Suit filed in fatal police shooting

BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com

BOONEVILLE — The family of a Booneville man who died last spring after being shot during an altercation with police officers has filed a civil lawsuit against the officers involved and the city of Booneville.

The sons of David Andrew Curtiss filed the suit in federal court in Aberdeen against Booneville police officers Rusty McCoy and Brian Mays and the City of Booneville last Wednesday. The family is seeking damages in excess of $150,000 for the violation of Curtiss’ civil

rights through the use of excessive force and other violations.

Curtiss was shot and killed by McCoy on April 23, 2012, as officers responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance outside of his ex-wife Cheryl Curtiss’ home at 201 Stanley Street Extended.

Evidence in the case was presented last year to a Prentiss County Grand Jury which cleared the officers of any criminal wrongdoing.

The family’s lawsuit claims Curtiss was unarmed and did not present a threat to McCoy when he approached him out-

side the home. The filing, which provides only the family’s side of the legal argument, states Curtiss was complying with McCoy’s orders when Mays shot him with a Taser stun gun.

Rubbish change nearing

Alcorn County’s changeover from the landfill to the transfer station for rubbish disposal is coming up next Thursday.

Purchase Clerk Paul Rhodes said the county wants to remind residents of the Aug. 1 change and notify them of a slight difference in hours that comes as Waste Connections begins handling rubbish disposal at the transfer station.

Hours will extend slightly compared to those that were offered at the landfill on Proper Street. At the transfer station on South Harper, hours will be 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

Residents will pay a $5 fee for disposal of normal loads while those bringing larger loads will pay a tipping fee of $22.98 per ton.

Waste Connections is preparing the transfer station for opening, and the county is moving some equipment from there to the landfill where it will be cleaned up and likely sold. The county

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin will be in the driver’s seat on the Mississippi Municipal League’s Legislative Committee for 2013-2014.

MML President Tim Waldrup, who is mayor of Ellisville, appointed Irwin to chair the committee. In that role, Irwin will lead the MML’s lobbying efforts during the upcoming 2014 session of the Legislature.

It will be another opportunity to talk about his top issue, infrastructure. He was an outspoken proponent of an optional sales tax for cities through a Citizens for Economic Development Act during the last legislative session.

“The pursuit to get income to help cities rebuild infrastructure is going to be at the top of the list,” said Irwin.

While CEDA failed to pass in the 2013 session, Irwin expects another big push for the legislation in the upcoming session.

“Basically, all of the cities in Mississippi are like Corinth — we’ve got to have a way to fix infrastructure,” he said.

Men at work $4.2 million overlay project on schedule

BY BOBBY J. SMITH bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Construction is underway on the stretch of U.S. Highway 45 that passes through Corinth.

The $4.2 million project will provide a new overlay from just south of the Harper Road exit to the Tennessee state line. Approximately 17,000 cars pass through this section of U.S. 45 each day, said Northern District MDOT Commissioner Mike

Tagert.

“This is an important corridor, not only for Corinth and Northeast Mississippi, but the entire tri-state area,” said Tagert. “A tremendous number of people pass through this area, and that is an indicator for economic growth.”

Tagert said the project has been in the works for a number of years.

“We do continuous monitor-

ing of the roads. Cracks and potholes are used as a measuring tool to prioritize the route,” said Tagert. “We’ve wanted to do this for the last couple of years.”

The estimated finish date for the project is Sept. 10. Tagert said he believes the construction crews will meet the date.

The project is funded jointly by the state and federal government. The contract was awarded to APAC Mississippi.

Gulf well fire ‘snuffed itself out’ Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — A drilling rig that caught fire after a natural gas blowout in the Gulf of Mexico appears stable now that the fire is out, and there was no sign of any oil sheen on a fly-over Thursday morning, a rig company executive said.

“The well essentially snuffed itself out,” said Jim Noe, a vice president with the rig owner Hercules Offshore Inc., speaking in a telephone interview.

The well had blown wild Tuesday, forcing the evacuation of 44 workers. The rig

caught fire Tuesday night and part of it collapsed.

The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement announced Thursday morning that the well had clogged with sand and sediment, a process called “bridging over” that Noe said can commonly happen with shallow water wells.

Now, officials are focusing efforts on permanently plugging the well and finding out why it blew wild — including why the blowout preventer system on the rig failed to stop the accident.

There were no injuries

when the blowout occurred about 55 miles off the Louisiana coast at a well operated by Walter Oil & Gas. When the fire was raging, officials said they were preparing to drill a relief well nearby to divert the gas and end the blowout and fire. Such a step is probably not necessary now that the fire is out and the well has bridged over, said Adam Bourgoyne, an industry consultant and a former dean of Louisiana State University’s petroleum engineering department.

He said finding some way to seal or cap the well

permanently will be much easier now. Well control experts should now be able to get close to the rig and examine it.

“You never know anything for certain but usually if it bridges it doesn’t re-start,” Bourgoyne said.

The rig is in 154 feet of water, relatively shallow in terms of offshore drilling.

The Hercules 265 was built in 1982. It was certified by the American Bureau of Shipping until September 2017 and by the Coast Guard through July 4, 2017, according to federal records.

Court gives inmate chance with DNA test Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has given death row inmate Willie Jerome Manning the chance to argue before a judge for DNA and fingerprint testing that he alleges will show him innocent in the deaths of two college students.

The high court on Thursday gave Manning 60 days to file a brief in Oktibbeha County Circuit Court, where he was convicted, to support his motion for DNA testing and fingerprint analysis.

The order reversed an earlier decision in which the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against Manning’s request for DNA testing.

Manning argues that technological strides in the past two decades in DNA testing could lead to proof that he is innocent of killing two Mississippi State University students in 1992.

The Supreme Court had stopped Manning’s execution on May 7 so it could further review his arguments.

The bodies of Jon Steckler and Tiffany Miller were found in rural Oktibbeha County in December 1992. Manning, now 44, was convicted in 1994 and sentenced to death. Prosecutors said Manning was arrested after he tried to sell some items belonging to the victims.

Manning’s efforts to stop his execution were

Attorney general’s office rebutted that testing wouldn’t exonerate Manning because the evidence is so overwhelming. supported by the U.S. Justice Department. The department had said there were errors in FBI agents’ testimony about ballistics tests and hair analysis in the case.

The FBI said its microscopic analysis of evidence, particularly of hair samples found in the car of one of the victims, contained erroneous statements. The FBI also said there was incorrect testimony related to tests on bullets in the case.

The FBI has offered to conduct the DNA testing.

Manning’s lawyers said in filings with the Mississippi Supreme Court that the execution should be blocked based on the Justice Department’s disclosures and until further testing could be done.

The Mississippi attorney general’s office rebutted that testing wouldn’t exonerate Manning because the evidence is so overwhelming.

Also Thursday, the state Supreme Court denied Manning’s request for a hearing on the Justice Department’s filings on the reliability of expert testimony.

It also denied Manning’s request to have his convictions set aside.

Curtiss in the back while he was already incapacitated and beginning to fall to the ground due to the shot from the Taser.

The lawsuit claims the officer’s actions violated Curtiss’ constitutional rights due to the use of

unnecessary and excessive force. It also alleges the police department failed to provide sufficient supervision and training to the officers in the use of deadly force.

The family is seeking a minimum of $150,000 in damages for pain and suffering, loss of wages,

medical, hospital and funeral expenses, loss of family and relationships and other punitive damages.

None of the defendants in the case have yet filed a response to the lawsuit.

City attorney Daniel Tucker said Monday the city has not yet been offi-

Construction on new high school behind schedule Associated Press

OXFORD — Oxford School District officials are still planning for the new high school to ready for students in January.

That’s despite a report this week that construction is now 54 days behind schedule.

Less than 136 days remained as of Monday for Yates Construction to complete the building on time. Officials tell the Oxford Eagle that the critical work now being done is roofing the five buildings, brick work and the slab for the chiller plant.

“Yates is committed to the contract completion date. There is a great deal of work to be completed in the next five months,”

Sonny Brownlee, director of school services for the district, said in his written report to the Oxford School Board.

Brownlee said the roof was supposed to be on by the end of June and is still not completed.

The rainy weather this week continues to prevent work crews from finishing the roof.

“We certainly hope to be in by January 2014,” Superintendent Brian Harvey told a civic club this week.

“It is important because of our other renovations planned in the spring, including the current Oxford High School and then Bramlett Elementary.”

Harvey said the new

school is necessary to address a steady 5 percent to 7 percent annual growth in students in the district.

The Oxford Elementary School construction project is on time and will be completed in the next two weeks, Harvey said.

The school board last month hired Howorth & Associates Architects to begin work on the Bramlett Elementary School construction project.

Work is planned to begin in the summer 2014.

The school will be renovated to make way for a pre-kindergarten and kindergarten school as well as making adjustments to the air conditioning units and roof.

UT, Med partnership in new women’s-infants’ hospital Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The medical college of the University of Tennessee is planning to build a women’s and infants’ hospital, in conjunction with the Regional Medical Center in Memphis.

The new hospital will be build adjacent to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital on the campus of the UT Health Science Center near downtown Memphis, The Commercial Appeal reported.

Kennard Brown, the medical school’s executive vice chancellor, said the university’s strategy is to build a world-class facility that will attract expectant mothers from across the region.

“So we need that worldclass, stateof-the-art, woman’s and infant’s kind of facility.”

Kennard Brown Executive vice chancellor Brown provided a campus tour for state and local elected officials on Wednesday.

Brown said Shelby County’s infant death rate of 9.6 per 1,000 is an improvement on earlier statistics, but still matches that of some third-world

countries.

“So we need that worldclass, state-of-the-art, woman’s and infant’s kind of facility,” he said.

The new hospital is expected to cost $200 million, with UT providing the land.

Planning for the hospital, named the “University of Tennessee Regional Medical Center Women’s & Infant’s Pavilion,” has begun. Officials have studied facilities in Houston and other cities for models.

An initial proposal for the venture was presented to UT’s Board of Trustees last November. A more detailed plan could be presented to boards of UT and the Regional Medical Center next year, Brown said.

International Paper’s 2nd quarter net income nearly doubles Associated Press

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — International Paper Co., the paper and packaging company, said Thursday that its second-quarter net income nearly doubled as it raised its prices for its boxes.

“As we move into the second half of the year, the company is well positioned to significantly improve earnings and free cash flow for the balance of 2013,” he said in a statement.

The Memphis, Tenn.based company said that it earned $259 million, or 57 cents per share, in the three months ending June 30.

That’s up from $134 million, or 31 cents per share, in the same period a year ago.

Corinth, Miss.

Obama economy emphasis is all talk We have a president who loves to give campaign speeches to adoring crowds, but who doesn’t seem to have much interest in governing.

That was apparent Wednesday, when Barack Obama delivered the first of several promised “pivot to the economy” speeches at Knox College in Galesburg, Ill., where he spoke eight years ago as a newly elected U.S. senator.

The hour-long speech started off with some characteristic Micahel self-referencing and ended Barone with a quotation from GalesColumnist burg native Carl Sandburg.

But in between there was not much in the way of serious public policy.

Nothing much that seems likely to speed up the nation’s sluggish economic growth or to increase the lowest-in-three-decades labor force participation.

Obama called for increasing the minimum wage. That always tests well in polls. But in real life it tends not to create but to destroy jobs, especially for young people with few skills and little work experience.

He also called for job retraining, a Community College to Career Initiative. Unfortunately, studies have shown for years that government job training programs aren’t very effective.

In the meantime, the administration and congressional Democrats have been launching attacks on for-profit higher education firms, many of which do a better job of equipping young people for the job market.

The president said more about his proposal for universal pre-school education. But the administration’s own studies have shown that the Head Start program produces little in the way of lasting educational gains.

This looks more like an expensive attempt to create more jobs for teacher union members -- and more union-dues money to help elect Democratic politicians -- than a serious attempt to stimulate the economy.

More serious perhaps was his call for more investment in infrastructure, and for once Obama did not tout his ludicrously expensive plans for high-speed passenger rail.

But neither his administration nor Congress has been able to come up with financing to supplement the gasoline tax, which no longer provides sufficient revenue for road-building.

Obama noted that Atlantic ports are not prepared to handle the supertankers that will be coming through the widened Panama Canal in 2015. What has his administration been doing about that?

Infrastructure was not the only policy on which the president provided slogans rather than specifics. He called for expansion of taxfree savings programs as part of tax reform.

But has the administration made any serious effort to engage with the tax-writing committee chairmen on the subject?

Obama called for giving every homeowner a chance to refinance their mortgages, something that many have done, although administration programs to do so have helped far fewer than predicted.

And, ominously, he added, “I’m also acting on my own to cut red tape for responsible families who want to get a mortgage, but the bank says no.” But didn’t the granting of mortgages to non-creditworthy borrowers trigger the collapse of the housing market?

Inevitably, Obama talked about the Affordable Care Act and predicted gamely that people will be able to “comparison shop in an online marketplace, just like you would for TVs or plane tickets,” even as fellow Democrats are predicting a train wreck.

But Obamacare is an increasingly hard sell.

Voters seem to have gotten the idea that it’s causing businesses not to hire or to cut back workers’ hours.

The problem Obama faces on this latest pivot to the economy is that most voters believe his policies have retarded rather than stimulated economic growth and job creation. This speech is not likely to change their minds.

(Michael Barone, senior political analyst for The Washington Examiner (www.washingtonexaminer.com), is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Fox News Channel contributor and a co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.)

Prayer for today Lord God, if I am discouraged this morning, may I pause for thine encouragement.

Grant that the fear of the night may make no decline in my morn, but that “into the future I may fuse the past,” and use what is clearest for today. Amen.

A verse to share “For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.”

-- Psalm 78:32-33

Americans losing faith in government Now for some good news, and it has nothing to do with the birth of the royal baby.

According to a USA Today/Bipartisan Policy Center poll, “Americans by more than 2-1 say the best way to make positive changes in society is through volunteer organizations and charities, not by being active in government.” Even better news: People under 30 are especially put off by politics and are “significantly less likely than their parents to say participating in politics is an important value in their lives.”

Why is this good news?

There are at least two reasons. One is that the less faith people have in government, the more they are likely to have in themselves.

The second is that a public loss of faith in politics and politicians increases the possibility of government becoming smaller. That could mean less spending, a smaller deficit and ultimately, one hopes, lower taxes.

On the same day the USA Today poll was published, a McClatchy-Marist poll found President Obama

Cal Thomas Columnist

“is suffering his lowest approval numbers in nearly two years.” His June approval rating was 41 percent, down from 50 percent

in April.

Obama’s endless speeches aren’t cutting it. The public wants the action it was promised. It’s not getting any and so is increasingly disillusioned with politics and politicians. Republicans don’t escape blame.

The McClatchy-Marist poll found only 22 percent of those surveyed approve of congressional Republicans.

Again, this is -- or can be -- good news for the country and even for Republicans if they get the message. USA Today quotes Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill.: “There’s a skepticism of government.

Young people say, if I want to feed the hungry or make a difference for cancer patients, it’s easier to do that through a non-profit and see the tangible results up close than, say, trying to

push for federal funding to do the same.”

At 32, Schock is the second-youngest member of Congress and may reflect the attitude of many of his generation.

What’s the message?

It is that the states, especially those with Republican governors, are mostly doing a far better job in addressing people’s needs and wants than Washington. As Peter Roff notes in U.S. News, “... while the ‘blue states’ are running up debt and flirting with bankruptcy, the ‘red states’ continue to take the lead in cutting taxes, streamlining government and job creation, according to a report issued Monday by the State Government Leadership Foundation ...”

Charitable organizations are addressing problems the federal government only talks about. World Magazine, a biweekly Christian publication, has given its annual “Hope Award for Effective Compassion” (note the word “Effective”) to My Safe Harbor, an organization in Anaheim, Calif., that “helps single mothers break the dysfunctional cycle of broken homes.” The

program promotes faith, personal responsibility and accountability for one’s actions.

Its goal is not to addict people to a government check, but to free them from dependency so they can have the dignity that goes with earning their own check. It is an anti-poverty program that works.

If Republicans want to regain trust, they should be focusing less on the failures of Democrats and more on the successes of Republican governors, Republican legislatures, charitable organizations like My Safe Harbor and volunteers. They are achieving goals Washington can’t. Instead, Washington continues to misspend too much money with little to show for it, except ever-increasing debt.

The USA Today poll found that young people put “elected official or working for one” at the very bottom of their career choices.

Given the performance of Washington’s political class, who can blame them?

Faces on a barroom floor make for inspiring prose OURAY, Colo. — I’m sitting on a barstool at the Old Western Hotel in Ouray, just above the well-preserved Juanita. She looks good for her age (about 78), because each year she gets a little work -- another two or three coats of polyurethane.

Live and learn. I thought the poem “The Face on the Barroom Floor” was written

by Robert Service, bard of the Yukon. A common mistake, according to a website about all things Service.

This is one bar tale he didn’t imagine.

The popular poem was written by Hugh Antoine d’Arcy in 1887, who himself adapted -- read that, borrowed heavily -- from an earlier version by poet John Henry Titus. It may go back farther than that; sounds almost biblical.

Tex Ritter and Hank Snow both had country hits with songs based on the same idea, and once, Mad magazine had its way with the iconic story of an

The sufferRheta ing artist ofJohnson fers to paint her face on Columnist the barroom floor by way of illustration and for another drink. While painting planks, he falls over dead.

That’s truly fodder for the ultimate drinking-awayyour-sorrows song.

I’m not sure how many faces there are on how many barroom floors, but I suspect a few. There are at least two here in Colorado, painted by Herndon Davis in about 1936. He was a newspaper illustrator who later worked as a Smithsonian artist. The face he painted on floors was that of his wife, Juanita.

I’m also not sure when America became a place for touring instead of living, but I think the automobile

air conditioner must have something to do with it. It’s painless now to find yourself somewhere other than where you belong. We all go to bars where nobody knows our name.

There probably isn’t a miner in the joint, though some mining still goes on around Ouray and it’s possible. Miners no longer leave their mules parked outside as a telltale sign.

Those of us here look more like tourists, some waiting for Jeep rides up a mountain -- “we drive; you look” -- or simply trying to imagine ourselves in another era, an era with more character and fewer computers, when hotel bars had stuffed mountain lions and nude women above and brass foot railings below.

Today the Old Western is owned by Rosemarie Pieper-Nederend, herself a good story. She was raised in South Holland, where her father made Gouda cheese. From the age of 12, she prepared the family’s meals. In the Netherlands, she once worked for one of her queen’s designated bakeries.

Rosemarie is blond and regal. Some itinerant with no money for beer should paint her face on the floor next to Juanita’s. Let a few decades pass, throw in a few bar fights, that fresh face would inspire poetry and song and fanciful stories with fictional angst.

The curious would drive from faraway places like Mississippi to see her. A face on a barroom floor is a definite draw, something to build a business around, a spot of color in a world of plain planks and rotting timber.

Debate over NSA returns to full roar WASHINGTON — After 9/11, there were no shades of gray. There are plenty now.

The vigorous debate over the collection of millions of Americans’ phone records, underlined by a narrow House vote upholding the practice, buried any notion that it’s out of line, even unpatriotic, to challenge the national security efforts of the government.

Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, joined in common cause against the Obama administration’s aggressive surveillance, falling just short Wednesday night against a similarly jumbled and determined coalition of leaders and lawmakers who supported it.

It’s not every day you see Republican Speaker John Boehner and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi facing off together against their own parties’ colleagues — with an assist from Rep. Michele Bachmann, no less — to help give President Barack Obama what he wanted.

But that’s what it took to overcome efforts to restrict the National Security Agency’s surveillance program.

After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, President George W. Bush warned the world “either you are with us or you are with the terrorists,â€? period, and those few politicians who objected to anything the U.S. wanted to do for its national security looked like oddballs. Â

Zimmerman juror says she owes apology ORLANDO, Fla.— The second juror to speak publicly told ABC News in an interview made available Thursday that she feels George Zimmerman got away with murder for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin, but that there wasn’t enough evidence at trial to convict him under Florida law.

Juror B29 told Robin Roberts that she favored convicting Zimmerman of second-degree murder when deliberations began by the six-member, all-women jury. “I was the juror that was going to give them a hung jury,� she said. “I fought to the end.�

But by the second day of deliberating, she realized there wasn’t enough proof to convict the 29-year-old neighborhood watch volunteer of a crime. “George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can’t get away from God,â€? she said. “And at the end of the day, he’s going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with.â€? Â

program is likely to be a key item on the agenda during U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to Pakistan, which is expected soon.

Only 16 drone strikes have taken place in Pakistan so far this year, compared with a peak of 122 in 2010, 73 in 2011 and 48 in 2012, according to the New America Foundation, a U.S.-based think tank.

The CIA has been instructed to be more cautious with its attacks, limiting them to highvalue targets and dropping the practice of socalled “signature strikesâ€? — hitting larger groups of suspected militants based purely on their behavior, such as being armed and meeting with known militants, said a current U.S. intelligence official and a former intelligence official briefed on the drone program. Â

Russians, Ukrainian accused of hacking NEWARK, N.J. — Four Russian nationals and a Ukrainian have been charged with running a sophisticated hacking organization that penetrated computer networks of more than a dozen major American and international corporations over seven years, stealing and selling at least 160 million credit and debit card numbers, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Indictments were announced Thursday in Newark, where U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman called the case the largest hacking and data breach scheme ever prosecuted in the United States.

Princeton-based Heartland Payment Systems Inc., which processes credit and debit cards for small to mid-sized businesses, was identified as taking the biggest hit in a scheme starting in 2007 — the theft of more than 130 million card numbers at a loss of about $200 million.

Atlanta-based Global Payment Systems, another major payment processing company, had nearly 1 million card numbers stolen, with losses of nearly $93 million, prosecutors said.

The indictment did not put a loss figure on the

thefts at some other major corporations, including Commidea Ltd., a European provider of electronic payment processing for retailers. Â

Tropical Storm Dorian stays strong MIAMI — Tropical Storm Dorian is maintaining its strength as it moves across the open Atlantic, far from land.

The storm’s maximum sustained winds were near 60 mph Thursday evening.

Dorian is centered about 1,670 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands, off the coast of west Africa, and is moving west-northwest near 18 mph.

Currently, there are no land threats from the storm.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Flossie is spinning in the Pacific, also far from land. Flossie’s maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph but is expected to weaken.

The storm is centered about 1,255 miles westsouthwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California and is moving farther out into the open ocean. Â

Justice questions Texas voting rights WASHINGTON — The Obama administration opened an aggressive new front in the battle over voter protection Thursday, singling out Texas for legal action and promising broader efforts to come after last month’s Supreme Court ruling that wiped out a major provision of the Voting Rights Act. It was the administration’s first legal response to counter the justices’ 5-4 decision, but Attorney General Eric Holder pledged that “it will not be our last.�

In a speech to the National Urban League in Philadelphia, Holder called the Voting Rights Act “the cornerstone of modern civil rights law� and said that “we cannot allow the slow unraveling of the progress that so many, throughout history, have sacrificed so much to achieve.�

Texas Republicans suggested the administration effort was more about politics.

Sales tax holiday weekend coming JACKSON — Mississippi’s annual sales tax holiday begins at 12:01 a.m. Friday and ends at midnight Saturday.

For retailers, it is one of their busiest times of the year.

As in previous years, shoppers can save 7 percent on certain clothes and shoes that cost $100 or less per item.

Sixteen other states have sales-tax holidays, with some going beyond back-to-school products to include tax exemptions for hunting and hurricane seasons and energy-efficient appliances and equipment.

Alabama’s eighth annual sales tax holiday for school-related items runs Aug. 2-4 and allows savings on certain school supplies, computers, books and clothing. Â

MDOT continues work on I-269 HOLLY SPRINGS — The Mississippi Department of Transportation has begun work on the last section of Interstate 269.

The project will add more than six miles of I-269 from Shinault Road in Byhalia to Mississippi Highway 302 in Marshall County.

Northern District Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert says in a news release that all sections of the highway are now in the construction phase in Mississippi.

Tagert says I-269 will

provide a means for commercial vehicles to move raw materials and manufactured goods through the region.

Construction of I-269 includes seven projects and about 25 miles of four-lane highway from Interstate 55 near Hernando through DeSoto and Marshall counties to the Tennessee state line.

Construction is scheduled to be complete in fall 2015. Â

Brown nomination vote postponed JACKSON — A vote on the nomination of Jackson attorney Debra M. Brown to a federal judgeship in north Mississippi has been postponed by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Brown’s nomination was one of four before the committee Thursday. Votes on all four were postponed.

The committee has not yet scheduled another meeting.

President Barack Obama nominated Brown in May. The judgeship presides over court in Greenville.

If confirmed, Brown would become the state’s first black female district judge.

The post became open in 2012 by the death of U.S. District Judge W. Allen Pepper Jr. Brown works in the Jackson law firm Wise Carter Child & Caraway.

Brown graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Mississippi State University and a law degree from the University of Mississippi.

River levels to drop over next 10 days VICKSBURG — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has reopened the gates at the Steel Bayou structure as Mississippi River levels continue to drop.

The Corps says in a news release that about 13 feet of water from Steele Bayou will drain over 110,000 acres of land in the lower Yazoo Back water area.

The gates at the Little Sunflower structure are currently open.

The Corps will open the Muddy Bayou gates during the next week to allow water levels in Eagle Lake to drop about two feet. Eagle Lake residents and dock owners have endured higher than normal lake levels since mid-February. Â

Denbury pays fine for oil well blowout JACKSON — Denbury Resources is paying a $662,500 fine to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, following a 2011 oil well blowout in Yazoo County.

The incident raises questions about whether companies pumping carbon dioxide underground to force up oil are doing enough to ensure old wells are safely capped. Denbury has had at least two other blowouts in Mississippi since 2007.

Environmental regulators say an abandoned well south of Yazoo City began venting carbon dioxide, oil and drilling mud on Aug. 9, 2011, continuing for 37 days.

US scales down drone program The United States has drastically scaled back the number of drone attacks against militants in Pakistan and limited strikes to high-value targets in response to growing criticism of the program in this country.

Those actions appear to have temporarily appeased Pakistan’s powerful generals, who publicly oppose the covert CIA strikes, U.S. officials said. But some officials are still worried about pushback from Pakistan’s new civilian leaders, who took power in June with a strong stance on ending the attacks altogether.

CAN THE LEOPARD CHANGE ITS SPOTS?

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?”

(Jeremiah 13:23) When you hear someone accusing another of having “leopard spots”, they almost invariably mean that person has a bad natureand that they. like leopard spots, are never going to change.

For example, the father of a jilted daughter warns, “Stay away from that boy! He’s no good, and he’s never going to change. You can’t change a leopard’s spot!”

That’s the way the analogy usually goes. But is that the way Jeremiah used it?

No! Since God does not create evil (James 1:12), He created man “good”. Man CHOSE to do evil.

When you and I sin against God in the likeness of Adam’s sin (and we all have), it is not because of how God made us--it is against the way God made us.

The Ethiopian’s skin (or any race’s pigmentation, for that matter) is determined by the dominant gene of his parents. It is determined by birth. Character, on the other hand, is determined by the choices we all make-good or bad.

God wants those choices to be good ones--according to His will and consistent with the way He made us. Moreover, he has provided a way for us to receive forgiveness for our many bad choices, that we may be able to be partakers of the “divine nature”, (II Peter 1:4) I urge you to read your Bible and seek forgiveness on God’s terms.

Meanwhile, let me give you the rest of Jeremiah 13:23-·” Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Then may YOU ALSO DO GOOD who are accustomed (taught) to do evil.” (emphasis mine, DE)

$3 million slot machine jackpot won in Tunica TUNICA — A Southaven man has won a $3 million jackpot at the Fitz Casino & Hotel in Tunica.

The man, identified in a news release as Christopher B., was playing a $5 statewide progressive Wheel of Fortune slot machine Sunday when he won.

The jackpot was the third on a Wheel of Fortune machine this month in Mississippi.

On July 2, Charles Rhodes of Woodville, Ala., won $1.5 million on the penny Wheel of Fortune at Hard Rock Casino Biloxi.

On July 19, Aaron K. of Baton Rouge, La. won $2.1 million on a 50-cent Wheel of Fortune at Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi.

The largest Progressive Jackpot win in the state was a $14 million Wheel of Fortune jackpot won by a Biloxi man at Hard Rock Casino Biloxi.

Firefighter’s son facing charges in dad’s death PEARL — A Mississippi man, whose father died after he punched him during a family vacation in Orlando, Fla., is now charged with manslaughter in the death.

Officials with the Orange County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department, say 21-year-old Taylor Harris will be picked up sometime next week.

Fifty-two-year-old Leonard Dwayne Harris, a Pearl firefighter, died July 17 at a Jackson, Miss., hospital.

His death came less than 24 hours after being flown back to Mississippi from Florida, where he had been in critical condition at an Orlando hospital since an altercation outside a restaurant on July 7.

Taylor Harris was initially charged with aggravated battery and domestic violence. The charges were upgraded after the elder Harris’ death. He had been free on bond. He is being held in the Rankin County jail.

Horn Lake moving forward on hotel-motel tax vote HORN LAKE — Horn Lake hopes to get the ball rolling soon on a referendum for a hotel-motel tax that could generate thousands of dollars in revenue without taxing residents.

The referendum is the latest chapter in the troubled history of the city’s hotel-motel tax, which dates back to 2002. State legislators approved a four-year tax and renewed it in 2006. Another extension was not considered in 2010

and the tax therefore expired, but officials continued to collect it.

After the error was caught, money that had been collected without authorization was placed in escrow and has been there since.

City Administrator Andrea Freeze told The Commercial Appeal Wednesday she thought there was about $105,000 in escrow currently. Lawmakers this past session approved new legislation authorizing a hotel-motel tax and made it retroactive.

McComb police chief to retire in August MCCOMB — McComb Police Chief Greg Martin, who has been with the police department about 30 years, will retire Aug. 30.

Martin has been police chief since July of 2009. He was named as acting police chief after the retirement of Chief Billie Hughes in September of 2008.

The Enterprise-Journal reports that the mayor and board of selectmen voted this week to accept Martin’s letter of retirement.

Martin says his future plans include as many hobbies as he can find and learning how to live a more relaxed life.

Mayor Whitney Rawlings says he and the selectmen will discuss Martin’s replacement at an Aug. 6 work session.

Fallon talks fatherhood on NBC’s ‘Late Night’ NEW YORK — It wasn’t quite a royal proclamation, but Jimmy Fallon has shared the name of his family’s new addition: Winnie Rose.

Fallon joked in his “Late Night” monologue Wednesday that he hasn’t had a chance to respond to everyone’s messages, “but let me just say — Yes, William and Kate, we’ll definitely set up a play date.”

Fallon and his wife, Nancy Juvonen Fallon, welcomed their daughter Tuesday morning.

The 38-year-old Fallon takes over NBC’s “The Tonight Show” from Jay Leno next year after hosting “Late Night” since 2009.

Fallon thanked fans for their support on social networks and joked about chasing people down to show them pictures of his baby: “Now I understand why people are on Facebook. I get it now, I get it.”

Judge fines woman who cursed at selection ERIE, Pa. — A Pennsylvania woman has been fined $500 for cursing because she was frustrated with being picked to serve on a jury.

The Erie Times-News reports Erie County Judge Ernest DiSantis levied the fine Wednesday on Kathleen Port.

DiSantis told the Erie woman she was “totally out of line” and explained jury service is a duty of citizenship.

Port, whose phone number is unlisted, apologized several times but was fined nonetheless.

She told the judge she was upset because jury service would

make her miss work and cost her income.

DiSantis says Port could have claimed a hardship on her jury service questionnaire, but did not.

Port was also thrown off the jury, which was picked to hear an illegal weapons case.

Furniture company to stick with Paula Deen Collection HIGH POINT, N.C. — The North Carolina-based home furnishings company that markets Paula Deen’s furniture line is sticking with the embattled celebrity chef.

The High Point Enterprise reports that Universal Furniture International will continue to market the Paula Deen Home Collection.

Deen has been under fire since the revelation earlier this year of a legal deposition in which Deen admitted under oath to having used the N-word. Many companies have dropped Deen since the deposition became public.

Jeff Scheffer with Universal Furniture says he feels bad for Deen.

He says the Deen he knows isn’t the one who has been portrayed in the media recently.

Scheffer wrote retailers saying his company accepts Deen’s apologies for her previous comments. He says part of the decision is based on retail customer feedback.

Montana man injured when bridge jumper lands on him MISSOULA, Mont. — A western Montana man floating on an inner tube suffered broken bones in his legs and torn ligaments in his knees when another man jumped from a bridge and landed in his lap.

Andy Hill of Missoula and his

wife were floating under a bridge on the Clark Fork River near East Missoula Sunday when the man landed on him, KECI-TV reported.

“Suddenly I had intense pain and was under water,” Hill said.

“There was a guy on my lap and he rolled off my lap and he just kept apologizing saying ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,’” Hill said.

The man swam Hill to shore, still on the inner tube, and the man’s friend helped Hill as well.

Hill suffered broken bones in both lower legs and a cracked femur in his left leg and will likely spend the rest of the summer in a wheelchair or on crutches.

But he’s been able to keep his sense of humor.

“Who does this happen to?” asked Hill, laughing. “I don’t know of anybody this has ever happened to.”

Missoula County authorities say the man who jumped could be charged.

MSU adopts new commercial tailgating policies Special to the Daily Corinthian

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State University has adopted new policies designed to manage the expansion of commercial tailgating companies in areas traditionally used by fans who set up their own tents and tailgating facilities.

MSU’s Special Events and Game Day Operations Committee adopted the new policies after extensive debate and study of the issues developing at MSU. The committee also reviewed the commercial tailgating policies of several peer institutions with growing, successful athletic programs.

The committee noted the proliferation of such policies

across the Southeastern Conference as commercial tailgating operations gain popularity and tensions develop between traditional tailgaters and those who prefer to pay commercial vendors to provide their tailgating setups.

A commercial tailgating fee system for commercial tailgating companies outlined in the new policies will be waived in 2013, but will be levied during the 2014 season to pay for the costs of management and enforcement. The full policy can be reviewed at: www.msstate.edu/web/temp/commercialtents.pdf.

“We were concerned about the potential encroachment

on the traditional tailgate atmosphere brought about by multiple commercial operators on campus and others seeking to begin operations,” said Don Buffum, MSU’s director of procurement and contracts.

“We regret that these changes may have a negative impact on a small number of our fans but wanted to preserve the firstcome, first-served tradition at MSU tailgates for the majority of fans who continue to set up their own tents.”

Buffum said some commercial tailgating companies have promised to locate customers/ patrons in specific locations, an action that runs counter to the university’s long-standing

first-come, first-served tailgating policy.

“These new policies have nothing to do with the university trying to make money or give better spots to large donors,” Buffum said. “We are waiving the fees this year and implementing the fee next year to cover the cost of planning, marking, and policing the commercial locations to ensure fairness to all MSU fans.”

Under the policies, MSU will designate two areas for commercial tent operations to be comprised of one-half of the amphitheater area and one-half of the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building’s grass area.

A commercial operator will be defined as anyone who is paid to set up 10 or more tents.

If MSU determines that an operator is setting up more than 10 tents and has not registered, MSU reserves the right to restrict their access to campus.

MSU anticipates having about 250 spaces available for commercial operators, Buffum said.

MSU will accommodate as many spaces as possible in the designated areas, but in no way guarantees a certain number of spaces will be available to any commercial operator.

Weygandt also is a 10year pediatric registered nurse and certified child sleep consultant by The Family Sleep Institute.

The 3 C’s of Sleep Training ■ Commitment. The first golden rule of sleep training is that you must be 100% committed to the process. That is you must be willing to see it through from start to finish weathering all the storms along the way.

For many families sleep training is an emotional journey so to be successful you must have a clear goal and a strong sense of tenacity. Without commitment you will find yourself wavering which will quickly send a confusing message to your little one and likely make your existing problem worse.

■ Consistency. The second golden rule of sleep training is that you must be as consistent as possible. Once you have chosen a sleep training method that suits your parenting style, individual circumstances and your child’s personality you must then be diligent about following your plan.

Do your best to prepare for each possible scenario ahead of time by mapping out how you will react and what steps you will take. Decision making is

not optimal when your toddler awakens you at 3 a.m., therefore it is best to have a plan before these occasions arise. Additionally, you must stick to this plan as closely as possible to avoid unintentionally reinforcing negative behaviors. For example, your toddler gets out of his bed Sunday night at 2 a.m. and comes into your room and, as per your plan, you calmly walk him back to his bed; but then when he does it again on Wednesday and you are just too tired to deal with it so you invite him into your bed to get back to sleep you have now given him intermittent reinforcement of this behavior.

■ Confidence. The third golden rule of sleep training is to be confident in your decisions and your action. This is often a very difficult task, especially for new parents, but nonetheless it is essential.

Carry out your sleep plan with the assurance that you are doing the right thing for your baby.

Babies and children can sense your lack of confidence and will react to it — so fake it until you make it — as the saying goes. Exuding confidence in your parenting will help your child learn to not only trust you but also trust themselves- a huge benefit of sleep training. So be sure to arm yourself with plenty of knowledge and a solid plan to help you sleep train with certainty.

A final note: Sleep training is a very personal journey between you and your child. There are no right or wrong answers as each family, each child and each situation is different.

Weygandt has 10 years experience caring for moms, babies and young children. Her work with families in the community has given her a unique perspective on sleep and its importance in normal growth and development. As a Family Sleep Institute Certified Infant & Child Sleep Consultant she works closely with families to develop strategies to create healthy sleep habits for life.

Special to the Daily Corinthian

OXFORD — For the fifth consecutive year, The Chronicle of Higher Education has named the University of Mississippi as one of its “Great Colleges to Work For,” putting the institution in elite company.

“This outstanding recognition for the University of Mississippi reflects on the many faculty, staff and administrators who dedicate tremendous expertise and energy to maintaining a vibrant learning community,” UM Chancellor Dan Jones said. “Our goal is to continually strengthen what we believe to be a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone is valued for what they contribute. As a result, Ole Miss faculty, staff and administrators are deeply invested in our university, and their inspired work is reflected in our increasing enrollment and relevant programs.”

The results, released in The Chronicle’s sixth annual report on The Academic Workplace, are based on a survey of more than 46,600 employees at 300 colleges and universities.

In all, only 97 of the 300 institutions achieved “Great Colleges to Work For” recognition for specific best practices and policies. Results are reported for small, medium and large institutions, with UM included among the large universities having 10,000 or more students.

“The University of Mississippi is once again honored and humbled to be listed among the Great Colleges to Work For,” said Clay Jones, assistant vice chancellor and director of human resources.

“Receiving this acknowledgment multiple years in a row indicates the dedication

“Ole Miss faculty, staff and administrators are deeply invested in our university, and their inspired work is reflected in our increasing enrollment and relevant programs.”

Dan Jones UM chancellor we have in ensuring our workplace is one of integrity, inclusiveness and fairness. We take great pride in doing the best we can with the resources we have to ensure our workplace is in fact a great place to work.”

In addition, the university will again be named as an Honor Roll school because of its recognition in more than four categories. For the second straight year, UM is the only SEC school to be included among the 10 on the Honor Roll.

The university was recognized for nine categories: ■ Collaborative governance ■ Professional/career development programs ■ Teaching environment (faculty only) ■ Job satisfaction ■ Confidence in senior leadership ■ Supervisor or department chair relationship ■ Respect and appreciation ■ Tenure clarity and process (faculty only/ four-year only) ■ Facilities, workspace and security The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding

whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.

Rich Boyer, principal investigator and partner at Modern Think Inc., which conducted the survey, provided several insights into why UM continues to emerge ahead of some other institutions in an increasingly competitive, smaller pool of participants.

“The University of Mississippi is competitive with any institution in the country regardless of status, enrollment size, including elite institutions,” Boyer said.

“When we look at the job satisfaction connection to mission, the faculty and staff at UM scored among the highest in their category.”

While other SEC schools have participated and been recognized, no other has achieved the Honor Roll status UM has. Elite institutions that have been on the Honor Roll include the University of Michigan, and Duke, Harvard and Cornell universities.

“Regarding supervisor or department chair relationship, apparently UM is doing some things exceptionally well, being systematic and intentional whereas others, including some of the elite institutions that have been recognized in the past, have not been as much.” Boyer said. “In a challenging economic environment, the fact

that UM has been able to achieve and maintain success in supporting people in their worklife balance is especially commendable.”

“The Chronicle’s reporting shows that more colleges and universities are seeking ways to improve their workplaces,” said Liz McMillen, editor of The Chronicle of Higher Education. “The ‘formula for success’ continues to evolve, yet there are certain common features among institutions that achieve significant levels of worker satisfaction. The Great Colleges to Work For program allows our readers to learn about the colleges that seem to be getting it right. Great Colleges is more than a marketing opportunity for colleges; it is an authentic example of accomplishment.”

Great Colleges to Work For is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country. For more information and to view all the results of the survey, visit the Chronicle’s website at chronicle. com/academicworkplace.

fear of heights for investors: Is it a sign that stocks have become too hot and are destined to plummet?

History shows the market can keep going, says Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ. This bull market, which began in March 2009, has recorded 23 record highs.

Stovall found that other bull markets have posted many more record highs before petering out. The current tally is the third fewest among the 11 bull markets that S&P Capital IQ has counted since 1949.

Saving her sanity is right step DEAR ABBY: I was a single mom for most of my teenagers’ lives. We have never been financially stable, and lately things have hit an all-time low.

I am prone to bouts of depression. I remarried last year, and my husband unfortunately does not understand or tolerate the depressions. He feels I should just “get over” things. He also doesn’t believe in anti-depressants. It got so bad I attempted suicide last weekend.

My husband said my doing that was abusive to HIM. Had the pills I took not made me throw up, I would have happily waited to die.

There are six people on my medical aid, and the available funds are more than half used up. For me to see a psychiatrist will take a huge chunk out of it.

I am caught between a rock and a hard place. If I do it, my family will miss out on medical care should the need arise later in the year. Is it selfish to try to hang onto what is left of my sanity? — ON THE EDGE IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA DEAR ON THE EDGE: That your husband chooses not to recognize that depression is an illness — one that’s treatable — is a reflection of his ignorance.

That he would tell you your attempted suicide was abusive to HIM suggests that he is more concerned with himself than he is with you.

You have teenage children who need their mother. Trying to hang onto what’s left of your sanity and get the medications

you need isn’t selfish — it’s S O U N D THINKING. If not for your sake, please seek Abigail help now for Van Buren theirs. ** ** ** D E A R Dear Abby ABBY: I’m pregnant with my first child and live 800 miles from my parents, who are retired. We have a good relationship now, but growing up I had major emotional issues my parents didn’t handle well. Years of therapy in my early adulthood helped to fix them.

My parents have just told me they have been approved to be foster parents and will be caring for an emotionally disturbed teenager soon. While I know I should be happy for them, I’m extremely upset. I feel they were ill-equipped to handle my emotional issues growing up, and they should be more concerned with their grandchildren in retirement than taking in strangers.

When I heard the news, I tried my best to sound supportive, but they could tell I was upset. How can I handle these feelings?

Would it be beneficial to tell them how I feel? — MOMMYTO-BE IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR MOMMY-TO-BE: A way to handle your feelings would be to view the situation from the perspective of an adult, not a jealous child. That your

parents will foster this teenager doesn’t mean they will love their grandchildren any less.

On some level they may be trying to make up for the mistakes they made in your upbringing.

Because they were ill-equipped to recognize your emotional problems does not mean they won’t be wiser now. I suggest you wait to discuss this with them until you’re feeling less resentful. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I’m a 12-yearold girl trying to live a simple life.

I read your column every day. I have one small question. I really wanna know why girls don’t like each other that much. Many girls at my school are really mean. I wish I knew the answer to why girls are like that. Do you know why? — CONFUSED DEAR CONFUSED: Girls your age are mean to other girls for a variety of reasons. Some o# them may be acting out because they are having problems at home. They may do it because they are jealous or to make themselves feel more important (a power trip).

Girls like this have never been taught to respect the feelings of others. They behave this way because they haven’t matured to have developed empathy, an ability to be sensitive to the feelings of those they are hurting.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be more effective if you do not care about winning the approval of the group you are trying to break into. You’ll manage to show your interest in others without a worry as to whether they are interested in you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

No one is polite all of the time, especially with your nearest and dearest. If you were, they would walk all over you. You may have to show your disapproving look or give exasperated eyes as a way of standing up for yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Is anyone really different and therefore above the rules? Yes, of course. Who? The ones who decide, “I am different and above the rules.”

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Even when you know you’re right, it’s important to prepare for the opposition, because when dealing with a group, you’ll only be as right as you can convince people you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ten-

sion on the strings of a guitar makes majestic music. There is undeniable tension in one of your relationships, too, but don’t rush to relieve it, or it will be like playing a flat, flappy string.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

As much as you enjoy striving for an ideal and doing your best, perfection is not your friend. Let go of this futile notion called “perfect,” and you’ll actually have fun with the challenging projects of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When multiple paths converge, it forms a blockage. No one path is any more correct than another, but something must be worked out, or nobody will move forward. That’s where you come in: the great negotiator.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The thunder in the sky isn’t showing off as it bellows through the heavens -- it’s just being thunder. When you do your thing, you’re powerful, too.

It’s an honest power, and that’s what makes it so startling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re aware of the established order, but you don’t agree with it. You’re not the same person you were when you joined the group. It’s easier to establish yourself in a new circle than to change a group’s perception.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your cosmic success tools are tone of voice, intention and confidence. You could deliver the most important words ever uttered in the history of speaking, and it wouldn’t matter if you said them weakly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Social posturing is not like the SATs. If you ace one test, you still face a never-ending supply of new tests. The best way is not to put yourself in the position of test taker.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Though it’s impressive that you can dedicate so much of your energy to a single pursuit, if you can find something to offset the intensity of this work, you’ll be better off.

80 dead in Spain train crash blamed on high speed Associated Press

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain — A Spanish train that hurtled off the rails and smashed into a security wall as it rounded a bend was going so fast that carriages tumbled off the tracks like dominos, killing 80 people and maiming dozens more, according to eyewitness accounts and video footage obtained Thursday.

An Associated Press analysis of video images suggests the train may have been traveling at twice the speed limit, or more, along that curved stretch of track. The unanswered question is: Why? Spain’s government said two probes have been launched into the train’s derailment Wednesday night on its approach to this Christian festival city in northwest Spain, where planned celebrations in honor of one of Jesus’ disciples gave way to a living nightmare.

The regional government in Galicia confirmed that police planned to question the 52-year-old train driver, in Santiago de Compostela’s main hospital with unspecified injuries, as both a witness and as a possible suspect, but cautioned that possible faults in safety equipment were also being investigated.

The Interior Ministry raised the death toll to 80 in what was Spain’s deadliest train wreck in four decades. The Galician government said 94 others remained hospitalized

“July 24 will no longer be the eve of a day of celebration but rather one commemorating one of the saddest days in the history of Galicia.”

Alberto Nunez Feijoo Regional president of Gallcia Santiago de Compostela in six regional hospitals, 31 of them — including four children — in critical condition.

The U.S. State Department said one American was killed in the crash and five others were injured. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said those numbers were “likely to change” and declined to elaborate.

“Today the American people grieve with our Spanish friends, who are in our thoughts and prayers,” President Barack Obama said in a statement.

In the morning, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, a native of Santiago de Compostela, toured the crash scene alongside rescue workers and went to a nearby hospital to visit those wounded and their families. In the evening Spain’s head of state, King Carlos, and Queen Sofia went to the same hospital, dressed in funereal black.

“For a native of Santiago, like me, this is the saddest day,” said Rajoy, who declared Spain would observe a three-day period of mourning. He said judicial authorities and the Public Works Minis-

try had launched parallel investigations into what caused the crash.

Eyewitness accounts backed by security-camera footage of the moment of disaster suggested that the eight-carriage train was going too fast as it tried to turn left underneath a road bridge. The train company Renfe said 218 passengers and five crew members were on board. Spanish officials said the speed limit on that section of track is 50 miles per hour.

An Associated Press estimate of the train’s speed at the moment of impact using the time stamp of the video and the estimated distance between two pylons gives a range of 89-119 mph. Another estimate calculated on the basis of the typical distance between railroad ties gives a range of 96112 mph.

The video footage, which the Spanish railway authority Adif said probably came from one of its cameras, shows the train carriages starting to buckle soon into the turn.

Murray Hughes, consultant editor of Railway Gazette International,

said it appeared that a diesel-powered unit behind the lead locomotive was the first to derail. The front engine itself quickly followed, violently tipping on to its right side as it crashed into a concrete security wall and bulldozed along the ground.

In the background, all the rear carriages could be seen starting to decouple and come off the tracks. The picture went blank as the engine appeared to crash directly into the camera.

After impact, witnesses said a fire engulfed passengers trapped in at least one carriage, most likely driven by ruptured tanks of diesel fuel carried in the forward engines.

“I saw the train coming out of the bend at great speed and then there was a big noise,” one eyewitness who lives beside the train line, Consuelo Domingues, told The Associated Press. “... Then everybody tried to get out of the train.”

Santiago officials had been preparing for the city’s internationally celebrated Catholic festival Thursday but canceled it and took control of the city’s main indoor sports arena to use as a makeshift morgue. There, relatives of the dead could be seen sobbing and embracing each other.

The Interior Ministry, responsible for law and order, ruled out terrorism as a cause.

While sections of the Spanish press pointed an accusatory finger at the train driver, Spanish

authorities and railway safety experts cautioned that a fault in systems designed to keep trains traveling at safe speeds could be to blame.

Spain’s lead investigator in the crash, Judge Vazquez Taín, ordered detectives to question the train driver.

Renfe identified the driver, Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, as a 30-year employee of the state rail company who became an assistant driver in 2000 and a fully qualified driver in 2003. The company said Amo took control of the train from a second driver about 65 miles south of Santiago de Compostela.

Renfe’s president, Julio Gomez-Pomar Rodriguez, president of Renfe, told Spain’s Cadena Cope radio network that the driver had worked on that route for more than one year.

It was Spain’s deadliest train accident since 1972, when a train collided with a bus in southwest Spain, killing 86 people and injuring 112.

“July 24 will no longer be the eve of a day of celebration but rather one commemorating one of the saddest days in the history of Galicia,” said Alberto Nunez Feijoo, regional president of Galicia. Santiago de Compostela is its capital.

The accident created a scene that was “Danteesque,” Feijoo said. He said Galicia would observe seven days of mourning.

Rescue workers spent the night searching

through smashed carriages alongside the tracks.

As dawn broke, cranes brought to the scene were used to lift the carriages away from the tracks.

Rescue workers collected passengers’ scattered luggage and loaded it into a truck next to the tracks.

Rescuers described a scene of horror immediately after the crash.

Smoke billowed from at least one carriage that had caught fire, while another had been torn into two parts.

Residents of the residential neighborhood closest to the rail line struggled to help victims out of the toppled cars.

Some passengers were pulled out of broken windows. Television images showed one man atop a carriage lying on its side, using a pickaxe to try to smash through a window.

Other rescuers used rocks to try to free survivors from the fiery wreckage.

Nearby, rescue workers lined up bodies covered in blankets alongside the tracks.

State-owned train operator Renfe said the crash happened about 2.5 miles south of Santiago de Compostela.

Spanish media said the train had two drivers aboard and both survived.

However, Galician court officials said the train had only one driver. Court spokeswoman Maria Pardo Rios said the driver survived and was expected to give a statement to police later Thursday. She declined to name the driver.

O.J. Simpson regrets going after his stolen memorabilia Associated Press

CARSON CITY, Nev. — O.J. Simpson went before a parole board and pleaded for leniency on his armed robbery and kidnapping sentence Thursday as he expressed regret for his actions and described being an upstanding inmate who earns pennies an hour keeping gym equipment sanitized and umpiring and coaching games in the prison yard.

Simpson also said he has become a counselor of sorts to fellow inmates doing time for similar crimes and noted that he has made amends with his victims in a botched heist of memorabilia in a hotel room in Las Vegas in 2007.

“I just wish I never went to that room,” the 66-yearold Simpson said during a 15-minute appearance.

Parole officials did not immediately rule on his request, which Simpson made remotely from a video conference room the Lovelock Correction Center. But their decision will have little impact on his overall sentence because he is only eligible for parole on one of his consecu-

tive sentences.

As a result, even if the Nevada Parole Board ruled in his favor, he would then begin serving sentences attached to other charges and spend at least another four years in prison.

His best chance for freedom lies with a pending decision by a Las Vegas judge on whether to grant him a new trial based on claims that his trial lawyer botched his defense and had a conflict of interest in the case. Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell held a weeklong hearing in May on the issue that featured testimony from Simpson.

At the parole hearing, Simpson provided a glimpse of his time in prison since he was sentenced to nine to 33 years behind bars. He said he has served as a counselor of sorts to other inmates who come to him with their issues. But he said he shouldn’t be compared with other inmates.

“The difference between all of their crimes and mine is, they were trying to steal other people’s property,” a graying Simp-

son said. “They were trying to steal other people’s money.

“My crime was trying to retrieve for my family my own property,” he said, mentioning how he has missed his children, graduations and his sister’s funeral. “Make no mistake I would give it all back to these guys. They can have it all to get these five years of my life back.”

He also told the twomember parole panel that he has spoken at length with Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong — the two dealers

targeted in the holdup. He acknowledged that he was “not as civil as I should have been” while trying to regain the property.

“I knew both of these guys who had my stuff,” Simpson said. “I am sorry for what has happened. ...

I’ve apologized. They’ve apologized.”

He was the only person to speak on his behalf. No victims spoke.

Parole Commissioner Susan Jackson and hearing representative Robin Bates were expected to make a recommendation

DOING THE MOST GOOD

We’re moving back to our old location.

to the full parole board later Thursday and a final decision is expected next week. Jackson noted that Simpson has had no disciplinary actions during his incarceration and was deemed a “low risk” for repeat offenses.

During the court hearing in May on Simpson’s motion for a new trial, his current lawyers, Patricia Palm and Ozzie Fumo, presented evidence and questioned witnesses, including trial lawyer Yale Galanter, about whether he knew in advance about

the September 2007 plan for Simpson and several other men to confront the memorabilia dealers.

Simpson argues that he was trying to retrieve items stolen from him after his 1995 “trial of the century” in Los Angeles when he was acquitted of murder in the 1994 slayings of his exwife and her friend.

Bell hasn’t indicated when she plans to issue her decision, but told a KSNV-TV interviewer for a segment aired this week that she still had “some writing to do.”

Braves’ Hudson out for season Associated Press

NEW YORK — Tim Hudson is out for the season with a broken right ankle, leaving the Atlanta Braves without the leader of their pitching staff as they make a push for the pennant.

The team said Hudson will have season-ending surgery in Atlanta once the swelling subsides. The right-hander was injured Wednesday night when Eric Young Jr. of the New York Mets inadvertently stepped on the back of Hudson’s lower right leg while the pitcher was covering first base.

“I think we’ve got to rally behind this, as a team and as a pitching staff,” Braves manag-

er Fredi Gonzalez said Thursday. “We’re going to miss him, but we’ve got a good club.”

Atlanta placed Hudson on the 15-day disabled list and recalled rookie left-hander Alex Wood from Triple-A Gwinnett to start against the Mets.

Wood pitched in place of Paul Maholm, who has a bruised left wrist.

The NL East leaders had planned to put Maholm on the DL, but Hudson’s injury opened a roster spot for Wood instead. Maholm could still end up on the disabled list, but the Braves decided to keep him active for now to see how quickly his condition improves.

Brandon Beachy is expected

to replace Hudson in the rotation Monday night against Colorado.

“I don’t think you can replace Timmy, what he means to us,” Gonzalez said. “We’ll have a young rotation, but hell, you know what? We’ve got to grow up sooner or later.”

Beachy, sidelined since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2012, threw 86 pitches in a rehab start Wednesday night for Gwinnett and appears ready to return.

He allowed two hits and four walks over six innings in a 3-1 loss to Durham, and Gonzalez said the Braves received good reports about Beachy’s stuff.

The 26-year-old right-hander is 12-10 with a 3.07 ERA in 41 major league starts.

He is 1-4 with a 3.00 ERA in seven starts covering 30 innings for Gwinnett this season.

The timing hardly could have been worse for Hudson, who was pitching his best baseball of the season in the final year of his contract.

Atlanta entered Thursday with an eight-game cushion over Philadelphia in the NL East, by far the largest margin in any division. So the 38-year-old Hudson, who has never advanced past the first round of the playoffs, Please see BRAVES | 13A

Cheer Camp continues to enjoy big success

FULTON — Over 100 campers participated in this year’s Itawamba Community Cheer Camp as they learned various cheers, chants and dances taught by accredited National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) and National Dance Alliance (NDA) instructors.

“We had a wonderful camp this year,” said ICC Cheer sponsor Dr. Bronson Prochaska. “We had high school and junior high cheerleaders as well as dance squads from all throughout the area [to participate in] this year’s camp.”

Prochaska plans to move the camp to earlier in the summer to better fit the various schedules of the cheerleader programs while continuing to partner with the NCA and NDA to provide creative and fun cheers, chants and stunts along with sideline, pep rally and dance routines through daily one-on-one time with trained instructors focused on building confidence, positive attitudes and team work

Friday, July 26, 2013

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Gators are no longer celebrating Aaron Hernandez.

The University Athletic Association, which funds the school’s athletic programs, has removed all references to Hernandez in and around the football stadium. The latest and most public one came Thursday when construction workers pulled up a granite plaque commemorating Hernandez as a first team All-America selection in 2009. The brick was cemented into the ground out-

side Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

“We didn’t feel it was appropriate to celebrate Aaron Hernandez,” the UAA said in a statement. “We put together an immediate plan after the initial news broke to remove his likeness and name in various private and public areas in the facility, such as the South End Zone team area, locker room, football offices, Heavener Complex Kornblau Lobby and the brick display entrance to the football facility.

“We were able to implement some of the changes immedi-

ately, and this (brick removal) was a more complex process to complete with our vendors.”

The school started distancing itself from Hernandez on June 26, the day he was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd. The school removed photographs of Hernandez from the locker room, the team area, the football facility and throughout the stadium. “The plan was to have everything completed before the end of July,” the UAA said.

The final piece was getting rid of Hernandez’s All-American brick. Each of the school’s All-America selections is honored with a plaque outside the stadium.

Hernandez played at Florida from 2007-09 and earned AllAmerica honors as a junior. In 2009, Hernandez became the SEC’s first winner of the Mackey Award, given annually to the nation’s top tight end. He left school early and was selected in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL draft by the New England Patriots.

Source: Yankees plan Alex Rodriquez discipline Associated Press

NEW YORK — Already in trouble with Major League Baseball, Alex Rodriguez now faces a penalty from his own team.

The New York Yankees intend to discipline A-Rod for seeking a second medical opinion on his injured leg without their permission, a person familiar with the team’s deliberations said Thursday.

The exact penalty had not been determined, the person said, speaking on condition of

anonymity to The Associated Press because no statements were authorized. A fine appeared to be the most likely option.

The person also said that during a conference call Thursday, the Yankees and Rodriguez agreed to a timetable that would have the third baseman resume minor league rehabilitation games or simulated games next Thursday.

Rodriguez, who has been sidelined since hip surgery in January, issued a state-

ment earlier in the day saying he wanted to be activated for Friday’s homestand opener against Tampa Bay. But that apparently wasn’t in the Yankees plans.

MLB has been investigating Rodriguez as part of its probe of the closed Biogenesis clinic in Florida , accused in media reports of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. A suspension appears likely, but Rodriguez could ask the players’ association to contest a drug penalty — making it possible he

might not have to serve any time until next year.

He is among the dozen or so players under investigation by MLB; he has said in the past that he used PEDs from 2001-03 while with Texas but maintained he has not used them since.

Rodriguez hasn’t played a game in the majors this season.

Meantime, his return from hip surgery in January has created more drama than Please see A-ROD | 13A

Scott: NCAA changes can come without confrontation

The Northeast MS Tennis Association is looking for individuals interested in learning to play tennis or to improve on their skills. Through a grant from the United State Tennis Association, the group is planning several “Try Tennis” events for ages 10-75. The group will also provide 6 free lessons with a local pro player for adults who join the UTSA for the first time. The organization also hosts local leagues for kids and adults.

HARTFORD, Conn. — Larry Scott of the Pac-12 joined the chorus of commissioners calling for sweeping change in the NCAA, and said it can happen without confrontation and with the five most powerful football conferences still competing on the field with the other five.

Scott was the last of the leaders of the big five conferences to make a public push for NCAA reforms that will allow the schools with the most

resources to have more freedom to determine how they use them.

“I don’t think of it as much of an us vs. them situation as maybe is the impression out there,” Scott said Thursday as the Pac-12 wrapped up a mini-media days on the East Coast that included their football coaches appearing on ESPN. “I’m certainly aligned with what you heard from my colleagues this week in terms of the need for transformative change, but I think it can be

evolutionary and not revolutionary.

“I don’t think it will be as confrontational and controversial a process as some of the reports I have heard this week.”

NCAA President Mark Emmert told The Indianapolis Star on Thursday that he agrees with Scott and his fellow commissioners, and vowed significant changes to the way rules and policies are made.

“There’s one thing that vir-

tually everybody in Division I has in common right now, and that is they don’t like the governance model,” Emmert told the Star. “Now, there’s not agreement on what the new model should be. But there’s very little support for continuing things in the governing process the way they are today.”

appeared to have an excellent chance at a trip to the World Series with his hometown team.

Maybe his last one, too.

A three-time All-Star with 205 career wins, Hudson was born in Georgia and grew up in Alabama rooting for the Braves.

He was traded from Oakland to Atlanta in December 2004 and has provided a steady presence throughout his nine-year tenure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime you lose a player his caliber itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough pill to swallow,â&#x20AC;?

All-Star catcher Brian McCann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a top-of-the-rotation pitcher for us and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be hard to replace him. But at the same time, guys are going to need to step up and fill in.â&#x20AC;?

McCann thinks Atlanta has young starters who can do that in Kris Medlen, rookie Julio Teheran and 25-year-old lefty Mike Minor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys have been growing up for a while now. I mean, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taking huge steps forward,â&#x20AC;? McCann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got guys in place that are capable of winning big games.â&#x20AC;? Hudsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and one of his daughters were at the game when he got hurt.

The pitcher was not at Citi Field on Thursday but planned to fly back to Atlanta with the team after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a rough night. You know, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep,â&#x20AC;? Gonzalez said.

Hudson will likely have surgery in the next few days, and recovery time is expected to be about three to four months. After that, he should be able to resume his career with no lingering effects, the Braves said.

Gonzalez said he told Hudson that he wants him around as much as possible to support his teammates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on crutches, in a walking boot, whatever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hell, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even let you manage a couple of games if you want to do that. You know, sit there next to me and make the decisions,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Gonzalez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh no, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game is going to be the last time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see him on a mound.â&#x20AC;?

Hudson was working on a four-hit shutout when he was injured. He struck out nine in 7 2-3 innings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his most since whiffing 10 Mets on June 17, 2011.

He finishes the season 8-7 with a 3.97 ERA after winning his final four starts.

Prochaska said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the camps hosted by the major universities are so crowded it makes it difficult to achieve the goals you are looking to get out of those camps. We feel like a camp geared for smaller groups would better enhance the experience and effectiveness of the purpose these type of cheer camps serve.â&#x20AC;?

NCAA CONTINUED FROM 12A

vamping how Division I is run.

Scott, Mike Slive of the Southeastern Conference, John Swofford of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Bob Bowlsby of the Big 12 and Jim Delany of the Big Ten have taken turns at football media days around the country over the past week calling

for changes to the way the NCAA passes legislation since .

The most notable issue has been a $2,000 stipend that would be added to the athletic scholarship to cover the full-cost of college attendance.

The big five conferences want to be able to give the stipend to all scholarship athletes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schools that have re-

sources and want to be able to do more for student-athletes are frustrated, concerned that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being held back from doing more for the student-athletes in terms of the stipend,â&#x20AC;? Scott said.

The stipend was shot down by some of the less wealthy NCAA Division I schools that might not be able to afford it. There

are 349 schools in Division I, 125 at the highest level of college football called FBS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea that there is an even playing field in terms for resources is a fanciful and quaint notion,â&#x20AC;? Scott said.

Scott compared the stipend being stymied to the delays in bringing instant replay to college football in 2000s.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instant replay took longer than it needed to get into college football because not everyone could do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still some schools out there whose conferences canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford instant replay. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strike me that the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen in or that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s created some crisis just because everyone canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have instant replay.â&#x20AC;?

could not detect an injury. Gross also said he never examined Rodriguez personally.

Under baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor contract, a player must notify his team in writing if he intends to seek a second medical opinion.

The person who spoke on condition of anonymity said Rodriguez was examined Thursday by Dr. Daniel Murphy, the Yankeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; orthopedic surgeon in Tampa, Fla., who confirmed Ahmadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis. The person said Murphy determined Rodriguez had made great improvement in the last few days and could be on an accelerated rehab schedule.

Yankees President Randy Levine and general manager Brian Cashman were on the 15-minute conference call along with Tim Lentych, the head athletic trainer at the player development complex in Tampa. Rodriguez also was on the

call and was represented

by Jordan Siev, co-head of the U.S. commercial

litigation group at Reed Smith, a law firm used by A-Rod pal Jay-Z.

most players experience in their entire careers.

Seemingly days away from rejoining the Yankees, Rodriguez injured his left quadriceps last weekend and was sent to New York for an MRI on Sunday. Team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad diagnosed a grade 1 strain, the least severe level.

Dr. Michael Gross, the orthopedic director of The Sports Medicine Institute at Hackensack (N.J.) University Medical Center, was retained

by Rodriguez and said on radio station WFAN on Wednesday that he examined an MRI and

Modern TV shows have We can’t survive without God Suggested daily a lot of foul language Bible readings The other night when I turned on the TV after having watched the network news a while before, a sitcom which I had not seen before was coming on.

The time was probably 7:30, not sure, but it was definitely early enough Lora Ann c h i l d r e n Huff could have been flipBack Porch ping channels and come across this show.

Before the name of the show or the actors’ names came up, the dialogue began. The first six sentences contained words my generation’s kids were forbidden to say, and most didn’t even hear until long after they started school. The attitudes expressed were also terrible.

I’m not even sure what the show’s name was – I just know the intro was disgusting. I didn’t care to watch any more to see if the plot made sense or the language got better.

I try to ignore a lot of today’s cruddy portrayals so I won’t have negative attitudes about everything,

My mother had a remedy for foul language – and it wasn’t soap! However, the sad thing is that words she considered “foul” when I was a kid are so very mild compared to the crude words today. It’s just sad and that’s about all I can say. but just a tidbit of that show gave me a really sad feeling about what our little kids are up against every day.

I heard one young parent say recently that her children like to watch the comedy shows on TV Land, but she has to monitor the commercials because there are certain verbal expressions her kids don’t need to hear and repeat at their young age.

Thinking back to the days of censorship in broadcasting, I remember the comfort we felt in knowing certain things would not be said or done until at least the late night hours. As far as I can tell, there is no secure time today. Everything is about free press and free speech, forgetting we have young minds and hearts to train and groom for decent living in the future.

My mother had a remedy for foul language – and it wasn’t soap! However, the sad thing is that words she considered “foul” when I was a kid are so very mild compared to the crude words today.

It’s just sad and that’s about all I can say. …So we monitor and we edit and we try to guide the little ones along the lines of what is acceptable and respectful. There is a right way to talk – and we don’t need to follow the examples portrayed on television.

One of this nation’s greatest presidents was Ronald Reagan.

He was a leader and inspired the country with his humor, integrity, moral living, leadership and wisdom.

I am inspired that he was not afraid Gary to show Andrews or tell of his faith Devotionals in God. Many of our presidents in the past have stood tall and spoke of their love and devotion for God and have given our Lord and Savior thanks for the many blessings He has poured out on this great country, we call America.

Even though this was only a few years ago it seems that our country has slipped into a state of political correctness and it is damaging our people and our country. We are losing sight of who is totally in control and our nation is becoming less and less recognizable as the Christian nation the world desires to be a part of.

In Ephesians 2:12 the apostle Paul talked about Unity in Christ. He spoke about the animos-

Sunday - Ephesians 2:11-13; Monday - Ecclesiastes 3:9-14; Tuesday - Psalm 108:1-6; Wednesday - Job 36:22-26; Thursday - John 12:37-50; Friday - 1 John 3:1-10; Saturday - Isaiah 55:6-9. ity that existed between the Jews and the Gentiles and how the Jews, God’s chosen people, considered the Gentiles to be outcasts, objects of derision, and reproach.

He also spoke of the spiritual alienation because the Jews considered the Gentiles to be a people cut off from God. The Gentiles had many gods, but they did not recognize the true God because they did not want Him. Aren’t we seeing this in our world today? Aren’t we losing sight of what our forefathers knew to be honest and true?

In Reagan’s talk to an ecumenical prayer breakfast in Dallas, Texas, in August, 1984, he stated: “Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we’re mire in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without

God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

It is time for each of us to truly look into our lives and allow the Holy Spirit to shine through us. Each one of us need to have God first and foremost in our daily lives. If we will do this then our nation will once again be revered as that Christian nation that all countries of the world wants to be part of.

Prayer: Lord heal our nation today and let us look to Your guidance and leadership and Lord, let it begin in me. Amen.

More than 16,000 churches register for ‘My Hope America with Billy Graham’ CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (Christian Newswire) With four months remaining until the culmination of My Hope America with Billy Graham, the movement recently reached a milestone as more than 16,000 churches across the nation have signed up to participate.

“In a world where the main focus of many is the immediate and the material, it is truly remarkable to see so many begin to turn their eyes and hearts to the eternal,” said Preston Parrish, vice president of the My Hope America evangelistic campaign. “People across the nation are praying and preparing for My Hope America, and we are eagerly anticipat-

ing what God will do as people put feet to those prayers.”

Hundreds of preparation meetings, which began last December, have been held in all 50 states.

At these meetings, pastors and lay church leaders have come together to learn more about how to maximize this nationwide evangelistic outreach in their own congregations.

Meetings are still taking place across the country throughout the summer.

In addition to the meetings, thousands of individuals have registered for the project and participated in the free online training.

“I knew right away I wanted to be involved in this endeavor,” said Skip

Heitzig, senior pastor of Calvary of Albuquerque, after hearing Franklin Graham share the vision of My Hope America last year.

“My Hope is such a natural method of sharing the Gospel and bringing people the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.”

“My Hope is going to let us know if our churches really care about lost people or if we just talk about it,” said Michael Catt, senior pastor of Sherwood Baptist in Albany, Ga., the well-known church behind the popular movies Fireproof and Courageous.

Catt set a goal for his church to have 150 participants in the project, but more than 200 have

already signed up. A church in Hagerstown, Md. – Tri-State Fellowship – saw their goal of 50 registrants doubled when one third of its congregation registered to participate in My Hope America.

“We are seeing stories like this in churches across the nation,” said Parrish. “But, the ultimate impact of My Hope America hinges on individuals identifying and praying for those people in their lives who need to know Christ.”

About My Hope America with Billy Graham My Hope America with Billy Graham encourages participants to

reach out to people they already know and engage in meaningful conversation and connections as a catalyst for sharing the hope and love found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

While one-on-one conversations will be the root of this relationship evangelism outreach, there will be special evangelistic programs available in a wide range of formats including TV, DVD and Internet that people can share to reinforce the message. The programs will feature life-changing testimonies and powerful messages from Billy Graham.

The first evangelistic program was released in March entitled Defining

Moments. It follows the stories of skateboarder Brian Sumner, comedian Michael Jr. and young professional Shannon Culpepper, each searching for something this world ultimately couldn’t provide.

These programs, along with additional programs under development including new footage of Billy Graham, will serve as the evangelistic thrust behind the implementation of the project in November.

Bullying has lasting effects on all involved Parents, teachers, peers should not ignore this type of harassment

BY SUSAN COLLINS-SMITH MSU Ag Communications

Playground antics, such as teasing, hitting, or name-calling, may seem just a harmless rite of passage, but when playing turns into bullying, it can cause serious, longterm effects for everyone involved.

Bullying is a dangerous form of youth violence that involves repeated, aggressive behavior with a real or perceived imbalance of power between the bully and the victim.

Bullies create this imbalance of power by using their popularity, physical strength or embarrassing information to manipulate or harm the victim.

Carla Stanford, child and family development agent with Mississippi State University’s Extension Service in Pontotoc County, said this type of harassment should not be ignored.

“Bullying can cause emotional damage, and not just for those who are bullied,” Stanford said. “It can affect parents, teachers and peers indirectly.

Even kids who bully are affected in many ways.”

In fact, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control now considers bullying a public health problem because of its prevalence among young people. A 2011 nationwide survey by the CDC found 20 percent of high school students said they were bullied on school property, 16 percent said they were bullied electronically and 23 percent reported witnessing bullying on a daily or weekly basis. More middle school students reported bullying than did high school students.

Bullying can begin in elementary school, and timely intervention is

As school starts back, parents and other adults should be on the lookout for signs that a child could be involved in bullying. Bullying can cause lasting effects for bullies, victims of bullies and bystanders. important, said Jennifer Russell, MSU Extension child and family agent in Leflore County.

“Children who show chronic patterns of aggression by age 8 are more likely to be involved in criminal behavior and family violence later in life,” Russell said. “They are also more likely to abuse their own children.”

Because of the negative effects bullying can have on all involved, it is important to stop the behavior early. But bullying doesn¹t always happen in front of other children or adults, and cyberbullying can be hard to detect. Russell said parents should be on the lookout for behavior that may indicate their

child is being harassed at school or online.

“An unexplained reluctance to go to school is a key sign that a child could be experiencing bullying,” she said.

Other signs include unexplained bruises, lost or torn clothing, fearfulness or anxiety, lack of friends, a sudden change in typical behavior or personality, complaints of physical ailments, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, and a sudden and significant drop in grades.

If parents catch harassment early, they can teach their children how to respond to aggression.

“Children should be assertive to the bully and leave the scene without

violence,” Russell said.

“Role playing is always a good way to show children how to respond to situations. Never tell children to strike back.”

If the harassment has been going on for a while or a child has been injured or threatened with violence, Stanford said parents should act immediately.

“Find out all you can about the situation and then take the appropriate action,” Stanford said. “Do not waste a minute. Go to the school, police, anyone until you get sensible and effective results.”

All types of bullying are prohibited by law in Mississippi, and all public schools have policies

prohibiting bullying or harassing behavior.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends talking to multiple sources, including adults and kids, to try to determine what happened. State law and school policy can help determine if the incident can be classified as bullying.

Parents should document all incidents and attempts to resolve the issue.

Stanford said if the incident happened on school property or at a school function, contact school authorities, beginning with the teacher or principal. If the incident happened on social media or on an electronic device, report it to local law en-

forcement.

“The school could have some responsibility in addressing cyberbulling, but the police department or sheriff¹s department are the primary places to report these types of crimes,” Stanford said. “Sometimes, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will even become involved.”

For more information on cyberbullying, refer to Extension publication 2587, Preventing Cyberbullying: A Resource Guide for Parents and Teachers. More information on all types of bullying can be found at www. stopbullying.gov, a website managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Back to school a good time for safety review

BY SUSAN COLLINS-SMITH

Resources

MSU Ag Communications

As the carefree days of summer vacation quickly come to a close, parents should take steps to keep their kids safe as they return to the routines of school.

“Parents should keep in mind there are precautions to take no matter how their child gets to and from school,” said Beth Bell, Tallahatchie County child and family development agent with Mississippi State University¹s Extension Service.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, about 32 percent of attempted stranger abductions take place while children are traveling to or from school or a school-related activity.

Bell recommends that young children be accompanied by an adult if they walk or bike to school.

“I have young children, and I wouldn¹t allow them to walk or bike to school alone or even in a group with other children no matter how close to the school we live,” she said.

“For me, that¹s just too much risk. High schoolaged children, though, should have a better perception of danger. But they should always travel in a group.”

For more information on back to school safety, refer to Extension publications 1487, After School Care and 2638, Child Safety: What Every Family Can Do. Additional information can be found on the National Safety Council website at http://www.nsc.org and The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website at http//:www.missingkids.org/Safety. Kirkland also recommends the following resources: • https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/homealone.cfm • http://www.nncc.org/SACC/sac31_home. alone.html • http://www.aacap.org/galleries/FactsForFamilies/46_home_alone_children.pdf Photo courtesy of Bananastock

Older students should walk or bike to school in groups, while younger children should always be accompanied by an adult.

Children should use a well-lit, non-secluded route and be aware of safe places along the route to go if they feel afraid or threatened. Bikers should always wear a properly fitting helmet and understand and follow the rules of the road, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Bus riders should wait in groups, and car riders should be dropped off as close to their building as possible. Drivers should be sure the child is inside the building or greeted by a school employee before leaving.

Parents should also

take steps to prepare their children if they will be home alone after school, said Karen Benson, Neshoba County Extension coordinator and family and consumer sciences agent with MSU. Benson recommends children check in with a parent or another trusted adult, such as a neighbor, by phone or text as soon as they arrive home. If any doors or windows are ajar or they notice anything else suspicious about the house, they should not enter and go to a neighbor¹s house immediately and call 911, she said. Once inside, they should make sure the

house is secure by locking all doors.

Children who are home alone for any length of time should have a few resources at their fingertips.

“Leave a list of emergency phone numbers in an easily accessible place, such as the refrigerator,” Benson said. “The list should include 911 and contact numbers for parents, grandparents and a trusted neighbor. Make sure children know their address and understand what information they should give a 911 operator. Go over first aid basics and store the first aid kit in a convenient location. Make sure they have

a weather radio and understand when and where to take shelter.”

Role play is a good way to help children make the right decisions in an emergency situation, such as a fire, tornado or accident, Benson said. She also recommends children who will be home alone take a babysitter¹s training course. The course teaches basic CPR along with other safety topics and is offered by several community organizations, including 4-H. In addition, parents should establish guidelines for answering the phone and the door, playing outdoors and using the computer.

“Children should never let an unknown adult or

child know they are home alone,” Benson said. “Parents should know how to check the history on the computer and understand what activity might be risky. Parents and children should have open, honest communication about the use of the computer.”

Cassandra Kirkland, Extension family life specialist, recommends parents consider limiting their children¹s access to the Internet.

“There are software packages available for parents who want to limit access to social networking sites or sites with inappropriate content,” Kirkland said. “Net Nanny is a highly rated example.”

Planning makes healthy snacks easy for kids

BY SUSAN COLLINS-SMITH MSU Ag Communications

After school, most kids raid the kitchen before they hit the books. If fruit is not one of their favorites, a few simple recipes and a little planning can help kids make better snacking decisions.

“Kids probably won¹t choose to eat an orange if they have to do the work of peeling it before they eat it,² said Dawn Vosbein, registered dietitian and family and consumer science agent with Mississippi State University¹s Extension Service in Pearl River County. ³If there is cut up fruit already in the fridge, all they have to do is grab it.”

While this approach may require parents to do more prep work, kids can

and should help.

“Let them be involved in the entire process,² Vosbein said. ³Take them to the grocery, and then get them in the kitchen. Kids who help make food will eat it, and they love playing with food. So make it fun for example, create some fruity butterflies with peanut butter, carrots, apples and raisins.”

Some easy, nutritious options that require little or no preparation are frozen melon chunks, homemade trail mix, peanut butter and sliced apples, or frozen bananas dipped in chocolate, Vosbein said.

Margaret White, Extension program assistant in Neshoba County with the Family Nutrition Education Program, said dairy products are a great way to add more calcium to an

after school snack.

“Milk and yogurt are good items to keep on hand. Kids can easily make sundaes with yogurt and fresh fruit. Yogurt is also a great base for dips, and milk is a much better beverage choice than soda.”

Both White and Vosbein suggested that kids and adults check out the U.S. Department of Agriculture¹s Choose My Plate website, located at www.choosemyplate.gov, for videos, games, and printable publications with nutrition information. Several easy snack ideas and recipes can be found in the 10 tips nutrition education series located on the website.

Parents and children should also review some safety guidelines if chil-

dren will be preparing food without adult supervision, White said.

“There are several snacks kids can make without using any appliances or sharp knives,” White said. “But if they want something that requires the use of a knife, microwave, toaster oven or stove, parents should teach them how to use these items safely.”

Children with permission to use appliances should have access to a fire extinguisher and know how to use it. Parents should also post emergency numbers and keep a first aid kit on hand.

“Personnel at any fire department can demonstrate how to use a fire extinguisher at no charge,” White said. “Parents also might consider doing a

children¹s diets, refer to Extension publication 2361, Fabulous Fruits Versatile Vegetables, available at www.msucares.com.

Get organized to reduce back-to-school stress Identify a ‘launch pad’ where everyone has a spot for their stuff

BY KERI COLLINS LEWIS MSU Ag Communications

Kids are not the only people feeling stressed about going back to school.

As families count down the days of summer, the idea of returning to schedules packed with work, school and extracurricular activities can cause a lot of tension.

Cassandra Kirkland, family life specialist with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, said getting organized now can help ease families into the required routines.

“Make a habit of creating a checklist of what is needed for the next day,” Kirkland said.

“Just making a checklist can reduce stress, but it also serves as a starting point for organizing everything each family member needs to make the next morning easier.”

Identify a ‘launch pad’ where everyone has a spot for their stuff, such as backpacks, lunches, car keys, sports equipment, cell phones, school IDs and jackets.

“Nightly routines, such as making sure homework has been completed, packing a lunch, setting out clothes for the next day and taking a bath not only help reduce stress in the morning, but also build good habits of responsibility and planning ahead,” Kirkland said.

Another way to stay on top of family activities is to have a family calendar that is easily accessible by everyone. Dry-erase, wipe-off or paper calendars can be color-coded for each family member. Parents with young children can incorporate magnets or stickers to add fun to the calendar, while also teaching concepts such as days of the week and months of the year.

“Favmilies with teens may find an electronic family calendar more helpful,” Kirkland said. “Families can synch online calendars or use calendar applications in their phones to keep everyone up-to-date on

Quality sleep can help reduce backto-school stress, and consistent nightly routines, such as brushing teeth and reading a bedtime story, help children relax and settle down before bedtime.

She stressed the importance of establishing routines and maintaining them consistently, even on the weekends.

“After a couple of weeks in a consistent routine, their bodies will automatically start to relax and settle down when you start the bedtime process,” she said. “Taking a bath, brushing their teeth and reading a bedtime story are extremely helpful ways to prepare children for bed.”

Keeping bedrooms quiet, cool, dark and comfortable promotes better sleep. A light, healthy snack before bedtime, such as ba-

appointments, activities and important events,” she said.

Even the most organized families can feel stressed if their busy schedules prevent them from getting proper rest.

Sleep is a key component to reducing back-to-school stress, said Lori Elmore-Staton, assistant professor in MSU¹s School of Human Sciences.

“Taking a bath 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime can help children settle down, and that timeframe allows their bodies to cool off, which promotes better quality sleep,” ElmoreStaton said.

nanas, dark leafy vegetables, berries, milk, peanut butter and whole grain foods can also help.

“Children should avoid caffeine, chocolate, and sugary or spicy foods before bedtime,” Elmore-Staton said. “They should also avoid screen time, whether it’s a TV, computer, cell phone or game console screen, because the light that is emitted from electronic screens can trick a child’s -- and an adult’s -- body into staying up longer.

Children have less restful sleep when they fall asleep watching TV.” Use the quiet time before bed to talk to children about

any back-to-school anxieties they might be experiencing and brainstorm strategies for dealing with their fears.

“Use deep breathing techniques, review class material regularly to avoid test anxiety and formulate positive messages to counteract the negative messages your children may hear during the day,” Kirkland said. “Be aware of your children¹s friends and the potential bullies in the classroom.

Make communication part of your nightly routine, and as your family relationships get stronger, your stress level should decrease.”

Students encouraged to drink water, not sodas

BY LINDA BREAZEALE MSU Ag Communications

Mississippi schools are leading the national effort to reduce excessive sugar intake from beverages that can do students more harm than good, and parents can follow their example at home.

Becke Bounds, assistant director of child nutrition with the Mississippi Department of Education, said Mississippi schools eliminated all full-calorie, sugared carbonated soft drinks during the school day in 2007.

Steps have also been taken to make all school food healthier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mississippi has been way ahead of the nation at addressing snack and vending issues at schools,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the national level, schools have only recently started addressing these nutritional concerns.â&#x20AC;?

The Mississippi Department of Education regulations allow only water and 100 percent fruit juices in vending machines for elementary and middle schools. In addition to those options, sports drinks are permitted in high schools. Students are allowed to bring low-fat or skim milk from home.

Dawn Vosbein, a family and consumer science agent in Pearl River County with the Mississippi State University Extension Service, agreed that Mississippi schools are ahead of most states in efforts to provide healthier options at schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next, we need parents to adopt similar nutritional policies when the children are in their care,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, these are good standards for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, these are good standards for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Dawn Vosbein Family and consumer science extension agent Vosbein said children should not drink sugary sodas or anything with caffeine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cut sports drinks in half with water because the concentrated amount of sodium could end up dehydrating instead of rehydrating. During athletic activities, water does not have enough sodium, and undiluted sports drinks may have too much sodium,â&#x20AC;? said Vosbein, an exercise physiologist and former athletic trainer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding water will also reduce the cost of the drinks.â&#x20AC;?

From an academic standpoint, physically fit students typically perform better in their studies, Vosbein pointed out.

Natasha Haynes, an Extension family and consumer science agent based in Rankin County, said the bottom line is that people who drink soft drinks take in more calories than those who do not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages has been associated with weight gain, overweight, obesity and Type 2 diabetes,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A can of soda has 150 calories and 10 teaspoons of sugar in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. If these calories are added to the typical diet without cutting back on something else, one soda a day could lead to a weight gain of 15 pounds in one year.â&#x20AC;?

Options for buying a new computer depend on student needs

BY DR. MARIAH SMITH Extension Center for Technology Outreach

School supplies are popping up on store shelves as families prepare to start back to school in early August.

The window of time surrounding the back-toschool marketing event is an excellent time to look at purchasing a new computer since many stores will have them on sale as August arrives.

Buying a computer can be a daunting task, but there are several key factors to keep in mind when shopping for one. First, consider who will be using the computer, and second, know what the primary purpose will be.

If the user just wants to check email, the computer needs significantly less memory and hard drive

space than a system used by someone who plans on playing computer games.

Before buying computers for college-bound students, contact their college departments and ask whether there are any special requirements for computers. For example, many communication, engineering and art programs require specific hardware.

The technical term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hardware specificationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; refers to the computeršs ability to perform. A computer equipped with a 500 GB (gigabyte) hard drive can store about 128,000 (4 MB, highresolution) images. Most computers on the market today come with at least a 500 GB hard drive, which is fine for the everyday user. The next size up is 1,000 GB, which is also known as 1 TB (terabyte).

$D>C JH ;DG -:C>DG %>8@ D;; HI 96N D; H8=DDA

Many manufacturers are choosing to market their computers as having 1,000 GB rather than 1 TB because 1,000 GB makes consumers think they are getting more.

Manufacturers will try to save money or lower the cost of a computer by reducing its memory. Memory or RAM (random access memory), as it is also called is a key determinant to how fast the computer retrieves and processes information.

More RAM equals a faster computer. Most computers on the market today come equipped with 6 GB of memory.

There are three basic types of computers: desktop, laptop and netbook. A netbook is appropriate only for checking email and running one or two programs at a time. The biggest dif-

ference between a laptop and a desktop is that the desktop is easier to work on if it needs repairs. The desktop is also stationary, which makes it more durable. A laptop is best for portability. There are several other items to consider, such as the productivity software (like Microsoft Office, Corel or OpenOffice) and the antivirus software.

A good rule of thumb is to purchase as much hard drive and memory as you can afford. However, hard drive and memory will be of little value if you fail to adequately maintain your computer and avoid viruses and malware.

One thing to be aware of as you shop for your computer is the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;refurbishedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Many backto-school specials offer refurbished computers

that previous owners returned because the systems didnšt work or the original users didnšt like them. Manufacturers go to great lengths to make these computer as good as new, but they cannot sell them as new. Only buy a refurbished computer if it comes with an extended warranty, and check the return policy carefully. Usually, if you are going to have difficulties with a computer, you will have them within the first month of purchase.

Tablets and iPads definitely have the cool factor, but be sure to check with your studentšs teacher or college to make sure the device has enough resources to meet the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homework needs.

Many students opt for cool over functional when it comes to technology

purchases, and that may leave them out late at night working in the computer lab to finish school projects. Tablets are great for replacing standard textbooks and note taking. Additionally, they can be useful in helping to build skills in difficult subjects or in providing instant access to videos that demonstrate key concepts. However, if your student is planning on majoring in engineering while in college, he or she better have a laptop that can handle the massive software requirements.

Whether itšs the first day of kindergarten or the first day of college, carefully consider what technology needs face your students and make informed decisions on where to spend your money.

Sprucing up kids’ spaces can help at school (StatePoint) Making sure your kids have all the tools they need for a great school year should include evaluating their space at home. Are your children set up for success with proper study areas and storage spaces?

“Refreshing kids’ bedrooms, homework and play areas, and giving them a dedicated area of their own, will put them in the right frame of mind to do well in school,” says Marika Snider, principle of Snider Architecture and member of the American Institute of Architect’s Small Projects Practitioners Committee.

Snider offers the following tips on creating a productive and energizing space for kids of all ages:

Open-space computer zones “Many parents realize that Internet and online safety is a must for children,” says Snider. “Prop-

right in or nearby a main area where parents frequently walk by.

A splash of color A fresh coat of paint or an entirely new color is a quick, yet effective way to spruce up a room. To help kids feel even more engaged with the space, parents can even let them pick the color so they have a sense of ownership. Parents can change the color as the tastes of the child changes.

Storage and space

Helping your child have a great school year starts at home. For a fresh start, spruce up areas used for work and play. er design of computer rooms can help parents monitor what kids are doing when online.”

Snider recommends

creating an open-plan designated homework and Internet space to allow parents to pay closer attention to what kids are

doing on their computers. Rather than allowing computers in their bedrooms, Snider recommends that this space be

According to Snider, looking at how a child uses his or her space is very important, so that it can remain neat and organized.

For older children, an armoire is a great way to store a computer, a television and school supplies like notebooks.

Simply shutting the door will make the room look clean when those gadgets

are not in use. For children of all ages, a large counter top is good, so they can spread out their homework or art projects.

Remove clutter and gain easy access to storage with bins.

Utilize leftover areas Many parents may not realize that homes are often full of unused spaces that can be repurposed for a child’s needs.

For example, the areas under stairs can be made into study nooks or private reading spaces. Shelves or triangle-shaped desks can transform an unused corner in a room into an area where homework and other schoolwork can be completed.

Help students keep their lockers organized this school year (StatePoint) Parents can do everything in their power to provide children with the proper tools and supplies to stay organized this school year.

But when their kids get to school, all preparations can easily get thrown out the window -- or, into a messy locker.

As the one piece of real estate students keep without regular parental review, the locker is often a place of disorganization and a pitfall in the path to being and staying organized.

To help students get their lockers in order and, in turn, keep them functional and organized for efficient learning, follow these quick tips:

Shelving Notepads, pens, papers and other everyday items tend to get stuffed in the bottom of lockers without arrangement, leading to wrinkled assignments, smashed food, and lost books.

Use durable, long-lasting locker shelves, like the

Five Star Stackable Shelf or Five Star Top Shelf Extender, to create additional space for school supplies.

These locker shelves hold up to 100 pounds, so books, binders and other supplies can quickly and easily be stacked or thrown into the locker.

Keep personal items and academic supplies separate for quick and easy access to both.

With an organizer like the Five Star Hanging Locker Shelf, students can store a makeup bag or

running shoes in the top compartment and textbooks, folders and binders in the bottom, creating an easily accessible space.

Easy access Books should sit upright in the locker to maximize space and be displayed with the spines facing out so it’s easy to see which books are needed.

Arranging books to align with their class schedule also makes it

easy when students have just a few minutes between classes.

Save locker space and time between classes by magnetically storing pens and pencils on the locker door. The Five Star Neo Storage Pocket has industrial-strength magnets that ensure no matter how hard the locker is slammed, the pocket will securely stay on the locker door. Contents stay in place for an easy graband-go at the next locker stop.

Set a schedule Even with an organization plan in place, it doesn’t take much for a locker to get cluttered all over again. Create a cleaning schedule -- either weekly or even once-a-semester -- to straighten up and reassess the contents of the locker.

Include a weekly locker purge where all unnecessary items are removed and all missing supplies are replaced.

(StatePoint) School is a great place to learn, play and make friends. Unfortunately it’s also a great place for germs to get very well acquainted…. with your family! With 20 to 30 kids in a classroom and even more on the playground, it’s hard to avoid the germs that cause such illnesses as colds, flus and more.

Three-time Gold Medalist, wife and busy mom of two, Christie Rampone knows the importance of good health. As captain of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team, she travels over two hundred days a year, often with her young children in tow. So stress, fatigue and staying healthy are daily battles. Since days off are not an option for Rampone, she is offering five “stay healthy” tips that parents can follow all school year long:

• Eat healthy: It’s no secret, a balanced diet is key for a healthy immune system. By focusing on a variety of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods and sugary snacks, your family will get the nutrition it needs to fight off germs during the school year.

“Some of my favorite healthy snacks are carrots, celery and apples.

They are easy to pack and extremely nutritious,” says Rampone. “The trick is to create variety, because kids tend to grow tired of the same things quickly.”

• Get plenty of exercise: Frequent, moderate exercise is important for good health and strong immunity. On a daily basis, encourage kids to play sports, run, bike ride or dance, all to keep their bodies fit, hearts pump-

ing strong and minds happy. Better yet, join in on the fun yourself!

• Sleep at least seven hours a night: Sleep is crucial to good health, both mentally and physically.

A recent study showed that when you get less than seven hours sleep at night, you’re three times more likely to come down with a cold or flu.

• Take supplements as needed: Government recommendations call for five to eight servings of fruits and vegetables a day. But how many of us really get them? To help fill the gaps, look for nutritional supplements supported by published clinical research, like those containing EpiCor, an immune-strengthening ingredient found in many dietary supplement Please see GERMS | 9C

Make the most of back to school checkups (StatePoint) Between buying new school supplies and meeting your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers, back to school season is a busy time. But parents should not forget to prep for the school year by considering health and wellness.

Experts say the first step is to schedule a visit to the doctor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The start of a new school year is an excellent reminder to take kids to the pediatrician for their annual checkup,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Thomas K. McInerny, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

To prepare for a healthy, safe and happy school year, the AAP is offering these tips for parents: â&#x20AC;˘ Doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit: Make the most of your visit to the pediatrician by making a list of issues to discuss. â&#x20AC;˘ Immunizations: Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the parent of a young child, a teen or a young adult heading to college, ask your pediatrician what immunizations your child is due to receive. Vaccines save lives and keep kids and adults healthy. â&#x20AC;˘ Nutrition: Talk with your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pediatrician and school about healthful food choices. You can

ask the school to stock the cafeteria and vending machines with nutritious food, such as fresh fruit, low-fat dairy products, water and 100 percent fruit juice. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the options the school offers, pack lunch and snacks at home.

Limit soda consumption. Each 12-ounce soft drink contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories.

Drinking just one can of soda a day increases a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of obesity by 60 percent. â&#x20AC;˘ Exercise: Make sure your kids are getting plenty of exercise. Turn off the television and make time for sports teams, gymnastics classes and bike rides.

Aim for at least an hour a day. â&#x20AC;˘ Backpacks: Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back or a rolling backpack. Backpacks should never weigh more than 10 to 20 percent of your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body weight. â&#x20AC;˘ Sleep: Children and adolescents need plenty of sleep to be alert. A regular bedtime can help your child get on a healthy sleep schedule. â&#x20AC;˘ Bullies: A bully can pose a true threat to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical and men-

brands sold in stores and online. Rampone, who has battled Lyme disease, which wreaks havoc on the immune system, has been using such supplements for herself and her entire family. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about you: As a parent, your first priority is usually the kids. But you need to make sure that you also take care of yourself

too, especially during the chaotic school and work week. Make sure that you drink enough water and get a few minutes each day to relax and recharge your immune battery.

While you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t avoid germs, you can take steps to strengthen your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immunity and overall health.

tal well-being. Your pediatrician is well equipped to answer questions about mental health, too. Teach kids how to respond confidently to bullies and encourage them to tell an adult when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem. Remember, bullying can occur online too.

So keep tabs of your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social media use. â&#x20AC;˘ College health: For kids heading to college, ask your pediatrician about coordinating health care with the school.
