Program helps employers with hiring BY BRANT SAPPINGTON bsappington@dailycorinthian.com
Helping employers match applicants to jobs that are right for them is at the heart of a unique program offered by the Northeast Mississippi Community College Division of Workforce
Training and Economic Development. Job PASS (Physical Assessment Skills Simulation) is a comprehensive screening tool for employers to help them determine how a potential employee’s strengths and abili-
ties fit with the position they’re seeking to fill. “What we want to do is give the employer a way to match the right people to the right job,” explained Greg James with the division. The assessment is typically
used early in the hiring process to give those making hiring decisions a concrete, objective look at a potential candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, explained James. Often employers will have candidates take the test as soon as they apply
and use the results as an initial screening tool to filter for applicants who have the ability to perform the required tasks. James said Job PASS is valuable to employers because Please see JOBS | 6A
‘Baby Jane Doe’ turns 18 Corinth police Adoptive mother shares success story BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
A desperate decision made under the guise of night lead one Corinth woman to her greatest joy. Eighteen years ago, she became the reluctant mother of an abandoned newborn and has never since regretted the decision. “Baby Jane Doe” is now a high school graduate and is about to enter college. This is their story. An Alcorn 911 dispatcher received a shocking phone call at 4:25 a.m. on July 11, 1996. The female caller informed the dispatcher a baby was in need of medical assistance at Dr. Patrick Hsu’s office. The anonymous caller was not believed to be the infant’s mother. The unidentified newborn later named “Baby Jane Doe” was discovered by Magnolia EMS workers on a warm summer night, wrapped in a large beach towel. A toddler t-shirt and an over-sized diaper hung loosely on her small frame. “She wasn’t fussy and appeared to be content, wiped down and well fed,” said Sara Gibbs, a registered nurse who was working in the nursery at Magnolia Regional Health Center when she was instructed by her house supervisor, Ma-

Friday’s Fourth of July Jacinto Festival gave the public the first chance to hear comments from all three Corinth police chief candidates. With current Police Chief David Lancaster planning to retire from the police department at the end of the year, the race for Chief of Police has so far proved to be a heated one. Candidates Fred Gooch, Ralph Dance and Ben Gann graced the stage at Jacinto to address the public on ways they can improve the city’s police department. Gooch, who currently serves as K-9 officer and juvenile officer, spoke for the first time in front of the historic Jacinto Courthouse. “I am not a politician. I am a police officer and police is what I want to do,” said Gooch. “One of the biggest problems I see right now is our lack of officers in the school system. The children are the future of this city and should be protected.” Gooch also believes citizens should know the police officers who serves the public. “If the citizens of Corinth know the police officers by name, it will improve the trust in the department and that is very important,” Gooch added. Current Detective Captain Ralph Dance shared with the crowd he has investigated over 500 cases, including murders and burglaries during his 24 years at the local police

BY ZACK STEEN For the hungry competitors on the Major League Eating circuit, it was all about downing Nathan’s Hot Dogs on the Fourth of July in New York City. One week later on July 12, those same competitors will be in Corinth vying for over $3,000 in cash prizes at the 3rd Annual World Slugburger Eating Championship. Corinth Main Street Director Taylor Coombs was invited to the MLE Nathan’s World Famous Hog Dog Eating Contest to watch the competition
and hand out info on the 27th Annual Slugburger Festival. “This has been the greatest experience. Nathan’s definitely knows how to put on a show,” said Coombs, via phone from the Big Apple on Saturday. “Sam Barclay, who will emcee our event and emceed the Nathan’s event, really showed us great hospitality.” Coombs made her way around New York City wearing her lime green Slugburger Festival tee shirt. “I had a ton of people asking about the Slugburger Festival,” the director said. “I was also able to talk to several news
media about next weekend’s Slugburger Eating Contest.” On Friday morning, Coombs attended the filming of NBC’s The Today Show where she held a handmade sign that said, “Slugburger Festival: Joey Chestnut’s next stop.” Known as “Jaws” on the competitive eating circuit, Chestnut packed away 61 hot dogs on Friday to capture his eighth consecutive Nathan’s title.

Engineering students honored by Northeast Four Northeast Mississippi Community College students were honored for their academic achievements in the area of engineering technology and occupational education during the tenth annual Honors Day Ceremony held at Northeast Mississippi Community College. Ryan Crowson of Booneville, Stanley Thornton of Falkner and Joshua Wood of Corinth were honored with the division’s Award of Excellence. Michael Otts of Saltillo was named the Engineering Technology and Occupational Education Division’s most outstanding student. Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Honors Day Ceremony was held in the Bonner Arnold Coliseum on Thursday, May 1 and was sponsored by the Iota Zeta chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, is the largest honor society in higher education with 1,285 chapters on college campuses
in all 50 of the United States, plus Canada, Germany, the Republic of Palau, Peru, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the British Virgin Islands, the United Arab Emirates and U.S. territorial possessions. Nearly 3 million students have been inducted since its founding in 1918, with approximately 131,000 students inducted annually. Phi Theta Kappa seeks to foster the development of leadership and service, to provide an intellectual climate for the exchange of ideas, and to encourage the establishment of scholarships for advanced education. Northeast’s Iota Zeta chapter has been recognized as a “Five Star” chapter for 12 straight years, the highest rating given any chapter, and has been recognized as an exemplary model.

I think it will come down to the wire again this year for those two.” Chestnutt and Stonie will be joined by eight other competitors on July 11 when the Slugburger Eating Championship gets underway at the C.A.R.E. Garden at 4 p.m. Other competitors include Juan “More Bite” Rodriguez from Las Vegas, Alex “Moose” Perez from Dallas, Texas, Steve and Dee Martin from Roopville, Ga., Ronnie “The Real American” Hartman from Ft. Stewart, Ga., Matthew Raible from Peoria, Ill., “Nasty” Nate Biller from McKinney, Texas and Chad Cole. Coombs, also known as “The Boss,” will join the professionals in the competition for her second year in a row. Coombs ate three and half pickle, mustard and onion dressed slugburg-
ers in the 2013 contest. “Joey gave me some coaching Friday night,” Coombs said. “He assured me he was going to tell me a secret that will help me eat at least five slugs during the contest.” Last year more than 1,000 people witnessed Stonie down 31 slugburgers – provided by Borroum’s Drug Store – in 10 minutes to win the event. “The whole competitive eating world is huge and fascinating,” said Coombs. “I’m so happy we are a part of the circuit and the first one after Nathan’s, which is like the Super Bowl of eating.” The director recommends those attending the Slugburger Eating Contest to arrival early. “The contest begins at 4 p.m., but folks should get there at least 30 minutes early for a good viewing spot,” she said. Admission is free. (For more information, contact Coombs at 662-287-1550 or visit slugburgerfestival.com.)

Today in history Today is Sunday, July 6, the 187th day of 2014. There are 178 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On July 6, 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Connecticut. (Among the survivors was future actor Charles Nelson Reilly, then age 13.)
On this date: In 1483, England’s King Richard III was crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1535, Sir Thomas More was executed in England for high treason. In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga. In 1854, the first official meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Michigan. In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba from the Turks. In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park; the American League defeated the National League, 4-2. In 1957, Althea Gibson became the first black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2. In 1964, the movie “A Hard Day’s Night,” starring The Beatles, had its world premiere in London. In 1971, jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong died in New York at age 69. In 1988, 167 North Sea oil workers were killed when explosions and fires destroyed a drilling platform. Medical waste and other debris began washing up on New York City-area seashores, forcing the closing of several popular beaches. In 1989, the U.S. Army destroyed its last Pershing 1A missiles at an ammunition plant in Karnack, Texas, under terms of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

City accepts bids on street projects BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Board of Aldermen on Tuesday accepted quotes on a couple of street projects and concrete work on a ward 3 drainage project. 3-D Construction had the low quote at $10,050 for concrete work on the replacement of several hundred feet of drainage in
the Garden Lane and Bridal Path area, including concrete junction boxes and drain boxes. It is one of ward 3’s bond-funded infrastructure projects. 3-D Construction also had the low quote at $19,308 for work on Kilpatrick Street between Foote and Bunch to lower the driveway aprons. With upcoming paving on the street, the as-
phalt will return to gutter height. The board accepted Alex Wamsley’s quote of $5,452 to lower the driveway aprons on Douglas Street as needed on the blocks between Proper Street and Waldron Street. Meanwhile, paving projects are ongoing. Street Commissioner Philip Verdung said some necessary base repairs in the
first round of work slowed things down. On Wednesday, work was in progress on Edgewood Drive. After that, workers were set to move to Kilpatrick Street. Sections of North Madison and Patrick Drive are also upcoming. “And then, if money and time permits, we will have some intersections to do in the 4th ward,” said Verdung.
Warning: Scam artists targeting area schools BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com
Scam artists are now targeting area schools. The Better Business Bureau issued a warning earlier this week for schools and small businesses to be aware of an office supply scam. “It looks like Northeast Mississippi schools are on this company’s list,” said John O’Hara, Mississippi Better Business Bureau CEO. “Office supply scams are on the rise and it’s time for retailers to put extra precautions in place to avoid getting taken by these unscrupulous salesmen.” The scam first appeared in the area on June 2. A principal informed the BBB she was contacted by a Supply Services company in Texas. The company claimed to be going out of business and was offering deep discounts on school supplies. After hearing the prices being offered, the principal agreed to buy some items in effort to save money for the school. “A week later, 10 boxes of supplies showed up with an invoice
of over $7,500,” said O’Hara. “The consumer thought she had bought about $250 worth of items and contacted the company to send back what she did not order.” The company offered to take back some of the items, but informed the consumer of a restocking fee of 15 percent would apply plus another $300 in shipping. The total cost of the return was $1,200. “The BBB report on the business shows similar complaints and the company currently has an “F” rating,” added O’Hara. “This type of scam generally involves deceptive selling tactics of office supply goods used by most business-
es such as toner, paper, credit card terminal supplies and even advertising.” Small business own-
ers are advised to protect their business from paying for unsolicited or unordered goods and services. Some tips offered

Letter to the editor
State needs voter role recount To the editor: The National Spotlight is once again on Mississippi. This time the disaster was the Republican Primary Run-off between Incumbent Senator Thad Cochran and State Senator Chris McDaniel. The tactics implemented by the Cochran campaign, pandering and begging Democrats to “cross over” and vote Republican, in some cases for the first time ever, are questionable. We have witnessed first-hand Democratic Party members showing up in droves to choose the Republican nominee. While this seems a simple issue, the underlying tones are tyrannical. The big boys in Washington have shown a state political party in Mississippi that they will not let them choose their own candidate unless he gets the stamp of approval from the National Party. I am calling on Republican State Chairman, Joe Nosef, and the Democratic State Chairman, Ricky Cole, to urge their members to assist in the voter role recount. This isn’t about winning or losing. It is about the integrity of the process. This is an ethical issue. The eyes of the nation are upon Mississippi. What would we have them see, more political corruption and fraud? As State Chairman of the Libertarian Party, I understand that individuals are free to act on their own. But, something has happened here in this election. There are rules that have potentially been broken. If, indeed, some of our citizens voted in the Democratic Primary and then voted again in the Republican Runoff election, that is not allowed. You may be asking yourself, “What business is this of the Libertarian Party?” Are we to stand idly by while potential fraud and corruption may have denied our fellow citizens of their civil rights? We stand for every person’s liberty and freedom, not just members of our own party. And as far as I am concerned, whether or not they would do the same for us is irrelevant. I understand we all have to stand together against tyranny and corruption. It doesn’t matter who the victim is. This party stands for every person - every person. We do not have loyalty to either of those parties. We do have loyalty to the citizens of this state and country. We are not the Tea Party. We are not the Republican Party. We are not the Democratic Party. Although we share some common beliefs with other parties, we stand proudly as the Party of Principle, and we will not waiver in spite of threats or fraud. Mario Barnes Chairman Libertarian Party of Mississippi

A verse to share “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8
State law clear in election certification procedures STARKVILLE — If one bases their perception of what happens next in the political circus that the Mississippi Republican Senate Primary election has become on what is being shoved out on social media, it would seem that the ultimate resolution of this conflict will come as a result of which group can shout the loudest. However, social media caterwauling has virtually nothing to do with the process. As was the case in the Florida recount in the 2000 presidential election, what will determine the outcome is existing state and federal law, existing state election certification procedures, and the courts. In the 2014 Mississippi GOP Senate primary, incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran maintains a runoff election lead of 7,113 votes. In order for state Sen. Chris McDaniel’s camp to change that numerical lead, 7,114 of Cochran’s votes will have to be invalidated. The plausible way to accomplish that under state law is to identify 7,114 voters who voted in the June 3 Democratic Primary election but then illegally crossed over and voted in the June 24 Republican Second Primary election.
Without that specific voter behavior being proven, the argument that “Democrats Sid Salter s h o u l d n ’ t in a Columnist vote Republican primary and vice versa” has already been adjudicated in the federal courts. The courts ruled that Mississippi law clearly and unequivocally allows limited crossover voting so long as a voter doesn’t cross party lines by voting in one party’s first primary and another party’s second primary — or that the voter makes a public declaration of their intent not to support the nominee of the party in whose primary they are voting. Counties submit their primary results to the state party. Beyond state law on the conduct of party primary elections, there’s the certification process. Under state law, the political parties certify the results of their primaries. The majority of the 52-member Mississippi Republican Party State Executive Committee has to vote to accept the numbers submitted by the 82 individual counties.
The Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office accepts those party-certified numbers on behalf of the state, but has no legal ability to change those numbers. Once election results are certified by the state GOP Executive Committee and accepted under law by the Secretary of State’s Office, the only venue in which the primary election results can then be challenged is the courts. So the relevant questions regarding where the process goes from here are: 1) What is the ruling of the majority of the Mississippi Republican Party State Executive Committee on certifying the primary elections results?; and 2) Does the challenger have a compelling legal argument to invalidate 7,114 votes and to also clearly identify those invalidated votes as Cochran votes? History is usually a good teacher in such matters. Remember, the margin in this race is 7,113. In the 2000 Florida recount – with the U.S. presidency on the line, battalions of lawyers and experts engaged, and multiple millions of dollars expended in the 36-day fight - the margin between George W. Bush and Al Gore was less than 500 votes and closer
depending on the standard (dimpled chads, no dimples) used in counting. The Mississippi standoff isn’t even based on legal standards as distinct as dimpled chads in the establishment of voter intent. The Mississippi standoff is likewise not based on a margin of less than 500 votes dividing the candidates. And Mississippi has no mandatory recount law on the books. Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled in the Florida 2000 case that it was time to stop the challenges and certify the election. Almost 15 years later, there are many voters who vigorously disagree with that ruling and haven’t accepted the results of the election. But in the 2014 Mississippi GOP Senate primary, the election’s margin, state law, state election certification procedures and relevant federal court precedents strongly suggest a similar result in Mississippi current standoff between the Mississippi GOP and Sen. McDaniel and his supporters. (Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state. Contact him at 601-507-8004 or sidsalter@sidsalter.com.)
The Clintons’ Goldman Sachs gold mine BY DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN MCGANN The never-ending Clinton money grab is more than $150 million deep. One of their most lucrative benefactors is Wall Street powerhouse Goldman Sachs. Since leaving the White House, Bill and Hillary have collected more than $3 million from the banking goliath in campaign contributions, speaking fees and donations to their private foundation. In addition, Goldman has underwritten some of Hillary’s pet projects, including a partnership with the State Department on a women’s project conceived by Hillary. There’s more — Goldman also made commitments in the millions to the Clintons favorite programs at the Clinton Global Initiative. Of course, that money was peanuts for Goldman, whose profit for the first quarter of 2014 was $2.1 billion. But the cozy relationship has caused this question to loom over Hillary’s likely presidential candidacy: Will the left tolerate the Clintons’ increasingly incestuous relationship with the biggest crony capitalist firm in the U.S.? Politics, like nature, abhors a vacuum. Will

someone from the left step forward to fill it? So far, there’s no real threat. But stay tuned. Last year, Hillary gave two speeches to Goldman clients for $200,000 each. Her conciliatory tone alarmed some of her liberal friends. Not only didn’t she bash Goldman with the same robber baron populist rhetoric she’d used weeks earlier, she actually suggested that the banks shouldn’t be the only ones blamed for the economic crisis. We’re all in this together she posited. According to Politico, one Goldman listener was overjoyed. “It was like, ‘Here’s someone who doesn’t want to vilify us but wants to get business back in the game,’” one banker noted, according to Politico. A match made in heaven. Hillary’s what they have been waiting for. Bill’s piled up even more money, collecting over $1.3 million for eight speeches to Goldman. Now, that’s hard work, as Hillary would say. And last September, Goldman sponsored a panel chaired by Chelsea Clinton at the CGI. For a mere $375,000, Goldman’s logo was prominently displayed and the company was listed as a host. In remarks at
the session, Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein “praised the U.S. for accepting a higher unemployment rate, even as it bailed out the banks.” Not a word from Hillary about how wonderful a high unemployment rate is, and no mention of income equality. Well-respected consumer advocate Jim Hightower questioned Goldman’s charitable contribution: “What is ‘charitable’ about funneling $375,000 into one of Bill Clinton’s showand-tell PR events? Come on, that’s not charity — it’s advertising.” Hightower definitely has a point. What was the money for? CGI, certainly, didn’t pay $375,000 to rent the room for that session. Nor did Chelsea Clinton command such a fee for her less than memorable scripted comments. No, it was simply a payment for exposure for Goldman (and good will with the Clintons) and more money for the CGI. When the Clintons want to meet with their biggest donors for a day, they often book Goldman’s corporate auditorium. It’s the perfect place to make the heavy hitters feel comfortable and right at home. Goldman’s employees

were big fans of Hillary as a candidate, contributing $434,850 to her 2008 presidential campaign and $143,170 in 2006 and another $65,500 in 2004 to her Senate campaigns. In fact, CEO Blankfein brags about the fundraisers he’s held for Hillary. And, of course, Goldman has made a substantial contribution to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The exact amount isn’t clear, but its listed between $250,000 and $500,000. Goldman can always be counted on at the Clinton Global Initiative. It joined Google, McKinsey and Cisco in a $10 million commitment to fund a project helping girls with technology and promised additional money to a real estate project to lower energy costs. As Hillary told Goldman, we’re all in this together. So keep that cash coming. We’ll worry about the left some other day.

McDaniel plans to challenge vote WASHINGTON — The Republican who lost a primary runoff election to Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran said Friday he plans to challenge the results. Chris McDaniel said his campaign found at least 5,000 irregularities in voting and that he will mount a legal challenge “any day now.� In an interview with CNN, McDaniel said what matters is that fraud be uncovered where it exists and that many Mississippi residents “are very angry� because they think their votes in the June 24 primary were nullified by fraud. Most of what McDaniel is describing as irregularities involved people who apparently voted in both the June 3 Democratic primary and the Republican runoff. Mississippi does not register voters by party, but state law bans a person from voting in one party’s primary and another party’s runoff in the same cycle. McDaniel said he’s pressing the challenge because, “it’s our responsibility ... if the corruption is out there, to end it once and for all.� He did say that if the courts side against him, he would accept the outcome. But he would not say whether he would ultimately endorse Cochran for Senate in the general election. Asked if he had any regrets about the divisive primary campaign and aftermath, McDaniel said he regretted the last two and a half weeks of the campaign when “they called me a racist, they race-baited.� He said Cochran’s campaign engaged in “scare� tactics by saying that if McDaniel were to become the next senator, “welfare would be cut off.� An election challenge will be filed with the state Republican Party executive committee, as required by law. If the committee rejects a request for a new election, McDaniel could file an appeal with a state circuit court in a county where the campaign believes it has found
voting irregularities, said state Sen. Michael Watson, an attorney who is working with the McDaniel campaign. Â
Mrs. Obama bucks GOP on lunch rules WASHINGTON — First ladies typically avoid getting into public scraps, but Michelle Obama has jumped into perhaps her biggest battle yet. She’s fighting a House Republican effort to soften a central part of her prized anti-childhood obesity campaign and says she’s ready “to fight until the bitter end.â€? Mrs. Obama even mocked the GOP effort in an opinion column and argued her case on Twitter. “Remember a few years ago when Congress declared that the sauce on a slice of pizza should count as a vegetable in school lunches?â€? she wrote in The New York Times. “You don’t have to be a nutritionist to know that this doesn’t make much sense. Yet we’re seeing the same thing happening again with these new efforts to lower nutrition standards in our schools.â€? Mrs. Obama lobbied largely behind the scenes four years ago for the Healthy HungerFree Kids Act of 2010, which requires more fruit, vegetables and whole grains in school meals, along with less sodium, sugar and fat. It was a major achievement, the first update to school lunch rules in decades designed to make school meals more nutritious. The School Nutrition Association, an industry-backed group that represents school cafeteria workers and originally supported the standards, has now turned against them. The association says it fully supports getting kids to eat healthier but says many districts are losing money because students aren’t buying the healthier lunches. Â
Most union members have government ties WASHINGTON — Unions representing government workers are expanding while organized labor has been shedding private sector
members over the past half-century. A majority of union members today now have ties to a government entity, at the federal, state or local levels. Roughly 1-in-3 public sector workers is a union member, compared with about 1-in-15 for the private sector workforce, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overall, 11.3 percent of wage and salary workers in the United States are unionized, down from a peak of 35 percent during the mid-1950s in the strong post-World War II recovery. The typical union worker now is more likely to be an educator, office worker or food or service industry employee rather than a construction worker, autoworker, electrician or mechanic. Â
Obama: U.S. is now nation of immigrants WASHINGTON — Celebrating the ethnic diversity of America, President Barack Obama said more than two dozen foreign-born service members who became U.S. citizens at the White House on the Fourth of July are vivid reminders that welcoming immigrants “is central to our way of life.� He pleaded anew for new immigration policies, saying the vast range of backgrounds and experiences that has made America a melting pot for more than 200 years also makes the country stronger. He argued that the system must be retooled for the U.S. to remain the greatest nation on earth. “The basic idea of welcoming immigrants to our shores is central to our way of life, it is in our DNA,� Obama said after the 25 service members representing 15 countries raised their right hands and pledged allegiance to the United States. “From all these different strands, we make something new here in America. And that’s why, if we want to keep attracting the best and brightest from beyond our borders, we’re going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken,� he said. “Pass common-sense immigration reform.

Three injured when plane crashes PRENTISS — Three people have been injured after their single-engine plane crash-landed Saturday afternoon in a field in Jefferson Davis County. WDAM-TV reports that a man, woman and child who haven’t been identified were taken by private vehicle to Covington County Hospital in Collins with non-lifethreatening injuries. The crash happened on Thurman Road on the eastern edge of Jefferson Davis County. A witness who was driving a tractor on the property says the plane came in low over a tree line, bounced once when it hit the ground, lost a wheel and came to a stop upright. At least one wing collapsed on impact. The pilot told authorities he was having engine problems before the crash. Â
5 rescued after boat capsizes at reservoir BRANDON — Two adults and three children have been rescued after their boat capsized near the dam at the Ross Barnett Reservoir. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District Police Department says it responded to a distress call about 10 p.m. Friday, taking the five people aboard a reservoir police boat. The boaters were taken to land where they were evaluated by the reservoir police department and paramedics. No one was taken to a hospital. Reservoir Police Chief Perry Waggener says police believe high winds and waves contributed to the capsizing. Â
Man found dead, naked in Benton ASHLAND — Authorities are still looking for people who killed a Benton County man. Derrick Sanders, a 45-year-old resident of the Lamar community, was found dead and naked in a yard on Mississippi Highway 7 just after dawn Friday. Coroner Richard Anderson tells the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal that Sanders had been stabbed, shot and beat-
en sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Friday. His clothes were lying next to him when his body was found. A man on a backhoe discovered Sanders’ body. Anderson says the Benton County Sheriff’s Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations are seeking clues in the slaying, but at this time there are no suspects. Â
Coast child abuse center may close GULFPORT — Gulfport’s Child Abuse Prevention Center has shed all but two employees and may close by the end of July for lack of funding. Harrison County District Attorney Joel Smith told the Sun Herald that the center’s most crucial program is forensic interviewing of abused children. He said the interviews are “a tremendous asset for us in providing jurors with a deeper insight into the mind of a child victim.â€? Other agencies with employees trained in forensic interviewing would be able to step in for the short term, but Smith said the area needs a full-time interviewer. The center also helps families who need housing or money and provides prevention services and parenting classes. It serves primarily Harrison and Jackson counties, but also 11 others. “A lot of families here, they just don’t know where to start,â€? said former program director Keiana Lock, who has been forced to look for another job. She said the need for the center’s services is greater than she expected when she started working there two years ago. “Before I worked here I was like, not that many children on the coast get abused,â€? she said. “I thought it was like four or five a week but it’s way more than that.â€? Â
New promised land: Plans for GTR park COLUMBUS — The transformation of the prairie into a sprawling industrial haven continues. In the last three years, Lowndes County has borrowed $14 million from the Rural Development
Authority to purchase 2,500 acres of land west of the Golden Triangle Regional Airport for future development. The one-million gallon water tower logo installed on the new land informs passers-by that it is known as Golden Triangle Regional Global Industrial Aerospace Park. It’s an extension and rebranding of the existing Golden Triangle Industrial Park on the east side of the airport. The only difference between the two groups of land is where they are. Their purposes are the same: Bring high-paying jobs in the automotive and aerospace industries to the Golden Triangle. The 3,500-plus acres east of the third busiest airport in the state acquired before the more recent land purchases already hosts heavyweight manufacturers including Severstal, PACCAR and Airbus, among many other facilities that make products used in the aerospace, automotive, metals and wood industries and have created thousands of jobs for people in east Mississippi and west Alabama. The newly acquired land on the west side of the airport is under rapid development. On tap for completion by late this summer is the installation of three new sewer lines and paving a road already being built on the site. Expansion of the wastewater plant that serves the existing park is underway and will serve both the east and west side. Â
Oxford firm gets Army contract OXFORD — An Oxford, Mississippi, firm has been awarded at $15.6 million contract to build a regional simulation center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The Department of Defense says in a news release that Carothers Construction Inc. will build the 36,000-squarefoot facility that will include simulation communication rooms, secure communication infrastructure, network distribution nodes, operation centers, work cells, classrooms and administrative offices. The Army says the work should be completed by April 22, 2016.

Challenge looms while McDaniel backers rally Associated Press
JACKSON — State Sen. Chris McDaniel and his supporters are urging continued defiance as McDaniel prepares to challenge his Republican primary runoff loss to incumbent U.S. Sen Thad Cochran. Tea party supporters gathered Saturday at the Mississippi state capitol, where supporters asked them to donate money and volunteer time for McDaniel’s effort. McDaniel served papers Thursday saying he intends to challenge the election, alleging improper crossover voting. His campaign says it believes it has found thousands of examples of people marked as voting in the June 3 Democratic primary and the June 24 Republican runoff — a practice banned by state law. The challenge will be filed with the state Republican Party executive committee. The Cochran campaign calls the challenge “baseless.” Cochran received nearly 6,800 more votes than McDaniel on June 24.

Alcorn School District approves hirings BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com
The Alcorn School District board approved a slew of staff hires and rehires for the 2014-15 school year last week. Board member Randy Wilbanks questioned the hiring of Elizabeth Wamsley as the assistant high school curriculum director for up to 17 additional days this month. “Ms. Wamsley will be helping Ms. Tammy Johnson during a few weeks to get more comfortable with some of the duties of the curriculum position,” said Superintendent Gina Rogers Smith. Johnson will assume the testing curriculum and elementary curriculum district roles left vacant by the recent retirement of Federal Programs Director Lisa Wigginton. Peggie Bundy will resume her role as the district’s food service
director. The board voted to hire Tammie Ray and Janet Chism as part of the food service mentoring program. At the Alcorn Career Technical Center, Tila Johnson will act as the health science teacher, while Nan Nethery will take the teacher academy position. Sheila Alstatt was approved as an assistant teacher at Alcorn Central Middle School. The board approved several hires and rehires at Kossuth Middle School. Lisa Benjamin was approved as bookkeeper and Tammy Howie will take a secretary position. Wayne Sides will act as lead custodian at KMS for the new school year slated to begin in August. Rosa Longoria and Teri Switcher were both approved for KMS custodian positions, as well. Michael Burcham will take on custodian duties at Alcorn Cen-
Songwriters bring tour to Riley Center With each song they craft, singer-songwriters tell a story. “The Heart Behind the Music” tour also gives fans a rare glimpse into the stories that inspired the songs as the singers discuss the meanings behind their hits. The tour swings through Meridian this year, showcasing the talents of Deana Carter, Billy Dean, Collin Raye, and Bryan White. The performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 15, at the MSU Riley Center. Deana Carter’s career took off about 20 years ago with her Grammy-nominated hit, “Strawberry Wine.” She recently released her sixth studio album, entitled “Southern Way of Life.” Joining her is Billy Dean, known for “Only Here for a Little While” and “If There Hadn’t Been You.” Three of his studio albums were certified gold and helped him rack up as many as 20 hit singles on the Billboard charts. Country veteran Collin Raye, known for his hits from the 1990s — “Love, Me,” “Not That Different,” and “In This Life” among them — recently made a successful detour into inspirational music. He is also a strong supporter (and singer) of traditional country music. Taking the stage as well is Bryan White, who counts “I’m Not Supposed to Love You Anymore” and “So Much for Pretending” among his collection of number one country singles. He recently released his seventh album, “Shine.” Tickets are $39 and $33 at the MSU Riley Center box office, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Krick’s shop is always ready when he is BY M. SCOTT MORRIS Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
BOONEVILLE — Heaven is about 10 acres on the Tuscumbia Watershed, the best-kept secret in Prentiss County. That’s where Bob Krick’s wife keeps her garden and where he has his shop. “It’s my home away from home,” the 79-year-old said of his shop, which is separated from the house only by an attached garage. “You come out here, you can forget about time. It keeps me out of trouble.” As far back as he can remember, Krick had an interest in working with his hands. “When I was boy, we had an old chicken coop that was converted into a tool shed. I would go there and make all kinds of stuff, like wooden scooters with roller-skate wheels,” said Krick, wearing suspenders patterned after a carpenter’s measuring tape. He can still hear his grandmother’s worries, and how she repeated, “You’re going to hurt yourself. You’re going to hurt yourself.” And to be fair, Krick is self-taught, so those early attempts with electricity caused a few sparks. “No telling how many fuses I blew before I figured it out,” he said.
His early days were spent in Hamburg, Pa. He later served a stint in the Marines, got out for a while, then joined the Army and made it a career. He didn’t have much of a shop during his military days, but he had friends, as well as others who wanted things. “The barter system was alive and well,” he said. “I needed legal work done, but I didn’t have money to pay the lawyer. He said, Can you make a counter for the front of my office?’ I said, Sure.’” After the military, he took a series of jobs in the Northeast and Midwest with companies that kept going broke. He decided to look South. “I called a buddy I was in the Army with. I said, I’m coming to Ripley.’ He said, Good,’” Krick recalled. “That was in 1980; since then, I’ve had ups and downs, good times and rough times, but it’s settled down.” Through it all, he’s had his hobby, though it hasn’t always been a hobby. He spent several years teaching cabinet-making and millwork to students in Corinth. His students came to him one day looking for a challenge, and Krick remembered a 1740 handkerchief table with a folding top he’d seen in a magazine. “They made 10 of them out of different kinds of
wood,” Krick said. He made one for himself out of black cherry that sits in his guest bedroom. He also crafted one each for his daughter and granddaughter. In effect, Krick is in the early stages of an antique business. All he needs is for his creations to survive for a few generations. “I feel like I’ve got to be a perfectionist on some things,” he said. Krick made his grandson a writing table based on the one Thomas Jefferson used when he wrote the Declaration of Independence. “He was tickled to death to get that,” Krick said. He built a musical jewelry box for his wife, and she cried when he gave it to her. “It was just too sweet,” Lucy Krick said. A stepdaughter asked for a wall armoire to hold jewelry. It’s in process and was sitting on Krick’s homemade shop table. Much of his work goes to family, but not all. He enjoys making wooden bowls and giving them away. “People say bring them to the fall festival, but it’s not something I want to sell,” he said. “The look on their faces makes you feel good inside. It’s something you made and they appreciate it.”

it is an objective assessment that provides a clear cut result, eliminating any social other factors. He emphasized the college simply performs the assessment and provides employers with the results, without any consideration of who the particular candidate is. This gives the employer a dependable, unbiased source of information on a potential employee and helps them understand how that employee would perform in their particular environment. The testing is broken into six separate segments focused on particular abilities directly re-

The Compass Computer segment uses a computerized test to evaluate a variety of physical and mental skills including color discrimination, short-term memory, vocabulary, language, math, problem solving and more.

Only road onto island reopening after Arthur BY EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press
KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. — North Carolina’s popular beach towns began returning to the business of recreation Saturday, after Arthur lashed the state’s coast with forceful winds and heavy rain and then churned northward without leaving a trail of significant damage. Arthur was downgraded to a tropical storm early Saturday, but the storm’s near-hurricane strength winds slammed into Canada’s maritime provinces, causing 113,000 customers of Nova Scotia Power to lose electricity. The utility in New Brunswick reported 86,000 outages. The storm has caused flight cancellations and delays at the region’s largest airport in Halifax. New England was largely spared from damage spawned by the storm, but some 19,000 people in Maine and 1,600 in Vermont were without power after high winds and heavy rains pounded the region. There were reports of localized flooding in
“We had about two feet of water here in my garage.” Josh Fiscus coastal areas of Massachusetts and the Nova Star Ferry suspended service Friday and Saturday morning because of dangerous seas. No injuries or deaths have been reported. The hurricane’s effects in North Carolina were mostly confined to Hatteras and Ocracoke islands, and some vacationers were already back on beaches to the north and south on Friday. But the ocean churned by Arthur remained dangerous Saturday with the risk of rip currents able to wash the strongest swimmer to sea. That didn’t stop thousands of people from enjoying the sun and sand and leaving lifeguards to remind beach-goers of the
danger. “We’re going to try to keep people out of the water and keep them safe,” said David Elder, lifeguard supervisor for the town of Kill Devil Hills. “However, if conditions abate, I’d be glad to drop” the no-swimming warning. More than 600 of the 700 lifeguard rescues by Elder’s department last year were required because of rip currents, he said. The only road onto Hatteras Island was reopened to all traffic on Saturday afternoon, hours after permanent residents were first allowed to return. The island had been closed to visitors since early Thursday. With many weeklong cottage rentals running Saturday to Saturday, local businesses were hoping to salvage the second half of the holiday weekend. A small section of fragile North Carolina Highway 12 buckled after being submerged by churning waters during the Category 2 hurricane. Officials also tested the two-mile-long
Bonner Bridge onto the island to ensure it was safe for traffic. The road also suffered extensive flooding in some areas and officials warned drivers to watch for pockets of sand on the highway. Farther south, Ocracoke Island’s electricity distribution system was badly damaged by Arthur, leading officials to order residents to quit using air conditioners and water heaters so that generator-supplied power could provide refrigeration and other necessities during a cycle of planned outages. A nightly curfew between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. was declared until power was fully restored. Vacationers were being coaxed to leave with the offer of free ferry rides out. Parts of Rodanthe and Salvo were flooded on Friday across nearly the entire width of Hatteras Island from the ocean to the sound. Trailers toppled in campgrounds where they were left, pictures from a Coast Guard helicopter that flew over the island showed.
Josh Fiscus was still cleaning up the mess at his Salvo home Saturday. “We had about two feet of water here in my garage,” he said. Jackson Whitley, 14, was back to another day of picking up wind-blown debris and fallen tree limbs from around his family’s Buxton home much as he did Friday. Apart from the lack of normal summertime crowds, he said streets were pretty much back to normal. Linda Savage, 65, said she and a neighbor collected a small refrigerator and a trash can with lid intact left behind by flood waters about three feet deep. The flooding rose almost to the front door of her Salvo home without seeping inside, but Arthur’s winds of almost 100 mph caused other damage. “I lost a tremendous amount of shingles from my roof,” Savage said. She planned to shop for groceries Saturday, and hoped the cable television and Internet would be restored soon.
Executive director retiring after 40 years at archives agency BY JACK ELLIOTT JR. Associated Press
JACKSON — Nearly nine years after Hurricane Katrina left much of south Mississippi in ruin, Hank Holmes looks back at the deadly storm as a test of Mississippi’s commitment to historical preservation. Holmes is retiring next year after what will be 42 years at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, the last nine as executive director. The Winona native joined the department in 1973. He oversaw the archives and library division from 1988 to 2004. He became agency executive director in 2005. Much has been achieved under Holmes, said Kane Ditto, chairman of the archive agency’s Board of Trustees and former Jackson mayor. Accomplishments include an electronic records section that serves as a national model; expansion of efforts to preserve Mississippi American Indian history; the
“I think it was the biggest task we have ever undertaken. We had staff going down there for days and weeks to survey the damage to historical sites — and that’s when there was no place to stay, no place to eat. ...” Hank Holmes Executive director Mississippi Department of Archives and History On repair ravages of historic properties in the wake of Hurricane Katrina Eudora Welty House and Garden, and now the Museum of Mississippi History and Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, Ditto said. Perhaps his greatest achievement was overseeing a $26 million historic preservation grant program in the wake of Hurricane Katrina to repair ravages historic properties. “I think it was the biggest task we have ever
undertaken. We had staff going down there for days and weeks to survey the damage to historical sites — and that’s when there’s was no place to stay, no place to eat. The staff was carrying meals with them and working long days and driving back,” Holmes told The Associated Press. “But we were able to save structures that nobody thought could be saved and we were able to
restore documents that a lot people thought were lost,” Holmes said. Katrina devastated public archives charged with protecting important documents — not only historic treaties and photographs, but many more mundane yet critical modern documents like birth and death certificates and car titles. Katrina destroyed about one-fifth of Mississippi Gulf Coast buildings that had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places — about 300 were obliterated and 1,200 were still standing. The heaviest toll was along the beach, where the hurricane’s brutal winds and 30-foot storm surge washed away many homes that predated the Civil War. Beauvoir, the final home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, survived on the Biloxi beachfront, but it was heavily damaged. The agency used funds to restore the Old Spanish Fort in Pascagoula,
It’s festival, fair season in Mississippi Associated Press
JACKSON — Tourism officials are reminding Mississippians of the abundance of local festivals and fairs to enjoy across the state. “Enjoying great food, music and hospitality in the beautiful outdoors is a vital part of the Mississippi story and something we enjoy sharing with visitors. Throughout the summer, communities host festivals and fairs that showcase the authentic sights and sounds of our state’s culture and invite residents and visitors to embrace that culture for themselves,” Malcolm White, director of Visit Mississippi, said in a news release. Tourism officials said the list of festivals and fairs includes: ■ 65th Annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, July 9-12 The four-day event includes tribal arts, crafts,
dances, food and the action of World Championship Stickball. ■ 27th Annual Slugburger Festival in Corinth, July 10-12. Slugburgers, a local delicacy, aren’t made of slugs as the name implies. The secret recipe includes meat and a breading extender, such as soybean meal. The patty is deep fried and garnished with pickle, mustard and onion. The event is sponsored by Main Street Corinth. The festival features a slugburger-eating contest, carnival rides, a variety of food vendors and musical performances, including the popular Slug Idol competition. ■ 36th Annual Mississippi Watermelon Festival in Mize, July 18-19. Since 1978, the Mississippi Watermelon Festival in Mize has celebrated the delicious, ripe, world-famous Smith
County watermelons. ■ Natchez Food and Wine Festival, Natchez, July 25-27 The Natchez Food and Wine Festival hosts in some of the region’s most prominent chefs and restaurants for a weekend of food, wine and entertainment. ■ Neshoba County Fair in Philadelphia, July 25Aug. 1. “Mississippi’s Giant House Party” began in 1889. The fair fosters political, agricultural and social exchanges of knowledge and ideas. It is home of the state’s only licensed horse track since 1922 and the nation’s largest campground fair. Rides, games, entertainment and hundreds of fair cabins provide a great atmosphere for visiting and discussing the latest political issues. ■ 26th Annual Sunflower River Blues
& Gospel Festival in Clarksdale, Aug. 8-10 The first Sunflower River Blues Festival took place in 1988 and was funded primarily by Clarksdale’s downtown merchants. Since then, one of the largest blues and gospel festivals in Mississippi has grown every year to include some of best names in the business. ■ Jackson Rhythm & Blues Festival in Jackson, Aug. 15-16 On multiple stages at the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Museum, this inaugural event will be headlined by American Idol winner Fantasia and Ziggy Marley and will feature over 30 of R&B artists from the Southeast, including: Bell Biv Devoe, Chrisette Michele and Estelle.

Turkey Creek in Gulfport and grand homes on Pass Christian’s East Scenic Drive. The Old Spanish Fort is a French colonial structure also called the Pointe-Krebs-La Pointe Home. Initially, the agency spent $250,000 to stabilize the circa-1718 structure wracked by hurricane winds and swept underneath by surge. The Turkey Creek community was founded by freed slaves more than a century ago. It includes what was in 2006 a 120-year-old church. In Pass Christian, the agency allocated $100,000 to save the 1928 Pass Christian Colored School, now known as the Randolph School. Holmes also said the founding of two new museums — one that tells the history of the state, the other its civil rights struggle — is dear to him. “We are able to tell history not presented before. Our theme is ‘One Mississippi.’ There are many stories to tell and we are
trying to reflect the variety of faces across Mississippi history,” Holmes said. Holmes said the museums are scheduled to open during the celebration of Mississippi’s bicentennial in December 2017. During a 2013 groundbreaking, officials said the side-by-side museums will tell an unflinching and thorough story of Mississippi, including its complex history of race relations and its roles in the Civil War and the civil rights movement. The Museum of History will tell the story of Mississippi from its pre-Columbian past, its evolution as an agrarian region with the arrival of the first European settlers and its emergence as a diverse manufacturing center. The Civil Rights Museum will chronicle the decades-long struggle of African-Americans for such basic rights as voting and the enjoyment of previously “whites only” public accommodations.
Performer drapes, lights firecrackers over his body Associated Press
COOPERSVILLE, Mich. — John Fletcher gets a bang out of firecrackers — especially those he wraps around himself. The 51-year-old Michigan performer’s act includes setting off 10,500 firecrackers attached to his body, The Detroit News reported Saturday. “I guess I’m a little nuts,” said Fletcher, who goes by the name Ghengis John the Human Firecracker. “I got a little bit of ‘Hey, look at me.’” He performed last weekend before 300 people and four firefighters at a motorcycle rally in the western Michigan town of Coopersville. It was one in a string of shows that Fletcher said would be his last. He has yet to keep those promises. “He’s getting too old,” Sharon Warner, a friend of Fletcher’s, told the
newspaper. “I’ve been telling him that a long time.” Fletcher said that over 16 years, he has set off 600,000 firecrackers attached to his body. His ribs have been fractured 17 times and once Fletcher says he was knocked unconscious. He also has been burned. It costs $140 and takes two weeks to put together his firecracker suit, which are strands of firecrackers are glued to four leather sheets Fletcher hangs over his abdomen, back and arms. He wears safety glasses and a compressed leather vest. At the motorcycle rally, a volunteer lit the fuse for the firecrackers, and pretty soon, Fletcher began to snap, crackle and pop for about 45 seconds. Emergency medical technicians checked him over for injuries.

Shipp Eye Clinic is bringing a new technology into focus. The clinic is the first in Corinth to offer the new iStent Trabecular MicroBypass, which is a recent advancement in the surgical treatment of glaucoma. The iStent procedure is performed during cataract surgery, allowing the removal of cataracts and the treatment of glaucoma both in one step. “A lot of general ophthalmologists don’t perform traditional glaucoma surgery,” said Dr. John Shipp. “What’s exciting about this breakthrough is that it is a safe procedure that can now be offered to patients by most comprehensive ophthalmologists.” Traditional glaucoma surgeries, such as trabeculectomy and tube shunt procedures, typically require a great deal of recovery time and can have a myriad of complications. “The iStent is certainly safer. Patients should never even know the device is there. They will not see it or feel it,” he added. The smallest medical device ever approved by the FDA, the iStent is not indicated for those who suffer from severe glaucoma, but can effectively correct those in mild to moderate stages. It is part of a new kind of glaucoma care called Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). Since the establishment of MIGS patients have been able to seek treatment prior to advanced deterioration. “MIGS is the new trend in glaucoma surgery,” said the eye surgeon. “Prior to MIGS, you waited until glaucoma was in advanced stages to do surgery, but it can now be performed on those with mild to moderate glaucoma.” It is estimated that over 2 million Americans currently suffer from glaucoma, and most use eye drops to treat the ailment. And statistics

A patient can have the procedure only if they have glaucoma as well as cataracts,” said Shipp. Like putting a band-aid on a symptom, most patients face the burden using drops for the rest of

their lives, as well as the continual expense of buying them. “Using eye drops does not cure the disease,” he said. “It simply manages it.” According to Shipp, it is estimated that only around 50 to 60 percent of patients with glaucoma are actually compliant with the instructions and regimens of their eye drops. “Patients often find it difficult to remember to use their drops and they can be quite expensive,” said Shipp. “If the iStent
has the potential to get them off eye drops with a procedure they were having anyway, then I would consider that to be very cost effective in the long run. It would also give them a better quality of life.” “Cataract surgery is one of the safest surgeries performed in the United States today. And the iStent has a safety profile similar to that of cataract surgery alone,” added Shipp. He noted patients are excited the iStent can control their eye pressure and possibly eliminate their eye medications. Shipp concluded, “This is good news for the many glaucoma patients who will be needing cataract surgery over the coming years.” (For more information about the iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass and to see if you are a candidate for the device call 662-286-6068 or visit the clinic on 3302 W.

Birthday girl boldly asks guests to bring second gift DEAR ABBY: I am planning to attend a birthday party for my friend “Sophia” who is turning 50. When I mentioned to her that I would be shopping for her birthday gift, she asked that while I was shopping for her, that I also pick up a gift for her friend “Stacy.” Abigail I have met Van Buren Stacy only a couple of times, and I Dear Abby think it was extremely nervy for Sophia to ask me to do it. The party is only for her, and I don’t see the connection. Sophia has done this in the past, and I’m trying to think of a way to tell her I’d rather not buy a gift for her friend. How should I handle this? — NO LONGER A DOORMAT DEAR NO LONGER A DOORMAT: Tell Sophia with a SMILE that you are not close to Stacy, don’t know her taste and do not feel comfortable shopping for her. Smiling when you say it should prevent your refusal from appearing confrontational. P.S. I agree she had a lot of nerve to ask.
DEAR ABBY: We went out to dinner with another couple. The wives are psychiatric nurses; the husbands are a banker and a business owner. All of us are accustomed to dealing with “sensitive” issues. A woman at the table next to ours went to the ladies’ room. When she returned, a short “train” of toilet paper was caught in the waistband of her slacks. It was very obvious. There was silence, but a palpable “energy,” so the woman knew something was amiss and it might have something to do with her. The tissue “floated” with each step, so I knew it wasn’t weighed down with moisture. Because I didn’t perceive it to be an imminent public health threat, I joined the silent legion. Did I miss a moral imperative by not letting her know? I didn’t know how to do it discreetly. If this should ever happen again, what -- if anything -- should I do? -- MR. MANNERS IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR MR. MANNERS: Imagine if the person with the paper trail was you or your wife. Would you want to know, so that when you got up to leave the restaurant all eyes didn’t follow you out? A discreet way to have let the woman know there was a problem would have been for you or
your wife to have written her a note, and given it to her server to pass to her. That way, she would know there was a problem with the least amount of embarrassment. DEAR ABBY: My husband, who is nearing 60, throws plates of food at the wall if he gets upset about something. It is usually minor and totally spontaneous. He then leaves it for me to clean up and won’t apologize. I am sick of living with a 60-year-old going on 4. What can I do? — HAD ENOUGH IN ILLINOIS DEAR HAD ENOUGH: How long have you been tolerating your husband’s explosive outbursts of temper? Has he been breaking other things, or raising a hand to you? There are several things you can do. The first is stop cleaning up after him. Eat separately if you have to. You could also warn him that if he doesn’t seek help now for his temper that you have had it. If you need my permission to go, I am giving it to you. 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 won’t have things just as you like them, so don’t waste time trying to make the world fit your image. Instead, deal with what’s available, and try to make it work. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s like you’re in a maze that you have figured out many times before but can’t remember. It’s not difficult, but it’s a bit frustrating that even though you’ve already done the work, you’re repeating the steps as if for the first time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The composition Mozart wrote in one day had enough exuberance in it to fill several lifetimes. Similarly, you’ll be concocting a joyful creation with an everlasting quality. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have the sense that you’re moving on to better things -- not necessarily bigger things, but things better suited to you. This brings hope and keeps it alive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Realizing that all things have a cycle, the kindest thing to do is to breathe in for the rise and exhale for the fall, being there all along the way. Fighting the inevitable is graceless. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know the one who will be loyal and true -- you have a sense about these things. So put your energy into that relationship that is sure to give you happiness again and again. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you’re not sure what you should say, don’t say anything at all. When you’re sure, say it confidently. Even if you’re not sure, say it strong. Strong and wrong will rule over weak and right. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Here’s a mighty fine reason to like a person: They have a way of bringing out the best in you. So whom do you feel good around? Arrange to be around those people more often. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You may feel like you’re missing the point, but don’t worry -- it will hit you when you’re good and ready. The lessons you don’t learn during this part of the journey will be repeated in the next. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Those wordless little sounds you make -- the sighs, mumbles, giggles and such -- serve to entrance and fascinate a certain someone who may even be falling in love with you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The way you execute your plans will inspire and motivate others to do the same. Later it will be suggested that you have elevated your group, and hopefully you’ll understand and be very proud of the truth in this. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Calm, steady progress may be the secure way to build, but for you, it works differently: Nothing happens for a long time, and then suddenly it all seems to be happening at once.

Braves seal 9th straight win BY GEORGE HENRY Associated Press
ATLANTA — Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons wasted no time recovering from a rare two-error inning. “It’s a tough when your errors are a little costly, but (Aaron) Harang picked me up and kept us in the game,” Simmons said. “The other guys got on base and we ended up winning, so it’s a good day after all.” Simmons drove in four runs, Harang won his third straight start and the Atlanta Braves beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-4 Saturday for their season-high ninth straight victory.

LONDON — Petra Kvitova plays so much better at the All England Club than anywhere else, and now she owns two championships to prove it. In one of the most dominant performances in a women’s final at Wimbledon, the sixthseeded Kvitova of the Czech Republic overpowered and overwhelmed 13th-seeded Eugenie Bouchard of Canada 6-3, 6-0 in only 55 minutes Saturday to add to her 2011 title at the grass-court Grand Slam. “I know,” Kvitova said, “this is the best tournament for me.” Absolutely true. Her career record of 26-5 at Wimbledon translates to an .839 winning percentage, compared to her

a groundout in the seventh to make it 10-4. It marked the third time in his career and second time this season that he had four RBIs in a game. Simmons has four straight games with at least two hits. The Diamondbacks went ahead 3-0 in the first on Goldschmidt’s RBI double, Montero’s RBI single and Gerardo Parra’s RBI single. Parra got an at-bat after manager Kirk Gibson successfully challenged that Aaron Hill, the previous batter, was safe at first on Atlanta’s double-play attempt. “We had a rough first inning there, but nobody panicked,” Harang said. “Our confi-
dence is real high right now, and everybody’s feeling good about how we’re swinging the bats and playing defense. We knew guys were comfortable up there and knew that we’d stay right in it.” Simmons, named last year’s Platinum Glove winner as the NL’s best defender, had two errors in the first. Simmons began the game with six errors this year. “I told him that how you bounce back from those is what’s important,” Braves BYmanager Fredi Gonzalez said. “He made some great plays defensively after that Please see BRAVES | 11A
marks of .667 at the three other majors and .681 at all other events. In 2014, Kvitova lost in the first round at the hard-court Australian Open, and in the third round at the clay-court French Open. But get her on the grass court, and those speedy serves and flat forehands really shine. “For sure, she was on,” Bouchard said. “We know that when she’s on, she’s very tough to beat. Especially on this surface.” On Saturday, the 24-yearold Kvitova certainly was “on.” Oh, was she ever. Pretty much perfect in every way. The left-hander hit serves that reached 113 mph (182 kph) and earned easy points. Walloped big, deep returns that left Bouchard little
time to react. Smacked flat groundstrokes off both wings that zipped right where she intended, often skidding near lines, helping accumulate a 28-8 edge in winners. Won 11 of 14 points she played at the net. Most surprisingly, even to Kvitova herself, was the way she motored around the Centre Court grass with her right thigh heavily bandaged, displaying defensive skill that she’s not necessarily known for. It was telling that Bouchard lost in such a lopsided manner despite four unforced errors. “I mean, (a) few shots was really incredible, and I really couldn’t believe that I made it, actually,” said Kvitova, who was within two points of defeat against Venus Williams in the third round. “I said,
‘Oh, my God, this is good!’” The match was played under a heavy cover of clouds, and it seemed as if Bouchard’s best chance to regroup would be a rain delay. “I don’t know,” Bouchard’s mother, Julie Leclair, said, “if there was much she could’ve done.” A shower arrived minutes after the brief-as-could-be final concluded. Before the trophy presentation, the retractable roof was closed, and both players left the court for a bit. Bouchard was told to wait in the room used to engrave champions’ names. “I was watching them work,” Bouchard said, “wishing one day — dreaming — that he’ll write my name Please see TENNIS | 11A

Associated Press
LONDON — For all their time on the world’s biggest tennis stage — Roger Federer in 24 Grand Slam finals and Novak Djokovic in 13 — two of the sport’s “Big 4” have met in only one major final: Federer won in straight sets at the 2007 U.S. Open. They’ll renew their rivalry in a championship match at Wimbledon today and equal a Grand Slam record. It’s the 12th time they’ve met in any round of a major, equaling Djokovic’s duel with Rafael Nadal in majors. Federer leads Djokovic 6-5 in Grand Slams tournaments, including a win the only time they’ve met at Wimbledon — Federer prevailing in four sets in the 2012 semifinals, the only time they’ve met on grass.
The Swiss star holds an 1816 edge in career matches, although Djokovic has won three of five matches they’ve played since 2013, including this year on clay at Monte Carlo. Federer is making his first appearance in a Grand Slam final since he won here in 2012, and has done it emphatically — dropping just one set in six matches. Here are five other things to know about today’s match on Centre Court at the All England Club: TOP RANKING: A victory by Djokovic will return him to the No. 1 ranking for the first time since September of last year, taking over from Nadal. Djokovic first rose to No. 1 when he won his only Wimbledon title in 2011, although he was already guaranteed of securing the top ranking even before beating
Nadal in the final. NOT THIS TIME: Defending champion Andy Murray, who lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals here, or Nadal, who was beaten by Nick Kyrgios in the fourth round, had featured in 18 consecutive Grand Slam finals. DOMINATION CONTINUES: The final matchup guarantees that 36 of the past 38 Grand Slam singles titles have gone to a member of the Big 4 — Federer, Djokovic, Murray and Nadal. For trivia buffs, the ones they didn’t win: the 2005 French Open (Juan Martin del Potro) and this year’s Australian Open (Stan Wawrinka). NOVAK SAYS: “We know each other’s games. Most of the matches we’ve played against each other went the distance, so I’m going to be
physically ready and fit. The key against him is trying to not allow him to dictate too much because he likes to be very aggressive, he likes to come to the net. I’m going to have to be able to get as many returns back in the court and try to also stay closer to the line, protect the baseline.” ROGER SAYS: “We both like to take charge, especially on quicker courts. He has a wonderful way of either redirecting or taking the ball early, taking pace from the opponent, even generating some of his own. There’s not really a safe place you can play into. Novak can hurt you down the line or cross-court on both sides. He’s really improved ... his forehand, his serve, his movement clearly is what stands out the most. I think for me it’s really important to stay aggressive.”
Hurley extends lead to 2 at Greenbrier BY JOHN RABY Associated Press
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Billy Hurley III doesn’t plan to lose much rest sitting on a third-round lead for the first time on the PGA Tour. The former U.S. Navy officer shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to extend his advantage to two strokes over Angel Cabrera entering the final round of the Greenbrier Classic. “I’ve been working for a long time to win on the PGA Tour,” Hurley said. “I figure if I shoot the lowest score tomorrow, I can’t lose.” Hurley never relinquished the lead he has held since midway through the second round at Old White TPC. He birdied the par-5 12th and par-4 13th before dropping a stroke on the par-3 15th. He had a 12-under 198 total. No third-round leader has won the Greenbrier Classic, now in its fifth year. Playoffs have decided the tournament twice. Cabrera shot 64. He’s looking for his first non-major win on the PGA Tour. Kevin Chappell was third at 9 under after a 69. Steve Stricker had a 68 to top the group at 8 under. There will be more than a trophy to raise and a $1.2 mil-
lion winner’s check available Sunday. The four best finishers not previously eligible for the British Open among the top 12 on the final leaderboard will earn spots in the July 1720 tournament at Royal Liverpool. Hurley finished his fiveyear Navy service in 2009 and would still be a naval officer if golf wasn’t keeping him busy. He returned to the PGA Tour this year after playing on the Web.com Tour in 2013. He said nerves won’t play a part in how he gets ready for what could be a memorable Sunday. “I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing,” he said. “I just want to put my mind in position so that I can play well. I slept fine last night. The benefit of the Navy if you learn how to sleep anywhere. I think I’ll sleep fine tonight, too.” Cabrera wore an Argentine blue shirt in the third round and is riding his country’s momentum in the World Cup, including Saturday’s 1-0 win over Belgium to advance to the semifinal round. “I was very happy when I found out they won,” Cabrera said, adding that he was equally as giddy when he started his round with four birdies on the first six holes.
Old White sets up nicely for Cabrera’s long drives and he made four birdie putts of 19 feet or longer. “I was able to get the speed of the greens, and that was the big difference,” Cabrera said. At the Wells Fargo Championship in May, Cabrera was the second-round leader but closed with a pair of 75s. Another under-par round Sunday would mark the first time that he has had four rounds in the 60s since the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship. Chappell barely got anything going until making a 12-foot putt for birdie on the par-5 17th. “I don’t think I’ve had my best ball-striking day yet,” he said. “Hopefully, my putter gets hot and (it) should be fun.” Joining Stricker in the group at 8 under were Michael Thompson (64), Cameron Tringale (64), Will Wilcox (65), Joe Durant (66), Camilo Villegas (67) and Chris Stroud (70). Stricker, in his eighth tour event this year, will compete next week at John Deere and is leaning against going to the British Open unless he has one or more high finishes before then.
Rain postpones Coke Zero 400 at Daytona Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The day race at Daytona International Speedway ended up at night. And now the night race will go off during the day. Steady rain forced NASCAR to postpone the Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. It’s the second race at Daytona this year delayed by rain. The season-opening Daytona 500 was stopped for more than six hours because of rain and ended under the lights. “We seem to have a little bad luck with the weather,” said Joie Chitwood III, the track president. “We had it in February and we have it right now.” The Coke Zero 400 will start at 10 a.m. today, about 14 hours after officials postponed the event. The forecast calls for more rain today, but Chitwood said scheduling an early start gives Please see RACE | 11A

inning and also swung the bat. He kept the line moving.” After Simmons cut the lead to 3-1 in the first, the Braves made it 3-2 in the third on Jason Heyward’s RBI single. Atlanta took a 7-3 lead with a five-run fourth off Mike Bolsinger (1-5). Tommy La Stella scored from third when B.J. Upton reached on Didi Gregorius’ throwing error. Simmons’ two-run double was followed by Freddie Freeman’s RBI triple and Upton’s sacrifice fly. Bolsinger, who had a 2.70 ERA in his previous three starts, gave up 10 hits, seven runs — five earned — and walked two in 32⁄3 innings. He struck out five. Ender Inciarte homered in the fifth to cut the lead to 7-4, but Upton hit 17th homer, a two-run,
shot off Matt Stites to make it 9-4 in the sixth. The Diamondbacks, plagued by injuries all season, are reeling. “When we were at our place (last month), we played these guys really good,” Gibson said. “We’re capable of doing that.” Notes: The last time Atlanta had a nine-game winning streak was during a 12-game streak that ended last Aug. 9. ... Goldschmidt went 1 for 4 and has reached safely in 26 straight games. He’s hitting .318 with nine doubles, four homers, 12 RBIs and 28 walks during that span. ... Heyward leaped to catch Goldschmidt’s fly ball at the top of the right-field wall in the eighth. ...

somewhere.” The previous time a runner-up won only three games in the Wimbledon final was 1992, when Steffi Graf beat Monica Seles. Before that, it hadn’t happened since 1983, when another Czech lefty, Martina Navratilova, defeated Andrea Jaeger. Just 10 times in the history of a women’s tournament first played in 1884 has a champion ceded fewer games in the final than Kvitova did. Kvitova, who was thrilled to have ninetime champion Navratilova present Saturday, remains the only player born in the 1990s to win a major singles title. Bouchard, 20, would have been the second. Already a semifinalist at the Australian Open and French Open this season but playing in her first Grand Slam final, Bouchard was a little wowed by the occasion. “We were holding flowers instead of our tennis bags,” Bouchard said. “The applause was really loud when we walked out. That’s the main thing that registered in
my mind.” When play began, Kvitova immediately took charge, breaking to lead 2-1 with a crosscourt forehand winner she celebrated by yelping, “Pojd!” — the Czech equivalent of “Come on!” Most points were short, but the next game ended with Kvitova taking a 13-stroke exchange, making two terrific defensive stabs to prolong it, before flicking a crosscourt backhand passing shot on the run. Bouchard got one break back to pull within 5-3, but she wouldn’t win another game. “She played unbelievable and didn’t give me many opportunities to stay in the rally,” Bouchard acknowledged, “or do what I do.” That’s what Kvitova, who will rise to No. 4 in the rankings Monday, is capable of at Wimbledon. “I feel really, like, at home. I mean I was really up and down after my title here 2011,” said Kvitova, who beat Maria Sharapova in straight sets in the final three years ago. “I was still (working) hard, (believing) in myself.”

NASCAR a “bigger window of time to get it in.” The race was supposed to start at 6:57 p.m. Saturday, but showers soaked the 2 ½-mile superspeedway and forced officials to delay the green flag and eventually postpone the race. This is the fourth Cup race affected by rain this season and the second to be postponed a day. Bristol also was affected by rain, and Texas was delayed a day. Despite the latest washout, Chitwood does not want the race moved from
its traditional Saturday night spot around the July Fourth holiday. The race has been run in that spot for 27 years, and prior to that, it went on the annual holiday itself. Chitwood was reminded of what a rainfree event looked like as he watched a replay of last year’s Coke Zero 400 during Saturday’s delay. “The crowd was fantastic and the weather was good and we gave the fans a heck of a show,” he said. “I think July Fourth weekend is a great time.”

said, ‘You need to take this baby.’ I was shocked to say the least,” said Gibbs. “Here I was, a single, divorced woman working nights with 12-hour shifts. What would I possible do with a baby? Where would she sleep? In a dresser drawer? All these things were running through my mind, but her response was simple, ‘love her.’” “Dr. Hsu gave me until 7 a.m. to make up mind,” she added. After speaking with her pastor, Reverend Ronnie Gibbs and close friend, Lynda Kay Gibbs she decided she was indeed willing to take on the responsibility of rearing the child. “Shortly after I married in 1985, I found out I was unable to have children,” she said. “I had it settled in my mind that was the way it was going to be. I wasn’t pining after other peoples babies or even baby-sitting for friends. I wasn’t thinking about it all. So, it was a complete surprise when she came along.” After being granted emergency custody of “Baby Jane Doe” when she was just six days old, the Gary, Ind. native began the lengthy process of adoption. “There was someone else who had an interest in adopting her, but ended up bowing out. She had to be six months old before she could be formally adopted,” said the baby’s adoptive mother. “She’s known as Janessa Hope and legally became mine on April 2, 1997.” Gibbs said she had originally picked the name Lynn after her friend Lynda as Janessa’s middle name. “A friend who used to work with me once said, ‘Sara, that’s your hope for tomorrow’ in reference to Janessa,” said Gibbs, who now works at Methodist Hospital in Germantown, Tenn. “Another former coworker spoke up and suggested I use “Hope” as the baby’s middle name and it stuck. Her first name, I found while reading Jet magazine. One of the brides was named Janessa.” The Corinth resident expressed her appreciation for the support she received through-
department. “I have over 2,500 hours of in-service training, which is unmatched by most candidates,” Dance said. “I have worked hard for this city and, if elected, promise to work even harder as police chief.” Dance, who worked for more than five years as a criminal investigator for the DA’s office, said he plans to use the knowledge for solving crimes in the police department. “I am well trained and highly experienced and ready to protect the people of this city,” he said. Gann currently services as a police captain at the police deparment. “I started at Corinth PD in 1995 and have been promoted up the ranks,” said Gann. “I have the knowledge, skill and ability needed to manage a complex law enforcement organization.” Gann said he will be a visible, hands-on chief with an open door policy. “I will directly communicate with the residents and businesses to discuss community concerns and understand what is most important to the citizens,” he said. “I will also work toward establishing and maintaining a good working relationship with all local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, especially the Alcorn County Sheriff’s Department.” All three candidates believed continued training for officers is very important. Democratic candidates Dance and Gann go head-tohead in the primary election on Sept. 16. The winner will move on to the general election on Oct. 14 to face Republican candidate Gooch. Other prospective candidates still have time to declare candidacy. The official deadline to submit required paperwork is set for 5 p.m., on July 18.

Janessa and Sara Gibbs reminisce over their scrapbook. out her journey into motherhood. “You would not believe how much support I had,” said Janessa’s mom. “Pediatrician Dr. Victor Lutz would prolong her hospital stay everyday by ordering more tests to give me a chance to get everything settled. He showed up with a car seat the day I took her home and said, ‘Man, I’m glad this is over. I was running out of tests to order.’” After a long period of consideration, Gibbs decided it was time to tell Janessa she was adopted and did so when she was four years old. “Her first question to me was ‘why didn’t my mother want me?’ I told her it was probably that she just couldn’t afford to keep her,” said Gibbs. The now 56-year-old mother said it was the right decision to make. “I wouldn’t have hidden it from her, not for anything in this world,” she said. “She often flips through the scrapbook that contains pictures and newspaper clippings about when she was found and has since she was little. I know she wonders who she came from.” “I do wonder a lot,” chimed in a clearly emotional Janessa, who will turn 18 years old on
July 11. Over the years when asked what kind of mother could abandon her child, Gibbs has answered, “She did it for me.” “If I could see her now, I would just thank her. I would want her to know Janessa was well taken care of, that she is loved and is everyone’s baby,” she said. “I would not be upset if she were to see this and contact the newspaper. I would share with her what has transpired in Janessa’s life.” After getting married in 2000, Gibbs wrote a letter to her daughter’s birth mother as part of an essay contest at Magnolia Regional Health Center. Writers were instructed to pen an essay describing the “love of their life”. Gibbs was deemed the winner of the contest. Her opening words expressed gratitude toward the mysterious birth mother. You don’t know me, but I have a part of you before me everyday, a constant reminder of someone I don’t even know. For you see I have the baby girl you left on the doctor’s doorstep. I think of you often and that is what has prompted me to write this letter. I thank God and you too for the most precious gift I could have ever received. She is truly
the love of my life. Janessa has a kind heart, a beautiful spirit and sincere love and respect for God. She knows how to love unconditionally, regardless of color or station in life. Gibbs ended the letter by signing it, From Janessa’s mom to her mom. Described by her mother as a shy, well-mannered inquisitive child with a good heart, Janessa is now 17 years old. She recently graduated from Corinth High School where she was a member of the dance team and chorus. She will begin classes at Northeast Mississippi Community College in the fall to pursue a degree in speech pathology. In her spare time, she enjoys dancing, shopping for clothes and experimenting with makeup. Sara Gibb’s essay ended with this message: True love is unconditional, it understands and is understanding. It has no boundaries, is unselfish and love makes no plans, it just happens. Love can come in many forms, mine came in the form of a 7-pound, 7-ounce baby girl.

WASHINGTON — There may be more to that “we the people” notion than you thought. These are boom times for the concept of “corporate personhood.” Corporations are people? Mitt Romney got mocked during the 2012 presidential campaign for the very idea. But it turns out the principle has been lurking in U.S. law for more than a century, and the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, gave it more oomph this week when it ruled that certain businesses are entitled to exercise religious rights, just as do people. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court’s majority, said protecting the religious rights of closely held corporations, which are often small, family-run businesses, “protects the religious liberty of the humans who own and control them.” In its ruling, the court said closely held corporations with religious objections cannot be forced to pay for their employees’ insurance coverage for contraception, as required under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Four years earlier, the corporations-as-people idea got another big boost when the court voted 5-4 to expand the free speech rights of businesses and labor unions by striking down limits on their political spending. That unleashed a massive flood of private money into political campaigns.
The rulings have triggered renewed debate over the idea of corporations as people, which surfaces in legal cases stretching back to the 1880s. There are wonky legal discussions about the differences between “artificial persons” (corporations) and “natural persons” (the kind with flesh and blood). TV comics riff on the notion that fake people have more rights than real people. There’s a petition drive to amend the Constitution to ensure that “inalienable rights belong to human beings only.” ■■■
All of this calls for a brief reality check: Corporations really aren’t people. Everyone knows this. Even Romney, who was criticized for being out of touch when he famously told a protester that “corporations are people, my friend.” The point the GOP presidential candidate was trying to make was that raising taxes on corporations would affect real people because “everything corporations earn ultimately goes back to people.” The Supreme Court was reasoning in a similar vein when it ruled that the real people who run closely held corporations should be able to exercise religious rights just as do individuals. ■■■
Alito, in his ruling, described the concept of corporate personhood as “a familiar legal fiction” that retains its usefulness.
“It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of this fiction is to provide protection for human beings,” he wrote. But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in her dissent, zinged Alito and the majority for “an expansive notion of corporate personhood.” She said the “startling breadth” of the court’s ruling could clear the way for corporations to opt out of all sorts of other legal requirements if they can cite a religious objection. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2016, voiced similar concerns. “Just think about this for a minute,” she said. “It’s the first time that our court has said that a closely held corporation has the rights of a person when it comes to religious freedom.” Some opponents of the ruling see the expanding view of corporate personhood as a legal fiction run amok. They say the latest court ruling could encourage corporations to try to claim greater rights in other areas as well — arguing against cruel and unusual punishment if they think a fine is too big, for example, or even seeking a corporate right to bear arms. The courts already have extended to corporations Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches but have declined to provide them Fifth Amendment protection from self-incrimination. After the Supreme Court’s 2010 campaign
finance ruling, attorney Burt Neuborne lamented: “At the rate the court is going, soon we will be able to be adopted by a corporation. Maybe even marry one.” Now, Neuborne calls the latest court ruling “an immense perversion of the Constitution. Robots don’t have rights, trees don’t have rights, and neither do corporations.” He warned that the ruling could backfire against corporations if the court goes too far in extending individual rights to businesses. Breaching the wall between corporations and their shareholders, he said, could ultimately make corporations liable for the actions of their shareholders and vice versa. For example, if Hobby Lobby, one of the companies that sued against covering some forms of contraception, owed someone money, its creditors might try to go after the shareholders, he said. “I suspect there’s going to be trouble in paradise down the road,” said Neuborne, who wrote a brief for the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s School of Law arguing against extending religious rights to businesses. Attorney John Bursch, a former Michigan solicitor general, said it makes sense that corporations have some of the same rights as individuals. After the court extended free-speech rights to corporations, “it’s not a big leap to say that a First Amendment protection with respect to religious liberty would also apply to a corporation,” he said.

Graceland may remove Presley’s old airplanes BY ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — For 30 years, tourists from around the world have paid money to get a look at two airplanes once owned by Elvis Presley at Graceland in Memphis. Fans enjoy touring the planes for their direct connection to Presley and his jet-setting lifestyle, a sort of touchstone to the life of the King of Rock and Roll and his family. By April of next year, the planes named Lisa Marie and Hound Dog II could be gone. Elvis Presley Enterprises, which operates the Graceland tourist attraction, has written to the planes’ owners saying they should prepare to remove the jets from Graceland by next spring. The planes have been a tourist attraction since the mid-1980s. They had been sold after Presley’s
death, and were eventually purchased by OKC Partnership in Memphis. OKC Partnership and Graceland agreed to bring the two jets to Graceland. The agreement called for OKC Partnership to receive a cut of ticket sales in return for keeping the planes there. In an April 7 letter to OKC Partnership’s K.G. Coker, Elvis Presley Enterprises CEO Jack Soden says the company is exercising its option to end the agreement and asks Coker “to make arrangements for the removal of the airplanes and the restoration of the site on or shortly after April 26, 2015.” Their removal could cause an uproar among fans, especially those who visit Graceland every year as part of an annual pilgrimage to events such as Elvis Week and the candlelight vigil commemorating Presley’s death.
Cryptoquip
Dedicated Elvis fan Paul Fivelson of Algonquin, Illinois, says he expects many fans will be upset to hear the planes may be leaving. “The people who come to Memphis for Elvis Week like seeing those planes there because it’s just part of the whole aura of what Elvis was about,” Fivelson said Tuesday. “It would be kind of blasphemous to take them away, and I think there are probably a lot of fans who will feel the same way.” The disclosure also raises questions about the future use of the site where the airplanes now sit, across the street from Presley’s longtime home. Elvis Presley Enterprises declined immediate comment. In November, New York-based Authentic Brands Group bought Elvis Presley Enterprises and the licensing and
merchandising rights for Presley’s music and image from CORE Media Group. As part of the deal, Joel Weinshanker, founder of the National Entertainment Collectibles Association, acquired the operating rights to Graceland, which attracts about 500,000 visitors each year. After the sale, Authentic Brands said upgrades to the tourist attraction were planned. Earlier this year, Elvis Presley Enterprises announced plans to build a 450-room hotel, theater and restaurant, with a projected opening date of August 2015. Their plan was approved Tuesday by the Memphis City Council. Today, Graceland visitors can buy a ticket that includes a tour of Presley’s home-turned-museum and the two airplanes. Fans climb into the airplanes for an up-close
chandise chain, according to Coker. The Hound Dog II was in the hands of Hustler head Larry Flynt for a time, Coker said. OKC Partnership eventually bought the planes and the Lisa Marie was installed at Graceland in 1984. The Hound Dog II came later. Coker, 76, says OKC may sell the planes if they’re removed from Graceland, but he still hopes to negotiate a deal that would keep the planes there. Coker acknowledges that he and his partners would lose money from ticket sales if the planes were removed. “I would love to see the airplanes stay where they are forever,” Coker said. “Millions of fans have toured those airplanes and there’s a real connection between fans and those airplanes. Those airplanes are part of the Elvis experience.”
Maroon 5 singer Levine changes his tune in new ‘Begin Again’ BY JAKE COYLE Associated Press

look at their interiors. The larger plane, a Convair 880 named after Presley’s daughter Lisa Marie, is like a customized flying limousine, complete with a large bed, a stereo system, conference room and gold-plated bathroom fixtures. It was renovated after Presley bought it from Delta Air Lines. Presley took his first flight on it in November 1975. When Presley died on Aug. 16, 1977, Presley’s pilot flew the Lisa Marie to California to pick up Presley’s ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, to bring her back to Memphis. The smaller jet, a JetStar named the Hound Dog II, was also used by Presley. At one point, after the planes were sold following the singer’s death, the Lisa Marie was owned by Raymond Zimmerman, owner of the Service Mer-
NEW YORK — Adam Levine knows pop starsturned-actors are greeted suspiciously. And he’s hesitant to make any grandiose declarations about suddenly transforming into an actor. But he also can’t help himself. Following his movie debut in the recently released “Begin Again,” the Maroon 5 frontman is exuberant about a potentially budding movie career. “It really made me fall in love,” said Levine about “Begin Again” in a recent interview. “It’s the very beginning of something really cool.” The transition is unusually seamless for Levine in “Begin Again,” a naturalistic indie about musicians in New York by “Once” director John Carney. Levine plays an aspiring musician, the boyfriend to a singersongwriter played by Keira Knightley. But it’s his breakthrough that’s brought them to New York, and his fast-growing fame pulls the couple apart.
“I had been through that before, maybe not the same version,” says Levine of the tumult of sudden fame. “That’s what connected me to this guy. I immediately understood exactly what needed to be done with this character just based on my life’s experience.” The 35-year-old Levine grew up in Los Angeles, so acting in movies was, he says, always “somewhere in the back of my mind.” Carney approached him about the film and Levine jumped at the chance, working for little pay. “I knew that I would try doing it,” he says. “Because of the other wonderful things that have happened in my life and my career, I’d been given the opportunity to try it. I thought to myself, ‘Well, I’m going to try it. I’m not going to not try it.’” Levine, of course, is familiar with working in front of the camera. Aside from music videos for Maroon 5 and a cameo on “30 Rock,” he’s been a judge on NBC’s “The Voice” since 2011. He also played an arc as a newlywed visiting an
insane asylum on FX’s “American Horror Story” in 2012. “He’s so confident and he’s such a natural entertainer and he’s very comfortable on camera because he does that show and he’s made lots of music videos,” says Knightley. “He kept claiming he didn’t know what he was doing, but it looked like he knew exactly what he was doing to me.” Though “Begin Again” represents a more substantial shift into acting for Levine, he drew heavily from his day job. In one of the film’s most moving scenes, Levine performs the original song “Lost Stars” while Knightley’s character looks on. The song, which Levine wrote with former New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander, will be pushed for an Oscar by the film’s distributor, the Weinstein Co. “Everything about the things that I experienced while making this movie just felt very real,” says Levine. “It never felt pretend. It always felt like we were making a documentary.”
Review: ‘Evil’ mostly delivers on scares BY JOHN DEFORE The Hollywood Reporter
LOS ANGELES — A serial-killer mystery in which the culprit turns out to be one of Satan’s minions, Scott Derrickson’s “Deliver Us From Evil” adapts the detective genre to an exorcism tale that is very serious about the prospect of demonic possession. Though based on claims made by reallife NYPD officer-turnedparanormal investigator Ralph Sarchie (played here by Eric Bana), the picture is stolen by a fictional character — a composite religious figure played with a predictable level of smolder by “Carlos” star Edgar Ramirez. More aesthetically coherent if less frightening than the director’s 2012 hit “Sinister,” the pic has a shot at surpassing that outing commercially by virtue of its appeal to devout Catholics. That audience will find “Evil” very respectful of their faith, though its nods to religion are genre-appropriate and never preachy enough to alienate the average horror fan. Sarchie, a cop who covers the South Bronx with partner Butler (Joel McHale), is proud of an internal “radar” that steers him away from mundane radio calls and toward the juicy cases. But an inci-
dent in which a deranged mother threw her toddler into the Bronx Zoo’s lion pit is juicier than usual, with a mysterious, bloodstained bystander disrupting the investigation before vanishing. Still, Sarchie is ready to write the mother off as a garden-variety psycho even when a priest, Ramirez’s Mendoza, shows up to insist on a more complicated explanation. Only after other crimes prove to share both tangible connections (tracing to three Marines who had a disturbing encounter during the Iraq war) and supernatural overtones does Sarchie admit there may be something to this chain-smoking, whiskeydrinking priest’s claim. Maybe, the lapsed-Catholic cop starts to worry, the man they’re hunting really is possessed. Enjoyably, this particular case isn’t limited to one spirit-controlled victim terrorizing his family and friends. “Poltergeisty” aftereffects haunt the places and people he has visited — even Sarchie, who is plagued by shockcut hallucinations and whose house has become a very scary place for his young daughter. (Olivia Munn, playing Sarchie’s wife, tries to comfort the poor girl, but the film ratchets up her bump-in-
the-night torment.) The investigation yields some appreciably icky encounters with putrefying corpses and deranged prisoners, which is good considering the sometimes flimsy cop-movie stuff that surrounds the scares. Bulked-up McHale, who acquits himself well in action scenes, gets the kind of jadedly quippy dialogue one can imagine him parodying on “Community”; Munn’s part could have been scripted by cut-andpasting any of a hundred other neglected-policeman’s-wife characters. While the supernatural side of the film suffers a flaw or two, its central conflict works. Ramirez, shaggy enough to be the Serpico of exorcists but exuding calm wisdom instead of obsessive determination, makes faith look cool. His seriousness enables the movie’s desire to dig into the mechanics of the climactic exorcism — though Sean Harris, drooling and growling and threatening as the possessed man, deserves credit as well. “Deliver Us From Evil,” a Sony release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “bloody violence, grisly images, terror throughout, and language.” Running time: 118 minutes.
