Office fields calls about latest scam

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A new phone and texting scam reported locally preys on the fear of being arrested.

Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell said his office is getting calls about the scam in which the

person receives a text message or phone call stating that a warrant has been issued for the person’s arrest.

“It’s nothing but a scam,” said Caldwell.

Deputy Clerk Crystal Starling said the office has had at least

15 phone calls in the last 10 days from people who have received the text message or phone call.

“Most of them are wanting to know what the warrant is for,” she said.

Some of the messages indicate the warrant is for “failure

to appear,” and some indicate that it is for failure to report for jury duty.

Caldwell said it is an attempt to scare people into giving out personal information.

A number of circuit clerks’ offices across the state have re-

ported the scam.

It is one of a number of cons that officials have been tracking in recent weeks. Officials continue to receive reports of phishing calls targeting bank Please see SCAMS | 2A

“When travelers are asked what the best thing about visiting Mississippi is, they often reply that it is our people,” said Kristy White, CACVB director.

“And some of the first people they encounter on their journeys are the restaurant servers, the gas station clerks and the hotel lobby receptionists. These folks are very important ambassadors for Corinth and Alcorn County, and it is part of our mission at the Tour-

ism Office to help businesses raise the bar in assisting their front-line workers in better understanding the successful techniques of customer service.”

Andrea Rose, community development director for the Alliance, encourages any business that has front-line employees to send a representative.

“This is an opportunity to hear from a speaker who is highly regarded in the field of sales and hospitality,” Rose said.

“Twitchy can help any company increase their level of customer service

and hospitality.”

The sessions will be held at the Community Development Foundation Board Room on East Main Street in Tupelo.

There are two sessions to choose from: 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. or 1 to 4 p.m.

The Corinth/Alcorn County Alliance will provide complimentary transportation for the afternoon session. The van will leave from their offices at 810 Tate Street at noon on Monday, July 9.

“We’ have to open the prison doors and let prisoners out in the streets.

That would help the bill.

We would have to cut K through 12 probably 80 percent, and we would probably still have a shortfall. That’s what it means to this state. We can’t afford it — bottom line,” she said.

Potts said state legislators will spend many months in the future working on a plan and that finding a solution is not going to be easy.

District 1 Rep. Bubba

Carpenter cited former Gov. Haley Barbour’s remarks to the Senate Health Committee in describing his position on the bill.

“He basically told them these three things: ‘You’re putting Mississippi in a position to open prison doors, which I’m not going to do, putting those prisoners back out on the streets. You’re going to cut K through 12, which I’m not going to do,’” said Carpenter.

“We can’t fully fund it.

Or we wouldn’t be a state anymore — we’d be under federal rule.”

Carpenter said the bill was an “unfunded mandate” that he believes should not be put on the states.

“With the Good Lord and a lot of prayers we’re going to be working through this in the next couple of months to figure out how this is going to work,” he said. “Now that we’ve got to deal with it, we’re going to try to do the best we can.”

Scams target utility customers Special to the Daily Corinthian

Various scams promising payment of electric bills are targeting members of electric power associations in Mississippi.

The scammers’ ultimate goal is to steal their victims’ money or identity, or both, by obtaining private financial information.

In one scam, an unidentified caller asks the victim to provide personal bank account informa-

tion and the bank routing number in exchange for getting the victim’s electric bill paid.

In another scam, a caller who said he represents “Community Action Agency” claims he will pay the member’s utility bills and other expenses if the member will send in a portion of the amount owed via a Pay Pal account or Western Union.

Another scam claims President Barack Obama

is helping consumers with their utility bills.

Of course, the scammer pockets the money and the expenses are not paid.

The victim doesn’t realize he still owes for the expenses until he gets a notice that his account is delinquent.

The victims said they were told to call a toll-free number, where they were asked for private financial information including a number from their Social

Security card.

Individuals are urged to not fall for these scams.

Never reply to a phone call, text message or email that asks for private information. And never forward money to a third party who claims they will pay your utility bills.

If you suspect a scam, contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Mississippi Attorney General’s office at 800281-4418.

Corinth, Miss.

Obama’s court victory won at staggering cost

BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN June 28, Barack Obama won the battle but will lose the war. The Supreme Court decision makes Obamacare the central issue in the 2012 election, just like it was in the 2010 election. And we know how that turned out.

The Court has sustained the individual mandate. That imposes on us a mandate: To defeat Obama and take the Senate. Now that is the only way we can kill this horrible law.

Public opinion has rejected this law for two years now by about the same margin: 40 percent support; 55 percent oppose. While the Court decision may give the law a short-term positive bump, the underlying reality of the costs of the program and the increases in everyone’s health insurance rates it is already triggering will eliminate any near-term gain.

Ultimately, it will still be 40-55 against the law.

Right now, presidential polls show Romney and Obama both in the mid-40s.

The single most unpopular thing Obama has done is the health care law. Now it is going to be the lynchpin issue. It means that the election itself will increasingly be polarized around opinions of the health care law -- a 15 point loser for the Democrats.

In a real sense, the Supreme Court did not let Obama off the hook by striking down the law. Now he will have to defend it during the election.

Remember what this law does. It requires everyone to spend upwards of 7 percent of their income on health insurance or pay a fine of several thousand dollars. Neither is an attractive alternative for the young and the poor who are the president’s political base.

And, with the expansion of Medicaid rejected by the Court, the government will not be there to help them.

In 2010, Democrats running for Congress (most of whom lost) did not even attempt to defend Obamacare. They put as much distance between themselves and the law as they could. But now, neither Obama nor his Senate and House candidates will have that option, since the Supreme Court has kicked the football back into political play.

The rejection of the Medicaid expansion is huge. This mandate -- which would have quadrupled the Medicaid population in some states (like Texas) would have forced all states to pass income taxes and required those with them already to raise them substantially.

It required coverage of about a quarter of the country under Medicaid, something the states cannot afford.

Some saw it as a way to equalize the north and the south in taxes, eliminating the competitive advantage the south has long enjoyed.

As an American, I would have rather seen the individual mandate thrown out.

As a partisan, I’m thrilled that we still have the issue to beat Obama with.

Prayer for today

Medicaid is focus of health care ruling STARKVILLE — The top drawer political reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision upholding the health care reforms known as “Obamacare” is one founded deeply in the 2012 federal election cycle and the inexorable grind of partisan politics.

But in Mississippi, the central focus of the decision for state policymakers in both the executive and legislative branches of government is what the majority of the Supreme Court said about how the federal government can enforce the expansion of the Medicaid program dictated by the Obama health care reforms.

On Medicaid, the court said that the federal government can’t threaten or withhold funding for the state’s existing Medicaid program simply because the state fails to expand Medicaid as dictated by the Obama health care reform act. That part of the ruling raised the Mississippi Legislature’s attention.

Medicaid in Mississippi is nearly a $5 billion annual proposition utilizing both federal and state dollars that serves some 641,454 Mississippians. Currently,

Sid Salter Columnist

the state offers Medicaid to citizens with an income up to 100 percent of the federal poverty level or $23,050 for a family of

four.

It is also the most heavily subsidized Medicaid program in the nation. In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2011, for every $1 the state spent on medical care for the poor, the federal government spent $5.61. In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2012, the ratio dropped to $3 in federal funds for every $1.

For Mississippi, the court’s ruling mitigates what many Mississippi legislative leaders have predicted was the most expensive and difficult portion of the reforms for state government to finance – the expansion of the Medicaid program in the poorest state in the union.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates that starting in 2014, all states would be required to offer all citizens Medicaid if their in-

come is below 133 percent of the federal poverty level or $30,650 for a family of four.

Estimates vary between 250,000 and 400,000 as to the number of Medicaid recipients such an expansion would add to Mississippi’s Medicaid rolls.

Republican leaders have predicted that a Medicaid expansion coupled with Mississippi’s estimated 618,000 uninsured residents could cost state taxpayers north of an additional $200 million annually in taxes just to fund the state’s portion of Medicaid alone.

Back in 2011, former Gov. Haley Barbour told Congress: “The federal act would require us to increase the [Medicaid] rolls by about two-thirds, or about 600,000 people to a million, a third of our population, because the costs are back-loaded, it would be $1.3 billion to $1.7 billion over 10 years. We are going to have to raise taxes or cut spending, and more likely, we will have to do both.”

The ACA empowered the federal government to withhold funding of a state’s existing Medicaid funding if the state refused to expand the Medicaid program by

the ACA’s dictates. The high court ruled that Congress can’t do that. Essentially, that single judicial caveat makes Medicaid expansion by the states under ACA an option rather than a requirement.

Under the ACA, federal taxpayers will pay the full cost of covering the new Medicaid enrollees for three years, from 2014 to 2016, and the federal share would then gradually decline to 90 percent in 2020. In poor states with large Medicaid populations like Mississippi, state officials worry that future costs will be shifted to the states to pay for the increased enrollments.

Supporters of the Obama reforms say that in no state are public health care needs more pronounced than in Mississippi and that expansion of Medicaid is the only means to address the growing problem of hospitals providing uncompensated care to the uninsured who visit hospital emergency rooms for rudimentary health care.

A verse to share Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.

—Luke 6:38 (NRSV)

Feeling good about change in barn-red house ALONG THE LITTLE TALLAPOOSA RIVER, Ga. — I had made it a point not to return. Once you’ve lived in, loved and left a house, best leave it be.

The “new” owners have had the barn-red house by the river for three years longer than I did. When recently they invited me to stop by while I was in the area, to be polite I agreed. And I know full well that politeness can get you into trouble.

This house wasn’t just any house. It had an old gristmill on the site, and it sat so close to the river you could wet a hook through an open door. The core was 100 years old, but don’t imagine a grand old farmhouse or Victorian. A wing had been added every decade, including the obligatory den of the 1960s, replete with orange and green shag and dark faux paneling.

If houses were fashion, this one would have been a 100-year-old man wearing a leisure suit. I had to have

it, of course.

My late husband Don first fixed the hole in the kitchen Rheta floor. Then Johnson he set to work trying Columnist to execute whatever visions I shared. By the time we left the old place, it was hard to go.

It took me about five seconds after arriving the other day to realize the home was in good hands. Capable hands. Creative hands.

Many hands.

Max and Sherrie Fulbright have six children and a posse of dogs, including one who looks a lot like my beloved yellow dog Mabel.

There are cats and chickens in the yard and baby goats in a pen, Sherrie’s Mother’s Day gifts.

I walked up the old, oddly spaced concrete steps onto a porch where the Confed-

erate jasmine I planted 15 years ago now is full and profuse, fragrant proof I was there. Then I went through the front screened door -- a terrific old one the Fulbrights found somewhere -- into a perfect and magical blend of what was and what is, a dizzying journey.

The old redwood fence was now the floor. Art was everywhere. Walls had murals. Some walls I remembered were gone.

Rooms that made perfect sense had been added, all with big windows to enhance the river view. Did I mention Max designs houses for a living?

Best of all, at the heart of the house, the ceiling had burst wide open and new walls went straight up, at least 30 feet, letting in light and sucking up heat. It was Architectural Digest meets Lemony Snicket. Max made the first cut at night while the children were sleeping.

ret,” for lack of a better word, ran a homemade table, long enough to seat King Arthur’s knights if Arthur hadn’t insisted on round. Sunflowers and cakes filled that table, and old friends and neighbors pulled up chairs to it. One of the Fulbright children quietly strummed a guitar.

There was so much life in that room you could have sliced and served it up like the cake.

I wanted to cry with happiness but didn’t. I’ve never been so pleased about change. You can’t go home again, but you can be glad good people are in it.

Don used to marvel that there wasn’t a square corner in the entire strange house. There still isn’t. And I mean that in the best possible way.

State Briefs Associated Press

Highway Patrol gears up for holiday JACKSON — The Mississippi Highway Patrol will have an additional 80 state troopers on the roads during the short July 4 holiday.

The holiday period started at 6 p.m. Tuesday and ends at midnight Wednesday.

Col. Donnell Berry, head of the patrol, says a $30,000 federal grant will pay for the extra troopers.

Berry says last year, one person died on roads and highways patrolled by state troopers.

Mississippi River levels dropping VICKSBURG — Drought conditions are contributing to Mississippi River levels that may not be the lowest they’ve ever been but are still cause for concern.

Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr.

Plan your next event with us!

Whether your event is a corporate meeting, a community fundraiser or a special occasion, the staff at the Crossroads Arena can help you from start to finish.

Call 662-287-7779 to talk with our staff.

Rebecca Walthour tells The Clarion-Ledger that some barges have run aground in a few places but there’ve been no major incidents or injuries.

She says the Coast Guard has asked mariners to report it when their vessels touch the bottom of the river in any capacity.

At 4.86 feet in Vicksburg, the Mississippi River is 52 feet below where it was on May 19, 2011, at the height of last year’s flooding.

Scam warning issued for utility customers JACKSON — Mississippi’s public utilities and the attorney general’s office are warning customers about phone scams that have been reported.

Electric Power Associations of Mississippi says a caller in one of the scams asked the victim to provide personal bank account information and the bank routing number to pay off the victim’s electric bill.

Atmos Energy says another scam promises federal stimulus money for utility bills in exchange for a customer’s personal information.

The scam artist provides a bank routing number that, supposedly, has an account with funds to pay past due bills.

Officials say there is no such program.

Several counties issue burning ban NATCHEZ — Adams County is banning the

shooting off of fireworks in the unincorporated parts but the prohibition will not affect the annual community fireworks display on the Mississippi River.

The fireworks ban comes as Mississippi city and counties are dealing with the ongoing drought and high temperature. Twenty-three counties have some kind of burn ban in place The Natchez Democrat reports that fireworks are not legal inside the city of Natchez.

Officials are encouraging residents who want to enjoy fireworks to attend a community-wide fireworks show set to begin at 9 p.m. Wednesday over the river.

Fireworks may be

viewed from the bluff in Natchez or Vidalia; the community is asked to stay off Silver Street.

Repairs needed on Hinds County jail JACKSON — Of 16 emergency repairs in store for the Hinds County jail in Raymond,

Sheriff Tyrone Lewis says repairing jail doors is the most important.

Lewis says almost $400,000 is needed to repair doors that won’t lock or won’t stay locked.

County administrator Carmen Davis said the repairs will be paid with proceeds from a bond issue.

Man tries to evade police on scooter Associated Press

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.

— Johnson City police have charged a man who tried to evade them on a scooter.

Charges of third-offense DUI and reckless

endangerment were filed early Tuesday against Danny Davis, 29. He was arrested at an apartment complex after running there when his passenger jumped off the scooter, causing it to overturn.

Davis also faced charges of driving on a revoked license, felony evading arrest, wearing no helmet and a registration violation.

He was due in court later Tuesday.

Associated Press

19 kids found alone; charges planned BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Authorities plan to file charges against a man and a woman accused of leaving 19 children ranging from 8 months to 14 years old unattended for a week in a sweltering, filthy home near Bowling Green.

The children were found Monday night in a small three-bedroom rental home near Interstate 65 by officers who were responding to a complaint from a neighbor. It was littered with dog feces and had no air conditioning, Warren County Sheriff’s Detective Tim Robinson said.

“It’s such an unusual circumstance to find 19 children like that, we’re still putting things together right now,” Robinson said.

The adults, Irving “Joe” Smith and Jackie Farah, left town on June 27 and told a neighbor to check on the kids, Robinson said. They are expected to face charges when they return.

“It looks like a blended family,” Robinson said, with some of the children related to Smith and others related to Farah.

The home was a sweltering 90 degrees when officers arrived, Robinson said. Temperatures had reached 101 degrees in Bowling Green earlier that day. The children were treated at a local hospital and then placed into protective custody.

Officers also removed nine dogs and a cat from the home. They found an inch of dog feces in one of the rooms and very little food for the children, Robinson said.

“They had went to neighbors’ residences at different times begging

for food,” he said.

Smith and Farah last week told a neighbor they had a family emergency in Michigan and had to leave, Robinson said. He said it’s likely the neighbor didn’t know there were so many children staying in the house.

When officers arrived, the children behaved as if they were often left alone, Robinson said.

TV icon Andy Griffith dies at age 86 RALEIGH, N.C. — Andy Griffith, who made homespun Southern wisdom his trademark as the wise sheriff in “The Andy Griffith Show” and the rumpled defense lawyer in “Matlock,” died Tuesday. He was 86.

Griffith died about 7 a.m. at his coastal home, Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie said in a statement.

“Mr. Griffith passed away this morning at his home peacefully and has been laid to rest on his beloved Roanoke Island,” Doughtie told The Associated Press, reading from a family statement.

The family will release further information, the sheriff said.

He had suffered a heart attack and underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2000.

Griffith’s career spanned more than a half-century on stage, film and television, but he would always be best known as Sheriff Andy Taylor in the television show set in a North Carolina town not too different from Griffith’s own hometown of Mount Airy, N.C. Griffith set the show in the fictional town of Mayberry, N.C., where Sheriff Taylor was the dutiful nephew who ate pickles that tasted like

kerosene because they were made by his loving Aunt Bee, played by the late Frances Bavier. He was a widowed father who offered gentle guidance to son Opie, played

by Ron Howard, who grew up to become the Oscar-winning director of “A Beautiful Mind.”

Don Knotts was the goofy Deputy Barney Fife, while Jim Nabors joined the show as Gomer Pyle, the unworldly, lovable gas pumper.

On “Matlock,” which aired from 1986 through 1995, Griffith played a cagey Harvard-educated defense attorney who was Southern-bred and -mannered with a practice in Atlanta.

C-130 tankers resume firefighting DENVER — Six Air Force C-130 tankers will resume firefighting flights Tuesday after a deadly crash of another tanker plane over the weekend, the U.S. Northern Command said.

The entire remaining fleet of seven planes was grounded after one of the specially equipped C-130s crashed Sunday while fighting a wildfire in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

The C-130 was from an Air National Guard wing based in Charlotte, N.C., and was carrying a crew of six. At least two crew members died and others were injured.

Northern Command, which oversees the planes while they are on firefighting duty, said the one-day suspension of flights was to review safety procedures.

A second C-130 from the North Carolina Air National Guard will return to its home base in Charlotte, said Maj. Kimberly Holman, a Northern Command spokeswoman.

This Week

Jobless claims Economists are expecting that fewer people sought unemployment benefits last week than the week before.

The number of weekly unemployment benefit applications sank two weeks ago to a seasonally adjusted 386,000.

Weekly unemployment applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. When applications rise above 375,000, it generally means that hiring isn't strong enough to rapidly lower the unemployment rate.

Scooping up dividends Dividends are on the rise.

In the period from April through June, 505 companies increased their dividend. That total is balanced by the 37 companies, of the roughly 10,000 with listed stocks, that cut their dividend.

Those changes led to a net increase of $12 billion in dividend payments in the second quarter. The rise helped set what is believed to be a record total dollar amount of dividend payouts for U.S. domestic common stocks, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect to see double-digit growth in actual dividend payments for the remainder of 2012,â&#x20AC;? says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. That would equate to a 16 percent gain over last year.

One company driving the growth in dividend

payments is Apple, which will begin paying a quarterly dividend of $2.65 a share this summer.

Apple also is helping change the reputation of tech stocks.

Last month, Dell followed Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead and announced that it will pay its first quarterly dividend, 8 cents per share, starting in the third quarter. Historically tech stocks have been known for plowing their profits back into research and development, and acquisitions. But Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $9.9 billion in annual dividend payments has made technology the second-largest payer of dividends among the 10 sectors in the Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 500 index. That means the total amount of dividends paid by tech companies exceeds most segments of the market.

Still, there is a cloud overhead. The dividend tax rate of 15 percent will almost triple to as much as 43.4 percent for investors in the top tax bracket unless Congress acts later this year.

Mortgage rates

Hiring improving?

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has stayed at the lowest level on record the past two weeks.

Will we see another new low on Thursday when government-owned mortgage company Freddie Mac releases figures for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mortgage rates?

The average rate on the 30-year loan has been below 4 percent since December.

Cheap mortgages have given a lift to the long-suffering housing market and could give the broader economy a jolt at a time when the job market is weak.

The Labor Department issues payroll employment numbers for June on Friday.

Overall job growth has been slowing. Employers added an average of just 73,000 jobs a month in April and May. That followed average gains of 226,000 a month in the first three months of the year.

Economists are expecting the pace of job gains accelerated in June from May, when employers added only 69,000 jobs, the fewest in a year.

The Associated Press

OXFORD — Hugh Freeze’s resume shows that he’s a football coach. It also indicates he’s some sort of magician.

That would be one way to explain how the first-year Mississippi football coach has been so successful in his short-lived college career, despite circumstances that were not exactly conducive to winning. The 42-year-old has won football games — and quickly — at off-the-map programs such as Arkansas State at Lambuth.

Now for possibly his most daunting magic trick, he’s

charged with resurrecting an Ole Miss program that has a 6-18 record over the past two seasons, including a 1-15 mark in the Southeastern Conference. The stage may be much different, but Freeze is confident his past experiences will translate to the Southeastern Conference.

“Kids are the same, whether it’s high school, Lambuth or Ole Miss,” Freeze said. “They

deal with the same issues in life and on the field. The locker rooms may look different, but those kids want to win just as bad. They hurt to lose just as bad.”

Freeze was hired in December and has spent the spring and summer assembling his staff, tweaking his roster and preparing for a brutal schedule that will test his talentchallenged team.

He’s performed shocking turnarounds before. Now the challenge is whether he can do the same thing at Oxford with heavyweight opponents like Alabama, Auburn and

LSU. “That’s a good question,” Freeze said. “Only time will tell. I’m not going to change the way we do things. I do believe that if we have enough time to recruit and get this roster where we need it to be, we’ll be successful. But right now, we’re not playing with an equal deck.”

But one reason Ole Miss hired him was his reputation as a lightning-fast fix-it man and a recruiter. He has a heavy incentive to win quickly — his $1.5 million base salary Please see FREEZE | 9A

Retiring Jones added to NL All-Star team The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Braves third baseman Chipper Jones is replacing Dodgers third baseman Matt Kemp on the NL All-Star roster.

Jones had been a candidate to be voted onto the team by fans in baseball’s Final Vote campaign. Instead, the 40-year-old Jones is replacing Kemp, who is on the disabled list with a hamstring injury but plans to participate in the All-Star home run derby.

The Braves announced Jones’ addition to the NL roster on Tuesday.

Jones will be making his eighth AllStar appearance in his final season. He has announced plans to retire after the season.

Jones is hitting .291 with six homers and 29 RBIs.

Williams beats defending champion at Wimbledon The Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — Thanks to a bit of advice from her big sister and a bunch of aces from her big serve, Serena Williams is back in the Wimbledon semifinals.

With two more victories, Williams will be holding a Grand

Slam trophy for the first time in two years.

The thud of racket-againstball reverberating under the closed Centre Court roof, Williams smacked 13 aces at up to 120 mph and overpowered defending champion Petra Kvitova 6-3, 7-5 in the quarterfinals

Tuesday at the All England Club.

Beforehand, Williams’ father and coach, Richard, asked his other title-winning daughter to relay some suggestions.

“I went and had Venus talk to her, because Venus can get (through) to Serena better than anyone in the world. So I told

Venus, ‘I’m not going to talk to her. You talk to her.’ So Venus went and talked to her. When the match was over, I told her, ‘Venus: Good coaching! Good coaching!”’ Dad said after snapping photos of Serena’s victory from his front-row perch in the guest box above a scoreboard.

“I wanted Serena to move her feet a little bit more and to not concentrate on what the girl’s doing, but concentrate exactly on what she wished to do,” he continued. “And that was the only message.”

NFL rejects appeals of bounty suspensions for Saints’ players The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has rejected the appeals of four players suspended in connection with the league’s bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints.

In a ruling handed down on Tuesday, Goodell told Jonathan Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Will Smith and Scott Fujita that he

retains “the inherent authority to reduce a suspension should facts be brought to my attention warranting the exercise of that discretion.

“The record confirms that each of you was given multiple chances to meet with me to present your side of the story,” Goodell said. “You are each still welcome to do so.”

Vilma is suspended for the entire 2012 season, while Smith will miss four games. Hargrove, now with Green Bay, was suspended eight games, while Fujita, now with Cleveland, was suspended three games.

The NFL Players Association issued a statement saying it will continue to pursue all options.

“The players are disappointed

with the League’s conduct during this process,” the statement said. “We reiterate our concerns about the lack of fair due process, lack of integrity of the investigation and lack of the jurisdictional authority to impose discipline under the collective bargaining agreement.

“Moreover, the Commissioner took actions during this process

that rendered it impossible for him to be an impartial arbitrator.”

Goodell said he did not take his initial decision lightly and also points out that players did not help their cause by refusing to participate fully in the appeal process.

Vilma and his attorney, Peter Ginsberg, walked out of the hearing early.

will jump by $100,000 for each conference win this fall.

Freeze — who has an offensive background and will work heavily on that side of the ball — has assembled an eclectic assistant coaching staff that has wide ranges in pedigree and past experiences. Defensive coordinator Dave Wommack and cooffensive coordinator Dan Werner have been around the college game for decades. Defensive ends coach Chris Kiffin is the brother of USC coach Lane Kiffin, while others like linebackers coach Tom Allen have spent most of their career at the high school level.

Allen was with Freeze at the Lambuth and Arkansas State stops. He said Freeze has a knack for game-day decisions and offensive schemes, but his best skill is changing the way players think between the ears.

It’s worked in the Sun Belt and in the NAIA. Now it’s almost time to take on the SEC.

SERENA CONTINUED FROM 8A

Consider it delivered.

The 30-year-old Williams, bidding to become the first woman at least that age to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990, turned in her best performance of the tournament against her most difficult opponent. After being stretched to 9-7 and 7-5 third sets against less-accomplished women in the two previous rounds, the No. 6-seeded Williams was on top of things from the get-go against No. 4 Kvitova.

“You can’t play a defending Wimbledon champion or Grand Slam champion and not elevate your game,” said Williams, who produced 27 winners and only 10 unforced errors.

On Thursday, Williams will play No. 2 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, the reigning Australian Open champion, who defeated unseeded Tamira Paszek 6-3, 7-6 (4) under the roof at night to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the second straight year.

The other semifinal will be No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland against No. 8 Angelique Kerber of Germany.

A little before 10 p.m. on Centre Court, Radwanska finished her 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 victory over No. 17 Maria Kirilenko — whose boyfriend, two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, was in the stands.

Kerber was a 6-3, 6-7 (7), 7-5 winner over No. 15 Sabine Lisicki in an all-German matchup.

Alcorn decides to move JSU game to Lorman The Associated Press

LORMAN — Alcorn State has decided to bring its rivalry football game against Jackson State back home.

Alcorn State President Christopher Brown said in an an-

nouncement on the university website that this year’s home game will be played at Jack Spinks Stadium on Nov. 17.

The two schools had played the last 18 meetings at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Coliseum

in Jackson, which is Jackson State’s home field, in a game dubbed the Capital City Classic.

Alcorn’s football stadium seats just 22,500 people while Memorial Coliseum seats about 60,000.

ACC announces 12-year deal with Orange Bowl GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Atlantic Coast Conference is remaining tied to the Orange Bowl.

The league on Tuesday announced a 12-year agreement with the bowl beginning after the 2014 season. It says details on the opponent and broadcast partner will come later.

The ACC has sent its champion to the South Florida-based bowl every year since 2006, and this announcement means that relationship will continue when the Bowl Subdivision makes the switch to a four-team playoff in two years.

“As we look ahead to the future of postseason college football, this will fur-

ther an already beneficial partnership for both organizations,” ACC Commissioner John Swofford said.

“The Discover Orange Bowl has a rich history of prestige, is located within the league’s footprint and is a great destination for our student-athletes, alumni and fans. In addition to our continued partnership, we are very pleased to be playing annually on New Year’s Day.” The Orange Bowl will be played annually at 1 p.m. on Jan. 1.

The league anticipates the Orange Bowl hosting at least four semifinal games and says in those years, its champion will play in one of the three other host bowls.

If the ACC champion

makes the playoffs, another ACC team will play in the Orange Bowl.

The ACC becomes the fifth major conference to

announce a tie with a bowl that expects to be part of the pool of six bowls from which two semifinal sites will rotate.

Dillon has first Nationwide win

Mad Brad

Incident lit fire under Keselowski at Kentucky for third win in 2012

T

he results of Saturday’s Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway show that, among other things, a mad Brad Keselowski is one fast fellow.

Keselowski tangled with Juan Pablo Montoya early in the opening Sprint Cup practice on Friday, an incident Keselowski blamed on Montoya pulling in front of him, and it forced Keselowski’s team to prepare a backup car in a hurry in the triple-digit heat.

But once the race was under way Saturday night, Keselowski dominated en route to his third win of the season, a victory that all but assures him of a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the championship battle that begins after eight more races.

Keselowski’s crew chief Paul Wolfe said the mad factor appeared to be in play at Kentucky.

“There are definitely a lot of instances where I’ve seen Brad be able to find speed in the race car when he is ticked off,” Wolfe said. “Whether or not he’s doing it, it seems like it happens.”

Keselowski admitted that the incident with Montoya was on his mind over the weekend.

“I don’t like being pushed around, and I felt like what happened on the race track,

that someone was pushing me around, and I don’t like that,” he said. “I hate that. I can’t stand it, and I won’t stand for that. I can’t stand it.”

He said that while some might say that being mad in a race car can be a bad thing because of safety concerns, he’s not sure a rush of adrenaline is a big negative after all.

“Maybe it’s not. I don’t know,” he said. “I ain’t the one to answer that.

“But I do like the result, and whatever way, whatever I’ve got to do to get them, I’ll get them. But I’m not going to be pushed around, and that’s one code that I’m going to continue to live by.”

Keselowski added that the most important factor in the victory was the speed of his backup car.

“This car was fast from the second we unloaded it,” he said.

And he said his car needs to continue to be fast if he’s going to make a serious run at the title.

“You’ve got to win races,” he said. “You don’t back your way the Chase. Don’t rest on your laurels. You’ve got to have fast car when’s the Chase starts with great reliability and great execution.

“It’s going to take all three.”

Richard Petty celebrates 75th NASCAR icon Richard Petty, the man with a record 200 victories and seven Sprint Cup titles, turned 75 this week.

Petty planned to spend his birthday, Monday, at the Petty complex in Level Cross, N.C., then relax with family afterward.

Then, as he’s done for most of his earlier birthdays, he’ll travel Richard Petty to Daytona for (NASCAR photo) the Fourth of July weekend races.

This year will be extra special as he’ll be honored with a “Red, White and Petty Blue” dinner that will take place at the Wyndham Ocean Walk Resort and feature guest speakers who have been his friends for years..

“I’m really thankful for everyone who has supported us over the years,” Petty said in a team release. “I really don’t think about age too much. I just keep going to the next race. I’ve been doing that all my life and that’s what I’m going to keep doing. But, I am grateful for each day and all the fans who make this a lot of fun for us.”

Austin Dillon’s victory in last Friday’s Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway, his first in NASCAR’s second tier circuit, came in a car that looked remarkably like the Chevrolet that the late Dale Earnhardt once drove. In fact, the car is nearly identical, and with good reason.

It belongs to Dillon’s grandfather, Richard Childress, who also owned the black No. 3 Chevrolets that Earnhardt drove for most of his career. It ran like one of those Earnhardt cars, too.

Dillon started on the pole, led 192 of 200 laps and won by a 9.8-second margin over second-place Kurt Busch.

Childress said in Victory Lane at Kentucky that he thought Earnhardt would be proud. And while some Austin Dillon might say that (NASCAR photo) Earnhardt’s car number should be retired, there are plenty of others who say otherwise.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has maintained that Dillon is the right person to bring that iconic car number back to the highest levels of NASCAR since he’s been running it since he started racing on the short tracks of the South. Earnhardt Jr. addressed the subject last fall during a media session at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

“I don’t look at the numbers tied to drivers as much as just the history of the number,” he said.

“The number is more of a bank that you just deposit history into. It doesn’t really belong to any individual. Austin’s run that number, and you really can’t deny him the opportunity to continue to run it. It just wouldn’t be fair.”

Earnhardt Jr. said that although his father accomplished great things while driving the No. 3, there were many others before him who ran that number, including Childress, who gave up his own driving career to put Earnhardt in his car. “And someone else drove it before then,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “There are a lot of guys in the Fifties and Sixties that ran that number with success.”

Dillon’s first Nationwide win could come with somewhat of an asterisk, as the rear of his car was found to be too low in a post-race inspection.

Kenseth psyched for Daytona If Matt Kenseth needs a distraction from dealing with the aftermath of his decision to leave Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the year, this week’s race at Daytona International Speedway might be just the ticket.

Kenseth won the Daytona 500 in his last race at the birthplace of NASCAR, and he believes his restrictor-plate cars are as fast as any in the Sprint Cup garage.

“I am looking forward to going back there,” he said. “I looked forward to going to Talladega more so than any plate race I have ever looked forward to in my career with as good as we ran at Daytona [in Feb.] and how fast our cars were.

“I feel the same way about Daytona [this time around] and I am looking forward to getting down there.”

He said he made a tactical mistake and got separated from his drafting partner and teammate Greg Biffle near the end at Talladega, the other track where restrictor plates are used to slow speeds, or he might have won there, too.

“I have been kind of agonizing over that since Talladega with that green-white-checkered and how I lost that race for my guys,” Kenseth said. “I am looking forward to getting some redemption and also coming off that win at Daytona. The rules worked really good for us. Our cars have been fast, and we have been able to pass.”

Roush on Kenseth: ‘Personally, we will be fine’

SPRINT CUP POINTS

When a race driver and his or her car owner part company, as Matt Kenseth and Jack Roush will do at season’s end, it’s not just a business move. It also involves personal relationships, as the two usually have worked hand-in-hand, and as teammates in a competitive environment, for a number of years.

Throughout the NASCAR garage, there are drivers and owners who once worked together, but now are on opposing teams, yet still manage to maintain the friendships, or at least cordial relations.

Eddie Wood, co-owner of the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford, has often said that he and his family strive to maintain good relations with all their former drivers, because no matter how they parted, those drivers are still part of the history and heritage of their race team.

Roush said last week at Kentucky Speedway that he feels the same way about his drivers both past and present. “[Kenseth], like Mark Martin and Greg [Biffle] and Carl [Edwards], is a cornerstone of what we do, and his DNA is all over the things that we are known for and our success,” Roush said, adding that he hopes he and Kenseth can continue their personal relationship.

“I have not lost respect for Matt, and I hope he hasn’t for me.

“I won’t have the same sense of wishing for his success on the race track next year that I will for the balance of this year, and have in the past. He will, from my point of view, be moving to the dark side. We will get through that. Personally, we will be fine.”

Roush went on to say that Kenseth’s decision to leave after nearly 14 seasons behind the wheel

of the No. 17 Ford, caught him off guard, and that he never got a chance to personally intervene until it was too late.

“If I had been as vigilant and diligent and interested in that side of the business as I am on finding why a fuel pump broke, or why a connection rod bearing failed, or how we could get the next pound of downforce – if I had been taking care of the business side of the business as hard as I tried to take care of the technical side, I might have been able to stop that,” he said.

Alcoholic feels he doesn’t deserve love of his life DEAR ABBY: I am a 39-year-old gay man in a three-year relationship with a wonderful man.

We had both come out of very long and abusive relationships when we met.

He works hard, and I stay home and take care of the house, the animals and the yard. There is no kind of abuse in our relationship.

The problem is that I am an alcoholic. He keeps telling me he can handle it as long as there is no abuse. I feel I’m taking advantage of him and that he deserves better than this, and I have told him so.

I have been in rehab several times and tried AA. Nothing worked. I

always go back to drinking.

Where do I go from here?

I don’t want Abigail to lose the Van Buren love of my life, but Dear Abby it’s killing me inside that he has to put up with my drinking problem. — NEEDS HELP IN FLORIDA DEAR NEEDS HELP: There is abuse going on in your relationship — substance abuse. Until you finally decide that there is something more important than a drink, you will remain stuck in your addiction. And as long as

your partner continues to accept and “handle it,” he will be your enabler.

Where you go from here is up to you, but getting counseling for your low self-esteem and going back to AA would be steps in the right direction.

DEAR ABBY: It seems that every other letter you print concerns a demanding relative (a parent, in-law, sibling, etc.). The writer always wants to know how to avoid unreasonable demands without causing “unpleasantness.” May I say a word to these folks?

Be honest and admit that the relationship is already unpleasant. Demanding people are impossible to please. They

know their control over you depends on temper tantrums and/or fits of sulking and tears. They’ll pitch these fits regularly no matter how hard you try to please them.

When faced with an unreasonable demand, just say “no.” Don’t waste time giving reasons or trying to work out a compromise.

You already know it won’t work. Then hunker down and wait for the explosion, keeping in mind that the longer you have been a doormat, the more bitter the reaction will be.

Above all, do not be drawn into a fight! Controlling people love to fight, and they are good at it. Your weapon should be polite withdrawal. Re-

fuse meetings. Screen your calls. Ignore letters and emails unless they contain an apology and indicate a sincere desire for change. It may shock your domineering relatives into more reasonable behavior.

If not, you haven’t lost a thing. You may even find that your life is less complicated without them. Draw the line and let your family know that future relationships will be based on love and respect, or there will be no future relations. You won’t regret it. — BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, KNOXVILLE, TENN. DEAR BEEN THERE: People who have spent a lifetime trying to please

others may find your recommendations difficult to put into practice.

Habits can become so entrenched that they are hard to break without coaching and positive reinforcement. That is why I advise those who feel constantly put upon to consider taking classes in assertiveness training.

CONFIDENTIAL TO MY READERS: Have a happy, healthy and safe Fourth of July, everyone!

(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.)

taught you the lesson that will help you succeed in breaking through a barrier today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re already on the ride. All you have to

do now is sit back and let it take you where it goes. As with all rides, you’ll wind up back where you started, but you’ll have a new adventure under your belt.

Horoscopes

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS Happy birthday, America! With your sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in Cancer, you are truly an ever-changing nation in sync with the moon’s rhythm. Your natal moon in the forward-thinking and humanitarian sign of Aquarius suggests continual innovation and the tendency to rush youthfully forward to embrace the fresh challenges of the future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The simple desire to make another person feel positive and good is the essence of charm.

You’re feeling so confident now that you’re able to focus on others without a worry as to your own gain from the situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Other people’s wants do not always

require an automatic response from you. Think about the best way to help first. Be careful not to fly to someone’s aid out of a compulsory need to be the rescuer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have an openness about you now.

Maybe it’s your smile or twinkling eyes, or maybe it’s because your head is held high. Whatever it is, interesting people will approach you because of it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t believe that the leader is better than everyone else, only more experienced.

Someone has to take charge, and you’ll decide that that someone is you. You do this in a very humble, human way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Everyone wants to be loved by a person who

doesn’t demand gratification in return. Unconditional love doesn’t want anything. It’s rare and hard to find, and it’s the kind of love you feel for someone now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You can’t force a plant to grow. You can only create the conditions that are most conducive to its thriving.

There are many things about your life that will blossom in time if you plant the seed and then back off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Short-term fixes only lead to future problems.

Find solutions that are going to help things once and for all. Any action you take that speaks to the big picture will be good luck.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Success means actively seeking the kinds

of activities that fit your skills and talents. When an activity makes you feel less than excited about being you, look for something else to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A strong desire to feel wanted may lead to becoming overly involved in the business of others. Make yourself happy in other ways instead. Develop a strong core of self-acceptance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Your energy is a sacred currency; your time, a holy commodity. Therefore, you’ll be extremely mindful as to how you use these resources. Your actions will be slow and deliberate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You are not likely to forget the time you tried and failed in the past, because it

Duranta’s yellow-orange fruit provides a fantastic contrast to its flowers, as they are often seen together through the season. ers.

For the best landscape effect, plant Duranta in full sun or no more than partial shade. Amend the

landscape soil with organic matter to increase drainage, especially in tight, clay soils. Feed monthly with water-solu-

ble fertilizer to keep your Duranta in peak form.

Duranta is very tolerant of pruning, so don’t be afraid to give your plants

a trim every once in a while to keep them neat.

These plants are hardy in zones 9 to 11, but they will die back to the ground after a frost or freeze. In northern Mississippi, Duranta will die back to the ground each winter but will rebound the following spring. Fruit production may be limited in the northern counties.

Treat your Duranta as you would a butterfly bush, and prune the aerial stems back to about 4 inches long each spring before the foliage emerges.

Find a place in your container or landscape for this tropical native and enjoy the beauty it brings to your garden.
