entire state budget. Because the state has no option but to pay the bills for Medicaid, the program is outcompeting other priorities for state funding.

Thus it’s understandable that Mississippi lawmakers might be as eager as their Republican brethren in Congress to put a lid on spending. State Senate Medicaid Committee Chairman Brice Wiggins, for example, supports a block grant program.

There is one important figure who may not be on board with the plan. While Wicker has been firmly behind the U.S. Senate health care bill, Cochran’s position remains fuzzy.

“This is a work in progress,” Cochran said Friday. “I will continue to work with my colleagues to reach an agreement that benefits the nation.”

Prayer for today Gracious Father, may I not feel that it is necessary to wait for certain days and ceremonies to prepare to worship thee, while at every moment thy love is pleading for me. May I through the busiest hours and the most perplexing moments serve thee in reverence and obedience, and ever give praise to thy holy name. Amen.

A verse to share You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

—Galatians 5:13

Language books seemingly gather dust OXFORD — When you boil it down to the nub, every citizen of Mississippi except bona fide members of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, is an immigrant or descended from an immigrant. Even the Choctaws weren’t here when what the Weather Channel once called “the land mass between Alabama and Louisiana” was formed. That’s why staking out this turf as “ours” is a shaky proposition.

In any event, this state is not among those in a panic about being overtaken by outsiders. Candidates do try to whip up people on the topic of aliens, largely because fearmongering works so well. Actual census numbers, though, prove there has been no onslaught. The Hispanic population (not the same as immigrant, but comparable) rose from 2.9 percent to 3.1 percent in Mississippi from 2012 to 2015. Compare that to 25 percent in Florida, 31 percent in Arizona and 39 percent in California.

There are probably plenty of reasons why people from other countries don’t choose to relocate here, but one of them may be language. Mississippians tend to know grammar and proper usage, but we set our English books on the shelves long

ago.

Our communications are far more colorful, far more accurate, far more deCharlie scriptive.

Mitchell Take, well, “boil it down Columnist to the nub.”

It won’t be in any textbook a person from Asia, Central America or Europe is used to study English. The phrase contains wonderfully interwoven images. Boiling reduces the volume of a liquid. A nub is the part of something that’s left when everything else is gone. So, boiling to the nub is the same as cutting to the chase, which is our movie-centered aphorism for “summary of essential information.”

Picture a class full of people learning English. If the instructor asks them to translate “summary of essential information,” they can handle it. If the instructor asks them to translate “boil it down to the nub,” they’re lost.

There are loads of linguistic puzzles to keep interlopers at bay. When one Mississippian says to another, “He’s as happy as if he had good sense,” we know what we mean. A person relocating from Tokyo would be

hard-pressed to figure out.

I once worked with a man who, if feeling sad, would not say, “I feel sad.” He would say he was, “lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut.”

Non-natives could process “sad.” The snake-belly version would be far more challenging.

The dictionary defines “lazy.” We tend to say, “He won’t hit a lick at a snake.”

Our rural roots have given us other animal images: “Frustrated as a stumptailed cow at fly time.”

“Happy as a dead pig in the sunshine” and “Grinning like a possum with a sweet tater.” A visitor from France might well ask, “What’s a tater?” The proper reply would be “pomme de terre,” but “Grinning like a possum with a sweet pomme de terre” doesn’t quite have the cache.

Think about it. We Mississippians are constantly making statements to each other that defy literal, word for word, translation. “Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes?”

“They need to mend fences.” “I have no ax to grind.”

“Don’t fly off the handle.”

“He’s barking up the wrong tree.” “That takes the cake.”

For some reason we use copious amounts of swine imagery (in addition to dead ones in the sunshine).

“Holler like a stuck pig.”

“Go whole hog.” “Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.”

There are shorter retorts that are challenging to people who might be trying to understand us. We say “tight” when we mean “frugal” or to describe a level of friendship. We talk about “piddling,” meaning wasting time; “falling out” meaning argue; “sorry,” meaning lowquality; “directly,” meaning in a little while; “aim to,” meaning intend.

Does anyone really know Ronald Reagan?

In his new book “The Working Class Republican,” a bracingly revisionist account of the 40th president, Henry Olsen answers “no.”

One of the most astute political analysts at work today and a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, Olsen argues that Reagan’s politics bear the distinctive stamp of his origins as a New Deal Democrat.

Olsen’s interpretation of what he calls “Reagan’s New Deal conservatism” is open to dispute. But he undoubtedly is correct that contemporary conservative politicians do Reagan -- and themselves -- a disservice by remembering him as an unremitting ideologue and tactical maximalist.

As late as 1980, Reagan had still been a Democrat longer than he had been a Republican. As he put it, characteristically, in his 1984 acceptance speech, “Did I leave the Democratic Party, or did the leadership of that party leave not just me but millions of patriotic Democrats who believed in the principles and philosophy of that platform?”

attuned to their concerns, Reagan didn’t simply replicate the let-it-allRich h a n g - o u t , Lowry high-octane conservaNational tism of Barry Review Goldwater.

He never contested the idea that there should be a safety net.

In his famous speech promoting Goldwater’s candidacy in 1964, Reagan stipulated, “We’re for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment by reason of old age, and to that end we have accepted Social Security as a step toward meeting the problem.”

He promoted his program not as a function of conservative purity, but of sturdy common sense. “There’s no such thing as a left or a right,” he said in that same 1964 speech, “there’s only an up or down.”

He extolled the common man, “the forgotten American,” and his innate dignity. In his first inaugural address, Reagan hailed the “men and women who raise our food, patrol our streets,

man our mines and factories, teach our children, keep our homes, and heal us when we’re sick -- professionals, industrialists, shopkeepers, clerks, cabbies, and truck drivers.”

He didn’t support tax cuts for the rich so much as tax cuts for everyone, and didn’t obsess over entrepreneurship. According to Olsen, “Reagan mentioned the word ‘entrepreneur’ only once in all of his major campaign and presidential speeches on the economy between November 1979 and the passage of the taxcut bill in July 1981.”

He had a pragmatic cast.

In his campaign for governor of California, he noted that “public officials are elected primarily for one purpose -to solve public problems.” He never let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough for a working politician. Hostile to taxes, he raised them as governor of California in response to a budget crisis, and as president as part of a Social Security deal. A freetrader, he brushed back the Japanese on trade.

Reagan’s tone and program, coupled with his generational talent as a politician, allowed him to unlock

the working-class vote in his races for governor and president. “The Reagan Democrat” has been part of our political vocabulary ever since. President Donald Trump is a very different man and politician, but it is telling how -- not having learned the purported lessons of Reagan -- he was able to go and get these voters in a way that Republican politicians bound by Reaganite truisms were not.

All that said, Reagan was hardly a friend of the welfare state. He said the ultimate source of the New Deal was Mussolini’s fascism. His 1964 speech attacked farm programs, government planning, welfare, the size and power of bureaucracy, and regulations that “have cost us many of our constitutional safeguards.” He called for adding “voluntary features” to Social Security, and for electing Barry Goldwater to stop the advance of socialism.

Reagan was a constitutional conservative, although an exceptionally gifted one who understood how to meet Americans where they live. In this important book, Henry Olsen reminds us how.

Book explores legacy of the Fab Four “Dreaming the Beatles: The Love Story of One Band and the Whole World” by Rob Sheffield c.2017, Dey St . $24.99 / 351 pages

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

There are places you remember.

And things: the basement rec room in your parents’ house, where the family stereo sat. Your upstairs bedroom, and the portable turntable bought with babysitting money. The transistor radio on the beach, or at your part-time summer job. You hear a certain song, and they’re all practically in front of you, and in “Dreaming the Beatles” by Rob Sheffield, you’ll revisit them again.

No matter what age you are, says Sheffield , you know exactly who they are: John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Even today’s grade-schoolers know Beatles songs from half a century ago - but why? What made those “lads” so special?

“It wasn’t their timing,” says Sheffield . “It wasn’t drugs. It wasn’t that they were the voice of a generation… yet the allure of the music keeps on growing, nearly fifty years after the band split.”

They were just four talented boys

among thousands back then. John met Paul at a village fair. They interviewed George for the band. Ringo, almost a pro with his personalized drum kit, came along later. They meshed and became so close to one another that when John went on holiday with his wife, Cynthia, and son, Julian, he could do little but mope about how he missed his mates.

In light of how an album is made today, their work was astounding: their first album was recorded in one thirteen-hour day, the same day some of the lyrics were written; against popular wisdom of the times, their publisher allowed them to perform their own songs rather than covers of other tunes. Not long after, their touring schedule would be likewise brutal: the Beatles would play a half-hour in one tiny venue, then dash to the next joint to do it again in the same night.

They squabbled, compromised, and laughed, mourned losses and celebrated successes. They learned to “stop swearing and eating and drinking and belching onstage” and became pros who were sometimes annoyed by “the Scream.” In the end, they were so sick of one another, that none could wait to be rid of the rest.

And yet – they couldn’t completely let go…

Although it’s nearly-totally subjective and perhaps itching for argument, “Dreaming the Beatles” is a Fab Four fantasy for fans. Truly, it’s hard to imagine debating with anyone other than author and Rolling Stone columnist Rob Sheffield on this subject.

Sheffield writes with the patter of an AM-radio deejay, as he moves from album to band biography to musician profile in his reasoning for naming the Beatles as the best band ever. In leaving room for dissent and inviting discussion, that opinionated evidence offers enough memorysparkers to take Boomers back a few decades, and plenty of insider gossip to satisfy younger readers.

So, argue and ponder, enjoy “Dreaming the Beatles,” but give yourself time to listen to the songs, too. You won’t be sorry, in any case: you know you love the music, and you may have read other books about the Beatles, but in your life, you’ll love this more.

New Mississippi criminal court rules address bail, lawyers

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — New court rules in Mississippi could help prevent poor people from being stuck in jail without a lawyer or bail.

After six years of work, Mississippi’s first-ever uniform rules of criminal procedure were adopted by the Mississippi Supreme Court in December and took effect Saturday.

They govern a wide range of issues from filing a case to what happens after a trial. But retired state Supreme Court Justice Ann Lamar, who helped lead the work, said one big effect will be to help people with few resources bail out of jail and obtain a lawyer.

“There were some matters like the issue of bail or bond that had been all over the place based on the part of the state

you’re in,” Lamar said.

The new rules will allow a judge to issue a summons instead of an arrest warrant to a defendant when someone swears out a complaint. Lamar said that will allow some defendants to avoid arrest and the expense of posting bail. A broad range of bail amounts statewide is suggested for particular offenses — $5,000 to $1 million for drug distribution trafficking, for example. But the rules also say “a defendant should be released pending trial whenever possible” and that judges may release indigent defendants “on non-financial conditions that make it reasonably likely that the defendant will appear.”

Cliff Johnson, a lawyer with the MacArthur Justice Center, said he hopes the rules will help flip the presumption that every-

one should have to post money bail to get out of jail in Mississippi.

“The default is that no money bail is to be imposed,” Johnson said. “We’ve had it upside down.

The presumption is release. You get to keep your liberty, you don’t have to pay for your liberty.”

Johnson, for example, sued Moss Point, winning a settlement that says the city shouldn’t keep accused criminals locked in jail just because they can’t afford bail.

The rules call for judges to appoint lawyers to indigent defendants “without unnecessary delay” and at the latest — the first time a defendant appears before a judge. That was an issue in a lawsuit that the MacArthur Justice Center and the American Civil Liberties Union settled last month with Scott

BELLS CONTINUED FROM 1A

James, once ran into a shelve full of bells while sleeping walking, according to Deara.

“She didn’t ask if he was okay,” said Deara with a smile. “She wanted to know how many of her bells were broken.”

“Needless to say, it woke him up,” added Doris.

Her six grandchildren also know not to play with the bells.

“We teach them at an early age not to touch mawmaw’s bells,” said Deara.

“There are special brass ones they know they can play with because they won’t break,” responded Doris.

There are numerous Santa Claus bells in the collection. A nativity scene and even a goat’s

bell is among the huge assortment.

“The different shapes all make a different sound,” said Deara.

“I don’t have a favorite,” said Doris. “I just like to look at them all.”

One special bell is not on a shelve. The silver bell engraved with her name on it was a gift from a niece in 2013.

“I keep that one in a box,” said Doris.

Myrtle B. Eldridge holds the Guinness World Record for novelty bells with 9,638. A majority of Myrtle’s bells were given to her as gifts from friends and family together with purchases she has made at yard sales and flea markets, according to Guinness.

“I used to try and collect series, but know I just get what I like,” said Doris.

“I look at them and think

about James.”

“She has been collecting them for as long as I can remember,” added Deara.

It took the Deara and Dorris close to two hours to count all of the bells.

“They overran the house,” said Deara with a chuckle.

Deara is in line to inherit her mother’s collection.

“We always joke that I could sell them for a quarter apiece and be rich,” said Deara.

Doris is planning a trip to Texas later this year.

She might even find the time to look for another one or two for the collection.

“I already have a new shelve to put up or I will put them where I can find a place,” she said. “It’s something I want to add on to.”

County, where judges had been withholding lawyers until people were indicted. That meant unindicted defendants who couldn’t afford bail would sit in jail for months.

They reinforce the current practice that all people who arrested before being indicted are supposed to appear before a judge within two business days, saying anyone who doesn’t see a judge during that time must be released on bail. Anyone who is indicted is supposed to be arraigned within 30 days. That rule has been an issue in some counties where courts meet only twice a year. Currently, a case where a woman was held 96 days without seeing a judge in Choctaw County is on appeal to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

In addition, at the beginning of every court term, the new

rules state that a sheriff must deliver to the top local judge the names of everyone who has been jailed for more than 90 days and a judge must review the detention or bail status for each of all those people.

Lamar said that based on her own experience as a circuit judge in a five-county north Mississippi circuit, it’s hard for judges to track prisoners.

“I don’t know that so-and-so sits in the Water Valley jail until someone brings that to my attention.”

Johnson said he’s hopeful that training will produce changes in court procedures, but said the MacArthur Justice Center has trained people to monitor courts for compliance.

“At my most optimistic, I would say we begin a new era on July 1,” he said.

NEW YORK — Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gulped, chomped and powered his way to a 10th title on Tuesday, continuing his record-setting reign as the chowing champion at the annual Nathan’s Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest.

Chestnut won last year’s World Slugburger Eating Championship at the Slugburger Festival in Corinth.

He’ll defend his title at the Corinth Depot on Saturday, July 15.

Shoving water-soaked buns and wriggling franks into his mouth on a hot, sunny day on the Coney Island boardwalk, he downed 72 dogs and buns in 10 minutes to beat his own record and hoist the Mustard Belt for a 10th time. The San Jose, California, man bested up-andcomer Carmen Cincotti, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, who ate 60 franks and buns on his 24th birthday.

Miki Sudo notched a fourth straight win in the women’s competition. The Las Vegas woman ate 41 hot dogs and buns to beat Michelle Lesco of Tucson, Arizona, who downed 32 franks and buns.

During the men’s competition, five people were taken into custody for try-

The people appeared to be attempting to unfold a black banner before police stopped them and took them away. They were taken to a precinct where they were questioned and released, police said.

Trump, Putin: Lots to discuss, nothing specific Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s first face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday will be brimming with global intrigue, but the White House says there’s “no specific agenda.” So in the absence of a set list of topics, what are two of the world’s most famously unpredictable leaders to discuss?

Trump, who prefers to have neatly packaged achievements to pair with high-profile meetings, may be looking for some conces-

sions from Russia to show he’s delivering progress and helping restore a productive relationship between the two powers. Putin would almost surely want something in return, and there’s a long list of “irritants” between the two countries that they could potentially resolve.

Ahead of the bilateral meeting, White House National Security Council and State Department officials have been reviewing possible gestures the U.S. could offer Russia as part of the meeting, a current

mer told her he had broken his nose in the wreck ... these scammers are pretty good. They’ve got a good answer for everything.”

Caldwell’s story is similar to a recent report from the office of Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood.

According to the report, a common scenario of the grandparent scam involves a scammer frantically contacting their victim claiming to be a loved one on vacation in some sort of distress or financial bind. The scammer will usually ask the victim to wire transfer money and could also ask for their bank account numbers. Scammers generally pose as a grandchild, fam-

ily member or even a close friend or neighbor as they target grandparents or elder individuals who may be unsuspecting.

Hood also warned wiring money is identical to mailing cash.

“There are no protections for the sender and no way to reverse the transaction, trace the money or recover payment from the telephone con artists,” said Hood.

“These scammers will try to convince their victims to send any amount — from several hundred to several thousand dollars — and they may even call back hours or days later asking for more money if they were successful the first time.”

Caldwell said instead of a wire transfer, scammers are also likely to ask

and a former administration official said. They weren’t authorized to comment publicly and requested anonymity.

Yet any outward sign of bonhomie between Trump and Putin would be immediately seized upon by the president’s critics and Russia hawks eager to show he’s cozying up to the Russian leader. The ongoing investigations into Russia’s interference in the U.S. election and potential Trump campaign collusion won’t be far from anyone’s minds.

event, but spokeswoman Tricia Lebkuecher said the people arrested inside weren’t affiliated with PETA. Chestnut has dominated the chowdown throwdown for years, eating 70 franks and buns last year to top his then-record and take back the title from Matt “The Megatoad” Stonie.

The 25-year-old Stonie came in third on Tuesday, with 48 franks and buns.

“There’s no secret, I love to eat, and I love doing it, I love to win, so I had to figure out my body and push it to the limit,” a sweating Chestnut said after his win.

The 33-year-old said he’d hoped to down even more dogs but was leaving feeling good.

Cincotti said he’d eaten a thousand hot dogs since May in preparation for his second try at the Mustard Belt. Getting to even second place is “surreal — I grew up watching this contest,” he said.

Meanwhile, the women’s side has featured a yearslong rivalry between Sudo and record-holder Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia. Thomas, who’s 50, came in third on Tuesday with 30 dogs and buns, well shy of her record 45.

Sudo told ESPN she “just came back better than ever” this year. She’s 31; Lesco is 33.

One of America’s most outlandish July Fourth traditions, the contest dates to 1972, though the company has for years promoted what a former president acknowledged was a legendary start date of 1916.

Leigh Brown and her husband brought her 11-year-old sons, Carter and Corbyn, all the way from Florida to see it.

“They really wanted to come. They always watched it on TV, so it’s pretty special for them,” Brown said.

that money be placed on a Green Dot card.

“It’s important that everyone – no matter their age – be aware of every single phone call. You never know when it might be a scammer claiming to be a family member or friend,” he said. “People should listen and take down as much information as possible and if a family member is mentioned, hang up the phone and try to reach that family member to ensure they aren’t in trouble.”

Caldwell said scammers are also spoofing telephone numbers.

“Caller ID spoofing allows scammers to seem as if they are calling you from a local number or even a number already saved in your phone,” he added.

Each local scam reported to the sheriff’s office has been turned over to the FBI, according to the sheriff.

A few tips offered by Hood’s office to protect you from becoming a victim of the grandparent scam or other ones similar to it include: • Do not wire any amount of money unless you have properly assessed the situation or in some way verified with

others close to your loved one that they are actually in trouble.

• Be suspicious if your loved one requests or demands that you keep the phone call a secret by claiming to be very embarrassed and/or scared.

• Avoid acting out of a sense of urgency if you receive communication from a “loved one” (scammer) who claims to be traveling and is in some sort of distress or financial bind asking you to urgently wire transfer them money.

• Immediately after receiving the call or message, attempt calling your “loved one” back at the telephone number through which you normally reach him or her if they reached out or attempted to reach out to you using an odd or long distance number.

(If you suspect you have already been the victim of a scam, or the intended victim of a scam, immediately report it to the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Office at 662-286-5521 or the Corinth Police Department at 662-2863377 and the Attorney General’s Office Consumer Protection Division at 601-359-4230.)

There’s no room for both mom and boyfriend in woman’s life D E A R ABBY: I was in a relationship for 12 years. “Jenny” was my best friend.

I had to end Abigail our relationbecause Van Buren ship she had allowed her Dear Abby mother to destroy it.

Jenny is 35 and her mother cooks, cleans, does her laundry and makes her bed for her. I would return from work and find her mother sleeping next to her in bed every day. It seemed to me to be her way of putting a wedge in between us.

If we went to a concert, we had to buy three tickets because Jenny always had to bring her mother. When I would ask Jenny out to dinner, she would say, “Can Mom come?” Is this normal? If we had an argument, her mother would get involved and it would become two against one, and I would always be in the wrong. Nothing I did was right.

Since we broke up, Jenny doesn’t speak to me. I lost my best friend, and I don’t know what to do. -- THREE’S TOO MUCH COMPANY DEAR TOO MUCH COMPANY: Jenny’s primary relationship was -- and probably forever will be -- with her mother. You may have felt that Jenny was your

best friend, but Jenny’s best friend is her mother -- a bond that her mother works very hard to keep intact. Accept it, expand your social circle and move on.

That’s all you can do because Jenny is taken.

DEAR ABBY: I hope you will let me unload on you. I lost my much-loved cat a year ago and would like to get another pet, but I cannot afford it.

Having been in business, there are some costs I can understand, such as vet care, grooming and kennel fees if a trip is planned. But the pharmaceutical prices are simply unaffordable, with vaccinations, flea medicine and meds when the pet is sick -- not to mention end-of-life care.

I cannot put a pet down just because it is old.

I am elderly and, while not rich, I do get by. But I cannot afford pet insurance, either. I am a widow, and a pet would be a great comfort to me. Any ideas?

-- MONA IN YUBA CITY, CALIF. DEAR MONA: Have you considered fostering a cat while an animal rescue group finds a permanent home for it? Contact some in your area and ask whether they cover the cost of veterinary expenses while the cat is staying with you. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that they do.

Also, contact a no-kill shelter and inquire if it’s possible to foster a pet or to volunteer there.

In addition to the gratification you will get from having a furry houseguest, you will be doing the kitty a huge favor.

DEAR ABBY: I am 64 and my live-in fiance is 73. He has no retirement or savings. He has a winter job he loves and works occasionally in the summer. We will not marry so we can keep our finances separate, and he has contributed one-fifth toward my home.

My problem is he wants to go out to dinner all the time. I suggest that we eat at home to save money, which is also more healthy. We have upcoming roof and boiler expenses that he won’t be able to contribute to.

Any suggestions? -- MONEY MANAGEMENT IN COLORADO DEAR M.M.: Just this. Point out to your fiance that because of the upcoming maintenance expenses, eating out as often as he wants is more than you can manage, and tell him that if he wants to eat out, HE will be the one paying for it. Summer is here now, and he should arrange his work schedule so he can afford it.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Sometimes you’re charged with being a cog in the wheel, and other times your job is to hold the handlebars, steer and balance. Both jobs can have their advantages and disadvantages, so whichever it is, embrace it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Our minds are so subjective that the idea of reality can be a squirrelly one. If you ignore it and it doesn’t go away, it’s probably reality. That’s good news. Reality can be much more easily dealt with than non-reality.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Just as the Greek hero Odysseus found a way to resist the song of the sirens, you will find a way to resist the temptations on the sidelines today. Odysseus had help from his crew, and so will you if you call on yours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Anyone can connect all of the wrong things and come to some pretty dismal conclusions. You’ll connect the shining dots of rightness, and the conclusion that

naturally follows will be bright and welcoming.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To be selfless and remain calm is the aim of people everywhere (especially women). And then one day (today) you’re simply not in the mood. Rage on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Part of you will engage; the other part watches. Which is real?

You’re the sky, not the weather.

The clouds may decorate or menace, but don’t be bothered; clouds pass. You’re the constant.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Any path you commit to will get you there. So the better question isn’t, “Which one will get me there?” It’s, “Which path might I commit to with pleasure?”

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Solitude has a transcendent power, and so does unity. Too much of either state is diminishing, though. Your balance of social time and alone time may need some tweaking.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You can’t think your way to peace, because thinking doesn’t bring peace. Peace exists between the thoughts, also around them. Music will be an easy and interesting way to organize mental clutter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you feel you have to inflate your confidence or brag or otherwise stuff your “resume,” the situation is already doomed.

Go where the love is instead!

Who you are isn’t what you have, own or do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People will say that “something has to be done,” but does it? If nothing were done, what then? If you put it to the test and “something” still “has to be done,” then you’re the one to do it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s the unknowable, and then there’s the not-worthknowing, and both may seem to be unworthy of the chase. However, pursuing the first category will bring many revelations.

NOTEBOOK

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. comes out on top at Daytona

Getty Images for NASCAR

There have been lots of NASCAR drivers who have gotten a single win at Talladega Superspeedway and never won again. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in that group as he backed up his May victory at Talladega with another in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

Stenhouse, who drives the No. 17 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, in a race that saw a record 14 caution periods that eliminated many of the early favorites, including pole-sitter Dale Earnhardt Jr. Stenhouse started sixth and took the lead for good on the backstretch during an overtime run to the ďŹ nish, drafting past race leader David Ragan and motoring away unchallenged to the checkered ďŹ&#x201A;ag.

Clint Bowyer ďŹ nished second for the second straight week ahead of Paul Menard and Michael McDowell, who scored the ďŹ rst top-ďŹ ve ďŹ nish of his Cup career.

Stenhouse, 29, is emerging as one of the better racers at Daytona and Talladega, the two tracks where engines are restricted to slow speeds and where races are won by aggressive driving in large packs of cars. Of the 11 top-ďŹ ve ďŹ nishes in his Cup career, ďŹ ve have come at these two tracks.

Runner-up Bowyer agreed in the post-race interviews at Daytona that Stenhouse has become a good restrictor-plate racer and has a fast car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, you get down to the end of that thing and look who the fastest car was,â&#x20AC;? Bowyer said, pointing out that Stenhouse qualiďŹ ed sixth at Daytona and was still running at the end after other faster cars had dropped out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fastest car right then.

He did a good job getting it to the front, and she set sail.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does a good job of blocking. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned a lot. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a good plate racer.â&#x20AC;?

Stenhouse was driving a new car, one that was built after he kept his Talladega car for posterityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake. The new one was just as fast, or faster, than the Talladega winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All race I felt like I was really having to lift a lot [off the throttle] to keep from running over the cars in front of us,â&#x20AC;? Stenhouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I felt really strong about our car.â&#x20AC;?

For a time in the ďŹ nal laps, it looked as if David Ragan, driving the underdog No. 38 Ford for Front Row Motorsports, might pull off an upset. He led the ďŹ eld to the start of overtime, but when he moved high on the backstretch to block Ty Dillon, he left the bottom lane open for Stenhouse, who pounced in a hurry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David [Ragan] just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get down quick enough,â&#x20AC;? Stenhouse said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looks are deceiving. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking in your mirror, you can really see the cars on the outside really good and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to see the cars on the inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just got a run at the right time, and he moved up at the perfect time for us to get to the inside and keep the lead from there.â&#x20AC;?

Stenhouse said he was surprised his car was as fast as it was given the fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made signiďŹ cant contact with the No. 42 of Kyle Larson as Larson sailed into the air during an earlier crash on the frontstretch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we got some rubber on the front bumper from his tires spinning,â&#x20AC;? Stenhouse said of the incident with Larson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything just worked out just right for us right there.â&#x20AC;?

Wrecks came often on Saturday, and knocked out several big names, including Danica Patrick in her No. 10 Stewart-Haas Ford.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. ends up a spectator after wreck ruins his Daytona bid

Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images for NASCAR

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coke Zero 400 was likely Dale Earnhardt Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last appearance in a Cup race at Daytona International Speedway, where he has enjoyed great success in the past.

Based on the pre-race hype, especially after he won the pole for the 400, it sounded like an Earnhardt victory was a cinch. But Earnhardt, who is set to retire from regular competition at sea-

Dale Earnhardt Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 88 Chevrolet took its share of lumps Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway.

sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, wound up with a disappointing 32nd-place finish. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22nd in the points standings heading into Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Kentucky Speedway.

There were flashes of the old Earnhardt at Daytona, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won two Daytona 500s and two Coke Zero 400s, plus six Xfinity Series races, two Busch Clashes and five qualifying races.

Earnhardtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race began to unravel when he thought he had a flat tire midway through the second 40-lap stage. He slowed briefly, but was hit from behind and knocked into the outside wall.

He lost two laps while his crew made repairs, but eventually regained his lost laps and raced his way as high as sixth place before his involvement in a Lap 107 crash on the backstretch ended his night.

Reflecting on possibly his final Cup race at Daytona, Earnhardt said he was taken aback by the intensity of the media and fan attention he received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect all that attention all week,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My phone was buzzing all day long with social media going crazy, everybody talking about this being my last Daytona race. I hope every weekend isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like this as far as that goes.â&#x20AC;?

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to say he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy and appreciate it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The attention and the reaction from the fans make me feel great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully we are able to turn that around ... for the rest of the season and thank them for all they had done.â&#x20AC;?

Holding court with the King of NASCAR

William Byron is proving that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a tremendous amount of experience to enjoy success at the highest levels of NASCAR. Last year, Byron came into the Camping World Truck Series with little experience other than racing online. He won in his fourth career start and won back-to-back races in his eighth and ninth races on the way to a seven-win season.

This year, at age 19, he moved up one level to the Xfinity Series, and now has two wins, at Iowa Speedway a week ago and at Daytona International Speedway Saturday afternoon.

Byron won the race in overtime, which seemed appropriate for a race that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish until 21 hours after it started due to two lengthy rain delays.

The Coca-Cola Firecracker 250 ran just 11 laps on Friday night before rains pushed the remainder of the race to noon on Saturday. It was stopped again for rain on Saturday at Lap 37.

But the sun was shining in the closing laps as Byron took the lead on Lap 98 of a scheduled 100 after contact with Joey Logano in the draft sent Logano sliding through the grass and out of contention for the win.

Another multi-car crash set up an overtime finish with Byron, who led a race-high 29 laps, leading the field to the green flag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a great last three weeks,â&#x20AC;? said Byron, who finished second to Denny Hamlin by inches at Michigan two weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think, as a team, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting more and more confident.â&#x20AC;?

Sadler finished second, and the three drivers behind him all recorded Xfinitycareer-best finishes, with Dakoda Armstrong finishing third ahead of Jeb Burton and David Starr.

In honor of Richard Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80th birthday on July 2, NASCAR Insider Rick Minter recalls some of his early experiences with the NASCAR icon.

The first time I met Richard Petty was at Atlanta Motor Speedway (then Atlanta International Raceway) in the summer of 1970. I was 12 years old. He was already NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King.

I was tagging along with my sports-writing father at the Dixie 500. It was one memorable day.

Midway through the race, then-track superintendent Alf Knight brought a relatively unassuming gentleman to the press box and introduced him to the writers there that day.

After he passed by, I asked my dad who the man was. His answer: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some friend of Alfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that thinks he can get himself elected governor.â&#x20AC;?

Jimmy Carter won that election and a much bigger one a few years later.

After the race, my dad told me to find a place to sit and wait for him to file his story. I chose one of three chairs in the corner of the room. In walked Richard Petty, the race winner that day. A track official started to shoo me out of my chair, but the King insisted I stay.

He was very friendly, but he smelled awfully sour after running 500 miles on a hot afternoon in the days before driver-cooling devices were ever envisioned. There were streaks of salt on his uniform from all the sweat.

With all due respect to Carter, meeting Petty was and still is the highlight of that day.

Four summers later, an older cousin of mine was in the final stages of a battle with cancer. Petty won his race that day, and he stayed over until Monday to film a commercial for his sponsor, STP. I drove my cousin to the garage, and we parked his station wagon in a corner stall. I found Petty, explained the situation and asked if he would speak to my cousin. He said he would later.

I had my doubts, but when the filming ended, Petty found me and asked: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your friend?â&#x20AC;?

He came over to the station wagon, climbed into the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat and the two of them had a nice visit.

Imagine that, a Cup race winner, after a long weekend and Monday away from home, spending 15 or 20 minutes with a total stranger ... and a David Pearson fan at that.

Not long after I went to work in the newspaper business, the bosses forgot to assign someone to cover the renaming of the road by AMS to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Richard Petty Boulevard.â&#x20AC;?

Xfinity driver William Byron makes his way back to Victory Lane

2. Martin Truex Jr., 649 Richard Petty, left, sits down with NASCAR Insider writer Rick Minter to talk a little shop.

At about 6 p.m., seven hours after the press conference, I was assigned to get a story.

I went to Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motorcoach and explained my predicament to the man who came to the door. He reminded me that there had been several interview opportunities earlier that day. Nonetheless, I soon found myself on the sofa in the motorcoach, and the King couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more accommodating.

On another memorable night, Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late grandson Adam was running an ASA race at the short track in Jefferson, Georgia.

Adam ran well, but was involved in an early wreck. When he drove his battered car behind the wall, it was his grandfather who pushed the jack under the car and jacked it up.

When it was determined that the car was too damaged to continue, Petty made his way to the area where three or four young men had been mounting racing tires under a searing summer sun.

The King shook each of their hands. I told him I thought it was a nice gesture, and I added that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always appreciated him being helpful to me, first as a fan and later as a reporter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always appreciate yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all writing about me,â&#x20AC;? he said.

I hope the King enjoys many more Happy Birthdays.

Bobcats poised for winning season

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

McNairy Central’s 2016 football season saw a disappointing end after a late season slide when they lost four of five games late in the year. The big deal for the ‘Cats was finishing with a non-losing record for the first time since 2008.

McNairy was stunned in the pre-season last year when tailback Kylin Wynn suffered an injured knee and missed the season.

Wynn hopes to be back at full-strength by the start of the upcoming season.

A big disappointment in the season opener was

getting thumped by Scotts Hill 34-14 at Don Whitaker Stadium. The victory evened the series between the teams at 1-1.

Chester County topped MC 43-14 in game two but the Eagles later had to forfeit the game due to an ineligible player.

The ‘Cats got their first win of the season with a 25-8 win over South Side in game three. The ‘Cats then turned in their best performance of the season with a 27-0 shutout of Bruceton.

A pair of district powers blitzed the Bobcats in their next two games in 2016.

South Gibson raced past

McNairy 36-22 before Milan blanked them 49-0.

The Bobcats got back to winning in game seven by beating Middle College 32-8. The following week Dyersburg pounded MC 42-0 before Liberty defeated the ‘Cats 49-7 to knock McNairy out of the playoffs.

The Bobcats finished off Westview’s winless season by beating the Chargers 7-6 as the 2016 campaign concluded.

Looking at the 2017 season the schedule will be a bit weaker so the Bobcats should be able to do better than a 5-5 record. Erasing Dyersburg and Liberty

from the schedule will certainly be beneficial.

Freedom Prep was founded as a charter school in 2009 and this will be their first varsity football game everand could easily be a win for McNairy in week one.

Tishomingo County will be the opponent in game two. The Braves have a new coach and the transition should help MCHS. Covington will play MC for the first time in game three and will serve as the first region game. The Chargers won their final Please see BOBCATS | 11A

Yelich powers Marlins past Cardinals 5-2 Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Christian Yelich hit a three-run homer, Jose Urena struck out seven in five solid innings and the Miami Marlins beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-2 on Tuesday.

JT Riddle added a two-run single for the Marlins, who had dropped five of six. Dee Gordon had three hits, and Giancarlo Stanton reached three times.

Greg Garcia hit a two-run

homer for St. Louis, which lost for just the second time in seven games. Matt Carpenter had two hits.

Urena (7-3) was charged with two runs and three hits. Drew Steckenrider, Kyle Barraclough and David Phelps each pitched a scoreless inning before AJ Ramos finished for his 14th save in 15 opportunities.

The Cardinals jumped in front on Garcia’s second

homer of the season in the fifth.

But the Marlins responded with five in the sixth.

Gordon doubled with one out and Stanton reached on a throwing error on second baseman Carpenter before Yelich hit a drive to center for his first homer since June 2.

Riddle tacked on his big single with two out.

Miami broke a four-game losing streak in St. Louis.

Up next Cardinals right-hander Mike Leake (6-6, 2.97 ERA) will take on Miami righthander Edinson Volquez (4-8, 3.97 ERA) in the third game of the four-game series tonight. Leake is 6-1 with a 2.36 ERA in seven career starts against the Marlins.

Volquez tossed a no-hitter against Arizona on June 3.

Kerber, Raonic make it through at Wimbledon

BY CHRIS LEHOURITES Associated Press

LONDON — Last year’s runners-up were up first on the main showcourts at Wimbledon on Tuesday, and both came through in straight sets.

Angelique Kerber, playing in the spot on Centre Court normally reserved for the defending women’s champion, beat Irina Falconi of the United

States 6-4, 6-4. On No. 1 Court, Milos Raonic defeated JanLennard Struff of Germany 7-6 (5), 6-4, 7-6 (4).

“A lot of memories came back when I walk on the Centre Court,” Kerber said. “Playing there again, it’s one of the best courts to play. It’s traditional, so it was really great to being back.” Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, who own

a combined 10 titles at the All England Club, didn’t even need three sets to advance.

They both reached the second round when their opponents retired from their matches in the second set.

Kerber stepped in to the opening spot on Centre Court on Day 2 in place of Serena Williams, the defending champion who is out for the rest of

the season because she is pregnant. Although Kerber became the first women seeded No. 1 in the professional era to lose in the first round of the French Open, she made it through to the second round on the grass.

“Playing first rounds in Grand Slams are always tough, especially with my first-round match that I lost in Paris,” Kerber said.

four regular season games last year to reach the playoffs before losing to Dyersburg in the playoffs.

The Bobcats will host Chester County. in a big non-region game next.

If the ‘Cats plan to have a winning season, they will need to win this game.

Week four opponent Bolivar won their first five games last year and finished with an 8-3 record to reach the playoffs and will be one of the best teams in the region.

A probable 3-2 mark will make McNairy’s

game with Humboldt a crucial contest. The Bobcats will have to beat the Vikings in their stadium where Humboldt only lost to state champion Dresden last year.

The next two games will bring South Gibson and Milan which will mean two tough district games. Milan will be the pre-season favorite to win the region.

Fayette-Ware is no longer a doormat and will be a tough foe for the ‘Cats. The Bobcats will play Westview in the season finale and you can bet the Chargers will be much improved over last year.

Keep cool with fresh fruit drinks

BY MELISSA Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ARABIAN Associated Press

Balmy weather calls for icecold sweet treats; fruity drinks are a natural part of the summertime poolside landscape.

But those drinks are often loaded with sugar, boasting 40 or more grams in even a reasonably-sized drink.

Worse, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruitinessâ&#x20AC;? is RIWHQ IURP Ă&#x20AC;DYRUHG V\UXS LQstead of the actual fruit, which likely translates into highfructose corn syrup and food dyes. Even â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturalâ&#x20AC;? frozen fruit drinks often have a bunch of added sugars. (Remember: White sugar is natural. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean your body needs a ton extra.)

The good news is that making your own fruity drinks is incredibly easy. I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, drinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;aguas frescas,â&#x20AC;? which translates into â&#x20AC;&#x153;fresh waters.â&#x20AC;?

Mexican aguas frescas are made from fresh fruit blended or mashed into cold water and ice.

Living near the border, we would peel fragrant mangoes, and scoop the chunky sweet Ă&#x20AC;HVK LQWR D EOHQGHU ZLWK D FXS of water, ice, a splash of lime juice and (yep!) a little sugar and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d blend into a slushy WUHDW WKDW GHÂżQHG KRW $UL]RQD summers for me.

Now that I have four daughters of my own, I whip up my updated version of the agua fresca of my childhood. I blend up a cup of almost any summer fruit cut into cubes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I love cantaloupe, mango or strawberries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a cup of cold water, a cup of ice, and the secret to a great icy texture: a cup of frozen watermelon cubes.

The frozen watermelon blends up icy and thick, and gives the drink body that

doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t melt away as quickly as ice. And, the blended frozen watermelon helps keep the agua fresca from separating while you sip. Plus, watermelon is refreshing, and mixes easily with all the other summer fruits, allowing them actually to be the star of the drink.

I skip the white sugar altogether, squeezing in a little orange juice instead of the traditional lime juice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it gives the drink just enough tang and a tiny touch of sweetness. (But, if you want to add a spoonful of sugar or agave, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still come out ahead of most overlysweet prepared drink mixes.)

My last agua fresca trick: Pick a contrasting-colored ingredient to add in the last 10 seconds of blending, so you get SUHWW\ Ă&#x20AC;HFNV RI FRORU DQG Ă&#x20AC;Dvor), such as blueberries, mint or basil leaves or even chopped cucumber.

Icy agua fresca Servings: 4 Start to finish: 5 minutes 1 cup frozen seedless watermelon cubes (about 1-inch each) 1 cup strawberries, stemmed and halved (or other summer fruit, like mango or cantaloupe cubes) 1 cup ice-cold water 1 cup ice cubes 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves (or other contrasting ingredient like blueberries, chopped cucumber, or basil) Place the frozen watermelon, the strawberries, water, ice and orange juice in the blender and blend until almost smooth.

Add the chopped mint leaves and blend MXVW XQWLO PL[HG LQ ZLWK YLVLEOH Ă&#x20AC;HFNV about 10 seconds.

Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: For a creamy treat, add a tablespoons of vanilla yogurt before blending.

Home-baked soft pretzels a fun undertaking

BY THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA You know pretzels and have probably eaten them LQ PDQ\ GLĚ&#x2020;HUHQW IRUPV EXW do you know how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made?

They begin with a dough, not unlike any youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made EHIRUH ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;RXU ZDWHU yeast, salt, and butter. After fermentation, to help get that tang we all love, they are shaped into the classic twist. Before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re baked, they are dipped in a foodgrade lye solution, which is responsible for the brown, shiny exterior that calls to us from a bakeshop window.

These pretzels are shaped into classic twists, which is so fun but can be hard for those of us lacking in ÂżQH PRWRU VNLOOV DQG RU patience. Luckily, a pretzel is a pretzel no matter the shape, so if you prefer, you can roll the dough into logs and then cut little bite-size pretzel nuggets. You can also make small, round rolls or bagel shapes - anything little minds can imagine!

And the variations donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Chefâ&#x20AC;? author and Mark Ainsworth suggests: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Add raisins to the dough while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixing, or dust the pretzels with cinnamon sugar before baking to make a great sweet pretzel.â&#x20AC;?

Soft pretzels Servings: 4 Start to finish: 1 hour 55 minutes (Active time: 25 minutes) For the dough 2 cups bread flour 11/2 teaspoons instant yeast 3/4 cup warm (but not hot) water 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 teaspoon honey 21/4 teaspoons salt For the dipping solution 4 cups water

3 tablespoons baking soda Coarse sea salt, as needed for sprinkling To make the dough, in a small bowl, mix together the Ă&#x20AC;RXU DQG \HDVW In the bowl of a stand PL[HU ÂżWWHG ZLWK WKH GRXJK hook attachment, combine the water, butter, honey, and VDOW $GG WKH Ă&#x20AC;RXU PL[ture and mix on low speed until the ingredients are combined, about 1 minute.

Raise the speed to medium and mix until the dough is

smooth, about 3 minutes.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 20 minutes.

Remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 4 equal pieces. Use both hands to roll each piece of dough against the counter into a short log. Place the logs on the counter, loosely cover all of the pieces with plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 minutes.

Roll each piece of dough

under your palms until it is 30 inches long and tapered so that the center is slightly thicker than the ends.

Hold the two ends of the dough in your hands and cross them over each other, to form an X, with the thicker center of the dough at the bottom. Twist the ends again and then bring the two ends down and press each end into the bottom of the pretzel, leaving about 2 inches in between. Press gently to seal the dough.

Transfer the pretzels to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rest at room temperature until the pretzels have doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 F. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the dough forms a skin, about 10 minutes.

While the dough is in the refrigerator, combine the water and baking soda in a large bowl. Stir until the baking soda is dissolved.

Dip each pretzel in the solution and return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the salt while they are wet.

Bake the pretzels until they are dark golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

07/05/17

An attempted sexual assault aftermath Dear Annie: Shortly, I will shower and prepare to spend the day with my ex-boyfriend. “Pat” is 60, and I am 67.

He started drinking when he was 14 and has always been a drinker, but it didn’t interfere too much with our lives until last spring, when he started drinking heavily and stayed drunk for weeks.

It was about a month into his bender when I invited my grown daughter “Elizabeth” to stay while her apartment was being fumigated.

That night, Pat went downstairs to the sofa and attempted to sexually assault her.

She left screaming.

I was in shock.

An hour later, my other daughter, “Samantha,” called and told me to leave and get to her house, that I should not stay with Pat. By the time I got to Samantha’s house, the police were there to interview Elizabeth.

She had called them.

(I did not have any say in this, but I was OK with it.)

They arrested Pat that night.

Dear Annie The next morning, Pat called to ask me to bail him out.

I said no.

I started moving my stuff out, and I moved in with my daughter.

Now comes the hard part. He wants me to be his support while he recovers from all his years of drinking. He does not have any friends. I don’t have any friends anymore, either.

My girls have told me not to see him or talk to him.

They have made very clear that if I do, I won’t be part of this family.

But I feel so bad for him.

Is there a way to open dialogue with my daughters so I can do this?

I will not return to him as his girlfriend.

I will not move back to that house or spend a night there.

I am seeing a counselor, and so is he.

Should I try, or should I walk away for good? — “Margaret”

Dear Margaret: If you’ve written to me looking for the answer your counselor won’t give you, I’ll have to disappoint you.

You must run, not walk, away from this man and into the arms of your loving daughters.

It sounds as if those two can offer the clearheaded perspective you so badly need right now.

Do not alienate them by spending more time with the man who attempted to assault Elizabeth.

What he did is unforgivable.

Your desire to rescue him, your belief that you’re responsible for his happiness — these are classic traits of people who live with alcoholics.

Please seriously consider attending an Al-Anon meeting.
