The Corinth School District will see a state funding increase for the 2012-2013 school year. Superintendent Lee Childress said the district received information about the Mississippi Adequate Education Program appropriation for the next year indicating the district will receive $9.841 million, an 8 percent increase from the current year. “Even though the legislature did not fully fund it, we fared fairly well for this next year,” said Childress.
Part of the increase resulted from the state funding part of the increase in the retirement contribution that schools begin paying on July 1. “However, most of the increase that we got was a result of our increased enrollment,” said Childress. The district will see a slight increase in buildings and bus funds and education enhancement funds. The ad valorem reduction allocation has been phased out; it was only about $13,000 for the current year. Average daily attendance Please see FUNDING | 2
Kossuth FFA Barnyard offers Corinth moves forward students hands-on ag experience with market shed plans BY STEVE BEAVERS
sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
KOSSUTH — Young students got to handle agriculture. Kossuth Elementary students were given a tour by the high school FFA Chapter during its annual Barnyard on Wednesday. “We want everyone to appreciate agriculture more,” said FFA instructor Brad Gillmore. “I think of this as a community service and hopefully some of these kids will one day become
FFA members.” The visit -- for those in kindergarten through fourth grade -- also is beneficial to FFA members, according to chapter president-elect Keri Crum. “It helps being able to speak in front of the children,” said Crum. “We also learn from reading the things that we have to read to them.” The classes were able to get an up close feel for several animals. A beagle puppy, rabbit, miniature ponies, donkeys,
sheep and small chicks were some of the animals kids got to pet. “I like seeing their eyes light up when they see the animals,” added Crum. Students were also given the experience of milking the FFA’s portable dairy cow. “It’s important for them to get involved in FFA,” said the chapter president. “Today they got to see the fun part and maybe that hooks them on agriculture.”

The Corinth Board of Aldermen on Tuesday gave approval for planning to move forward for construction of a covered farmer’s market shed on city property. It is planned to be on the city-owned lot at Fulton Drive and Tate Street, which has been serving as a farmer’s market location for the last few years. The board’s action
will allow those planning the project to get construction bids. “The building will be wood construction with some color to be determined later and metal siding and metal roof covering,” said Building Inspector Philip Verdung, who is working on the plans with a committee of growers representing the Fulton Drive Please see SHED | 2
Glen celebrates Main Street earns national designation with Heritage Day BY BOBBY J. SMITH

Corinth is one of 42 Mississippi Main Street Communities recently designated as accredited National Main Street Programs. “This is a great honor for Main Street to get this,” said John Orman, president of Main Street Corinth. “It shows we’re doing the right thing, trying to get things in place for when the economy rebounds.” A community earns the accreditation by meeting the commercial district revitalization standards set by the National Trust Main Street Center. “Receiving National Main Street

This weekend everyone is invited to celebrate the establishment of the Glen community — while raising money for a good cause. The Ninth Annual Glen Heritage Day will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Glen Volunteer Fire Department/City Hall. All proceeds will benefit the Glen Volunteer Fire Department. “It’s just a really good time for people to sit around and enjoy each others’ company, and for the kids to play in a safe environment,” said Deputy Fire Chief John Beavers. Heritage Day will feature a display of antique tractors and performances by area singers. Many activities are lined up for kids, including inflatables and the Air Evac helicopter. “The kids always really enjoy watching the helicopter,” said Beavers. Members of the Glen Volunteer Fire Department will cook hamburgers and hotdogs as a way to raise money for the fire department’s operations. T-shirts will also be available for a minimum donation of $20 to the fire department. Glen Mayor John Little said the event is a fundraiser and an opportunity for the town to come together, visit and enjoy good food and entertainment. It also gives Glen residents a chance to see some of the new developments at Town Hall, including the new tornado shelter. Heritage Day is truly a community effort. “If not for the combined efforts of the town and fire department this production would not be possible,” Beavers said. Sponsors for the Glen Heritage Day include Mississippi 811, Coca-Cola, Kingsford and more.

While local schools have many safeguards in place to protect children from the dangers of the Internet, they must soon do more to educate students about the hazards. The city and county school districts are both preparing to meet new requirements of the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) in order to continue to be eligible for funding through the E-rate program, which helps schools pay for communications technology. “It brings about a little bit more of an education requirement,” said Corinth Superintendent Lee Chil-

accreditation is a prestigious designation and we congratulate each of these communities for its achievements,” said Bob Wilson, executive director of the Mississippi Main Street Association. “Our Main Street programs in Mississippi play a strategic role in stimulating economic development in our state.” Accredited communities will be honored at the 2012 Annual Awards Luncheon at the Old Capitol Inn in Jackson. Doug Loescher, director of the National Trust Main Street Center, congratulated this year’s nationally accredited Main Street programs for meeting the center’s established per-
dress. “In addition to having the policy, we will provide them with training on things such as cyberbullying.” The new policy will be presented to the Corinth School District Board of Trustees in June. The new curriculum must be in place for the 20122013 school year. The Alcorn School District had a required public hearing regarding the Internet policy this week. Technology Coordinator Helen Isbell said the district has rigorous safeguards in place, including three levels of filtering to prevent students from viewing sites that may contain obscene or harmful material. The
district closely monitors student activity on the Internet and runs reports to check for suspicious activity, she said. CIPA, which was enacted in 2001, requires schools and libraries to have a policy addressing access by minors to inappropriate material on the Internet; the safety of minors when using e-mail, chat rooms and other forms of direct electronic communication; hacking and other unlawful activities; and unauthorized use of personal information regarding minors. The Corinth School District’s public hearing on CIPA is set for 5 p.m. May 24.

MCHS senior leaves legacy with band mural BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
An artist with either a paint brush or a saxophone in her hands has allowed one McNairy Central High School senior to leave her own legacy as she is about to graduate from high school. Molly Weatherford has completed painting a 53foot long trailer with a mural of scenery of Don Whitaker Stadium and three band members for her senior project. McNairy Central seniors must complete a senior project as part of their graduation requirements. The trailer serves as a storage area for the MCHS band where they keep the props for their field show. Weatherford has played tenor saxophone in the band for the past four years. She begins college at Austin Peay State University in the fall. She will major in art. “Molly has a bright future and will do great things in her life,” said MCHS band director Ryan Foret. “Her painting is another way she has contributed to our band

side and she accepted the request. “It was an opportunity I could not pass up,” she said. “I was never a section leader in the band
and I knew this was a way I could give something back to the band.” Weatherford began the project in July and normally spent two hours at

a time painting the trailer. She estimates it took 48 hours to complete the painting. Through the encouragement of her mother,
Wendy Weatherford, and her classmates, the artist managed to keep going even when frustration began to bother her. “It would get frustrating at times when rain washed away what I had just painted,” said Molly. “When I got back and my painting was gone, I would want to quit. My friends were excited about it and that kept me painting.” She painted images of drum major Emily Harris, brass captain Brandon Stricklin and drum line captain Jerry Emmons to represent the senior class. “Molly is an unique student with amazing talents,” said MCHS English teacher Vicki Flowers. “The band is a family and she has created some great memories with this painting.” Her project mentor was Brian Tull, who painted the Rockabilly Mural on a wall in downtown Selmer. He showed her how to get started and answered her questions by e-mail. The only personal sign Molly left on her masterpiece was a small MW and Class of ’12 in the right corner.

numbers in October and November are used to determine funding. The district encourages students to make an extra effort not to be absent during those months. Just a 1 percent bump can make a big difference in funding, he said. The district has seen steady enrollment increases in recent years. In other business before the Corinth School District Board of Trustees on Monday: ■ Childress notified the board that the district recently launched an online lunch pre-payment system that allows parents to deposit funds that their children access to pay for lunch by entering their identification number. It is not a requirement but can increase privacy for children who receive free or reduced lunches, he said. ■ The board learned that Cambridge examination results will be received in August. The district plans to get feedback from students and teachers on the testing process to determine if any changes need to be made.

In addition to Corinth, the other Mississippi communities which received the designation are: Aberdeen, Amory, Baldwyn, Batesville, Bay St. Louis/Waveland, Biloxi, Canton, Carthage, Cleveland, Clinton, Colombia, Columbus, Greenville, Greenwood, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Hernando, Holly Springs, Houston, Indianola, Belhaven, Kosciusko, Laurel, Louisville/ Noxapater, McComb, Meridian, Moss Point, New Albany, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula, Philadelphia, Picayune, Pontotoc, Ripley, Senatobia, Tunica, Tupelo, Vicksburg, Water Valley, West Point and Woodville.
farmer’s market. The shed will have a gravel base and will be surrounded by a gravel drive. “The reason for the gravel is to keep the heat down,” said Verdung. “We will have people out there a good portion of the day in the summertime with the sun beating down, and asphalt would be really, really hot.” The county plans to fund the shed, and a lease agreement between the parties is forthcoming. The corner property across from the playhouse also houses the city recycling bin. The land is within a flood plain, which limits its possibility for development. “This is actually an ideal structure to do in the flood plain because it’s all open,” the building inspector said. “It’s not going to impede the flow of water.” In other business: ■ The board acted on three appointments to boards and commissions. Aldermen appointed Anthony Marshall to the park commis-

Mississippi should totally ban texting while driving A car moving 60 mph will go more than the length of a football field in the five seconds a driver looks down to send a text or dial a phone number. That driver is more than 20 times likely to have an accident than a nontexting driver. Thirty-eight states now ban texting while driving. Alabama just joined the list. Mississippi should join that group. In Mississippi the only drivers prohibited from texting while driving are those with a learner’s permit or behind the wheel of a school bus. According to a website on the subject (textinganddrivingfacts.com) one out of every five car accidents by teen drivers is a result of texting and driving. That percentage is expected to grow. We’re not surprised. Next time you’re waiting at a stop light, look around at your fellow drivers. Chances are more of them will be engaged with their cellphones than not. Fifty-seven percent of teens say their cellphones and texting are a vital part of their social life. According to a website on the subject, simply muting the sound of a cellphone can reduce the risk of an accident by 50 percent. Ten states require a hands-free device be used while driving and talking on a cellphone. We’d like to see that number grow, too. Alabama Republican Rep. Jim McClendon worked six years on the bill banning texting while driving before it won legislative approval. “There’s no question we are going to save lives,” McClendon said. When questioned why it took so long to get the legislation passed, McClendon replied, “One step at a time. Alabama is a little different let’s face it. This is not New York. This is not California. There are folks who feel like we may be infringing on their freedoms as citizens,” he said. Distracted drivers infringe on the freedoms (and lives) of innocent people, the very people laws are meant to protect. We would like to see one of our legislators take up this worthy cause. —The Commercial Dispatch, Columbus

Education,economic development are intertwined CLEVELAND — At his speech here to the movers and shakers in the Mississippi Delta’s business, agricultural, educational and political circles, Gov. Phil Bryant’s remarks were met with more than polite applause. Bryant, the mechanic’s son from Moorhead, understands the Delta region’s challenges as lessons from his boyhood. Bryant told the audience at the Delta Council’s 77th annual meeting that he understood the interrelationship of higher education and agribusiness in that region. Bryant said: “As always, I am mindful of the impact that agriculture has on the economy of the Mississippi Delta. It is big business, and economists at Mississippi State University estimate that the activities associated with production agriculture in the Delta account for more than 1.5 billion dollars of annual income and employ more than 55 thousand people. We should support this industry, not only by treating it like the major employer that it is, but also by creating a minimal regulatory environment.” The governor likewise praised the role Delta State
University has played in the pursuit of the establishment of the Mississippi Sid Salter Delta National HeriColumnist tage Area and the Mississippi Grammy Museum -- both viable tourism alternatives for a Delta region that has natural resources, culture and music that people already visit from around the globe. Bryant said: “It is my hope that more and more often, local efforts like these, partnered with state level efforts like those my Mississippi Works agenda, will yield an economy that is ripe for expansion and a workforce that is prepared to embrace new opportunities.” But higher education and economic development efforts alike will over the next fiscal year face some significant constraints based on the inability of the Legislature to reach agreement on a bond bill for fiscal year that begins July 1. The House handed the Senate a $250 million bond bill. The Senate countered with a $120 million package that
was actually $73M in bonds and $50M in appropriations. The bond bills were proposed as the state was set to retire $284 million in existing bonds, but with another $1.2 billion in existing bonding authority authorized by the Legislature but not yet issued by the state. The House leadership said they believed that the bonded expenditures, particularly in higher education, were justified, and that they demonstrated fiscal responsibility by being careful to issue less new debt than was being retired. House leaders also cited historically low interest rates as evidence that long term investment in the state’s infrastructure was not only justified but prudent. Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves argued that the state needed to be weaned from new annual outlays of bonded indebtedness and to begin to retire the state’s existing $4.1 billion in total longterm debt to reduce what he said was $450 million in annual state debt service payments. In the end, the bond bill died at that political impasse. Major projects like a library expansion at
Mississippi University for Women, construction of a new School of Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and the School of Nursing at the University of Southern Mississippi were contained in the failed bond request from higher education in the state. As a result, tuition costs could rise an average of 14 percent across the board over the next two years. In 2000, 37 percent of higher education funding came from the state and 32 percent from tuition. In 2012, 37 percent of funding comes from the state and 57 percent from tuition. Those ratios have consequences in terms of access to higher education in the poorest state in the union. The failure of the bond bill was one of three major disagreements between the new Republican leadership troika of Bryant, Reeves and House Speaker Philip Gunn. Is there a special session in the state’s future over the bond bill issue? Watch and wait. (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
Our ruinous national pastime called ‘football’ The apparent suicide of Junior Seau, the former NFL superstar linebacker, has again raised the age-old question: “Is playing football dangerous, as in potentially lethal?” Let me think about that. You’ve got a sport where 240-pound people are paid to run into other 240-pound people while 320-pound people try to stop them. Occasionally, as we’ve recently learned, they get paid to knock opposing players from the game by injuring them. Gee, I don’t know. What could be dangerous about that? Come on, let’s get real. Of course football is dangerous, and its cumulative effects are often ruinous. Seau’s death is merely another stone on the growing pile of evidence that football is not only bad for the knees and back; it also destroys the brain. His suicide follows close on the heels of two similar suicides by former pro football players, Ray Easterling and Dave Duerson. Both of them, like Seau, had played with abandon, recklessly sacrificing their bodies (and heads) for the glory of vic-

tory. And, like Seau, they had suffered multiple concussions during their Donald long caKaul reers. Easterling, the Other Words oldest of them, had been diagnosed with dementia not long before his death. Amazingly enough, researchers only recently began connecting the mental deterioration of aging former football players to the concussions they suffered while playing the game. This is partly due to the cavalier attitude taken toward concussions by the football culture. Players who were knocked semiconscious during a game were said to have had “their bell rung” and were sent back into games at the earliest possible moment. That’s no longer the case. A series of lawsuits filed by players seeking damages for the head injuries they suffered in the service of an uncaring management has made the NFL take the problem of concussions seriously.
Not so the fans. Football fans, particularly fans of professional football, are a bloodthirsty breed. They take great delight in seeing bone-shattering collisions and hold in high regard players who can best deliver them. They have a high tolerance for pain — in others — and show little sympathy for the plight of the players who now are seeking redress for their injuries. Lem Barney, one of the best players in the 1960s, now says he wished he’d never played football. “Never. Never,” the former defensive back told The Detroit Free Press in March. Nor would he allow his sons to play. “It would be golf or tennis,” he said. The e-mails that came flooding into the newspaper in response were stunning. They accused Barney of being a wuss, a hypocrite, a lowlife. “He chose to play the game. He knew what the risks were,” seemed to be the general theme. Actually, he didn’t, not really. The risks of football have been masked by a conspiracy of silence involving management, players, and fans. Malcolm Gladwell, the

author of bestselling books like “Blink,” “Outliers,” and “The Tipping Point,” has studied the research for several years. He’s convinced that college football should be banned. Failing that, the players should be paid. “It’s a bit much both to maim and exploit college football players.” “Remember, the issue isn’t concussions. It is ‘repetitive subconcussive impact,’” he told Slate. “It is the cumulative effect of thousands of little hits that linemen and defensive backs … endure play after play.” But die-hard fans will argue that there’s no real proof that Seau’s concussions caused his suicide, or Duerson’s or Easterling’s either. And they rail at the “overreaction” of the NFL commissioner in penalizing the New Orleans Saints for offering “bounties” on opposing players, awarding thousands to the player who could injure a given opponent. “It’s part of the game,” they chant in unison. As indeed it is. (OtherWords columnist Donald Kaul lives in Ann Arbor, Mich. otherwords. org)

State Caution urged during search for highway killer BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press
JACKSON — As they search for suspects in two highway killings, authorities in northwest Mississippi are urging drivers to use caution when approached by any vehicle with flashing blue lights. Investigators said Monday that two people shot along highways may have been killed by someone who posed as a police officer and pulled them over late at night. DeSoto County Sheriff Bill Rasco says efforts are focused on keeping motorists safe while investigators chase leads that are pouring in. He said many tips involve suspicious vehicles. So far there have been no arrests. Rasco says motorists can call 911 if they are being pulled over. He said agencies can quickly determine whether they have vehicles in the area and dispatch help if needed. “We are telling motorists to be aware of everything around them and any time they are being pulled over to go to a safe location where there are lots of lights and where people are around, if possible, and always call 911,” Rasco said Wednesday. “Our unmarked vehicles also are not doing any traffic stops. If they spot a vehicle that needs to be stopped they will call in and we’ll send a marked vehicle. We have extra patrols out to keep our citizens safe,” the sheriff said. The assistant manager of a truck stop along the interstate where one vic-
tim was found said the shootings have been a topic of discussion among the employees — many of whom must drive the stretch of highway to get home. “Myself and a couple of other female employees here are concerned, especially for those getting off a night and driving home,” Sunny Hall said. Hall, 28, said few customers coming through the Kangaroo Express on Interstate 55 in Senatobia, Miss., discuss the shootings unless someone brings it up. Then talk
turns to the precautions that law enforcement is asking people to take. The business is located about 15 miles south of where one of the shootings occurred. Rasco and Highway Patrol spokesman Warren Strain say law enforcement agencies are not looking for any particular make of vehicle even though many tips have centered on the Ford Crown Victoria, the workhorse of law enforcement. Investigators say they are looking into whether someone posing as a

law enforcement officer stopped the cars because of the circumstances of the killings, though they have no evidence to back that theory up. “There are only two people who could tell us about that and unfortunately, we cannot talk to them,” Rasco said. Strain said the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is processing evidence. “We have gotten hundreds of calls and each one has to get its due attention as you would expect,” Strain said.
Investigators were not releasing many details, including whether they believe a single gunman is responsible or what type of weapon was used. They said at a press conference Monday that the shootings so far are linked by their general similarity — both victims were found shot to death after pulling their cars off the road late at night. Shell casings found at both scenes are being analyzed. Thomas Schlender, 74, of Raymond, Neb., was found in his car on Interstate 55 in Panola County
on May 8 about 1:30 a.m. Three days later, Lori Anne Carswell, 48, of Hernando, was found near her car on Mississippi Highway 713 in nearby Tunica County about 2:15 a.m. Carswell had just left work from Fitzgerald’s Casino in Tunica County, authorities said. The interstate is more heavily traveled than the state highway where Carswell was found, but neither area is heavily populated. Neither car appeared to have had mechanical problems, said Strain.

Lower oil prices ease consumer load
Defense rests without calling mistress
NEW YORK (AP) — A threat that’s been hanging over the economy is starting to look a lot less menacing. Oil and gasoline prices are sinking, giving relief to businesses and consumers who a few weeks ago seemed about to face the highest fuel prices ever. President Barack Obama’s re-election prospects could also benefit, especially if prices keep falling as some analysts expect. A majority of Americans disapproved of Obama’s handling of gas prices in an AP-GfK poll early this month. But that was before the full effect of the recent drop had reached drivers. The average U.S. retail gasoline price has dropped 21 cents a gallon to $3.73 since hitting a 2012 peak of $3.94 on April 6. The economy could gain, too. Consumers who spend less on fuel have more to spend on other purchases, from autos and furniture to appliances and vacations, that could help drive economic output and job growth. The price drop will likely boost consumer confidence. It also comes at a timely moment: Ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, a busy one for travel and entertainment spending. “It’s extra money in the wallets of most American consumers, and that’s going to help,” said James Hamilton, an economist at the University of California, San Diego who studies oil prices. Lower oil prices also mean cheaper diesel and jet fuel for shippers and airlines. Crude oil, which is used to make gasoline, is at a seven-month low of $92.81 a barrel. It’s down nearly 13 percent since May 1. Behind the steady drop are larger fuel stockpiles, easing fears about Iran and expectations of lower demand as the global economy slows. The average national gasoline price is expected to fall as low as $3.50 a gallon this summer. It could even dip near $3 in some states. The national average is being propped up by refinery problems in California that have lifted prices well above the national average there, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — John Edwards’ defense team rested Wednesday without calling the two-time Democratic presidential candidate or his one-time mistress to the witness stand, a sign of confidence after presenting little more than two days of testimony and evidence. The defense had called a series of witnesses aimed at shifting the jury’s focus from the lurid details of a political sex scandal to the legal question of whether the Edwards’ actions violated federal campaign finance laws. Prosecutors spent nearly three weeks trying to convince a jury that Edwards masterminded a conspiracy to use nearly $1 million secretly provided by two wealthy donors to help hide his pregnant mistress, Rielle Hunter, as he sought the White House in 2008. Many people watching the case believed Edwards would testify so the jury could hear directly from the former U.S. senator and trial lawyer, who had a reputation for his ability to sway jurors. But putting Edwards on the stand was also a gamble: It would have exposed him to withering cross-examination about his past lies and personal failings. Most experts were convinced calling Hunter to testify would have dredged up more negatives and lies. The defense also elected not to question Edwards’ oldest daughter, Cate, who has sat behind Edwards nearly every day of the trial and could have helped humanize him. At one point during the trial, she ran out of the courtroom in tears during testimony about her cancer-stricken mother confronting her father about his extramarital affair. The judge told jurors that no more witnesses would be called and closing arguments would be Thursday, with the jury likely beginning deliberations Friday. Edwards is charged with six criminal counts including conspiracy to violate the Federal Election Campaign Act, accepting contributions that exceeded campaign finance limits, and causing his campaign to file a false financial disclosure report. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5
IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH? Many people are not aware that death is not the end of life. The Bible teaches that man is more than a physical creature; he is also a spiritual creature. Physical death means more than the end of existence. It does not mean the end of one’s existence, but the end of life as we know it to be. Luke tells of two men who lived, died and were still alive in the spirit world.. “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried” (Luke 16:22). Both men were still alive in the spirit world and one was blessed while the other was tormented. “And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented” (Luke 16:24-25). Paul assures us there will be a judgment and all will be present. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Cor 5:10). All nations will be present for the judgment. “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats” (Matt 25:31-32). The living and the dead will all be judged by the same standard. “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Are we willing to accept what the Bible teaches about the living and the dead? The living and the dead are still alive.

Vietnam GI awarded Medal of Honor WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has awarded an Army soldier the Medal of Honor 42 years after the rifleman was killed during a Vietnam-era clash in Cambodia. Obama presented the medal Wednesday to the widow of Spec. Leslie H. Sabo Jr. in the East Room. He said the young soldier gave his life to save comrades from a North Vietnamese ambush, and honoring Sabo helps pay tribute to a generation of vets who were too often shunned, not celebrated. In 1970, Sabo’s platoon was surrounded by the North Vietnamese near Se San in eastern Cambodia. Sabo is credited with grabbing an enemy grenade and tossing it away, then pulling the pin on his own grenade and attacking an enemy bunker even though he knew it would cost him his life.
World leaders set for busy weekend WASHINGTON (AP) — More than two dozen world leaders will join President Barack Obama in an extraordinary weekend of back-to-back summits to tackle Europe’s mounting economic woes and solidify plans for winding down the decade-long war in Afghanistan. The Group of Eight economic summit and the national security-focused NATO meeting will be infused with politics from every angle. For Obama, the summits are a unique election-year opportunity to show leadership on the world stage without having to leave the U.S. But with some new faces around the conference tables, Obama and the other leaders will be confronted by the stark reminder of the political turmoil from Asia to Europe that cost several of their old counterparts their jobs. Since late 2011, public frustration with Europe’s debt crisis has led to the ouster of leaders in Italy, Spain, Greece and most recently, France. Two other members of the G-8, Britain and Japan, have had leadership shake-ups since Obama took office. Obama is fighting for his own job in a campaign expected to hinge on the economy. He has had the good fortune of being able to hold both summits this year in the U.S., allowing him to tailor the meetings around his election-year messages of expanding the economy, creating jobs and ending the war The summit locations rotate annually for each organization. Leaders from the world’s eight leading industrialized nations arrive in the Washington area on Friday for meetings at Camp David, the wooded presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. Immediately following the G-8 summit, Obama and most of the other leaders will fly to Chicago Saturday evening to join other heads of state from NATO. Obama originally planned both meetings for Chicago, his hometown. But the White House abruptly scraped those plans in March, announcing with little explanation that the G-8 would shift to Camp David. It was an unexpected move from Obama, who rarely spends time at Camp David and has never hosted a world leader there, unlike many of his predecessors. The White House said that location would lend itself to more intimate talks. It also will keep them far from the protests that usually flare on the summit fringes.

Ag stocks’ allure Zacks Investment Research in Chicago. for Zac “That’s “Tha not going to go away any time soon, and the farmers are having trouble soo keeping up with it.â€? ke The rising demand is fueled by a growing middle class in emerging markets, such as China and India. That means farmers are spending heavily in anticipation of big rewards. Farmers are pouring money into fertilizers and nutrients, as well as tractors, combines and other equipment. A couple of cautionary notes: The large amount of used agricultural equipment on the market could limit tthe near-term results for equipment makers. And farming isn’t immune from m the threat of Europe’s ďŹ nancial crisis. But North America is driving agricultural Nort growth, and that looks strong for the growth foreseeable future.

Government forecasters are predicting a bin-busting year for corn, estimated at 14.8 billion bushels compared with 12.4 billion a year ago. Soybean output also is expected to top last year. In 2011, the e corn crop was valued at $76 billion followed by soybeans at $36 billion. “There’s record demand right now w for a lot of food products, especially corn and soybeans,â€? says Tracy Ryniec, equity strategist

Retail giant
Gap’s 1Q
Wal-Mart Stores’ U.S. namesake business has been making strides to woo customers. The world’s largest retailer guaranteed the lowest prices on merchandise this past holiday season. The bid worked, and Wal-Mart recorded its first increase in store traffic in at least two years. But its margins suffered. Investors find out today whether Wal-Mart’s margins held up any better in the first quarter.
The operator of chains such as Banana Republic and Gap has struggled for years to reclaim its former fashion status. But the Gap must be doing something right. It’s expected to report higher profit and sales when it releases its first-quarter results today. Wall Street will want to know whether sales improved at Gap's namesake chain, which has posted annual sales drops the last seven years in North America.

Class 3A Championship Series BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
JACKSON — Blue has gotten his hands on the gold. Now Daniel Threadgill is hoping his baseball club can experience that state championship feeling. Kossuth (24-6) begins its quest for its first diamond championship today against South champion Southeast Lauderdale (30-6) in the Mississippi High School Activities Association’s Class 3A State Baseball Tournament. Game One of the best-ofthree series is set for 4 p.m. at Smith-Wills Stadium. Game Two will be played at the same time Saturday, with the “if necessary” contest on Monday at a time to be determined. Prior to leading Kossuth to consecutive Division 1-3A championships in his second and third year at the helm, Threadgill was an assistant on Nettleton’s 2007 champion-
ship squad. “I’ve told them what to expect and how the fans are,” said Threadgill. “We played at Trustmark Park (in Pearl) but the atmosphere is the same. “What they have to realize is that it’s no different from any other game.” Tyler Nelms (7-2) is expected to get the call in Game One. The senior has tossed five complete games — including three shutouts — while compiling a 1.69 ERA. In 701⁄3 innings the righty has 114 strikeouts, including six double-digit efforts. Kossuth has won 11 of 12 since dropping a 9-4 decision to Amory on April 7. The Aggies are 6-1 in the postseason and have reeled of six straight after dropping a 3-0 decision in Game One to Water Valley. The Aggies rebounded from that loss to pound the Blue Devils by a combined 26-7 margin in the final two games. Kossuth responded
with a 14-2 win in Game Two — needing just five innings to beat the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last year. “I feel that win catapulted us for the rest of the playoffs,” said Threadgill. “To come back and win the way we did showed us what we are capable of.” The Aggies swept South Pontotoc in the North semifinals, claiming 9-2 and 7-0 wins. Things were a bit tighter in the North finals with Kossuth taking its third and fourth one-run wins over Belmont — 3-2 and 1-0 — to reach the championship series for the first time. Keeping games close has worked for Kossuth in 2012. The Aggies own five one-run wins and another six by two or three digits. “We’ve yet to be on the losing side of a one-run game,” said Threadgill. “We’ve stayed around and done what it takes
to win the close ones.” Southeast Lauderdale captured the title in Division 5-3A with an 8-0 mark and has put together a 6-2 worksheet in the postseason. After eliminating perennial power Sumrall in the South semis, the Tigers got past St. Andrew’s after dropping Game One. “They’re very athletic, run the bases well and are aggressive,” said Threadgill. “They hit the ball well and do the small stuff.” The Tigers also boast a Clarion-Ledger Dandy Dozen in Ledarius Clark. The senior is batting .492 with 13 doubles, five homers and 31 RBI. With 25 walks and 10 hit by pitch, the outfielder has put together a .650 on-base percentage. “Coming in we knew this could be a special year,” said Threadgill. “We definitely want to win, but at the same time we’re very excited to be here.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina ace Michael Roth heard all the negative comments a couple of months ago from fans who thought all was lost when the twotime defending national champions fell into a deep hole early in the Southeastern Conference season. Now, the Gamecocks (3813) are right where they usually are — fighting for a conference crown on the final weekend of the regular season. South Carolina stands a half-game behind league leader Kentucky. LSU is a
game behind and comes to Carolina Stadium for a threegame series starting Friday. Florida, which won the SEC crown in 2010 by defeating the Gamecocks two out of three games on the final weekend, is two games in back of Kentucky and would need plenty of help to reach the top again. Few thought the Gamecocks would have a shot after they were swept by Kentucky, then lost two of three to Florida to start SEC play 1-5. “Our fans didn’t think that, they thought the apocalypse was coming,” said Roth, the
team’s top pitcher the past two seasons. “We started joking around, ‘Let’s just make the (SEC) playoffs after starting 1-5.’ But we knew we were a good team and what we were able to do in the middle of the SEC was pretty special.” That included a 14-game SEC winning streak that moved the Gamecocks into position for the title. Even more important could be gaining one of the top two seeds that go to the SEC division winners — and the extra day of rest — in the reformatted 10-team tournament in Hoover, Ala., next week.
Seeds three through 10 must play on Tuesday and the top two seeds don’t start until Wednesday. The South Carolina-LSU series could also be the deciding factor for one of the top eight national seeds who would host regionals and, should they advance, super regionals in the upcoming NCAA tournament. “That’s a really a good thing to be able to stay in the hunt in the last three years and we go down to the final weekend with the opportunity to determine out fate,” Please see SEC | 9
Roger Clemens accuser: ‘I didn’t make it up’ Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens’ lawyer toyed with Brian McNamee’s memory and attacked him from several directions at once. The attorney even put an easel next to the witness with the words: “MISTAKE. BAD MEMORY. LIE.” Eventually, there came the inevitable question: “Do you sometimes just make stuff up?” McNamee has frequently taken long pauses before answering questions in three days on the witness stand, but he didn’t hesitate this time. He leaned into the microphone and said softly but
assuredly: “I didn’t make it up.” Clemens’ chief accuser was on the stand for two hours of aggressive cross-examination Wednesday on one of the most important days — perhaps the most important — in the perjury trial of the seven-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher. Clemens is charged with lying when he told Congress in 2008 that he never used steroids or human growth hormone. McNamee has testified he injected Clemens with both, and the credibility of Clemens’ former friend and longtime strength coach will no
doubt be the No. 1 topic when the jury starts deliberating the case. Going for style over substance, Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin was as colorful as his outfit — bright orange tie, cream-colored suit — and continued his practice of mispronouncing the witness’ name as mac-nah-MAY instead of MAC-nah-mee. He skipped from topic to topic without warning, often confusing McNamee while trying to sow seeds of doubt in the jurors’ minds. McNamee, who has now spent 12 hours on the stand with more to come on Thurs-
day, alternated between fidgety and focused. At various times he looked curiously at the courtroom ceiling, draped his arm around his chair, or leaned forward to scratch an itchy foot while Hardin was asking questions. McNamee sometimes seemed perplexed by simple yes-or-no questions and stumbled through an answer about his birthday. Other times, he was more firm and direct. He complained when Hardin asked him a convoluted, multipart question: “Which one do you want me to answer?” “Pick Please see CLEMENS | 9

SEC CONTINUED FROM 8
Gamecocks coach Ray Tanner said. Not that losing the conference crown has slowed down South Carolina. It won the first of its two national titles in 2010 after watching Florida dog pile on the Carolina Stadium pitchers’ mound to celebrate winning the SEC regular-season championship. South Carolina had a chance for an outright regular-season crown last year, too, but wound up sharing the championship with Florida and Vanderbilt. Five weeks later, the Gamecocks upended the Gators to win their second straight College World Series. Roth said South Carolina’s excelled at keeping its eyes on what’s ahead. “If you look at it, winning the SEC is a goal,” said Roth, 19-3 the past two seasons as the Gamecocks’ weekend series starter. “But it’s not the ultimate goal. If we don’t achieve winning the SEC, then there’s still the prize of the ultimate goal of making it to Omaha. I guess that’s how you keep it in perspective, but not putting all your eggs in this basket.” LSU (40-13) is also fighting for the top and can clinch the SEC Western Division with one victory this weekend. Tigers coach Paul Mainieri thinks his club is seeking even more. “Our players are very excited for the opportunity to go to Columbia and compete for the SEC championship,” he said. “We have so much respect for (South Carolina coach) Ray Tanner and his program, and it should be a series the entire nation will be watching.” LSU last won the SEC in 2009 when it tied with Ole Miss. The Tigers then went on to win the College World Series that season. LSU and South Carolina might have some scoreboard watching to do this weekend, tracking Kentucky’s three-game series at Mississippi State. The Wildcats can wrap up just their second SEC baseball championship ever — they shared the title with Alabama in 2006 — by winning out. Florida’s not out of it either and must go to Auburn to finish the season, although the Gators would most need a sweep and plenty of losses out of the teams ahead of them to gain a share of first. Tanner, the Gamecocks’ coach, won’t worry about that. He doesn’t want his players considering their chances either, just playing the kind of baseball that’s gotten them back near the top of the SEC. “Our guys don’t worry about a lot of things they can’t control,” he said. “My whole situation is let’s try and have a good time. We’ve got a great environment, we’re playing at home, let’s be loose and relaxed and try and seize the opportunity to win a game.”

“bad memory” before court adjourned for the day at noon because of a juror’s schedule conflict. McNamee returns to the stand Thursday. McNamee says he gave Clemens injections of performance-enhancing drugs in 1998, 2000 and 2001. During questions about the 1998 injection, Hardin inadvertently introduced evidence he had sought to keep away from the jury. McNamee testified that he overheard a conversation between teammates Clemens and Jose Canseco about steroids
in the Toronto Blue Jays clubhouse, a conversation the judge had ruled could not be brought up by prosecutors. Having overheard Clemens and Canseco, McNamee said he therefore was certain Clemens was referring to steroids when Clemens later asked for a help with a “booty shot” in early June 2008. Hardin stressed that Clemens didn’t use the word “steroids” and could have been referring to a shot for the vitamin B12. McNamee has said he first injected Clemens with steroids later that

one,” Hardin replied. Hardin was perhaps most effective when he got McNamee to agree that his memory about events connected to Clemens had improved once McNamee began cooperating with federal investigators looking into steroids and baseball. “Is it true that ever since you began making these accusations about Mr. Clemens, your memory and versions of what happened and details have sort of evolved?” Hardin asked. “Yes sir,” McNamee answered. Hardin asked if McNamee had “intentionally lied” to investigators. “Yes sir,” McNamee replied. McNamee testified earlier in the week that he originally minimized Clemens’ involvement with performance-enhancing drugs in what he said was an effort to protect the pitcher. Hardin worked
the same angle when McNamee had trouble remembering what was written on the cover of a book McNamee started writing but never published. “You remember little details all the way back to 1998 ... but you have to have me show you the cover of your book before you know what’s on it,” Hardin said. Referencing the easel, Hardin would cite various statements and ask McNamee to put them in the category of “mistake,” “bad memory” or “lie.” McNamee conceded to one case of a

month. McNamee also testified for the first time about a conversation he said he had with Clemens about steroids following Clemens’ 2003 season with the New York Yankees. McNamee said that Clemens had planned to retire and “wanted to change his workout program and get bigger.” McNamee said Clemens asked, “Do you still have that guy?” who can supply the drugs. Clemens eventually decided to keep playing and returned in 2004 with the Houston Astros.

Big League Talent, Big League Moxie In the first meeting between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals this season, the Nationals’ 19-year-old rookie Bryce Harper showed why he belongs in the major leagues. Not because of his talent, but because of his makeup and feel for the game. After the Phillies’ Cole Hamels welcomed Harper to the big leagues with a fastball between the shoulder blades, Harper calmly dropped his bat and trotted to first base. No staring, no pointing, no yelling, no drama. After hustling his way to third base, Harper made Hamels look a bit foolish by adeptly stealing home as the lefthander tossed a pickoff throw to first base. Harper’s teammate, pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, stuck up for his pal by plunking Hamels in the shin. Both dugouts were warned and the episode was over. Or at least it should have been. Hamels boasted that the pitch was intentional, which earned him a five-game suspension. Washington general manager Mike Rizzo chimed in, saying, among other things, that Hamels was “gutless” and “classless” and “fake tough,” which did nothing but make matters worse. The most mature subject in this scenario? The 19year-old with eight games of big league experience, not the seven-year veteran pitcher or the GM with 30 years as an executive.
Joey Votto
Quick, can you name the six hitters with as many as 20 extra-base hits after last weekend? Okay, Josh Hamilton leads — that’s easy — with 23. Next are the rejuvenated David Ortiz and Cincinnati Red Joey Votto with 21. Votto’s teammate, Jay Bruce, has 20 as does Edwin Encarnacion of Toronto. The sixth? Adam Dunn. Yep, that guy. Although he leads the majors with 50 whiffs, he has 11 home runs and nine doubles for the White Sox. While most fans and executives had given up on the slugger who hit just .159 last season with 177 punchouts, Dunn is batting a respectable .250 and is third in the majors in walks with 28.
Josh Hamilton, Texas There is no doubt that Hamilton is the hottest hitter in baseball right now. And it’s not just because he hit four home runs last Tuesday against Baltimore. The former MVP hit nine home runs, drove home 16 and hit .464 last week. His OPS was an unheard-of 2.010.
Phil Hughes, New York At a time when the Yankees’ rotation is a bit out of sync, Hughes stepped up with two terrific starts last week. In two wins, he threw 14.1 innings and gave up just six hits and a walk in each game. He allowed just four earned runs.
Carlos Beltran, St. Louis When the Cardinals signed Beltran over the winter, they didn’t expect him to completely replace the production lost when Albert Pujols signed with the Angels. But last week, the Cardinals’ new right fielder hit .400 with five home runs and 12 RBIs with an OPS of 1.603.
Brandon Beachy, Atlanta Beachy hasn’t been the most hyped of Atlanta’s young pitchers, but he may be the most effective. On the Braves’ most recent road trip, Beachy won twice — at Colorado and St. Louis — to help the Braves climb into first place in the NL East. In those two starts, Beachy tossed 12.1 innings, allowed just 13 hits plus walks and had 11 strikeouts.
Jameson Taillon, Pittsburgh The 2010 first-round draft pick throws hard and owns a devastating curveball. In seven starts at High-A Bradenton, the 20-year-old has logged 36.2 innings and allowed just 25 hits and seven walks to go with 36 whiffs.
May 16, 1954 Boston’s Ted Williams returned to the starting lineup after suffering a broken collarbone in spring training with eight hits in the Red Sox’ doubleheader. He was 8-for-9 with seven RBIs on the day.
May 17, 1979 In one of the wildest baseball games ever, the Phillies defeated the Cubs 23-22 at Wrigley Field. Phillies’ starter Randy Lerch homered off relief pitcher Donnie Moore in the first inning before taking the mound. The Phillies led 7-6 after the first, 17-9 after the fourth and 21-16 after five innings. Dave Kingman hit three of the Cubs’ six home runs and Mike Schmidt swatted two for the Phillies, including the game-winner in the top of the 10th off Bruce Sutter.
Atlanta at Tampa Bay While there are matchups during the first Interleague weekend that will excite local fans — like the Cubs-White Sox, A’s-Giants — the biggest series of baseball interest will be in St. Petersburg. Both teams are playing .600 baseball or better with sights squarely on the playoffs. The Rays have been pitching much better of late, but the Braves’ offense has been surprisingly potent. The marquee matchup will be Tim Hudson vs. David Price on Sunday.
Baltimore at Washington Since the Montreal Expos moved to Washington to compete for market share with the Orioles in 2005, the high-water mark for both teams was 2005 when Baltimore won 74 games and the Nationals broke even at 81-81. So, really this series has been more important to the marketing departments than the standings. But 2012 is a new era in the Beltway. Both teams are competing for a division title as well as respect within their divisions. Baltimore leads the majors with 26 home runs in May, while the Nats owns baseball’s best rotation.
St. Louis at Los Angeles Dodgers In the only non-Interleague series, the Cardinals visit the Dodgers looking to prove that they can win outside the NL Central. The Dodgers, with the best record in the NL, may be playing without their superstar, Matt Kemp, who is nursing a hamstring injury.

4-Homer Games, Rarest Baseball Feat On May 8, Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers hit four home runs off Baltimore pitching at Camden Yards. How rare is that feat? It’s been accomplished only 14 times since 1900; 16 if you go back prior to the turn of the century when rules were different. That’s five fewer than the number of perfect games during that time. The list of the 14 players to accomplish it spans from Pat Seerey, who had a nondescript seven-year career and finished with 86 career homers, to Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Lou Gehrig, two of the greatest to ever put on a uniform. Gil Hodges is on the list, Duke Snider is not. Lou Gehrig did it, Babe did not. Seattle’s Mike Cameron made the list; Seattle’s Ken Griffey Jr. did not. The Cardinals’ Mark Whiten, yes; the Cardinals’ Mark McGwire, no. Willie Mays, uh-huh; Hank Aaron, nope. Only three times have hitters come to the plate with a chance for a fifth home run, twice by the same player. The first, Lou Gehrig, hit a rocket to deep center field for an out in his sixth at-bat after hitting four home runs. The only other was Mike Cameron. He actually made it to the plate twice. The first ended in him being plunked by Mike Porzio (imagine that). Cameron came up again in the ninth and hit a liner that backed up right fielder Magglio Ordonez for an out. The complete list (since 1900): Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees June 3, 1932 at Philadelphia Yankees 20, Athletics 13 The Athletics’ George Earnshaw is one of only two starting pitchers to give up three of the four home runs. Yankees third baseman Tony Lazzeri also deserves some accolades for hitting for the cycle that day. Chuck Klein, Philadelphia Phillies July 10, 1936 at Pittsburgh Phillies 9, Pirates 6 The Pirates tied the game with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, which
16 10,000 5 5 2:37 9 14,291 45,073
gave Klein an extra at-bat in the 10th, when he hit his fourth. Pat Seerey, Chicago White Sox July 18, 1948 at Philadelphia White Sox 12, Athletics 11 Like Klein, Seerey also needed extra innings to hit his fourth. Seerey’s solo shot in the 11th provided the winning margin. Gil Hodges, Brooklyn Dodgers Aug. 31, 1950 at Brooklyn Dodgers 19, Braves 3 Hodges’ first blast came off Hall of Famer Warren Spahn. The Dodgers’ first baseman had nine RBIs. Brooklyn’s starting pitcher Carl Erskine had five hits and Hall of Famer Duke Snider also went deep. Joe Adcock, Milwaukee Braves July 31, 1954 at Brooklyn Braves 15, Dodgers 7 Lew Burdette was the winning pitcher with 6.1 innings of relief. It was a banner home run day for the Braves, as Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews hit two out and Andy Pafko hit one. Hank Aaron did not go deep, but had a double and a single. Rocky Colavito, Cleveland Indians June 10, 1959 at Baltimore Indians 11, Orioles 8 Colavito is the only player to hit four home runs in a game and have a win as a pitcher. (Colavito was the winning pitcher in relief for the Yankees against the Tigers in 1968.) Willie Mays, San Francisco Giants April 30, 1961 at Milwaukee Giants 14, Braves 4 There were seven home runs hit by Hall of Famers that day. In addition to Mays, Hank Aaron hit two and Orlando Cepeda hit one. Giants Felipe Alou hit one and Jose Pagan hit two of his 52 career homers. Mays just missed a shot at a fifth as the Giants’ ninth inning ended with him on deck. Mike Schmidt, Philadelphia Phillies April 17, 1986 at Chicago Phillies 18, Cubs 16
In no doubt the wildest affair on the list, the Phillies were once down 12-1. Hall of Fame lefthander Steve Carlton lasted just 1.2 innings giving up seven earned runs. The Phillies took a 15-13 lead into the bottom of the ninth before the Cubs sent it into extras. Schmidt, who hit two home runs off Rick Reuschel, hit number four in the 10th to break the tie off Rick’s brother, Paul. Bob Horner, Atlanta Braves July 6, 1986 at Atlanta Expos 11, Braves 8 The Expos’ starter Andy McGaffigan gave up three blasts before closer Jeff Reardon, who recorded a save, yielded the fourth. This is the only time a player hit four dingers in a losing cause. Mark Whiten, St. Louis Cardinals Sept. 7, 1993 at Cincinnati Cardinals 15, Reds 2 Whiten heads the list with 12 RBIs and is the only player to Athlon Sports include a grand slam among his four homers.

The Yankees’ shortstop Derek Jeter got his 3,141st hit this week, tying him with Tony Gwynn for 19th alltime in career hits, just one behind Robin Yount. Can you remember what pitcher Jeter victimized for the first hit of his career?

A handful of big-name closers already demoted Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Closer by committee is taking on new meaning during this mix-andmatch May. Big names like Heath Bell and Francisco Cordero recently lost their ninth-inning jobs. Same with a handful of others around baseball, including Oakland’s Grant Balfour just this past week. Both Los Angeles clubs demoted their closers, too. Many pitchers respon-
sible for recording those final three outs are in a state of flux, with several managers already moving them into the lesspressured roles of middle relief or setup duties. It’s been a muddled month to say the least as far as the back end of bullpens are concerned. “I found out firsthand how hard it is — I lost a game this year with a two-run lead in the ninth,” Detroit ace Justin Verlander said Sunday. “I think closers are one
of the toughest pitching positions there are in the game. Mariano (Rivera) and (Trevor) Hoffman made it look so easy for so long. Those last three outs are the toughest to get in baseball.” From Bell in Miami to the Cubs’ Carlos Marmol and into Canada with Toronto’s Cordero, these typically reliable arms have been pulled from their late-game gigs and put on a short leash. “Plain and simple, if you look at the bad
month I had in April, if I throw strikes, I get the job done,” said Bell, who has pitched better of late and soon could be back in his old job. “So I’m focusing on just throwing strikes.” Athletics manager Bob Melvin went with former closer Brian Fuentes to finish Saturday night’s 3-1 victory against the Tigers. He might stick with this setup unless Fuentes doesn’t do the job — and Balfour has been told he could return to the ninth inning.
“I’ve been on many teams where they’ve given the closer a little break, based on a period of time, to iron some things out, take a little pressure off and get back to it,” Melvin said. “Certainly he’ll have that opportunity. We’ll see what Brian does with it. I know he’s excited about having it. But it’s not uncommon that guys get pulled out of that role for a while and end up reclaiming it. Cordero was taken out with Toronto and I would think
that they expect him to be their closer again. It just happens over the course of the season sometimes.” Dodgers skipper Don Mattingly dropped Javy Guerra from closer and replaced him with Kenley Jansen. A little farther south in Anaheim, Mike Scioscia bumped Jordan Walden in favor of Scott Downs. “Evidently in a situation like that, somebody’s just not liking what they’re seeing,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.

Many stages await Boomers looking for ‘encore’ DEAR ABBY: “Searching for ‘Me’ in Texas� (March 4) is not alone! A wave of 78 million baby boomers will soon leave 30-plus-year careers and are looking forward to an estimated 20 more years of life. A vast majority of them are looking for meaningful opportunities for the second half of their lives. “Searching� should seek out a non-profit organization for a cause she’s passionate about and offer her skilled services. If “Searching� doesn’t need an income, she can volunteer. Finally, instead of seeking a graduate degree, she could look at her local community college and find non-credit classes that interest her and par-
ticipate without the pressure of credited course work. -Abigail STEPHAVan Buren NIE IN PHOENIX Dear Abby DEAR STEPHANIE: Your suggestions are all good ones. Second careers are becoming more common, and there are many opportunities for seniors to enjoy their “encore careers.� Read on for more options: DEAR ABBY: Your advice to “Searching� was dead-on. After a 30-year career in the insurance industry, I was forced into early retirement by a corporate buyout. At
59, I was stunned and unprepared. After some soul searching, I decided I wasn’t done with life. I started reading, talking to friends and praying. There were some false starts. I tried out for the Peace Corps but backed out. I got into an income tax class that was over my head. Then I got another insurance job and found myself back in the rat race. I made ends meet by substitute teaching and began to realize that, eons ago, I had wanted to be a teacher. (I had been talked out of it.) So I started back to college for my master’s degree in teaching. Talk about scared! It had been 33 years since I had seen the inside of
a classroom. But my experience was one of the most challenging, positive and enriching I have ever known. I met wonderful people and was admired for my life experience, insight and work ethic. It wasn’t all sweetness and light, but if I had to do it over again I’d do it in a minute. -- CATHERINE IN ILLINOIS DEAR ABBY: “Searching� might consider volunteering with SCORE -Service Corps of Retired Executives. Her skills are needed and would be appreciated. That way she can dabble in her old work and have a sense of accomplishment. -CHARLES IN MARYLAND DEAR ABBY: As a volunteer coordinator at a
large non-profit, I have many volunteers who discovered us as a result of a retirement search. The AARP’s volunteer engagement site is www. createthegood.org, and www.volunteermatch.org is a nationwide site for searching volunteer opportunities. “Searching� needs to think about things she would like to do but couldn’t while working, and dip her toe in the water. If she tries something and it isn’t a fit, she has no obligation and can try another. It may lead to a paid “encore� career or fulfill her through volunteerism. -- JAN IN YARDLEY, PA. DEAR ABBY: When I retired at 62, I decided to return to school for a
graduate philosophy degree. My body may be weaker, but I like to think most of my mental faculties are intact. My first resume may generate humor, but I’ll bring something to the classroom that may prove invaluable. That’s 40 years of experience and 63 years of 20-20 hindsight. I will call it a good day if I can communicate to any student that learning is fun and education has intrinsic value. -- CALVERT IN NORTH CAROLINA (Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)
it. Be forward-thinking, as well, and you’ll avoid falling into a relationship rut. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll have something in common with
top athletes today, as you’ll experience a situation in which everything seems to ride on one instant. You’ll shine in that instant, as graceful as ever.
Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS There’s a sign on the wall that reads: “Drink coffee. Do stupid things faster.� The Aries moon can be like a double espresso, injecting great vigor and excitement into the scene. It’s essential that you have a smart plan, though. Applying this energy to anything less would be a waste, or even destructive. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Before you can master a task, you must learn to master yourself. It will be much easier to do so when you get on your own side. Be nice. Self-correction can happen without self-punishment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll need some additional direction in order to get motivated.
Ask the people in your organization, family or business to share their point of view. You’ll receive recommendations and useful ideas. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll celebrate your passions, going deeper into the things that interest you. A knowledgeable air sign (that’s Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) will be a rich resource. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll enjoy the feeling that you’re moving fast and that lots of things are happening simultaneously. You’ll count this among your most productive days. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Experiencing confusion while you’re learning something is positive and necessary. The confusion makes your brain
work at a higher level. Confusion makes you ask better questions. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you want to believe something but can’t seem to fully get behind the belief, you probably need more information. It’s impossible to change your beliefs without learning something new. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You won’t have to come up with the passion it takes to reach a goal. You already have that passion inside you. All you have to do is stir it up a bit and then unbridle it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t concern yourself with any matter or person over which you have no influence. This certainly makes life simpler, and it conserves
energy, too. Your circle of influence will soon grow to include even more people and situations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll attain information about your goal. Keep learning until you’re both knowledgeable and wise. Wisdom is knowing how and when to apply your knowledge. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Eye contact will reveal much. Look deeply into the eyes of the one you want to know, understand or persuade. Bonus: The other person will feel like the most fascinating individual in the world. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). When it comes to a loved one, your commitment level is strong, and you’ll constantly act in a manner that proves
