Today in History
Across the Region Booneville
Today is Sunday, May 14, the 134th day of 2017. There are 231 days left in the year. This is Mother’s Day.
Today’s Highlight in History On May 14, 1787, delegates began gathering at the State House in Philadelphia to draw up the United States Constitution. However, only delegates from Virginia and Pennsylvania had arrived by this time, and the convention did not achieve a quorum of seven states until May 25.
On this date In 1643, Louis XIV became King of France at age four upon the death of his father, Louis XIII. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner inoculated 8-year-old James Phipps against smallpox by using cowpox matter. In 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the Louisiana Territory as well as the Pacific Northwest left camp near present-day Hartford, Illinois. In 1900, the Olympic games opened in Paris as part of the 1900 World’s Fair. In 1925, the Virginia Woolf novel “Mrs Dalloway” was first published in England and the United States. In 1942, Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait” was first performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In 1948, according to the current-era calendar, the independent state of Israel was proclaimed in Tel Aviv. In 1955, representatives from eight Communist bloc countries, including the Soviet Union, signed the Warsaw Pact in Poland. (The Pact was dissolved in 1991.) In 1961, Freedom Riders were attacked by violent mobs in Anniston and Birmingham, Alabama. In 1973, the United States launched Skylab 1, its first manned space station. (Skylab 1 remained in orbit for six years before burning up during re-entry in 1979.) The National Right to Life Committee was incorporated. In 1987, actress Rita Hayworth died in New York at age 68. In 1998, singer-actor Frank Sinatra died at a Los Angeles hospital at age 82. The hit sitcom “Seinfeld” aired its final episode after nine years on NBC.
Ten years ago DaimlerChrysler said it was selling almost all of Chrysler to private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management for $7.4 billion, backing out of a troubled 1998 takeover.

Supervisors approve repairs to fire alarm BOONEVILLE — Supervisors have approved a quote for the repair of the fire alarm system at the county jail. The board voted recently to accept a quote of $4,067 from E-Fire for the repair of the system to get it back in full working order. The board also voted to take under advisement for review bids on a new hangar to be constructed at the BoonevilleBaldwyn Airport. Southland Construction was the apparent low bidder on the project with a bid of $268,778. Mastercraft Builders submitted a bid of $294,387 and Worsham Brothers bid $309,000. The project will be funded through a 95 percent grant from the Federal Aviation Administration along with a 2.5 percent match from the state
and the county. The board will officially award the contract for the project at their mid-month meeting on May 16. The board also voted Monday to approve the annual contract with Tri State Consultants for county mapping services with an approximate six percent increase over the previous year, the first increase in several years.
Selmer Legislation makes college affordable SELMER, Tenn. — Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam recently thanked the General Assembly for its partnership in making Tennessee the first state in the nation to offer all citizens – both high school graduates and adults – the chance to earn a postsecondary degree or certificate free of tuition and fees and at no cost to taxpayers. Building off the pioneering
bill’s sponsors, Leader Norris and Representatives Hawk and Powers, for their partnership in this important effort and look forward to signing the bill.” Drive to 55 is the governor’s initiative to increase the number of Tennesseans with a postsecondary degree or certificate to 55 percent by 2025. Currently, Tennessee needs 871,000 postsecondary degrees or certificates to reach 55 percent, but mathematically there’s no way to reach that goal by only serving high school students. There are over 900,000 adults in Tennessee who have some college but no degree. Tennessee adults without a certificate can already attend Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology (TCATs) tuition-free under the current Reconnect program. The Tennessee Reconnect Act adds community colleges to the program, funded through the lottery for education account.
Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell, Biggersville High School Principal Pete Seago and teacher/assistant principal Ray Nash admire the paint job on the 2008 Chevrolet Impala given to the school by the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department and Board of Supervisors. The school made a request for assistance in replacing its driver’s education car. “We were happy to be fortunate enough to have one in our impounded fleet, so we could help the school district,” Caldwell said. Tony Geer of Procraft Automotive in Corinth volunteered to paint the vehicle. Houston Sign and Design provided the logo for the car. Nash’s students dyed the carpets, detailed the car, and performed regular maintenance as part of their class. “We appreciate the sheriff and the Board of Supervisors for making it possible for us to replace our old car. Community support of our district and our school is what makes both great,” Seago said. Sealed bids will be accepted on the former driver’s ed car, a white 1998 Buick Ultra, until June 9 at 12 p.m. For more information or to see the car, contact Seago at 286-3542.
Event celebrates emancipation of slaves in 1865 BY ISABELLE ALTMAN Associated Press
COLUMBUS — On May 8, 1865, federal troops arrived in Columbus and freed the black slaves who remained in bondage in the city. The following year, many of those former slaves and their allies celebrated the anniversary of their emancipation. “These freed people had a party,” said Dustin Dunaway, a Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science senior who performed the speaking role of Cyrus Green, a northerner who moved to Columbus after the Civil War to help educate African-Americans. “Today was the day long-remembered by many

of the African-Americans here. It was the first celebration of the commemoration of their freedom. One year ago, this morning, the federal troops arrived at this place to claim the slaves free.” Dunaway and fellow AfricanAmerican history students, along with students from the school’s Voices in Harmony choir, performed spirituals and skits in which students portrayed prominent African-Americans from Columbus’ history. The performance is held every year on May 8 in the city’s historic AfricanAmerican burial place, Sandfield Cemetery. This year for the first time, the performance included songs by MSMS Strings.
“We’re focusing on people who overcame a lot,” said Chuck Yarborough, a history teacher at MSMS who organizes the program. “In the South, we like to say that we’ve often ‘made a way out of no way.’ And we’re focusing on people in the late 19th and early 20th century who almost every day made a way out of no way.” The performance began with Dunaway’s explanation of the first Eighth of May celebration and the hardships AfricanAmericans and their white allies faced at the time — how white supremacists used violence to keep their black neighbors from participating in politics or even educating their children. Other
students moved the audience through Columbus’s history, starting with Reconstruction, into the era of Jim Crow and eventually to the civil rights movement, with a performance by Mickel Sandifer, who played NAACP leader and Columbus dentist Dr. Emmett Stringer. “He ran his own independent business and at the same time was an advocate (who) helped everyone in the area get out and vote,” Sandifer said about Stringer. His favorite line in the monologue he recites is about Stringer saying he was involved in the NAACP “before he was old enough to go to the drive-in movies.”

Tennessee Promise program, which provides high school graduates two years of community or technical college free of tuition and fees, the Tennessee Reconnect Act establishes a last-dollar scholarship for adults to attend a community college tuition-free. The legislation is on its way to the governor’s desk after being passed by the General Assembly. “In Tennessee, we’ve determined that the best jobs plan is an education plan. If we want to have jobs ready for Tennesseans, we have to make sure that Tennesseans are ready for jobs, and there is no smarter investment than increasing access to high quality education,” Haslam said. “Just as we did with Tennessee Promise, we’re making a clear statement to families: wherever you fall on life’s path, education beyond high school is critical to the Tennessee we can be.

Take time for Mom BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Columnists
I wish I had my mother this Mother’s Day, actually every day. How sweet it would be to talk to her on the telephone and talk about the weather, family and friends and hear about what she was doing. How better yet it would be if life was such that I could take her to G.C. Murphy’s snack bar and buy her a hot dog. Dad and mom gave me $5 and bought me a bicycle if I agreed to have my tonsils removed when I was about seven years old. When dad gave me the $5 I wanted to pay for our lunch, which consisted of hotdogs and cokes at the old soda fountain bar in the now defunct G.C. Murphy’s store in downtown Paintsville, Kentucky. It was the most money I had owned in my life and it felt good to treat mom and dad. I never got the opportunity to do more for my mom and dad than they did for me. I would have liked to but time ran out. I hear stories about rock stars who buy their parents cars and houses and stuff like that. That’s cool but then often I hear about some of the same rock stars going broke and mom losing the house so that’s not cool. This is all beside the point. I just wish mom were alive so I could buy her Sunday dinner and give her some flowers. I took her some flowers on her birthday September 3, 2001. She was on a breathing tube and wasn’t aware of my presence. I wanted to give her some flowers one more time while she was living. Hindsight is always 20/20. We know people are going to die but we seldom make the most of our time with people. Mom was a loving lady. She was a hard worker. She demonstrated Christian faith and perseverance and much more. My wife and mother of my two sons passed almost 15 years ago. She was a great lady and mother to our children. She loved my boys more than life and the last thing she asked me to do was to please take care of them. I’ve tried but no one takes the place of a child’s mother. My two grandmothers have passed on. My Mama Mollette and Mama Hinkle were just incredible women that would brighten any grandson’s day. I wish I still had them. There are numerous wonderful women who I can call and wish Happy Mother’s Day and I think I will this weekend. Special moms need to know they are worthy. I do have one very special mom in my life and that is my wife. She’s great. She loves our five children and three grandchildren. She tries her best to go the third mile with each of them. She works, she cleans, she bakes, she washes clothes, worries, prays, cries, helps and is just an all around great wife and mother. She is worthy of praise, love, flowers, candy, dinner and whatever I can come up with to give her. I just hope that I can cherish the day with a great lady, wife and mom because time unfortunately is not really on our side when it comes to lots of tomorrows. On Mother’s Day or any day take lots of time and thought for the moms in your life, while you have the chance.
Minimum wage destroys jobs Dear Ms. Jane Fonda: Before you traveled to Detroit this weekend to campaign for a $12 minimum wage, I hope you read this letter. I’m sure you mean well. But are you familiar with the voluminous number of peer-reviewed studies that conclude minimum-wage laws damaged the very people that many of the Hollywood left say they care about -- blacks? Respected economist David Neumark examined all of the major academic minimum-wage studies from the previous 20 years, more than 100 studies in all. Eightyfive percent of the studies found that minimum-wage laws destroy jobs, causing workers to lose jobs and/or hours or causing businesses to shut down. “Minimumwage laws,” said Neumark, have “a negative employment effect on low-skilled workers.” Believe it or not, before minimum-wage laws took effect, a black teenager was actually more likely to have a job than a white teen. I repeat -- before the impact of federal minimum-wage laws, the first of which was in 1938, a black teen was more likely to be employed than a white teen. What happened? Nobel-winning economist Milton Friedman calls the minimum-wage law “one of the most, if not the most, anti-black laws on the statute books.” Friedman said: “The

do-gooders believe that by passing a law saying that nobody shall get less than $2 an Larry hour or $2.50 Elder an hour, or whatever the Columnist m i n i m u m wage is, you are helping poor people who need the money. You are doing nothing of the kind. What you are doing is to assure that people whose skills are not sufficient to justify that kind of a wage will be unemployed. ... “The minimum wage law is most properly described as a law saying employers must discriminate against people who have low skills. That’s what the law says. The law says here’s a man who ... has a skill which would justify a wage rate of $1.50, $2.00 an hour. You can’t, you may not employ him. It’s illegal. Because if you employ him you have to pay him $2.50. Well, what’s the result? To employ him at $2.50 is to engage in charity. Now there’s nothing wrong with charity. But most employers are not in a position where they can engage in that kind of charity. Thus the consequences of minimum-wage rates have been almost wholly bad, to increase unemployment and to increase poverty. Moreover, the effects have been concentrated on the groups that the do-gooders would most like to help. The
people who have been hurt most by minimum-wage laws are the blacks.” Contrary to popular belief, most people on minimum wages are not men with families, but teenagers and part-time workers, and a disproportionately high percentage of them are young black and brown workers. The Black Entertainment Television website, in 2011, published an article titled “Black Teens are Fired When the Minimum Wage Rises”: “Economists William Even from Miami University and David Macpherson from Trinity University report that when a state, or the federal government, increases the minimum wage, black teens are more likely to be laid off. ... The report focused on 16- to 24-yearold males without a high school diploma and found that for each 10 percent increase in the federal or state minimum wage employment for young black males decreased 6.5 percent. By contrast, after the same wage boost, employment for white and Hispanic males fell respectively just 2.5 percent and 1.2 percent. “The real hit for black teens occurred, however, in the 21 states that had the federal minimum wage increase in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The findings reveal that while 13,200 black young adults lost their jobs as a direct result of the recession nearly 40 percent more, a total of 18,500,
were fired because of the rise in the federal minimum wage.” A new study on the minimum wage just came in. “Survival of the Fittest: The Impact of the Minimum Wage on Firm Exit” is by two researchers, one with Mathematica Policy Research and the other with Harvard Business School. It focused on whether a minimum wage increase also increased the likelihood of a restaurant shutting down as a result of the increased cost of labor. The researchers concluded that “a $1 increase in the minimum wage leads to approximately a 4 to 10 percent increase in the likelihood of exit.” Not good. Finally, even California Gov. Jerry Brown, who signed a $15 minimumwage bill last year, conceded, “Economically, minimum wages may not make sense. But morally, and socially and politically, they make every sense because it binds the community together.” Astonishing. Tell that to somebody who lost a job or failed to get one because of the minimum wage. Sincerely, Larry Elder Larry Elder is a bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio talk-show host.

A scandal about smoke The cliche about the Russia investigation is that there’s a lot of smoke, and with the firing of FBI Director James Comey, President Donald Trump rolled a military-grade smoke grenade into the room. There were many legitimate reasons to fire Comey, who repeatedly went outside Department of Justice guidelines to comment on the investigation of Hillary Clinton during last year’s presidential campaign. Annoyance with his handling of the Russia investigation isn’t one of them. The firing has stoked charges of a cover-up and again raised the questions, Why, if Trump has nothing to hide, does he act so guilty? Why, if there’s no fire, is there always so much smoke? But so far, the scandal is nothing but smoke: We get hints of what might be, pending further revelations, serious misconduct, always augmented by Trump’s defensive bluster. It’s all highly suspect, yet it’s hard to see what exactly will constitute the grave underlying offense. The most plausible of

these suspicions, that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians, has Rich never made Lowry much sense on the face of National it. The RusReview sians hacked Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign emails and walked across the street to hand them over to WikiLeaks for dissemination. Why would any coordination with the Trump campaign be necessary? Then there’s the motley crew of Page, Manafort & Flynn, the former advisers evidently at the center of the Russia matter. According to The New York Times, Carter Page occasioned the FBI investigation into Trump’s campaign when he traveled to Moscow for a presentation last July. Page, listed as a Trump foreignpolicy adviser when the campaign was desperate for any names, is the very definition of a marginal player. As for former nationalsecurity adviser Michael
Flynn, a haze of sketchiness surrounds him. But his offenses have to do with the alleged failure to adequately disclose lobbying work and get Pentagon approval for a paid speech for RT in Moscow (none of which involves Trump), and his deception about the content of phone calls with the Russian ambassador during the transition (for which he was fired). Then there’s Paul Manafort. He’s a stereotypical slippery Washington operator. It’s very easy to believe that his business dealings deserve to be under investigation, but Trump fired him last August. In short, it’s entirely possible that none of this really has anything to do with Trump directly. Yet he’s been a human smoke-making machine. He is simply incapable of a little deftness. During the campaign, he could have easily said, “It’s clear the Russians are behind this hacking and I’m appalled by it, but boy, is Hillary Clinton corrupt.” After the campaign, he could have said, “I support any and all investigations to get to the bottom of the Russian hacking.”

Maybe Trump doesn’t say these things because he has a cognizance of guilt and fear of exposure. But there’s a ready, innocent explanation: He never makes a concession against interest. He knew admitting the Russians were involved in the hacking during the election would make his attacks on Clinton a little more complicated. He feared that any additional focus on Russia after the election would legitimize Democratic claims that the election was stolen, and considers every insinuation about Russia an attack on his standing and honor. So he fights back hammer and tongs, and his critics sense something rotten lurking underneath the combativeness. Even if there’s nothing at the bottom of the Russia matter, Trump and his team are still in jeopardy. Washington scandals have a way of becoming about the handling of the scandal, and the firing of Comey may signal the beginning of that phase. Certainly that’s the hope of the Democrats. Where there’s smoke, in other words, they want to make fire.

DOWNTOWN CONTINUED FROM 1A
groups who have helped create a destination while shaping downtown Corinth’s retail scene. “Downtown’s boom has a lot to do with the number of great shops open for business,” said The Alliance President Clayton Stanley. “They have helped turn the area into a vibrant place where people want to come. While the store owners are making an investment in their businesses, it’s really the developers who I think are contributing the most to our downtown’s long term success.” According to developer Robert Williams, retail is what’s keeping downtown alive. He and Zane Elliott are currently renovating the once shabby corner building at Wick and Fillmore streets. Their company – Well Invested LLC – initially planned to create five retail storefronts on the bottom floor and five apartments on the top floor of the building. The plan changed when The Alliance showed interest in all but two downstairs
retail spots. “We’re very happy about The Alliance move,” said Williams. “We think that’s the perfect spot for them.” The group’s investment in the area of downtown Corinth once known as the “wrong side of the tracks” can likely be contributed to the millions invested by Property Solutions on the former “warehouse row” of Wick Street. Comprised of Stuart Green and Trey Albright, Property Solutions began construction about three years ago when they purchased the entire block of Wick Street between Franklin and Taylor streets. “It was a forgotten part of downtown we thought could be revitalized,” said Albright. “We didn’t just want to do remodels. We wanted to create something new. We wanted to rebrand the area.” From plans drawn on a napkin, Albright and Green created the SoCo District. Their improvements included 12 completely renovated retail spaces on Wick Street, a

The duo also donated a small green space area or pocket park to the City of Corinth and Main Street Corinth. “Our goal has always been to turn bad parts of Corinth into useable, attractive areas,” said Albright. “We love this community and this is one way we can show it.” Between Green and Albright, the pair have combined to complete 23 storefronts in both the SoCo District and the existing part of downtown, north of the tracts. Albright added, “It’s not just us. Developers have been turning downtown eyesores into beautiful buildings for years before we did this, but I do think it’s all this new work ... all this love for downtown that has fueled more people to want to invest in downtown.” Williams agreed. “I love Corinth.

I think it’s important to do everything we can to improve the quality of life and invest in the town,” he said. It might have been Williams and his dad, Bailey, who were among the first to turn crumbling buildings into retail gold. The two were the drivers behind an area of renovated retail space at Fillmore Place located at the cor-
ner of Fillmore and Foote streets. Retail development also continues with work being done by Market Square Inc. on Cruise Street. Developers Lanny Griffith and Preston Knight with general manager John Marby will soon open Cruise Street Market, downtown’s first organic-style grocery store.
Williams continued, “In most small towns, their downtowns are dying, but not ours. Downtown Corinth is thriving thanks to the retail, restaurants, people living in apartments, festivals and things to do, and best part is, it’s a safe place. Our downtown is very unique and our best asset. “We are so very fortunate.”
an infant at a more mature age. She gets emotional when she talks about the differences between then and now, and explained that the patience level is much different now. “One of the biggest differences from then and now is that now I know just how quickly time flies. When your kids are little and they’re into everything and they’re keeping you up at night, as a younger mother you think, ‘Oh, this will never end,’” said Lambert. “It’s not like that now. Now, when Henry keeps me up at night, I think that’s just that much more time I get to spend with him. I cherish every second I have with him because now I know how time goes so fast.” Another distinct difference from then until now is that Lambert said she did not work outside the home with her first two children, but now she does. She is employed at McPeters Funeral Directors and says that her mother looks after Henry while Lambert is at work.
She said her husband is also extremely helpful and is a hands-on type of father. “Brad is such a good daddy. He does the diapers, feedings, baths ... he does everything,” she said. She also noted that her oldest son, Zach, and his wife, Jessie, will help with Henry sometimes. In fact, she said the whole family pitches in. “I really believe that ‘it takes a village’ to raise a child,” said Lambert, with a laugh. She added that she believes it is a great thing that Henry is able to interact with a network of his family members. Mother’s Day today means more to her than ever before, but she mostly looks forward to being with her own mother and having all of her children together. “I think I appreciate Mother’s Day more now. I love having all the kids together, that’s one of the things I look forward to,” said Lambert. “Our children are definitely something to celebrate.”

mother had us young, so we all kind of grew up at the same time,” said Lambert. “It was not honed into me to get an education first.” Lambert said pregnancy with her second child, Gracie, was difficult and had some major complications. She was still young and had considered sterilization surgery at the time due to the complications. However, her doctor advised against it due to her youth, advising that she may want another child in the future. Fast forward several years and into her current marriage, Lambert said she is glad she didn’t undergo the sterilization surgery. She had never thought about having another child, and didn’t realize she wanted another child until two heartwrenching miscarriages. She and her current husband Brad finally did have the child they wanted. Henry Joe is now 14 months old and is helping Lambert write the second

I prayed for him and ... then he happened,” said Lambert. Since her second pregnancy was so physically
traumatic, Lambert said her family was understandably concerned. She was a few years older. “I told everyone ‘God’s got this’ and He did. Henry’s just ... perfect. He’s just the perfect child, but I know everyone thinks that about their child,” she said. “We were
blessed. It’s the only word I know to use.” She said her older children were surprised, but happy about having a new sibling when she told them about it. With her older children already adults, Lambert now has acquired a new perspective as she raises

Court: Rape suit doesn’t require arbitration BY JEFF AMY Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Saturday that “we can make a fast decision” on a new FBI director, possibly by late next week, before he leaves on his first foreign trip since taking office. “Even that is possible,” Trump told reporters when asked whether he could announce his nominee by Friday, when he is scheduled to leave for the Mideast and Europe.

McBride Funeral Home, Inc. will have the arrangements. Bro. Bradley Watson and Bro. Mark Franz will officiate the service.
JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled that a former tenant can sue a Jackson apartment complex where she was raped even though she signed an arbitration clause in her lease to settle disputes privately. The 8-1 decision on Thursday found that the tenant, suing under the pseudonym “Jane Doe,” had signed an agreement to arbitrate only disputes about her lease, and not about what happened in the parking lot where she was kidnapped. Increasing numbers of companies have put pri-
vate arbitration clauses into contracts in recent decades, making it difficult to bring lawsuits. Some consumer advocates and plaintiffs lawyers say people are being stripped of their right to a day before a judge or a jury. But Mississippi’s Supreme Court has repeatedly upheld arbitration clauses in contracts in recent years. Thursday’s ruling could make it a little easier for people to escape arbitration clauses. But Jackson lawyer Robert Gibbs, the secretary of the Mississippi Bar’s alternative dispute resolution section, predicted the effect would be minimal. He said com-

panies will likely react by broadening their arbitration clauses. “The merchant will just change their arbitration clause to make it all-inclusive,” Gibbs said Friday. “As long as it’s all-inclusive, the dispute is going to be resolved through arbitration.” In the Jane Doe case, a tenant of the Hallmark Gardens apartment complex in north Jackson sued the complex’s owner and security firm, plus managers and employees of both. She contended the owner and security firm were negligent in April 2014, when two men kidnapped her in the parking lot at gunpoint, forced her into her own car, pistolwhipped her, then repeatedly raped her. Hallmark and the security firm both sought to settle the dispute through arbitration. Hinds County Circuit Court Jeff Weill Sr. granted the motion. But Associate Justice
James D. Maxwell, writing for the majority, said the arbitration agreement was too narrow to force Jane Doe to resolve her claims through private dispute resolution, and that Weill should have allowed the suit to proceed. “The question we must decide here is: Did the parties agree to submit to arbitration Jane’s claims against Hallmark? After review, we find they did not,” Maxwell wrote, sending the case back to Hinds County Circuit Court. “The parties simply did not contemplate arbitrating Jane’s assaultand rape-based lawsuit..., unrelated to the rights and obligations of the lease.” Presiding Justice Jess Dickinson was the only dissenter, saying Jane Doe was only in the parking lot because she had leased an apartment, and thus the arbitration cause covering the lease should cover this dispute, too.

God is using Tommy,” said Bostick. “He’s using him through this life changing ministry.” Tyler Pitman is one man who has been changed by Living Free. “It’s a wonderful place with great people who love God and love to help people,” he said. “It changed my life, saved my marriage and helped me restore my relationship with God.” Living Free hosts normal meetings and meals three times a week. Through small groups, celebration night and men’s Bible study, new approaches to life are taught using the Word of God. For local people who seek help from the Home of Grace, a residential addiction recovery program on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Living Free is the perfect meeting place when they return to the Crossroads area.
Stennett Price is one who thanks the local ministry for laying out the welcome mat through the Living Free Doing Life Together program. “After I got out of Home of Grace, there was about a month or so where I had a real hard time. Then I found Living Free. It was and is what I really need in my life. I needed to keep working a program even after leaving Home of Grace,” said Price. “Now I’m working the Living Free program harder than ever.” Founded by Wilson in 2005, he hoped but never dreamed he would be able to reach so many in the community. “Everything that we have been able to do has been thanks to the funds and support of the community,” he said. “The reunion will be a celebration of what God has done through Living Free.” (Living Free is located at 2024 U.S. Highway 72 Annex, behind Magnolia Funeral Home in Corinth.

Ex-LA sheriff gets 3-year sentence LOS ANGELES — Former Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for obstructing an FBI investigation into abuses at the jails he ran. The 74-year-old Baca, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, was sentenced by a judge who has shown little leniency when it comes to Baca’s role atop a department rife with corruption. U.S. District Court Judge Percy Anderson said he would have sentenced Baca to five years in prison except for his years of service and the Alzheimer’s diagnosis. The judge, however, took exception to a defense contention that Alzheimer’s is a sentence of its own. “As awful as Alzheimer’s diseases, it’s not a criminal penalty,” Anderson said. “Alzheimer’s disease is not a get-outof-jail card.” Baca was ordered to turn himself in July 25 to begin serving his sentence. As he walked out of the courthouse Friday morning, Baca told reporters that it had been “an interesting day” and thanked his supporters for standing by him. “For 48 years, he served the people of Los Angeles with all his might, with all his heart,” his attorney, Nathan Hochman, said. “He gave it his all, all the time.” The lawman, who worked his way up from guarding inmates to running the nation’s largest jail system — and largest sheriff’s department — was convicted in March of obstructing justice, conspiring to obstruct justice and lying to federal authorities. Baca abruptly resigned in 2014 as the probe netted several underlings who plotted to hide an inmate informant from his FBI handler when they learned the jails were being investigated.
shows that of the nation’s 595 flood fatalities since 2011, 61 percent involved people in vehicles. In Missouri alone, five people motorists died in late April and early May after heavy rains caused rivers and creeks to suddenly surge. Many states use public service campaigns and electronic billboards to warn of the dangers of driving into water. Warning signs are often posted at crossings, and some have barriers or gates.
Astronauts ace 200th spacewalk CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — An equipment water leak shortened Friday’s spacewalk by two U.S. astronauts at the International Space Station, but they still managed to replace a faulty electronics box. Despite the initial trouble, it was a milestone moment as Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer floated outside on the station’s 200th spacewalk. The astronauts wasted no time removing the old electronics box, their No. 1 chore, and plugging in a new unit. The device — a bit unwieldy at more than 5 feet long — supplies electricity and data to science experiments on the outside of the station. The pair also whipped through other tasks, leaving only two undone. During earlier preparations, a small amount of water leaked from the connection point between an umbilical hose and Fischer’s suit. The hose is one of two that provide water, oxygen, power, cooling and communications for astronauts before they float outside. The leaky hose had to be disconnected before the spacewalk could begin. The astronauts ended up sharing Whitson’s hose while they waited, which reduced their suit battery power. As a result, Mission Control cut the spacewalk from the intended 6 ½ hours to four hours even before it began.

Coroner reopens case of bullied boy CINCINNATI — A coroner has reopened an investigation into an 8-year-old boy’s suicide, and his school district said Friday that it expects to release surveillance video that shows a bully knocking him unconscious two days before he killed himself. A Hamilton County coroner’s office spokesman said new evidence has prompted the reopening of the suicide investigation of Gabriel Taye, who hanged himself in his bedroom with a necktie on Jan. 26. Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco told Cincinnati radio station WLW on Thursday that she asked police for a full investigation to determine whether there are contributing factors to Gabriel’s suicide, WXIXTV reported. “It was very hard for me to believe that an 8-year-old would even know what it means to commit suicide,” Sammarco told WLW. Cincinnati police said in a statement that they would have no further comment about the case, and they directed question to the coroner’s office. The coroner’s spokesman said Friday that Sammarco wasn’t available to discuss the investigation being reopened.
Calf born at ranch has 2 extra limbs BEULAH, N.D. — A calf born seemingly healthy at a North Dakota ranch has an extra set of limbs hanging off its neck. State Veterinarian Susan Keller tells The Bismarck Tribune that the calf could’ve been born with one of two disorders, polydactyly or polymelia. With polymelia the extra limbs are often smaller or shrunken. Polydactyly is the result of genetic combinations involving recessive genes. Keller says this type of defect is an “important topic that producers should not be afraid to report to their veterinarian and to all breed associations.”

Payday lender forced to close, fine ordered JACKSON — Mississippi officials are forcing one of the state’s largest payday lenders to close, imposing fines of more than $1.5 million. The Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance issued the order Thursday, revoking 75 licenses held by All American and ordering an immediate stop to new loans. The company must pay fines of $1.58 million and refunds to at least 700 customers. Federal and state regulators announced in 2014 that All American Check Cashing was illegally encouraging customers to pay only interest on car title and payday loans, accusing it of breaking Mississippi law. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is suing All American in federal court, seeking to force repayment to more customers. All American has strenuously disputed the enforcement actions, even filing a state ethics complaint against a banking regulator.
Inmate stabbed multiple times MERIDIAN — Authorities say an inmate has been stabbed at an east Mississippi prison. The Meridian Star reports that the stabbing happened Thursday at the East Mississippi Correctional Facility near Meridian. Lauderdale County Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun says the inmate suffered multiple stab wounds. He described the injuries as not lifethreatening. Calhoun says the inmate was taken to a local emergency department. The newspaper reports that charges against an attacker, if identified, would be presented to a grand jury.
Robbery suspect sought in Natchez NATCHEZ — Authorities are searching for multiple suspects in connection with an alleged armed robbery in Natchez. The Natchez Democrat reports that Adams County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Maj. Jerry Brown says the victim was playing dice with a few people on Tuesday night when four to five men wearing ski masks pointed guns at the victims.
Brown says the suspects reportedly took a pistol and $140 in cash. He says the victim later went to a nearby store to report the crime.
Bryant seeks federal tornado assistance JACKSON — Residents of Holmes and Montgomery counties could get federal help following April 30 tornadoes, if Gov. Phil Bryant gets his way. Bryant has officially asked that President Donald Trump declare a disaster. The Republican governor also asks Trump to approve assistance to governments and nonprofit utilities in Adams, Calhoun, Carroll, Claiborne, Holmes, Jefferson, Montgomery, Webster and Yazoo counties. That could pay to repair government property, remove debris, and cover emergency worker overtime. Other counties could be added later if Trump approves. The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency says 112 homes without insurance were destroyed or severely damaged in Holmes and Montgomery counties. MEMA and federal officials have been conducting joint assessments. The National Weather Service counted 29 tornadoes in Mississippi, the fourth-largest outbreak on record. One man died in Durant.
Ex-employee gets education contract JACKSON — A former high-ranking employee at the Mississippi Department of Education has received a $48,000 contract to do two months of consulting work for the agency. The department awarded the contract to J.P. Beaudoin effective May 5, The Clarion-Ledger reported. He was the department’s research chief from August 2015 until last October, with an annual salary of $158,000. He is now the CEO of Research In Action, an education consulting company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The contract was first reported Wednesday by Mississippi Today. Department of Education documents show Research In Action will produce some annual reports that are required by federal law. Because the total amount of the contract is below $50,000, it did not require approval by the state Board of Education.
When he worked at the Department of Education, Beaudoin supervised six offices, including student assessment, accreditation and educator licensure. He was helped develop state testing standards. Regulations from the state Personal Service Contract Review board say that for a year after leaving a state government job, it is a breach of ethical standards for a former employee to have a state contract “in matters which were within the former employee’s official responsibility.”
Full-court hearing urged in murder JACKSON — Mississippi is pushing for a full appeals court hearing after a three-judge panel ruled a woman convicted of a grisly double murder deserves a new trial because of racial discrimination in her jury selection. In filings late Wednesday, the state asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans for a hearing in front of the full court after a panel ruled 2-1 in March that Lisa Jo Chamberlin was entitled to a new trial. She was convicted and sentenced to death in two 2004 killings the appeals court described as gruesome “even by the standards of capital cases.” The appeals court ruled there was evidence of discrimination; the state disagrees. Chamberlin, who is white, challenged the exclusion of two black jurors.
Slow economic growth picks up JACKSON — Economic growth accelerated in Mississippi in 2016, but still trails the national average. Gross domestic product numbers released Thursday by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis measure all the economic output of each state. Mississippi’s economy grew 0.8 percent in 2016, compared to a 0.3 percent increase in 2015. Growth was led by retail trade and agriculture. The mining and construction sectors shrank. Nationwide, economic output rose 1.5 percent during 2016. Mississippi, with a $108 billionplus economy, grew 37th fastest among states. State economist Darrin Webb had predicted 2016 growth of 2.4 percent. Mississippi’s economy remains smaller than in 2008.

Snapchat’s growth stalls in Facebook’s shadow Associated Press
NEW YORK — Facebook has been bent on copying Snapchat ever since the social media giant tried unsuccessfully in 2013 to buy what was then an ephemeral photomessaging app. Now, the company behind Snapchat is hoping to copy some of its larger rival’s own practices, at least with respect to courting new users — and, with them, advertisers. It’s not going so well. On Wednesday, Snap Inc. announced a massive loss and a continued slowdown in user growth, while revenue fell below Wall Street’s expectations in its first earnings report as a public company. Just a week earlier, Facebook posted double-digit revenue growth for the first quarter — much as it has consistently since its initial public offering in 2012. Snapchat reported 166 million daily active users in the latest quarter, an increase of just 36 percent from a year earlier. In its first post-IPO report in 2012, Facebook also disappointed investors when its daily user base grew by only 32 percent. But at that point, Facebook had 552 million regular users, more than three times as many as Snapchat.
feature, which lets users post short video clips that disappear after 24 hours. Not to miss out on the trend, Facebook also launched disappearing stories this year. And let’s not forget about WhatsApp, the Facebook-owned messaging service that came out with “status,” which lets people post photos and videos that disappear after 24 hours.
All about messaging Matt Britton, CEO of social media marketing company Crowdtap and an expert on millennials, believes Snapchat has “gotten ahead of itself” in pushing out new features, when what it does best — and what it’s most used for — is one-on-one messaging. “If you ask any teen how they use Snapchat, (most) say they use it to text people,” Britton said. He said he’s seen a lot of teens replace the telephone icon at the bottom of their phones’ most-used apps with the Snapchat app. Why call when you can snap, after all? Snapchat’s Stanforddropout CEO, Evan Spiegel, has long insisted that his company is not
a social network but a “camera company.” Unlike Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, Snapchat isn’t connecting networks of people. You could use it with just one other person, if you wanted.
To buy or copy? As Facebook keeps copying Snapchat, what can Snapchat do to stay ahead? “They need to acquire
the next Snapchat — companies that are doing one thing right,” Britton said. This could be an app such as Houseparty, a group video chat app that’s popular with teens, or Musical.ly, a video social network that lets people create and share short music videos. Of course, Facebook presumably won’t be far behind in copying that, either.

Where the money went Almost $2 billion of Snap’s $2.2 billion loss in the January-March period involved stock compensation costs related to the company’s initial offering. Facebook had similar costs of roughly $1.3 billion. But Facebook’s revenue was $1.18 billion in its first quarter as a public company. Although Snap’s revenue nearly quadrupled in the latest quarter, it only rose to $150 million. And that still undershot the $158 million analysts polled by FactSet had expected. Snap’s stock fell $5.50, or 24 percent, to $17.48 in after-hours trading.

Mom’s long-distance advice isn’t what teen wants to hear DEAR ABBY: I am 17 and dating a 16-year-old girl. My mother lives a few states away. Every time we talk she tells me to spend less time with my girlfriend. It always seems like Abigail she’s trying Van Buren to break us up. Dear Abby Please give me advice. I want her to want me to be in the relationship I’m in and to let me stay with her. — TEEN IN LOVE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR TEEN: Regardless of what you may think about what your mother is telling you, she is not the “enemy.” She may be worried that the more time you spend with your girlfriend, the less you will have to devote to your studies, sports, friends, etc. — all of which are important at your age. The two of you need to talk further about this, so there are no misunderstandings or hurt feelings. P.S. Because your mother lives out of state, I assume you are living with your father or some other relative/guardian. It
might be enlightening to know what the other adults in your life think about the amount of time you’re spending with your girlfriend. Perhaps you should ask them. DEAR ABBY: I am struggling to adapt to our accelerating technological world. When I remove myself from the rapid information cycle of the internet and social media, I feel the world is passing me by. I have tried to find a balance, but the ubiquity of technology and our cultural reliance on the internet leave me feeling like I have only two options at any given time -- connection or disconnection -- and neither one feels entirely healthy to me. This isn’t the first case of technological advancement leading to rapid cultural change and a sense of dislocation, but at the current rate, it may be the most extreme. This is to say nothing of the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in our lives. Do you have any advice for maintaining one’s humanity while remaining culturally relevant in our increasingly technology-dependent world? — FLOATING IN THE DIGITAL AGE DEAR FLOATING: Just this:
Try harder to find a balance, because if you are constantly online, you will be swamped. Sometimes we must disconnect and enjoy the “real world” without the constant interruption of the latest news cycle. Trust me. You won’t miss much because the information will find its way to you. DEAR ABBY: What is the proper way to handle the situation when you catch the host of a party double- or tripledipping into a bowl? — ICK! IN LARGO, FLA. DEAR ICK: That’s easy. Refrain from consuming anything from that bowl. DEAR READERS: Happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere. This includes birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers who are raising grandchildren, and dual-role dads. Orchids to all of you for the love you give every day. — Love, ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re looking for something, but you don’t know what it is exactly. It’s an answer to a feeling -- an echo to the call of your heart. Stay open. You might be surprised by the form of this solution. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Gathering a few opinions is better than going blind into the situation. As long as you’re doing this, do it right. Search the top people for the brightest insights. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are too many choices. You can’t take it all in. You’re excellent at scanning and selecting. Trust your instincts. Your quick decisiveness will be your success key today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re in the mood to try new things, talk to different people, watch, listen and record your findings. From these wide and seemingly disparate bits of life, you will cull your next great idea. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Great photographers know that you have to be positioned well to get the interesting angle. Much will depend on where you’re standing. Put yourself in a position for the prime view. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you don’t know what to ask of the situation, start wide. “Have I been curious enough about what’s going on?” This general line of self-prompting is enough to spur you in a helpful direction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Real behavior is different from theoretical behavior. People may see themselves as being great at demonstrating love or health or work ethic. Reports will be far less reliable than actual results. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be planning a few weeks into the future to make sure that there’s a lot of fun ahead of you and only as much tedium and trepidation as is absolutely necessary. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). A real friend lets you talk a little nonsense and respects you anyway. You’re this kind of friend, and you afford this luxury to your nearest and dearest, although you may wonder today where exactly to draw the line. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A grateful heart brings health and joy for the entire being, but it would be a shame to stop there. “Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.” -Gladys Bronwyn Stern AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The complexities will confound you if you let them. Instead, try to focus on one thing and one thing only: kindness. By doing the kind thing, you’ll also be doing the very best thing. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What feels normal to you is totally foreign to another. Keeping this in mind, you’ll go out of your way to make sure that the others feel included and comfortable and that the lines of communication are open.

Baseball Note It was mentioned in Saturday’s Corinth’s Friday night game recap that the Warriors 29 wins this season could be a new school record. According to the official Mississippi high school baseball record book, CHS won 37 games in both 1985 and 1989 under retired coach John Smillie. However, those wins came when there were no restrictions on how many games a team can play. Those Corinth teams played over 50 games a year. Current rules stipulate that no high school team can play more than 43 games in a season — including the playoffs thru the championship series. Under the former limitless schedule, Alcorn Central won 36 games in 1988.

Kossuth senior Zack Stacy pitched one of the best games of his career Saturday afternoon as the Aggies made a single first inning run stand up en route to a 1-0 Game 2 victory over Mooreville at Aggie Field. The decisive Game 3 matchup will start at 3 p.m. today at Mooreville with the winner moving on to the 3A state championship round that begins Tuesday in Pearl.

Kossuth clips Mooreville, nears Pearl BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
Kossuth rode the right arm of senior Zack Stacy to a 1-0 victory over Mooreville at Aggie Field Saturday while also moving one game away from their sixth consecutive appearance in the MHSAA 3A state championship series. “That was a big-time effort by Zack today,” said Kossuth head coach Josh Dowdy. “He has been involved in a lot of these games over his career, and he was simply lights out today. “If there’s a college coach out there looking for a solid pitcher with a lot of heart,
they better latch onto him (Stacy),” Dowdy continued. “He came up to me and the other coaches after Nik (Wilcher) scored our only run in the first inning and told us that’s all he’d need.” Things got a little sticky for the Aggies in the top of the fourth inning when the Troopers loaded the bases with one out following a misplayed ball at third base that allowed everyone to reach safely. Dowdy called a meeting on the mound and assured his pitcher that he could get out of the situation by just settling down and making his pitches. Stacy calmly toed the rub-
ber and mowed down the next two batters on strikes in order to end the threat and allow Kossuth to hold on to the narrow lead. “I got scared there for a few minutes when that happened, but I called everyone together and told them just to settle down and for Zack to make the pitches he had been making and we’d be alright,” Dowdy said. And that’s what happened. “After they came back into the dugout from being in that position, I said, ‘See — I told you what would happen if you settled down and played the way you normally do,’” he mentioned. “This series
is like a heavyweight boxing match. We knew they were gonna throw some punches and hit us in the mouth but it’s up to us to respond to those punches and answer them back. “And that’s what we did tonight.” Kossuth produced their run in the home half of the first inning after Wilcher led off with a single to centerfield. Beau Lee went down on strikes before Charlie Bonee singled to center to put runners on first and third with one out. Stacy hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Wilcher Please see KOSSUTH | 11A

Ole Miss wins first-ever SEC tournament title Ole Miss Sports Information
Ole Miss claimed its firstever SEC Tournament Championship Saturday night in Knoxville, Tennessee, beating LSU, 5-1, in the title game. It is the high-water mark for a softball program that just three years ago finished with a 3-21 conference record. But that was before the arrival of head coach Mike Smith, who has orchestrated a blitzkrieg turnaround of the program’s fortunes. The Rebels reached the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time in the program’s history and are shoe-ins for this year’s NCAA field. In fact, the work they’ve done in Knoxville this week has probably positioned the Rebels to host a regional next week. “It’s unbelievable what this team has just done,” said Smith. “From where we came from three years ago in this program ... we just won the SEC Tournament Champion-
ship. It’s unbelievable right now. I’m so proud of these girls. I’m so proud of my staff. I’m so proud of the administration for giving me an opportunity to come to Ole Miss. I’m humbled. I just told (athletics director) Ross (Bjork), ‘Ross, thank you for trusting me. Thank you for trusting me in this job.’ “Three years ago when I came here, I had a goal. That goal was to be relevant in the SEC. We just won the SEC championship. It’s unbelievable. I want to go to Disneyland and Disney World. I’ve always wanted to say that.” Saturday night, it was once again junior pitcher Kaitlin Lee stepping up and into the moment. Lee (20-10) throttled LSU, as she did every opponent the Rebels faced in the tournament. She allowed just one run on five hits while striking out two. It was her second complete game of the day, as she went the distance
Saturday morning in a semifinal battle with Alabama. For the tournament, Lee worked 28 total innings, allowing just three runs. She became the first pitcher since 2010 to lead her team to the SEC title by pitching every inning at the tournament. “It was my shot to kind of shock the world. It was our shot to shock the world, and I think we did that,” said Lee. “This team is full of firsts and I don’t think we’re done yet. We’re going to keep on keeping on. It’s just awesome. “... It’s so easy to be doubtful when you’re an underdog. I think for now we’ve beat all the big shots, so what is there to lose now?” Ole Miss improved to 40-18 on the season and must wait until 9 p.m. tonight to learn its NCAA Tournament fate. While guaranteed to be in the field, the Rebels have worked themselves onto the bubble as a potential regional host. To-
night’s selection show will be televised on ESPN2. The Rebels scored all they would need Saturday night in a four-run second inning. Left fielder Elantra Cox ripped a two-run double to left field scoring Paige McKinney and Bry Castro, and Kylan Becker delivered a 2-run single that plated Cox and Dakota Matiko. LSU scored its only run in the bottom of the fourth when Bailey Landry scored on a ground out to second off the bat of Constance Quin. The Rebels added an insurance run in the top of the seventh when Becker came around to score on an error by the LSU shortstop. Cox, Becker and Lampton finished with three hits apiece for the Rebels, who out-hit LSU 12-5. Ole Miss defeated Mississippi State, Florida, Alabama and LSU in a row to win the SEC title.

KOSSUTH CONTINUED FROM 10A
before Austin Higgs struck out to end the inning. Little did anyone know at the time that would be the only scoring they would see all evening long. Mooreville’s Trace Henry singled with two out in the third and stole second before a groundout ended that threat. Then came the basesloaded situation in the fourth where the Troopers blew a golden opportunity to score at least one run. That could have changed the course of the game altogether, but Stacy wasn’t gonna let that happen in his ballpark. The Aggies had a golden opportunity to create some breathing room in the bottom of the sixth when Bonee plowed a Will Armistead curve ball down the left field line and over the wall — just foul. That would have scored Wilcher and Lee ahead of him and it would have been 4-0 Kossuth. Bonee ended up flying out to left after which Stacy followed suit to end the inning and the Aggie threat. Asked how his team won after committing four errors and scoring only one run Dowdy simply said “heart — lots of heart. “These guys have no quit in them and they live for games like this,” said Dowdy. “And people may not realize this, but we lost seven starters off
last year’s championship team. A lot of these guys who are starting now have watched from the dugout before and have seen what it takes to be a winner. But this is the first time for a lot of them on a stage this big. This is big-time and these are two really good teams going at each other. “I told (Mooreville) coach Derek (Thompson) that it was a shame either one of these pitchers or teams had to lose. They throw a young man today who is a sophomore who is gonna be special. But I’ll also say I couldn’t be prouder of Zack. If some college picks him up they’re gonna get a steal and a good one.” Before Kossuth could celebrate a Game 2, series-tying win they had to hold off the Mooreville bats one more time in the seventh. Stacy struck out Armistead, got Hunter Brannigan to ground out and ended the game himself by fielding a soft tapper back to the mound by Henry and tossing to Lee at first and the celebration was on. The Kossuth and Mooreville fans were both tremendous, but the Aggie clan was pumped up from pitch one and were extremely vocal the entire game. Both fan bases will need to be on hand to support their team today at 3 p.m. at Trooper Field in the decisive Ggame 3. Winner moves on to Pearl — loser goes home for the summer.

Rebels athletes earn degrees Saturday OXFORD — On Saturday, Ole Miss student athletes earned the ultimate prize as they were among members of the Ole Miss Class of 2017. Seventy-eight current and former student-athletes walk across the stage to earn their degrees. In Ole Miss athletics department tradition, student-athletes along with their families, friends, coaches and athletics department staff gathered for a special breakfast at The Pavilion at Ole Miss before heading to The Grove for the morning convocation followed by individual school ceremonies. During the morning breakfast Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics, Ross Bjork, congratulated the students on their achievements and reminded them that they always had a home at Ole Miss, as they are forever Rebels. The Ole Miss soccer team, which earned the Chancellors Cup for the second consecutive season,
had six players walk across the stage on Saturday. Taylor medalist Danielle Gray was included in that group as was 2016-17 Who’s Who selection Addie Forbus. Football had 27 graduates, including 11 players who earned their degrees in December, graduate on Saturday, including recent NFL draft picks, Chad Kelly and Derrick Jones. Between the men’s and women’s basketball programs there were six graduates including Rebel big man Sebastian Saiz, who concluded his career as just the seventh player in SEC history to score 1,0000 points and block 100 shots. He leaves Ole Miss as the No. 2 rebounder and fifth in blocked shots and double-doubles. On the women’s side a trio walked across the stage, highlighted by Oxford native, Erika Sisk, who eclipsed the 1,000-point mark this season and earned her degree in December. The softball squad is en-
joying a stellar 2017 campaign, with the programs first-ever series win over Alabama, a win over the No. 1 team in the country in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals and a programbest No. 18 ranking. The diamond Rebels had four players graduate while the baseball team was represented by Colby Bortles. Ole Miss H. Boyd McWhorter award nominee, NCAA postgraduate scholarship recipient and 2017 Taylor Medalist Aubrey Edie from the Ole Miss volleyball team also earned her degree on Saturday. Edie is Ole Miss’ career assists leader and a twotime CoSIDA Academic All-America honoree. The Ole Miss track and field team, who, is competing at the SEC Track and Field Championship in Columbia, South Carolina this weekend will see 20 members graduate including H. Boyd McWhorter nominee, Craig Engels. Maria Tonnessen from the Ole Miss women’s golf
team, two-time All-American Alison Weisz from rifle and Zalina Khairudinova from women’s tennis also graduated on Saturday. The Rebels also had several former players come back and earn degrees. Ole Miss football players who graduated on Saturday included Andre Rone and Antonio Sanders. Baseball also had Josh Laxer and Jeremy Zick come back and graduate. A special ceremony for those student-athletes who were competing for the Rebels during Saturday’s commencement will be held Monday at 4 p.m. at the team meeting room in the Manning Center. It will include members of the women’s tennis team, track and field teams, softball and football. Additionally, the men’s golf team will have a special ceremony Friday at 11 a.m. at the Lyceum for Noah West and Ben Wolcott. The men’s golf team opens NCAA Regional action in Austin, Texas on Monday.
Cavaliers practicing patience during layoff The Associated Press
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Kyrie Irving misses the sounds, the sights, the stress of the NBA playoffs. The All-Star point guard isn’t the only one. “We’re itching to play,” Irving said. The Cavaliers are still waiting. With Washington and Boston headed to a Game 7 on Monday, Cleveland’s break since sweeping Toronto in the second round just grew a little longer. By the time the Cavaliers take the floor for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals next Wednesday, it will have been nine days between games — the longest layoff since LeBron James took them to the postseason back in 2006. For Irving and his teammates, the break has grown
boring and somewhat burdensome, testing their patience and willpower. Coach Tyronn Lue has resisted the temptation to let his players scrimmage 5 on 5, instead limiting their workouts to glorified walkthroughs. Irving said the unbeaten-in-the-postseason Cavs are ready to run. “We’re not necessarily shooting the ball, we’re just running through plays, some guys get a little bit antsy and mad and they want to go to the basket and finish plays,” he said. “Just get everything firing again because you miss the contact, you miss getting hit and being able to be there for your teammate and get hype and go in transition. Just the little nuances that make this game so beautiful and
competitive and you love it. “When you’re not playing it, as of right now, you try to do anything to keep you sharp.” Lue has been doing everything he can to keep his players focused and energized during the long layoff. On Saturday, the team worked on some defensive rotations in preparation for either the Wizards or Celtics, both of whom have star guards and high-scoring backcourts. “You got to keep them engaged and show them new things,” Lue said. “I’ve got to trick them at times, but they’ve been pretty locked in and we’ve just got to continue to do what we do. It is what it is, and we just got to continue to work on what we need to get better at and then who-
ever we play we just got to be ready.” Lue’s decision not to scrimmage was initially met with some resistance, but the players now understand his logic better after backup center Walter “Edy” Tavares broke his right hand during an organized pickup game between Cleveland’s reserves before Thursday’s practice. Irving said seeing Tavares go down was a quick reminder that it’s better to be safe than sorry while waiting for the next round. “I understand how important it is,” Irving said. “I was about to come out and play 5 on 5 and the incident (Tavares getting hurt) happened three seconds later as T-Lue comes out of the door. Nah, I’m not for scrimmaging right now until the game.”

Titans coach Mike Mularkey the Titans have been looking for since their first draft in Tennessee in 1998. That year they passed up Randy Moss for Kevin Dyson, who scored on the Music City Miracle that helped propel the Titans to the 2000 Super Bowl where Dyson was a yard shy of the end zone in a loss to the Rams. Kenny Britt was the 30th pick overall in 2009 followed by Kendall Wright in 2012 at No. 20. The Titans have drafted physically gifted phenoms in the second round like Tyrone Calico in 2003 and Justin Hunter at No. 34 overall in 2013. Dorial Green-Beckham, 40th overall in 2015, lasted one season before being traded away. They do have Rishard Matthews back leading the receiving corps after he led the team with 65 catches, and Tajae Sharpe started 10 games as a rookie with 41 catches for 522 yards . But the Titans are enamored with the 6-foot-3 Davis, size that Mularkey said surprised Mariota when the quarterback met his newest receiver Friday. Davis said he looks forward to working with Mariota, who Mularkey said is jogging right now but not at full speed. To help Mariota and Davis start building timing and chemistry, Mularkey said he’s looking at mixing in more 7-on-7 drills and other drills this oseason to assist with that. Mariota turned in the franchise’s third-highest

passer rating in his second season at 95.6, and he also threw for 3,426 yards and 26 touchdowns with nine interceptions. Yet the Titans ranked 25th in the NFL averaging 221.3 yards passing. Watching practice isn’t easy for Davis who’s focusing on learning the playbook. He insists he could go right now and stays busy catching balls o the Jugs machine with extra time watching film with wide receivers coach Frisman Jackson. “I’m just not doing everything full speed,â€? Davis said. Davis isn’t the only rookie the Titans grabbed in the draft that has a shot to contribute. They took Taywan Taylor of Western Kentucky in the third round, and Mularkey has the 5-11, 203-pound Taylor learning how to play both outside and in the slot. Mularkey said Taylor struggled a bit with nerves catching balls during the walk-through and improved in the afternoon. “I don’t see a lot of problems with his learning,â€? Mularkey said. “I think he’s done a great job of picking both spots up.â€? Injury: Running back Brandon Burks from Troy was carted o the field after catching his foot and hurting his left knee. He was among 27 players the Titans had in the minicamp on try-outs. ... Mularkey said the rookies will mix in with the veterans Monday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans are proceeding with caution when it comes to wide receiver Corey Davis at their rookie minicamp. They want to make sure the fifth overall pick’s surgically repaired ankle is completely healed. With quarterback Marcus Mariota also recovering from surgery to fix a broken right leg, the Titans are taking no chances with the players expected to lead the passing game. “He’s itching,� Titans coach Mike Mularkey said of Davis. “He wants to play, and I know he does. It’s hard for me to hold him back, but that’s the way it is.� Mularkey said Davis did most of the individual work and a lot of the walkthrough Friday morning on the first day of a threeday rookie minicamp. The Titans limited the wide receiver from Western Michigan to individual drills in the afternoon practice with players wearing helmets. “He’s a good looking athlete,� Mularkey said. “We’re monitoring what we’re doing with him right now. We’re still making sure that he’s recovering from his surgery. He’s on schedule, so this was all our plan. He’s itching to play and practice. We’re going to be smart with him.� The surgery to repair torn ligaments didn’t hurt Davis’ draft stock as Tennessee made him the first wide receiver drafted this year. He has plenty of proven production as the all-time leading receiver in Football Bowl Subdivision history with 5,285 yards. A true No. 1 receiver that lasts for more than a season or two is something

Disneyland was born on paper over a weekend BY SANDY COHEN AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES — Tomorrowland was originally going to be called World of Tomorrow. Frontierland was Frontier Country. Lilliputian Land never became a reality at Disneyland. And no one could have foreseen a “Star Wars” land opening in 2019. Walt Disney spent a marathon weekend in 1953 brainstorming ideas for the new family amusement park he envisioned called Disneyland. There would be a train station and an oldfashioned Main Street square. The park would have a princess castle and a pirate ship, maybe even a rocket. Disney wanted to get investors on board, so he described the various elements he imagined to artist Herb Ryman, who translated them into a hand-drawn map — Disneyland’s first.
That original concept art could fetch as much as $1 million when it goes up for auction next month, auctioneer Mike Van Eaton said. Collector Ron Clark knew the map was special when he acquired it 40 years ago from a former Disney employee who’d been friends with Walt Disney. Clark says he felt a “spirit of presence” as soon as he saw the 3 ½-foot by 5½ -foot ink and pencil drawing on paper affixed to a tri-fold poster board like a science fair display. “It had this aura,” he recalled. “It just kind of puts you in awe that this is the piece that came out of Walt Disney’s mind and this is what came about: this park, these parks worldwide, the passion people have for it today and the happiness of hundreds of millions who have graced these lands.” Clark started collecting Disney items in the
1960s. He saw a small silver spoon in a Disneyland souvenir shop and plunked down $10 for it. When he later saw that same spoon show up as a collectors’ item in a Disney fan magazine, he was hooked. “I have an affection for the man and what he created. It’s just brought us and our family such joy,” said Clark, who still holds an annual pass to Disneyland and makes it out to Southern California from Utah at least three times a year to visit the park. “All 20 of our grandbabies are Disney-fied,” he said. Clark’s collection focuses on the dawn of Disney. The earliest piece is an Ingersoll watch from 1928 and the most spectacular is the map. But with his 70th birthday approaching, Clark wanted to see about finding a more permanent home for his prized piece
Rascal Flatts look to young songwriters for next big hits BY KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Early on in their career, the country group Rascal Flatts often dealt with critics of their popcountry sound and being labeled a country music boy band. Bassist and producer Jay DeMarcus noted that one early review referred to their music as “bouncy, bouncy, flop.” Seventeen years later with the release of their 10th studio album, “Back to Us,” the trio of DeMarcus, Gary LeVox and Joe Don Rooney say they’ve adapted their material to fit their lives. “As husbands and fathers and everything, you have to write appropriate material and find appropriate material for where
you are,” said DeMarcus. “And not cutting as many songs about kicking at the club with the fellas,” LeVox joked. “One song is called ‘In Bed By 7.” Still the group that has had several platinum records and No. 1 hits relies on young songwriters and artists to keep their music sounding fresh. Grammy-winning pop singer Meghan Trainor’s earliest success as a songwriter came when she contributed to two songs on Rascal Flatts’ 2014 album, including the single “I Like the Sound of That.” “Back to Us,” out May 19, has songs co-written by Shay Mooney of the rising duo Dan + Shay, a duet with 22-year-old “American Idol” alum
Lauren Alaina and a song written by powerhouse performer Chris Stapleton. “I think it’s important for all of us to help a younger generation of country music artists come along,” said DeMarcus. “And I think the more they have success, the more success there is for all of us. It’s really synergistic from that standpoint.” But he joked that the band’s relationship with Dan + Shay was more like an internship than a mentorship. “We made an agreement with Shay early on right when they got signed, if they were going to steal our sound, we had to get first pick of the songs he was writing,” DeMarcus said.
Brown returns to country roots Associated Press
NEW YORK — If there’s any doubt about the style of music Zac Brown has made on his band’s new album, just look at the title. The burly, bearded country star named the album “Welcome Home” and the 10 tracks on it are as down-home country as a trusty pickup truck, a cold beer and pair of comfortable jeans. “This one was very personal and very much rooted to my life. That’s why it’s back down to the roots,” said Brown, who will release the album Friday. “I created this record to get back to the beginning of what inspired me as a songwriter.” The album’s direction will come as a relief to some Zac Brown Band fans bewildered by the singer’s recent dabbling in everything from grunge to electronica, a sonic wanderlust that included the birth of a side electronic project called Sir Rosevelt. “People will have a really hard time hating on this record,” said Brown. “I don’t know what our next project will be, but I think this is the sweet spot for this band.” The release of the album coincides with a U.S. tour that kicked off Friday in Georgia, the band’s home state. “Welcome Home” comes two years after the band’s chart-topping “Jekyll + Hyde,” which included a swing tune with Sara Bareilles and the head-banging anthem with Chris Cornell “Heavy Is the Head,” which marked the band’s
first appearance of the Billboard mainstream rock airplay chart. The genre-bending nature of the album had its detractors, with many critics saying that, while gutsy, it suffered from an identity crisis. Brown isn’t apologetic, saying country fans had at least eight songs on it in their comfort zone. “For some people it was offensive because of the range. But that’s OK. Certain people, they’re going to be critical of anything that you do — and that’s OK. “I don’t want to do what other people expect,” he added. “I want to make music that I feel moved to create and I want to create the music that’s what I like to listen to. If I follow that, I’ll always be happy with what I’m making.” Other country acts have tested their fans’ loyalty include the pop-leaning Taylor Swift, the politicalminded Dixie Chicks, and Garth Brooks, whose rock star Chris Gaines alter ego crashed and burned. But Brown bristles at being stuck in a musical box. “You make vanilla ice cream. They want vanilla ice cream: ‘What are these marshmallows and chocolate doing in here?’ What is this ‘Rocky Road’?’ What is that? That’s not vanilla ice cream!’” he said. “But I don’t feel like that’s the majority.” Don Cusic, a professor of music industry history at Belmont University, said country music fans demand loyalty and are unforgiving if acts step
out of line. He said Brown can repair any damage — but must tread carefully. “In some ways, it’s a very jealous audience. The pop world is a much more fickle audience but the country audience is more loyal and more jealous. They want you to be ‘one of us,’” said Cusic. For the new album, Brown and co-writers Niko Moon and Ben Simonetti went back to basics, both literally and musically. Brown channeled his music heroes like James Taylor, Jim Croce, Dan Fogelberg and Gordon Lightfoot. A trip to rural Alaska proved inspirational, with the songwriters working on songs while in front of a fire, sitting on a cliff and drinking beer. “I’ve got images in my head from that that I’ll never forget,” he said. Back on the mainland, the album was recorded in six days, with some songs needing only a single take. One of those tunes was the Top 10 country hit “My Old Man,” a beautiful, spare song destined to make fathers tear up. The lyrics include the lines: “My old man/I hope he’s proud of who I am/I’m trying to fill the boots of my old man.” Brown said it managed to make his own dad cry when he played it for him. “It got him. You know, I’ve been trying to write a song that’s worthy to play for him. I’ve tried a bunch of ‘dad songs’ over time and finally got down to the core of it,” said 38-year-old Brown, who is a father of five children, a son among them.
of memorabilia. “It was always my desire to somehow return it to Disney,” he said. “I wanted it to go home. For 40 years, that has been my wish.” Disneyland spokesman John McClintock wouldn’t say if park officials will be among the bidders when the map goes up for auction June 25. He was familiar with the piece, though, calling it “a very speculative drawing.” “It was drawn to make people think this is going to be a great park,” he said. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts still produce concept art for new park features. The company released a full-color image last year of the proposed “Star Wars” land, complete with an X-wing fighter flying overhead. The 14-acre “Star Wars” expansion represents the biggest ever at Disneyland, McClintock
said, though the park has been evolving almost since it opened in 1955. The Matterhorn Bobsleds and the Monorail were added in 1959. The Enchanted Tiki Room opened in 1963. The Small World ride came in 1966, followed by Pirates of the Caribbean in 1967. The official Disneyland Hotel opened in 1988. A whole new park, Disney California Adventure, and accompanying Grand Californian Hotel were added in 2001. None of those elements were part of Ryman’s 1953 sketch. It’s hard to compare concepts from that original map with what actually exists in the park today, McClintock said. “It predates any work on Disneyland and it doesn’t really resemble Disneyland, so you can’t really use that as a template for how the park developed,” he said, noting that the famous Sleeping Beauty Castle

Crossword
that sits in the center of the park is shown much further back in the concept sketch. Other elements though, including the train station and Main Street square, look the same on the map as they do at the park in Anaheim, California. “The story behind the art is that it was all done in a weekend,” McClintock said. “It’s amazing that they got as much right as they did.” For the auctioneer, whose Van Eaton Galleries are full of Disney animation cells, old park souvenirs and even the googly-eyed sea monster from the now-shuttered Submarine Voyage ride, the pre-Disneyland map is “the ultimate.” After spending the past four decades locked away in a vault, the map will be on view for the public at the gallery in the weeks leading up to the auction. “There’s never been anything like it,” said Van Eaton.
