Remembering Katrina No tax increase planned for city

Storm survivors find new lives in the Crossroads

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

BY ZACK STEEN AND KIMBERLEY SHELTON zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

Ten years ago this weekend one of the worst natural disasters in American history hit the Mississippi coast line.

Hurricane Katrina was a massive Category 3 storm when it made landfall on August 29, 2005. The storm caused severe destruction along the Gulf Coast resulting in thousands of deaths and more than a $100 billion in property damage.

Even though Katrina’s storm surge flattened towns along the Mississippi coast, it was New Orleans that took a significant blow when heavy rainfall flooded the city’s levee system. More than 80 percent of the historic city soon found itself under water.

Alex Al-Qawwas counts his blessings 10 years after hurricane Katrina.

Working with a plan for no change to city taxes, the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen began to dig into the next fiscal year’s budget in a Friday meeting.

The city’s public hearing on the fiscal 2016 budget and tax levy is set for 5 p.m. on Tuesday during a regular meeting of the board, and the board will adopt the budget during its regular meeting on Sept.

15.

Including school taxes, the total millage rate in the city is currently 95.

In a later meeting, the board plans to discuss the direction pay for city workers will take this year. Several possible numbers were mentioned for across-the-board pay raises, but there was also discussion of giving a larger bump to the lower end of the pay scale.

The board penciled in proposed allocations for the various agencies that have sub-

mitted funding requests, with level funding prevailing for most of them.

The preliminary allocations have the Siege and Battle of Corinth Commission repeating for another year at its increased allocation of $35,000 for management of the Verandah-Curlee House. Last year’s increase was to help reestablish public visitation.

After an increase to $20,000 last year to help with the Wick Street pocket park, Main Street Corinth is on the list for $17,500.

The board has a couple of first-time requests on the table. The Boys & Girls Club submitted a request that Alderman J.C. Hill said is a onetime plea to help get a new outreach program started.

City Attorney Wendell Trapp said there is statutory authority for the city to allocate funds to the organization.

Jobless rate declines

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Alcorn County unemployment hit 5.8 percent in July, faring better than the prior month and a year earlier.

The July rate placed the county eighth among the state’s 82 counties as it dropped from 6 percent in June and 7.1 percent in July 2014, according to labor data released this week by the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Mississippi unemployment was 6.9 percent, down from 7 percent in June and 8.7 percent a year ago.

The county had 900 categorized as unemployed, compared to 1,080 a year ago, and 14,730 employed, compared to 14,140 a year earlier.

Neighboring county rates are Tishomingo, 6.8 percent; Tippah, 7.1 percent; and Prentiss, 6.4 percent.

Alcorn County had 73 new applicants for unemployment insurance, nearly unchanged from the prior year, and 512 continued claims, compared to 699 a year ago.

Benefits paid in the county totaled $73,115, compared to Please see JOBLESS | 7A

Mentors make connections

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — Close to 40 Kossuth High School junior and seniors are onboard with making a difference for the younger generation.

One student at a time.

The KHS students met with Alcorn School District Director of Mentoring Tammie Ray on Thursday to iron out details before beginning their

hour a week mentoring to middle and elementary school children.

“Encourage them to be their best,” said Ray as she met with juniors and seniors in the KHS cafeteria. “Sometimes these kids need you to tell them to keep going.”

Elizabeth Wamsley took over the position of principal at Glendale Elementary School earlier this month.

Wamsley finds calling as principal

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

GLEN — Born from education royalty, Elizabeth Wamsley never wanted to be a teacher.

She grew up in a house education built. Her father, Mike, was a mainstay in the Alcorn School

District working as a student janitor, teacher, principal, curriculum director and later serving four terms as superintendent of education. Her mother, Janice, was also a teacher and even drove a school bus.

“I never, ever wanted to be

a teacher, mostly because I felt I had already lived that life through my parents’ jobs,” said Wamsley. “My mom and dad loved what they did, but I knew I wanted to do something difPlease see WAMSLEY | 2A

gram specifically developed for 1st-8th grade students.

“Community Connections better prepares children to make positive life changes,” said Ray. “It also enables them to maximize their potential whether it’s socially, emotionally, academically or behaviorally.”

The student mentoring program matches a positive role model with a student one hour a week.

Mentoring in the program is done on campus and during school hours.

“You might be their only encouragement and smile they see all day,” Ray shared with Kossuth upperclassmen.

“Give them your best … help them discover their Godgiven abilities.”

Kossuth senior Darbie Coleman is taking part in the mentoring program for a second year. She was recommended by a teacher and had to undergo an interview process to be selected.

“We want to help them have a positive outlook on things,” said Coleman, who worked with a sixth grader last year in math. “There are still good things out there for them.”

Mentors often help students with academic issues. Mentees are also part of the program because of a difficult home environment, destructive behavior, anti-social behaviors, depression and identified as being atrisk for dropping out of school.

Coleman helped her student raise a failing

grade in math to a C. “These kids look forward to being around you,” said the Kossuth senior. “They also help you to see your bad day isn’t as bad as you think.”

Kossuth Principal Travis Smith praised mentors for getting involved.

“What you are doing shows you care,” said Smith. “These kids need you and you will have an impact on them.”

Having a positive role model helps students stay in school, achieve their goals and avoid unsafe activities.

“We want to do what it takes to help them succeed,” said Ray. Student volunteer mentors also have qualifications to abide by such as: ■ Be at least 16 years old ■ Attend one of the ASD high schools or Christian/

home-schooled ■ Be recommended by an ASD teacher/coach or other certified staff member ■ Agree to a one-year commitment to the program ■ Commit to spending a minimum of 1-2 hours a week with the mentee Those who have a desire to be an adult mentor should: ■ Be at least 21 years old ■ Reside in Alcorn County or immediate surrounding area ■ Agree to one-year commitment to program ■ Commit to spending a minimum of 3-8 hours a month with the mentee ■ Submit weekly meeting and activity information ■ Have a current driver’s license ■ Have clean criminal

The objective is to show mentees someone does cares.

“Regardless of what they have said or done, we care about them as a person and want them to succeed,” said Ray. “Every child should have the opportunity to succeed.”

wanted to somehow make a bigger impact on young people’s education. She returned to college and studied educational administration.

Three years later Wamsley went to work as the assistant principal at Alcorn Central Elementary School.

“I absolutely love having an educational influence on kids. I feel like if kids come out of elementary school hating going to school, then they are going to hate it for their entire life,” Wamsley said.

After just one year at Alcorn Central, she was promoted.

Once again, God knew better.

“I never in a million years thought that I would end up back home,” she said. “I was so overwhelmed and overjoyed.”

Earlier this month, Wamsley began her new journey as a principal where it all began -- Glendale Elementary.

“I grew up less than five miles from this school,” she said. “There were only three places that were important to me when I was little -- my home, my church and my school.

It’s where my whole family came to school, and my mother ...”

Several glass cases outside the principal’s office is home to more than 50 framed back and white pictures of Glendale classes from days gone by.

Wamsley’s mother, Janice, is pictured in one that the new principal can see right out her window.

“I love it here ... I love being back in this community,” Wamsley added.

“I love the way the teachers in this school love these kids. I love that the teachers here are as happy and excited to teach these kids as I am.”

Now 37-years-old and a single mom to Glendale fourth grader Jackson, Wamsley oversees the close-knit school.

“I do believe being here is a little gift from God,” she said. “I have my son here with me, and he loves it. From day one he has felt safe and secure.

It’s tough on a kid moving schools, especially when your mom is the principal.”

Less than four weeks into the school year, she has proudly sought to learn every student’s name.

She believes strongly in smiles and hugs and enforces both on a daily basis around campus.

With a little over 170 pre-K and K-6 grade students and less than 20 faculty members, she believes her school is going places.

“Our enrollment is up and our test scores are good,” the principal said.

“I believe we can continue to be one of the best schools in the county, but I still have a lot to learn.”

Wamsley said she has been honest with her staff.

“It’s a learning curve for me, but I’m in a great place to do it, because there’s no place like home,” she added. “I am blessed way more than I deserve.”

ferent.”

In college, she studied international business and dreamed of one day living in an exotic foreign land, but just after graduation she found herself teaching seventh graders in a Career Discovery classroom at Alcorn Central Middle School.

“A teacher had taken a leave of absence just days before school started back and I was asked if I would fill the spot,” Wamsley said. “I ended up staying for the entire year.

I taught every seventhgrader that year and ... I actually really enjoyed it.”

The girl who never wanted to teach had found her true passion -teaching.

“I absolutely love having an educational influence on kids.”

Elizabeth Wamsley Principal, Glendale Elementary School “I started to love working with children,” Wamsley said. “It wasn’t want I thought I was supposed to do, but God knew better.”

After a few years at Alcorn Central, she traveled to Louisiana to coach basketball ... another dream of hers that actually came true.

Today in History Today is Sunday, August 30, the 242nd day of 2015. There are 123 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 30, 1945, U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur arrived in Japan to set up Allied occupation headquarters.

On this date: In 1861, Union Gen. John C. Fremont instituted martial law in Missouri and declared slaves there to be free.

(However, Fremont’s emancipation order was countermanded by President Abraham Lincoln).

In 1862, Confederate forces won victories against the Union at the Second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia, and the Battle of Richmond in Kentucky.

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which was intended to promote private development of nuclear energy.

In 1963, the “Hot Line” communications link between Washington and Moscow went into operation.

In 1967, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1983, Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first black American astronaut to travel in space as he blasted off aboard the Challenger.

In 1984, the space shuttle Discovery was launched on its inaugural flight.

In 1986, Soviet authorities arrested Nicholas Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, as a spy a week after American officials arrested Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, on espionage charges in New York. (Both were later released.)

In 1989, a federal jury in New York found “hotel queen” Leona Helmsley guilty of income tax evasion, but acquitted her of extortion. (She served 18 months behind bars, a month at a halfway house and two months under house arrest.)

In 1991, Azerbaijan declared its independence, joining the stampede of republics seeking to secede from the Soviet Union.

Ten years ago: A day after Hurricane Katrina hit, floods were covering 80 percent of New Orleans, looting continued to spread and rescuers in helicopters and boats picked up hundreds of stranded people.

Woman killed in head-on collision outside Iuka TISHOMINGO COUNTY — A woman died on the scene of a two-vehicle wreck on Friday afternoon.

Katie Diane Zakrison, 24, was killed around 5:30 p.m. when her Buick struck an oncoming Dodge Ram pickup on Highway 25 on the Tenn-Tom Bridge about 8 miles from the Iuka city limits.

A 6-year-old in the vehicle with Zakrison suffered multiple injures and was airlifted to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis.

There was no word on the condition of the people in the truck.

Selmer aldermen seek grant for sidewalks SELMER, Tenn. — A desire to replace all street lights in Selmer with energy-efficient lighting along with an idea of making city sidewalks compliant with the American Disabilities Act and repave some city streets were the main topics on the agenda of the Selmer City Board during their August meeting.

Selmer will attempt to earn a grant from Tennessee’s De-

partment of Transportation that could assist in paying for a majority of the sidewalks in downtown to be made compliant with the ADA. The aldermen approved a resolution the sale of $3.65 million dollars in bonds should the city decide to proceed with the three projects. The projects will again be on the agenda for the September meeting of the city board.

If the plans of Selmer Mayor John Smith are given approval, the grant would help pave 34 of the 39 miles of city streets in Selmer.

Shiloh park to hold firing demonstrations SHILOH, Tenn. — On Saturday, Sept. 5, and Sunday, Sept.

Driver faces drug charge after striking sign A driver who caused major damage to a sign at Thrasher School is facing a felony drug charge.

Brett Allen Christian, 34, of Thrasher was arrested by deputies responding to a single-vehicle crash in front of the school on Prentiss County Road 1040 around 1 p.m.

Christian has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance along with several misdemeanor traffic violations.

Brett Allen Christian, 34, was discovered allegedly to possess crystal methamphetamine after crashing into a sign at Thrasher School Thursday.

Gulf Coast marks Katrina’s fury, celebrates rebirth Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — As the church bells rang marking the decade since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, the 80-year-old woman wept softly into a tissue as she leaned against her rusting Oldsmobile near a Catholic church in Mississippi.

“I feel guilty,” said Eloise Allen, whose house in Bay St. Louis was damaged but inhabitable after the storm. “I didn’t go through what all the other people did.”

Saturday was a day to remember what “all the other people” went through. Those who were lifted from rooftops by helicopters, those who came home to find only concrete steps as evidence of where their house used

to be, those whose bodies were never claimed after the storm.

But the mourning Saturday was balanced by a celebration of how far the region has come since Hurricane Katrina.

The storm killed more than 1,800 people and caused $151 billion in damage, in one of the country’s deadliest and most costly natural disasters. The dead were not far from anyone’s thoughts Saturday, from Mississippi where church bells rang out to mark when the storm made landfall to a commemoration at the New Orleans memorial containing bodies of people never claimed or never identified.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu spoke of the dark days after the monstrous storm and how the city’s residents leaned on each other

for support.

In Biloxi, Mississippi, clergy and community leaders gathered at a newly built Minor League Baseball park for a memorial to Katrina’s victims and later that evening the park was hosting a concert celebrating the recovery.

During a prayer service at a seaside park in Gulfport, former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour praised volunteers who worked on the Katrina recovery. He said more than 954,000 volunteers came from around the country to Mississippi in the first five years after the storm, and many were motivated by faith.

“They thought it was God’s command to try to help people in need,” Barbour said.

Katrina’s force caused a mas-

Corinth, Miss.

Our View

Black History Museum deserves our attention We know both our local Alcorn County and City of Corinth governmental bodies are getting their ears full this time of year for budget requests.

There never seems to be enough money to go around. The county appears to be headed toward a millage rate increase for the first time in five years, certainly a testament for there not being enough money to go around.

There was a budget request to go before our Corinth city leaders we really wish would be given some extra attention.

We speak of one of Corinth’s best kept secrets - the Black History Museum.

The Black History Museum of Corinth wants the city’s support for some facility upgrades and a possible expansion.

Robert Smith recently presented several requests on behalf of the museum to the Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

“For the longest time, the Black History Museum has sat in the shadow of this community,” he told the city board. “But as you move forward on this mission to revitalize the city and our community, we would like the opportunity to represent our past, the present and to impact the future.”

We believe the Black History Museum deserves our attention.

After a dozen years in the house at 1109 Meigg Street, the museum is feeling the need for more space to better tell the stories represented by its collection.

Smith submitted a proposed floor plan for expansion and said more space is needed as the former residence is more of an archives than a museum.

The museum wants to pursue grant funds along with donations to fund the project.

Before expansion, Smith said the house needs some work on issues like water leaks, handicap accessibility, poor lighting, narrow doorways and yardwork.

As in Smith’s words, the Black History Museum needs some “curb appeal.”

The board took no formal action on the requests and Smith was asked to prepare a detailed list of needs with cost estimates.

The museum is located in the former residence of William Dakota and Adrienne Combs Webb. The house was donated to the city in 1990, and the museum opened there in 2003.

We realize the city can’t do everything at once, but a yearly commitment to do the needed repairs and curb appeal first and plan for an expansion in the future would help get the Black History Museum headed in the right direction.

Letter to the editor

Grandson’s name left out of grandfather’s obituary To the editor: I would like to take this time to apologize to Tanner Trimm.

He is the grandson of the late Kenneth E. Dildy. Regrettably his name was not mentioned in his grandfather’s obituary after his passing on May 15 this year. I am very sorry for letting someone else’s decision cloud my judgment on that difficult day.

I only hope you can find a way to forgive me and please accept my apology. There are several more people I wish I could have mentioned. I know in my heart you all know who you are.

Again, I am very sorry, Tanner, and please know Kenny loved you very much. I hope he can forgive me as well.

A verse to share “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” — Matthew 23:12

Two impossible things that could happen “One can’t believe impossible things,” Alice objected.

“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” the Red Queen replied. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

You may be reading this sometime after breakfast, and six is a pretty large number of impossible things. But looking at developments in the 2016 campaign, I can see two impossible things – impossible in the sense that almost every pundit (including me) ruled them out – that might happen in the weeks and months ahead.

The first impossible thing is that Hillary Clinton might stop being the undisputed frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.

There have been two good reasons for believing this to be impossible. One is that even in the swirl of the email controversy, a very large majority of self-identified Democrats continue to have positive feelings about Clinton. That includes the 25 percent or so nationally and the 40 or so percent in New Hampshire who say they’d vote for Bernie Sanders right now.

That shows that one Democratic constituency – the Birkenstock Belt – is willing to consider an alternative. What would happen if another – black Democrats – should prove willing to do so as well?

The answer: disaster for

the Clinton campaign.

As fivethirtyeight.com analysts have pointed out, even if ClinMichael ton loses and Barone Iowa New HampColumnist shire, the next big set of contests come in Southern states, where blacks make up nearly half or more of Democratic primary voters. And black voters tend to coalesce, in primaries as well in November, for one candidate.

That’s a rational response for people who are self-conscious members of a persecuted and discriminatedagainst minority.

In the past, black Democrats have been nearly unanimous for one candidate even over another who has strong claims on their support — e.g., Robert Kennedy over Hubert Humphrey in 1968 and Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton 40 years later.

Right now, Clinton has the kind of black support Humphrey would have had if Kennedy had not run. But what if Joe Biden entered the race with the explicit or strongly implied support of President Obama?

Maybe that could happen.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he “wouldn’t rule out the possibility of an endorsement” in the primary and added that “no one in American politics today”

knows more about running for president than Biden and that Obama considered his Biden VP pick as “the smartest decision that he has ever made in politics.”

Hmm. The second impossible thing that could happen is a vast expansion of the Republican primary electorate – and general election turnout. Sparked, at least initially, but not necessarily permanently, by Donald Trump.

The New York Times reported last week that other Republican candidates’ strategists discount Trump’s current poll leads on the grounds that the polls “rely on feedback from many Republicans who are unlikely to vote” because they aren’t registered Republicans or haven’t voted in past primaries.

It’s true that past Republican turnout has been low.

In 2008, 37 million Americans voted in Democratic primaries and caucuses and only 21 million voted in Republican contests. Hillary Clinton, while losing the nomination, got almost as many votes as the three leading Republicans put together.

Similarly, many analysts blame Mitt Romney’s 2012 loss on conservatives staying home. Barack Obama got 3.5 million fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008. Usually incumbents who drop that far lose. But Romney got only 1 million more votes than John McCain in 2008.

Even in a period of close partisan divisions, when one party’s turnout increases it can win decisively. Democratic total votes increased 10.5 million when Obama won in 2008.

Republican total votes increased 11.5 million when George W. Bush was reelected in 2004.

One metric we have so far suggests a huge increase in Republican votes: 24 million people watched the Republican debate in Cleveland August 6. That’s almost triple the previous Republican high and double the Democrats’ record – which came in 2008, when the party’s primary and general electorate expanded.

Donald Trump accounts for much of Republicans’ big audience, but perhaps not all: some 6 million watched the second-tier candidates’ pre-prime-time debate. The big question now is whether another candidate can entice Trump’s predominantly older, non-college-graduate enthusiasts. Hmm. Will these two impossible things happen? After all, the Red Queen only said that you could believe impossible things. But they did happen to Alice.

If Obama endorses Biden ...

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN Columnists

If Joe Biden runs and President Obama endorses him — and both now appear likely — then all bets are off.

Hillary Clinton will soon be dethroned as the frontrunner.

While Clinton holds a comfortable lead over Biden and Sanders in most current national polls (although Sanders leads in New Hampshire), once the vice president is officially in the race and once Obama joins as his corner man, he will surge in the polls.

African-Americans will start to leave Clinton in a rush with Latinos following. With white radicals and labor types already largely backing Sanders. Clinton’s base will dwindle.

strongly hinted that the president might endorse Joe Biden if he ran.

While taking care not to take sides in the looming Clinton/Biden/Sanders primary, he said that he “wouldn’t rule out the possibility of an endorsement in the Democratic primary.”

He then went on to shower praise on Biden, while offering only the most boilerplate and perfunctory words about Clinton.

He said of Biden: ■ That Obama has said that naming him as VP was “the smartest decision he’d ever made in politics.”

■ That “you could probably make the case that there is no one in American politics today who has a better understanding of exactly what is required to mount a successful national presidential campaign.”

Of Clinton, Earnest only

noted Obama’s “appreciation, respect and admiration for the job” Clinton did as secretary of state.

Faint praise indeed.

Earnest’s statement is a clear and public hint from Obama to Biden that says: Get in the race, build up your standing, and then I will back you.

Obama cannot simply endorse Biden. He has to point out how his VP would be better than his former secretary of state. He will have to note her greater fidelity to his programs and policies and warn of her tendency to follow the polls to the center as her husband did in the ‘90s. Or he will have to call attention to her electability problems in the wake of her email scandal.

Either approach would be deadly for Clinton. While a recent Suffolk University poll, taken on Aug. 20-24,

shows Clinton with a commanding 54 percent vote share in Iowa, with Sanders and Biden following at 20 percent and 11 percent respectively, the internals show how damaging the email scandal will be among Democrats to Clinton.

Asked if they personally were “bothered” by the scandal, potential Democratic caucus-goers said no by 70-26. But asked if the scandal would hurt Clinton’s chances of winning, they said yes by 52-36. If Obama and Biden underscore this concern, it will take away the victory from Clinton.

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

Key Common Core goals not achieved LOS ANGELES — Results for some of the states that participated in Common Core-aligned testing for the first time this spring have been released.

Overall scores are higher than expected, though below what many parents may be accustomed to seeing.

Full or preliminary scores have been released for Connecticut, Idaho, Missouri, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia.

Those states participated in the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. That’s one of the two groups of states awarded $330 million by the U.S. Department of Education to develop exams to test students on the Common Core standards in math and English language arts.

Yet even when all the results are in, a fundamental goal of Common Core will be unfulfilled: Student performance will not be comparable across a majority of states.

Tropical storm still worrying residents ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tropical Storm Erika dissipated Saturday, but folks in the Tampa Bay area are watching it carefully.

The 9 a.m. forecast from the National Hurricane Center showed the storm had degenerated into a trough of low pressure by early Saturday after mountains and an unfavorable environment in Hispaniola knocked Erika below tropical storm force.

It appeared that it would bypass droughtstricken South Florida entirely. But emergency managers in the Tampa Bay area are still worried about heavy rain.

“Our aquifers are full.

There’s no more areas for the water to percolate to,” said Ed Caum, a spokesman for Pasco County’s emergency operations center.

People who record police risk arrest HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. — Smartphones are making it easier than ever for people to record police encounters with the public, providing evidence of beatings and shootings that wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

But some police departments are responding to the scrutiny by arresting citizen videographers on such

charges as obstruction or interfering with a crime scene. And even though recording police is protected by the First Amendment, civil libertarians say such arrests are only becoming more frequent.

New York’s ACLU has been fighting back with an app that automatically uploads citizen videos to a central server, preserving them even if the smartphone is seized.

And California Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed a “Right to Record Act” that specifically declares people may not be prevented from recording the police.

Grain trains ready for record harvest STERLING, N.D. — With a record fall harvest fast approaching, farmers are expecting to get the trains they need to move crops to market.

It’s a turnaround from the past two years when elevators across the Upper Great Plains were overflowing and mountains of grain were piled on the ground awaiting rail cars.

The recent reversal is attributed to unprecedented spending on track upgrades, political pressure from farmstate politicians and a drastic decrease in trains hauling crude and freight to and from western North Dakota’s oil-producing region.

BNSF Railway Co. says it has invested billions of dollars in upgrades across its rail network since 2013, including $1 billion in North Dakota alone. The railroad says it is now shipping all freight “faster, more predictable and more consistent.”

Starr urges review of sex assault case WACO, Texas — Baylor University President Ken Starr is proposing an independent investigation of the athletic department’s handling of the sexual assault complaint against defensive end Sam Ukwuachu.

Starr proposed the hiring of outside counsel after reviewing the results of the internal inquiry of sexual assault case, for which Ukwuachu was convicted and sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years of probation.

In a university statement Friday, Starr also proposes creating a new position at the athletic department to monitor the behavior of the university athletes and report directly to

Across the State

Starr, not the athletic department.

Starr says the officer would ensure Baylor athletes “maintain the high level of personal ethics and integrity” that Baylor and its followers demand.

Ex-student declared guilty of sex crimes CONCORD, N.H. — A graduate of an exclusive New England prep school was cleared of rape but convicted Friday of lesser sex offenses against a 15-year-old freshman girl in a case that exposed a tradition in which seniors competed to see how many younger students they could have sex with.

A jury of nine men and three women took eight hours to reach its verdict in the case against Owen Labrie, who was accused of forcing himself on the girl in a dark and noisy mechanical room at St. Paul’s School in Concord two days before he graduated in 2014.

Labrie, who was bound for Harvard and planned to take divinity classes before his arrest put everything on hold, could get as much as 11 years in prison at sentencing Oct. 29.

The 19-year-old from Tunbridge, Vermont, will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

He wept upon hearing the verdict, and then, as his lawyers conferred with the judge, sat alone at the defense table, shaking his head slightly and looking up at the ceiling.

Fed vice chair may give rake hike clues WASHINGTON — What once seemed a sure bet — that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates in September — suddenly appears less certain following a wild week of stock market turbulence.

The market’s ride and how the Fed will react provide the backdrop for the annual high-profile economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Fed Chair Janet Yellen decided to skip this year’s meeting, so Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer is commanding top attention, with investors eagerly parsing his every word.

Fischer’s message: Incoming economic data and market developments over the next two weeks will play crucial roles in determining whether the Fed raises interest rates at its September meeting.

Nurse charged with taking patients’ pills SENATOBIA — A nurse from north Mississippi is charged with taking away patients’ prescription painkillers.

The attorney general’s office says in a news release that 27-year-old Samantha Livingston of Senatobia was booked into the Marshall County jail Friday and released on a $5,000 bond.

The news release says a Marshall County grand jury indicted Livingston on two counts of acquiring or obtaining possession of a controlled substance or prescription by misrepresentation or fraud.

The indictment says Livingston was working as licensed practical nurse at a rehabilitation center in Byhalia when she signed out about 40 hydrocodone pills with acetaminophen that had been prescribed to two patients.

Vicksburg signs deal for airport upgrades VICKSBURG — The city of Vicksburg is getting more than $170,000 from the Federal Aviation Administration for improvements to the Vicksburg Municipal Airport.

The Vicksburg Post reports that the city has awarded a $54,221 contract to Killen Electric Inc. to install the precision approach path indicator and another one for $142,185 to Look’s Great Service Inc. to clear the woods from the north end of the runway.

The federal money will cover 90 percent of the contract. The Mississippi Department of

Transportation is paying half of the local match, or $9,820. The city will provide the rest.

City officials dropped a proposal to close the airport in favor of Vicksburg-Tallulah Regional Airport in Mound, Louisiana, which is jointly owned by the city; Warren County; Madison Parish and Tallulah in Louisiana.

Lauderdale County sets 2 murder trials MERIDIAN — Two murder trials are scheduled in a next few weeks in Lauderdale County Circuit Court.

WTOK-TV in Meridian reports that Carl Bell will be tried Sept. 21 on two counts of murder in the deaths of Algene Grant and Aketi Sims Washington.

Two sets of skeletal remains were discovered buried in a shallow grave behind a home in the Bailey community in May of 2013. Bell was arrested several days later.

In the second case, a man charged in the death of an elderly man outside a grocery store in 2014 is scheduled for Nov. 21. Shon Byrd is charged with capital murder in the death of 87-year-old Billy Putnam, who was shot and killed during a robbery on Mother’s Day in the parking lot of the store.

Court: Park can rent empty trailer spaces BRANDON — A Rankin County judge has ruled a municipality cannot stop a mobile home park from re-renting vacated spaces.

In a decision this past week, Circuit Judge John H. Emfinger ruled against the city of Pearl, which had sought to prevent a local manufactured home park from re-filling vacated lots with mobile homes.

In May, the Mississippi Supreme Court reversed an earlier decision by Emfinger that the city of Richland could control how empty lots were handled by a local mobile home park.

The Supreme Court said Richland’s interpretation of its zoning law violated the mobile home park owner’s “constitutional right to enjoy its property.”

$1 million raised for endowed chair OXFORD — The University of Mississippi says more than $1 million has been raised for an endowed chair honoring outgoing Chancellor Dan Jones.

The university says in a news release Friday that the Daniel W. Jones, M.D. Faculty Chair has received donations from 400 alumni, faculty, staff members and friends.

It is the 25th endowed chair on the Oxford campus.

Jones, a 66-year-old physician, has led the university since June 2009 after serving six years as the university’s vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine in Jackson.

In June, the University of Mississippi Medical Center said Jones will be leading clinical research at the Mississippi Center for Obesity Research.

Man charged in deputy’s ambush

BY JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press

HOUSTON — Texas prosecutors on Saturday charged a 30-year-old man with capital murder in the killing of a uniformed sheriff’s deputy who was gunned down from behind while filling his patrol car with gas in what officials described as a “senseless and cowardly act.”

The arrest of Shannon J. Miles — who has a criminal history that includes convictions for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct with a firearm — came less than 24 hours after authorities said he ambushed Darren Goforth, a 10year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, at a suburban Houston Chevron station.

“I am proud of the men and women that have worked swiftly to apprehend the responsible person who posed a significant threat to both law enforcement and the community at large,” Harris County Sheriff

Ron Hickman said at a news conference. “Our deputies return to the streets tonight to hold a delicate peace that was shattered last evening.”

Hickman said the motive for the killing had not been determined but investigators would look at whether Miles, who is black, was motivated by anger over recent killings elsewhere of black men by police that have spawned the “Black Lives Matter” protest movement. Goforth was white.

“I think that’s something that we have to keep an eye on,” Hickman said.

“The general climate of that kind of rhetoric can be influential on people to do things like this.

We’re still searching to find out if that’s actually a motive.”

Hickman said investigators are working on the assumption “that he was a target because he wore a uniform.”

Goforth, 47, was pumping gas Friday night when the gunman approached him from

behind and fired multiple shots, continuing to fire after the deputy had fallen to the ground.

The deputy had gone to the Chevron gas station in Cypress, a middle-class to upper middle-class suburban area of Harris County that is unincorporated and located northwest of Houston, after responding to a routine car accident earlier Friday.

Earlier on Saturday, Hickman had called the killing a “cold-blooded assassination.”

“Cops’ lives matter, too,” Hickman said then.

“So why don’t we drop the qualifier and say lives matter.”

Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson echoed Hickman’s sentiments.

“There are a few bad apples in every profession. That does not mean there should be open warfare declared on law enforcement,” she said.

In a statement Saturday, Gov. Greg Abbott said “heinous and delib-

erate crimes against law enforcement will not be tolerated” and that the state “reveres the men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve their communities.”

Hickman said Miles had been in the custody of authorities “all night.”

Authorities earlier Saturday said they had been speaking with a person of interest but had not identified that individual.

Court records of Miles’ previous arrests show he lived at a home that deputies searched earlier Saturday and where a red truck, similar to one that authorities said left the scene of the shooting, was found. Hickman credited the work of investigators and “routine research” that found the truck that led to “the suspect responsible for this senseless and cowardly act.”

An impromptu memorial sprouted at the pump Goforth had used Friday night.

Gunman remembered as ‘professional victim’ Associated Press

ROANOKE, Va. — Vester Flanagan constantly saw himself as the target in his conflicts with WDBJ-TV colleagues, leading his former boss to describe him as a “professional victim.”

When the station tried to persuade Flanagan to get along better with his co-workers, he accused them of discrimination.

“He was victimized by everything and everyone and could never quite grasp the fact that he was the common denominator in all of these really sometimes serious interpersonal conflicts that he had with people,” said Dan Dennison, the former news director at WDBJ in Virginia.

Flanagan killed two of his former colleagues on Wednesday during a live

broadcast and later died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

On the day he was fired in 2013, Flanagan pressed a wooden cross into Dennison’s hand and said, “You’ll need this,” as two police officers escorted him out.

Flanagan’s departure was filmed by Adam Ward, the cameraman who was killed along with reporter Alison Parker.

Parker and Ward died of gunshot wounds to the head and body, the medical examiner’s office said Friday. The woman Parker was interviewing, Vicki Gardner, was shot in the back and was in good condition at a hospital.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe met privately Friday with grieving station employees to share his

condolences. The 50 or so workers have been described as a close-knit group, and they have continued reporting on their slain colleagues in the face of the tragedy.

“The courage and determination they showed is truly, truly extraordinary,” McAuliffe said outside the station.

He talked about his support for universal background checks for gun purchases and said “there are too many guns in America and there are clearly too many guns in the wrong hands.” But McAuliffe, himself a gun owner, also said Flanagan had passed a background check.

Dennison, the former news director, said WDBJ had no idea of Flanagan’s personal shortcomings before he was hired there and he

Flanagan’s hair-trigger temper became evident at least 15 years ago at WTWC-TV in Tallahassee, Florida, said Don Shafer, who hired him there in 1999. Shafer recalled Flanagan as a good reporter and a “clever, funny guy” — but he also had conflicts with co-workers “to the point where he was threatening people.”

“Had some physical confrontations with a couple of people, and at one point became such a distraction that we finally had to terminate him,” said Shafer, now news director with XETV in San Diego.

After stints in California, Florida and North Carolina, Flanagan’s last television job was at WDBJ in Roanoke.

Associated Press

JACKSON — Four lesbian couples are asking a federal judge to immediately stop Mississippi from enforcing a law that bans same-sex couples from adopting or taking children into foster care.

The request for a preliminary injunction was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Jackson.

The document said an injunction would only affect the four couples who are plaintiffs.

The couples and two gay-rights groups, the Campaign for Southern Equality and the Family Equality Council, filed

suit Aug. 12 to challenge Mississippi’s 2000 law that set the adoption ban.

It was not immediately clear how soon U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan will consider the request filed Friday.

A preliminary injunction would stop the state from enforcing a law while it is challenged in court.

A judge can grant injunction if it appears that the people who filed a lawsuit would face irreparable harm by letting the law remain in place, and if they appear likely to win the suit based on their legal arguments.

The couples point out that Republican Gov. Phil Bryant said in his 2014 State of the State address that he wanted all children to be born into a “mature, two-parent family.” They say allowing same-sex couples to adopt would help fulfill that goal.

Bryant, who is seeking re-election this year, has said many times that he opposes adoption by same-sex couples.

Mississippi is the last state to ban adoptions by same-sex couples.

Lawmakers in Florida and Michigan reversed bans earlier this year.

Honesty. Integrity. Dedication.

My family and I truly appreciate the prayers and words of encouragement we received during the election campaign and we thank each of you for your support.

Alcorn County is moving forward and I am proud of what has been accomplished over the last few years: • Unemployment dropped from 12% to 5% and over 400 jobs were added at our existing industries.

• The new industrial park provides the much needed land, electrical, railroad, and road access new industries require when determining where to locate.

• New businesses and restaurants have opened and the work done in the SoCo District makes our community even more inviting to those living here and looking to relocate here.

• The Park Expansion and Upgrade will improve our quality of life locally and be a great draw for sporting events.

But there is more to do and we have many challenges ahead of us. I am grateful for your vote and I ask for your continued help and prayers as we build on our successes and overcome our challenges. Together, we can keep Alcorn County moving forward.

SURVIVORS CONTINUED FROM 1A

Alex Al-Qawwas remembers Katrina like it was yesterday. It was just two hours before the hurricane would make landfall when Al-Qawwas and his family decided to leave their Lake Pontchartrain home.

“We just left everything and went. All we had was a hand bag,” he said. “I remember heading north down the highway — their was so much traffic. Just rows and rows of cars heading out of the city and absolutely no one heading in.”

A few days later, the AlQawwas’ returned home to a ghost town.

“There was no one on the streets — not even the police,” he said. “There was six to eight feet of water in our neighborhood. We had lost our home, our restaurant and our cars — we had nothing.”

Painting a picture of the horror he witnessed, Al-Qawwas described the scene before him.

“There was an unnatural stillness which stretched as far as the eye could see,” he said. “And the smell ... you could smell the dead.”

Following Katrina, the Al-Qawwas’ moved to North Mississippi.

Alex, his wife Manal and their three children, Tarik, Zaine and Jamil, now call Corinth home where they run a successful Mediterranean cafe.

“We came to Corinth and started from zero,” said Al-Qawwas, head chef and owner of JT’s Falafel and

Kabobs.

While he often visits New Orleans, Al-Qawwas says he will never return to stay.

“It’s a chapter in my life that is now closed,” he said.

Booneville resident Guy Windham was living in the French Quarter of New Orleans when evacuations began.

“I only packed an overnight bag, because I thought I would be able to go back, but it took five weeks before I was able to return,” he said.

There was no damage to Windham’s apartment and unlike the much of New Orleans, the French Quarter was never under water.

Mostly, he remembers the stench.

“It got in my hair and my clothes and I just couldn’t get away from it,” Windham added. “There were flies everywhere.”

Corinth native Chris Wooten headed north 10 years ago when Katrina moved inland towards his home in Laurel about 100 miles from the Gulf Coast.

“It was really eerie when I returned after the storm,” Wooten said. “There were no street lights and I could hear generators humming throughout town. When the media said it looked like a war-zone ... they were right.”

Wooten said hotels were completely full around Laurel and Hattiesburg.

The same could be said of Corinth.

As Katrina made landfall, hundreds of refugees from the Gulf Coast filled up ev-

ery available hotel room in the Crossroads area.

Both residents and refugees battened down the hatches on August 30, 2005 when the remnants of Hurricane Katrina passed over Alcorn County.

Downgraded to a tropical storm by the National Weather Service, the largescale storm packed 100 mph wind and dumped more than five inches of rain on Corinth.

Although five families were displaced and close to 3,000 people were without power, damage was incomparable to the destruction the storm left behind on the Gulf Coast.

In the days and weeks following the storm, the local outreach was unmatched.

Area businesses, organizations and churches held fundraisers and made donations to the Red Cross or other emergency agencies to help with the Gulf Coast relief effort.

Many area residents traveled south carrying supplies and offering a helping hand to the victims of the storm.

That includes mini-hot dogs, little chicken sandwiches and shakes that are smaller than a small.

It’s all intended to entice people who are searching for a small treat between meals, a cheap bite or a little something extra at mealtime.

This week, Arby’s introduced a lineup of sliders, with the miniature versions of its regular sandwiches costing less than $2 each. Earlier this year, Sonic introduced “Lil Doggies� and “Lil Chickies,�or petite hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, for around the same price. They were so popular the chain is bringing them back next

week.

Taco Bell is promoting its “Dare Devil Loaded Grillers,� which are smaller burritos for about a buck.

The more modest serving sizes are intended to serve a variety of eating habits, including the uptick in people snacking and eating smaller meals around the clock. That means giving people options that don’t make them feel like they’re pigging out.

They aren’t all shrunken versions of regular items, either.

Burger King said the return of its chicken fries is helping push up sales, with many people stopping in to get French fry-shaped fried chicken as a snack. And Dunkin’ Donuts CEO Nigel Travis has said the chain’s new sandwiches are meant to be snacks — not lunch — to fit with the changing way people are eating. “What we’re seeing is

the definition of meals is changing,� said Popeyes CEO Cheryl Bachelder.

She said Popeyes’ new menu items are developed to work as snacks and be easy to eat on the go, such as its “Rip’n� chicken, which is shaped so pieces can be torn off easily.

Snacks on fast-food menus aren’t entirely new; McDonald’s has offered snack wraps for years — and White Castle might as well have patented the slider. But overall, Arby’s Chief Marketing Officer Rob Lynch thinks chains are losing customers to convenience stores like Wawa because they haven’t done a great job with smaller, cheaper bites. “They’re getting this business because the restaurant industry hasn’t built a platform that meets this need,� Lynch said.

Reduced portion sizes can also be a way to attract deal-seekers, because smaller sizes usu-

ally mean smaller prices.

That’s an area some fastfood chains are struggling with, as rising costs for ingredients like beef and dairy have made it tough to keep offering traditional dollar menus.

McDonald’s and Wendy’s, for instance, have both replaced their dollar menus with value menus that offer options at a variety of prices. But the CEOs of both chains have admitted they need to do something more to satisfy the value-seeking crowd.

Relatively dainty sizes can also entice people into indulging in treats they would otherwise avoid.

It’s why Sonic introduced a “mini� size for its ice cream shakes, and why Starbucks offered a “mini� 10-ounce version of its Frappuccino this spring. The idea is to bring in customers who are careful about caloric splurges, while still dishing out bigger portions to others.

Economy went from solid to stellar in 2Q

BY MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy staged a far bigger rebound last quarter than first thought, outpacing the rest of the developed world and bolstering confidence that it will remain sturdy in coming months despite global headwinds.

The economy as measured by gross domestic product expanded at an annual rate of 3.7 percent in the April-June quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday.

That’s more than a percentage point greater than the initial 2.3 percent estimate and a sharp upgrade from the anemic 0.6 percent advance during the January-March quarter.

President Barack Obama took note of the good GDP report, saying it showed America remains “an anchor of global strength and stability� with an economic recovery that has been faster and stronger than most other nations. “It’s important to remember that strength.

There’s been a lot of reports in the news, stock markets swinging, wor-

ries about China and about Europe,� Obama said during a tour of New Orleans to see rebuilding efforts since Hurricane Katrina 10 years ago.

To be sure, the GDP report provides a backward look at the U.S. economy.

Since the spring, it has been hit with deepening concerns about a slowdown in China and recent turbulence in global financial markets.

It remains unclear how the U.S. will fare in the months ahead if developments abroad deteriorate.

The robust secondquarter numbers, however, indicate a level of growth unmatched by the rest of the developed world and a solid footing heading into the second half of the year. “The U.S. economy entered the current market turbulence with momentum, which will help it to shrug off the drag from China and other developing economies,� said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial.

In contrast, Japan — the world’s No. 3 economy — shrank at an annual pace of 1.6 percent in the second quarter. Germa-

ny eked out 0.4 percent growth, while the United Kingdom expanded at a modest 0.7 percent rate.

France didn’t grow at all.

The U.S. economy will probably cool slightly in the third quarter, but economists still expect solid growth that should keep fueling jobs and spending.

Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, projects GDP growth of 2.5 percent in the current July-September quarter. “The economy regained a massive amount of momentum in the second quarter and all the evidence from July’s activity and employment data suggests that momentum continued into the third quarter,� Ashworth said in a note to clients.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, is forecasting the economy to grow around 2.8 percent in third quarter and accelerate to a 3.5 percent annual rate in the October-December period. But he said that is based on an expectation that the recent market turbulence will not inflict long-lasting damage on the economy.

“My forecast rests on the assumption that this is a garden variety market correction, with stock prices dropping by 10 percent from their recent high,� Zandi said. “If we get a bigger decline of 20 percent, then that will hurt consumption and housing, and we will not get the job growth we are expecting.�

The revision for second-quarter growth was broad-based, reflecting more robust spending by consumers, businesses and government.

Consumer spending grew at annual rate of 3.1 percent, up from a 1.8 percent growth rate in the first quarter.

Business investment in structures and equipment was revised higher to show growth of 3.2 percent instead of a decline.

Housing construction jumped 7.8 percent, up from an initial estimate of 6.6 percent growth.

Businesses spent more to restock their store shelves as well.

Also fueling growth were strong gains in state and local government spending, largely due to greater public construction outlays.

Firms cut ties with farmer tied to abuse video Associated Press

NEW YORK — McDonald’s and its supplier Tyson Foods say they’ve cut ties with a chicken farmer after an advocacy group released a video taken with a hidden camera that the group said showed abusive practices

at its farm.

The video was released

by Mercy for Animals, an animal rights group that says it has released more than 40 similar videos in the past. The footage shows people scooping chickens into a bucket by whacking them with a pole

with a spike on the end, and standing on birds’ heads to break their necks.

Tyson Foods Inc. said in a statement that it was investigating the situation, but that it terminated the farmer’s contract “based on what we currently know.� McDonald’s Corp. said in a statement that it supported Tyson’s decision to terminate its contract with the farmer in question. “We’re working with Tyson Foods to further investigate this situation and reinforce our expectations around animal health and welfare at the farm level,� McDonald’s said in a statement.

The farm in Tennessee identified by Mercy for Animals could not immediately be reached.

The farm supplied chicken for McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, according to Mercy for Animals.

McDonald’s said the farm may have also supplied chicken for menu items including grilled and deep-fried chicken filets and its McChicken sandwich.

Tyson said in its statement that the video doesn’t reflect the treatment of chickens by the thousands of farmers that supply it. But Matt Rice, director of investigations for Mercy for Animals, said the group’s investigators walk away with images that “shock and horrify� every time they go on site at a farm. “Unfortunately this type animal abuse runs rampant in the animal agriculture industry,� Rice said.

Mercy for Animals is asking McDonald’s to adopt a number of animal welfare policies, such as giving chickens more space, ending breeding practices designed to make chickens grow so quickly that they develop health problems, and the installation of video monitoring on farms.

Rice said Mercy for Animals has requested meetings with Tyson, but said the company has declined its requests. A representative for Tyson, Gary Mickelson, said Tyson has previously offered to meet with the group.

Longing for the past casts a shadow over the present DEAR ABBY: Have you any advice for handling nostalgia?

While it can be pleasant, lately I have been getting very down when I think about my past.

I’m sad that I can never relive those experiences, and I’m wondering what’s wrong with my life now Abigail that makes Van Buren me feel this way.

I’m 25 and Dear Abby have a lot of life ahead of me. Now that I think about it, I have always had the habit of thinking the past is better than the present.

Then, a few years later, I end up missing THAT time in my life — even though at the time, I didn’t appreciate it.

How can I start enjoying and appreciating my present and treasure my past, but not let it hold me back? — NOSTALGIC IN NEW JERSEY DEAR NOSTALGIC: Try this: Each morning, before getting out of bed, take a few minutes to consider the things in your life that you are grateful for and that you enjoy.

Picture them one at a time in your mind -- whether it’s your

parents, your friends, your health or perhaps a recent experience.

If you do, this will put you in a positive frame of mind to begin your day.

If you find your thoughts sliding backward into negativity at any point after that, remind yourself to return to reality and stay in the moment or concentrate on something you have to look forward to.

It may lift your spirits.

However, if this doesn’t help to improve your outlook, then it’s time to consider talking to a licensed mental health professional about it.

DEAR ABBY: Three weeks ago, I invited a friend to attend a dinner party I am throwing.

She promised to check her calendar and let me know if she was available.

Twelve days went by and, because I had heard nothing, I assumed she wasn’t available and filled the table with someone else.

Now she’s calling to say she IS available, but I already have a full table. What do I do now?

— ONE TOO MANY IN NEW YORK DEAR ONE TOO MANY: It shouldn’t take 12 days to check one’s calendar.

Your friend was rude in not letting you know right away.

Call your friend and explain that when you didn’t hear from her, you assumed she couldn’t make it, so you invited someone else.

And don’t apologize for it, because she owes you an apology.

DEAR ABBY: I have a question I have never seen addressed before.

I have a lot of collectible toys stored in my attic that I bought for my stepson more than 30 years ago. Now that he knows they’re worth money — which he doesn’t need — he wants me to return them so he can sell them. Is he entitled to demand them back? — STEPDAD IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR STEPDAD: I think so.

When the toys were given to him, they became his property.

On the other hand, because they have been in your attic all these years, it seems only fair that you be compensated for the “storage fees.”

Whatever is decided, I hope it won’t cause a rift in your family.

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).

You’ll spend some time chasing down the item you’d like to add to your collection. It’s almost more fun finding it than owning it. If it can be obtained just through money, it’s not that interesting to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your brain thrives on short learning stints. You could amass solid skills and/or great knowledge 15 minutes at a time. Whatever endeavor you concentrate on, you’ll excel at.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’ll show your feelings in depth without even trying. You know, they know, and so does everyone else within a 20-foot vicinity. Don’t be surprised if your interactions inspire some jealousy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Change will be slow and all for the better. This is completely inevitable. There’s no benefit in resisting. Go on and take the risk you’ve been afraid to take.

You have a good instinct about

where to take your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your nearest and dearest care about you immensely, though they may be experiencing a kind of blindness that comes with familiarity. A stranger will extend kindness beyond what your closest loved ones offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). So much happens inside you while you sleep. You’re being healed, rebuilt, changed... Today’s new information will process over the course of several nights. By the end of the week, you’ll be someone different.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Dramatic people attract dramatic happenings. It’s something to steer clear of now. Complication is avoidable. Surround yourself with people you enjoy on many levels.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

A short attention span can be a good thing -- it will keep you from wasting your time today.

You’ll ask the questions that lead to brief and immediately applica-

ble instruction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You see friendships as a creative endeavor -- something you build together. Exercise your social muscle, especially through humor. Your levity will be infectious.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You care. You want to stay in touch with the latest and greatest developments. And yet, in some ways, you’re not affected by the passage of time or the changes in fashion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You have the uninhibited energy of a child for most of the day.

Your active life will take so many turns before the sun goes down that you will need to fill your evening hours with soothing, quiet activities to help you relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Even those who don’t believe in destiny want to know what theirs is. You’ll run into such a conundrum today, and you’ll play in the world of theory and conjecture to try to work it out.

Pontotoc continues series dominance

BY H. LEE SMITH II AND JEFF YORK Pontotoc jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and went on to defeat Kossuth 34-19 in football action on Friday.

It was the first time the two programs have met on the gridiron since 2000. The Warrior have now won three straight and 12 of 13 overall in the series dating back to 1986.

Kossuth (1-1) used a 13-point second quarter to pull to within a point at the break. A 21-yard run by Hunter Brooks and a 33-yard pass from Matthew Bobo to Beau Lee put Kossuth back in the game.

Pontotoc (1-1) scored 13 unanswered points in the third to extend the lead to 27-13 heading into the final 12 minutes.

Jaley Adams provided Kossuth’s final points on a 6-yard run in the fourth.

Kossuth hosts Baldwyn (2-0) on Friday.

rade for Jerry Lott’s soccer club. Gabi Forsythe, Danielle’s sister, scored one goal in the game. Hunter Ferguson, Mary Kate Doyle, Carisa Morris, and Holley Moore scored a goal.

Moore was the keeper in the first half and played forward in the second half to score the goal.

Moore and Hannah Hughes combined to post the shutout as keepers for the blue and gold. The MCHS defense played well in not allowing the Lady Wildcats to put a shot-ongoal.

Kailie Lott, Ferguson, and D. Forsythe collected assists in the lopsided victory.

McNairy tallied six goals in the first half to take a 6-0 lead and Lott was able to clear the bench in the second half.

LOS ANGELES — Ronda Rousey’s next UFC fight against Holly Holm has been moved up to November 15 in Melbourne, Australia.

The mixed martial arts promotion made the announcement Friday night. Rousey was scheduled to defend her bantamweight title against Holm on January 2 in Las Vegas, but a thumb injury to welterweight champion Robbie Lawler has changed the UFC’s schedule. Lawler was slated to defend his title against Carlos Condit in the main event at UFC 193 at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium, which will seat more than 55,000.

Due to the time difference, the live pay-perview event will be broadcast in the United States on November 14.

Instead, Rousey (120) will go after her seventh title defense against Holm (9-0), the boxing champion from New Mexico. Rousey has become one of the world’s most prominent female athletes while winning her last three bouts in a combined 64 seconds.

She stopped Bethe Correia in 34 seconds on August 1.

Being home team can be blessing and curse Associated Press

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Kaden Peifer and his Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, teammates use the same word over and over when describing what it’s like to be playing two hours from home in front of 35,000 fans at the Little League World Series.

“Crazy,” the 12-year-old catcher said while taking a break Thursday from signing autographs outside Lamade Stadium.

“It’s just hard to believe that so many people are coming out just to see us,” he said.

About 40,000 people are expected on Saturday to watch undefeated Lewisberry take on Pearland, Texas, for the United States championship. Officials say the crowd could challenge the stadium’s single-game record of 44,800 set in 2001. Fans are expected to fill the large hill behind the outfield fence, which is normally empty enough for

younger fans to use as an alpine slide with cardboard sheets.

Pearland lost 3-0 to Lewisberry on Wednesday, but beat Bonita, California, 9-7 in extra innings Thursday night to earn a rematch with the Pennsylvania team. The winner will play the international champion, either undefeated Tokyo or Mexicali Baja California, Mexico, on Sunday for the World Series title.

Many believe the home-

field advantage makes Lewisberry the favorite.

“Obviously it’s not easy to play before 35,000 people when 34,900 are rooting for Pennsylvania,” said Pearland manager Andrew Solomon.

And Pearland players said the fans were doing more than just rooting for Lewisberry, describing some of them as downright hostile.

Illinois fires coach Beckman 1 week before season opener Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A week before the start of the football season, a difficult summer for the University of Illinois became chaotic as coach Tim Beckman was fired after an investigation found he tried to influence medical decisions and pressure players to play with injuries.

Beckman’s firing follows the unexpected resignations this month of the top two officials on campus, revelations that they’d used private emails accounts to avoid public scrutiny of school business, and a pair of lawsuits in which former women’s bas-

ketball and women’s soccer players claim they were mistreated by coaches.

And the rocky times may not be over: The investigation that led athletic director Mike Thomas — a defendant named in those lawsuits — to fire Beckman continues.

Thomas said Friday that he received some preliminary results of the investigation earlier this week, and despite timing he called “unfortunate,” saw enough to fire Beckman just before his fourth season started.

“I was shocked and angry when I became aware of the preliminary firings,” Thomas

said. “Certainly that’s what led to me making this decision swiftly, before the final report became due.”

In a statement Friday evening, Beckman denied any wrongdoing and hinted that he might take legal action, calling the decision to fire him “a rush to judgment that confirms the university’s bad faith.”

“I firmly deny the implications in Mike’s statements that I took any action that was not in the best interests of the health, safety and well-being of my players,” Beckman said, noting that many of his players today indicated their sup-

port.

“I will vigorously defend both my reputation and my legal rights,” he added.

Beckman will not receive $3.1 million remaining on the final two years of his original five-year contract, or the $743,000 buyout it includes.

Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit, who was head coach at Western Michigan from 2005-12 and the coach of Beckman’s first win at Illinois in 2012, has been named interim coach. The Illini open at home against Kent State Sept. 4.

fried said they sounded like “my mother when she’s mad.”

“They’re mean, they were really rude,” added pitcher/first baseman Zack Mack. “They complained a lot.”

But Peifer said playing in front of that crowd is not easy for the home team either. The 12- and 13-year-olds have tried to block out the distractions and just focus on baseball, he said. But, they know a Pennsylvania team has not won the World Series title since Levittown in 1960 or the U.S. title since Shippensburg in 1990.

“At some points, I think it can be a little harder on us, because the fans expect us to beat everybody,” Peifer said.

“But we’re not going to mercy-rule every team.”

Their opponent hails from just outside Houston and has the advantage of getting to practice outside year-round.

The Lewisberry players had to deal with about 40 inches of snow between November and March, according to the National Weather Service.

They stayed sharp, the players said, by going to an indoor baseball train-

ing facility owned by pitcher Cole Wagner’s uncle.

“We did a lot of batting practice, fielding practice, lifting and stuff,” said outfielder Jarrett Wisman. “We train a lot.”

Texas has been embracing the underdog role throughout the series. Solomon has said his team felt a bit slighted by the attention given to Pennsylvania and California, which hit 15 home runs in its five games here, but lost twice to Pearland.

“We have a really good team,” he said. “We might not hit the most home runs or have a kid that throws 82 mph, but we are a very good, fundamentally sound team.”

And while Texas doesn’t have the home field, it has plenty of motivation.

This is the organization’s third trip to the Little League World Series in the last five years. In both 2010 and 2014, Pearland lost to the eventual U.S. champions.

Solomon, who sports long dreadlocks, has told his players that if they win the World Series this year, they can cut his hair.

BECKMAN CONTINUED FROM 10A

The allegations against Beckman first surfaced on May 10, Mother’s Day, when former starting lineman Simon Cvijanovic claimed in a long series of messages on Twitter that the head coach and his staff had tried to shame him into playing hurt, and had misled him about medical procedures following a knee injury.

“All I can say right now is I think it’s a step in the right direction,” Cvijanovic told the AP by phone.

“It seems like there’s more than just Beckman that needs to be held accountable.”

The university hired the Chicago law firm Franczek Radelet to investigate the allegations.

The university said Friday that the investigation found evidence of “efforts to deter injury reporting,” as well as attempts to influence medical decisions “that pressured players to avoid or postpone medical treatment and continue playing.”

The investigation also found instances

in which some players were “treated inappropriately with respect to whether they could remain on scholarship” in the spring semester of their senior year.

Thomas declined to discuss specifics or say how many players were involved in either of those findings.

So far, he said, no other coaches have been implicated, but he added he doesn’t know how much longer the investigation will last.

Thomas said the law firm had so far interviewed more than 90 people and reviewed 200,000 documents, along with a large volume of practice and game video from Beckman’s three-plus years in Champaign.

The athletic director said he had never seen or heard anything that indicated Beckman was treating players poorly.

Beckman was Thomas’ first major hire after he came to Illinois from Cincinnati in 2011.

Beckman had been head coach at Toledo and replaced Ron Zook, who Thomas fired after the 2011 season.

Bae tied for lead as military service looms Associated Press

EDISON, N.J. — Ryan Palmer can’t imagine the emotions if he were to win The Barclays a week after his father died. Bae Sangmoon would love nothing more than to play in the Presidents Cup at home in South Korea before he starts his mandatory military service. Jason Day is one round away from being in the race for No. 1 in the world.

The FedEx Cup playoffs suddenly are about a lot more than a $10 million bonus at the end.

Bae and Day traded birdies through the third round Saturday at Plainfield Country Club. Their best-ball score would have been 56. On their own, each had a 7-under 63 and were tied for the lead going at 11-under 199, one shot ahead of Bubba Watson (67).

Bae has to start his twoyear military stint when he returns to South Korea.

With a victory on Sunday,

he would be assured a spot on the International team for the Presidents Cup, which is being held in his home country for the first time and will be the biggest golf event in South Korea.

“I have a really tough situation right now, but I don’t think about it anymore, actually,” he said. “I have to go back. So that is a few weeks later. So I just want to play good golf this week and really want to play Presidents Cup in my country.”

The emotion comes from Palmer, who hasn’t had a top 10 in the last three months. He is playing a week after his 71-year-old father died just north of Amarillo, Texas, when his SUV overturned. Palmer has found peaceful moments on the golf course, and while dropping two shots late in his round Saturday, he had a 65 and was two shots behind.

At times, Palmer caught himself wondering what it

would mean to win with a family grieving at home.

“But then I just kind of come back saying, ‘OK, let’s just hit this shot, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves yet.’ I don’t know what it’s going to be like if it happens,” Palmer said after a 65. “I can’t put into words what it would mean for sure.”

Day, just like he did on the par 5s at Whistling Straits when he won his first major two weeks ago, cracked a 343-yard drive down the middle on the 601-yard 16th hole, and then hit a 4-iron to 18 feet and holed it for eagle to tie for the lead. Day and Bae made bogey from the rough on the 17th, and both got up-and-down for birdie on the reachable 18th.

A victory by the 27-yearold Australian would be his fourth win of the year, tying him with Jordan Spieth for most on the PGA Tour this year, and allow him to join the race

for No. 1 going into the final month of the tour season. Spieth, who missed the cut, will lose the No. 1 spot to Rory McIlroy.

“I’m shooting for my fourth win of the season, so I can’t really get ahead of myself,” Day said. “I’ve just got to not be satisfied with the score that I’m at.

I’ve just got to keep pushing, because the moment that you’re satisfied with a score is the moment that you mentally kind of take a break and you start making mistakes.”

Still, Bae might have the most at stake. He had been able to avoid his mandatory military service through his PGA Tour career until it was determined that he spent too much time in South Korea last year. He appealed the decision at the start of the year, and the military courts ruled a month ago that he had to serve. Bae accepted the decision, though he remains in America to finish out the FedEx Cup.

Sometimes the answers are right in front of us “The answer was right there in front of me the whole time!” is something we have all said ourselves and heard from others. You don’t see it sooner beBryan cause of the Golden tendency to doubt the Dare to Live e x i s t e n c e Without Limits of obvious solutions.

Life is filled with questions, problems, obstacles, and challenges.

Searching for answers can easily be frustrating and overwhelming. We gravitate toward elaborate solutions.

People use many strategies in their quest for answers. One approach is

constantly moving from one place to another.

The objective is to escape from problems for which we think there is no easy solution.

Another strategy employed is hopping from one job to another. A person’s tenure at each job may be a year or less.

New jobs are sought with the motivation of more pay, promotions, a better boss, nicer coworkers, or improved working conditions.

It’s impossible to outrun recurring problems.

This is because you are the one constant in the equation. That is the reason problems follow you wherever you go.

Then there are those who blame other people or circumstances rather

than looking for answers.

They abdicate responsibility for their lives by making endless excuses for why situations are never their fault.

Yet another scenario is simply giving up; either ignoring a situation or passively waiting for things to improve. People even go so far as pretending a problem doesn’t exist at all.

There is a natural inclination to overly complicate matters, which makes it more difficult to find answers. This approach is self-defeating in that it leads to action inhibiting discouragement.

Step back and honestly assess existing cause and effect connections. What actions have you been taking and what are the

results they have led to?

A change in your behavior is required in order to change the results.

Spend time and effort analyzing a problem. Break it down into manageable components.

Look to identify the root cause of your situation.

Simple solutions are more prevalent than complex ones. Human nature drives us to overlook easy answers that are right in front of us, while we search for involved solutions we think are needed to solve seemingly complex problems.

You have within you the ability to find the answers you need. This process begins with a mindset of, “I can.” It is impossible to accomplish something you don’t believe is do-

able. Next you must engage your willpower by being willing to do whatever it takes. Discard all excuses you have been using.

Now you are ready to formulate a list of possible simple solutions.

Opening your mind to all possibilities helps you to find the answer in front of you. Start with the easiest approach and work your way up from there. Often, the simplest plan is also the most effective. Don’t get caught up in complexities.

For example, suppose you have a friend who is always complaining about an endless litany of problems whenever you get together. Every encounter with them leaves you feeling com-

pletely drained. You can’t change who they are and you can’t solve all of their problems. The simplest solution is to reduce the amount of time you spend with this friend.

The answers you need are closer and simpler than you realize. Stop looking off into the distance. When you look in the mirror, the answers you need are right in front of you. You are the one responsible for your life.

Within you is more ability to solve problems than you have been utilizing.

Jaybird took out ‘disappearing insurance’ Man fires fake

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

After serving in World War II, my father raised cotton on 200 Mississippi Delta acres.

The wealthy doctor who owned the land loaned him enough money to buy a tractor and a cultivator. Singlehandedly and determined, he worked the land, made his first crop, and launched a 50-year farming career.

When a much larger farm came up for sale, the doctor loaned Dad the money to buy it. I was ten years old, and that is when I first met Jaybird, the black man who was to become my mentor and best friend. He managed the field hands for the previous owner, and did the same for my father.

Dad’s first crop on the new land got off to a good start, as did the weeds, and back then they were controlled by hand — not herbicides.

“Jaybird, sharpen this hoe

for my son, take him to the field, and teach him to work,” Dad said, and drove away.

Jaybird looked down at a shy, frail, confused, frightened boy, and said, “Don’t worry, son … most days we’ll work, but some days, why, we’ll just take out some disappearing insurance.” I had no idea what he meant.

Jaybird led by example: He worked sunup to sundown.

Alongside him, I spent many long days chopping weeds out of Dad’s crop.

But when opportunities came, Jaybird fished, hunted, and gardened, making the pendulum of life swing — as it should — from labor to leisure. He wasn’t a workaholic, but knew folks who were … miserable folks.

In time I learned what he meant when he said, “Much of the unhappiness in this old world could be cured if lazy folks would find something to do, and working

folks would find nothing to do.”

For Jaybird, a day off was enough. At sunup, he and I would walk to a nearby creek, plop down under a shady willow tree, and bait our hooks. We might catch a few fish; we might not. We might talk; we might not — no rules were kept, no schedule followed.

Time stood still in what I now remember as a pristine, open-air, chapel, where a congregation of two melded their souls with Mother Nature’s glory.

On such days, one gains a deeper appreciation of the Maker’s craft — dragonflies, hovering motionlessly on invisible wings; garfish, rising to the surface, snapping their toothy jaws; moccasins, creeping sinuously onto overhanging limbs to wait for prey; turtles, queuing up on logs to sun; mussels, inching their fleshy globs in

the shallows, a hawk circling aloft, the ceaseless melody of birds in the trees.

After one of those fishing trips, we returned at sunset, and Dad was waiting.

“Where have you been, boy?

I had to feed the chickens, gather the eggs, and do your other chores.”

I was too frightened to answer, but then I saw a grin crease that big, stern face.

Chuckling, he winked at Jaybird, hugged me, and said, “I know … you and Jaybird took out some disappearing insurance.”

pistol outside famous saloon Associated Press

TOMBSTONE, Ariz. — A man who shot several rounds from a prop gun outside a saloon in the historic Arizona town of Tombstone faces disorderly conduct and other charges.

Tombstone Marshal John Houston says the man was in the Dragoon Saloon early Tuesday when he got into a fight with his girlfriend. He broke a pool cue, then went outside, pulled out a prop 9 mm pistol and began firing into the air.

His friends confronted him, not knowing the gun was fake, and the man stormed off.

Houston says deputy marshals, Cochise County sheriff’s deputies and federal Border Patrol agents tracked down and arrested the man.

Authorities say 30-year-old Monte Ross of Tombstone has been booked into jail on suspicion of aggravated assault and being an ex-convict in possession of a weapon.

Grafton weaves fast-paced mystery in ‘X’

BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

X” by Sue Grafton c.2015, Putnam $28.95 / $34.95 Canada 403 pages The months spent with your ex are better forgotten.

You don’t even like to think about them, in fact, and you rarely discuss them. That’s all in the past now, and best that it stay that way. Or is it? What if lessons learned from your ex back then can save the life of someone today? In the new book “X” by Sue Grafton, recovered memorabilia leads to an eXtra disturbing discovery.

Ruthie Wolinsky was at a total loss.

Recently widowed when her husband was murdered under shady circumstances, Ruthie was trying hard to clean up his paperwork and get rid of junk. She’d hired

someone for the latter, but the former was trickier – made more so by the strange call from the IRS, asking for receipts from fifteen years ago.

Private investigator Kinsey Millhone had once worked with Ruthie’s late husband and though she was no fan of Pete Wolinsky, she adored Ruthie and agreed to help. As she waded through moldering boxes in search of old receipts, Kinsey remembered that Pete had been secretive so she wasn’t surprised to find a hidden envelope and an odd code. Pete had obviously been working on a case that he wanted kept quiet; that intrigued Kinsey, who hated unfinished messes.

What else could she do but complete his case – especially since she’d been stiffed by a client who’d lied to her from the start? The woman said

her name was Hallie Bettancourt and that she was looking for someone she’d put up for adoption years before. Bettancourt had paid in cash, but the $100 bills were counterfeit and so was her name. It hadn’t been a big job, but Kinsey wanted her money.

The code Pete had fashioned was easily broken – Kinsey’s landlord, Henry, loved doing cryptograms – but the names it yielded didn’t make sense. How could a woman long-dead be of any interest to anyone today? And how did Pete end up with a few old pictures and a Bible from a lifetime ago? Better question: why did someone else want them enough to threaten Kinsey on her own turf?

My very first thought while reading “X” came to me long before I’d even reached the middle of the first chapter: there’s a lot of filler in this novel.

Readers – even those starting this series from here (and that’s okay, by the way) - don’t generally need a paragraph on the ingredients in bread or on making coffee.

I point this out because the whodunits you’ll find in this latest installment from author Sue Grafton are classic Millhone, but the padding becomes a distraction after awhile.

I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that those pages could have been more mystery and less mud to slog through.

And then again, you’ve read Grafton’s other twenty-four books (A through W and short stories). Can you stand to miss this one, the thirdfrom-the-presumablylast? No… really, you know you can’t. This is the book mystery fans have been waiting for, and they may otherwise find “X” to be X-cellent.

Katrina-scattered families rebuild separately and together

BY ALLEN G. BREED AP National Writer

HOUSTON — Bunk beds dominate the narrow living room of Chevelle Washington’s modest three-bedroom brick townhouse apartment.

A large box in the corner is piled high with kids’ shoes. The 51-year-old is raising six of her grandchildren. Her home is a refuge, a haven.

It was that way back in her native New Orleans, too — never so much as on Aug. 29, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina struck.

“I had 21 people at my house,” she says of that horrible night. “They came to my house for shelter, because I had an up- and downstairs.”

The water rushing through the city’s breached floodwalls climbed all 17 of those front stairs, stopping just below the porch. It had receded to the 11th step by the following day, when a uniformed man appeared in a motorized flatboat.

As their anonymous savior steered the craft into the lake that the Upper Ninth Ward had become, Washington burst into tears.

“My beautiful house,” she cried. “It ain’t never going to be the same no more.”

Her youngest son, Steven, remembers how the man at the helm tried to comfort his mother.

“You’re moving on to something better,” he said.

An estimated 1.5 million Gulf Coast residents fled Katrina, scattering like wind-tossed seeds to all 50 states. Many thousands of them, like Chevelle Washington, have taken root where they landed.

A decade after the storm, she cannot quite bring herself to call Houston “home.” Still, with two sisters living just a couple of miles away, and the occasional New Orleans-style “po boy” from her resettled brother’s nearby sandwich shop, it’s as close to it as she can imagine.

But for son Steven, the pull of home, of New Orleans, was too strong.

A few months after Katrina, he returned to his ruined city, hoping to recapture that sense of belonging he couldn’t find in Texas.

Standing on that 11th step recently, his mind wandered back to the day he and his family climbed into that boat. He was never really sure what the man meant by “something better.” A short-

term shelter? A bigger house? A safer city?

Like so many families splintered by the storm, the Washingtons are still searching.

“Every now and then, you think about going home” Linda Nellum Katrina-displaced Texas resident

■■■

The storm did not “drown” New Orleans.

But there’s no denying it is a changed city.

Although today’s population of 384,000 represents about 84 percent of the pre-Katrina level, many of those residents are new.

Then-Mayor Ray Nagin famously vowed that New Orleans would once again be the “chocolate city” it had been before the storm. Convicted of corruption, Nagin now sits in a federal prison cell; his city’s complexion is a bit milkier than he’d hoped.

The black population has dropped from nearly 67 percent in 2000 to 59 percent today; whites, once about one-quarter of residents, now account for nearly a third.

This is “the new New Orleans,” says University of South Carolina psychologist Lynn Weber.

“The people who have not returned have been disproportionately African-American, renters, low-income, single mothers and persons with disabilities,” says Lori Peek, an associate professor of sociology at Colorado State University and coeditor, with Weber, of the book, “Displaced: Life in the Katrina Diaspora.”

Since the storm, rents in the Crescent City have skyrocketed — up 33 percent for a one-bedroom apartment and 41 percent for a two-bedroom.

Following Katrina, officials demolished four of the city’s notorious projects, vowing to replace them with modern, mixed-income developments. Despite much progress, there are still about 3,200 fewer lowincome, public housing apartments than before the storm, and more than half of the completed units are priced too high for pre-Katrina occupants, says Bill Quigley, director of the Gillis Long Poverty Law Center at the city’s Loyola University.

Most of those residents were black.

One was Linda Nellum.

Revitalization had already pushed Nellum out of the murder-plagued Magnolia projects. Living in temporary Section 8 housing when Katrina hit, Nellum was evacuated to Houston.

From Texas, she applied for return and was put on a waiting list. She’s

still waiting.

“Every now and then, you think about going home,” the 43-year-old says, a tear trickling down her cheek. She feels “trapped” in Houston.

Mtangulizi Sanyika has chosen not to see it that way. When the Dillard University professor and his wife boarded up their home in New Orleans East and climbed into their crammed car, he assumed he’d be back in three days.

“A three-day odyssey has become 10 years,” he says.

The city of Houston offered the couple free housing for a year.

Around the time that was set to expire, Sanyika’s wife found a great job.

Now 72, Sanyika is at the age where he is increasingly dependent on the health care system, which he believes is better in Houston.

“I’ve not given up the thought of perhaps one day going back, but right now, that’s not pragmatic,” he says. “But do I feel like I’m in exile? No.” When the floodwaters had been drained, community organizer Barbara Major located buses to bring displaced black residents back to New Orleans. She says the city and state have made it difficult for many to return.

“Everything demonstrates that you’re not welcome here anymore,” says Major, who says her own insurance has ballooned. “The people who were here pre-Katrina have been invisibilized.”

Earlier this month, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu traveled to Atlanta and then Houston — to thank the people “for their generosity and open arms,” but also to encourage members of his city’s diaspora to “come back home.”

Chevelle Washington says the New Orleans she knew no longer exists.

■■■

Growing up, sisters Chevelle and Champernell Washington never saw any reason to fear the landscape around them.

And later, Chevelle’s home on Lesseps Street was near one of the many pumping stations built to handle any storm water that got through or over the levees.

“We never ran nowhere,” she says. “Cover up the windows. Cover up the mirrors. And we just ride ‘em out.”

But there was something different about that mid-summer’s day 10 years ago, says Champernell.

“You could just about smell it in the air,” she says. “You knew that you would have to brace for something.”

Chevelle, recovering from gallbladder surgery days earlier, couldn’t sleep as the house shook and rain pelted the windows.

Finally, when the skies began to clear, she thought all was well — until she opened the door to the garage below. A refrigerator and her grandson’s basinet swirled up toward her, “like trying to see who was going to get up the stairs first.”

Steven, then 16, waded down the front steps and stared as shrimp and crawfish skipped past. Later, he and older brother, Jeffery, swam to a nearby store, returning with a cooler full of soda, potato chips and bread.

When the rescue boat arrived the next day, Chevelle Washington was reluctant to get in, not wanting to split up the family. Her children convinced her to go. Her sister and others would later be picked up by helicopters.

The boatman dropped them on a nearby street where, hours later, a military truck took them to the Superdome.

The Washingtons managed to find space in the hometown Saints’ end zone. Steven says he was standing beside the goalpost the next day when he was nearly trampled by armed soldiers in pursuit of a fleeing man. Surely, this dangerous, leakyroofed open latrine was not the “something better” they’d been promised.

After a few days, the refugee family escaped New Orleans. They were all soon reunited in Atlanta — but not to stay.

Champernell had once lived in Houston. She’d loved the schools there, and there always seemed to be plenty of work.

And so, she, Chevelle and other family members resettled in Texas.

■■■

In southwest Houston, far from Galveston Bay and flood-prone Buffalo Bayou, the Washington clan has created a little slice of New Orleans.

Chevelle, raising the grandchildren, lives just a couple of miles from Champernell and her two girls. About a 10-minute drive east, in a strip mall, brother Rene’s restaurant, Sleepy’s Po Boys, offers fellow Katrina refugees a taste of home, right down to the French loaves from Leidenheimer’s Bakery in New Orleans.

On a recent blistering hot day as the kids watched TV inside, the sisters sipped ice water in the shade of Champernell’s patio and took stock.

Each has been back to New Orleans numerous times. Despite obvious progress, “It’s still that sense of death in the air,” said Champernell, 45, night manager at a hotel.

“Everything is just scattered, you know?”

Chevelle talked of a friend who moved her family back — only to have three of her boys killed in a drive-by shooting, victims of apparent mistaken identity.

“I’m raising six — four boys and two girls,” said the former hotel maid, who now makes do largely on disability benefits for one of the children. “I’m not ready to bury none of my kids.”

Much as she loves her hometown, it’s not worth the risk. Besides, it’s not the same city.

“It would never be home again,” she said as he sister nodded. “The way they’re rebuilding it, they’re trying to rebuild it to something else.”

Other transplants have reached the same conclusion — including Christine Slack, waiting on a bench one recent sultry night for the Megabus’ midnight run to New Orleans.

For many of the displaced, the five-times daily route has become a lifeline. (Sanyika, the retired professor, credits Megabus with allowing him to maintain his status as what he calls “a Houstorleanian.”)

But this night, Slack is making the journey to settle her affairs in New Orleans so she can leave for good.

The 51-year-old evacuated to Arkansas, but returned to the city in February 2006. She sensed then that the “Mardi Gras City” would never be the same, but a sick mother

and daughter kept her there. Now that both have passed, Slack is moving to Houston to be near her other daughter.

Her old city is for tourists and the wealthy, not the elderly or infirm or poor, she said. “New Orleans got washed away.”

Cane in hand, Slack climbed aboard the double-decker and settled in for the ride. As usual, every seat was filled.

Six hours later, the bus rolled past the Superdome and the rows of massive steel pipes built to suck floodwaters from the low-lying city. Just before dawn, the driver opened the doors on Elysian Fields Avenue.

A couple of miles away, in a one-story apartment complex halfway between Treasure and Abundance streets, Chevelle Washington’s son Steven is about to wake to another day in the Big Easy.

■■■

It’s not that life in Houston was horrible, Steven says.

His new high school made room on the football team for the running back from New Orleans.

But off the field, it seemed he was forever trying to dodge tensions — like the taunt “N-O!” that the Houston kids would shout whenever New Orleans refugees passed in the hallways. Bottom line, he was homesick.

“I just couldn’t really do Houston,” he says.

After an uncle moved back to New Orleans to supervise cleanup crews for the Army Corps of Engineers, Steven joined him. They lived in Algiers, across the river. Steven ended up in a different school from the one he’d left.

“It was a ghost town,” he says.

After graduation, he found jobs — from meat counter employee to security guard.

Like his Uncle “Sleepy,” he’s also worked in the city’s vibrant restaurant industry. He’s currently a prep cook at a French Quarter restaurant.

He says his mom and Auntie Champernell are judging things by what they see during brief visits and on the news. Living it every day has given him a different perspective.

Yes, there are a lot of killings. Most of the time, he says, the name or face is familiar to him. Just as often, he thinks the victim contributed to his own demise.

He tries to do as he did in Houston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; avoid trouble. He plays basketball on the blacktop court behind Franklin Avenue Baptist Church,

and works out at Planet Fitness.

At 26, he still nurses an old dream â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of playing professional football. He reminds a visitor that Michael Lewis was a couple of years older and driving a beer truck when the Saints gave him a shot.

But 10 years after climbing into that boat, he admits that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not satisfied with where he is

in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just making it,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And just trying to hang in there.â&#x20AC;?

While working at the meat counter, he met Sidreaka Bell, a fellow returnee. Last year, they had a baby girl, Myâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;chel Marie. Steven sent her to live with his mother in Houston.

Where will he end up himself?

Between shifts, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found time to take computer and business courses at Southern University New Orleans. His uncle has been talking about expanding the business, and Steven thinks he could run a restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe even open one of his own. He talks of buying a cheap, storm-damaged house and fixing it up. Not for himself, but as

a rental.

More and more, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to leave New Orleans. During a visit to Miami, far from the safest city, he marveled at how peaceful it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too many of the wrong young people are coming back,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Recently, Steven went back to the old duplex on Lesseps. It was only

the second time since the storm. The new occupants have enclosed the garage. But the steps and porch still bear the marks of water damage.

Steven says he has no regrets about coming back to New Orleans. His advice to other young people: Unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re returning for a good job or to study, stay where you are.

Engagement

Letterman grieves racing deaths

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

Allison Elizabeth McCarver, Ben Griffin Long

McCarver—Long Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ross McCarver announce the engagement of their daughter, Allison Elizabeth McCarver, to Ben Griffin Long, son of Mr. and Mrs. Randall Griffin Long of Corinth.

The bride-elect is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wallace Cox of Philadelphia, Miss., and the late Mr. Bill McCarver of Tupelo.

The prospective bridegroom is the grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Erst Long Jr. of Corinth, and Mr. and Mrs. David M. Palmer, and the late Grizelda Green Palmer of Corinth.

Miss McCarver is a 2009 graduate of Brandon High School and graduated cum laude from Mississippi State University with a bachelor’s degree

in education in 2013. At Mississippi State, she was an active member of Delta Gamma Sorority. After graduation, she taught at Brandon Middle School and coached soccer for the Brandon High School Lady Bulldogs soccer team.

Mr. Long graduated with honors from Corinth High School in 2008. At the University of Mississippi, he was active in the Sigma Chi fraternity, and received his bachelor’s degree in English from the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College in 2012. He is currently in his final year of medical school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Miss.

The couple will exchange vows Oct. 31 at the First Baptist Church in Brandon, Miss.

Crossword

SONOMA, Calif. — This kind of list makes David Letterman sick to his stomach and question his love of auto racing.

The retired late-night comedian and IndyCar team co-owner rattled off a number racing deaths — Justin Wilson, Dan Wheldon, Paul Dana, Dale Earnhardt, Ayrton Senna, sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. — and wondered if “maybe we’ve reached diminishing returns at making this sport safer.”

Letterman expressed his grief in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from his Montana ranch. He spoke just two days after Wilson died from a head injury suffered Sunday when he was struck by a piece of debris at Pocono Raceway.

“It’s just like, ‘Whoa, is this really the sport that you can embrace entirely?’ I don’t know. It’s a real self-examination,” Letterman said.

Letterman is part owner of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and the team goes into Sunday’s season finale at Sonoma Raceway thick in the championship hunt. Graham Rahal trails leader Juan Pablo Montoya by 34 points in an event that will count for double points in the standings.

Rahal was just nine points out headed into last weekend’s race at Pocono, but he was wrecked by Tristan Vautier midway through the race. The incident with

“When you see a kid get killed doing this, it’s a tap on the shoulder of, ‘I don’t know. I don’t know if we are supposed to be enjoying this or not.’ Not many people are getting killed in volleyball.”

David Letterman Retired late-night comedian and IndyCar team co-owner Wilson occurred long after Rahal had exited the race, when debris from Sage Karam’s single-car spin flew into Wilson’s open cockpit and struck him in the head. In a coma and critical condition, the 37-year-old Wilson died little more than 24 hours later. He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters.

“I talked to a lot of people about this: Racing is fun, but people are not supposed to get killed,” Letterman said. “I am brokenhearted for his family, for his kids, and everybody says, ‘Well, this is what the guy wanted to do.’ And of course, that’s the case.

“But we’re not supposed to have people die in the middle of this competition. I think he has two children, and that just breaks my heart, that dad loves driving race cars.”

Letterman’s voice was emotional and it was clear he’s put much thought into justifying his love of racing against his personal struggles with the risks involved.. Improvements were made following Dan Wheldon’s death in the 2011 season

finale in Las Vegas. The two-time Indianapolis 500 champion died almost instantly when his car went airborne and his head slammed into a post in the fence.

The car driven now in IndyCar was introduced immediately after Wheldon’s death and Dallara called it the DW12 for the development work Wheldon had provided.

Wilson’s death was the first fatality in IndyCar since then, and it was almost a fluke accident in that the nosecone from Karam’s car bounced down the track and into Wilson’s cockpit as he was the 12th driver to pass through the crash scene.

“I’ve done quite a lot of thought, and statistically, I suppose people will tell us racing has never been safer, and maybe that’s the case,” Letterman said. “And it seems like always enough time goes by between episodes, tragedies like this, where you are lulled into thinking that, ‘OK, well, that’s not going to happen again.’

“And then it happens again. It just makes you sick to your stomach.”

IndyCar is honoring Wilson this weekend, beginning Thursday when Marco Andretti was scheduled to drive Wilson’s car across the Golden Gate Bridge. James Hinchcliffe, who has been sidelined since his own life-threatening accident in May during preparations for the Indianapolis 500, was scheduled to drive IndyCar’s two-seater with the championship trophy in the car.

Letterman remains excited for Rahal’s prospects on Sunday, but his emotions are tempered by the loss of another driver. He said he struggled this week reconciling the good and the bad of auto racing.

“What other sport do you have these two diametric circumstances: One, the possibility of this kid winning his first championship, and then also in the same week you have a guy who dies.

I don’t know how to reconcile it, I just don’t,” he said.

“When you see a race and you see people drive these cars with such precision, what they are able to achieve and what they are able to control, it’s like watching ballet.

What they are able to do with these high-horsepower automobiles, it’s like watching the Blue Angels or something,” Letterman said. “That’s the thrill of it. So when you see a kid get killed doing this, it’s a tap on the shoulder of, ‘I don’t know. I don’t know if we are supposed to be enjoying this or not.’ Not many people are getting killed in volleyball.”

Country music provocateurs Maddie & Tae make a splash

BY KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The country duo Maddie & Tae took on gender stereotypes in their first platinum single, “Girl in a Country Song,” and now they are targeting another overused effect in today’s country music: electronic drum machines.

“Fake drums,” said Maddie Marlow, clenching her fists in mock anger.

“I hate the fake drums.

Those need to go away!”

Country music’s young provocateurs came out swinging last summer with their on-point criticism of lyrics that portrayed women as simply objects of desire in cutoff jean shorts and bikini tops. Now that they’ve got everyone’s attention, Marlow, 20, and Tay-

lor “Tae” Dye, 19, have got much more to say on their debut album, “Start Here,” released Friday.

The two songwriters from Texas and Oklahoma met at age 15 and found inspiration in the other female artists known for starting trouble in country music, the Dixie Chicks.

But they never expected “Girl in a Country Song” to ever get played on radio, much less make them the first female duo to have a Top 10 country song since 2007.

Country star Dierks Bentley first heard of the duo on “Girl in a Country Song,” but it was their live show that convinced him to give them an opening slot on his Sounds of Summer tour along with Kip Moore and Canaan Smith.

“There aren’t too many female duos out there like Maddie & Tae, so I think they are really refreshing and intriguing for my audience,” Bentley said via email.

Their debut album has plenty of witty moments, like their biting sendup of a mean girl on “Sierra,” and a warning to an ex to stay away on “Your Side of Town.” But they also amp up the emotion with their layered vocals on “After the Storm Blows Through.”

While their youthful exuberance comes across as raw and unfiltered, their passion for the music is clear.

“Every song means something,” Marlow said.

“Every song tells one of our stories, or a story together.”

Duggar enters in rehab after revelations Associated Press

NEW YORK — Days after he confessed to cheating on his wife and an addiction to pornography, Josh Duggar entered rehab.

The ex-reality star checked himself into a long-term treatment center, according to his parents, Jim Bob and Mi-

chelle Duggar.

Their announcement on the family’s website did not specify the nature or duration of treatment, nor did it identify the facility.

But the statement spoke of “a long journey toward wholeness and recovery.”

“We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere

Cryptoquip

change,” his parents said, adding they are “deeply grieved” by his actions, which have “brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear.”

The couple also said Josh’s wife, Anna, with whom he has four children, is receiving “counsel and help for her own heart and future.”
