Board OKs pair of 4-way stops BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A pair of new four-way stops are set for the streets of Corinth. Several others are also proposed, and another one may be removed. During Tuesday’s session, the Board of Aldermen approved the creation of fourway stops at the intersection of Douglas Street and Cruise Street and at the intersection of Franklin Street and Wick Street. The board is also interested in public feedback on proposed four-way stops at: ■Taylor Street and 3rd Street

Producers tour farms on Forage Field Day BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

Area farmers went looking for answers Tuesday morning. Mississippi State University specialists provided the information they were seeking during the Alcorn County Forage Field Day. Around 30 producers toured

three farms in the county as MSU specialists spoke about specific areas. “Producers are getting a wide range of information they can use to maximize their property,� said Patrick Poindexter, Alcorn County Director with the Mississippi State Extension Service. “Specialists are

covering a gamut of everything ‌ there is a lot of information packed into a short field day.� The field day, made possible through a NRCS Mississippi Grazing Land Coalition Initiative grant, gave participants a chance to tour the farms of Billy Please see FARMS | 3A

One of the most important parts of the Alcorn County Relay For Life was a wash out when the event was originally held in late May. Local event chair Lori Moore recently announced a new date for the luminaria ceremony. The event is set for Friday, July 25 at 8 p.m., at the soccer field in Crossroads Regional Park. “We were able to get the survivor walk and survivor din-

McNairy Central named Alcorn County Fair lineup announced one of nation’s best schools BY STEVE BEAVERS

sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

For the Daily Corinthian

Word is beginning to spread that McNairy Central is one of the best high schools in the nation. MCHS has been recognized by US News and World Report as one of the 2014 U.S. News Best High Schools. U.S. News analyzes 31,242 public high schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. That number was reduced to 19,411 schools, which is the total number of public high schools across that county that had enough 12-grade enrollment and sufficient data from the 20112012 school year to be eligible for the rankings. McNairy Central Principal Mickey Murphy was pleased, but was not surprised when he heard the school had been honored with the award. “I have been at McNairy Central as a teacher and principal and I knew it was a

great school,� said Murphy. “I’ve known all along that our school was a top school. I’m proud someone else has noticed that we provide a great education for our students.� To produce the 2014 U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools rankings, U.S. News teamed up with the Washington, D.C.-based American Institutes for Research, one of the largest behavioral and social science research organizations in the world. “I feel this award could change the perception in a positive way for our school,� commented Murphy. “I hope our students will take this honor.� AIR implemented the U.S. News comprehensive rankings methodology, which is based on the key principles that a great high school must Please see MCNAIRY | 3A

Alcorn County Fair organizers are ready to ride. The 4th annual event will be packed with five days of oldtime fun and even some clowning around at the Crossroads Arena on September 16-20. Ranchey Productions will headline the final two nights of the fair with bull riding events on Sept. 19-20. “People will want to see this type of action,� said fair committee member Danny Turner. “The bull riding is a good fit with our two goals of providing old-time fun and helping children in Alcorn County.� “Most fairs are associated with rodeo-type events,� added the committee’s Sandy Mitchell. “This is something we have been wanting to do for some time.� Some of usual exciting events return in 2014. A cheer-off is slated for night one at 7 p.m. REVOLVE, a contemporary Christian event, is back again

NAACP awards scholarships For the Daily Corinthian

The Alcorn County Branch of the NAACP awarded scholarships to three area graduating seniors for 2014. The scholarships were awarded based on essays by the students. A $500 scholarship goes to Corinth High School graduate Tetra Tynes. With a 4.03 grade point average, she plans to attend the University of Mississippi. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sammie Tynes of Corinth. A $300 scholarship goes to Manesha Green,

an Alcorn Central High School graduate who plans to attend Northeast Mississippi Community College. She is the daughter of Leola King of Corinth. Biggersville High School graduate Jerwarsha Montell Marshall will receive a $200 scholarship. The son of Kathy Marshall of Rienzi, he plans to attend the University of North Alabama.

Former students praise McNairy Central is a parent happy to send his three children to his old school. “As a student, it was the place where I formed friendships that have lasted a lifetime. It’s where I met Christy (Mulder McMahan) and where I had the best times of my life with her and friends without the stress of worries of life,” said Judge McMahan. “The primary reason Christy and I moved back home from Birmingham was because we knew we could trust McNairy County’s school system above others. We trust the teachers and administration to provide a safe place for them to learn at McNairy Central and teach my children the things they need to know to be successful in college and life.” Samantha Washburn Martin, an RN in Jackson, said the school still floods her mind with many happy memories and allowed her to form lifelong friendships with others she would not have met without the consolidated school. “I will always consider McNairy Central to be my “home” and feel honored to be a graduate of MCHS,” remarked Martin. “McNairy Central is a public school with the options of a private school. I was able to participate in many extracurricular activities while having the opportunity to take AP classes. I was able to earn college credit before I ever entered a college classroom.”

Today is Wednesday, July 16, the 197th day of 2014. There are 168 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On July 16, 1945, the United States exploded its first experimental atomic bomb in the desert of Alamogordo, N.M.

On this date In 1935, the first parking meters were installed in Oklahoma City. In 1951, the novel “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger was first published by Little, Brown and Co. In 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq. In 1980, former California Gov. Ronald Reagan won the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention. In 1981, singer Harry Chapin was killed when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer on New York’s Long Island Expressway. In 1989, conductor Herbert von Karajan died near Salzburg, Austria, at age 81. In 1994, the first of 21 pieces of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into Jupiter, to the joy of astronomers awaiting the celestial fireworks. In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, Carolyn, and her sister, Lauren Bessette, died when their single-engine plane, piloted by Kennedy, plunged into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.

Ten years ago Martha Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and five months of home confinement by a federal judge in New York for lying about a stock sale. Some 90 children were killed in a school fire in southern India.

Five years ago Saying that civil rights leaders from decades past had paved the way for his election as the nation’s first black commander in chief, President Barack Obama paid homage to the NAACP during a convention in New York, and advised members that their work remained unfinished.

While McNairy Central may not have gotten the proper respect for the academic strong points of the school in the past, the recognition of MCHS by US News as one of the Best Schools in the Nation will help improve the school’s academic image. The award was not a surprise to graduates that spent their high school days on the “Hill” getting an education. Nashville attorney Mary Lauren Walden Teague bubbles over with praise while talking about her alma mater. “The attentive, caring faculty and staff combined with passionate students make MCHS an inspiring learning environment where I was equipped to face the challenges of college and later law school. I wouldn’t trade my high school experience at MCHS for anything,” said Teague. “McNairy Central was brand new when I began attending school there in the 10th grade,” said Molly Webb Meiseinheimer, of Oxford. “The ‘bricks and mortar’ was the way students from rural schools came together to form an united student body. It was exciting and fun with a wonderful educational curriculum. Plus, all the towns around us were jealous of our great school!” McNairy County General Sessions Judge Van McMahan is proud to be a graduate of the school and now

Former McNairy Central student and teacher Jim Glover, now a teacher/teacher at Jackson North Side, has a good perspective on the school where his mother Dr. Martha Glover served as principal and teacher. “McNairy Central gave me a great education,” said Glover. “Our teachers challenged us to achieve more than we thought we were capable of at that time.” Lori Donaldson Knerr, owner of Bellevue MediSpa in Nashville, is proud to say she is an alumnus of McNairy Central. “My four years there were some of the best of my life! I was able to keep a great balance of extra-curricular activities and academics,” said Knerr. “We had three or four AP classes at the time and I took two, so I began MTSU with six hours of college credit.” Misti Garner Gray, a RN, is a big booster of MCHS and she pinpoints an outstanding faculty as a key reason the school has been so successful. “MCHS had always been one of the top schools in the nation. The reason is the same reason it was when I graduated 21 years ago, quality teachers,” praised Gray. “The teachers at MCHS offer students enough nurturing to provide them with confidence and allows them enough freedom to learn to think independently. This has served me well in my adult life.”

serve all of its students well, not just those who are college bound, and that it must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show the school is successfully educating its student body across a range of performance indicators. A three-step process determined the Best High Schools. The first two steps ensured that the schools serve all of their students well, using performance on state proficiency tests as the benchmarks. For those schools that made it past the first two steps, a third step assessed the degree to which schools prepare students for college-level work. The first step determined whether each school’s students were performing better than statistically expected for the average student in the state. For those schools that made it past this first step, the second step determined whether the school’s least-advantaged students — black, Hispanic and low-income — were performing better than average for similar students in the state. Schools that made it through the first two steps became eligible to be judged nationally on the final step — collegereadiness performance — using Advanced Placement test data as the benchmarks for success. There were categories named by US News. McNairy Central was listed in the bronze category. MCHS was one of just 88 schools in the state to be honored this year by US News. McNairy Central achieved this award despite that 53 percent of the students are considered economically disadvantage. The school’s students almost reached 70 proficiency in Algebra and English. McNairy Central’s requirements for graduation are higher than most area schools because of the senior projects that each student must pass to get a diploma.

Corinth, Miss.

More gray hairs for Obama No matter how much you love your children, if you were a parent in Honduras, you might be tempted to ship them to the United States. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Roger Crime, Honduras has the highSimon est murder rate in the world. In 2012, Honduras had 90.4 Columnist homicides per 100,000 people. The United States had 4.8. Canada had 1.6. Mexico had 21.5. Honduras is also very poor. Unemployment is high, and there is less development than even in Haiti. There are also gangs that recruit, enslave and murder children. So if you were a Honduran parent and smugglers offered you a chance to get your child to the United States, you might take it, assuming you could gather the money to pay. In recent weeks, we have seen numerous stories about the explosive increase in the number of children who are making the long and dangerous crossing of Mexico to the U.S. border from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Our Border Patrol arrested fewer than 4,000 unaccompanied minors from those three countries in 2011, but more than 52,000 have been arrested since October. If these children were from Mexico, they would be turned around at the border and sent back quickly. But a special law passed in 2008 to combat human trafficking guarantees children from countries that do not border the United States a hearing before an immigration judge and legal advice, including lawyers. Any good immigration lawyer can slow down the legal process and keep the children in the U.S. for year after year. A few weeks ago, President Barack Obama had a simple message to Central American countries. “Do not send your children to the borders,” Obama said. “If they do make it, they’ll get sent back. More importantly, they may not make it.” As if he just awoke from a deep slumber, Obama now wants an immediate $3.7 billion from Congress to fight a problem he has ignored for years. He wants to give $1.8 billion to the Health and Human Services Department to better care for the immigrant children in the United States. Next, Obama wants to give $1.5 billion to the Department of Homeland Security to beef up border security with more overtime for agents, more aerial surveillance and more drones. That would be a waste. These children from Central America are not fleeing from our Border Patrol agents; they are fleeing to them. These children want to surrender, enter the legal process and find a home here. Obama also wants $300 million to go to the State Department to help “stabilize” the Central American countries that the kids are fleeing -- a nice thought, but how much of that $300 million would end up in the pockets of politicians and other criminals? And lastly, Obama wants $64 million for the Justice Department to hire more immigration judges so he can send the children back to Central America more quickly and to hire more asylum lawyers to fight to keep the children here. My go-to guy on immigration is Bruce Morrison, a former Democratic congressman from Connecticut who was chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, a member of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform and House author of the Immigration Act of 1990. He is now an immigration attorney and lobbies on a wide variety of immigration issues. “This is not a border security issue,” he said. “The border isn’t insecure. We don’t need more people to catch these people. We have no trouble catching these kids. “And if we have $3.7 billion to spend, I am not sure it’s best spent on more lawyers in the United States. This is a job program for bureaucrats.” Morrison thinks Obama gets very little credit for what he does do right on immigration: hundreds of thousands of “border removals” each year, in which people who get stopped at the border without documents are promptly sent back to their home countries. Morrison also thinks that too much is being made over the 50,000 or so undocumented children who have shown up on our doorstep, considering we have 11 million undocumented people in the country already. “Let’s not panic and send people back to their deaths,” Morrison said. “These are children.” Obama said he wanted to make comprehensive immigration reform his top priority for his second term. But this new immigration problem is not the one he wanted to tangle with. “This is just something that is going to give him 10,000 more gray hairs,” Morrison said. (Daily Corinthian columnist Roger Simon is chief political columnist of politico.com, an award-winning journalist and a New York Times best selling author.)

Obama pays price for immigration inaction The flood of underage -and non-underage -- illegal immigrants from Central America coming across the border in Texas is, to paraphrase a former Obama administration official, a “man-caused disaster.” The man who caused it, more than anyone else, is Barack Obama. Speaking at political fundraisers in Dallas and Austin last week, Obama placed the blame on House Republicans for not having passed a comprehensive immigration bill as the Democratic-majority Senate did in June 2013. But it wasn’t only Republicans who failed to pass such a bill. House Democrats didn’t pass one either in 2009 or 2010, when they had a bigger majority than Republicans have had in 80 years. House Democrats’ priorities were the stimulus package, Obamacare and cap-and-trade legislation to address supposed global warming. They passed all three despite negative polling. In the short run Barack Obama paid no political price for the Democrats’ decision to sidestep immigration. The only time he got pressed on the issue was a grilling by Univision’s

Jorge Ramos in September 2012. Obama carried 71 percent of Hispanic votes in NoMichael vember. Barone But he missed the Columnist chance to pass comprehensive immigration reform -- by his own choice. The second thing that led to the flood of underage illegals was Obama’s declaration in June 2012, five months before the election, that he would not enforce immigration laws against so-called “dreamers,” young adults brought over the border illegally as children who also met certain conditions. This was a popular move not only among Hispanics but among voters generally. The idea of deporting people who have graduated from high school, are going to college or working or serving in the military is unappealing to almost everyone. Obama complained then that the Republican House failed to pass a dream act. But his announcement that he would not faithfully execute the law has had reverberations leading to the current crisis. One is that House Repub-

licans are unwilling to pass any immigration legislation that gives him discretion on how to enforce the law. They seem to be bridling at passing the $3.7 billion package he’s seeking to address the problem for which he’s largely responsible -the underage illegal flood. They want a provision adding Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador as countries to which underage illegals can promptly be deported. Currently the William Wilberforce AntiTrafficking Act of 2008 provides exceptions only for Canada and Mexico. Liberals want to treat the underage illegals as something like political refugees, fleeing from countries with horrifying high crime rates. That means letting them stay here indefinitely. That seems to be what is happening. The young people are being shipped to relatives and friends and told to come to immigration hearings when they can be held. Few probably will. There seems little doubt that this is understood in Central America. There wouldn’t be such a large surge of people crossing the border illegally if people had not gotten they idea that they had permisos to do so. The flood at the border

has seriously undermined the argument that legalization will not trigger another rush of illegal immigration, as the 1986 legislation did. And it has undermined as well those in both parties who argue that this administration can be trusted to secure the border. So the debate about immigration inevitably moves away from legalization and toward deportation and enforcement. All this moves the focus even further away from the immigration reform that the country really needs and that the 2013 Senate bill does only a little to address: the need for more high-skill immigrants. Texas Gov. Rick Perry warned Obama two years ago that the current flood would occur. Obama paid no heed. As an old saying of mine goes, nothing is free in politics, but there is some question when you pay the price. Obama is paying now.

Columnist without a ’do My hair stylist, Joyce, is at the beach on holiday, and I want to stick my head in the sand. I should have made an appointment last week. Why is hair at its best one day, then at its worst the very next? Our heads should come equipped with something akin to a car’s oil dipstick so we’d know when we’re running out of vital fluid: hair color. It is moments like this when I remember what a stylist in Paris (yes, France, darn it, not Tennessee!) said to me when I told her I wanted only a cut, please, not color. At the time I had decided I was embracing my gray. Color was too much trouble, especially if you’re on the road a lot. And I am. “No, no, no!” the chic stylist dressed all in black said in that wonderful dramatic way the French have. “You

have plenty of time to be gray later.” Except she said “laytuh,” and suddenly getRheta ting a dye job Johnson sounded like a reprieve Columnist from Heaven. That was the only cut and color I ever bought in France. It was terrific, but, face it, nobody of normal means can fly to Paris every time she needs a new look -- or her old look back. Back here on Earth I forget to make appointments and go from Zero to Ninety on the need scale in a day. Then I’m trapped in a horrid look that could best be compared to old World Book illustrations of the layers of the Earth: crust, mantle and

core. Black, gray, red. Not a becoming color scheme on a woman’s head. So I do what I do every time I’m in a fix like this. I look at comforting Internet garbage that has headlines like this: “Celebrities Without Their Makeup!” “Celebrities Who Should Have Avoided Plastic Surgery!” “Jennifer Aniston’s Unexpected Haircut!” “Stars Who Have Not Aged Well!” I feel better instantly. Well, not instantly, because it takes a while for those photos to download, but quickly enough. If Goldie Hawn really looks like that without makeup, I’m in great shape. If Gwyneth Paltrow has no eyebrows, who needs ‘em? I know what Dolly Parton said. There is no such thing as natural beauty. Except when you’re young.

In my 20s and 30s, I got my hair cut by my motherin-law about twice a year. I remembered makeup only on Saturday night. I ate and drank what I wanted and still knew my size. My grandmother Lucille, another country philosopher, once said, “Beauty sags just like ugly.” She didn’t believe in makeup or pedal pushers, but I couldn’t help but note that she kept a weekly beauty parlor appointment. She wasn’t stupid. Hair is a woman’s crowning glory. That’s biblical. But until Joyce returns from holiday, I’ll be hiding my Neapolitan glory under a bushel.

Prayer for today

A verse to share

My Father, help me to learn through kindness and tenderness the value of self-control. Help me in the moods of jealousy and impatience, that I may not cause others unhappiness by words or deeds. Teach me how to overcome the ways that keep me discontented, that I may have a brighter speech. Amen.

“Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.” -- Psalms 31:21

Lawyer accuses clergy of cover-up A canon lawyer alleging a widespread coverup of clergy sex misconduct in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has made her most detailed claims yet, accusing archbishops and their top staff of lying to the public and of ignoring the U.S. bishops’ pledge to have no tolerance of priests who abuse. Jennifer Haselberger, who spent five years as Archbishop John Nienstedt’s archivist and top adviser on Roman Catholic church law, also charged that the church used a chaotic system of record-keeping that helped conceal the backgrounds of guilty priests who remained on assignment. Haselberger said that when she started examining records in 2008 of clergy under restrictions over sex misconduct with adults and children she found “nearly 20” of the 48 men still in ministry. She said she repeatedly warned Nienstedt and his aides about the risk of these placements, but they took action only in one case.

Pregnant employee guidelines updated WASHINGTON -- Pregnant women have new protections against onthe-job discrimination. The government has updated 30-year-old guidelines, citing “the persistence of overt pregnancy discrimination, as well as the emergence of more subtle discriminatory practices.” The new guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission make clear that any form of workplace discrimination or harassment against pregnant workers by employers is a form of sex discrimination and illegal. They prohibit employers from forcing pregnant workers to take leave and acknowledge that “employers may have to provide light duty for pregnant workers.” After childbirth, lactation is now covered as a pregnancy-related medical condition.

Residents protest amid rumors of bus ORACLE, Ariz. -- Protesters carrying “Return to Sender” and “Go home non-Yankees” signs faced off with immigrant rights activists Tuesday in a small Arizona town after a sheriff said a bus filled with Central American children was on its way. The rallies demonstrated the deep divide of the immigration debate as groups on both sides — and in similar numbers — showed up in Oracle to speak out on the issue. It turned heated at times, with shouting matches and a group of mariachi musicians getting shoved before the skirmishes were quelled. Anger has been spreading in the town of Oracle since Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu warned residents last week that immigrant children from Central America caught crossing the border illegally would be placed at the Sycamore Canyon Academy in Oracle. Protesters were hoping to mirror demonstrations in Murrieta, California, when immigrants were taken there recently.

Pingpong balls fall on road by mistake BLACKFOOT, Idaho -- A pilot who dropped 3,000 pingpong balls that were redeemable for prizes missed a crowd assembled for the stunt and instead hit a nearby interstate.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Californians increased water consumption this year during the severe drought, despite pleas from the governor to conserve, fallowed farm fields and reservoirs that are quickly draining, according to a report released Tuesday. The new figures surfaced as state water regulators prepared to vote later in the day on fines up to $500 a day for people who waste water on landscaping, fountains, washing vehicles and other outdoor uses. The numbers underscore the need for action, State Water Resources Control Board Chairwoman Felicia Marcus said. “Not everybody in California understands how bad this drought is ... and how bad it could be,” she said. “There are communities in danger of running out of water all over the state.” The report says overall consumption jumped 1 percent, even as Gov. Jerry Brown has called for a 20 percent cutback. It corrected survey results released

Across The State

Organizers immediately called off the contest. Aaron Moon and helpers on Saturday told revelers at Blackfoot Pride Days not to risk retrieving the pingpong balls amid high-speed traffic because organizes still planned to pass out the prizes. Most of the pingpong balls could have been exchanged for candy, but some were worth gift certificates up to $100. Moon says a new pilot attempted the drop this year, but apparently didn’t understand that pingpong balls lose speed quickly and drop straight down.

Stolen Tillamook cheese vans found MANTECA, Calif. -- Three bright orange Tillamook cheese vans that were stolen over the weekend in Central California were located undamaged, police said on Tuesday. Manteca police said authorities found the restored Volkswagen minibuses, worth $100,000 each, in a recently rented storage locker in Copperopolis around 8:30 p.m. Monday. They were stolen from a hotel about 50 miles away in Manteca, where they had stopped on a tour promoting the Oregonbased Tillamook County Creamery Association’s dairy products. Authorities served a search warrant on the locker after a task force that includes the California Highway Patrol and the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office received a phone tip, Manteca Police Chief Nick Obligacion said.

Deputy on probation for punching man ABERDEEN -- A former Monroe County sheriff’s deputy has been ordered to serve probation on charges he punched a man while on duty. A federal court indictment says Danny Earl Starks punched the man in the head and face with his fist in October 2012. Authorities say Starks had responded to a domestic violence call and had handcuffed the man to arrest him. They say Starks punched him twice after he spit on the deputy. WTVA TV Starks pleaded guilty earlier this month before a federal magistrate to misdemeanor charges. He was ordered Monday to serve probation for two years and 80 hours of community service.

Epps: Walnut Grove fight gang-related JACKSON -- Mississippi corrections officials say four guards have been suspended from the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility in the aftermath of a fight among inmates at the prison. Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps provided an update on the investigation during a federal court hearing. Nine inmates were hurt last week in a fight that authorities suggest came after the arrest of a man trying to smuggle contraband into the prison. Epps says the investigation determined one guard was to escort an inmate into the prison

yard to collect items that were to be tossed over the fence. A Dec. 31 fight between two gangs left 16 inmates hurt at the central Mississippi prison. Epps told U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves that both incidents were gang-related.

Mom arrested for hiding meth on child BRANDON -- A Rankin County judge has set bond at $50,000 for a mother arrested about a week ago for hiding meth in her daughter’s pants. WJTV reports 35-yearold Margaret Lopez Carrillo had her initial appearance in court Tuesday morning. She was charged with felony possession and felony obstruction for attempting to destroy or hide evidence. Police pulled Carrillo over during traffic stop in Pearl. Authorities say they searched the vehicle with her consent and found a crack pipe. They also discovered meth hidden in her 5-year-old daughter’s pants. Officials say Carrillo’s 12-year-old daughter tried to hide the evidence per mother’s instructions. Carrillo’s children are still in the custody of the Department of Human Services.

Ex-teacher convicted in nude selfies case MCCOMB -- A former North Pike Middle School teacher accused of showing nude photos of himself to students has pleaded no contest in

Pike County Court. Court records show 34-year-old James David Clements of McComb entered the plea Friday to one misdemeanor count of contributing to the neglect of a minor. A no contest plea isn’t an admission of guilt but is treated as such for sentencing. The Enterprise-Journal reports Clements was given a six-month suspended sentence. He was directed he have no contact with the victims and to undergo one year of unsupervised probation. The misdemeanor conviction does not require Clements to register as a sex offender. According to the affidavits, victims alleged Clements of directly showing them nude cellphone photos of him.

Inmate walks away from work detail PURVIS -- Lamar County sheriff’s deputies are searching for an inmate that walked off from a work detail. Sheriff Danny Rigel tells WDAM TV Matthew Wayne Thompson also allegedly stole a county vehicle Tuesday near Bellevue and Highway 98. The vehicle is a white Ford, 15 passenger van with Lamar County written on the side and pulling a 12 foot black trailer. He says Thompson was sentenced to the Lamar County work program Monday for receiving stolen property. Rigel says the inmate was wearing an orange shirt, with inmate worker on the back, and blue jeans.

House passes highway bill as deadline looms Associated Press

WASHINGTON — With an August deadline looming, the House voted Tuesday to temporarily patch over a multibillion-dollar pothole in federal highway and transit programs while ducking the issue of how to put them on a sound financial footing for the long term. The action cobbles together $10.8 billion by using pension tax changes, customs fees and money from a fund

to repair leaking underground fuel storage tanks to keep the federal Highway Trust Fund, which pays for transportation programs nationwide, solvent through May 2015. The vote was 367 to 55. A similar bill is pending in the Senate. Without congressional action, the Transportation Department says that by the first week in August the fund will no longer have enough money to cover promised aid to states.

Haslams’ company won’t be charged Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The truck-stop company owned by Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam may have put the worst behind it after federal attorneys agreed not to prosecute Pilot Flying J for cheating customers. In an agreement with prosecutors, the nation’s largest diesel retailer acknowledges that employees cheated trucking companies out of promised fuel rebates and discounts. Pilot has agreed to pay a $92 million penalty, which is within the range of what the company would be expected to pay if convicted at trial. Nashville criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor David Raybin, who is not involved but has followed the case, said the agreement most likely signals that Knoxville-based Pilot’s CEO Jimmy Haslam, who has said he had no knowledge of the scheme, will not face charges. “No prosecutor would enter into an agreement like this, ask for this kind of sanction, unless they didn’t have enough evidence to indict Haslam,” he said. “Also, Pilot would not agree to pay unless they felt the government would not prosecute him.” Gov. Bill Haslam holds an undisclosed ownership share in the company but has said he is not involved in Pilot’s day-to-day operations. Pilot has annual revenues of around $30 billion. The agreement is good for the company, Raybin said, because, “if a company gets indicted, that’s ruinous, even if they’re not convicted.” But although the worst may be over for Pilot, there could still be further prosecutions of current and for-

mer employees. The agreement signed by U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee Bill Killian requires Pilot to comply with several conditions, including cooperation with the ongoing investigation of people who may have been involved in the fraud. The agreement does not protect any individual at Pilot from prosecution. Several individual trucking companies are suing Pilot for fraudulently withholding discounts and rebates, although the majority of customers participated in a class-action settlement in which Pilot agreed to pay out nearly $85 million last November. Since federal agents raided Pilot’s Knoxville headquarters in April 2013, 10 former employees have pleaded guilty to the scheme, which was known by a variety of euphemisms including “manual rebates.” FBI special agent Robert H. Root said in an affidavit filed in federal court last year that the scheme involved sales team members reducing the amount of money that was due to trucking company customers they deemed too unsophisticated to notice. The scheme was widely known in the sales department, according to court documents, with supervisors teaching other employees how to do it. Court records said the scheme lasted from at least 2007 until an FBI raid in April 2013. In May, several top executives abruptly left the company. Pilot officials have not said why the employees left, but the agreement with prosecutors acknowledges that the company has terminated or placed on leave employees who violated company policies.

Review: Systematic errors led to bridge collapse The Associated Press

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Insufficient route planning, a distracted pilot driver and an inadequate permitting process by the state of Washington all played a part in last year’s Interstate 5 bridge collapse north of Seattle, which sent two cars into a river below, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday. The board voted unanimously after a nearly twohour hearing to issue a number of recommendations, including encouraging states to ban nonessential cellphone use by pilot car drivers and requiring better warnings of low-clearance bridges, as well as lane-specific guidance for bridge clearance. Chris Hart, acting chairman of the fourmember board, said the

wide-ranging report provided by NTSB staff showed the “many missed opportunities to prevent this accident.” “Movement of oversized loads is a specialized operation that demands special precautions,” he said. “What this investigation uncovered were multiple gaps in multiple systems.” Board member Mark Rosekind said the report showed “there were holes in every one of these slices of cheese.” A section of the bridge fell into the water in May 2013 after a truck carrying a tall load hit the bridge in Mount Vernon, about 60 miles north of Seattle. Two other vehicles fell into the Skagit River, and three people were rescued with minor injuries. William Scott, who was

driving the truck with the tall load for Mullen Trucking, told investigators a freight truck came up fast on his left. He said he drove to the bridge’s right side, which had a lower vertical clearance than the center lane. According to the investigation, Scott thought his load was 15 feet, 9 inches — about 2 inches shorter than it actually was. The top of the load collided with the far right side of the overhead truss structure. The state Department of Transportation automatically issued Mullen Trucking an oversize-load permit over the Internet, without personnel review and without comparing the given dimensions to the proposed route, according to Tuesday’s staff presentation. NTSB staff noted an

automatic permit process does not motivate carriers to conduct route surveys ahead of time to ensure their loads are within the clearance limits. The pilot vehicle’s driver, Tammy Detray, told investigators the clearance pole mounted on her vehicle never struck the bridge. She also said she was using her cellphone on a hands-free device at the time of the accident. “Her entire reason for being there was to protect the oversize vehicle and the vehicles that shared the roadway with her, and yet she jeopardized the safety of others because of a cellphone call,” board member Robert Sumwalt said. Sumwalt asked staff whether the accident could have been avoided if Detray had notified

Scott of the low clearance. He was told Scott was following Detray too closely to stop safely. The investigation showed Scott was about 400 feet, or about five seconds, behind the pilot car, instead of the 865 feet, or 10 seconds, he should have been trailing by. Safety recommendations also approved by the board include asking the Federal Highway Administration to develop a guide for states on how to prevent bridge strikes, including collecting and sharing data, and evaluating and reviewing bridge strike countermeasures. In a written statement, state Department of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson said the agency already has started working on improving access to data

for the freight industry, and would work with the industry and Legislature for any recommendations that require legislative action. “We all aim to provide the safest conditions possible for the traveling public,” she wrote. As for the other changes, including to the permitting process oversight, spokesman Lars Erickson said the department will move on making revisions. “That’s our commitment,” he said. The 59-year-old Skagit bridge carries an average of 71,000 vehicles a day over the river on I-5, Washington’s major north-south roadway between Oregon and Canada. Workers installed an emergency span and then replaced it with a permanent one in September.

Congress disagrees with VA’s backlog progress assessment The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs says it has made “tremendous progress” in reducing a disability claims backlog that reached above 600,000 early last year. Members of Congress and the department’s assistant inspector general don’t believe it. Allison Hickey, the VA’s undersecretary for benefits, told Congress that at the insistence of officials from President Barack Obama on down, the benefits backlog has been whittled down to about 275,000 — a 55 percent decrease from the peak. Hickey’s claims were met with disbelief by some. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, told her flatly that he thinks the VA’s numbers are inaccurate. “I don’t believe anybody at the table is telling the truth from the VA,” Miller said at a contentious hearing that lasted more than five hours Monday night. “I believe you are hiding numbers.” Asked if she trusted numbers produced by VA, the agency’s assistant inspector general, Linda Halliday, said no. “I don’t want to say I trust them,” Halliday said. In a report issued earlier Monday, Halliday said that in its rush to reduce the backlog of disability claims, the VA has made benefits payments of more than $85 million to veterans who lacked adequate medical evidence that they deserve them.

Without improvements, the VA could make unsupported payments to veterans totaling about $371 million over the next five years for claims of 100 percent disability alone, Halliday said. The IG’s office also found widespread problems at VA regional offices in Philadelphia and Baltimore, including mail bins full of disability claims and associated evidence that had not been electronically scanned for three years. “Improved financial stewardship at the agency is needed,” Halliday told the House veterans panel. “More attention is critical to minimize the financial risk of making inaccurate benefit payments.” Special initiatives designed to remove older claims and speed processing of new claims are worthwhile, Halliday said, but in some cases they “have had an adverse impact on other workload areas” such as managing appeals filed by veterans and reducing overpayments to veterans. Hickey defended her agency, saying the department has spent the past four years redesigning and streamlining the way it delivers benefits and services to veterans. Last year, the Veterans Benefits Administration, which she oversees, completed a record 1.2 million disability rating claims, Hickey said. The agency is on track to complete more than 1.3 million rating claims this year and pay a total of $67 billion in benefits — about half the VA’s budget, Hickey

said. More than 90 percent of the claims are being processed electronically, she said. The VA has long struggled to cope with disability claims. The backlog intensified in recent years as more solders returned from Iraq and Afghanistan, and as the VA made it easier for Vietnam-era veterans to get disability compensation stemming from exposure to Agent Orange. The VA has set a goal to process all claims within 125 days at 98 percent accuracy in 2015, but so far has fallen far short. The agency now processes most claims within 154 days — or more than five months — at a 90 percent accuracy rate, compared with an accuracy rate of 86 percent three years ago, Hickey said. At one point, veterans were forced to wait an average nine to 10 months for their disability claims to be processed. “It has never been acceptable to VA ... that our

veterans are experiencing long delays in receiving the benefits they have earned and deserve,” Hickey said, adding that she was “saddened and offended” by related problems that have plagued VA health centers in recent months. Investigators have found long waits for appointments at VA hospitals and clinics, and falsified records to cover up the delays. Halliday, in her report, said she found similar problems with the benefits agency, including faulty claims processing that “increases the risk of improper payments to veterans and their families.” Inspectors surveying Philadelphia’s VA benefits center in June found mail bins brimming with claims and associated evidence dating to 2011 that had not been electronically scanned, she said. Inspectors also found evidence that staffers at the Philadelphia regional

unopened mail was being shredded, Ruell opened the boxes and took photos. Instead of addressing the problem, she said, VA supervisors enacted a policy prohibiting taking photos. After VA officials in Washington issued a directive last year ordering that a backlog of claims older than 125 days be reduced, the Philadelphia office “took this to mean that they could change the dates of every claim older than six weeks,” Ruell said. While pension center managers later told the IG’s office that the mislabeling was based on a misunderstanding of the directive, Ruell said, “these behaviors are intentional.” “The VA’s problems are a result of morally bankrupt managers that through time and (government service) grade have moved up into powerful positions where they have the power to and continue to ruin people’s lives,” Ruell said.

The findings are similar to problems in which investigators have found long waits for appointments at VA hospitals and clinics, and falsified records to cover up the delays. In Baltimore, investigators discovered that an employee had inappropriately stored in his office thousands of documents, including some that contained Social Security data, “for an extensive period of time.” About 8,000 documents, including 80 claims folders, unprocessed mail and Social Security information of dead or incarcerated veterans, were stored in the employee’s office, Halliday said. Kristen Ruell, an employee at the VA’s Pension Management Center in Philadelphia, told the committee that mail routinely “sat in boxes untouched for years” at the pension office.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian The Daily Corinthian family of quality magazines continues with the presentation of Crossroads Magazine Lifestyles Plus edition on Aug. 2 and Crossroads Magazine Homes on Aug. 30.

Booklet helps nervous parents talk to kids, teens about sex D E A R ABBY: Help! My daughter just turned 13, and I need to discuss the facts of life with Abigail her. I don’t where Van Buren know to start. My mom Dear Abby told me absolutely NOTHING, and I know my daughter needs to be educated in a simple but very understandable way -especially in these times. Do you still have your booklet that gives teens answers to questions on sex? I need ideas on how to approach this. -- NERVOUS MOM IN ILLINOIS DEAR NERVOUS MOM: Because many parents find the subject of sex embarrassing, they postpone discussing it with their children. When “the talk” finally happens, it is often too late. Their child’s head is filled with information received from contemporaries, and often what they’ve heard is inaccurate. Today, children are maturing years earlier than they did a generation ago. It’s not unusual to hear about teens engaging in adult activi-

ties at much younger ages than teens of earlier generations. That is why it’s so important for parents (and guardians) to begin discussions about alcohol, drugs and family values well before their children start experimenting. My booklet, “What Every Teen Should Know,” was written to help parents break the ice and get the conversation going. It can be ordered by sending your name and address plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Teen Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. You should review it before starting the discussion so you can prepare beforehand to answer questions or guide the conversation. My booklet provides answers to frequently asked questions, such as: How old must a girl be before she can get pregnant? Can she get pregnant the first time she has sex? What time of the month is a girl 100 percent safe? How old must a boy be before he can father a child? Another important topic is how to avoid date rape and what to do if it happens. Included is information on con-

traception and sexually transmitted diseases (and how to recognize them). My booklet has been distributed in doctors’ offices and used to promote discussion by educators and religious leaders, as well as parents like you who find it difficult to discuss these topics with their children. DEAR ABBY: I recently started a summer job in the fitting room of a clothing store. Customers often ask me what I think about their outfits, and the most common question is, “Does this make me look fat?” How do I answer if the outfit DOES make the woman look fat? These women want honesty, but how do I avoid sounding rude? -- CONFLICTED IN NEW JERSEY DEAR CONFLICTED: Try this: “The color is great on you. Let’s get it in another size and it’ll be perfect. Sometimes garments have been mismarked.” (It’s true.) 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). What’s the deal -- can material things really make you happy? Today it seems like maybe they can, or at least they can make you temporarily giddy. The proper upkeep of your possessions attracts more to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You put off an aura of power -some would even say you are intimidating. An associate might be white-knuckled because of having to report to you. Put someone at ease, and they’ll do their best work. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Couples hit their stride and work together beautifully. Singles: Look for someone who already fits your qualifications. Otherwise, you wind up in a romance based on molding someone, which is exhausting! CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everything starts with the germ of an idea, but wishful thinking is just that -- take action! A Scorpio or Pisces could give you that push off of the diving board, but it’s up to you not to belly flop.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You turn disharmony into something good. The tension makes you move, solve, forgive and love again. You’ll do something excellent with the energy that springs from this situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are quick to laugh today. When someone seems to be working to make you giggle, you might interpret the effort as a sign of deep personal interest. You would be correct. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t need to add anything new to your life now. There is exciting potential in places you didn’t think to look before. You’ll derive great pleasure from exploring something that has been there all along. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What started as a game will now feel much more serious, but don’t worry -- you can still change the rules if you want to. Decide whether to continue as before or try a new arrangement. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.

21). You’ve hidden your talents from those you sensed wouldn’t understand or appreciate what you can do. Now you’ll let people know who you are, what you stand for and how you live. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you’re around a certain someone, you tend to let down your guard. There is something irresistible about your vulnerability, and it draws a certain someone nearer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Unforeseen challenges will show up, and it’s something that can’t be helped. But what can be helped is your level of commitment. Decide to work through whatever comes and do what it takes to realize your dreams. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Does your mind keep following a line of reason that happens to be unreasonable? Ask for help in breaking the mental chain. Talk it through with a friend. You may be able to unravel this mental tangle with minimal effort.

Penske said he’d already gotten several e-mails from Ford executives by the time he got to the media center at New Hampshire for the post-race interviews. “They’re watching it every day,” he said. “Their dealers are watching it, and to me that makes the difference.” Keselowski’s win in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race continued his streak of strong runs in Team Penske’s No. 22 Mustang. He started on the pole for the Sta-Green 200 and led 152 of 200 laps to get his second win in six starts this season. In his other appearances in the car, he’s finished second three times and third once. As he did on Sunday, Kyle Busch, the alltime win leader in the Nationwide Series, finished second on Saturday. “The car was really fast at the beginning, and it seemed we leveled off to Kyle the last run,” Keselowski said. “I thought he might have been a little faster than we were, but it was all about getting through lapped traffic, which was a big dogfight. “That may not have looked it on TV, but it was one of the most challenging races I have ever run.”

Brad Keselowski stands in Victory Lane after winning the Sprint Cup Camping World RV Sales 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. don’t think it’s just that we have three wins. I think that it’s that we’re leading laps. I think we were fast last year at this time, but we weren’t executing. “This year we’re executing, which is really important as well, and we have a lot of momentum and I think we have a lot of potential still left in our team that we’ve got to keep working to get to, because everybody is going to turn it up a notch when the Chase comes, and we know that, and we need to have another gear to grab to be able to run for a championship here in 2014.” Keselowski’s win was the fourth straight for Ford drivers — the first time that’s happened since 2001, when Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler combined to win four in a row. Team owner Roger Penske, who brought his teams back to Ford last year when Dodge left the sport after the 2012 season, said he’s been pleased with the support he’s gotten from the manufacturer. “They want us to win, and they want to give us what we need to win,” he said. “I’d have to say that you couldn’t ask for a better weekend.”

Keselowski dominated from the pole and took the checkered flag in Saturday’s Nationwide Series Sta-Green 200 at New Hampshire.

Some of the most popular support races when the Sprint Cup circuit visits New Hampshire Motor Speedway are put on by the drivers of the Whelen Modified Tour. This year’s race, the inaugural Whelen All-Star Shootout, saw Sprint Cup driver Ryan Newman win in dramatic fashion. Newman, driving a car prepared by Cup crew chief Kevin “Bono” Manion, lost the lead to Justin Bonsignore in Turn One on the last lap, but regained it in Turn Three, Sprint Cup driver Ryan Newman then held on to win for the won the Whelen Modified All-Star third time in Modified racing at Shootout at New Hampshire. New Hampshire. “It’s awesome what Whelen does for this series,” Newman said. “I’ve always been a big fan of the Modifieds, and getting to come up here and race them is still a big honor for me. So to win the All-Star Race is pretty cool.” Bonsignore finished second ahead of Mike Stefanik, Ron Silk and Bobby Santos, who used a last-lap pass to beat Ted Christopher in a 100-lapper at New Hampshire the next day. Newman finished fourth in that race after briefly taking the lead during the first of two attempts at a green-white-checkered-flag run to the finish. Getty Images for NASCAR

Nationwide Series points leader Regan Smith finished 10th in the Sta-Green 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and collected a $100,000 bonus through the Nationwide circuit’s Dash 4 Cash bonus program for series regulars. But to win the bonus, he had to fend off a spirited challenge from Regan Smith collected the Dash 4 Ryan Reed, who finished 11th. Smith, Reed, Ryan Sieg Cash bonus after finishing 10th in the Sta-Green 200 at New Hampshire. and Jeremy Clements were the four drivers eligible for the bonus at New Hampshire. Reed, a 23-year-old rookie who drives the No. 16 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, said he was proud of his team’s effort. “We ran in the top-10 most of the day,” he said. “I hate that the balance went away from us at the end. We took two tires, and it hurt us. We were fighting for track position all day out there. We definitely had a fast Ford Mustang. “I think coming into Daytona last week, we decided that was going to be the reset button, and the first half of the year was about learning, and now we were going to go racing. If we keep doing that, we will be in good shape.” Smith, Chris Buescher, Elliott Sadler and Brian Scott will compete for the Dash 4 Cash bonus this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway.

Joey Logano complained that he was taken out by “the slowest car out there.”

Camping World 301 may be Burton’s final Cup race Sunday’s Camping World 301 may have been the final Sprint Cup race for veteran driver Jeff Burton, who is transitioning into a role as a TV commentator for NBC. The 47-year-old South Boston, Virginia, native has been running in Cup for 22 years, starting 693 races, winning 21 of them, including four at New Hampshire, the track where he has won more races than any other in his career. He also got one of his 27 Nationwide wins at the one-mile oval in Loudon. He drove the No. 66 Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing for the second time this season. He started 30th and finished 20th. “We had a good car, we just never got track position,” he said. “And then Danica (Patrick) got into me there. I think Tony (Stewart) was working the outside, and I think she just thought Tony was on the outside. Got the right side torn up. After that, we never turned.” Burton said before the race that Sunday’s race might be his last in Cup. “I can give you a positive that I don’t know,” he said. “I think it’s a good chance. I’m OK with that. I’m really comfortable with what I’m doing.”

Erik Jones picked up where his boss Kyle Busch left off with the No. 51 Toyota in the Camping World Truck Series. Jones drove the truck on Friday night at Iowa Speedway and beat Ryan Blaney to get his second career win. It was the sixth win in nine races for the No. 51 this season, as Busch has won all five of the races he’s run so far. The other Kyle Busch Motorsports truck, the No. 54 of Darrell Wallace Jr., also has one win. The other two races were won by defending Series champion Matt Crafton, who also drives a Toyota. Blaney, whose No. 29 Ford is owned by Cup driver Brad Keselowski, had a chance to beat the No. 51, but lost the race off pit road on his final pit stop and could not overtake Jones.

Aric Almirola had a busy week following his first career Sprint Cup victory, which came in the rainshortened Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Sunday, July 6. He did the usual race winner’s media appearances on Monday, tested at Richmond International Raceway on Tuesday and Wednesday, did more media on Thursday, then was back behind the wheel of the No. 43 Ford at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Friday. “It has been really busy, but I will take that kind of busy any day,” Almirola said during a session with the media at New Hampshire on Friday. “To come off a win and take all Aric Almirola feels that he and his Sprint Cup team have a good chance to make this that comes along with that is really special. Our race team is really fired year’s Chase. up — not only about the fact that we won, but that there is obviously a really good shot we will be in the Chase now. “We feel good about that, and we are going to work … the next seven or eight weeks to get our cars the best we can and get ready for that Chase.” Almirola did have one surprise waiting when he arrived in the garage at New Hampshire. “Obviously, I didn’t win [at Daytona] under green-flag conditions,” he said. “Usually, if you do, you swing back by and grab the flag from the flagman at the end of the race. “I didn’t get to do that, and so this morning, the flag man, Rodney [Wise], brought down to my team guys the checkered flag. When I got in the race car this morning, the checkered flag was sitting inside my race car. That was really cool.” Almirola blew a tire in practice on Saturday and finished 23rd on Sunday in a backup car.

Morgan Shepherd, 72, extended his record of being the oldest driver to start a Sprint Cup race, but his run at New Hampshire wasn’t the feel-good event it could have been. Shepherd and second-running Joey Logano collided on Lap 211, knocking Logano out of contention. “I got taken out by the slowest car out there,” Logano said. “You would think there would be some courtesy to the leaders. It is just dumb that it happened. I feel like that should be stuff that shouldn’t happen at this level of racing.” Roger Penske, Logano’s car owner, wasn’t critical of Shepherd. “Morgan is a good friend of everybody in the garage area,” Penske said. “He’s a good friend of mine. We’ve tried to support him. Obviously, he was not doing anything out there that he expected to have someone in an accident with him. “That’s the great thing about the sport — that if you want to tee it up here and bring your car and have a team, we let them run, so I don’t feel bad about it, other than the fact that Joey got knocked out.”

NOTEBOOK

Erik Jones picks up where Kyle Busch left off

Brian Lawdermilk/Getty Images for NASCAR

Brad Keselowski and his No. 2 Ford crew at Team Penske have shown in recent weeks that they’re back to running like they did in 2012, when they beat Jimmie Johnson and his No. 48 Chevrolet team to win the Sprint Cup championship. After Sunday’s win in the Camping World RV Sales 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, it’s beginning to look like they’re better than they were two years ago. Just two weeks after dominating the race at Kentucky Speedway, Keselowski and his team left little doubt about their strength and speed, as Keselowski led Sunday’s race seven times for 138 laps en route to his third Cup win of the season. Pole-sitter Kyle Busch finished second over rookie Kyle Larson, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman. Keselowski, who also won Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire and became the first driver ever to sweep those two races at the Loudon, New Hampshire, track, acknowledged the improvements in his team’s performance, but also was more reflective than usual in his post-race interviews. “The team was just really on it,” he said. “It really feels like we hit our stride, and I’m kind of quiet and somber because I want to soak it all in. I don’t want this moment to go away so quick. “Seems like you get in Victory Lane and you’re rushed around left and right you don’t really get a chance to soak it in. This was just such a phenomenal weekend, and these don’t happen that often, and that’s what makes it special. “You try to appreciate them and enjoy them and hope that there’s more, but not count on it, because these are big deals — winning races at the Sprint Cup level, sweeping a weekend — and it’s all possible because of the hard work and effort from everyone at Team Penske.” It’s a welcome change for him from 2013, when as the defending champion he struggled all season, missed the cut for the Chase for the Sprint Cup and didn’t win until October. “It’s gratifying in a lot of ways,” he said. “I

HOOVER, Ala.— Mississippi State has been a reasonably successful program during coach Dan Mullen’s five-year tenure, advancing to four straight bowl games. Now the Bulldogs have a roster that looks as if it can attain even more. Mississippi State returns a veteran defense and one of the league’s few experienced quarterbacks. Dak Prescott threw for 1,940 yards and 10 touchdowns — and also rushed for 13 touchdowns — after becoming the starter early last season. The charismatic junior is now the unquestioned leader of the Bulldogs’ offense.

The defense has nine starters returning, including junior linebacker Benardrick McKinney. Mullen said on Tuesday at SEC Media Days that his team isn’t backing away from expectations and the goal is “to find a way to get to Atlanta” and compete for an SEC championship. “When you embrace that expectation early on as a program, when you embrace that for this year’s team, that’s what they’re working for from Day 1,” Mullen said. “I don’t think they shy away from it.” Prescott’s dual-threat ability is a big reason for the optimism. The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder was often labeled as a running quarter-

back early in his career, but his passing progressed rapidly last season. He’ll have some experienced receivers, including Jameon Lewis, Robert Johnson, Joe Morrow and De’Runnya Wilson, as targets. Lewis led the team with 64 catches for 923 last year and the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Wilson provides the big play threat the Bulldogs’ offense has sometimes lacked. “Dak is a guy that because of his skill set, he can beat you with his arm, with his legs, he can run between the tackles and he can run in the open field,” Mullen said. “He has a lot going for him. But most importantly, he has that will

to win.” Mississippi State’s defense will have at least five seniors starting and several experienced juniors. The unit ranked fifth in the league last year in defense, giving up just 23 points per game. Now the Bulldogs must prove they can break through against elite opponents in the SEC’s brutal Western Division. Mississippi State hasn’t beaten Alabama or LSU during Mullen’s tenure — a trend that almost certainly has to change if the Bulldogs want a real shot at playing in Atlanta. “It’s going to be a big road,” McKinney said. “In the offseason, we train every day for games like that to be able to play four quarters of relentless effort.”

World Championship of Catfishing

Mississippi Record Book

Local anglers finish in Top 5 BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

PICKWICK, Tenn. — A trio of local anglers hooked a top five finish in the World Championship of Catfishing on July 12. David Shipman, Brooke Wilkins and Jay Cartwright combined to catch 39 pounds of catfish for a fourth-place finish. Indiana’s Sam Brooks and John Raines reeled in a sec-

won by just over a pound. Clint Newton held on to win the National Catfish Derby. Newton landed a 52.22-pound blue catfish on June 19. The two-time weekly winner of the six-week contest was crowned winner on the same day Brooks and Raines captured their title. Jamie Long and Kevin Earnest finished third with 48.55 pounds. Gary Baker and Terry Smith rounded out the top five with 30 pounds. Sponsored by the Packaging Corporation of America, the World Championship of Catfishing Tournament draws top competitive

catfish anglers in the country. The event is believed to be the oldest fishing competition in America. Dating back to the 1920s, the catfish derby was started by Catfish Patterson, who owned a boat rental place where the original Botel is located today. Patterson also owned a company in Savannah that made wooden toy guns, but started out making training rifles for World War I soldiers. “This is truly the world catfish championship because of all the big catfish weighed in,” said Freeman.

Star power lacking at SEC Media Days The Associated Press

HOOVER, Ala. — Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel insists there are still plenty of superstars in the Southeastern Conference. The only problem is nobody’s heard of them yet. One year after high-profile players such as Alabama’s A.J. McCarron, South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney and Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel brought a rockstar feel to SEC Media Days, the buzz is largely missing this week at the league’s preseason showcase.

Part of the reason is a lack of experienced quarterbacks. McCarron, Manziel, LSU’s Zach Mettenberger, South Carolina’s Connor Shaw and Georgia’s Aaron Murray are gone after impressive careers. There are still some accomplished players in the league — especially at running back. Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon and Georgia’s Todd Gurley are among the nation’s best. Driskel said it won’t be long before others become nationally known as well. “Some of the guys haven’t

put up the numbers or the championships that guys in the past have,” Driskell said. “But there’s always going to be talent in the SEC. It’s just a matter of who makes the plays this year. You get guys who end up being household names who weren’t at the beginning of the year.” But the shadow of Manziel, McCarron and Co. still looms, even months after they played their last college game. When Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin took the podium on Tuesday afternoon,

two of the first three questions he received were about Johnny Football. After the second one, an amused Sumlin said “Is this the SEC Media Days?” The Aggies are one of several teams moving on without their stars. They had three players selected in the first round of the NFL draft — which left gaping holes at quarterback, offensive tackle and receiver — but Sumlin said that’s just part of the Please see MEDIA | 13A

ond consecutive title with 87.4 pounds. “There was zero current which means no fish,” said Ken Freeman, manager of the World Championship of Catfishing. “These were some of the smaller weights than we have seen in the past. Brooks and Raines, part of Team Power-Pole, hooked the championship with little trouble at Pickwick Landing State Park. They bested the runnerup team of Larry Muse, Dino Meador and Frank Meador by over 35 pounds. Last year, Brooks and Raines

MINNEAPOLIS — Pete Rose may have a role to play in next year’s All-Star game in Cincinnati despite his lifetime ban from baseball. The career hits leader generally is not allowed in any areas of major league ballparks not open to fans. But the former Reds star was allowed to participate in baseball’s All-Century team ceremony at Atlanta’s Turner Field during the 1999 World Series and was permitted to be on the field at Great American Ballpark in 2010 for a ceremony

commemorating the 25th anniversary of his record-setting 4,192nd hit. He also was on the field in Cincinnati last September for the unveiling of a bronze sculpture honoring Hall of Fame teammate Joe Morgan. The Reds host the 2015 All-Star game on July 14, and Commissioner Bud Selig left open the possibility Rose could play a part. “That will be up to the Cincinnati club, and they know what they can do and can’t do,” Selig told the Baseball Writers’ Association of Amer-

ica on Tuesday. “It’s sort of been subjective. But they’ve done some things with Pete, but they’ve been very, very thoughtful and limited. But that’s a subject that I’m sure they’ll discuss in the next year.” Rose, who famously bowled over catcher Ray Fosse to win the 1970 All-Star game at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium, agreed to the lifetime ban in August 1989 following an investigation by Major League Baseball that concluded he bet on the Reds to win while managing the team. He applied for rein-

statement in September 1997 and met with Selig in November 2002. Selig, who plans to retire in January, has never ruled on Rose’s application. “It’s under advisement. My standard line,” Selig said. “I’m the judge and that’s where it will stay. Nothing new in that statement, I understand.” Now 73, Rose admitted in a 2004 autobiography that his previous gambling denials were false. Last month, he managed the Bridgeport Bluefish for one game in the independent Atlantic League.

challenge of the college game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In college football, every two, three years youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have turnover and you have to have a plan for that,â&#x20AC;? Sumlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great defender, whatever it is. To me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting about college football.â&#x20AC;? That might be true eventually, but right now it means there are a lot of unknowns. Arguably the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognizable quarterback â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Marshall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to media days after being cited for possession of a small amount of marijuana. Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bo Wallace is the only returning quarterback in the league who threw for at least 2,000 yards last season. Mississippi Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dak Prescott and Driskel are among the most intriguing breakout candidates at quarterback. Prescott threw for 1,940 yards last season and rushed for 829 more as a sophomore despite missing two games be-

cause of injuries. Driskel had a promising season in 2012 before missing much of last year with a leg injury. Prescott said the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss of so many star players wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt the quality of the league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys were unknown at some point, too, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just part of the game,â&#x20AC;? Prescott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It leaves the door open for guys to step up and get their name out there.â&#x20AC;? The strength of the league might be at running back, where veterans like Yeldon, Gurley and South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Davis return for another season. All three averaged around 100 yards per game during their sophomore seasons and scored at least 10 touchdowns. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance some of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are relative unknowns right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody picked Missouri and Auburn to win the divisions last year,â&#x20AC;? South Carolina Steve Spurrier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we play the game. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to win â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em.â&#x20AC;?

Hardy guilty on 2 counts of domestic violence The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy was found guilty Tuesday night of assaulting a female and communicating threats. Mecklenburg County Judge Rebecca ThornTin sentenced Hardy to 18 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probation. A 60-day jail sentence was suspended. Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney Chris Fialko said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll appeal and Hardy has asked for a jury trial in superior court. In North Carolina that means the terms of Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probation are on hold until the trial â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free to travel with the team to training camp and compete in games. A date for the jury trial hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been set. The Panthers released a statement Tuesday night saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have just learned of the verdict and are respectful of the process. We do not have a comment at this time.â&#x20AC;? The judge didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testimony that he was the one abused by the accuser and that he had asked her to leave his apartment during a domestic dispute on May 13 at his downtown Charlotte condominium. After nearly 11 hours of hearing testimony, Thorn-Tin told a somber Hardy on Tuesday night that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the court is entirely convinced Hardy is guilty of assault on a female and communicating threats.â&#x20AC;? Earlier in the morning the accuser testified that she was assaulted by Hardy at his apartment after a night of drinking. She also said Hardy threatened to kill her and put his hands around her neck.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looked me in my eyes and he told me he was going to kill me,â&#x20AC;? said the accuser, a 24-yearold cocktail waitress in downtown Charlotte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so scared I wanted to die. When he loosened his grip slightly, I said just, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do it. Kill me.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The accuser admitted she had used cocaine on the night of the incident and had been drinking. Hardy and his business manager Sammy Curtis both testified that Hardy never hit nor threw the accuser, and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t communicate threats. Hardy said the accuser became angry when he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have sex with her and left the room to sleep in the living room. He said the accuser then became angry and began slamming doors. Hardy said the accuser then asked him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want to see crazy? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you crazy.â&#x20AC;? Hardy said she threw herself into the bathtub, causing the bruises she had on her body. Hardy said she also threatened to kill herself if she left his building. However, Thorn-Tin seemed more inclined to believe the testimony of the accuser and the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top witness, Christina Lawrence, another woman who was in Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment at the time of the incident. Lawrence said she was sleeping in the other room with a friend of Hardyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when she heard scuffling and fighting and what sounded like a woman being slammed into the wall and dragged across the floor. She said she also heard the accuser say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you going to do, break my arm?â&#x20AC;?

Jeter, Trout lead AL over NL 5-3 in All-Star game Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Helping send Derek Jeter out a winner in his last All-Star game appearance, Mike Trout drove in two runs with a triple and a double to lead the American League past the National League 5-3 on Tuesday night. Jeter started his 14th and final midsummer gathering of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best with a vintage opposite-field double, following an ovation from the Target Field crowd of

more than one minute. The Yankees captain went 2 for 2 and was removed to another roar from the fans in the top of the fourth inning. Max Scherzer picked up the victory with a scoreless inning, and Twins closer Glen Perkins pitched a perfect ninth for the save in front of his home crowd to again give the AL home-field advantage for the World Series. Another hometown favorite, Pat Neshek, took the loss for the NL.

Regular, dwarf cannas shine in Southern gardens Canna lilies are valued for their large, tropical foliage and showy, brilliantly colored flowers. They are an easy landscape plant that everyone should have in their gardens. M a n y gardeners Gary are familiar Bachman with the big Southern cannas that Gardening have to be grown in the back of the planting bed. With their upright growth habit, cannas have an almost statuesque presence in the landscape. But the plant breeders have been at it again, developing selections that have dwarf characteristics. These dwarf cannas are initially grown from seed, not produced from cuttings of spreading underground stems. This trait translates to better branching and more flowers for your landscape.

Tropical canna lilies are dwarf varieties that come in several colors, including this yellow selection. All summer long, as one flower matures, another spike begins to grow and soon opens. Since they reach just 16 to 24 inches tall, these cannas demand to be planted right up front. In fact,

dwarf cannas were first selected for use in containers. That may make them the perfect thriller plant in

a combination container. A great example of dwarf varieties is the Tropical canna series, which typi-

cally has flowers that are about 3 to 4 inches across. The beautiful flowers are soft and form on a spike held high above the wide, lush foliage. Tropical Rose is an AllAmerica Selections winner with soft, rose-colored blooms. As the first flowers mature, another spike begins to grow and soon opens. Tropical Rose produces flower spikes all summer, offering reliable color in your garden. Other colors include red and yellow. A selection called Bronze Scarlet has bold spikes of brilliant scarlet blooms speckled with gold flecks. It displays stunning, deep burgundy leaves with hints of coppery bronze all summer. South Pacific Scarlet is a 2013 All-America Selections winner. It has 4-inch flowers that bloom all summer long in a delicious blend of scarlet shades. This plant thrives in hot and humid conditions, making it the perfect choice for Mississippi

gardens and landscapes. South Pacific Scarlet is a little bigger than the Tropical cannas, having the potential to reach 4 feet tall. You can prolong the bloom period of dwarf cannas through the summer by deadheading. Remove the withering flower stem to allow the shoot below to develop and flower. For the best growth and flowering, plant these dwarf cannas in areas that get full sun at least six hours each day. Keep the soil moisture consistent; the plants will tolerate drier conditions, but flowering will suffer. To support the summer-long flowering, be sure to feed weekly with water-soluble 20-20-20 fertilizer.

Kitchens in traditional and vintage homes often are dressed in conservative garb: neutral hues, stainless steel, white-on-white or beige-on-beige. Historically, however, kitchens were actually pretty peppy, according to Deborah Baldwin, editor of This Old House magazine. “Pastel greens, blues, creams and peaches reigned until the early 1930s, when casual, built-in eating areas were painted Kelly green, red and even black,” she says. “We have readers who are introducing brightly colored cabinets and appliances in tomato, pumpkin and daisy,” she adds. At this spring’s Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York, manufacturers were showing lots of vibrantly hued kitchen equipment. Bertazzoni’s Arancio range came in orange, burgundy and yellow. Big Chill displayed a wall full of paint-box hues including jadite (a milky green), cherry and pink. AGA’s Signature line of beefy, professional-grade ranges comes in intriguing colors like aubergine, duck-egg blue, heather, pistachio, claret and British racing green. (www.bertazzoni.com; www.bigchill.com; www.aga-ranges.com ) Fans of metallics might go for Blue Star’s dramatic collection of ranges, wall ovens and hoods in copper, gold and a chocolate-y ginger, as well as several hundred other colors and finishes. (www.

bluestarcooking.com ) Kitchens of any vintage can look great with colorful walls. Pumpkin, cobalt and deep Prussian blue enhance all kinds of woods, whether you’re working with 19th century pine, Craftsman-era oak or midcentury walnut. Or consider the ceiling. In a small galley kitchen, bold color on the ceiling creates a “jewel box” effect. Deep hues like eggplant, navy, magenta or carmine compliment white cabinetry in a large kitchen, and look great in both natural and artificial light. New York designer Gideon Mendelson applied a pea-green gingham canvas cloth to the ceiling of a country house kitchen, and painted the island in a similar shade. With a collection of vintage baskets displayed along the tops of snowy wood cabinetry, the vibe is relaxed, fresh and contemporary. Meg Caswell, a designer and host on HGTV’s “Great Rooms,” loves to add color to kitchens. She used a backsplash of crisp, blue and green fusedglass tiles as a counterpoint to a rustic, Old World-style metal and wood kitchen island, glossy black cabinetry and citrine wallpaper in an Art Deco-era home. In another home, she mixed sleek teal-andwhite glass with farmhouse blue cabinets. Baldwin, of This Old House, advises painting upper and base cabinets different colors, or painting an island or hutch in a contrasting shade.

Ripping out the front lawn and its bordering rhododendrons and replacing them with a landscape of native grasses, groundcovers, succulents and rocks once seemed an unfathomable act of defiance. No longer. As many parts of the United States grapple with drought and rising water bills, “The thought of an English garden in the Central Valley of California is sheer madness. It wasn’t meant to be, and it’s sucking up precious groundwater we need for agriculture,” said Ann Savageau, a design professor at the University of California at Davis, who recently traded in her lush green lawns for a desert look. Instead of scoffing, neighbors stopped to ask her landscaper for his business card. Other California towns, including Sacramento and Menlo Park, have begun offering rebates to homeowners who remove their lawns. Gardeners nationwide are feeling the effects of climate change. In the East, and other areas where heavy downpours have become more intense, a sustainable gar-

of this trend, which I think is very positive, is substantial.” Brian Sullivan Vice president for landscapes The New York Botanical Garden den might include native grasses and other plants that do well in heavy rain and the dry weather that can follow. “Awareness is changing in a way that is here to stay,” said Brian Sullivan, a vice president for landscapes at The New York Botanical Garden. “Yard by yard, region by region, the overall environmental impact of this trend, which I think is very positive, is substantial.” Mowing and watering a traditional lawn requires a lot of time, money, water and fertilizers. Increasingly, many home gardeners want to focus instead on edible gardens, and rethink the rest of their landscaping in a more environmentally sustainable and lowmaintenance way. It’s sometimes hard to know where to begin, however, and few people

have the funds or time to tackle a total garden makeover all at once. Some strategies:

Take it in steps “Transitions should be made at your own pace and you do these things in small steps,” Sullivan said. “Lawn has utility. We play on it, sing on it and look at it. You can still enjoy your lawn, but cut it down by a third or half, or go with groundcovers you can walk on. They’re not the same, but it’s about shifting expectations.” Susan Middlefield, horticulture editor for the Vermont-based National Gardening Association, said “less lawn means you’re putting less carbon into the atmosphere. Lawns are fertilizer hogs, and a lot of fertilizer also contributes to oxygen depletion in local water-

ways.” Savageau retained a small circle of lush lawn about 12 feet across for her grandson to play on. It’s surrounded by agave and desert grasses.

Consider your site When taking your yard in a new direction, experts say, the first step is to know your site. Do you have a slope? Is it shady or sunny? Plants on the top of an incline will be drier and plants at the bottom will be wetter. But when the water dries up, the plants at the bottom need to be fine when it’s dry, too.

Talk with local experts Many arboretums, botanical gardens, native plant societies and local extension services offer brochures, online help, and classes on suitable plants and landscapes for various climates and regions. Many also maintain native plant gardens to inspire home gardeners, and some communities offer incentives to homeowners making the shift toward more sustainable yards.

In search of natural hues? A garden ‘to dye for’ Associated Press

Homegrown botanical dyes are in, part of today’s shift toward more natural and organic living. And you don’t need a degree in chemistry to create your own hues for scarves, sweaters or even Easter eggs. All it takes is a garden plot or a few pots and a kitchen. “If you’re already gardening or already even have a landscape, you can look out your window and you can use the things that are there, that you’re already growing, for a dyer’s garden,” says Chris McLaughlin, a gardener in Placerville, California, and author of the new book “A Garden to Dye For: How to Use Plants from the Garden to Create Natural Colors for Fabrics and Fibers” (St. Lynn’s Press).

Where to start? If you’re planting a new dye garden, McLaughlin’s book contains several different garden plans. An edible dye garden, for example, might be best

if you have limited space and can’t justify giving up square footage for anything other than fruits and veggies. Suggested plants include carrots, bee balm, rosemary, purple basil, red onions, chamomile, beets, blueberries, red cabbage and marjoram. A cutting dye garden features flowers that can be cut for indoor display or tossed in the dye pot. McLaughlin recommends roses, hollyhocks, dahlias, rudbeckia, purple coneflowers, zinnias and cosmos. Of course, you can always mix veggies and flowers, or plant a few items in containers. And if you’re already gardening, chances are you have some of these plants and flowers in your backyard. “Even a typical suburban landscape that was planted by the housing developer might have birch, juniper, roses, Japanese maple or eucalyptus,” McLaughlin says. For beginners, French marigolds and onions

(red or yellow) are easy to grow and produce vivid colors for dyes, according to Julie Jensen, farmer and founder of Echoview Farm and Fiber Mill near Asheville, N.C.

Which plants for which colors? Appearance isn’t everything. The vibrant pink flowers of the peony, for example, result in a pale lime green when used for dye, according to Howard Freilich, founder of the New York-based landscaping service Blondie’s Treehouse. Here’s a list of his favorite sources for various hues: Beets (roots) — deep red Rose (hips) — red Lilac (twigs) — yellow/ orange Golden Rod (flowers) — yellow Coneflower (flowers) — brownish green; (leaves and stems) — gold Ivy (twigs) — yellow/ brown Onion (skin) — orange Carrot (roots) — orange Foxglove (flowers) —

apple green Peppermint (leaves) — dark khaki green Peony (flowers) — pale lime green Hyacinth (flowers) — blue Purple Iris (flowers) — blue Hibiscus (flowers, dark red or purple) — red-purple Oregano (dried stalk) — deep brown/black Iris (roots) — black

Growing tips A dye garden doesn’t require any more work than a typical garden. But Freilich notes that dye content in plants is significantly influenced by temperature, humidity and sun exposure. “So you want to make sure that the plant is growing in its ideal condition,” he says. McLaughlin recommends leaving at least 4 feet of space around the beds to make it easier to harvest and tend to the plants and flowers. That leaves room for wheelbarrows and other equipment.

Back ribs usually are sold in either full slabs (13 ribs) or half slabs (7 ribs), and are the most expensive cut of rib. When they come from a pig that was less than a year old, they are referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;babyâ&#x20AC;? back ribs.

30-year-old daughter may have OCD WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: My wife and I are a little concerned about our 30-year-old daughter, “Amber.” Every day, she spends an hour brushing her teeth and five full minutes washing her hands and then rechecks the same things about five times. Amber says she can’t control it and it’s hard to stop. This has been going on for a little over a year. Is this anything to be concerned about? Is this just the way she is? Any advice would be great. — Concerned Parents Dear Parents: Repetitive behaviors like this are obsessive-compulsive disorders. They are not uncommon. However, OCD behaviors can become worse over time, and it helps to get treatment as soon as possible. You or Amber can contact the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation. org) for more information and referrals to therapists who specialize in dealing with this problem. We’ll be thinking of you. Dear Annie: My dear mother-in-law has suffered with dementia for 10 years. This wonderful, loving woman did not receive the care she could have, and as a re-

Annie’s Mailbox sult, her quality of life is worse than it needed to be. I have some advice for family members when a loved one receives the dreaded diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s: You need to learn about the illness, and you need to make a plan. Pretending the person is not sick doesn’t help. It makes life harder for them. I never realized how powerful a force denial could be until I witnessed my father-inlaw’s absolute refusal to change anything about their life. Expecting her to keep cooking, leaving her alone, etc., were truly acts of cruelty. Realize that your loved one is not going to get better. He or she may stay the same for a long time, or may steadily get worse, but they are not going to improve. You need to keep them safe and anticipate that they may do things they have never done before -- like wander, take the wrong medicine or let a stranger into the house. If you live out of town, consider the possibility that those who live near your loved one may know

more about the day-today situation than you do. When you visit and keep Mom company all day and do fun activities with her, yes, she’s going to seem better, but it doesn’t reflect the reality of her normal day when she’s alone for hours at a time. If the locals say Mom needs more care, they may be right. Someday I hope there is a cure for this horrible illness, but until then we have to do the best we can to manage life for those who are dependent on us. — The In-Law Dear In-Law: Thank you for taking the time to write and guide others who are in a similar situation. We hope anyone affected by this dreadful disease will contact the Alzheimer’s Association at alz. org. Their website has a wealth of information for dementia and Alzheimer’s. There is also a 24/7 Helpline at 1-800-272-3900. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to: Annie’s Mailbox, c/o Creators Syndicate, 737 3rd Street, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254.
