Gravel parking lots still issue for city BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Complaints about a graveled restaurant parking lot on Harper Road came to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday. Debbie Kennedy, Gwen Essary and Johnnie Lovett, em-

ployees of Holder Accounting, voiced concerns about dust coming from the neighboring parking of Lloyd’s Harper Road Cafe at the corner of Harper Road and Third Street. The women said they are fans of the food at Lloyd’s but not fans of their cars being con-

tinually dusty. They also noted that some restaurant customers park at the accounting business to avoid parking on the graveled lot. The women asked if the parking lot can be paved. Last year, the Board of Aldermen granted a variance to the paving re-

quirement when the restaurant owner, Lowell Gann, began an expansion. The land on which the restaurant sits is owned by Bailey Williams. Street Commissioner Jim Bynum said he tried unsuccessfully to encourage Williams to pave the lot to improve its

appearance. Gann said he cannot afford to pave it, and “I’m kind of stuck in the proverbial middle here.” The restaurant owner said he also struggles with the dust, which increased with the recent Please see PARKING | 2A

Blaze destroys house BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A home in northeast Alcorn County was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. The Farmington and Wenasoga fire departments responded to 16 County Road 192 about 2 a.m. and found the home engulfed in flames when they arrived, according to Farmington Fire Chief David Boren. The single-story home, estimated at 1,500 square feet, was a total loss. Boren said the cause of the fire was not known. Please see FIRE | 2A

Workers from Rebel Systems LLC install a fuel tank at the airport on Tuesday. This 8-foot diameter tank holds 12,000 gallons of fuel and weighs 22,500 pounds.

Airport project will provide easier access for fueling options BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Construction continues on a project that will enable more convenient access to fuel tanks at Corinth-Alcorn County Airport. The project involves moving an existing fuel tank to another location and installing a new one — as well as installing new equipment that will allow 24-

hour self-service fueling. “Planes will be able to pull up and get fuel by swiping a credit card just like you do at a gas station,” said Tommy James, service technician for Rebel Services LLC, the Ripley-based company in charge of the project. Funding for the fuel tank project was provided by a $131,000 MDOT Multimodal

Transportation grant that paid 99 percent of the construction costs. Construction should be complete within three weeks, once the pipe-fitting and electrical work is finished, James estimated. From ground breaking to completion, the project will have taken about three months.

The new fueling options will result in increased revenue for the airport, said Airport Operations Supervisor Donna Briggs. “This is major for the airport,” said Rebel Services owner Margie James. “It gives customers access to fuel on holidays or weekends. That means a lot when you’re on a cross-country trip.”

Breaking Grass records album #2 BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Breaking Grass — Northeast Mississippi’s award-winning bluegrass-based band — recently wrapped up recording work on their second album. Titled “Running With the Moon,” the new album features a dozen original tracks written by 26-year-old singer, songwriter and frontman Cody Farrar. The album was recorded in a week-long session at Dark Shadows Records in Goodlettsville, Tenn. While the new album is faithful to the band’s traditional bluegrass roots, the songs all have a personality of their own. “Every track on the album has a different feel,” said Farrar. “There’s a song for every-

body.” The new album covers a lot of ground. Songs include the up-tempo prison escape title track “Running With The Moon,” a tribute to Hank Williams called “Strings,” and the otherworldly “Witches of Harlan.” Musical styles vary from the Southern gospel of “Can’t Look Down” to honky tonk toe-tappers like “Carry on Carolina.” The mood or the record ranges from the opening death-ballad “Amongst the Stones” to the Old Time musical glee of “Oh, How I Love You.” While a release date has not been determined, Farrar said the album will be available sometime this summer.

Hattiesburg, Petal schools offer free meals Associated Press

HATTIESBURG — The Petal School District and the Hattiesburg Public School District are offering their sum-

mer meal program at no cost to children 18 or younger. Petal School District is also offering free dinner to children.

PARKING U.S. Highway 72 got a variance on the paving requirement last year. Owners of that business also said they could not afford to pave. Parking lot paving is an issue that has brought debate before the board on a number of occasions in the last few years. The ordinance requires paved parking for all new construction and renovations to existing buildings which exceed 50 percent of the property value in commercial, industrial and multi-family residential zones.

He said it would decrease the dust and eliminate the problem of gravel getting on the hiking and biking trail. Mayor Tommy Irwin said he will speak to the property owner about the issue, and “we’ll see where that takes us.” In addition to Lloyd’s, the Slugburger Cafe on

set at $10,000 by judge Steve Little. “Heroin is not something that we see a lot of in this area,” said Willis. “It has become more frequent in the last year as it comes into the area from Memphis and other surrounding cities.”

A veteran of Campus Country — Northeast Mississippi Community College’s country music performance ensemble — Sheffield is a talented multiinstrumentalist with a wide-ranging voice. The group’s wisdom comes from elder mem-

ber Thelton Vanderford, a 51-year-old banjo player from Corinth. Vanderford is a master of many stringed instruments and has a smooth baritone singing voice. He has played with several popular gospel groups over the years. The band’s two 17-yearold members are both already award-winning musicians. Zach Wooten was named the 2011 State of Mississippi mandolin champion. Tyler White released his first solo al-

bum at age 10 and is a Junior Fiddle Champion for three states.

The house was still smoldering and the department returned to the scene later Monday.

When should we stop legislating common sense? Plastic bags are bad for the environment. Sagging pants can be indecent. And texting while driving can put yourself and those around you at risk of harm or death. Certainly few people would argue that fewer sodas would make for a healthier society, less plastic bags would slow down the filling of landfills, people ought to pull up their pants and drivers ought to put down their cellphones. But at what point should we stop legislating safety and common sense? ... The evidence is overwhelming and damning when it comes to the dangers of secondhand smoke. Perhaps there is the case to be made for protecting non-smokers in public places from unwanted secondhand smoke. Likewise, the same argument could be made for texting while driving. The number of texting-related auto accidents and fatalities will only climb as generations who grow up with a cellphone in their hand age and get behind the wheel of a car. In Mississippi, state law says you must wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, which is clearly a law designed only for the safety of the biker. Ditto for seatbelts and drivers. So why not a law banning texting? And if not for the safety of the person with the phone in their hand, how about for the safety of the people driving down the road beside them? ... The heart of the matter is simply where does government ensuring the personal safety of its citizens end and government becoming a nanny state begin? It’s not an easy question, and that’s why these debates continue. We are a nation of freedom, so there is always the argument to be made that we should be free to make the decisions we want to make. ... Lawmakers will have to hash out whether or not these laws are a good idea. As for society, we can take steps to make them less needed. For one, we can educate people on the dangers of texting and driving — and drinking Big Gulps and using too many plastic bags. (The only “danger” in wearing sagging pants is a possible public indecency charge if you sag too low or the danger you run of embarrassing yourself in public...) ... — The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson

UAW’s desperate push for members is telling STARKVILLE — Can the United Auto Workers unionize “Detroit South” — including Mississippi’s Nissan and Toyota auto manufacturing plants — as a last ditch effort to salvage the troubled union’s long-term financial fortunes? Prior UAW efforts to organize in Mississippi — a “right-to-work” state — have met with failure. The same has been true in most Southern states. The UAW lost union votes at the Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tenn., Nissan by more than twoto-one margins in 1989 and again in 2001. UAW organization efforts on at least two instances between 2005 and 2010 at the Nissan plant in Canton, Miss., have lacked sufficient worker interest for the union to even formally seek a vote. It’s difficult for the union to negate criticism that union contract demands contributed significantly to the near-collapse of all three U.S. automakers. General Motors and Chrysler received massive government bailouts and entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Ford avoided bankruptcy

The UAW had representation in place at one Southern auto plant. GM workers at the now-shuttered Spring Hill, Tenn., auto plant, formerly the manufacturer of Saturn cars until 2007, were represented by the UAW. GM now says it may reopen that plant in November. For some, word that U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson, DBolton, is supporting the right of auto workers in Mississippi to form a union if they choose is problematic. But a glance at Thompson’s career campaign finance records make that support understandable. Since 1989, the Center for Responsive Politics reports that Thompson has received $1.92 million from organized labor with $86,000 of that total coming from the UAW. Thompson, an unabashed pro-labor Democrat, never denied his support for organized labor in both the public and private sectors. The real factor behind the decision of the UAW to target the Nissan plant in Canton is the union’s desperate need for more members. Back in 1979, the United Auto Workers was a

powerful union of nearly 1.5 million members. Today, the UAW has some 380,719 members. After steady, plummeting declines in membership over the last 30 years, the UAW saw incremental membership gains in the one percent range last year as new workers came on board at the Detroit automakers enjoyed a 10 percent hike in U.S. auto sales. It was the second straight year of incremental membership gains after decades of steady union membership erosion. The UAW’s strategy of targeting “transplant” foreign-owned auto manufacturers is one that exposes Southern auto plants to the same market influences that helped turn much of old Detroit into a rusting ghost of America’s past industrial might. For in a complex global economy, unionized companies simply can’t react to market influences as nimbly as their non-union competitors. (Sid Salter is a syndicated columnist.

Ford also asked the feds for a $9 billion line of credit as a hedge against a worsening economy, but the company never accessed that funding. As U.S. automakers struggled and nearly failed over the last 30 years, foreignowned and non-unionized “transplant” automakers from Japan, Korea and Germany established “Detroit South” primarily in “rightto-work” states like Mississippi and achieved success with modern manufacturing equipment and techniques and without the fiscal burdens of union labor contracts.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about my attempt to become a vegan — that is to say, one who partakes neither of meat nor fish nor dairy. It’s not an easy life, I said. It seemed like a fairly noncontroversial thing to say, although I was sure that meat-eaters would respond with scorn and vitriol. As it turned out, I was wrong. Everybody responded with scorn and vitriol — meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and organic farmers, as well as people who think of Big Macs as health food. Where did I go wrong? Probably my worst mistake was admitting I cheated on my diet once in a while. Who doesn’t cheat on a diet, I asked myself. Vegans, apparently. “It’s not OK to cheat from the viewpoint of the dead abused animal you ate,” one woman wrote. “This includes fish that were suffocated to death.” You’re going to have to take my word on this, lady, but I never suffocated a fish in my life. Anyway, if you did it, wouldn’t the pillow get wet?

But the shots kept coming from all directions: The vegetarian: “Sorry but your arDonald ticle is filled Kaul with halftruths and Other Words distortions, the biggest one being that a vegan diet is healthier than a vegetarian diet.” The faith-based: “I know you are not only a weak, weak, weak person but you don’t know what it is you are really trying to do…You should start by reading your bible to find out.” The secular: “It really doesn’t help that the author put this in terms of ‘sin’ and ‘cheating.’” The environmentalist: “Did you know that 98 percent of pollution and destruction of habitat is caused by corporations and the rich?” The racial: “Strange how so many militant vegans always seem to be white.” The anthropological: “Humans are designed by evolution to eat meat. Your diet will lead to neurological

decline and an early death.” The counter-anthropological: “Wrong, wrong, wrong. Not designed by evolution but by Madison avenue, McDonald’s, and the meat industry.” The people who were commenting on my column at AlterNet.org just started arguing with each other about everything, pretty much without reference to anything I’d written. For example, the person who chimed in with “Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian” was immediately checkmated by someone who wrote: “Hitler was not a vegan and that’s what we’re talking about.” I felt as though I could steal out of the room at that point without anyone noticing, so I did. No one noticed. They may still be arguing for all I know. I found the experience dispiriting. There were nearly 300 comments posted in response to the column. As far as I could tell, not one betrayed so much as a hint of a sense of humor. Well, if that’s what it takes to be a vegan or a vegetarian, count me out. Life

without funny is too great a price to pay for good health. I mean, what’s the sense of going on a diet if you can’t cheat on it once in a while? A life without guilty pleasures is hardly worth living. Let me make myself clear, or at least try to. I’m not a committed vegan, even less one who seeks to change the way you eat. I am an experimental vegan who admittedly falls off the wagon from time to time. I’m trying to see if it works for me because I’ve seen the health improvements it can produce in others and I have several areas that need improvement. If you’re interested at all in the topic, I suggest you get the film “Forks Over Knives,” which is available on Netflix, or read “The China Study.” If you don’t find these arguments persuasive, no harm done. As for me, I’m going back to writing about something non-controversial, like politics. (OtherWords columnist Donald Kaul lives in Ann Arbor, Mich., otherwords. org)

State State’s ’11 economy Man executed for killing 4 children shrank 0.8 percent BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press

BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi dipped back into recession in 2011, with overall economic output shrinking 0.8 percent, according to federal figures released Tuesday. It was one of only six states where the economy contracted in 2011, along with Alabama, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Wyoming. Mississippi’s gross domestic product, all the goods and services produced by the private and public sectors, fell to $84.3 billion. That remained below the peak of $87.1 billion in 2007. The figures are measured in 2005 dollars to cancel out inflation. Mississippi’s economy was worth $97.8 billion in 2011 without the adjustment. “We knew we were close to recession, but to see that the numbers were negative, that was a little surprising,” said Marianne Hill, an economist for the state’s College Board. It was clear in the second and third quarters of 2011, though, that Mississippi’s economy was quite weak, based on the indicators that the College Board monitors. Many measures improved noticeably in the final three months of 2011. But payroll employment numbers remain basically flat compared to a year ago. In April, Mississippi was among seven states where payroll totals were lower than a year earlier. That raised the question whether

Mississippi remains in recession today. “I would say the growth rate would probably be under 1 percent,” Hill said. “I think slow growth is more likely than negative growth.” The state remains 70,000 jobs short of the pre-recession peak in payroll employment. Mississippi recorded the lowest per capita economic output among the states, at $28,293 per person in 2011, compared to a national average of $42,070. Mississippi lagged the nation in a wide range of economic sectors last year, but the biggest negative turned out to be the state’s agriculture, forestry and fishing sector. Output from farmers, loggers and fishermen fell enough to drive the state’s total output down by 0.46 percentage points. Clifford Woodruff, an economist for the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis, said that Mississippi farms didn’t see their revenues increase as much as farmers nationwide.

PARCHMAN — A Mississippi man convicted of killing four young nieces and nephews in a 1990 stabbing rampage was executed Tuesday, despite pleas from his two sisters to spare the brother who killed their children. Henry “Curtis” Jackson Jr. was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. CDT Tuesday after receiving an injection at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman, officials said. Clad in a red prison jumpsuit as he lay strapped to a gurney, Jackson was asked if he wanted to make a statement. “No, I don’t,” he responded as family members sat somberly in a nearby witness room. Jackson’s sister, Glenda Kuyoro, stifled a sob when she walked into the witness room earlier and saw her brother on the gurney. Jackson’s eyes were closed when the witnesses arrived and he never looked in the direction of his family.

Earlier, the 47-year-old inmate had spent the day receiving relatives, including one of the sisters whose two children were slain and who survived the stabbing attack. The slain children ranged from 2 to 5 and were killed as Jackson reportedly was trying to steal his mother’s safe while she was away at church, court records showed. Regina Jackson, the sister who survived five stab wounds the same night her children were killed, said she had forgiven her brother for the events of what she called “the most brutal night of my life.” “I loved my brother Curtis because of the person that he was â€” not for the man that he became that night. The devil entered into Curtis’ mind and persuaded him to destroy his family,” she said at a news briefing after the execution. Wearing a white tee-shirt with a photo of one child on the front and the other child on the back, she said she

had stayed in contact with her brother over the years. “I really and truly loved my brother and I forgave him for what he did to me and my children,” she said. Late Tuesday afternoon, Republican Gov. Phil Bryant declined to stop the execution though he said he was “deeply touched” by requests for clemency from the sisters and his brotherin-law. “There is no question that Mr. Jackson committed these heinous crimes, and there is no clear and convincing evidence that compels me to grant clemency,” Bryant said. His statement added: “One of these sisters was a stabbing victim, and both of the sisters are mothers of the murdered children. However, as governor, I have the duty to see that justice is carried out.” Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps said at a penitentiary briefing earlier Tuesday that the inmate acknowledged the crime and

was talkative as he received relatives. Regina Jackson met with the governor Monday and pleaded for her brother’s life. She also wrote Bryant a letter last month saying she “just can’t take any more killing.” “As a mother who lost two babies, all I’m asking is that you not make me go through the killing of my brother,” she wrote. Kuyoro and her husband, Andrew, also had asked Bryant to spare the inmate in a letter dated May 15. “We are the victims in this case, and we are begging you not to let Curtis be killed. You can keep him in Parchman forever, but please don’t put our family through this horrible execution,” the Kuyoros had written earlier.

said Sunday. Charles Estell, 38, was found early Sunday hiding in an air duct in an office next to the bank, according to Oak Lawn police spokesman Michael Kaufmann.

The Chicago man had allegedly robbed the suburban bank Saturday afternoon, and pointed a gun at bank employees who confronted him in the vault, according to the FBI.

NTSB: Deadly crash attributed tp fatigue WASHINGTON (AP) — A tour bus crash last year that claimed 15 lives was caused by a driver suffering from too little sleep and a bus company that provided too little safety oversight, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday. The five-member board, in a unanimous vote, said the driver, Ophadell Williams, had almost no sleep in the three days leading up to the March 12, 2011, accident except for naps he took on the bus while passengers were inside a Connecticut casino gambling. The bus was traveling at 78 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone of Interstate 95 while returning to New York’s Chinatown when it ran off the road, clattered along a highway guard rail, toppled over and crashed into the support pole for a highway sign. The pole knifed through the bus front to back along the window line, peeling the roof off all the way to the back tires. Besides those killed, 17 other passengers were injured, some severely. There was no sign that Williams attempted to brake or steer the bus back onto the highway after striking the guard rail, another indication his performance was degraded by fatigue, investigators told the board. They stopped short of saying Williams had fallen asleep. Williams has pleaded not guilty in New York to charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. Williams’ attorney didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. “For years, speed has been a factor in accidents. And, we’ve seen in investigation after investigation, the tragic results of the degraded performance from fatigue. Together, fatigue and speed are an especially

lethal combination,” NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said. She noted that driver fatigue was a factor in seven of the last 19 motor coach accidents the board has investigated. The circumstances of the New York accident were a “perfect storm” for creating driver fatigue, said Jana Price, an NTSB expert on human performance.

Senate GOP blocks equal pay bill WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans have blocked a bill that calls for equal pay in the workplace. As expected, the vote Tuesday fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation. President Obama and his Democratic allies argue that the legislation is needed to protect people who try to find out how their pay stacks up against their coworkers. Republicans said it puts too much burden on employers. The vote was the latest effort by Democrats to protect their lead among critical women voters this presidential and congressional election year. Republicans are focusing on the No. 1 concern for all voters: jobs and the economy.

US official: Al-Qaida No. 2 killed by drone WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. official says a drone strike in Pakistan’s northwest tribal region has killed al-Qaida’s secondin-command.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, says that no one left in al-Qaida comes

Romney’s (non) military record faces scrutiny SAN DIEGO (AP) — On a stage crowded with war heroes, Mitt Romney recently praised the sacrifice “of the great men and women of every generation who serve in our armed services.” It is a sacrifice the Republican presidential candidate did not make. Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a “minister of religion” in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused. The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and his lottery number was not called. President Barack Obama, Romney’s opponent in this year’s campaign, did not serve in the military either. The Democrat, 50, was a child during the Vietnam conflict and did not enlist when he was older. But because Romney, now 65, was of draft age during Vietnam, his military background — or, rather, his lack of one — is facing new scrutiny as he courts veterans and makes his case to the nation to be commander in chief. He’s also intensified his criticism lately of Obama’s plans to scale back the nation’s military commitments abroad, suggesting that Romney would pursue an aggressive foreign policy as president that could involve U.S. troops. A look at Romney’s relationship with Vietnam offers a window into a 1960s world that allowed him to avoid combat as fighting peaked. His story also demonstrates his commitment to the Mormon Church, which he rarely discusses publicly but which helped shape his life.

Court rejects new look at gay marriage ban SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court refused Tuesday to reconsider a landmark ruling by two of its member judges that struck down California’s ban on same-sex marriages. Backers of the ban, known as Proposition 8, petitioned the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in February to review the decision instead of appealing directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. Gay marriage opponents said at the time they would go to the high court if the appeals court declined to rehear the case. They have 90 days to do so. Same sex unions were briefly legal in California before voters passed Proposition 8 in November 2008. Due to the ongoing legal wrangling, it’s unlikely the practice will resume in the state anytime soon. The 9th Circuit said a majority of its 26 actively serving judges had voted not to revisit a three-judge panel’s 2-1 decision declaring the voter-approved ban to be a violation of the civil rights of gays and lesbians in California. The 9th Circuit does not often agree to rehear cases, a procedure known as en banc review. Federal court rules reserve the practice for appeals that involve “a question of exceptional importance” or if the original decision appears to conflict with Supreme Court or 9th Circuit precedents.

Momentum shift has Thunder on the brink The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Down and nearly out less than a week ago, the Oklahoma City Thunder are riding a momentum shift to the brink of the NBA finals. With three straight wins, the Thunder have changed the conversation from how anyone can stop the San Antonio Spurs’ record-setting 20-game winning streak to

how Oklahoma City needs just one win on its home court in Game 6 on Wednesday night to play for the NBA title. Hundreds of fans waited in the middle of the night for the Thunder’s plane to land after Game 5, and thousands more will pack Chesapeake Energy Arena to cheer Oklahoma City on. Yet coach Scott Brooks urged Tuesday

that riding the momentum isn’t enough to get the job done. “We have a great opportunity, we’re on our home floor but that doesn’t guarantee automatic victory,” Brooks said during a day off at the team’s practice facility. “They’re not going to give us the game. They’re not just going to say, ‘We’ve lost three in a row, we’re going to

give in.’ We know we have a tough challenge ahead.” Brooks stood near the same spot just a week earlier, surprised when a reporter told him that only 6 percent of NBA teams over the years had overcome an 0-2 deficit in a seven-game series. Now, his Thunder Please see THUNDER | 9A

MIAMI — Paul Pierce watched the shot sail just over LeBron James’ outstretched arm. And when it swished, he turned toward the Boston bench, shaking his head. The biggest shot of the night, for certain. And it put the Miami Heat in big trouble in these Eastern Conference finals.

Kevin Garnett finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds, Pierce scored 19 and the Celtics moved one win away from the East title by beating the Heat 94-90 on Tuesday night, taking a 3-2 lead in the series. James finished with 30 points and 13 rebounds for Miami, though he went 8 minutes without scoring in the final quarter. Dwyane Wade scored 27 for the Heat,

who got no more than nine from anyone else. Pierce’s 3-pointer with 53 seconds left put Boston up 90-86. Miami got within two points twice, and argued that it should have had a steal with 8.8 seconds left. Instead, a foul was called on Udonis Haslem, Garnett made two free throws, and the Celtics knew they had just stolen one on Miami’s home floor.

Game 6 is Thursday night in Boston, where the Celtics will try to clinch a trip to either Oklahoma City or San Antonio for Game 1 of the NBA finals. The title series starts June 12. The Celtics were down by 13 points in the second quarter, then down nine in the third, and answered both Please see CELTICS | 9A

ordinator with USTA Northeast Mississippi. “Children, parents, and grandparents can be found at the courts having fun and competing.” Mattox, who coached the first tennis team at Kossuth High School this past year, loves the opportunities available in tennis and strives to increase participation in the area. “These camps offer young people a chance to discover a sport that offers lots of scholarship potential and to improve their skills in a sport that can be played throughout their lives,” she said. “A lot of people are not aware that tennis is a good sport in which to pursue college scholarships. “Not only is tennis a fun sport for youth, but people of all ages also visit the local courts daily. My family is often among them. Tennis brings people together and offers a fun way to stay physically fit.” To help others find their own passion for tennis, U.S. Professional Tennis Association of Mississippi President Kevin Jackson of Tupelo and local USTA Tennis Pro Robert Hand shared their knowledge and skills through fun games that inspired students to improve their game. “They bring more than just their expertise to the courts,” Mattox said. “Their personalities are fun and inspire the campers to give it a try, laugh at their own mistakes, and learn something new or get even better. “The kids love the games they play and quickly become comfortable. They make sure all level of players find a place to fit in.” Others assisting with the camp include Northeast Mississippi Community College volunteer Jason Mattox and Corinth CocaCola volunteer Chris Porterfield. “Through volunteers, we are able to spend more time with each camper,” Mattox said.

THUNDER CONTINUED FROM 8A

could become only the 15th team to pull off the feat — and the eighth since 2004. “The percentages, you can’t really feed into that because you know that there’s always a chance,” Brooks said. “There’s 48 minutes to prove that you’re the better team that night, and we have an opportunity tomorrow night to do that again.” A series of defensive adjustments by Brooks helped turn the series, with 6-foot-7 Thabo Sefolosha switching onto

All-Star point guard Tony Parker in Game 3 the most visible change. The Spurs have been tinkering ever since to get back in the groove they’d been riding since midApril but instead have lost three straight games for the first time all season. Coach Gregg Popovich put sixth man Manu Ginobili in the starting lineup for Game 5, getting a playoff-best 34 points from the Argentine guard but disrupting the bench rotation in the process. He has also gotten DeJuan Blair back in the

mix after benching the former starter for the first part of the playoffs. “I think we have the right game plan,” Spurs All-Star Tim Duncan said. “We just need to play a little better for a little longer.” After being blown out by 20 in Game 3, the Spurs have lost the last two by a combined nine points and now must find a way to snap Oklahoma City’s seven-game home win streak. “It’s not that we have a Game 8 or 9 to recover, so it’s either win or go home,” Ginobili said. “So we have to. It’s our

job. So nobody is going to feel sorry about ourselves, we’ve just got to go compete. We know it’s hard to beat them there, but it’s what we have to do. We’ve got to step up and play the best game of the season.” Ginobili downplayed the changes in Xs and Os and said it comes down to making a couple key plays at the right time. For instance, Oklahoma City’s James Harden hit a clutch 3-pointer with the shot clock running down in the final 30 seconds of Game 5, and Ginobili missed a 3 that could have tied it with

that play, James looked gassed, gasping for air as he stood near the baseline. Those might have been the last gasps the Miami home crowd sees this season. Boston closed on a 22-12 run. Boston tied the game twice early in the third quarter, before Miami peeled off nine straight points to go up 59-50. Four players scored for the Heat during that quick burst, highlighted by Shane Battier’s corner 3-pointer and a lazy turnover from Rondo, who threw the ball into the backcourt without being pressured by any Miami defender. But just as they did in the first half when Miami looked poised to pull away, the Celtics rallied — and then some. A 15-1 run gave the Celtics a truckload of momentum going into the fourth. Garnett’s dunk while being fouled by James Jones with 1:32 left tied it at 60-all, and Pietrus’ long jumper on the next Boston possession gave

the Celtics their first lead of the night. The Heat shot 35 percent in the quarter, and Boston took a 65-60 lead into the final 12 minutes after Keyon Dooling connected on a 3-pointer from near the Miami bench with 2 seconds left. So another Game 5, another classic show. Given that it was the Celtics on one side and James on the other, few would have expected anything less.

Garnett’s jumper with 2:54 left put the Celtics back on top, and Mario Chalmers was assessed a technical foul after the play when referee Derrick Stafford whistled him for pushing Pietrus. Allen made the free throw for an 82-80 lead — but Chalmers, as if to atone, hit a 3-pointer on the next Miami possession for one lead change, followed immediately by another when Pietrus made a 3 at the other end.

about 5 seconds left. Switch those up, and the series looks different. “It is the first team to four wins, so there really isn’t anything to celebrate or get happy about until you win the series,” Thunder guard Derek Fisher said. “This team made it to the conference finals last year and I don’t think anybody was happy with the final result, so who cares if we are up 3-2 now? If we don’t finish our business, it does not mean anything and that has to be our mentality going into it.”

After all, if momentum swung once in the series, it could again. The Spurs hadn’t lost at home all postseason either — until Oklahoma City pulled off its win Monday night. “We don’t pound our chests, we don’t tell everybody how good we are,” Brooks said. “We feel that our worth is through our work, and if we continue to work hard and if we continue to play together, we’re going to have some good results. The expectations always have been there for us.” But never has the reality been so close.

CELTICS CONTINUED FROM 8A

times — prevailing on a night where they shot just 41 percent, and got outrebounded 49-39. Ray Allen and Mickael Pietrus scored 13 apiece for the Celtics, who got 10 from Brandon Bass. The Celtics came into Tuesday a perfect 8-0 in this situation — a Game 5 with series tied at 2-2 — with the core of Pierce, Garnett, Rondo and Allen. And some of James’ most memorable moments have come in Game 5s, like the epic 48 points where he just carried Cleveland on every possession down the stretch at Detroit in 2007, and the 120-88 loss to the Celtics in 2010, his last home game with the Cavaliers. This one offered more theater, of course. James hit a 3-pointer to give Miami a two-point lead with 8:10 left, closed out on Pierce to force an airball on the next possession, and eventually Miami pushed the margin out to 78-72 on a layup by Wade with 6:17 to play.

Veteran broadcaster retires from TV, not from racing I t’s often been said that for those who have driven race cars, nothing else in their lives ever quite measures up to the thrill of competing in an automobile race. It’s like an addiction with no antidote, and many a driver, even some of the all-time great ones, continue to hang onto the steering wheel long after their winning skills have left them. Dick Berggren, the longtime racing editor and broadcaster who retired from the FOX team after last Sunday’s race at Dover International Speedway, knows how those drivers feel. But he’s also managed to put together a remarkable career after his own driving days ended, and he’s not done yet. “I’m not retiring,” Berggren said. “I’m still heavily involved in Speedway Illustrated and also heading up a group intending to build a museum to capture history of New England auto racing that will be at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.” It’s a fitting project for a 70-year-old New England native who has carried on a lifelong love affair with auto racing, an affair that began when he was eight years old and his father took him to a race at Stafford Springs Speedway. “It was love at first sight,” Berggren said. “I walked in, and I just thought it was the most exciting thing I could have ever imagined, never mind seeing. “It just took hold, and it’s still got a hold on me.” Rice Brainard won that race, driving a cutdown car powered by a straight-eight Buick engine that overwhelmed the rest of the car, and young Dick anxiously awaited return trips to the track. “My parents figured out it was the way to control me as a child,” he said. “If they needed the lawn mowed, put Dick on the job and we’ll let him go to the races on Saturday night. “My childhood was doing things so I could earn the money to get admission to the speedway, doing things so my mom and day would take me to the speedway on the weekends.” As he got older, he began hanging around race shops, bumming rides to the tracks and planning on ways to get his own race car one day. He went from being a poor student in school to an excellent one, his thinking being that an education was the ticket to the funds needed to race. While in graduate school, he bought his first race car. “I got impatient,” he said. “I bought a car, and off I went.” He ran his first race at Stafford, the same track where he first saw a race. “I ran the last couple of races that were ever run there on the dirt, in 1965,” he said. “I was pretty awful. The second race I went into the wall and broke my hand. It’s the only bone I’ve ever broken in my whole life.” But his driving skills improved, and soon his racing life came to be in conflict with his academic life. He was teaching psychology at Emmanuel

NOTEBOOK

Dover sees multi-car pileup It took until the halfway point of the regular season, but the Sprint Cup Series finally had a major multi-car incident. It occurred on Lap Nine at Dover and involved 12 drivers. It was triggered by a collision between Tony Stewart and Landon Cassill that caused Regan Smith to hit Stewart from behind. The incident forced the race to be red-flagged for 20 minutes while workers cleared the track. “[Cassill’s] No. 83 was trying to get back down to the bottom, and we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” said Stewart, who returned to the track and finished 25th. “It wasn’t Regan’s fault. He was right behind us, and he didn’t have anywhere to go, either. “You get back there with some of those guys, and you’ve just got to be more patient. But, as far back as we started, I didn’t really have the luxury to be as patient as I would have liked to have been.”

Busch suspended for blowup

Dick Berggren (photo by Jeff Daly) College, at that time an all-women’s school in Boston. One weekend his racing schedule forced him to drive his ramp truck, with his mudcovered sprint car on back, to work on Monday morning. “I pulled into faculty parking lot and about 10 minutes later, there was a page: “Dr. Berggren, report to the president’s office.” The president informed him that dirt track cars wouldn’t be tolerated on campus. Berggren refused to park his rig on the street. Neither party budged, so at that point, he shifted to a full-time career in motorsports. “That was the end of my professional teaching career,” he said. Although most people know Berggren from his media roles, he also was a credit to the sport as a driver. Asked to rate himself as a driver, Berggren said: “In my best days driving a sprint car I was pretty darned good.” He wasn’t so good at other forms of racing, but the radical sprint cars suited his style. “If it was a really nasty, overpowered car that you could throw around and be violent with, I was really good,” he said. “I was no good with the kind of cars that you had to drive well to move up in almost any kind of professional racing. I was a terrible pavement driver. I wasn’t smooth.” A meticulous stat keeper in his media career, Berggren wasn’t that way about his own racing. He figures he won somewhere around 20 main events. “I never wrote any of that stuff down when it was going on,” he said. His broadcasting and magazine duties eventually began to take time away from his

driving, and he began to look forward to running celebrity events where he didn’t have to worry about preparing a car. It was in one of those events, at Boone Speedway in Iowa, that his driving days came to an end. It was the track’s biggest race of the year and fans had overflowed past the area where they were protected by guardrails. “I got to the end of the backstretch,” he said. “Somebody hit me in the back, turned the car, and I was headed to the pits. “I hit a dirt bank, and as soon as I did I saw people starting to scatter. I closed my eyes. I was always afraid I was going to hurt someone else driving a race car. When I landed, I was fortunate enough not to hit anybody or hurt anybody. “I decided right then and there, it was the most frightening thing I’d ever had happen to me in my life. I didn’t want to go through that again. I got out of the car and I never raced again.” He said he’s had second thoughts to this day, but he stuck with his decision and moved over to the media side of the sport on a fulltime basis. But like any other driver who no longer races, it’s just not quite the same for him. “Nothing has given me as much satisfaction as driving that sprint car when it was hooked up,” he said. “That’s been the best part of it. To step on the gas, see the front end pick up off the ground, pass people and see the checkered flag waving. You’re in front. You’re the big winner on a Saturday night at a local speedway. “That’s been the highlight for me, bigger and better than announcing as a part of the best announcing team that has ever been at the Daytona 500.”

Hendrick keeps momentum after milestone 200th win It took Hendrick Motorsports from last October at Kansas until last month at Darlington to go from career win No. 199 to 200, but since then the four-car team has been on an amazing roll. Jimmie Johnson won the All-Star race. Kasey Kahne won the CocaCola 600, and on Sunday, at Dover International Speedway, Jeff Gordon had the fastest car and Johnson rode the race winner. It was Johnson’s seventh Dover win in 21 tries and the 57th Cup victory of his career. He’s now tied with NASCAR Hall of Fame drivers Richard Petty and Bobby Allison for most wins at Dover. Johnson said in his post-race interview that he’s proud of the recent string of strong performances. “It’s nice to have the success right now because the last two years we have been working very hard in a lot of areas,” he said. “When you have success and continued success, you narrow down your focus in where you need to be. “I think things are very good for our company. We know the areas where we found some raw speed and now we are fine-tuning from there.” Gordon had the raw speed at Dover, but once again, as has happened so often this season, something out of his control took away

This time it was a loose left-rear wheel that forced an unscheduled pit stop that put him out of contention. He wound up 13th and moved up one spot to 21st in the points standings.

“It’s always more frustrating when you’ve got a car that can win, and you show it by going up there and taking the lead,” Gordon said. “We don’t care about finishing top 15 or top 10 right now. That does nothing for us. We need wins.”

NASCAR has suspended driver Kurt Busch one week and extended his probation until the end of the year after Busch cursed a reporter at Dover International Speedway last week. Kurt Busch, who was fined $50,000 last year after directing a profanity-laced tirade at broadcaster Jerry Punch, unleashed another burst at another member of the media after Saturday’s Nationwide Series race at Kurt Busch. (NASCAR photo) Dover. Sporting News reporter Bob Pockrass asked Busch if the fact that he is on probation for an incident at Darlington Raceway last month affected the way he raced with Justin Allgaier in Saturday’s race. The two raced hard early and had a spirited discussion after the race. “It refrains me from beating the [expletive] out of you right now because you ask me stupid questions,” Busch told Pockrass. “But since I’m on probation, I suppose that’s improper to say, as well.” Last year’s incident with Punch came just days before he and his then-car owner Roger Penske parted ways. This year, Busch is racing in Sprint Cup for maverick team owner James Finch and in Nationwide for his brother Kyle Busch. Busch issued the following statement: “I accept NASCAR’s decision. I put them in a box, they had to take action and it’s my fault for putting them in this position. I apologize for the comments I made to Bob Pockrass.”

Stenhouse: Crash ‘driver error’ Back-to-back bad finishes by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. have knocked him from the top of the Nationwide Series standings. Stenhouse, who is now second, and 12 points behind Elliott Sadler, finished 26th at Charlotte after problems with his driveshaft. Then he wrecked on Lap 27 at Dover and finished 32nd. “I just lost it,” Stenhouse said of his Dover crash. “I wasn’t up on the wheel and just kind of riding around until that competition caution and just got behind on the steering. It was driver error, totally my fault. We will have to go back, take a weekend off and get ’em at Michigan … “You aren’t going to have perfect races every week, but we will bounce back from this.”

Just a little bit fond of the tiny tot She came trotting along the road on her little lonesome, with the brisk and perky step of very small dogs. She had worry wrinkles in her forehead above her bright, black eyes, and she hesitated when she saw me zooming up on the bike, m o r n ing’s ride accomplished. (I enjoy Ryland that ride, a scant Bruhwiler two miles, Columnist just long enough to get me slightly sweaty, energized, and ready to tackle a yardwork project. One look at that tiny tot, and I thought, Uh oh. Toss that Do List. My priorities just got rearranged.) Rolled to a stop at our

mailbox, dismounted, stooped, and held out my hands. She’d backed up a few steps, but she hadn’t run, and as soon as I started making hellopuppy-c’mere chirps, she raced right into my arms. Big lick fest. Clutching that squirming armful, I managed to unlock the gate and wheel the bike inside and up the drive one-handed. Introduced her to my husband, who looked less than charmed, tucked her into a cat kennel with a bowl of dog chow, set it on the passenger seat beside me, and headed to the nearest neighbor’s house. No, not theirs. And not the next one’s. Or the next. Spent a good three hours driving up and down the roads, hopping out at each front door, leaving notes. She must have come from some-

‘Darkest Corner’ is gripping thriller BY JEFF AYERS Associated Press

“Into the Darkest Corner” (Harper), by Elizabeth Haynes: A young woman with a severe case of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) reflects on why she cannot feel safe anymore in Elizabeth Haynes’ gripping psychological thriller, “Into the Darkest Corner.” Catherine Bailey believes Lee Brightman is the perfect guy. He’s handsome, charismatic and attentive to her wants and desires. But when they start dating, Brightman begins to show signs of jealousy. Then he forces Bailey to submit to his will, both physically and psychologically. Her friends don’t believe her when Bailey tries to tell them about Brightman’s true nature. She tries to run, but he captures her. She is saved

from death at the last second, and he is sent to prison. Fast-forward three years as Bailey is trying to live her life without terror. Every night she spends several hours making sure her doors and windows are locked. Her upstairs neighbor has guided her in taking steps for counseling. Just when her mental state begins to change, she receives a phone call telling her that Brightman is being released from prison. The narrative switches between meeting Brightman for the first time and the relationship that follows, along with her life three years after Brightman was sent to prison. Haynes puts the reader into Bailey’s mind and the result is a grim, dark and extremely difficult story. The feelings of isolation and helplessness ooze off the page.

where -- unless, of course, some jerk just “dropped her off down the road,” a mean and cowardly practise I never heard of till I moved out to the country. Did not find her people, but enjoyed a number of impromptu visits. Said howdy to folks I’d never met face to face but whose homes I’ve passed 500 times. Got a chance to renew a few acquaintances. Took a break in the shade of their oaks with Glenn and Earlene, who sent me on my way with, not one, but two bags of veggies from their garden (including a head of cabbage with a dent in the top, for which they apologized, explaining that a wild turkey had given it a taste test). And with Shelby, who took me on a walk around her beautiful yard, asking if I could use a start of several

types of iris, or of a tall, blue salvia which I have never seen in any store, or all the hydrangeas I want if I’ll just bring a spade and dig them up. And so it went. Not quite the day I’d planned, but one I enjoyed. Maybe I should make up a new Lost Dog story every once in a while and go door-todoor, chitchatting with the neighbors. (Just kidding.) Unfortunately, I’m still looking for my tiny terrier’s home. The one she came from -- or for someone else who’d fall in love with this whippersnapper. In the interrim, I absolutely must not get too fond of June Bug. (Butterbean? Tater Tot?) But I can’t stop myself from trying out one name after another, waiting for one that sticks. (Teacup?

Cupcake?) We really, really, really do not need another dog. (Sassyfrass? Chicken Bone?) Our cats and chickens aren’t enchanted. They hiss and squawk and run. But she has my big guys eating out of her hand. Well, not exactly, but the lab actually lets her eat out of his bowl. Doberman won’t let her get away with that, but he’ll play with her for hours, stretched out on the ground so he’s sorta her size. She’ll actually take on the two of them at once, running and feinting, then zip back beneath a chair, or run away in a wide circle, dancing like a flea. They’re all three out in the pen right now. Firetruck rumbled by a while ago. The big guys set up an operatic ruckus, howl-

ing along with the siren. Suddenly I heard several squeaky yips. Little Bit adding her two cents. The wrinkled forehead gives her the worried look that some dogs have, and with those beady, jet black eyes, she looks a bit like a bat. But her ears are turned down and they jiggle when she walks, and her nose is not smushed. it’s perfectly pointy. She’ll never be a beauty. But she sure is cute. And better than cute. She has cute ways. And is so affectionate and smart. She has, of course, been Little Bit. Buddy. And Curious George. (Ryland Bruhwiler lives on a farm in McNairy County, Tenn.

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. To locate a Sherwin-Williams® store near you visit sherwin-williams.com or call 1-800-4-SHERWIN.

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.

Home & Garden

Plant tough Angelonia for summer-long color If you’re one of the many gardeners who consider Angelonia an ideal plant for the hot summer garden, I would have to agree with you. Angelonia is a member of the snapdragon family, and it is actually called summer snapdragon. Few, if any, insects or diseases bother the Angelonia in the garden or landscape. Because it thrives in the full sun Gary during the heat and Bachman humidity Southern of summer, Gardening it makes a wonderful addition to our Mississippi gardens and landscapes. Angelonias begin flowering shortly after planting in late spring. With a little deadheading, they continue to bloom profusely until frost in the fall. The garden world is dominated by plants with round flowers, making the spiky texture of the Angelonia flower stalks welcome additions to any summer garden. In the coastal counties, Angelonia may overwinter outdoors. After this year’s mild winter, I saw Angelonia that overwintered north of Jackson. Obviously this is not the norm. You should consider your Angelonia a flowering annual. In 2007, the Serena Angelonia was selected as a Mississippi Medallion winner. Flower colors include blues, pinks, violets and white. Serena Angelonia grows to 12 inches tall and spreads up to 14 inches wide. Pair Serena white Angelonia with the 2011 Mississippi Medallion winner Sunpatiens for a great full sun combination. The yellows and orange yellows of lantana and Profusion zinnia also make great combination partners.

Another variety of Angelonia that is certainly worthy of a place in our Mississippi gardens is the Angel Mists. This series has plants that are compact and low-growing with colors of white, pink and purple. Best of all, these plants are free flowering, making them exceptional choices for the landscape. I really like using Angel Mist plants in containers or hanging baskets and letting the stems sprawl and scramble over the container edge. Once established, Angelonia is drought- and heattolerant. These are great attributes for the hot summer conditions in Mississippi landscapes. During extended droughty periods, remember to supply supplemental irrigation. This will help ensure healthy plants that continue to produce gorgeous flowers. Angelonias will thrive when planted in the full sun in fertile, well-drained landscape beds. Add 3 to 4 inches of good-quality mulch to improve even the most compacted clay soil. Angelonia will not be a good garden plant if the soil is poor and compacted, leaving little air space. Maintain a consistent supply of fertilizer for optimum performance and flowering. Fertilize with a complete, controlledrelease garden fertilizer at planting. After planting, monthly applications of water-soluble fertilizer will keep Angelonia going strong all summer. Wherever you need summer color in your home landscape, plant Angelonia. These beauties will perform the entire summer season and beyond. (Dr. Gary Bachman is an assistant Extension research professor of horticulture at the Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi.)

‘Men in Black III’ returns to past Men in Black III, PG13, ***1/2, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, E m m a Thompson; Columbia Pictures film; DirecTerry tor Barry Burns Sonnenfield; length Movie Critic —106 minutes “Men in Black III” continues the travails of the agency in charge of hunting aliens and keeping them under control.

minutes. The story starts out about how 40 years ago Agent K captured Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement). Agent K shot the Animal’s arm off and Mr. Animal is not happy. The current Boris, now in prison, plans to return to the time period before his arm was disconnected from his body and kill Agent K. He has been in solitary confinement since his capture. Now, he must escape and return to those days of yesteryear in order to change history. With this scenario hanging over Agent K, he refuses to allow Agent J to return to the past with him. This makes J suspicious and upset because they are partners and friends. The time period of the incident with K and Ani-

mal is 1969. This is the portion of the movie that changes gears. It becomes funny and enjoyable. Of course, the space program is at its height during this time so it becomes a major part in what is happening. Since K refuses to allow J to return to those wonder years of the 60s, J begins to do some spy work of his own. Of course, J finds a way to do some time traveling in order to help his partner. Here, Will Smith’s humor is right on target. He has the audience laughing out loud. Josh Brolin also does an excellent job mimicking the young K in the ‘60s. K and J meet a lot of colorful characters along the way which adds to the story and the comical antics. It has a very sensitive moment at the very end of the

movie which reveals why K did not want J to go with him to the age of peace, love and understanding. I recommend “Men in Black III” for comic book fans. It has a lot of comedic dialogue and a touching story to go along with the laughter and fun as the MIB agents try to save the world in 1969. Michael Stuhlbarg plays an extraterrestrial, Griffin the Archanan, who will play zigzag with the minds of the audience. His antics are funny and surprising. Just remember the direction we go determines where we end up. (Terry Burns is technology coordinator for the McNairy County School System.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Wrap up your summer grilling menu with grilled fieasta shrimp, above, and cedar wrapped Mahi-Mahi with mango and red peppers, below.

Prep: 15 minutes, Cook: 15 minutes Servings: 6 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled, deveined 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning 1â „2 cup shredded Mexicanblend or cheddar cheese 1â „2 cup each: corn kernels, diced red bell pepper 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed, drained

Wrapping doâ€™s and donâ€™ts Q Donâ€™t overstuff: Sort foods by shape and similar cooking times otherwise â€œitâ€™s almost impossible to get everything cooked properly. Less is more,â€? says Jamie Purviance, author of â€œWeberâ€™s Smoke: A Guide to Smoke Cooking for Everyone and Any Grill.â€? Q Husks and skins: Corn husks, fresh or dried (soak before grilling) are just one option. Purviance recommends cooking onions in their skins, nestling the bulbs among the coals. If using husks or a banana leaf, Fertig recommends standing close by with a spray bottle of water to douse any flare-ups. Q Alternative soaks: Corn husks, leaves and wood papers should all be soaked pre-grilling to reduce the chance of burning. While water works, Chandler recommends experimenting with other liquids, including juice and wine, to infuse the food with another layer of flavor.

2B • Daily Corinthian

Woman hopes to remain single DEAR ABBY: I’m a 28-year-old, newly single female who has never been happier. I’ve had a couple of long-term relationships that didn’t turn out well, so my quiet, uncomplicated life is refreshing. All I’m looking for now is to make new friends and enjoy myself. A few guys have asked me for my phone number -- usually through social networking -- and have suggested getting together for a couple of drinks. As nice as that would be, the last thing I want to do is lead anyone on or give him the wrong impression. When I do decide to start looking, it will be for no one less than my Prince Charming, and I don’t regard any of these men as that. Going out with girlfriends is hard because they’re mostly married with children. What and when is the best way to tell guys that, as much as I enjoy their company, I am looking only for friendship at this time? I live in a relatively small town, so going out with different men on a

regular basis gives people the wrong idea about me. -WANTS Abigail O N L Y Van Buren FRIENDSHIP IN Dear Abby MICHIGAN DEAR WANTS ONLY FRIENDSHIP: I understand your feelings, but please allow me to point out that meeting Prince Charming can be an accident of luck and timing. In addition to that, he doesn’t always come dashing forth on a white horse -- sometimes it’s an old clunker. If you announce to any man who asks you out for a couple of drinks that you’re interested only in friendship, he will interpret it as rejection, so I don’t advise you to make that your lead sentence. A better retort might be that rather than going out for drinks, you’d prefer to start with coffee and conversation. Who knows? The longer he talks, the

more attractive he may become. Stranger things have happened. DEAR ABBY: My 20-year-old daughter, “Roxanne,” is attending college in a big city known for its crime rate, unemployment and despair. She lives alone in an apartment just off campus. She’s a smart girl, careful and cautious, but I still worry about her to the point of sleepless nights and a general feeling of “when” something will happen -- not if. Roxanne’s apartment was broken into last Christmas. Thankfully, she wasn’t there at the time. Since then, my worry has intensified -- especially if I don’t hear from her for a few hours. We usually text or call each other at least once a day. If I don’t hear from her, I panic. My husband calls me a professional worrier and says I need to trust that our daughter is safe. I don’t think I’ll ever NOT worry about her, and the truth is I really want her to

move back home. I realize this would be counterproductive to her achieving success, but I don’t know how to let go of the worry. I need advice, Abby. Is this just a “mom thing” or should I seek help? -HALF-CRAZED MOM IN MICHIGAN DEAR MOM: It’s a “mom thing” taken to the extreme. One of the reasons that children go away to college is so they -- and their parents -- can learn to live independently from each other. For you to expect your daughter to call or text you at least once a day feeds your dependence on her. It appears you suffer from a case of parental hypervigilance -- and yes, for both your sakes, you should seek professional help.

Today in history Today is Wednesday, June 6, the 158th day of 2012. There are 208 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On June 6, 1944, during World War II, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, on “D-Day,” beginning the liberation of German-occupied western Europe.

On this date In 1799, American politician and orator Patrick Henry died at Red Hill Plantation in Virginia. In 1844, the Young Men’s Christian Association was founded in London. In 1862, the (first) Battle of Memphis took place during the Civil War as Union naval forces annihilated a Confederate fleet and captured the Tennessee city. In 1912, the greatest volcanic eruption of the 20th century took place as Novarupta in Alaska began a series of explosive episodes over a 60hour period. In 1925, Walter Percy Chrysler founded the Chrysler Corp. In 1932, the Senate approved, and President Herbert Hoover signed, a Revenue Act containing the first federal gasoline tax, which was one cent per gallon. In 1933, the first drive-in movie theater was opened by Richard Hollingshead in Camden County, N.J. (The movie shown was “Wives Beware,” starring Adolphe

Menjou.) In 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission was established. In 1966, black activist James Meredith was shot and wounded as he walked along a Mississippi highway to encourage black voter registration. In 1978, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, a primary ballot initiative calling for major cuts in property taxes. In 1982, Israeli forces invaded Lebanon to drive Palestine Liberation Organization fighters out of the country. (The Israelis withdrew in June 1985.) In 1985, authorities in Brazil exhumed a body later identified as the remains of Dr. Josef Mengele, the notorious “Angel of Death” of the Nazi Holocaust. Ten years ago: Stung by intelligence failures, President George W. Bush called on Congress in a nationally broadcast address to remake the government with a terrorist-fighting Department of Homeland Security. Israeli troops stormed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s headquarters in response to a Palestinian suicide attack on a bus that killed 17 Israelis.

Five years ago The Group of Eight summit opened in Heiligendamm, Germany. Police arrested a suspect in the abduction and death of 18-year-old Kelsey Smith, whose body was found in a Missouri park four days after

she’d disappeared from a Kansas store’s parking lot. (Edwin R. Hall later pleaded guilty to capital murder and was sentenced to life in prison.) Police in Connecticut looking for clues in the yearlong disappearance of a 15-year-old Bloomfield girl found her locked in a hidden room in a West Hartford home owned by an acquaintance of her parents. (Adam Gault later pleaded guilty to kidnapping and sexual assault.) The Anaheim Ducks captured the Stanley Cup with a 6-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators in Game 5. Bob Barker taped his last episode of CBS’ “The Price Is Right.”

One year ago After days of denials, New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed that he had tweeted a photo of his bulging underpants to a woman and admitted to “inappropriate” exchanges with six women before and after getting married; Weiner apologized for lying but said he would not resign (which he ended up doing). Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, popular among social conservatives, plunged into the 2012 Republican presidential sweepstakes. (Santorum suspended his campaign in April 2012.) The Bowl Championship Series stripped Southern California of its 2004 title after the Trojans were hit with heavy NCAA sanctions for rules

violations committed during the 2004 and ’05 seasons.

Horoscopes BY HOLIDAY MATHIS The Capricorn moon is a serious instructor, shadowing the student’s every move with quiet tips and suggestions. The energy of rebellion will churn inside those who have authority issues. Some learn through correction and duplication; others do better through experimentation and making mistakes. What kind of student are you? ARIES (March 21-April 19). Who you need and want people to be often turns out to be significantly different from who they really are. Stay observant, and don’t let your expectations get the better of your judgment. TAURUS (April 20May 20). If you hesitate and question your instincts, you’ll miss out on an opportunity. Instead, trust yourself and go forward. Clouds will lift. The sun will light your path. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You’re so charismatic these days that you’re apt to attract new friends. Before you go forward, you’ll think about how well you’re able to nurture the relationships that are already in your life. CANCER (June 22July 22). You won’t try to read minds, even though you probably know more about what another person is thinking than most people do. Instead, you’ll take the healthiest route: You’ll communicate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone is as graceful at it as you are. If you falter, you’ll quickly recover and attend to the necessary corrections or amends. Then comes the best part: You get to laugh it off. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll learn from those who set the bar very high in their area of expertise. However, the very thing that is supposed to inspire you could also depress you unless you really believe in yourself. So believe in yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). In the weeks to come, you’ll build something that makes you proud. The work you’re doing right now is foundational. Success depends on taking your time and getting the plans right. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Life suddenly will get simple for you. You’ll recognize that what others are doing is irrelevant to your choices. You’ll know what’s right for you and do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t possibly give everyone the same treatment, because each person brings out something different in you. That’s why it’s so important to choose your company well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Writing things down will solidify them in your mind and in your life. Putting

information into your phone or computer isn’t the same. Your pen has a kind of magic in it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Most people feel at ease around you. You smile often, and that helps. Complete strangers know the warmth of your smile, and they feel happier because of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to be a saint all of the time to raise the vibration of humanity. You can raise the vibration of humanity by being just 10 percent more patient and loving. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 6). You give more thought to what you want from a relationship than you ever have, and you’ll create magic in your personal life. This month brings professional change; you’ll close one door and open another. July features a lucrative transaction. October is your time to bond with family through special events. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 25, 49, 31 and 14. 12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS: “Dear Holiday, I’m nothing like my sign. Gemini is supposed to be outgoing with the gift of gab. If I have that gift, I haven’t found it. I usually say the wrong thing, forget people’s names or manage to bring up the one subject they most don’t want to talk about. It’s no wonder people usually seem less than enthusiastic about getting to know me. Is there hope?” I know you’ll be successful at improving your social skills. Wanting to do so is a sign that you are socially aware, even if that awareness happens to be that your skills need work. You’ve inspired me to explore the lessons inside the energy of each sign in regard to social awkwardness. Let’s start at the beginning with Aries energy. The firstborn sign of the zodiac is associated with the phrase “I am.” All social ease stems from selfawareness. You can’t relate to others until you know yourself. The better you know yourself the more fun and relaxed you’ll be with others because you’ll be in tune with what makes you laugh, captures your interest and stirs your curiosity. More on this tomorrow! CELEBRITY PROFILES: “Arrested Development” and “Superbad” star Michael Cera definitely embodies the Gemini spirit with his dry rapid banter and endearing, nerd-tinged wit. Mars in Pisces suggests that Cera is capable of a wide range of character portrayals.

Review: â€˜Gone Girlâ€™ is brilliant BY MICHELLE WIENER For The Associated Press

â€œGone Girlâ€? (Crown), by Gillian Flynn: Admirers of Gillian Flynnâ€™s previous books, â€œSharp Objectsâ€? and â€œDark Places,â€? will be ecstatic over â€œGone Girl,â€? her most intricately twisted and deliciously sinister story, dangerous for any reader who prefers to savor a novel as opposed to consuming it whole in one sitting. Itâ€™s the story of a troubled marriage told not only from the perspectives of both husband and wife, but also from different points in their relationship. Nick Dunneâ€™s story starts on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary as he greets his wife, Amy, with rising â€œbile and dread.â€? Amyâ€™s story starts several years earlier just after she and Nick meet. The contrast between Nickâ€™s fear and disgust and Amyâ€™s giddy love haze is stark. What happened to these two? Later that day, Nick returns home to find Amy gone, amid evidence of a violent struggle. As news of Amyâ€™s disappearance spreads, suspicion naturally focuses on Nick, and given what heâ€™s already revealed, plus what we already know about his marital difficulties, itâ€™s hard not to doubt his story. Every other page, readers will question what they thought for sure they already knew. The brilliance of â€œGone Girlâ€? is the way in which it both embraces and upends the familiar â€œdisappearing spouseâ€? trope while at the same time allowing both partners to wax philosophical about issues of identity and intimacy. Itâ€™s simply fantastic: terrifying, darkly funny and at times moving.

Community events Activity center The Bishop Activity Center is having the following activities through June 8: Today -- Bible study with Robert Ross of Alcorn M.B.
