Group ranks Northeast success rate For the Daily Corinthian
BOONEVILLE — On the eve of session one of orientation at Northeast Mississippi Community College, school officials learned they can inform the incoming freshmen during tomorrow’s program that their decision to attend Northeast
was definitely a good one. According to College Measures, a joint venture of the American Institutes of Research and Matrix Knowledge Group, Northeast ranks third in the state of Mississippi in regard to success rate of giving students the best chance to
transfer to a four-year college or university. College Measures created a chart for CNNMoney to help students find the best options. Based on the percentage of students that graduated within three years or transferred to four-year colleges, it compiled
a “success” rating for each community college in the U.S. Colleges with less than 200 fulltime freshmen we not included in the study. According to Lynn Gibson, associate dean of student services and registrar, news of the lofty ranking couldn’t come at a
better time as the college prepares to welcome approximately 500-600 first-time students to campus during the first of three summer orientation sessions tomorrow. “Obviously, this is great Please see NORTHEAST | 2A

Patsy Powers and her husband, Forrest, have started a gravestone-cleaning business.
‘Labor of Love’ Couple begins gravestone-cleaning business BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Patsy Powers has a love for cemeteries. That affection formed a grave care business. Labor of Love Grave Care — run by Powers and husband Forrest — offers professional and gentle cleaning of head-
stones along with tidying up around the grave. “To me cemeteries are peaceful,” said the Tate Baptist Church secretary, who walks at Henry Cemetery on a regular basis. “I love the history and have always wanted to decorate graves.” The mother of two was con-
vinced to try the cleaning end of the business by a Memphis, Tenn., police officer who does gravestone cleaning on the weekend. “We researched it a lot and took a grave care business course,” said Powers. “No one Please see GRAVESTONES | 2A
Mayor Tommy Irwin answered questions from Corinth residents about the proposed Future Fare project in a public forum during Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Irwin opened the Future Fare segment of the meeting with an overview of Corinth’s infrastructure problems and explained why he believes the program is a necessity. “This goes back many years. There was not a lot of money spent on Corinth,” the mayor said. “We just do not generate enough income to fix our problems.” On Aug. 21 Corinth will vote on the tax increase. Irwin said he was happy that the issue is in the hands of voter and, if successful, the project will take around 15 years to complete and will make a huge difference in Corinth’s growth — and how Corinthians see their own city. “If we’re allowed this opportunity, you’re going to see this town start shining,” Irwin
said. The most widely shared question among those who attended the forum was in regard to the length of the 12 mill ad valorem tax increase that will pay for the project. While the plan calls for a fiveyear tax increase, two Corinth residents expressed concerns that once the increase was in effect it would remain permanent. Irwin promised information, integrity and honesty — and said the only way the tax increase would continue past the stated five-year period is if the city chooses to continue the program through a referendum. A public presentation to discuss the project’s specifics is scheduled for July 31 at the Corinth High School Auditorium, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Irwin said the presentation will give the public a chance to learn all of the details of Future Fare. “When you attend this meeting, you’re going to know Please see FORUM | 2A
Tourism board approves 3 grants BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
A trio of events were granted funding by the Corinth Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CACVB) during a light June meeting. The Magnolia Antique Car Club received $1,000 from the tourism board for its 44th annual show set for October. “It’s a pretty large event that brings people downtown to eat and shop,” said board president Chris Porterfield. Funding will be used for a hospitality tent during the event that also coincides with the Hog Wild BBQ Contest and Festival. “They always have a good turnout,” added tourism director Kristy White in her first week back from paternity leave. The Rotary Club of Corinth was approved for $1,500 to be used for the civic club’s annual Austin’s Shoes Run with Rotary 5K in October. Funds earned from the run are used for several of the club’s projects such as the teacher of the year awards, student of the month awards, Boys & Girls Club and Lighthouse Education programs. Corinth High School’s cross country team was granted
$750 by the board. The money will go toward electronic timing to be used in the Corinth High School Cross Country Invitational on September 29. Last year, 19 teams along with 1,500 people attended the event. “The electronic timing permits us to invite more schools to participate in the event,” said CHS Head Coach Larry Mangus in a written request to the board. Squads from all over north and central Mississippi took part last season as 589 runners finished the race. In other business: ■ A reprint of the All Aboard Corinth brochure was approved at a cost of $5,600 for 25,000 brochures. ■ The board’s calendar of events is changing from a printout form to digital in July due to the rising cost of printing and postage. ■ White announced to the board that Canadian cyclist Chris Greig will make a stop in Corinth as he attempts to set a record solo unsupported bicycle ride from Alaska to Florida. Greig is expected to make the stop sometimes around the week of July 16. The next board meeting is set for July 10 at 8 a.m.

offers this type of service around here and it’s something that needs to be done.” The weekend business has been trial and error for the Powers. “You can’t just put anything on a gravestone,” said Patsy Powers. “It depends of the type of stone and how old it is.” Biological growth causes the deterioration of the stone. When that happens, it becomes necessary to clean the marker. On smooth, stable surfaces, algae, lichen, and fungus may sometimes be easily brushed or scraped off before washing by using scrapers that are softer than the stone. Most surfaces, however, require wetting the growth before gently brushing, prying, or scraping them off the stone. “It can take up to two hours to do one stone,” added Powers. The church secretary and her husband employ a biological cleaner made
for gravestones along with a 4-gallon garden sprayer and nylon brush in the cleaning. “You can’t use bleach because most stones are too porous,” said Powers. The duo also offers floral wreaths or arrangements for special occasions. “Whatever the needs are, we will do our best to meet them,” added the new business owner. Prices are based on size of the gravestone that needs cleaning with additional fees for floral arrangements or cleaning up around the gravesite. “It’s just respectful,” said the Corinth resident. “These resting places are part of who we are and we can honor our loved ones by maintaining them.” For more information about Labor of Love Grave Care call 662-6034729 or 662-603-4670.

everything I know,” said Irwin. The mayor made a plea for Corinth to think past the relatively immediate tax increase to the future of the city. “It will affect all of us today, but our children are coming along — and will they want to come back to Corinth?” Irwin said. The majority of the
money from the proposed tax increase is set to go to street paving and milling. Other plans for the money include commercial and residential property cleanup; drainage; sidewalks and handicap accessibility; signage; aesthetics and corridors; and more. The special tax levy would begin with the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1.

Other Views Largest health insurer moves in right direction With D-Day rapidly approaching on the Affordable Health Care Act, the nation’s largest health insurer announced recently that it will keep some parts of the law no matter how it fares in the U.S. Supreme Court. UnitedHealth Group Inc. said regardless of how the justices rule, it will continue to cover preventive care such as immunizations without charging a co-payment at the doctor’s office. It also will offer dependent coverage for adult children up to age 26 who seek coverage through parental plans, and won’t impose lifetime dollar limits on how much an insurance policy pays out to cover claims. It’s fair to ask whether these changes are the direct result of the bitterly divisive health care law or public opinion and market forces. Either way, it’s movement in the right direction. UnitedHealth’s CEO said the company would extend some of the initial provisions of the law because they are good for people’s health, they promote better access to quality care and they help control rising health care costs. All true, no doubt, but they would have been just as beneficial years ago. A consultant and former insurance executive quoted by The Associated Press in the June 12 Clarion-Ledger called UnitedHealth’s move a “very smart business decision.” That’s partly because none of the provisions will be free to consumers. They will be factored into premium costs. Still, the changes are positive. The company is bending to what people want, and other insurers undoubtedly will follow its lead. Ultimately, consumers may get what they need most, many coverage options and a wide range of prices. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will pass judgment in coming days on whether the provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires everyone (with some exceptions) to purchase health insurance is constitutional. The justices could uphold the law as is, declare it unconstitutional or reject parts of it and OK other parts. UnitedHealth’s changes show new law and more government control may not be necessary to correct some of our health care problems after all. — The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson
Sound Off I’ve been reading in the Daily Corinthian that the city of Corinth wants to raise the advalorem tax on the fine tax paying citizens of Corinth to pay for street paving and infracture improvements. There will be an upcoming refererdum on the issue. I’m against raising the advalorem tax and will vote against it. I have a suggestion. Why doesn’t the city take funds from the tourism tax we have to pay? Also, why can’t the city get the profits from the festivals put on by Main Street Corinth each year? Taxpayers need no extra burden. Rick Johnston Corinth

Court races find familiar competing interests STARKVILLE — With the Neshoba County Fair now little more than a month away, the political speaking focus at the Founder’s Square Pavilion will be on Mississippi’s congressional general elections and the state’s “nonpartisan” elections for the appellate judiciary. In the state’s congressional elections, incumbent GOP U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo is a prohibitive favorite over 82-year-old Democratic challenger Albert N. Gore Jr. of Starkville. A retired Methodist minister with a distinguished military record as a Green Beret chaplain and winner of both the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart medal, Mr. Gore has earned the right to be taken seriously in the campaign. But with that right comes the responsibility to mount a serious campaign and it is in that venue that Wicker is afforded almost across-theboard prognostications of re-election against the field of challengers. Democratic pollster Dean Debnam of Public Policy Polling said in November: “Even if Democrats recruited a first-tier candidate into this race, they’d still start out behind
by double digits.” Wicker also faces Constitution Party challenger Sid Salter T h o m a s Cramer of Columnist Vancleave and Reform Party perennial candidate Shawn O’Hara of Hattiesburg on the November ballot. In the 1st Congressional District, first-term incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo faces Democratic Party challenger Brad Morris of Oxford, Constitution Party challenger Jim R. Bourland of Columbus, Libertarian Party challenger Danny Bedwell of Columbus and Reform Party challenger Chris Potts. Morris is the former chief of staff for exU.S. Rep. Travis Childers of Booneville - the Democrat whom Nunnelee unseated in 2010 by 14.5 percentage points. Nunnelee remains the favorite. In the 2nd Congressional District, incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Bolton faces Republican challenger Bill Marcy of Vicksburg, Re-
form Party challenger Lajena Williams of Petal, and independent Cobby Mondale Williams of Canton. Despite population shifts in the Delta in the last decade, Thompson’s seat is considered as safe as or safer than any in the Mississippi delegation. In the 3rd Congressional District, incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper of Pearl faces Democratic Party challenger Crystal C. Biggs of Florence and Reform Party challenger John “Luke” Pannell of New Albany. Like Thompson, Harper is also expected to cruise to re-election. In the 4th Congressional District, first-term incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Steven M. Palazzo of Biloxi faces Democratic Party nominee Michael Herrington of Sumrall.

Father’s Day cards at the counter don’t cut it I could not be with my father on Father’s Day, so last week I went to Fred’s to find a card to send. I knew before I read the third dollop of doggerel that it was a useless trip. Commercial cards have no application to my family. Mother’s Day cards are as bad as those for Father’s Day. Nothing clicks. For starters, I don’t call my father “Father” or “Dad.” If Southerners wrote the verses, they would use “Daddy” or “Pop.” “Father” sounds like someone with whom you’d shake hands and read sonnets. “Dad” is only slightly less formal. Same thing with “Mother” versus “Mama.” Luke the Drifter didn’t dream about “Mother” last night; he dreamed about “Mama.” Most of the Father’s Day storylines on the cards involved grilling, as in cooking. Now, my father was a professional butcher and knows meat. He can grill better than Sonya Henie could skate. But his grilling

techniques are not necessarily the thing I want to compliment on a day Rheta special devoted to Johnson praising our daddies. His Columnist way with ribs would be way down the list. How would you like to go off to war, come home to start a family, trudge to work every day of your life, save your pennies for your offspring’s college education, provide shelter and food and Christmas largess, only to be remembered chiefly for your grilling technique? And, no, I don’t see grilling as a metaphor for life. Father’s Day cards are better than Mother’s Day cards in that some of them make a stab at humor. It must be illegal to insert humor into Mother’s Day cards. For Hallmark purposes, Mothers are
saints and angels in widebrimmed gardening hats, and poems always rhyme. Trouble is, the humor for fathers is all in bad taste. I don’t know of a soul, at least in the South, who swaps sophomoric jokes with her daddy. It just isn’t done. We don’t crack wise about beer, bodily functions, automobiles or even grilling. There are funny memories, of course, not ha-ha funny, but warm and tender funny. Remember, Daddy, when you tried to hide my Christmas puppy and he cried all night? You didn’t sleep a wink, and on Christmas morning were quite the sight. I thank you for fighting the good fight. Now that card I could buy, though only if it were discounted for bad rhyme. I know what you’re thinking. Why not just make a card, smarty-pants? Isn’t that why the computer was invented? I’ve been known to resort to the homemade card. I’ve

made lots of valentines in my day because I think it’s more romantic to cut and paste than drive and purchase. But with homemade cards you risk looking like some cheapo with pinking shears and time on her hands. And you can’t send those dazzling computer cards with barking dogs and moving parts if the recipient doesn’t have a computer. I guess I’d rather send inappropriate doggerel with cartoon fathers in giant oven mitts holding a spatula than to appear too tight to spring for a store-bought card. Hallmark and its cheap imitators make it hard not to break a commandment. How do you honor your father and mother when the cards are so silly and weak? Maybe I should have driven down to see the folks and said what I wanted to say. (To find out more about Rheta Grimsley Johnson and her books, visit www. rhetagrimsleyjohnsonbooks.com.)

State Judge orders lawmaker to pay for estate losses TUPELO (AP) — State Rep. Brian Aldridge has filed a motion for a new trial after he was ordered in May to pay more than $200,000 to his aunt, whose estate was plundered by his father. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that Aldridge’s attorney, T.K. Moffett of Tupelo, filed the motion. Lee County Chancellor Michael Malski ordered Aldridge to pay Florence Aldridge $218,355. Malski said that even though Aldridge was not personally liable for the more than $522,000 she lost as a result of actions by his father, Louis Aldridge, he was responsible for what happened through their charity which Louis Aldridge funneled some of her money. Brian Aldridge, a Republican from Tupelo, is chief executive officer of Touched By An Angel Ministries, Inc., which operates a camp for disable children and adults near Tupelo. Louis Aldridge was once the charity’s chief
financial officer. “The court is now essentially finding that an officer of a charitable organization has a personal responsibility to investigate the course of contributions,” Moffett writes in a motion. Moffett compares that decision with church and charitable officers and boards to be held potentially liable for gifts that are from unauthorized or illegal sources.
Renovation under way at Belhaven University JACKSON (AP) — A major renovation project is moving forward at Belhaven University. Part one of the project is going on at Fitzhugh Hall. University officials said crews began work Monday demolishing a section of the building that has been crumbling as a result of shifting Yazoo clay. Fitzhugh Hall, an iconic, 100-year-old structure, has held among many things a women’s dormitory, a swimming pool and a coffee shop.

By fall 2013, a state-ofthe-art science center will close the gaping hole left behind. Belhaven President Dr. Roger Parrott said labs, classrooms and offices were removed from the building. The move affected 83 people. “To fit a modern science facility into a historic building is very challenging, but we have a design that accomplishes that, and I think it’s one for the ages,” said Reid Bishop, a chemistry professor who has worked closely with the project’s architects. Parrott said the university is determined to raise the $6 million needed. The project is moving forward with $1.5 million in donations and bank financing to cover the rest. There’s simply no time to wait. “If it collapses on its own, it’s going to be more expensive to build back

Bryant plans trade trip to Japan, S. Korea OXFORD (AP) — Gov. Phil Bryant will lead a trade delegation to Japan and Korea in September. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that Bryant announced the trade mission during a speech Monday at a meeting of the Mississippi Automotive Manufacturers Association in Oxford. Bryant says he hopes several Mississippi business executives can go
on the trip. Bryant says the plan includes meeting Toyota officials in Japan as a courtesy to reaffirm Mississippi’s thanks for the company’s investment in a 2,000-employee plant in northeast Mississippi and that of its suppliers, which separately employ 1,400 people. Bryant says Mississippi can’t ignore opportunities and developing potentially profitable relationships. Bryant also says he will discuss tourism development with Japanese officials, especially Japanese cultural attachment to Elvis Presley, whose Tupelo birthplace is a tourist magnet.
Craft beer company won’t be brewing PASCAGOULA (AP) — Jackson County supervisors have rejected plans for a brewery in Vancleave. In April, the county’s planning commission voted to give Wanda and Paul Blacksmith a special exception to build a brewing barn to manufacture beer on their property. Some nearby residents and church leaders appealed to the board of supervisors, saying alcohol production in a residential community can only cause trouble. Paul Blacksmith says there would be no drinking at the proposed brewery, not even samples.

Wildfires claim 189 homes LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) — Firefighters faced dangerous conditions across much of the Rocky Mountain region Monday, as they toiled in hot, dry weather to battle a wildfire that has charred nearly 92 square miles in northern Colorado. Authorities said they determined eight more homes have burned in the fire near Fort Collins. The blaze started June 9 and now has destroyed at least 189 homes — the most in the state’s history. The fire is 50 percent contained. The wind was relatively calm Monday, despite forecasts of gusts of up to 50 mph, fire information officer Brett Haberstick said. Temperatures, however, were in the mid-90s, and the relative humidity
was extremely low at 3 to 5 percent, he said. Other wildfires were burning in warm, arid weather from Wyoming to Arizona to Southern California, where a blaze that prompted the evacuation of at least 150 homes was 30 percent contained Monday. Fire officials warned that the 907-acre fire in eastern San Diego County still threatens 200 houses, sheds and other buildings. The fire has destroyed at least one home. In Colorado, another fire that started Sunday in the foothills west of Colorado Springs prompted evacuations of cabins, a Boy Scout camp and a recreation area near the Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir, which provides water to the Denver

area. That fire has burned about 11⁄2 square miles, and fire managers said it has the potential to grow much more in the dry conditions. Authorities hadn’t listed a containment figure by Monday. Meanwhile, a fire near Pagosa Springs in the southwestern part of the state grew to nearly 19 square miles and was 30 percent contained. As firefighters try to get the upper hand on the blaze near Fort Collins, which has burned large swaths of private and U.S. Forest Service land, local authorities have dispatched roving patrols to combat looting. On Sunday, deputies arrested Michael Stillman Maher, 30, of Denver, on charges including theft and impersonating a firefighter. The sheriff’s department said Maher was driving through the fire zone with phony firefighter credentials and a stolen government license plate.
Dimon faces tougher questions WASHINGTON (AP) — JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon had a much tougher reception Tuesday when he returned to Capitol Hill for a second round of questions over the bank’s $2 billion trading loss. House lawmakers from both parties pressed Dimon on a number of fronts: Did JPMorgan manage risk properly? Why was the bank trading so much out of its London office? Has the bank become too large and complex to control? The hearing before the House Financial Services Committee was far more combative in tone than Dimon’s appearance last week before the Senate Banking Committee. For his part, Dimon again apologized for the trading loss and the damage it caused to shareholders. The company has lost about $23 billion in market value since it came to light on May 10. But Dimon stressed that taxpayers and customers of the bank were not affected by the loss. And when pressed, Dimon was firm and frank. At one point, Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., asked Dimon how high the losses could mount. “Is it fair to say that JPMorgan could have losses of half a trillion, or a trillion dollars?” Duffy asked. Dimon replied bluntly: “Not unless the Earth is hit by the moon.”
Asian immigrants to US surpass Hispanics WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, the influx of Asians moving to the U.S. has surpassed that of Hispanics, reflecting a slowdown in illegal immigration while American employers increase their demand for highskilled workers. An expansive study by the Pew Research Center details what it describes as “the rise of AsianAmericans,” a highly diverse and fast-growing group making up roughly 5 percent of the U.S. population. Mostly foreign-born and naturalized citizens, their numbers have been boosted by increases in visas granted to specialized workers and to wealthy investors as the U.S. economy becomes driven less by manufacturing and more by technology. “Too often the policy debates on immigration fixate on just one part — illegal immigration,” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a political science professor at the University of

California-Riverside and a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. “U.S. immigration is more diverse and broader than that, with policy that needs to focus also on high-skilled workers.” “With net migration from Mexico now at zero, the role of Asian-Americans has become more important,” he said. About 430,000 Asians, or 36 percent of all new immigrants, arrived in the U.S. in 2010, according to the latest census data. That’s compared to about 370,000, or 31 percent, who were Hispanic.
US plans military presence in Kuwait WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is planning a significant military presence of 13,500 troops in Kuwait to give it the flexibility to respond to sudden conflicts in the region as Iraq adjusts to the withdrawal of American combat forces and the world nervously eyes Iran, according to a congressional report. The study by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee examined the U.S. relationship with the six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman — against a fastmoving backdrop. In just the last two days, Saudi Arabia’s ruler named Defense Minister Prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz as the country’s new crown prince after last week’s death of Prince Nayef, and Kuwait’s government suspended parliament meetings for a month over an internal political feud. The latest developments inject even more uncertainty as the Middle East deals with the demands of the Arab Spring, the end to U.S. combat operations in Iraq at the end of 2011, fears of Iran’s nuclear program and the counterterrorism campaign. “Home to more than half of the world’s oil reserves and over a third of its natural gas, the stability of the Persian Gulf is critical to the global economy,” the report said. “However, the region faces a myriad of political and security challenges, from the Iranian nuclear program to the threat of terrorism to the political crisis in Bahrain.”
Southern Baptists elect first black president NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Southern Baptist Convention voted Tuesday to elect its first African-American president in one of its biggest steps yet to reconcile the 167-year-old denomination’s racial past and appeal to a more diverse group of believers.
The Rev. Fred Luter Jr. was unopposed in being elected by thousands of enthusiastic delegates on Tuesday at the annual meeting of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination in his hometown of New Orleans. Pastor David Crosby of First Baptist New Orleans nominated Luter, calling him a “fire-breathing, miracle-working pastor” who “would likely be a candidate for statehood if he were Catholic.” Crosby recalled how Luter built the Franklin Avenue Baptist Church from a tiny congregation to a megachurch of nearly 8,000 before the buildings were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Members of Luter’s mostly black church came to worship at Crosby’s mostly white church, and the pastors worked together for 2 1/2 years as Luter rebuilt Franklin Avenue. Today, with a Sunday attendance of 5,000, Luter’s church is once again the largest Southern Baptist church for attendance in the state. “Fred Luter is the only megachurch pastor I know who had to do it twice,” Crosby said. The historic election comes as the denomination tries to expand its appeal beyond its traditional white Southern base. Membership and baptisms have been generally declining in recent years. The Nashville, Tenn.based denomination was formed before the Civil War in a split with northern Baptists over slavery and had reputation over much of the last century for supporting segregation. Seventeen years ago, Luter was one of the authors of an SBC resolution that apologized to African-Americans for its past support of racism and resolved to strive for racial reconciliation.
Captain of ship relieved following collision SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Navy relieved the commanding officer of the USS Essex of his position, saying Tuesday that officials lost confidence in his abilities after his ship collided with a tanker at sea. Capt. Chuck Litchfield had only been the commanding officer of the amphibious assault ship for a few weeks when the crash occurred about 120 miles off the coast of Southern California on May 16. There were no injuries or fuel spills. The Essex was approaching the oiler USNS Yukon to be refueled as part of a routine operation when they ran into each other. Both ships were damaged but were able to continue on their way to San Diego.

More stimulus? The Federal Reserve’s policymaking committee wraps up two days of meetings today. Wall Street will be listening for any suggestions that the Fed intends to take more action to spur growth. Many expect the Fed to extend a program in which it sells short-term bonds to buy long-term ones. Some think the Fed will launch a new round of bond buying aimed at lowering mortgage rates.

Health care on trial panies are freed from making billions in payments.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule on President Obama’s health care overhaul in a matter of days. The law requiring most Americans to obtain health insurance nce could be upheld, struck down or significantly altered.. The law’s intent is to help an estimated 30 million people obtain insurance coverage by 2016 — mainly viding tax credits and by providing ding Medicaid expanding ty. eligibility. spite the uncertainty Despite nding the decision, surrounding health care stocks are up 2 percentt over the last three s, while the Standard & Poor’s months, 500 index dex is down 4 percent. Investor ent may change with the ruling. Here’s a sentiment snapshot hot of how the industry could be impacted.
•
Medical device companies: A tax on medical device sales, set to take effect in January, is expected exp to collect $29 billion over a decade. It is to be imposed im on devices used chiefly by doctors and hospitals, such as pacemakers and CT scan s machines. If upheld, device d makers would benefit from f a larger pool of patients, b but their stocks could also rise if the tax ta isn’t enacted.
•
• Drug makers: If the law is upheld, pharmaceutical
nies will pay an estimated $85 billion in rebates, companies nts and fees over 10 years. And an increase in discounts covered patients will help grow revenue. If the law is struck down, these stocks could climb if the com-
Insurers: This group is vulnerable if the court strikes down the individual insurance mandate but still requires companies to cover everyone who applies. Such a ruling would encroach enc on a company’s ability to offset coverage costs with w revenues from healthy customers who rarely file claims.
•
Hospitals: Medicaid covers more than 60 million people and the overhaul is expected to add about abo 17 million. That’s a significant expansion in the number of paying patients who may seek treatment.
Waiting for a ruling: The Supreme Court decision may not entirely remove the uncertainty surrounding health care stocks and the need for reform.

Heat top Thunder for 3-1 series lead Associated Press
MIAMI — LeBron James better get well fast. He’s about to play for a championship. Hardly able to move, James returned from a left leg injury to make the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2:54 remaining and the Miami Heat held off Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 104-98 victory on Tuesday night and a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. With James watching the final moments, Mario Chalmers finished off a stellar 25-point effort that matched Dwyane Wade. James had 26 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds, only missing a triple-double because he was on the bench at the end after getting hurt with a fall to the court.

Road to BCS change faces bumps The Associated Press
The guys in charge of changing the BCS are headed back to Chicago, hoping to make more progress at a meeting Wednesday than they did the last time they were there. Last week’s gathering of conference commissioners did little to advance the goal of reformatting the way college football crowns a champion. It did produce reports of a standoff, with the Southeastern Conference and the Big 12 on one side and the Big
Ten and Pac-12 on the other. Fans started to worry the four-team playoff which once seemed inevitable after April meetings in Florida had fallen into jeopardy. Talk of a “plus-one” format, which would not create national semifinals but instead pick the championship game participants after the major bowls are played, had seemingly crept back into the conversation. But football fans can relax. There is no reason to panic. Chances are still very good
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott and their fellow conference leaders get this thing worked out. “There will be something for everybody,” BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said after the last get-together in Chicago, “but there won’t be everything for anybody.” And deadlines might not be so firm. In a perfect world, Wednesday’s meeting would produce a fairly detailed plan to be
presented to the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee when it meets on June 26 in Washington. In that perfect world, the presidents would sign off on a plan that day and everyone could head for summer vacation knowing that at least the where and the when of the new format. That would set the table for television negotiations in the fall. Nothing about the Bowl Championship Series has Please see BCS | 9A

Kossuth senior Heath Wood was named Player of the Year in Division 1-3A. Two other Aggies — John Mitchell and Tyler Nelms — as well as Alcorn Central’s Trae Bain earned top billing in the five-team league.
Aggies headline All-Division team BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Kossuth’s domination in Division 1-3A baseball carried over. The Aggies, who won their first North State title in 2012, had three players earn top billing on the annual All-Division team. Heath Wood headlined the five-team league as Player of the Year. Tyler Nelms shared Pitcher of the Year honors with Belmont’s Zach Carpenter, while John Mitchell
1-3A title. Wood batted an even .400 for the Aggies, going 40-of100 at the plate. He led the club in average, hits, runs (35) and stolen bases -- swiping 28 of 30 attempts. The shortstop committed just four errors in 108 chances, recording 40 putouts and 64 assists in the process. His one appearance on the mound in 2012 resulted in a two-hit, eight-strikeout, fiveinning shutout. Nelms finished 7-3 with
two saves and a stellar 1.80 ERA. He tossed five complete games, including three shutouts, and limited opposing batters to a .180 average with 46 hits in 255 at-bats. The righty recorded 114 strikeouts, including six double-digit efforts in 13 appearances, in 74 innings of work. Mitchell fielded at a .934 clip with 27 putouts, 44 assists and just five errors in 76 chances. He made 13 appearPlease see AGGIES | 9A
No time to rest for Alcorn State’s Hopson The Associated Press
LORMAN — Tucked inside the Davey L. Whitney HPER Complex on the Alcorn State campus, Jay Hopson — just a week removed from being named the school’s new head football coach — is still getting situated into his cramped corner office. A few dated magazines adorn a table perched in front of an equally worn couch. From his desk, there is no
sprawling view of campus or the stadium. In fact, there’s no view whatsoever. The office doesn’t have windows. Just concrete. For Hopson, the Vicksburg native who recently became the first white head football coach in the history of the Southwestern Athletic Conference — a league comprised of historically black colleges and universities — it’s home.
And there’s no place like home. That’s why Hopson, a former assistant coach at nine schools, now finds himself at Alcorn. It’s why he felt compelled to say ‘Yes’ to taking over a program that has won a total of just 14 games since 2007. ‘Yes’ to a program with sagging facilities, ‘Yes’ to a program with an athletic budget that has ranked among the
lowest in the SWAC. ‘Yes’ to this cramped corner office void of windows. Despite the national attention his hiring spawned, he doesn’t see himself as a trailblazer, just a football coach. “To me it’s a job and it’s a job we want to be successful at,” Hopson said.

NEW YORK — Acquitted in court, Roger Clemens must wait a half-year before finding out whether he cleared his name in the minds of Hall of Fame voters. Standards for conviction are clear in court, less so in baseball, where Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro have been bypassed for the
Hall thus far despite distinguished careers. “I think the voters have already spoken, with McGwire and Palmeiro. I don’t see him getting into the Hall of Fame as a first-year eligible,” said ESPN reporter/analyst Tim Kurkjian, who plans to vote for Clemens. Clemens was acquitted Monday in federal court in
Washington, D.C., on six counts that he lied and obstructed Congress when he denied using performanceenhancing drugs. “I think everybody believes he was guilty in some form or fashion,” said John Harper of the New York Daily News, who doesn’t plan to vote for Clemens. “I think that’s the real issue as far as voters go.
I know that’s an issue for me.” Rusty Hardin, Clemens’ defense attorney, said his client never fixated on whether or not he would gain admission to the Hall. “You know, the Hall of Fame thing, that’s always been other people’s concern,” Hardin said Tuesday mornPlease see CLEMENS | 9A

ever been perfect, of course, so don’t be surprised if the commissioners leave Chicago with things unsettled. And remember, the commissioners have said that deciding how the teams are picked is not even a priority right now. After bolting a bit early from last week’s meeting, Scott told reporters the commissioners would present the presidents with “options — plural.” That comment set off a small firestorm and concerns that Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman, Florida President Bernie Machen and the 10 other university leaders on the oversight committee would be left to hammer out details. That’s not happening. More likely is the commissioners will hand over a recommended plan, plus the other option — or two — that was given serious consideration. The presidents are the bosses, and the commissioners want to show proper deference. “Ultimately, our presidents decide,” Scott also said. All signs point toward the major bowls being involved in some way as the setting for national semifinals and the championship game to be bid out like the Super Bowl.

a great pitcher, that’s good enough for him. If the writers decide to put him in the Hall of Fame, that’s fine. If they don’t, that’s their call. This guy is one of the best people who happen to be also a great pitcher that I’ve ever known.” Clemens, Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa all will be first-

he is today can be traced back to that stretch of road. It was at Warren Central High School that he met his wife, Michelle. He was a junior, she a sophomore on that first meeting. They both went to the University of Mississippi and continued to date as Hopson hopped from graduate assistant stops at Florida, LSU and Tulane. It wasn’t until 1997, after Hopson had secured his first full-time coaching job at Marshall that he got around to asking her to marry him. “That shows you how bad I am,” Hopson said. “I was trying
to be thorough. “Some of these players get love sick sometimes and I say, ‘Look, if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” Hopson’s eyes then widen in a “You’re-not-going-to-believethis” sort of way when recalling Saturday mornings spent on Lum Wright’s farm. Wright, the longtime head football coach at Warren Central, where Hopson played football, basketball and baseball, would watch Hopson on weekends when his parents left town. It was a 37-acre plot of land filled with never-ending chores: baling hay, feeding chickens,
roofing and plowing. “Living with Coach Wright was tough,” Hopson said. “You had to wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning. He’d have you up at 5 o’clock in the morning chopping wood and feeding chickens. “You looked forward to your parents getting home.” He credits those Saturday mornings — and “growing up on both sides of 61” — as molding him into the young man who eventually earned a football scholarship to Ole Miss. He grew up surrounded by friends, some white, most black.
HOPSON CONTINUED FROM 8A
Hopson worked under on two different occasions, said Hopson was often times “a nervous wreck” before games and “very intense,” come kick off. Off the field, Hopson speaks with an easy-going drawl befitting a back porch on a breezy summer night. He grew up in Vicksburg, just 40 miles north of Alcorn’s Lorman campus. It’s a straight shot down U.S. 61, a strip of pavement cut into the hills of southwest Mississippi that connects the two communities. For Hopson, so much of who

D
ale Earnhardt Jr. blew away the field at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, ending a four-year, 143race losing streak and setting off debate on just what his victory means to him and to the sport of NASCAR racing. Some, including NASCAR president Mike Helton, are saying that Earnhardt is now a favorite to win the championship this year. His stats, even before the Michigan victory, indicate that he’s good at gathering points even on days when he isn’t riding a winning car. He leads all Cup drivers with 12 top-10 finishes this season and he’s second in the standings, just four points behind Matt Kenseth. Kenseth told reporters that he’s pretty sure that Earnhardt is happy to put behind him a long and much-discussed losing streak. “I don’t know what it means for him personally on it to get that win, but I know that even if he acts like it isn’t, it was probably a burden having all your fans talking about you and writing stuff about you not winning,” he said, adding that the way Earnhardt’s been running this year, the win was only a matter of time. “That 88 [Earnhardt’s team] has had a ton of speed and hasn’t always got the finishes, but they have been battling in the top five each week. You could just see they kept knocking on the door, and [Sunday] they were able to kick it down and dominated the race pretty good.” And Kenseth said he wouldn’t dispute the notion that Earnhardt, who was a fellow
Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Quicken Loans 400. (NASCAR photo) Cup rookie with him back in 2000, is a threat to win the title. “I think they are definitely a contender,” he said. “They have been in the mix each race no matter what size or shape of race track. I think they are, at this point in the season, one of the favorites.” Tony Stewart, runner-up at Michigan, didn’t appear to be in the mood to talk about the big day for the Junior Nation when he made his stop in the media room after the race. “It’s not a national holiday, guys,” Stewart said of Earnhardt’s win, even though it did come on Father’s Day. “This morning, they were celebrating his fourth anniversary of his last win, so I guess we are all in a state of mourning now because he’s broke that streak now, so I don’t know what we are all
supposed to think.” For his part, Earnhardt seemed to be relishing the praise from his peers. “I guess it means I’m an all-right dude,” he said with a chuckle. “When people are happy for you, they want to see you do good. “That’s the way I feel about people; I want to see good people do good things, and I want to see people that I think are good people have success and be happy.” Earnhardt seemed more excited about his dominant victory, one in which he led five times for 95 laps including the final 30, than relieved that his losing streak was over. Even before he won, he told reporters at Michigan that he didn’t believe the media has harped too much on his losing streak. “It hasn’t been that incessant,” he said. “I feel like it’s just a realistic inquiry, and I feel pretty comfortable answering that question.” Earnhardt said he tried to be honest with his answers, and there’s general agreement in the garage that he was just that. “I feel like I’ve told you how terrible we might have been and why we weren’t winning or how close we are and that it’s right around the corner,” he said. “I’m just telling you my gut feeling. But I don’t feel like you guys [media] have asked the question too many times, because I think that if you weren’t asking that kind of question, I’d be a little worried that nobody gives a dang when you’re going to win … “There are other things about finishes and weekends and what happens to you on the race track that can bother you way worse than that to keep you up at night.”
Joey Logano’s racing future, rather murky a few weeks ago, is looking much more promising of late, especially after he won the Nationwide Series race at Michigan International Speedway. It was his fifth Nationwide win of the season and his fourth in the past five Nationwide races. During that stretch, he also scored an impressive Sprint Cup victory at Pocono. “We are just on a roll right now, both on the Cup and Nationwide side,” Logano told reporters after his Nationwide win. “This team is absolutely great, and we are clicking on all levels, from at the shop to at the track. “I’ve had a lot of confidence in myself lately, and my abilities and knowing what I can do with a race car. I feel like I’m feeding my crew chiefs the best information, and they’re doing the best job they can do to make the best race cars for me.” Logano’s Nationwide success comes after Kyle Busch, who had dominated the series in the car Logano is now driving, cut back on his Nationwide driving. Busch has made seven Nationwide starts in a car fielded by his Kyle Busch Motorsports team this year, but has yet to add to his career win total of 51. Logano wasn’t as fortunate in the Cup race on Sunday. He ran in the top-five early in the race, but was knocked out in a crash and finished 35th. But he said he and his team can bounce back. “We still have a lot of momentum going,” he said. “We are still running strong and bringing very Joey Logano fast cars to the track. We (NASCAR photo) will just put this behind us and go on to Sonoma and keep moving forward. There is still plenty of time, and we are still in a great position to get ourselves into the Chase and that is what we are focused on doing.” Officials from Joe Gibbs Racing told ESPN reporters at Michigan that they intend to keep Logano under contract.
Frustration, regrets after loss Nationwide Series driver Michael McDowell finished seventh at Michigan in Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 20 Toyota, but he told reporters afterward that he should have done better, but didn’t get the right chassis setup under his car. “I got us messed up in practice, and I didn’t realize it until the start of the race,” he said, adding that the fact that his teammate Joey Logano won the race only added to his disappointment. “It’s kind of frustrating when your teammate is in victory lane, and you know you have a car that can do it,” he said. McDowell has a chance to redeem himself Saturday at Road America, where last year he dominated the race and was in position to win with four laps to go. He wound up spinning during a bizarre sequence of events that ended with Reed Sorenson scoring a surprising victory.
Father’s Day gift for crew chief Chad Johnston, crew chief on the No. 56 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr., had a Father’s Day weekend to remember. His wife Stacey gave birth to Chase Allen Johnston on Friday night. He weighed in at nine pounds and 20.75 inches long. Johnston remained in Mooresville, N.C., while Scott Miller, Michael Waltrip Racing’s executive vice president of competition, filled in for him at Michigan. Truex finished 12th and remains seventh in points.

Drivers battle tire wear on repaved Michigan track Before Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove to victory in the Quicken Loans 400, the big stories at Michigan International Speedway were the speeds on the newly repaved track and the tire wear that resulted. After 19 drivers qualified at better than 200 miles per hour, led by pole-sitter Marcos Ambrose, who ran 203.241 mph, and some blistered tires, Goodyear switched the left-side tires to a harder compound manufactured in 2006 and 2007. Teams were given an added practice
session on Saturday and the new left tires cut speeds dramatically. Still, blistered right-side tires were an issue on Sunday. “I am a little disappointed because we couldn’t run the car as hard as we needed to,” said fourthplace finisher Greg Biffle. “The right rear kept coming apart on us. I could only run it as hard as I could.” Earnhardt initially didn’t like the way his car drove on the new left tires, but he and his team were able to overcome the change in the car’s
handling. “I felt like we might be getting ready to have a difficult race,” he said. “It turned out to be the exact opposite for whatever reason … “We got to put on a race today without any problems, without any tire problems, so I assume that everything is OK. “We’ll probably have to tire test here again and figure out something a little bit better than this, because this definitely ain’t the answer.”

Looking for rock ’n’ roll pot of gold in Los Angeles Rock of Ages, PG-13, ***1⁄2, Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti; Warner Bros. film; Director Adam Shankman; length — 123 minutes “Rock of Ages” is set in the late 1980s where a place called Bourbon Room in Los Angeles caters to young people singing the music flavor of the day. The movie begins with Sherrie (Julianne Hough) leaving Oklahoma on a bus to the Sunset Strip in California. Of course, she is mimicking “Lodi” by Creedence Clear Water Revival: “Seeking her fame and fortune looking for a pot of gold” ... leaving a small town on a bus in order to become a famous singer.
Those who grew up with Rock and Roll will enjoy the music and Terry lyrics of Burns “Rock of Ages.” The Movie Critic movie, a musical, begins on the bus with Sherrie singing and all the passengers joining in on the fun. When she arrives in Los Angeles she immediately meets Drew (Diego Boneta) also a would-be singer. Drew works at the Bourbon Room, where he is a waiter, and a singer seeking his fame and fortune. He helps Sherrie get a job as a waitress there. The Bourbon Room is owned by Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) and
Lonny (Russell Brand). Sherrie and Drew hit it off, but soon fame and a misunderstanding causes a storm on the horizon. “Rock of Ages” is a nostalgic trip back to those days of yesteryear in dark clubs with sticky floors and people dancing erratically to the loud music bouncing off the walls. Audiences will hear oldies but goodies such as “I Love Rock N Roll,” “Sister Christian,” “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and the list goes on. Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) is a drugged-out, scotch-drinking wild man. He delivers a great performance as an artist lost in fame and fortune. Cruise nails his part as a rock star. Jaxx has a gig at the

Only one another person seemed to think this line in the movie was funny: Stacee’s agent Paul (Paul Giamatti) tells him, “The reporter from Rolling Stone magazine is here to talk to you.” Stacee stands up from his stupor and asks, “Where is Mick?” Think about it.

“Rock of Ages” is a nostalgic trip back to those days of yesteryear in dark clubs with sticky floors and people dancing erratically to the loud music bouncing off the walls. the cover of the Rolling Stone. “Rock of Ages” follows the lyrics of “On the Cover of Rolling Stone” by Dr. Hook and “Life’s Been Good to Me” by Joe Walsh. It also takes viewers to other establishments on
the Sunset strip known to some as dens of iniquity, but to me as places of art and culture. “Rock of Ages” shows what goes on behind the scenes of rock n roll, and the frenzy that takes place during the concerts. I recommend the movie for rock ’n roll fans along with those who followed the culture as rock music’s evolution developed. (Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System.

Some helpful advice for graduates from a ‘wise old owl’ After graduates were honored during Farmington Baptist Church services recently, Lanie King spoke about her upcoming missionary work in New York. That didn’t leave but about 15 minutes for Bro. Tim Nall’s message. I told him — jokingly — that I got more out of those few minutes than I do some of his full-length sermons. He spoke to the graduates about starting the next chapter of their lives -- of their goals and dreams. “Whether you’re 18 or 58,” he said, “You need to think about the next chapter of your life.” Since my chapters are already several years past 58, I started think-
Sue Bronson Down Home
ing about all those unfinished p r o j ects, days wasted, dreams, and especially plans I had for after retire-
ment. Retirement didn’t go as planned. July 31 of last year was my last day of work at the Daily Corinthian. That night, Hubby Wade and I talked of plans and trips now that I had time and his health had improved. The next day he was taken to the Tupelo hospital, went into a coma that night and died 14 days later.
God, family and friends have been there for me as I’ve adjusted. Many pages of that chapter have come up blank as it seems I’ve just been drifting. That Sunday morning found me in my back pew, eyes closed, head bowed, asking God for guidance in completing my remaining chapters. My existing life book is certainly not a best-seller, but it’s been a good one. It contains its share of despair along with some interesting highlights. There are certain pages I’d like to tear out, but once written, can’t be extracted or even edited. I may not be able to go back for a rewrite, but I will be working toward a better ending — for what I hope is a nice thick book.

When you have an adventure or experience not on the list, don’t hesitate to add it just to mark it off. Graduates, you’ve finished your first chapter, so it should just be getting interesting. Here are a few suggestions from this “wise old owl” that may help to fill each page to capacity. ■ Don’t be afraid to change direction in midstream. Most people’s plans change after they get out in the real world. ■ Study and work hard to be the best at what you decide to do. It helps to
do what you love or at least learn to love what you do. Also take time to have fun. ■ Be honest — not only to everyone else, but to yourself. ■ Be a true friend and you will have true friends. There will be many acquaintances, but true friends are rare, so cherish them. ■ Love unconditionally and don’t be afraid to say “I Love You.”
■ Be adventurous. Travel to places of different cultures — with an open mind. ■ Make a bucket list now while you’re young and add throughout the years. Nothing is too trivial or too big to include. When you have an adventure or experience not on the list, don’t hesitate to add it just to mark it off. ■ Last, but most important — Keep God in your life and ask Him for guidance. He answers all prayers, but don’t be surprised if sometimes the answer is “no.” Trust Him.

State counts how many lack ID under voting measure BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press
JACKSON — Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said this week he’s trying to tally how many people in Mississippi lack the type of photo identification that might eventually be needed to vote. In last November’s election, 62 percent of Mississippi voters approved a constitutional amendment that would require voters to show a driver’s license or other form of photo ID at the polls. House Bill 921, passed this spring by the GOPcontrolled Legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, aims to put the mandate into law. Because of Mississippi’s
history of racial discrimination, it is required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act to get federal approval for any changes in election laws or procedures. Such approval is not guaranteed. In recent months, the Justice Department has rejected ID laws from Texas and South Carolina, amid concerns that they would dilute minority voting strength. Hosemann and other supporters of voter ID say it will prevent people from masquerading as others to cast ballots. Opponents say there’s little evidence that such things are happening. Opponents also liken voter ID to poll taxes that were used for decades to suppress black citizens’
constitutional right to vote. To get past that comparison, supporters said that if ID cards are provided for free by the state, it’s not possible to draw parallels between an ID mandate and a poll tax. The Mississippi bill says anyone without proper identification can get a state-issued photo card at no cost, though no money was set aside to make them during the fiscal year that begins July 1. Hosemann said that he’s asking people to let his office know if they need ID. “We want to ensure everyone who needs a voter ID receives one when the requirement is approved,” Hosemann, a Republican, said in a news release.

Lightened up for summer Chicken salad hits the grill and gets healthy BY ALISON LADMAN
L
Associated Press
ike many summer favorites, chicken salad has all the makings of a refreshing, light meal... except for all that mayonnaise. An easy way to lighten it up is to switch it out for our favorite creamy substitute, nonfat plain Greek yogurt. We also opted to grill the chicken, an easy way to pump up the Àavor while adding virtually no fat. For this recipe, we freshened up our salad by adding some berbere, an Ethiopian spice blend that can feature any number of seasonings, but often includes ginger, cardamom, garlic, cumin and chilies. If you can’t ¿nd it or you prefer something a little more tame, switch it out for another spice blend, such as curry powder or Italian seasoning. For even more Àavor and some textural contrast, we added chopped Peppadew peppers. You usually can ¿nd these alongside the olives at the grocer. Cherry peppers also would work. After some chopped fennel bulb, a handful of toasted almonds and some grapes, we were ¿nished. We like to serve this salad stuffed in whole-wheat pita pockets with salad greens, but you also could spoon it over a bed of greens for a hearty salad.

Hit the grill with sweet dessert pizza BY ALISON LADMAN Associated Press
For a summer celebration, dessert has got to be easy and easy going. And if you’re making the rest of your meal on the grill anyway, why not use it to prep dessert, too? This dessert pizza is incredibly quick and versatile. Top it with whatever sweet treats you like, or consider making individual ones and having a dessert pizza bar.
Grilled dessert pizza Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 6 1⁄4 cup turbinado or demerara sugar, divided 16-ounce ball refrigerated pizza dough Canola or vegetable oil 1⁄2 cup semisweet chocolate bits 11⁄2 cups chopped fresh strawberries 3⁄4 cup flaked coconut
Tangy grilled chicken salad Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 4 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts Salt and ground black pepper Canola or vegetable oil 1 to 2 teaspoons berbere seasoning 5.3-ounce container nonfat plain Greek yogurt 1⁄2 cup chopped Peppadew peppers 1⁄2 bulb fresh fennel, trimmed and diced 1 cup red grapes, halved 1⁄4 cup slivered, toasted almonds 4 small whole-grain pita pockets 2 cups salad greens
Tangy grilled chicken salad is made with non-fat Greek yogurt.
Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the meat to an even 1»2 inch thickness. Season with salt and black pepper. Soak a crumpled paper towel with the oil. Clasping the paper
towel with tongs, oil the grates of the grill. Grill the chicken breasts for 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked and reaches 165 F. Set aside to cool, then cut into small chunks. In a large bowl, combine the berbere with the yogurt,

Heat a grill to medium-high. Scatter half of the sugar on a counter top. Place the pizza dough over the sugar and roll out into the sugar. Sprinkle the top of the dough with the remaining sugar, then roll again to press the sugar into the top. You should have a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet, then head out to the grill. Use an oil-soaked paper towel held with tongs to oil the grill grates. Transfer the pizza dough directly onto the grates. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until cooked and lightly browned. Return the crust to the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle the chocolate bits over the top. Wait 1 minute to allow the chocolate to melt, then use a butter knife or silicone spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with the chopped strawberries and the Àaked coconut. Enjoy warm.
An easy blend of iced tea and lemonade for summertime BY ALISON LADMAN Associated Press
Lemonade and iced tea are two of the most refreshing summer beverages. Mixed together they offer the best of both beverages. This punch uses a base of black and mint teas combined with freshly squeezed citrus juices and a touch of sugar to create the perfect barbecue accompaniment.

Happily married gay man wants to contact ex-wife DEAR ABBY: I married “Linda” 22 years ago. Three years later, the marriage was over. After our divorce, I came out as gay. I met a wonderful man in 1996, and we were married in Iowa in 2009. Over the years, I have wondered how Linda was getting along. I’d like to get back in touch with her. At one time we lived only a few miles from her. I drove by her home, but lost my nerve when I saw her father standing outside. Family members discouraged me from attempting to contact her after our split. I heard a few weeks ago that Linda has remarried, although I’m not sure how long ago. Obviously, I have no
desire to rekindle a romance. I’m happily married and assume Abigail she is, too. Van Buren I would like to talk Dear Abby with her, but I don’t know if it would be a mistake. I have considered contacting her via a third party. What do you think? -- LINDA’S EX IN COUNCIL BLUFFS DEAR EX: Before reaching out you need to ask yourself what you would gain by making contact, and equally important, what Linda would gain. If she blamed herself for the failure of
the marriage, contact with you might be reassuring. If you realized your true sexual orientation only after the divorce, then telling her might relieve any guilt you have about it. But only you -- not I -can make this decision. DEAR ABBY: I am writing to protest something that has made shopping increasingly frustrating. I’m referring to rude people who cut in ahead of customers who have been standing in line when the clerk calls out, “Next, please.” I place the responsibility solely on store management to ensure that lines move smoothly and fairly. Stores that have such arrangements are more likely to get my business.
Management must empower clerks to insist on fairness in this regard. I have seen too many weak salespeople accept whoever rushes forward first. I’m sure that many other readers have experienced the same frustration I have. If you print this, I promise I will copy it and send it to the store management where I’ve had these experiences. Abby, this would be a great service to shoppers and would make shopping much more pleasant for everyone. -- AVERAGE SHOPPER, OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR AVERAGE SHOPPER: Unfortunately, most cashiers are usually so preoccupied with ringing up or scan-
ning and bagging the purchases that they can’t concern themselves with the occasional line-jumper. Therefore, it’s up to you to assert yourself by saying firmly, “Excuse me, but I was next in line” when someone steps in front of you. DEAR ABBY: My husband is undergoing a yearlong cancer treatment. Recently, his brother told him he had two friends who have died of the same cancer that he has. My husband, who is already depressed from the medication he’s on, became even more depressed. One day, we ran into another friend of ours, who shared in great detail her nephew’s long and
traumatic battle with cancer. When she left we felt shattered. Abby, please remind people to be sensitive to those who are dealing with an illness and to refrain from sharing horror stories. We need hope and encouragement. -- DISGUSTED IN PHOENIX DEAR DISGUSTED: I’m glad to help you spread your commonsense message. All it takes is a moment to think before you speak. (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.)
momentum. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 20). Love grows, and you become increasingly attracted to the one
you spend the most time with this year. July brings an exciting trip. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 29, 31, 44 and 19.
Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Follow the muses, listening intently to all they whisper in your ear. Befriending your inspiration is important. You’ll develop this special relationship to a fuller extent today. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you were asked to describe your life, only happier, how would that look? You’ll feel compelled to make the adjustments that point you in a joyful direction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some questions show kind interest in what another person is up to. Other questions feel more like prying and can be defused with vague, noncommittal answers. You have a right to your privacy.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The one in charge isn’t perfect and, in fact, may do rather annoying things today. It would be unwise to draw attention to any breach of the rules. It takes self-control to show deference to authority. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Happiness is not automatically granted to you; rather, it’s a choice you sometimes have to work a bit to accomplish. Emotional work doesn’t look like other kinds of work, but it’s just as strenuous as physical endeavors. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Distance has a way of warping perception. You may think life is moving fast, but to another person who is very far away, your progress seems minimal. The
most accurate judge is someone close to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are tantalizing offers out there, but they won’t be readily passed out to everyone who looks in need of an opportunity. Only the seekers who take action will be rewarded. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one who drifts in and out of focus when it’s your turn to get attention can be invalidating to your spirit. You offer excellent attention and should expect the same from others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). When there’s a question of who will go first, your trailblazing nature has you boldly moving forward. It’s like you were designed for adventure. Others will be
relieved to have someone to follow. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Not everything has to be a group affair, and you definitely need your alone time. But meals shared with loved ones offer a precious opportunity to feel like a part of a group. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The rules get somewhat iffy, and much will be left to your own judgment. One way to check yourself is to ask, “What would this scene be like if everyone were doing as I’m doing?” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Once you come to a conclusion, accept it and go forward. Try not to doubt yourself, because you’ll waste valuable time and energy that could be spent creating
ARE YOU AT RISK FOR SKIN CANCER? 1. About 90% of non-melanoma skin cancer is caused by ultra-violet exposure.
The UV rays of the sun are responsible for most non-melanoma skin cancers. Unprotected exposure to these rays can come from being outdoors, lying in tanning beds, and even having exposure through your car or home windows.
2. One person dies from melanoma almost every hour.
A common misconception is that you cannot die from skin cancer. Unfortunately, about 8,000 people will die of melanoma in the U.S. this year. It is estimated that 2,800 people will die of non-melanoma skin cancer this year as well. The sad thing is that most of these deaths could have been prevented by following easy skin cancer prevention methods.
3. Skin cancer accounts for nearly 50% of all cancers combined.
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer among men and women. Exposure to UV rays through natural and artifical means is the culprit. Since skin cancer is such a common type of cancer, it is advised that everyone examine their skin at home and undergo a yearly clinical skin exam by their doctor.
4. More than one million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 1.5 million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year, a number that is expected to continually rise. The culprit? Exposure to harmful UV rays from the sun and artificial means like tanning beds.
5. Skin cancer is most deadly for African Americans, Asians, and Latinos.
The risk of developing melanoma is rather low for African Americans, Asians, and Latinos, however this type of skin cancer is typically more deadly for these groups. You should know that all people are at risk of developing skin cancer, regardless of ethnicity.
6. One in Three Caucasians will be diagnosed with skin cancer.
One in five Americans will be diagnosed in their lifetime with skin cancer. The risk is higher for white individuals: one in three.
7. Just one bad burn in childhood increases the risk of developing melanoma later.
Protecting children against UV exposure is essential for healthy skin into adulthood. A single blistering sunburn during childhood increases the risk of melanoma as an adult.
8. Men are diagnosed with skin cancer more often than women.
Did you know that men are twice as likely to develop skin cancer than women? In fact, skin cancer is more common than prostate cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer in men over 50. This makes skin cancer the most common type of cancer in men over 50.
