A year after a deadly shootout that police believe to be gang-re-lated, an Alcorn County Grand Jury returned two murder in-dictments in the case.

The two men indicted are Marcus McGaha, 27, and Ced-ric Gunn, 27. The grand jury re-

turned a two-count indictment for each suspect with one count of murder and one count of con-spiracy to commit murder.

McGaha, whose last address on record was on North Johns Street, was already in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections at the Mississippi State Penitentiary on two sen-

tences for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Gunn, who previously had a Meigg Street address, had left the area. He was picked up in Reno, Ne-vada, based on the indictment and for a probation violation on local charges in Nevada. Extra-dition to Corinth is pending.

After a long day of distur-

bances in the city on April 4, 2015, a chaotic scene at the Nashway Apartments resulted in the deaths of Ahmarus Ra-kim Swinney, 25, and Deonta Dwayne Herman, 22. Police initially found 79 rounds at the scene fi red from at least four dif-

Woody Harrell was named Time Magazine “Man of the Year” in 1966 — the year they gave the award to everyone in the world under age 25. The 68-year-old avid runner has been a Corinth resident for the past 13 years. He and his wife of 40 years, Cynthia, finished first in their age groups in the recent Coke 10K. Following 22 years as superintendent of Shiloh National Military Park, Harrell retired after the battle’s 150th anniversary to free up time to hike the entire 2,184-mile Appalachian Trail. He and his wife did so in a 5 1/2-month period in 2012. Harrell completed his lifetime goal of visiting every national park in 2013. Ten parks have since been added, so he is back on that trail.

Gang members who commit criminal activity could serve ex-tra time.

The Corinth Police Depart-ment plans to pursue the sen-tencing enhancement available for criminal activity that can be tied to gang members.

“These two would probably

be a prime example,” Police Chief Ralph Dance said of the two men indicted for murder in connection with the April 2015 shootout. “I feel comfortable in saying both of them had gang ties and we will at some point be able to impose a stiff er sentence on them and possibly others

Residents of the Afton subdi-vision in North Corinth won the sympathy of the Corinth Plan-ning Commission on Monday as they said “not in my back yard” to a proposed commercial development.

West in the 1A/2A con-test to get things started at 1:30 p.m. Squads in 3A/5A will hit the dia-mond at 4 p.m. The 4A/6A contest is set for 6:30 p.m.

All three games will be seven-inning aff airs. The board voted to add a third game last year.

Jesse Bynum Field had been home to the NEM-CABB All-Star Game for 25 years. The initial con-test was played at the fi eld on June 8, 1991. The game -- which was to be played at South Pontotoc in 1992 -- was such a suc-cess, Corinth was chosen to be the permanent site for the game.

“It has always been in Corinth and it needs to stay here,” added Smillie.

NEMCABB’s board of directors go all out in making the weekend a highlight for players. Each player on all six squads will be treated to a lun-cheon, T-shirt and plaque.

The game came about

in December of 1989. While at a baseball clinic at Itawamba Community College, a group of North-east Mississippi coaches discussed the idea of an all-star game to help ex-pose more area players to both college and pro scouts.

In the summer of 1990 while working at the same camp, the coaches put their idea into action by establishing the North-east Mississippi Coaches Association for Better Baseball or NEMCABB.

In trying to establish a consistent area to select players, it was decided to use the Tupelo Daily Journal coverage area as its boundaries. The area was divided into East and West using U.S. Highway 45 from the Tennessee State line to Shannon, and U.S. Alternate 45 from Shannon on south. Origi-nally, 14 players and two alternates were chosen from each side (1A-5A) and only one nine-inning game was played. It was decided only seniors eligi-

ble for graduation would be able to participate.

As the NEMCABB area grew over the years and to allow more players the opportunity to par-ticipate, it was decided to expand to a pair of seven inning games in 1999 – one game for the 1A/2A schools and one for the 3A/4A/5A teams. In 2006, the rosters were expanded and the games went to nine innings.

Corinth and Alcorn County will be hugely represented on Satur-day. Former Biggersville High School player Will Lowery has been named the NEMCABB Coach of the Year in 1A. Kossuth mentor Josh Dowdy will receive the same honor in Class 3A.

Kossuth’s Jacob Wilcher has been named the 3A Player of the Year.

Alcorn Central’s coach-ing staff of Jarrad Rob-inson and Eric Lancaster will be charge of the East squad in the 3A/5A con-test. Former Corinth player and current Boon-

eville head coach Kevin Williams will coach the West team in 3A/5A.

Alcorn Central play-ers Connor Lewis, Justin Pickle, Colton Howell and Saylor Gray will suit up for the East. Kossuth’s Wilcher, Hunter Swindle, Elijah Potts, Connar Boy-er and Reed Mitchell are part of the West.

Corinth Head Coach Rob Scarbrough and as-sistants Ben Cowart, Jordan Watts and Tony Hardwick will lead the East in the 4A/6A game.

CHS players Quade Reaves, Noah Hill and Josh Casey are part of East unit.

Following each game, a MVP, Best Off ense, Best Defense and Memorial Award will be presented to a player from both the East and West team.

The 3A/5A memorial award has been renamed the Riley Presley Memori-al Award for the longtime Booneville High School football and baseball coach who passed away in December of 2015.

who are tied to this case.”The enhancement in-

creases the underlying charge by up to one-half. A 10-year sentence could have another fi ve years added.

Law enforcement must show a gang con-nection, and the police department is already doing the legwork for fu-ture cases.

“We are starting to identify gang members

in the city,” said Dance.It is one way the police

department hopes to de-ter the increase in gang activity.

“We’re trying to send a message to these gang members that we are no longer going to tolerate the activities they have been putting on — the shootings, the violence, the dope trade,” said Dance. “We are going to actively seek them out and ask the court to pun-ish them appropriately.”

Ralph Dance said he knows it has been a long wait for the grieving families as investigators sorted out the challeng-ing case.

“There were people that were getting shot at that would not come for-ward and cooperate,” he said. “It made it very dif-fi cult to get to this point.”

Based on the autopsy results and investigation,

Dance said it appears that Herman accidental-ly shot himself as he fl ed the scene. The bullet was on a downward trajec-tory, entering and then exiting his leg.

“It appears as he was running and maybe try-ing to put the gun back in his waistband, the gun discharged,” Dance said. “It cut the artery in his leg and he bled out.”

Herman was found be-hind the apartment com-plex with the gun under his body.

The other deceased subject, Swinney, ap-pears to have simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

“He just happened to walk up a few min-utes prior to this shoot-out taking place,” said Dance. “He was actually sitting on a fl ight of stairs minding his own busi-ness and just happened to get caught in the cross-fi re.”

Swinney was hit twice and died at the hospital.

Of the initial suspects

in the case, one was later murdered in Marshall County, Dance said.

The investigation is still open, and other ar-rests are possible.

“It has been an ongo-ing investigation from day one,” said Dance. “Capt. Dell Green and his staff have done an outstanding job putting it together. We feel com-fortable that we have two of the people involved in the shooting in custody and they will be brought to justice.”

men. It goes to the city board on June 7.

The 10 acres — part of a larger 20-acre parcel — was proposed to be di-vided into four 2.47-acre lots that would be put on the market. Approxi-mately 1 acre between the site and Afton would be deeded to the home-owners association for additional buff er.

“We are not here to do anything to jeopardize the value of the property in the Afton community,” said Gerald Hill, repre-senting Hill Brothers, which is the developer of Afton.

Hill Brothers has a sub-stantial amount of prop-erty left for residential development in Afton and is a dues-paying member of the homeowners asso-ciation. It would not make sense to do something to hurt their own invest-ment, he said.

Hill Brothers pro-posed to set restrictions in the property deeds that would prohibit “box buildings” and other types of undesirable de-velopment, but residents expressed concern that those guarantees might not hold over time. Resi-dents are also concerned that businesses such as liquor stores and laun-dromats are allowed in C-1 zoning.

The commission re-ceived numerous written letters in opposition along with a large showing of residents at the meeting.

Representing the homeowners association, Lee Childress said the overwhelming sentiment “is this is not what we are interested in having in our back yard. I’m not go-ing to say that there could not be some type of agree-ment that was reached, but the issue that I still stand by is what is being asked for here tonight, which is C-1, and we are opposed to C-1 as it is presently written.”

He also expressed con-cern about the entrance of the property, which would be in the area of the divided highway.

It was suggested that the variance approach, one lot at a time, could be more successful for Hill Brothers. If the property remains zoned R-1 resi-dential, a variance could be granted for commer-cial use, but it would only be for the specifi c pur-pose stated in the appli-cation.

Hill Brothers is inter-ested in seeing businesses such as a small grocery or bank on the property.

Hill said he had told the homeowners association that the company would look to sell the land if the zoning change is not ap-proved.

JACKSON — A defense attorney said Monday that he expects a Missis-sippi prosecutor to re-duce the second-degree murder charge against a man arrested last week when his 8-month-old daughter died after being left in a hot car.

Carlos Moore is the at-torney for Joshua Blunt, 25, of Grenada, who is set to make an initial court appearance Tuesday.

Moore said city pros-ecutor Jennifer Adams told him she would re-duce Blunt’s charge to culpable negligence, which is punishable by

a maximum one year in prison. The maximum penalty for second-de-gree murder is life in prison.

Blunt’s daughter, Sha-nia Caradine, died Thurs-day. She was the second Mississippi child to die in a hot car within two weeks. No charges have been brought against a parent in the other case.

Blunt was booked into the Grenada County Jail early Friday and re-mained there Monday under a $250,000 bond. Moore said he will ask a city judge to either re-duce or remove the bond so Blunt could be re-leased. Moore also said he will fi ght the reduced

charge.“He made a mistake,”

Moore said. “It was a tragic mistake. It was a fatal mistake. But it was an accident.”

Blunt went to work at a restaurant Thursday morning, then took a break to pick up his girl-friend and their baby, Moore said. Blunt took his girlfriend to work at a fast-food restaurant and was supposed to drop off the baby at his girl-friend’s mother’s house.

“He intended to take the child to the grand-mother’s house, but somehow he forgot,” Moore said.

Blunt went back to work for about four

hours, and when he and a colleague went to his car, the colleague discovered the unresponsive baby in the back seat, Moore said. They took Shania inside the restaurant and put cool towels on her to await an ambulance that took her to the Universi-ty of Mississippi Medical Center Grenada.

Janette Fennell, founder and president of the Kansas-based Kid-sAndCars.Org, said that between 1990 and 2015, charges were brought in 45.5 percent of cases involving the deaths of children in hot cars in the U.S., and no charges were brought in 44.5 per-cent of cases.

Booneville

Schools celebrate success in reading

BOONEVILLE — The Prentiss County School District celebrated major success on the state-mandated third grade reading test by honoring those whose hard work contributed to the posi-tive results.

The district ranked in the top 10 statewide for performance on the test. All third graders in the state took the exam this spring and are required to pass it, dem-onstrating they are read-ing at grade level, before they can advance to the fourth grade. Hills Cha-pel Elementary School was one of only eight schools across the state to have all students pass the test on the first try. Thrasher School achieved a 100 percent passage rate after the first retest opportunity last week.

Baldwyn School Dis-trict also saw significant success on the exam, achieving the state’s highest passage rate.

The Prentiss County School Board recognized the district’s third grade reading teachers, tutors, interventionists and others who contributed to the success with a presentation of plaques and certificates prior to the start of Monday’s regular board meeting.

District Curriculum Coordinator Kim Hamm said district officials are thrilled with the results because they show strong progress and a commitment by all involved to make sure students are ready to be successful as they move through school.

“We were ecstatic with our scores,” she said.

She emphasized success comes only through the hard work of everyone who comes in contact with the stu-

dents and said the dis-trict is filled with faculty members who go far be-yond the call of duty be-cause of a love for their students and a desire to ensure they succeed.

Tupelo

Inaugural career expo scheduled

TUPELO — CREATE Foundation, in partner-ship with presenting sponsor, Toyota Well-spring Education Fund, is proud to announce this year’s “Imagine the Possibilities” Career Expo scheduled for Octo-ber 4-6, 2016. This year, the expo is designed to engage and empower

over 7,500 eight graders in 17 Northeast Missis-sippi counties.

“We believe this initia-tive is one piece of the workforce development puzzle and an important part of helping students understand the op-portunities available to them,” said a CREATE spokesperson. “Last year, the expo reached about 3,500 eighth graders and a hundred at-risk youth from seven counties in Northeast Mississippi.”

“We need your help to make this year’s event all it can be. Please con-sider being a sponsor. We are fortunate the Toyota Wellspring Educa-tion Fund is the leading sponsor as this allows us to offer sponsorships at about half the level of a similar event held on the Mississippi Gulf Coast,” they continued. “Your sponsorship helps provide materials for each 8th grade student attending.”

Items include:• A brochure which

mirrors Pathway sig-nage, identifies jobs, and education/training requirements and salary expectations within each career field

• Student Bag for ma-terials and information received during the event

• Imagine the Possibil-ities Career Expo T-shirt

In addition to the ma-terials for each student, there are significant costs associated with the facility rental and supplies to make this event occur.

Those who wish to become a sponsor must make a commitment by June 1 for Diamond, Platinum, and Gold sponsorships, and Au-gust 1 for all other levels to be included in the materials (brochures, t-shirts, student bags and other signage) for the event.

McNairy Co.

Program to increase access to education

McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam has announced Advise TN, a program to increase the number of students accessing higher edu-cation by providing col-lege counselors to 30 public high schools and

10,000 junior and senior students across the state this fall.

The new initiative, administered by the Ten-nessee Higher Educa-tion Commission (THEC), supports the state’s Drive to 55 campaign to increase the number of Tennesseans with a postsecondary degree or credential to 55 per-cent by 2025.

“As a result of Ten-nessee Promise, first-time freshmen enroll-ment has increased 25 percent at community colleges. We are chang-ing the conversation in Tennessee around going to college, and there’s more we can do,” Haslam said. “Re-search tells us that having a school-wide culture of college-going – of students knowing that college isn’t only an option for them but it’s an expectation – is one of the best indicators of whether students will pursue higher education. This program will provide schools across the state with one more adult in students’ lives, focused on helping them navi-gate the transition from high school to college.”

Partner high schools will be selected through a competitive process based on a strong com-mitment to building a college-going culture. To be eligible for consider-ation, high schools must have a college-going rate that is less than the state average.

College advisors are being hired and trained this summer and will be placed with partner schools in fall 2016. They will work alongside the school’s counselors, educators, parents and local partners to imple-ment college-access best practices and fos-ter the school’s college-going culture, devise creative approaches to reach and connect with students, and, most importantly, assist stu-dents and their families as they navigate the college-going process. Advisors will supple-ment, not replace, exist-ing high school counsel-ing staff.

“Advise TN will comple-ment the programs that have emerged statewide through the Drive to 55 by providing more resources, time, and in-dividual focus to ensure postsecondary access and success,” THEC’s

interim executive director Russ Deaton said. “We are all looking forward to this expanded school-level collaboration and ensuring that Tennes-see’s college enrollment continues to grow.”

 

Oxford

Author plans to use time for latest novel

OXFORD — Tom Frank-lin, a celebrated novelist and University of Missis-sippi associate profes-sor of fiction writing, is a 2016 recipient of the Berlin Prize, which the American Academy in Berlin awards to schol-ars, writers and artists. The prize includes a semester-long fellowship in Germany.

Franklin, who has taught at UM since 2003, is among 23 re-cipients of the prize and will begin his fellowship this fall. He will work on a novel, which is current-ly titled “Country Dark,” about a rural Alabama police officer named Rick Miller who mainly investigates farm-related crimes. While probing a strange animal death, Miller, who is referred to as “The Cow Man,” uncovers something entirely unexpected, in-cluding a connection to a cultish church with an interesting past.

The Berlin Prize is awarded annually to art-ists, scholars, compos-ers and artists from the United States who rep-resent the highest stan-dards of excellence in their fields. The prize’s fellowship includes a monthly stipend, partial board and accommoda-tions at the academy’s lakeside Hans Arnhold Center in Berlin-Wann-see.

The program is designed to allow re-cipients the time and resources to step back from their daily obliga-tions to work on projects they might not otherwise be able to pursue. The fellows are urged to work with the academy’s network of profession-als and institutions and create connections and lasting transatlantic rela-tionships.

The fellows will use public lectures, con-certs, performances and readings, which take place at the academy but also throughout Berlin and Germany, to engage audiences.

JACKSON — Campaigns are gearing up in some Mis-sissippi cities, even though elections for mayors, alder-men and city council mem-bers are a year away in most places.

Jackson is likely to see one of the hardest-fought contests for chief executive. Two well-known politicians, Robert Graham and Chokwe Antar Lumumba, said last week that

they will try to unseat fi rst-term Democratic Mayor Tony Yarber, and more are likely to enter the race.

Graham worked 35 years for the Jackson Police Department and has been a Hinds County supervisor since 2007. Lumumba is an attorney and son of the late Mayor Chok-we Lumumba, a human rights lawyer who served on the City Council before winning Jackson’s top job in 2013.

The elder Lumumba died in February 2014 after almost eight months in offi ce, and his son was among the candidates in a special election to fi ll the rest of the four-year term. Yarber, a minister and City Council member, won that race but has dealt with a plethora of diffi cult issues in the city of 171,000, includ-ing water-quality problems and aging infra-structure. In a city with a 79 percent black population, the winner of the Democratic primary is likely to win the general election for mayor.

In Hattiesburg, Democratic Mayor Johnny DuPree has already said he intends to seek a fi fth term in 2017 — and if that election cycle is anything like the last one, he won’t have it easy. After DuPree won the June 2013 election, Republican candidate Dave Ware challenged the outcome. A judge cited vot-ing irregularities and ordered a new election in September 2013. DuPree again defeated Ware.

During this term, DuPree has been sued by City Council members who said he was too slow to appoint a police chief and department leaders in the city of 47,000.

Bill Luckett, the Democratic mayor of Clarksdale, told The Associated Press on Friday that he plans to seek a second term in 2017. He said tourism is thriving with travelers from Australia, England and other countries who are seeking an authentic Mis-sissippi Delta blues experience.

“We’re continuing to enjoy downtown revi-talization and rejuvenation,” said Luckett, an attorney who co-owns a blues club with actor Morgan Freeman.

Luckett lost the 2011 Democratic primary for governor to DuPree, but he won all four wards in the 2013 city election. He is an anomaly in Mississippi politics — a white mayor in a city with a 79 percent black popu-lation.

Former state Rep. Chuck Espy told the AP in a separate interview Friday that he hasn’t ruled out running for mayor of Clarksdale next year. He lost to Luckett in the 2013 Democratic primary in a race to succeed his father, Henry Espy, who was the city’s fi rst black mayor and served 28 years.

“I have a lot of soul searching to do and a lot of talking to do with the people of Clarks-dale,” said Chuck Espy, who served 16 years in the state House and chose not to seek an-other term in 2015.

“Whoever is elected, they have to listen and hear the 80 percent of African-Ameri-cans that live in town,” Espy said of the may-or’s contest. “That 80 percent has not been heard.”

Luckett countered: “I don’t ever look at race. I try to be fair to everybody.”

He removed the Mississippi fl ag from Clarksdale City Hall last July, saying he be-lieves its Confederate battle emblem is divi-sive. Although he has been criticized by fl ag supporters, Luckett said last week he wishes he had removed it sooner.

Mayor’s races shaping up

Prayer for today

A verse to share

STARKVILLE — In writ-ing a book about the beloved broadcaster Jack Cristil fi ve years ago, I learned more about tuberculosis than I ever thought I would and in the process, I learned that the although the disease has been in steady decline for a number of years, health care professionals still worry about TB making a come-back around the world and in Mississippi.

Cristil, a heavy smoker from the days of his youth in Memphis until his death in 2014 in Tupelo, was never affl icted with TB. But the disease still scarred his life and deeply impacted the life of his father, Benjamin Cris-til.

Jack Cristil’s relationship with his father was complex. Benjamin Cristil contracted tuberculosis soon after his marriage and was sent to a sanatorium in Denver, Colo-rado, for treatment. The el-der Cristil would make a few trips home to visit his wife and children, but he spent the majority of Jack’s life battling tuberculosis before his death in 1939 when Jack was but 13 years old.

The Mayo Clinic defi nes tuberculosis as “a poten-tially serious infectious dis-ease that primarily aff ects your lungs. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from person to per-

son through tiny drop-lets released into the air t h r o u g h coughs and sneezes.”

In the late 1800s and into the fi rst half of the

next century, tuberculosis was a widely misunderstood and feared disease that was commonly called “consump-tion” because of the nature in which the disease “con-sumed” its victims through weight loss, fever, night sweats and “frequent blood-tinged sputum.” Victims of tuberculosis were feared as carriers and referred to through the term of derision “lungers.” Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the 19th century.

While family records are unclear as to the exact date that Benjamin Cristil began his treatment in the Denver sanatorium, there is little doubt where Cristil received his treatment. By virtue of his Jewish faith, his humble economic circumstances and his growing family, it’s almost certain that Benja-min Cristil fi rst received his sanatorium treatment at National Jewish Hospital in Denver – a project that was funded by the national Jew-ish organization B’nai B’rith.

A September 2004 study by the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment documents the opening of the National Jewish Hospital in Denver in 1899 as the “fi rst sanato-rium in the state (of Colo-rado) and perhaps in the country that was dedicated to treatment of indigent TB patients. Its motto was “None May Enter Who Can Pay – None Can Pay Who Enter.” National Jewish pri-marily accepted “incipient” TB cases or those who were likely to recover, according to the 2004 Colorado DPHE study.

Yet both of Jack’s sisters, Zelda and Miriam, remem-bered that letters from their father in Colorado and the return mail to him from their home in Memphis bore the address “Spivak, Colo-rado” that was the location of the Sanatorium of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society that was founded in 1904 by Dr. Charles David Spivak, a Russian Jew, to ac-commodate the many Jew-ish consumptives who did not seem likely to recover but had nowhere else to go.

Jack Cristil was a small boy during these years, and his memories were scant of the specifi cs of his father’s illness. “All I know is that he spent fi ve or six years in a sanatorium in Denver,

Colorado, and that he died there,” said Jack. “They shipped his body home on the train.” The elder Cristil died July 18, 1939, at the age of 51 and was interred in the historic Baron Hirsch Jewish Cemetery in Mem-phis.

Hasn’t TB been cured? While the disease had de-clined, it still threatens us in Mississippi. In 2014, the TB case rate declined from 3.02 to 2.96 per 100,000 persons, representing a 2.2 percent decrease from 2013. In Mississippi, the rate de-clined to 2.47 per 100,000 persons.

In the long run, TB has declined among blacks and whites in the state, but there has been a spike in the in-cidence of TB among Afri-can Americans since 2013. In 2015, Mississippi had 74 cases of TB – and 19 or 24 percent of patients were white, 51 or 69 percent were black, and fi ve or seven per-cent were Asian.

In Mississippi, the high-est TB case rates in 2014 were in Pontotoc, LeFlore, Yalobusha, Yazoo, Hinds, Adams, Jeff erson, Walthall, Lawrence and Greene coun-ties. Over half the state’s counties had no reported TB cases.

Tuberculosis still a scourge in Mississippi

The Delta can capitalize on music tourism.

The new Grammy Muse-um in Cleveland is a big step in that direction.

The $20 million, 28,000-square-foot mu-seum opened in March with two dozen exhibits and a 130-seat theater. Each month the museum, located on the Delta State University campus, brings Grammy winners to host a lecture. It’s a great cultural attraction.

Legendary sound engi-neer Geoff Emerick was in Cleveland last weekend. My friend Scott Coopwood, publisher of the Cleveland Current, the Delta Maga-zine and the Delta Business Journal, invited Ginny and me up for a reception at his house for Geoff .

Even though we had planned to go to JazzFest in New Orleans that weekend, we couldn’t pass this up. Parties are always great in the Delta. I am a Beatle Baby from way back and Geoff shares my last name.

I have always felt very for-tunate to have grown up with the Beatles. I can remember being a fan at age 6, when we gathered around a record player and listened to “Meet

the Beatles” until the vinyl was s c r a t c h e d beyond au-dibility.

I was 9 when “Sgt. P e p p e r ’ s L o n e l y Hearts Club Band” was

released. That’s an extreme-ly impressionable age.

As a young teen, I was lead guitarist for a local band, the Cairo Speed Limit. We once were featured on a local TV station in Houston, Texas, where I lived at the time. There were only two stations back then, which made us quite famous in the neigh-borhood. We played many Beatles songs.

So how cool to hang out with Geoff Emerick, who won a Grammy for produc-ing “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Ab-bey Road.” I hung out with a guy that hung out with the Beatles. Only one level of separation. It’s like a bucket list item was checked.

As sound engineer, he was like the fi fth Beatle, work-ing day-in and day-out for months at a time as they

wrote, re-wrote and edited their songs.

The fi rst album Emerick worked on was “Revolver” with its famous track “To-morrow Never Knows.” It was Emerick’s innovation to record John Lennon’s vocal through a Leslie speaker on that song to get the ethereal sound Lennon wanted.

At one point, in “Benefi t for Mr. Kite,” Emerick cut pieces of tape with scissors, threw them up in the air and then spliced them back together to get the carnival like atmosphere John Len-non wanted.

Geoff said John was both the most moody and the Beatle with the best sense of humor. Paul was the most outgoing. George and Ringo were far more quiet, as John and Paul were doing most of the composition.

Now living in Los Angeles, Emerick has led a very fruit-ful and productive career in sound engineering. In 2006, he released his book “Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles,” which has been critically acclaimed.

After the party at the Coopwoods, everybody headed to the ultimate juke

joint, Po’ Monkey’s in Meri-gold. Scott put together a makeshift band that includ-ed Roger Fisher, songwriter and lead guitar player for the famous band Heart.

Our musical weekend con-tinued as the family headed down to JazzFest in New Orleans the next day. I was looking forward to hours and hours of great music, great food, great people and sunshine.

As it turns out, a fl ash fl ood shut down the show as soon as we got there. Fortu-nately, I had brought pocket ponchos for everybody and we were not totally soaked. The fairgrounds became a total mess of mud.

Hotel Indigo is brand new and funky in the heart of the Garden District. It was a joy to watch 14-year-old Ruth and her friend Tatum en-joy their fi rst fondue at the Melting Pot. It was a nice night in the Garden.

The next day, more tor-rential rains. The handful of fans who stuck it out were treated to two hours of Neil Young with distorted guitar riff s ending every song.

Into every life a little rain must fall. There’s always next year.

Museum is big step in right direction

“Britt-Marie Was Here” by Fredrik Backman

c.2016, Atria Books $26.00 / higher in Cana-da 336 pages

“Hey! Look at me!”You spent a fair amount

of your childhood holler-ing that. Watch me. Look here. See what I’m doing, because nobody likes to be ignored. In fact, as in the new book “Britt-Ma-rie Was Here” by Fredrik Backman, being invisible is the worst thing of all.

Civility is dead.Britt-Marie feared that

was the case these days. In civil households, sil-verware is stored forks-knives-spoons in the drawer. Windows are clean, clothes are pressed, dinner is at six o’clock and not a minute later. These things are important.

She said that to Kent many times throughout their marriage, and he laughed. She also asked him repeatedly to put his dirty shirt in the hamper, but he always tossed it on

the fl oor instead. It usu-ally smelled of pizza and perfume.

Britt-Marie didn’t wear perfume.

Much as she loved her husband, Kent didn’t ap-preciate her. Britt-Marie wasn’t sure he even saw her anymore and so, de-ciding to leave him, she applied for a job. It had been decades since she’d done anything but keep a home and jobs were scarce, but there seemed to be one position for which she was qualifi ed. And so, Britt-Marie went to work as a temporary recreation-center care-taker in Borg, a dying village alongside a half-abandoned road a few miles from town.

There was a pizzeria in Borg, an Everything Store, and a post-offi ce, all in the same building, run by a wheelchair-bound woman who drank too much. The village boasted a policeman, a man who received constant pack-ages, a sight-challenged woman with a dog, and a soccer pitch, to which the village’s few children

fl ocked.Soccer was everything

in Borg – mostly because there was little else.

Britt-Marie hated soc-cer.

She hated her predica-ment, too, but someone had to clean the rec cen-ter. Someone had to give the kids somewhere to go, and step up as “coach” for their soccer team. Even-tually, someone had to look at Britt-Marie and really see her…

What kind of a book do you have when you spit your coff ee halfway across the table on page 6 and cry a little, fi fty pages later?

A really good one, that’s what.

Put this wonderful novel in your hands, and “Britt-Marie Was Here” will slyly tickle your fun-ny-bone, while author Fredrik Backman simul-

taneously wrings your heart out with both fi sts. Hilarious and wrench-ing: it’s that way, partly because of the story itself and partly because of the phraseology used to tell it.

Readers won’t have to try hard to love the title character in this book, either; Britt-Marie is proper to a fault, but for a most painful reason, and Borg’s feisty misfi t resi-dents are perfectly creat-ed for her. Those who’ve come to love Backman’s quirky characters, in oth-er words, won’t be disap-pointed at all.

“Britt-Marie Was Here” should be your Book Club’s next pick. It’s the novel you’ll carry around because you can’t bear to quit it. If you love a tale that will leave you happy-sighing, it’s most certainly the book you should look for.

Book offers quirky characters and affecting story

I wish Dad had caught me swiping his pistol; he didn’t. It was a beauty, a Military High-Standard .22 caliber. All I wanted to do was “borrow” it so that I could enjoy slaugh-tering rats with a bunch of other gun-loving students at the garbage dump lo-cated several miles from the small town that was home to the university we attended.

We’d meet late in the day, about the time the rats began their nightly forays among the putre-fying fl otsam, and hide behind a clump of bushes within pistol range of our victims, the population of which could only be described as swarming hordes.

We took turns shoot-ing and kept score, deter-mined by such things as how many misses we reg-istered, how many clean kills we scored, and how many rats we wounded that were able to drag away, only to be feasted upon later by their fellow garbage gastronomes.

It was great fun while it lasted, which was almost the whole semester, but fi nally someone reported us.

As I pulled into the dormitory one Friday night, a waiting police-man searched the car and found the pistol. Instead of showering, slipping into fresh duds and pick-ing up my girlfriend at the appointed time, I was handcuff ed and carted off to jail.

The next morning, I had a visitor — the Dean of Men!

“I’ve arranged your re-lease, but you’ll stand trial for unauthorized posses-sion of a fi rearm. Further-more, I called your father, and he is absolutely furi-ous.”

Mama’s phone call didn’t help.

“Son,” she wailed, “Your father and I saved for years to pay for your education, and now the Dean informs us that

you’ve repaid our eff orts by killing rats instead of studying.”

In line with several hardened hoodlums, I entered the courtroom to stand before The Honor-able Ruth Runyon, known as “Ruthless Ruth.”

Sitting between Dad and the Dean, I agonized while Ruthless meted out harsh sentences to my predecessors. Then the bailiff called my name.

“Young man,” Judge Runyon intoned in a sten-torian voice that, I imag-ined, had been the death knell of many ne’er-do-wells now rotting in the state penitentiary, “you are a disgrace to your family, this city, and the university. How do you plead?”

In a barely audible voice I whispered, “Guilty.”

The fi ne was bad enough — repaying Dad would require a summer of slaving in his cotton fi elds, but the judge saved the double whammy for last.

“The pistol you stole from your father has been permanently confi scat-ed.”

Dad went livid. It had been one of his prized possessions since his World War II service.

Outside the courthouse, Dad said to the Dean, “Sir, if you choose to let my son remain at the university, that’s your business. I’ll say this, though. Had the judge chosen to return my pistol and had she sentenced this rat-killing thug to do time for a gun crime, you wouldn’t have to choose. He’d be headed for three ‘hots’, a cot, and a prolonged period in the pokey.”

 BALTIMORE — Prose-cutors are 0-for-2 in their attempts to hold Balti-more police accountable in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray after an of-fi cer was acquitted Mon-day in the racially charged case that triggered riots a year ago.

A judge cleared Offi cer Edward Nero of assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct, con-cluding that Nero played little role in Gray’s arrest and wasn’t responsible for the failure to buckle the black man into the back of the police van where he suff ered a bro-ken neck.

Upon hearing the ver-dict, Nero hugged his at-torney and appeared to wipe away a tear.

Nero’s lawyers said he and his wife and family are “elated that this night-mare is fi nally over.”

“The state’s attorney for Baltimore City rushed to charge him, as well as the other fi ve offi cers, com-pletely disregarding the facts of the case and the applicable law,” they said in a statement.

Prosecutors had no comment; they are under a gag order.

Nero, who is white, was the second of six of-fi cers charged in the case to stand trial. The man-slaughter case against Offi cer William Porter ended in a mistrial in December when the jury deadlocked. Prosecutors plan to retry him in Sep-tember.

Trial No. 3 — that of van driver Caesar Goodson, who prosecutors believe is most culpable in Gray’s death — is set to begin in two weeks. He is charged with second-degree mur-der.

David Weinstein, a Florida attorney and for-mer federal civil rights prosecutor who has been following the case, said the verdict will probably serve as a “wake-up call” for prosecutors.

“This speaks to the no-tion a lot of people had when this fi rst happened, which is that it was a rush to judgment,” Weinstein said. “The state’s attor-ney was trying to balance what she had with the public outcry and call to action given the climate in Baltimore and across the U.S. concerning polic-ing, and I think she was overreaching.”

Gray died April 19,

2015, a week after suff er-ing a spinal injury in the van while he was hand-cuff ed and shackled but not belted in.

His death set off riot-ing, looting and arson that prompted authori-ties to declare a citywide curfew and call out the National Guard to quell unrest in Baltimore for the fi rst time since the riots that erupted in 1968 over the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Gray’s name became a rallying cry in the grow-ing furor over the deaths of black men in clashes with police.

Nero, 30, waived his right to a jury trial, choos-ing instead to let Circuit Judge Barry Williams de-cide his fate. The assault charge alone carried up to 10 years in prison.

“The state’s theory has been one of reckless-ness and negligence,” the judge said. “There has been no evidence that the defendant intended for a crime to occur.”

Nero remains on desk duty and still faces a de-partmental investigation that could result in disci-plinary action.

About a dozen protest-

ers gathered outside the courthouse as the ver-dict was read, but they were far outnumbered by members of the media.

Mayor Stephanie Raw-lings-Blake noted the de-partmental review and pleaded for calm.

“We once again ask the citizens to be patient and to allow the entire process to come to a conclusion,” she said. “In the case of any disturbance in the city, we are prepared to respond. We will protect our neighborhoods, our businesses and the people of our city.”

Gray’s family settled with the city for $6.4 mil-lion in September. An attorney for the family, Billy Murphy, said they respected the verdict, and he commended the judge for resisting “enormous pressure” and showing “tremendous courage in ruling against public opinion.”

Some legal experts said the judge’s ruling was so narrowly tailored — and the facts so diff erent from those of the other defen-dants — that it provides little guidance to what could happen in the up-coming trials.

Baltimore defense at-

torney Warren Alper-stein, who watched the trial, said Nero wisely elected a non-jury trial, because a judge is more capable of applying com-plex issues involving the Fourth Amendment pro-tection against unreason-able search and seizure.

The van driver, though, should put his fate in the hands of a jury, because “when you’re facing a murder charge, as Good-son is, you do not want to put all your eggs in one basket,” Alperstein said.

On the morning of April 12, 2015, Lt. Brian Rice was on patrol in a high-crime neighborhood when he made eye con-tact with Gray and Gray ran away. Rice called for backup, and Nero and Offi cer Garrett Miller re-sponded.

According to testimony, Miller jumped off his bi-cycle, caught up with Gray and put him in handcuff s. Gray was placed in the back of the van, seated on the bench.

A few blocks away the van stopped, and Rice and Miller took Gray, who police said had been kicking, screaming and shaking the van, out of the wagon, placed him in

leg irons and replaced his metal cuff s with plastic ones. The offi cers, with Nero’s help, loaded Gray back into the van, sliding him in his belly, head-fi rst.

Nero’s attorneys said Nero touched Gray only twice — fi rst to help him up from the ground after he had been handcuff ed and was asking for an inhaler, then to help put him back in the van.

After Gray was tak-en into custody, police found a knife on him. But the judge did not al-low testimony about the weapon.

Prosecutors argued that police had no probable cause to arrest Gray. But the judge said that Nero was not involved in the arrest, so the question of whether it was improper was irrelevant.

Tessa Hill-Aston, presi-dent of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP, said offi cers’ failure to see that Gray was buckled in “speaks to a lack of train-ing.”

“That’s where the sys-tem failed Freddie. Be-cause everyone is passing the buck on who is sup-posed to strap him in,” she said.

Officer cleared of charges in Freddie Gray case

 LOS ANGELES — Two weeks before Puerto Ri-co’s primary, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says a deal between House leaders

and the Obama adminis-tration to help the island out of debt has colonialist overtones.

In a letter to fellow Sen-ate Democrats on Mon-day, the Vermont senator

says the House bill to cre-ate a control board and allow some restructuring of the U.S. territory’s $70 billion debt would make “a terrible situation even worse.” House Democrat-ic Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Obama adminis-tration are supporting the Republican legislation, which is scheduled for a committee vote this week.

Sanders said the bill would empower an “un-elected and undemocrat-ic oversight board” and criticized the legislation for allowing the governor of Puerto Rico to cut the minimum wage tempo-rarily for some younger workers.

“We must stop treat-ing Puerto Rico like a colony and start treating the American citizens of

Puerto Rico with the re-spect and dignity that they deserve,” Sanders wrote.

Sanders is trailing Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the presiden-tial primaries and Clinton has outperformed Sand-ers among Latino voters. Both are competing in the June 5 Puerto Rican pri-mary.

In a statement last week, Clinton said she has serious concerns about the power of the control board but believes the legislation should move forward, or “too many Puerto Ricans will con-tinue to suff er.”

So far, Sanders’ op-position hasn’t swayed Democrats who are sup-porting the bill. Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, one of a small number of House

lawmakers backing Sand-ers’ presidential bid, is the top Democrat on the House committee that will consider the legisla-tion. His offi ce reiterated his support for the deal after Sanders sent the let-ter Monday.

Grijalva “understands that there are Democratic concerns with the bill, but he’s been very involved with the negotiations over these past few months and understands that this bill is a compromise,” said spokeswoman Diane Pa-dilla.

Padilla said it’s not the bill Grijalva would write, but the Treasury Depart-ment “has reassured him that it’ll help get the peo-ple of Puerto Rico back on their feet, which is what he ultimately wants.” Treasury Secretary Ja-cob Lew, who was also involved in negotiations, has called the legislation a “fair, but tough bipartisan compromise.”

Puerto Rico, which has struggled to overcome a lengthy recession, has missed several payments to creditors and faces a $2 billion installment, the largest yet, on July 1. Two government agencies have been under a state of emergency, and the eco-nomic crisis has forced businesses to close, driv-en up the employment rate and sparked an exo-dus of hundreds of thou-sands of people to the U.S. mainland.

Sanders’ opposition could cause more prob-lems in the Senate, where one lawmaker can slow a bill’s progress. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid had no immediate comment on Sanders’ let-ter.

Senators have said they are waiting to see what happens in the House

before they consider a bill, so it could be weeks or months before the chamber takes up the is-sue. Sanders has been largely absent from Sen-ate proceedings during his lengthy primary cam-paign.

In his letter, Sanders warned that the control board would have the power to cut the budget, slash pensions and take other measures. He notes that most of the control board would be chosen by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

He noted that unions have opposed the bill, due to the minimum wage provision and a proposed suspension of the Obama administration’s overtime rules for the island. Sand-ers said the legislation “looks out for the needs of Wall Street vulture funds fi rst and foremost.”

Bondholders, including hedge funds, have lobbied to make sure the legisla-tion ensures their rights as creditors are held up by the control board. Repub-licans say the legislation would force the control board both to honor cred-itors and fi nd a way to pay for government pensions, which have been under-funded by more than $40 billion.

Ryan has strongly sup-ported the bill, saying it is the only way to avoid an eventual bailout of the territory.

Puerto Rican offi cials are more in line with Sanders. Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla said last week the bill isn’t “con-sistent with our country’s basic democratic prin-ciples.” He wants a less powerful board that can’t fully control the island’s fi nances.

Sanders criticizes Obama administration’s Puerto Rico plan

Th ree Th ings the Devil Wants To Do!In this article we want to direct the attention of the reader to three

things that the devil wants to accomplish in this world.Keep You Out of the Church

First, the devil wants to keep every responsible soul out of the church. Th ere are many reasons for this. Th e saved are in the church. He does not want you to get in with the saved. While you are out of the church, you are unsaved, and well does the devil know this. If you are ever saved, at that moment the Lord adds you to the church. (Acts 2:47.) “And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” Th e devil is not going to allow you to be added to the saved if he can help it.

Th e blood of Christ is in the church, his body. Th e devil does not want you to come into the church, because that is where the cleansing blood of Christ is. Th e church has been purchased with the precious blood of Calvary’s Lamb. (Acts 20: 28) Well does the devil know that it takes the blood of Christ to wash away sin. And he further knows that this blood is in the church, and that it is not reached out of the church. Christ shed his blood in his death. We are baptized into his death. (Rom. 6: 3-5)

Get You Back Into the WorldIf the devil does not succeed in keeping you out of the church, then

he will do everything he can to get you back into the world aft er you have gone into the church. And how many times he is successful in this undertaking! Paul wrote of one of the brethren aft er this fashion: “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world.” (2 Tim. 4:10) What caused Demas to forsake Paul? It was the love of the present world. It will do it every time. “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James4:4.)

Render You Worthless In the ChurchIf the devil cannot succeed in keeping you out of the church or in

getting you back into the world, he will do everything within his power to render you useless and worthless in the church. Every Christian is a branch. Christ is the vine. Th e branch must abide in the vine and bear fruit. If not, it is taken away. “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.” (John 15:2.) “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” (2 Cor. 5:10) “Ye see then how that by works a man is justifi ed, and not by faith only.” (James 2: 24)

How does the devil render Christians useless and worthless? He has many and devious devices. He would like for the members of the church to be spiritually ignorant and satisfi ed. So many refuse to study. Th ey are ignorant.

Many are rendered worthless to the cause of Christ because of being stingy and covetous. A covetous person is the most unlike Christ of any mortal. Others get to be chronic critics and grouches. Nothing is right with them. Th e church is going to the devil, etc. And still others become adept at making excuses. An excuse maker is never a worker for the Lord. Others are rendered worthless by hypocrisy.

Th e Lord adds to THE church the saved. Read Act 2:36-47. Welcome.

Cheating hearing set for principal

JACKSON — A hearing to suspend or revoke a Clarksdale elementary school principal’s teach-ing license is scheduled to begin Monday.

The state teacher li-censure commission will examine whether Heidel-berg Elementary School Principal Lowanda Tyler-Jones helped orchestrate cheating on state stan-dardized tests in 2013.

Previously an elemen-tary school teacher, Tyler-Jones was named Heidel-berg’s principal in 2012. Test scores rose sharply, and those increases were flagged by the state as statistically unlikely.

 

Bystander shot near convenience store

GULFPORT — Police say a shot fired during a fight outside a Gulfport convenience store struck a bystander who they say was not part of the fight.

Sgt. Damon McDaniel with the Gulfport Police Department tells The Sun Herald the man, who is not yet identified, is wounded, but the injury isn’t life-threatening.

McDaniel says the shooting happened at 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the Kanga-roo gas station on U.S. Highway 49.

 

Spectator accused of heroin transfer

OSYKA — A woman who allegedly tried to pass off a bag of heroin to a Pike County jail in-mate inside a courtroom finds herself in jail.

The Enterprise-Journal

reports 28-year-old Car-rie McClendon, of Mc-Comb, was arrested in Osyka Municipal Court Thursday and charged with possession of a Schedule I controlled substance.

Pike County Sheriff’s Department Chief Inves-tigator Greg Martin said McClendon allegedly brought heroin in her purse to the courthouse.

He said inmates being held at the Pike County jail on charges from Osyka had been taken to court there, and McClen-don had apparently tried to give the drugs to one of them.

 

April casino revenue up along coast, river

JACKSON — Gamblers lost more money at Mis-sissippi casinos along both the Gulf Coast and Mississippi River in April.

Figures released Friday by the state Revenue De-partment show casinos won $181 million in April, up 2 percent from $177 million in April 2015.

Gamblers lost $98 million at the 12 coastal casinos, 3 percent more than last April. It’s the ninth increase for coastal casinos in the last year.

The 16 Mississippi Riv-er casinos won $83 mil-lion, up 1 percent from April 2015. The increase could indicate that the long slide in river casino revenues is bottoming out.

 

Drug courier admits helping deliver meth

GULFPORT — An Okla-homa man has admitted he was acting as a drug courier when he and two others brought about 26 ½ pounds of crystal meth to Mississippi.

The Sun Herald reports 27-year-old Refugio Garcia De Lira, of Tulsa, pleaded guilty to interstate travel in aid of drug racketeering enterprises Thursday in U.S. District Court in Gulf-port, Mississippi.

Judge Sul Ozerden set a sentencing date for Aug. 29.

Ex-lawyer and son dead after shooting

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A retired Chatta-nooga attorney and his son are dead in what authorities are calling a domestic incident.

Hamilton County Sher-iff’s deputies tell local media that 82-year-old Glenn Copeland was shot by his son Steven Copeland on Sunday at his Chattanooga home. Glenn Copeland was taken to Erlanger Hospi-tal where he died.

Shortly after the shooting authorities found Steven Cope-land dead of a gunshot wound at a house near-by. He was due in court this week on driving and DUI charges following an arrest earlier this year.

Authorities say there are no more suspects and that the public isn’t in danger.

 

Flight diverted after woman becomes ill

WILMINGTON, N.C. — Officials say an in-ternational flight was di-verted to North Carolina after an elderly woman on board became ill.

Airport deputy direc-tor Gary Broughton told news media outlets that the LAN Airlines jet flying from Ecuador to John F. Kennedy Inter-national Airport in New York was diverted to Wilmington International Airport just before 4 p.m. Sunday.

Broughton says the 90-year-old woman suf-fered a heart problem and was taken to a hospital for treatment. There was no word on her condition and she wasn’t further identified.

Broughton said after the diversion the plane continued to JFK.

 

Trump meets with Tennessee senator

NEW YORK — Pre-sumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump met with Bob Corker in New York on Monday, intensify-ing speculation that the U.S. senator from Tennessee may be on Trump’s vice presiden-tial shortlist.

Speaking to reporters following the meeting, Corker described the get-together at Trump Tower in Manhattan as “a meeting between two people who didn’t know each other except over phone calls getting to know each other.”

He said he has no reason to believe he’s being vetted as a poten-tial Trump running mate or for a Cabinet position should Trump win the general election.

“I have no reason whatsoever to believe I am being considered for a position like that,” Corker told reporters who pressed him about various possible posi-tions.

Corker is currently the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He also serves on the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

In a statement, Cork-er’s chief of staff Todd Womack said the pair had “had a good meet-ing...in which they en-gaged in a wide-ranging policy discussion.”

Corker praised a high-profile foreign policy speech that Trump de-livered in Washington last month, saying in a statement that “in a year where angry rhetoric has defined the presidential race on both sides of the

aisle, it is my hope that candidates in both parties will begin fo-cusing not only on the problems we face but on solutions.” He said he believed the speech “could be an important step in that direction.”

 

Planned Parenthood employees treated

SARASOTA, Fla. — Hazardous materials teams found unidenti-fied chemicals inside cleaning closets at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Florida on Monday after the clinic sent seven staffers who were complaining of breathing problems to a hospital for evalu-ation, police and clinic officials said.

A total of 42 people were evacuated at 10:45 a.m. and people were decontaminated at the scene, Sara-sota Police Department spokeswoman Gen-evieve Judge said in a news release. At the moment, there is no criminal investigation, Judge said. Planned Parenthood spokesman Andrew Taverrite said no patients were onsite.

The workers were expected to be allowed back into the clinic later Monday, Judge said.

The clinic provides family planning ser-vices, preventive health care, testing for sexual-ly transmitted diseases, and abortions.

Planned Parenthood is a national target be-cause of its role as the largest U.S. abortion provider.

Last year, edited vid-eos were released pur-porting to show Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissue for profit. The organization has denied the allegation.

Two anti-abortion ac-tivists were indicted in connection with making the videos.

 

Alabama alderman shot in South Africa

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A city council member from Mobile, Alabama, was hospitalized in stable condition Mon-day after he was shot in the face while traveling in Johannesburg, South Africa, a family repre-sentative said.

Councilman C.J. Small Jr. was shot on Sat-urday when someone ambushed a tour bus on which he was riding while visiting the coun-try, a statement from his family said. The statement said Small and others aboard the bus were robbed of cellphones and other belongings.

Tiffany Williams, who described herself as a friend of Small’s family, said Small was expect-ed to recover from the injury.

“They have not changed his status in the hospital,” she said in a telephone inter-view. “He is still listed as stable.”

It was unclear when Small would be able to return to the United States, Williams said.

Small, who has served on the council since 2012, owns a mortuary and traveled to South Africa for a mortician’s convention. His family said it was working with the U.S. Consulate in Johannes-burg and the secretary of state in Washington.

Embassy spokeswom-an Cynthia R. Harvey, in a statement emailed to The Associated Press, said U.S. officials in Pretoria were aware of reports that a U.S. citi-zen was the victim of a carjacking on Saturday

in Johannesburg. She declined further com-ment, citing privacy con-siderations.

Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson sent a mes-sage on social media Sunday saying he learned that Small had been injured.

“Based upon what we know about his condition, I encourage everyone to pray for his full and complete recov-ery,” Stimpson said in a tweet.

 

Man runs 10,000 consecutive days

SAUGUS, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who made a resolution on Jan. 1, 1989, to run every day is still going strong — 27 years later.

Saugus resident Len-worth “Kip” Williamson recently ran for the 10,000th consecutive day.

The 57-year-old Gen-eral Electric Co. engi-neering manager tells The Daily Item of Lynn that he remembers reading at the time that if you can do something for 21 days, it becomes a habit. He said 1989 was a mild winter, which helped him as he is a strictly outdoor runner.

Williamson sticks to the streets, regardless of the weather, and puts in at least 3 miles a day. At least once a week, he puts in a 6- to 8-mile run.

He says as long as his legs work, he will continue running.

 

‘Shield’ actor’s trial begins in California

LOS ANGELES — A murder trial began Mon-day for an actor who played a police officer on TV and is accused of shooting and killing his wife while their young children looked on two years ago in their Los Angeles home.

The trial of 53-year-old Michael Jace, who appeared on the FX series “The Shield,” promises to explore unanswered questions about what led to the killing.

Few details about the slaying have been released, although a prosecutor has said the actor shot April Jace in the back and then again while their young chil-dren watched.

The actor then called a police dispatcher and said he had killed his wife, authorities say. A recording of the call has not been released.

Jace also phoned his father-in-law to pick up the children, according to another 911 call re-leased by fire officials.

Jace has pleaded not guilty and his attorneys have said his state of mind on the day of the killing will be a key ele-ment of his defense.

Jury selection began Monday, with a judge telling 70 prospective jurors about Jace’s work as an actor and noting the case has received some publicity. The trial is expected to last a week.

April Jace, 40, was a financial aid counselor at Biola University and had two sons with the defendant. The boys were 8 and 5 when she was killed.

Her family called her death a senseless act of domestic violence.

Neighbors described the actor as a doting fa-ther and said they never saw or heard signs of trouble from the family home in the Hyde Park neighborhood. A pros-ecutor has said there was no evidence of pre-vious domestic violence by Michael Jace.

Strategy update?Best Buy has been grasping for new ways to grow sales in a bid to offset declining mobile phone sales.

The nation’s largest consumer electronics chain has tried catering to shoppers’ interest in “smart home” technology and more elaborate home theater gear. Is it working? Investors will be looking for clues today when Best Buy reports its fiscal first-quarter results.

Sales pickup?Economists anticipate that sales of new U.S. homes accelerated last month.

The Commerce Department is expected to report today that sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 520,000 in April. That would mark a turnaround in the recent trend. Sales of new homes have fallen every month since January. Even so, sales in the January-March period were slightly ahead of the year-to-date pace in 2015.

Eye on DSWShoes and accessories retailer DSW delivers its latest quarterly results today.

Financial analysts expect that the company’s fiscal-first quarter earnings declined from a year earlier, despite an expected pickup in revenue. DSW is coming off a tough fourth quarter that saw its profit cut by more than half. Still, DSW made headway online after it introduced a buy online and pick up in store program.

TV cord-cutting is accelerating.Top cable and satellite TV providers lost

about 540,000 subscribers over the past year, more than double a year ago, according to Leichtman Research. That’s despite the growth of U.S. households.

While it’s a blip on the 94.2 million people who get service from the top 13 providers – about 95 percent of the market – the story of decline remains intact: Young people increasingly aren’t signing up for service, older people are cutting back and online alternatives grow every day.

AT&T didn’t help by choosing to emphasize its

newly acquired satellite business DirectTV over its traditional wired U-Verse TV service. It’s trying to save money by pushing U-verse customers to DirecTV, but that’s resulted in a combined loss of 779,000 subscribers. Meanwhile, satellite rival Dish is no longer chasing low-value customers, causing more subscriber losses. While cable companies scooped up some of the spillage by offering attractive bundles with broadband Internet service, if it weren’t for Dish’s online Sling TV offering nearly quadrupling to 665,000 subscribers, the traditional pay TV providers would look even worse.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

xwordeditor@aol.com

Dear Annie: We live in a friendly town. Yet, we have some residents who are terribly disrespectful people of other people’s property.

We’ve had dogs and love dogs, but we would never think of taking our dog to our neighbor’s lawn to do its duty. We’ve consulted several experts and they all say that the dog’s urine can cause brown spots on the lawn. We even paid to have new sod put in. We’ve asked people not to do this, but the minute our back is turned, they ignore us.

We aren’t allowed to put up “No Dogs Allowed” signs, so that doesn’t help. But we have a number of dog parks these folks can use instead of our lawn. Apologies to those dog owners who do the right thing, but how do we get inconsiderate dog owners to behave? — Totally Con-fused

Dear Confused: Dogs “mark” their ter-ritory and if they have used your lawn in the past, they are likely to make a beeline for it again.

Are there laws in your “friendly” town that prohibit dogs from using private lawns? If so, report each incident to the police. Another option is to go outside when-ever you see someone

coming with their dog and not leave until the owners pass by com-pletely. However, you can’t always be there each time, so here are some other sugges-tions: Spray a diluted mixture of cayenne pepper (or ammonia, vinegar or citrus) and water on your lawn, or look for a com-mercially available dog-repellant spray. Get a motion-activat-ed sprinkler. Build a fence. We hope one of these works.

Dear Annie: My child died recently. My friends tell me they don’t know what to say. I don’t know which is worse, someone who says something in-appropriate or someone who says nothing.

I know how they feel. I used to be someone who didn’t know what to say to a person whose loved one had died. I shudder to think of how often I might have said something in-advertently hurtful or remained silent because “they might be having a good day and I don’t want to ruin it for them.”

I have news for people — you can’t ruin our day.

Mine was ruined the day my child died. When you say nothing, it makes us feel that our loved one’s life was insignifi cant. But this person was important to us. This person mat-tered.

Here is my advice for what you can say: “I’m sorry about your loss.” In-clude the person’s name or their relationship if you can. Whatever your ver-sion of “I’m sorry,” be it in the form of a hug or in words, is perfect. That’s it. That’s enough. It doesn’t matter how the person died. However, if you have an anecdotal story about this person, please share it. We love to hear stories about our loved one. Send a text. If there is an online tribute to this person, sign it. Also, cards are wonder-ful. I don’t know what is the statute of limitations on expressing condolenc-es, but we are still receiv-ing cards months after the event, and they are still comforting.

The family holds these things close. We are struggling to put our lives back together without this person in it. — Sad

Dear Sad: If you haven’t already done so, please contact The Compassionate Friends (compassion-atefriends.org). Our deepest condolences on your heartbreak-ing loss.

Some people like dogs, others don’tAnnie’s Mailbox

Horoscopes

Coming in the Saturday, May 28, Daily Corinthian — The 80-page Exploring Pickwick magazine.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s time to convince the childish part of yourself that your higher-mind-ed self is worthy of just as much respect as the other authorities in your life and then a whole lot more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re in a position to be a tie-breaker; however, it is very likely that you will see both sides of the argument and agree with neither. Don’t vote just because they ask you to. There has to be another answer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re learning the intricacies of an existing power dynamic. What will it take to become so self-suffi cient you no longer have to deal with this? Someone is going to be put in charge of you, so it may as well be you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The work doesn’t have to be pretty; it just has to get done. Make this your mantra when too many ultimately meaningless de-tails call out seductively to you like sirens on the rocks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a genuine respect for younger people, as you see the unique creatures they are -- better equipped for the future than any-one before has ever been. Older people also have your admiration and loyalty, in a different way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are sacred places in the world that are kept secret from people who wouldn’t understand them. Your humble spirit will in-gratiate you somewhere that a proud attitude would never be invited.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No one is the same in every situa-tion. You’ll be around a person who brings out a rarely seen side of you and shows you something about your potential that you didn’t realize before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are many ways to get at-tention. People around you now seem to be pulling out all the stops to get yours, some by be-ing attractive and successful, others by being loud and needy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your instruction will be valu-able help. You’ll also be excellent at matching individuals to the jobs they are best suited for and the people they are most com-patible with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Don’t assume you’re being understood or even heard. You may be surprised at what people are taking away from your con-versation, and unless you check in and ask for feedback you won’t really know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The funny people in your life are probably about as high-main-tenance as they are intelligent -- and so worth every ounce of attention you pour into the rela-tionship.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you don’t know what’s go-ing on behind the scenes, wait-ing for it to come together can be anxiety-provoking. The more you learn about what’s involved in a production, the easier it will be to fl ow with the timing of it.

D E A R ABBY: A c o w o r k e r has been d i a g n o s e d with terminal cancer.

She’s not sure how long she may have. She is rela-tively young, so it’s tragic.

We have excellent insurance from work, national health care and disability insurance.

Another co-worker sent out an email with a link to a crowdfund-ing site as well as an invitation to a party selling products.

The proceeds will be donated to fulfi lling a “cancer bucket list,” which includes pampering, trips and other luxuries.

I sympathize with anyone having a terminal illness, but why does that mean I have to give money?

Do they have a right to be pampered on other people’s dime?

This kind of fundraising, with-out real fi nancial need, seems to happen often: Coworkers who have had accidents, fi res, unexpected or stressful inci-dents all have offi ce collections set up, even when they are fully insured and the damage is cov-ered by their policies.

A friend (or Human Resourc-

es) contacts everyone who has had even a passing interaction with the individual and solicits donations.

I am happy to write letters and notes to people I know are having a hard time. I visit with closer friends and may bring a meal or fl owers to their home.

But people I’ve spent only a few hours of my life with asking for money for luxuries seems nervy to me.

Am I a tightwad, or is a fi nan-cial donation necessary to ex-press condolences? -- TIGHT-WAD IN CANADA

DEAR TIGHTWAD: Because you receive a solicitation does not mean you are obligated to respond to it. (Unless the “so-licitor” is holding a gun, in which case I would advise you not to argue.)

Whether to make a donation for something like this is your CHOICE, and if you choose not to join in, you should not feel -- or be made to feel -- guilty if you decline.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married in June. Her father -- my ex -- has let her know she must invite his new wife’s parents to the wedding. They are drinkers, and have in the past been very rude to my daughter.

She has no relationship at all with them and doesn’t want them at her wedding.

She is aware that this will cause hard feelings with her stepmother and her father.

My soon-to-be son-in-law called me asking for advice. I said maybe they should be in-vited to keep peace in the fam-ily, but my daughter is very up-set at the idea of having these people around on her “special day.” A

ny advice? -- WEDDING IN-VITE IN WISCONSIN

DEAR WEDDING INVITE: Your ex-husband’s new in-laws are not related to your daugh-ter and do not appear to have made an effort to befriend her. Because of that, I see no rea-son why they “must” be invited, unless your ex is footing the bill for the wedding.

If this is the case, and the wedding is a large one, the couple could be seated “in Si-beria,” which might be a less than satisfactory, but workable, solution.

(Why they would insist on coming under these circum-stances, I can’t say, but some people will do almost anything for a free dinner.)

Championships Mississippi State won the Southeastern Conference regular-season title one year after fi nishing in the league basement.

Now the Bulldogs want to carry the momentum of that dramatic rise into the post-season.

Mississippi State (40-14-1, 21-9 SEC) enters this week’s Southeastern Conference Tournament as the No. 1 seed after winning its fi rst regular-season league title since 1989. The Bulldogs had gone 24-30 overall and 8-22 in conference play in 2015

to fi nish last in the Western Division and post the SEC’s worst overall league record.

Bulldogs coach John Co-hen, who played for Missis-sippi State’s last SEC regular-season champions, said there isn’t much of a gap separat-ing the top of the conference from the bottom.

“If you’re an inch off in the Southeastern Conference, you’re going to get punched in the mouth a lot,” Cohen said.

SEC Tournament play be-gins Tuesday in Hoover, Ala-bama. No. 6 seed Vanderbilt (41-15, 18-12) faces No. 11

seed Missouri (26-29, 9-21), No. 7 seed Mississippi (40-16, 18-12) meets No. 10 seed Georgia (27-29, 11-19), No. 8 seed Kentucky (32-24, 15-15) battles No. 9 seed Alabama (31-24, 15-15) and No. 5 seed LSU (39-17, 19-11) tackles No. 12 seed Tennessee (29-27, 9-21) in single-elimina-tion games.

Tuesday’s winners advance to double-elimination play beginning Wednesday along with Mississippi State, No. 2 seed South Carolina (42-13, 20-9), No. 3 seed Texas A&M (41-13, 20-10) and No. 4 seed Florida (44-11, 19-10).

The tournament returns to a single-elimination format Saturday and has a champi-onship game Sunday.

Mississippi State made its dramatic rise up the stand-ings by getting improvement from its new players and re-ceiving a huge impact from its newcomers. Mississippi State’s three top batting aver-ages are owned by freshman Jake Mangum (.427) and junior-college transfers Na-thaniel Lowe (.359) and Jack Kruger (.358).

BOONEVILLE — The West evened the series in the Northeast Mississippi Foot-ball Coaches Association (NEMFCA) All-Star Game with a 31-0 decision over the East during the fourth edi-tion of this event.

The contest was held on the campus of Northeast Mississippi Community Col-lege for the third consecutive year with a nice crowd of ap-proximately 750 fans at Tiger Stadium.

The designated visiting team on the scoreboard wasted little time in taking the lead. Jack Wilson of East Webster High School raced 58 yards down the home sideline on the West’s second play from scrimmage.

Choctaw County High

School’s Danny Woodard capitalized on the lengthy run one play later with a two-yard scamper into the end zone to place the West ahead 7-0 with 7:41 remaining in the opening quarter.

The East’s defense made several key plays to stay within one score of the West in the fi rst half. Northeast signees Jaylon Ewing of West Point High School and J.T. Loving of Shannon High School stopped a fake fi eld goal attempt by the West well short of the fi rst down marker.

A mishandled snap in the red zone was recovered by Itawamba Agricultural High School’s Tray Miller of the East squad midway through the second quarter to halt another scoring opportunity for the West.

Turnovers were the demise of the East in the second half. They had miscues on their initial three possessions of the third period, including fumble recoveries by Coco Bays of Winona High School and Falkner High School’s Dillon Davis plus an intercep-tion by Grenada High School product D’Alforne Burt.

The West transitioned those mistakes into 10 points. East Webster’s Tyler Cosby connected on a 30-yard fi eld goal while Wilson’s one-yard quarterback keeper pushed the West ahead 17-0.

A little trickery helped the West extend its advantage just before the conclusion of the third. Running back Jaalen Thomas caught a lateral pass and then found fellow Calhoun City High School teammate Jyair

Pierce for a 32-yard touch-down.

Thomas completed the scoring for the West with a 42-yard pass to Woodard with 4:39 left in the match-up. He had 102 passing yards in relief of Wilson during the fi nal period.

Wilson, who led East Web-ster to the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 2A cham-pionship contest last fall at the University of Missis-sippi’s Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, was named the Of-fensive Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the West with game-highs of 18 rushes and 123 yards.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Southeastern Conference coaches and athletic directors will convene next week with familiar topics on the agenda, including football recruiting in general and satellite camps in particular, along with strength-ening men’s basketball across the league.

The much-publicized issue of camps clearly isn’t dead, though the NCAA Division I Board of Directors in April scrapped a proposal from the SEC and ACC to ban them. The board also gave the Division I Council until Sept. 1 to make

initial recommendations on the entire college football re-cruiting model, satellite camps included.

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said Monday the league’s position remains that “recruiting should be done within the recruiting calen-dar established by the NCAA. Widespread satellite camps are not part of that recruiting calendar.”

And clearly the issue will be a hot topic once again at next week’s SEC spring meetings in Destin, Florida.

“The concerns are still there,” Sankey said in an in-

terview with The Associated Press. “When it was a relatively small practice, it was fi ne. Some will argue that there’s a lot of instruction and develop-ment that occurs. Well, that may be true in some cases. But when I talk to our coaches who now have 10-15 calls a day, it starts to become an unhealthy activity.

“And it really is about re-cruiting. I’m hoping that if the solutions are identifi ed by Sept. 1. We’ll certainly talk about dif-ferent strategies next week that are attentive to the full scope of issues here.”

The camps got more atten-

tion last summer when Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan staff held camps in the South. Harbaugh and other coaches say satellite camps provide opportunities for un-recruited athletes to be noticed by high-profi le coaches and possibly receive scholarships. The SEC maintains they’re recruiting tools, and Sankey said he’d welcome discussion about ex-tending the spring evaluation period if that’s the camps’ pur-pose.

In April, NCAA board chair-

JACKSON — Mississippi State fresh-man outfi elder Jake Mangum has won this year’s Ferriss Trophy, which is given to Mississippi’s top college base-ball player.

Mangum, of Pearl, becomes the fi rst freshman to take home the award in its 12-year history and is the fi fth Missis-sippi State player to receive it.

Mangum fi nished the 2016 regular season leading the Southeastern Con-ference in batting with a .427 average. That number is good for third in the NCAA and is fi rst among freshmen in the entire country.

Mangum bested four other fi nalists, including teammates junior pitcher Dakota Hudson and junior outfi elder Reid Humphreys. Other fi nalists were Ole Miss outfi elder J.B. Woodman and Delta State outfi elder Will Robertson.

The award is sponsored by C Spire Wireless.

Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Texas A&M’s Boomer White is the Southeastern Conference baseball player of the year and Florida’s Logan Shore is pitcher of the year.

The SEC also announced Monday that Mississippi State’s John Cohen was coach of the year, Mississippi State’s Jake Mangum was freshman of the year and Tennessee’s Derek Lance was scholar-athlete of the year. The awards were selected by a vote of league coaches.

White has a .486 on-base percent-age and 88 hits to lead the SEC in both categories. Shore is 10-0 with a 2.33 ERA. Mangum leads the SEC with a .427 batting average.

Cohen led Mississippi State to the SEC regular-season title. Lance owns a 3.90 grade point average as a kinesiol-ogy major.

The West team won the fourth annual Northeast Mississippi Football Coaches Association (NEMFCA) All-Star Game by a score of 31-0 at Northeast Mississippi Community College’s Tiger Stadium.

The East team donned red jerseys and blue pants for the All-Star Game at Tiger Stadium.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Draymond Green knows who is responsible for his kick to the groin of Thunder center Ste-ven Adams: Russell Westbrook and the rest of the NBA stars who get to the foul line with a whole lot of salesmanship.

Green’s kick felled the 7-foot, 255-pound Adams during the second quarter of Golden State’s Game 3 loss to Oklahoma City in the Western Confer-ence fi nals on Sunday night. Westbrook later said Green kicked Adams inten-tionally — and that didn’t go over well with the Warriors’ standout.

centage, Mangum leads the Bulldogs in on-base percentage (.479) and Lowe has a team-leading 47 RBIs.

“Those are all three new guys who have just had great fi rst years,” Cohen said. “That’s not common in the South-eastern Conference.”

Cohen also led Ken-tucky to a regular-sea-son title in 2006 and is the second coach to win an SEC regular-season championship at two dif-ferent schools. Ron Polk led Mississippi State to four SEC regular-season championships before winning one at Georgia in 2001.

Here are some things to watch in the SEC tournament.

FIGHTING FOR POSITION: The top SEC teams already are assured of NCAA Tour-nament invitations but are trying to improve their positioning. Flori-da, Texas A&M, Missis-sippi State, South Caro-lina, Ole Miss, LSU and Vanderbilt all would like to be considered as re-gional hosts and/or na-tional seeds.

BUBBLE BATTLE: Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard and Kentucky’s Gary Henderson ac-knowledge their teams are on the NCAA Tour-nament bubble after go-

ing .500 in conference play during the regular season. The two teams face each other Tuesday. “You’ve got to win this game, you’ve got to get to the double-elimination part, you’ve probably got to beat (Mississippi State) on Wednesday and build those RPI points,” Henderson said. Gaspard said that “the winner of that game is going to have a whole lot more comfort after it and the loser is going to be sitting home on pins and needles for a week.”

DOMINANT GA-TORS/TIGERS: LSU has won fi ve of the last eight SEC tournaments. Florida won last year’s SEC Tournament and also earned the title in 2011.

WHO’S SURGING: Mississippi State is on an 11-game winning streak. LSU had won 11 in a row — including two straight victories over Florida — before losing its regular-season fi nale to the Gators.

WHO’S MISSING: Auburn (23-33, 8-22) and Arkansas (26-29, 7-23) had the SEC’s two worst conference re-cords and consequently didn’t make the 12-team tournament fi eld. With its losing record, Arkan-sas also is expected to miss the NCAA Tourna-ment for the fi rst time since 2001.

GENEVA — FIFA has fi red its fi nance director of the past 13 years, remov-ing another fi xture of the Sepp Blatter presidential era in another round of revelations about irregular million-dollar payments.

Markus Kattner’s exit on Monday came after he spent several months in his highest profi le role at the scandal-rocked world soccer body — as its in-terim top administrator promoting FIFA’s wish to change its tainted culture even as his links to other investigations added up.

FIFA said Kattner was fi red after an internal investigation said he al-legedly broke his legal responsibilities to the or-ganization “in connection with his employment con-tract.”

The 45-year-old Ger-man offi cial was due pay-ments worth millions of dollars over a six-year pe-riod from 2008-14 from additions to his contract, a person familiar with the FIFA investigation said Monday.

The extra payments were known to then-Pres-ident Blatter and then-

secretary general Jerome Valcke, Kattner’s immedi-ate boss in that period.

“We don’t yet under-stand why these payments were made,” the person said on condition of ano-nymity as details of the investigation are confi den-tial. “These contract pro-visions were not known widely and not to the ap-propriate offi cers at FIFA.”

It is unclear if the con-tracted payments which came to light last week could form part of a wider investigation of criminal mismanagement at FIFA conducted by Swiss federal prosecutors, who opened proceedings against Blat-ter last September.

“We are not in a position to determine the legality of the contracts,” the person said, adding that “the ap-propriate authorities are aware of the issue.”

United States federal prosecutors — who have indicted and taken guilty pleas from more than 40 soccer and marketing offi -cials, plus marketing agen-cies, in a sprawling bribery probe — have said they are monitoring FIFA’s commitment to genuine reform under President

Gianni Infantino, who was elected in February.

FIFA’s ethics commit-tee is likely now to open an investigation against Kattner, with charges of confl ict of interest and disloyalty to FIFA among potential outcomes.

An emailed request for comment from Kattner was not answered.

Kattner joined FIFA as director of fi nance in 2003 from the McKinsey con-sultancy fi rm, where he worked with the former FIFA president’s nephew, Philippe Blatter, on a proj-ect advising the soccer body.

In 2007, Kattner got the deputy secretary gen-eral title after Blatter hired Valcke for the top admin-istrative job. Kattner was promoted in an interim role when Valcke was sus-pended last September for fi nancial wrongdoing and then fi red in January.

“Markus Kattner has been dismissed from his position eff ective imme-diately,” FIFA said in a statement Monday. “FI-FA’s internal investigation uncovered breaches of his fi duciary responsibilities in connection with his em-

ployment contract.”FIFA has already an-

nounced that United Na-tions offi cial Fatma Samo-ura of Senegal is due to start work next month as the new permanent secre-tary general.

Kattner’s alleged wrong-doing came to light last Friday, the person with knowledge of the latest in-vestigation said, one week after Samoura’s hiring was announced by Infantino.

Kattner was at FIFA headquarters on Monday before his fi ring was an-nounced. His exit is un-connected with the timing of Samoura’s hiring and expected arrival at FIFA, the person said.

“This is based on docu-mentary evidence that is information which emerged in the last three days,” the person said, stating that no whistle-blower was involved in re-vealing the case.

FIFA is being subjected to an internal investiga-tion led by lawyers it re-tained from U.S.-based fi rm Quinn Emanuel, which is working sepa-rately from investigations by federal prosecutors in the U.S. and Switzerland.

home team. He had a beautiful 27-yard recep-tion in tight coverage dur-ing the East’s best drive of the night that ended in a turnover on downs.

Tias Hilliard of MHSAA Class 5A state runner-up Oxford High School re-ceived Defensive MVP honors for the victors while Okolona High School’s Josh Ford won the same award for the East.

NEMFCA offi cials un-veiled two new scholar-ship awards that represent outstanding sportsman-ship and leadership in honor of late coaches Joe Horton of Tippah County and Riley Presley of Boon-eville. Loving and Wood-ard were the inaugural recipients of these presti-gious honors.

Four individuals were enshrined into the NEM-FCA Hall of Fame prior to kickoff . Among the second-ever class of in-ductees were coaching legends Jimmy Dillinger (Baldwyn), Darrell Logan (Bruce), Bob Monroe (Tu-pelo) and Tommy Morton (Pontotoc).

The NEMFCA All-Star Game splits teams based upon the location of their high school either east or west of U.S. Highway 45 from the Tennessee state line to Shannon and U.S. Highway 45 Alternate to the junction of U.S. High-way 82.

The West has captured two straight triumphs and held the East scoreless for six quarters in a row. The two units are tied 2-2 in the all-time results, which dates back to the initial matchup in 2013.

man and South Carolina President Harris Pastides said that camps are part of that recruiting review and “we share the council’s interest in improving the camp environment.”

In other words, there remains room for debate and perhaps change. San-key certainly doesn’t feel the issue is closed.

“If you look at what the board of directors said in its press release, that language from the board agreed with our position, just not that outcome,” Sankey said. “Which seems to raise the issue of why do we have a rule in men’s basketball that we pursuing in football around non-institutional camps. It wasn’t about ge-ography.

“We’ve never once com-plained about individuals coming in and recruiting. You know what, on an ad hoc basis somebody will say, ‘We don’t want them stealing our kids.’ But they say that about each other in our league. It’d be nice if we’d keep all of our play-ers but I don’t think any-body’s under the notion that that’s realistic.”

Other issues on the agenda will include:

■ Time management: The power 5 conferences delayed action on several proposals limiting time

demands on athletes until the 2017 convention, in-cluding mandated time off after a season and weekly off days.

The SEC had also sought a rule prevent-ing football teams from holding practices during spring break — less than a week after Harbaugh said on national signing day that the Wolverines would practice in Florida over spring break.

Sankey said he’s spoken to athletes at all 14 SEC schools over his fi rst year as commissioner to learn about their schedule de-mands.

Spring meetings, he said, will “be our fi rst deep dive with our coaches, with our athletics directors and our presidents with that.”

■ Men’s basketball. It’s a chance for new SEC con-sultant Mike Tranghese, a former Big East Com-missioner, to address the coaches and athletic direc-tors collectively.

“I think part of Mike’s message is, ‘We’re really close,’” Sankey said. “If you look over time, I think any conference has an ebb and fl ow competitively. We’ve had great runs in a number of sports but bas-ketball, we’re in a circum-stances in three of the last four years we’ve had three teams selected for the NCAA Tournament.

it later in the game when I got fouled and my right leg went up,” Green said Mon-day. “I always do it. Russell said I did it on purpose, but he’s part of the superstar group that started all this acting in the NBA.”

Green even pointed to a play at the end of the sec-ond quarter, when Green fouled Westbrook on a long 3-pointer.

“Russell Westbrook kicked me at the end of the half,” Green said. “He just didn’t happen to catch me where I caught Steven Ad-ams.”

Westbrook wasn’t thrilled with Green’s com-ments, calling Green’s foul on the 3-pointer a “dumb play on his part.”

“I’ve never been fi ned for one fl op since I’ve been playing in the NBA,” West-brook said. “I don’t know about no fl opping or noth-ing. I don’t know how to fl op. But it seems like he was the one that was fl ail-ing, kicking his legs out and stuff yesterday. It wasn’t me.”

Green was called for a

Flagrant 1 foul and Adams later noted that Green had kneed him in the same spot during Game 2. The defending champion War-riors trail 2-1 in the series and were waiting to fi nd out if they will play Game 4 on Tuesday night without their All-Star forward if the NBA deems the play worthy of a suspension.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he needs Green at his best when he returns.

“He needs to refocus a little bit,” Kerr said. “He’ll admit it. It was not one of his best games — in fact, it was one of his worst. The great thing with Draymond is he always turns it around. He’s one of the great com-petitors that we have in the league, that we have on our team. When things aren’t looking great, he usually plays his best.”

Kerr knows Green might have made himself a target for the offi cials.

“Does he have to be care-ful? I guess,” Kerr said. “Now, people are watching for him or whatever. He’s just going to play, he’s go-ing to be himself, and we’ll see what happens.”

Green insists the hit that sent Adams to the fl oor wasn’t that big a deal.

“I can see how somebody can think it was intentional, but yet nobody can go in my head and say, ‘Dray-mond was thinking about kicking him and he kicked him,’” Green said. “If you watch my reaction, I walk back to the three-point line, clap everybody’s hands, turn around and look like, ‘What’s the dude on the fl oor for?’”

Green scored six points, made 1 of 9 shots and com-mitted four turnovers in a game to forget. Normally one of the league’s best defenders, he was beaten numerous times individu-ally by the Thunder, and the Warriors were outscored by 43 points with him on the fl oor. With the crowd booing loudly every time Green touched the ball, he couldn’t make plays to shut Thunder fans up.

“That’s what was frustrat-ing to me,” he said. “I was just bad. I missed a couple easy ones and it just kind of killed my whole game. That was pretty frustrat-ing, especially with all the

boos, because I love boos and it usually helps me play well. It was frustrating that I couldn’t get it going.”

Green has been below his standard throughout the series. He’s averaging 13 points on 37 percent shoot-ing in the series, and just 5.3 rebounds and 4.7 as-sists. In the regular season, Green averaged 14 points on 49 percent shooting, 9.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists.

Warriors guard Stephen Curry expects Green to improve. Green bounced back after a poor Game 3 in a fi rst-round loss to Houston to post 18 points, eight rebounds and six as-sists in a 121-94 victory in Game 4.

“He’s mentally strong, so nothing that happened last night is going to aff ect Game 4 except light a fi re probably,” Curry said. “You can look at trends and all that. In the Houston series, he was able to understand what he needed to do dif-ferently. He’s a very smart guy. He has a great eye for the game. I think it matters to him a lot to have an im-pact on the game. He’ll fi nd a way.”
