County attorney Ronald Winsor is keynote speaker at the Memo-rial Day commemoration hosted by the local chapters of the Ameri-can Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The event also honors Gold Star mothers, those who have lost a son in the armed services.

If some were surprised to fi nd Walter Howard Zinn Jr. leading the pack on election night, the lone Democrat was not among them.

Having worked in political cam-paigns, he knew exactly what to expect when the votes were counted on May 12.

“I’m a consultant by trade,” Zinn said in a meeting with the Daily Corinthian on Friday. “Mathematically, we had an-alyzed this thing down to a tee.”

Benefi tting from a fi eld packed with a dozen Republicans, the Democrat ad-vances to the June 2 runoff with Repub-lican Trent Kelly in a bid to replace the late Alan Nunnelee in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Zinn believes he was the only can-didate in the race pitching a different message.

“I realized I had more to offer the con-versation than the kind of ‘kill, repeal, destroy’ message a lot of them advo-cated,” he said. “I had a more diverse background than any of them in this race. I had the most experience of any of them when it comes to dealing with fed-eral resources. I don’t have to be taken to Washington, D.C., and introduced to leadership, because I’ve dealt with them already. I’ve worked with them with get-ting resources for the last seven years.”

The 34-year-old and eldest of six sib-

lings grew up in Pontotoc, and his fam-ily lived in Corinth for a time when he was a child and his stepfather was a minister at Little Zion Missionary Bap-tist Church.

jjohnston@dailycorinthian.comDistrict Attorney Trent Kelly is cam-

paigning on issues of national defense and the economy as the runoff election looms for the U.S. House of Represen-tatives.

An attorney and Iraq War veteran, the Saltillo resident is nearing the end of a term as district attorney for the First Circuit Court District as he sets his sights on Congress.

“I just think it’s a great opportunity to serve the people of north Mississip-pi in the First Congressional District,” said Kelly. “It’s truly the people’s job. You have to be elected every two years, which means you have to stay in touch with your constituency at all times.”

Before his election as district attor-ney, Kelly, 49, had been Tupelo’s city prosecutor since 1999. He has served with the Mississippi Army National guard since December 1985 and is cur-rently the brigade commander for the 168th Engineer Brigade. His service has included three mobilizations, two of which were combat deployments.

The Republican names national de-fense as his top concern.

“We have very real threats to America out there,” said Kelly. “That’s one of the primary goals of the government is to defend its citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic. That being said,

we need to take care of those veterans, those who have served, and who have given of their lives to defend this great nation.”

On economic issues, Kelly favors “a

Ray Bennett never got to meet his hero.

U.S. Army Corporal Elbert Prentiss Bennett of Marietta was transporting troops and refuges by railroad in France on April 7, 1945 when something went hor-ribly wrong. The train derailed and the engine boiler exploded, killing Bennett instantly.

Back in the states the vet-eran left behind his 23-year widow, Mae Wynna Bennett, a

20-month-old daughter Eunice Mae, and a one-month-old in-fant son.

It was little Ray, who 70 years later would be asked to speak at the Memorial Day program on Sunday inside Corinth National Cemetery.

“There is nothing special about me,” Bennett told veter-ans and their families. “But I had a special dad.”

SHILOH, Tenn. — On Me-morial Day as rain fell on the hallowed ground of Shiloh Na-tional Military Park, around 150 people gathered to re-member the brave souls lost in war.

The park superintendent gave their annual keynote ad-dress a new twist with the ad-dition of three fourth grade students, who read their es-says on “What Memorial Day Means to Me?”

“It is sad to me when I think of all of the soldiers we have lost,” said Biggersville Ele-

mentary School student John Thomas Boucher. “We have lost many both in the wars and after, we honor their sacrifi ces on this day.”

A nervous but confi dent Boucher, who loves collecting historic bullets, continued.

“The losses are many from the Revolutionary War to the current war on terrorism. I would like to be able to say that maybe one day there will be no more wars,” Boucher said as he stood in front of the crowd. “I thank all of the soldiers who fought for our country. We will always remember them. I hope they know we love them and their families for all they have done for us.”

Jason Moore and his 6-year-old son, Justin, and 8-year-old daughter, Gracie, visit Shiloh Nation-al Military Park on Monday for the first time. Jason said he brought his kids to Shiloh on Memo-rial Day to show them how important the holiday is. The Moores made the trip to Hardin County from their home in Huntington, near Jackson, Tenn.

provoking remarks hit home for many before him.

“On this day, while you are with your families, friends, at the beach, on a picnic, wherever you may be, don’t forget to remember all of those brave men and wom-en who died to create, protect and defend our country, our families and our rights,” he added.

The park held the essay contest in May among 14 schools with one win-ner selected to repre-

sent each area county. Boucher’s essay was se-lected to representative Alcorn County, while fel-low fourth graders Pey-ton White represented Hardin County, Tenn., and Mae Watson repre-sented McNairy County, Tenn.

The annual Memo-rial Day service included the presentation of fl ags for each branch of the military along with an Armed Forces Medley.

The presentation also included the laying of a wreath on a grave of an unknown solider buried

at Shiloh.“On these grounds lie

over 6,000 Americans -- 4,000 of which are only known to God,” said park superintendent Dale Wilkerson. “Memorial Day is a day for remem-bering the people who have died while fi ghting for our freedom.”

“Let’s honor and re-member them,” he add-ed.

Heavy rains on Mon-day moved the essay readings from Shiloh National Cemetery to the auditorium inside the visitors center.

added Bennett, known as Bro. Ray as he is pastor at Candler’s Chapel in Pren-tiss County. “But he will forever be my hero.”

Corporal Bennett wrote a touching letter to his wife of 3 1/2 years on April 6, 1945, telling his family how much he missed and so wanted to be with them.

He would be another World War II casualty the very next day.

Lamenated for protec-tion from the years gone by, Bro. Ray shared por-tions of the letter with Sunday’s crowd. Some words drew tears. Others drew laughs.

“This is not about me,” stressed Bennett. “It’s about what our veterans went through.”

“I’m honored my dad wrote that letter,” he added. “He so longed to get home and be with his family.”

Bennett always carries his father’s Army dog tag in his billfold, “so I’ll nev-er forget,” shared the pas-tor. His dad is buried in France near the Belgium border.

Bro. Ray’s mom is now deceased. She died in 1991 at the age of 69. After the program, Bennett shared something he didn’t tell the crowd.

His mom never dated another man, nor did she ever remarry. “It would have been okay,” noted Bennett, who served as associate pastor at Wheeler Grove Baptist

Church for 14 years. “But she loved him and never anyone else.”

Bennett was draft eli-gible during the Vietnam War and when his mother got the news he was A1A -- at the top of the draft list -- “she threw a fi t.”

“I told her I needed to serve,” Bennett shared af-ter the program was over.

But Mae Wynna Ben-nett had other plans. When military offi cials learned Ray Bennett was the only son of a veteran who died in World War II, they declassifi ed him.

A young Ray Bennett would never serve his country. Today Bro. Ray and his 71-year-old sister, Eunice Mae Sherrill, re-side on the family farm in Marietta.

The keynote speaker at

Sunday’s program tried to make it clear -- both during the program and to individuals he greeted when it was over -- Me-morial Day is about those who gave their lives for their country.

“When folks threaten our country, I am glad there are men and women ready to put their lives on the line and defend our country,” he told those in attendance.

After several hand-shakes and word of thanks from those pres-ent, Bennett stressed the signifi cance of Memorial Day.

“This is not about me. It’s about those who served and died,” he said.

Profound words, in-deed, coming from a man who never met his hero.

strong economy that’s based on less govern-ment,” with fewer regula-tions on small businesses.

“Our economy is im-proving,” he said. “We want to continue to make sure that Mississippi and especially the First Con-gressional District has the opportunity to be ec-onomically prosperous.”

His fi rst work out of college was with the de-partment store McRae’s, and he completed their training program. Kelly believes his experience in the courtroom and the military have given him some good experience for Congress.

“Most of the things I’m

faced with is ‘failure is not an option,’” he said. “It’s not enough to say that someone is guilty of a crime, or it’s not enough to say that we need to do this objective in the military. You have to fi nd a way with the re-sources that you have to achieve your goals.”

With the DA’s offi ce for a district that in-cludes Alcorn, Tisho-mingo, Prentiss, Lee, Pontotoc, Itawamba and Monroe counties, Kelly said he has managed a similar-sized staff to that of a congressman.

Also, “being a colonel in the Mississippi Army National Guard and a graduate with a master’s degree from the United

States Army War Col-lege, I think that helps me see things on a global and national perspective, and, of course, managing a brigade is another one of those opportunities where I managed 1,400 soldiers and everything from personnel to logis-tics to training to opera-tions and intelligence.”

With the DA’s offi ce, he feels he has already established good work-ing relationships with leaders throughout the region. He maintains a DA offi ce in Corinth as well as Tupelo, treating both as “main” offi ces.

“We love Corinth,” he said. “It’s a very impor-tant economic center in north Mississippi.”

Today in

History

Today is Tuesday, May 26, the 146th day of 2015. There are 219 days left in the year.

 Today’s Highlight

in History:

On May 26, 1940, Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of some 338,000 Allied troops from Dunkirk, France, be-gan during World War II.

On this date:

In 1521, Martin Luther was banned by the Edict of Worms because of his religious beliefs and writ-ings.

In 1865, Confederate forces west of the Mis-sissippi surrendered in New Orleans.

In 1868, the impeach-ment trial of President Andrew Johnson ended with his acquittal on the remaining charges.

In 1913, Actors’ Equity Association was orga-nized by a group of ac-tors at the Pabst Grand Circle Hotel in New York.

In 1938, the House Un-American Activities Committee was estab-lished by Congress.

In 1942, the U.S. War Department formally established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The Tule Lake Segregation Center for Japanese-American war-time internees opened in northern California.

In 1954, explosions rocked the aircraft car-rier USS Bennington off Rhode Island, killing 103 sailors. (The initial blast was blamed on leaking catapult fluid ignited by the flames of a jet.)

In 1960, U.N. Ambas-sador Henry Cabot Lodge accused the Soviets of hiding a microphone inside a wood carving of the Great Seal of the United States that had been presented to the U.S. Embassy in Mos-cow.

In 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Bre-zhnev signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in Moscow.

In 1981, 14 people were killed when a Ma-rine jet crashed onto the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off Florida.

Ten years ago: Presi-dent George W. Bush received Palestinian leader Mahmoud Ab-bas at the White House; Bush called Abbas a courageous democratic reformer and bolstered his standing at home with $50 million in as-sistance.

Five years ago: BP launched its latest bid to plug the gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico by force-feeding it heavy drilling mud, a maneuver known as a “top kill” which proved unsuccess-ful.

“I spent many summers in church conventions across Northeast Mississippi,” he said.

His brother, Damien “ATL” Hughes, is a notable former CHS running back who holds the school’s re-cord for the longest fumble return at 93 yards.

Experiences like attending Mississippi Boys State with the sponsorship of Judge Fred Wicker and then Boys Nation, where he had the op-portunity to meet President Bill Clinton, fueled an inter-est in politics.

“I interned for the same seat I am seeking now when Roger Wicker was U.S. con-gressman,” said Zinn, who holds a bachelor of arts in history and political science from Millsaps College and a juris doctorate from South-ern University Law Center in Baton Rouge.

He has worked on politi-cal campaigns for Jim Hood, Jim Roberts, Travis Childers, Ronnie Musgrove and Carol Richards, among others.

“I’ve had a unique mixture of bedfellows politically for sure, across party lines,” he said.

He hopes to follow the suc-cess of others who hail from Pontotoc.

“I take a lot of pride in that, because it’s where Thad Cochran was born, Roger Wicker was raised, where Jim Roberts is from … I hope to be in that same legacy,” he said.

After managing a success-ful campaign in Jackson for

Harvey Johnson Jr., who would regain the mayor’s offi ce he had lost after two terms, Zinn became senior policy advisor for Johnson and his successor, Chokwe Lumumba. Directing the city’s legislative agenda, he helped the city secure a rare local option sales tax for in-frastructure work. He also co-chaired the city’s commit-tee overseeing the use of $12 million in stimulus funding.

“I’ve had to play the leg-islative process,” he said. “I know how county budgets work. I know how city bud-gets work.”

His key platform points include bringing a “renais-sance in manufacturing” to the First Congressional District, ensuring all chil-dren can read and compute by second grace, promoting equal pay for women, and supporting initiatives that make health care more ac-cessible and affordable.

“Every issue that I discuss is very personal,” he said. “I understand the need for better economics so that my family has better econom-ics.”

Ultimately, the candidate said he wants to be a part of a greater calling and help Mis-sissippi get off the bottom of so many lists.

“Everybody deserves the opportunity to be healthy, raise their family, provide a good home, a good educa-tion,” said Zinn. “That’s the American dream, and that is absolutely broken for so many for far too long. If I can do something about it, that’s why I’m running.”

JACKSON — U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran — the Mississippi Re-publican whose 2014 primary campaign drew national atten-tion over an aspiring blogger’s photos of his bedridden wife — has married his longtime aide, his offi ce said Monday.

The wedding to Kay Webber took place privately Saturday in Gulfport.

The senator’s former wife, Rose Cochran, died in Decem-ber at age 73 from dementia af-ter living in a nursing home for 13 years.

Political blogger Clayton Kel-ly took pictures of a bedridden Rose Cochran in April 2014, and offi cials say he intended to use the images to advance allegations that the senator was having an inappropriate

relationship with Webber. Co-chran’s aides said then that there was nothing improper about the senator’s relationship with Webber.

Webber has worked for Co-chran since 1981, and both are 77, spokesman Chris Gallegos said. Webber makes $165,000 a year working for the senator.

Kelly, of Pearl, faces charges of conspiracy, burglary and at-tempted burglary over the pho-tograph. Kelly’s lawyer ques-tions whether any laws were broken.

Charges against three other men have been resolved.

Richard Sager, a Laurel teacher and coach who had been charged with conspiracy and tampering with evidence, entered a pretrial diversion program. His case won’t be prosecuted if he successfully

completes the program.John Mary of Hattiesburg

pleaded guilty in August to con-spiracy and agreed to cooper-ate with investigators. Mary received no jail time and could have the conviction wiped from his record if he completes proba-tion.

Ridgeland Attorney Mark Mayfi eld, who was charged with conspiracy, died by suicide in June, according to police.

The photograph controversy was only one part of a chaotic 2014 Republican primary in which Cochran was challenged by state Sen. Chris McDaniel, an Ellisville Republican. McDaniel led Cochran and one other Re-publican candidate in the June 3 primary. But Cochran rallied and defeated McDaniel by 7,667 votes in a runoff three weeks later, in part by making appeals

to typically Democratic African-American voters.

McDaniel fi led a lawsuit claim-ing the runoff results were taint-ed by voting irregularities. A cir-cuit judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying it was fi led too late. The state Supreme Court upheld the dismissal Oct. 24.

Cochran was fi rst elected to the U.S. House in 1972 and won his fi rst six-year term in the Sen-ate in 1978. He waited until late last year to announce he was seeking re-election, weeks after McDaniel had entered the race and lined up fi nancial support from groups that sought to un-seat longtime Republicans.

Cochran cruised to victory in the general election with 60 per-cent of the vote.

As Cochran’s aide, Webber makes $165,000 a year, Gal-legos said.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — With its four-year observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War now past, the National Park Service is turning its attention to a lesser-known period of American history: the era of Reconstruction after the war.

The agency is embarking on a yearlong study to inventory sites throughout the South and beyond that are important to telling the sometimes-bloody story of Recon-struction — a time when 4 million blacks, freed from slavery, worked to build lives as a free people.

There also was some backlash from white southerners dealing with the Confederate defeat and coping with the end of the South’s system of slave labor.

The National Park Service is un-dertaking what it calls a national historic landmark theme study. It plans to identify nationally impor-tant sites dealing with the Recon-struction era from the Civil War through 1900 that could be desig-nated national historic landmarks.

Robert Sutton, the agency’s chief historian in Washington, said the way that historians view Recon-struction has changed over the years.

“The old interpretation was that it was a disaster, that they did too much too soon and people weren’t really ready and it was mostly a negative thing,” Sutton said. “In the last 50 years, the research has been the complete opposite and that it was a very progressive pro-gram that did tremendous good and the real tragedy was that it

ended.”Schools for blacks were built,

blacks gained the right to own land, and some were elected to Congress, he said. But at the same time, hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan began to rise.

The study is being conducted with the help of two leading his-torians of the Reconstruction era - Kate Masur from Northwestern University in Chicago and Greg Downs of City University of New York.

Michael Allen, based at the Charles Pinckney National Histor-ic Site on the South Carolina coast, is one of the National Park Service staffers working with the study.

He helped conduct a similar study that led to creation of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor reaching along the coast from the Carolinas to Florida. Now he’s turning his attention to Re-construction.

“This is a reconnaissance to have an understanding of what exists, what can be researched and what can be visited,” he said. “It’s also being done to expand people’s horizons and knowledge of that time.”

Numerous South Carolina com-munities, including Snowden in Mount Pleasant and Liberty Hill in North Charleston, were started by freed blacks after the war, Al-len said — and there are dozens of similar ones throughout the South.

The study will be wide, Sutton said, adding it also will look at sites that might be associated with the Ku Klux Klan and the backlash during Reconstruction.

Charity Navigator should make this an informal rule: If your charity is employing Sid-ney Blumenthal, it automati-cally goes on the watch list.

The ethical controversies around Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have often seemed 1990s redux, and never more so than when a New York Times story resurfaced long-time Clinton loyalist Blumen-thal.

According to the Times, from a perch at the Clinton Foundation, Blumenthal was sending Secretary of State Hillary Clinton memos on Libya that she forwarded around the State De-partment, even though they were occasion for eye-rolling by the professionals.

For those who don’t remember the 1990s, Sidney Blumenthal is the former writer for The New Republic, The Washington Post and The New Yorker whose devotion to the Clin-tons was too much even for his fellow journal-ists.

He eventually traded in his status as a quasi-Clinton apparatchik for offi cial Clinton appa-ratchik, taking a job at the White House. He was noted for his conspiratorial thinking and nasty, highly personalized, whisper-campaign politics. Much can be learned about his smash-mouth style by studying the social behavior of the spotted hyena.

Here we are in 2015, when everything old is not new again but as tiresome and toxic as it was 20 years ago. Ultimately, Blumenthal himself isn’t the issue. What’s interesting isn’t the suckerfi sh per se, but what it tells us about the shark.

When the Obama team went with Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, it undertook a high-stakes experiment never before attempt-ed: Could it hire a Clinton and, with enough rules and constraints, force him or her to act in a manner above reproach? The Blumenthal affair is yet another indication that the answer is a resounding “no.”

Blumenthal happened to be sending Hill-ary memos about Libya at the same time that he was in league with people trying to make money in Libya.

Let’s think about this. One scenario is that Blumenthal’s would-be business associates got together and thought: “We need to fi nd the best expert we can on North Africa, some-one who understands the subtleties of Libyan political and tribal dynamics. Let’s get Sidney Blumenthal!”

Another is that they thought: “We need to fi nd someone who is in tight with the Clintons and has a back channel to Hillary so, when the time comes, the State Department will give our venture the most favorable possible con-sideration. Let’s get Sidney Blumenthal!”

The Blumenthal story underlines what we already knew or suspected about Hillary’s tenure as secretary of state and at the Clinton Foundation.

She portrays herself as the picture of open-ness, explaining how she wants her emails public as soon as possible. But we wouldn’t know about the Clinton-Blumenthal corre-spondence but for the exertions of a Roma-nian hacker.

For all its good works, the Clinton Foun-dation was a political slush fund and holding tank for Clinton operatives. Presumably, the March of Dimes manages to get along without paying former government offi cials as they scheme to return to power.

The ethics of Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state were atrocious. In what world is it OK for the secretary of state to get and pass along back-channel advice from a friend about a country where he has business interests at stake?

Finally, it’s impossible to credit “the new Hillary” so long as she is dependent on the same old cronies. Asked about Blumenthal, Hillary said his emails were her effort to make sure she wasn’t “caught in the bubble.” Be-cause nothing keeps you intellectually fresh and on your toes like emails from a loyal hatchet man of some 20 years and counting.

A verse to share

I didn’t attend my com-mencement ceremony at American University in Washington, D.C. I chose instead to receive my de-gree in the mail. I didn’t want to listen to a boring speaker, likely unaffi liated with the school or anyone in it, drone on in Washington’s notorious summer heat.

Too bad graduates of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy did not have the same op-tion. They had to endure a commencement address by President Obama on “cli-mate change.”

Linking the rise of Islam-ic terrorism to a warming planet, the president told the grads, “Understand, cli-mate change did not cause the confl icts we see around the world. Yet what we also know is that severe drought helped to create the insta-bility in Nigeria that was exploited by the terrorist group Boko Haram. It’s now believed that drought and crop failures and high food prices helped fuel the early unrest in Syria, which descended into civil war in the heart of the Middle East.”

Really? Are young girls and women being raped and forced into slavery because religious fanatics can’t grow crops on arid land? Marie Harf, a State Department

spokeswom-an, recently claimed that lack of jobs is what turns people into t e r r o r i s t s . Which is it?

If “climate change” made t e r r o r i s m possible, how

does the president explain violent jihadism dating back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad, long before car-bon was a concern, or even a footprint? If unemployment causes terrorism, millions of jobless Americans would be taking up arms.

No amount of evidence will dissuade a climate change cultist that he is wrong, but for students who might Google the subject for a term paper, let’s try.

Responding to the presi-dent’s address, Marc Mo-rano, who runs climatede-pot.com (with numerous links to scientifi c studies, including data from NASA, NOAA, and other cred-ible sources) said this: “It is hard to even take today’s speech by Obama seriously on either a logical, scien-tifi c or political level. The speech was so farcical in its claims that it hardly mer-its a response. It is obvious that the climate establish-

ment is seeking new talking points on ‘global warming’ to change the subject from the simple fact that global temperatures are not coop-erating with their claims.”

Don’t you love farce?According to Remote

Sensing Systems (RSS) data, “Since December 1996, there has been no global warming at all. ... A new record length for the Pause: 18 years 5 months. ... The discrepancy between prediction and observation continues to widen.”

In fact, extreme weath-er has failed to follow the alarmist predictions of cli-mate change cultists. Data readily available and linked to scientifi c studies through climatedepot.com has found no trends, or declin-ing trends when it comes to the frequency of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, fl oods and wildfi res.

What about the multi-year drought in California, you might ask? According to NOAA, in 2014 rainfall in California returned to its normal pattern, though reservoirs will take a while to replenish. Republican presidential candidate Car-ly Fiorina calls the most re-cent drought “a manmade disaster. With different pol-icies over the last 20 years, all of this could be avoided.”

Appearing on Glenn Beck’s radio program, Fiorina added that the “tragedy” of California is that the state has “suffered from droughts for millennia” and still “lib-eral environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir or a single new water convey-ance system over decades during a period in which California’s population has doubled.”

Francesco Femia, co-founder of the think tank Center for Climate and Se-curity, speaking with Moy-ers and Company’s John Light, claims “climate change” contributed to the civil war in Syria. Various liberals back him up.

The Coast Guard Acade-my graduates deserved bet-ter from their command-in-chief. At least Kermit the Frog – who “spoke” at Southampton College on Long Island in 1996 – was entertaining. President Obama’s address was just more hot air on a subject many Americans believe doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. For them, Islamic terror-ism, not droughts, ice or tornadoes, presents a far greater clear and present danger.

Obama’s hot-air commencement address

Sugar Ditch is broke after 20 years of living the high life.

In 2006, river gaming revenues peaked in the river counties at about $1.7 billion. Now it’s under a bil-lion. That’s a huge blow to this once high-fl ying indus-try.

Tunica County gaming has borne most of the drop, falling from $1.2 billion in 2006 to $738 million last year. Gulf Coast gaming has fared much better, but still falling from a peak of $1.3 billion in 2007 to a billion today.

Like many industries, competition and the inter-net are to blame. Half the states in the U.S. now al-low commercial gaming, up from two states in 2006. There are now Indian-owned casinos in 37 states, up from none in 1987.

Overall, gaming is up sol-idly throughout the nation over the last two decades. Americans lost $17 billion to the casinos in 1995. Last year, it was $69 billion. On-line gaming revenues in the U. S. are estimated at over $40 billion.

The problem is that Mis-sissippi is losing market share. Mississippi gaming revenues haven’t been this low since 1997.

Competing casinos are now as near as West Mem-phis, Shreveport and Ala-bama.

The effect on Mississip-pi’s tax revenue is about a $175 million decline. That’s enough to fully fund the Mississippi Adequate Edu-cation Program.

Local governments have been devastated as well, none more so than Tunica County.

In 2007, Tunica County received a whopping $32 million in gaming revenue. That number has almost been cut in half, prompt-ing the board of supervisors to attempt to raise taxes by millions. The county is $70 million in debt and broke.

So broke that a three-member bloc of Tunica su-pervisors voted to withhold the City of Tunica’s 10 per-cent share of the casino tax revenue. The supervisors claim the state legislation allocating the county-city split is unconstitutional.

The city has responded by accusing the county in writ-

ing of a “deliberate violation of a valid state law. “The city gets 80 percent of its reve-nue from gaming taxes. The matter is now being fought in the courts.

Other Mississippi coun-ties are carefully watching this legal battle. Millions of dollars are on the line. Tunica County’s withhold-ing of the money has put the city in dire straits. It’s a huge mess.

Bear in mind that for de-cades, Tunica County got by with no casino revenue at all 20 years ago when it had 30 percent fewer residents. Given the loss in revenue, you would think the county would make an effort to sig-nifi cantly cut expenses. In-stead, the three-supervisor voting bloc is continuing its high-fl ying spending ways. For instance, a $3 million tornado shelter is in the works. These storm shel-ters, which have been built all over the state, are un-used boondoggles.

In the process, Tunica su-pervisors stuck it to the ca-sinos, raising their taxes 50 percent, a move the casinos called “crippling,” Soon, 90 percent of the county’s $35 million budget will come

from the casinos.Even after the huge ca-

sino tax increase, there is still a bit shortfall. With only 5,000 households in Tunica County, additional tax increases would also be a huge burden. Many lower-income residents don’t pay property taxes. This leaves the affl uent minority to car-ry the load.

This has the makings of a complete governmental meltdown. Behind it all is the spectre of race. The county voting bloc is all Af-rican American and the City of Tunica is majority white.

You can’t have a govern-mental disaster like this without secrecy. Indeed, the supervisors have been using executive session to keep out inquiring minds.

State auditor Stacey Pick-ering has gotten involved, warning the supervisors they could be held person-ably liable for withholding funds from the city.

Next month, retired Cir-cuit Judge Henry Lackey (of Dickie Scruggs fame) will hear motions from both sides in the city-county dispute. Let’s hope he moves expedi-tiously before the meltdown does irreparable damage.

Casino revenues see uptick on river, coast

JACKSON — Gamblers lost more money at Mis-sissippi casinos in April, as continued gains at Gulf Coast gambling halls were joined by a rare up month at casinos along the Mississippi River.

State Department of Revenue figures show casinos statewide won $177.1 million from gam-blers in April, up 8.1 per-cent from $163.8 million in April 2014.

The 11 coastal casi-nos won $94.3 million, up 11.5 percent from April 2014. The 17 river casinos won $82.8 mil-lion, up 4.4 percent from last year.

It’s the ninth month in 11 that revenue rose along the coast, but only the third time in 34 months along the river. Overall casino revenue has risen 1 percent for the first four months of 2014.

 King’s daughters say aides poisoned him

LAS VEGAS — Two B.B. King heirs who’ve been most outspoken about the blues legend’s final days are accusing King’s two closest aides of poisoning him.

Daughters Karen Wil-liams and Patty King allege in documents provided by their lawyer to The Associated Press that King’s business manager, LaVerne Toney, and his personal as-sistant, Myron Johnson, killed their father.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg (FYOU’-den-berg) said Monday that an autopsy was per-formed Sunday on King’s embalmed body, and test results will take up to eight weeks.

Las Vegas police Lt. Ray Steiber confirmed that homicide detectives are investigating.

The coroner says King’s body has been returned to a mortuary, and the investigation shouldn’t delay planned memorials this week in Memphis, Tennessee, and Indianola, Missis-sippi.

 None die in possible tornado in Monroe

AMORY — Trees and buildings are damaged in Monroe County after a possible tornado hit

Amory and Smithville.Monroe County Emer-

gency Management Agency Director Robert “Bunky” Goza says no deaths or injuries were reported from the storm, which hit about 9 a.m. Monday.

Goza says tree dam-age is widespread in cen-tral Amory, with power out. Harbormaster Scott Cox says trees and boat sheds were damaged at the Smithville Marina.

Marlene Mickelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee, says forecasters ob-served a severe thunder-storm with rotation. She says a Weather Service team will survey damage and determine if it was caused by a tornado.

 Hospital could lose Medicare funding

JACKSON — Officials have warned that a Jack-son hospital it could lose Medicare funding if the hospital does not change how it handles emergen-cy care patients.

Merit Health Central Hospital, formerly known as Central Mississippi Medical Center, has been criticized for trans-ferring some emergency patients to other hospi-tals, The Clarion-Ledger reports.

Federal law prohibits “patient dumping,” in which a hospital trans-fers patients to another hospital because they can’t pay.

Merit officials deny such practices have taken place, saying that doctors who make the decision to transfer patients have no knowl-edge of the patients’ financial situations.

Sandra Pace of the Centers for Medicare &

Medicaid Services wrote to the hospital’s CEO Lisa Dolan on May 13, saying the hospital’s approach to emergency patients is dangerous. Pace says Medicare could sever its ties with the for-profit hospital by June 5.

“We have determined that the deficiencies are so serious that they constitute an immedi-ate threat and jeopardy to the health and safety of any individual who comes to your hospi-tal with an emergency medical condition,” Pace wrote.

 Minister among four charged in sex crime

MCCOMB — A Mc-Comb minister is among four former police offi-cers charged with sexual activity with a jail inmate.

The Enterprise-Journal reports that a county grand jury charged each on two counts of sexual activity with an inmate at the Marion-Walthall Cor-rectional Facility.

They’re identified as Vansan Josea Oatis, now minister at Walker’s Chapel Free Will Baptist Church; Justin Codey Herrington, Richard Charles Pack and Mi-chael Williams.

Online phone direc-tories did not include numbers where The Asso-ciated Press could reach them for comment Sun-day. There was no imme-diate response to a mes-sage left on the church’s answering machine.

Oatis and at least one other former officer worked at the Columbia police department. He resigned; the other was fired.

Oatis was arrested last week and has posted $10,000 bond.

Woman’s dayslong drill protest ends

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The woman who had been hanging off the anchor chain of a sup-port ship that is part of Royal Dutch Shell’s plans to explore for oil in the Arctic Ocean ended her dayslong pro-test north of Seattle on Monday morning.

Student activist Chi-ara D’Angelo requested assistance getting down from her perch on the Arctic Challenger in the Bellingham harbor around 9:30 a.m. Mon-day, the Coast Guard said.

D’Angelo was checked for hypothermia and then released, Petty Of-ficer 3rd Class Katelyn Shearer said.

She spent the week-end attached to the ship in an environmen-tal protest against Shell’s plans to drill for oil in the Chukchi Sea off northwestern Alaska. The oil compa-ny’s proposal also has drawn large protests in Seattle, where a mas-sive, floating drill rig is being prepared for the excursion.

A second protester, Matt Fuller, joined D’Angelo from Saturday morning until Sunday.

The Coast Guard cutter Ospry spent the weekend monitoring the activists but took no ac-tion, Shearer said.

Shell said Sunday that the illegal stunt would not delay its plans.

“We respect the rights of individuals to express their views related to our Arctic pro-gram, so long as they do so safely and law-fully,” company spokes-man Curtis Smith said.

 Slaying by ex-guard brings up questions

NEW YORK — At the height of the evening rush in Brooklyn, Gilbert Drogheo took a subway ride that he didn’t sur-vive.

Drogheo, a 32-year-old electrician’s ap-prentice and father of a 5-year-old daughter, was fatally shot in a crowded station by another man who said he wanted to appre-hend him for assault. The shooter, William Groomes, wasn’t a po-lice officer — he was

a 68-year-old former city jail guard who was licensed to carry a con-cealed weapon.

Despite the emer-gence of a cellphone video showing Groomes appearing to pursue Drogheo before the shooting, prosecutors declined last month to charge him. The deci-sion has left Drogheo’s grieving family dismayed and raised questions about the line separat-ing self-defense from vigilantism.

“I’ve watched the video 100 times, and I still ask myself, ‘Why wasn’t he charged?’” said Drogheo’s mother, Linda Rodriguez. “It makes me so angry. ... It’s like he got away with murder.”

Groomes, who retired in 1993, hasn’t spoken publicly. However, his supporters say Drogheo was the aggressor and Groomes had a right to protect himself.

Groomes “is taking this very, very hard,” said Norman Seabrook, president of the city jail union. “It’s sad be-cause he lives with this every day.”

 Residents praise paid family leave

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — As President Barack Obama pushes for a federal law to get paid leave to care for a new baby or an ailing rela-tive, residents of one of the three states that already provide it sing its praises, hinting at the reception it could receive if rolled out na-tionally.

Rhode Island last year began allowing work-ers to take up to four weeks of paid leave. Many workers say they love the program, and employers say it hasn’t hurt business as some had feared.

Anne Quirk, of Provi-dence, had planned to take three months of unpaid leave from her job as a speech lan-guage pathologist after she gave birth. But she needed five months off after her doctor or-dered her on bedrest on Mother’s Day last year; then, her son was born prematurely in June.

“It was just such a stress reliever, knowing there was going to be money to help us pay the bills,” said Quirk, who gushed about the

program to Obama when he visited Rhode Island in October. “I don’t know what we would’ve done without it.”

About 5,000 people have taken paid family leave in Rhode Island so far. New Jersey and California are the other states that provide it, and several states are considering it. Washing-ton state passed leg-islation but has put off implementing it.

The United States is the only industrialized nation that doesn’t mandate paid leave for mothers of newborns. Obama wants Con-gress to allocate more than $2 billion to help states create paid fam-ily and medical leave programs, and he wants to provide federal work-ers with additional paid leave.

 Health care case could have fallout

WASHINGTON — A Supreme Court ruling due in a few weeks could wipe out health insurance for millions of people covered by Presi-dent Barack Obama’s health care law. But it’s Republicans — not White House officials — who have been talking about damage control.

A likely reason: Twen-ty-six of the 34 states that would be most affected by the ruling have Republican gover-nors, and 22 of the 24 GOP Senate seats up in 2016 are in those states.

Obama’s law offers subsidized private insur-ance to people without access to it on the job. In the court case, oppo-nents of the law argue that its literal wording al-lows the federal govern-ment to subsidize cover-age only in states that set up their own health insurance markets.

Most states have not done so, because of the intense partisanship over “Obamacare” and in some cases because of technical problems. Instead, they rely on the federal HealthCare.gov website.

If the court invali-dates the subsidies in those states, an esti-mated 8 million people could lose coverage. The results would be “ugly,” said Sandy Prae-ger, a former Kansas in-surance commissioner.

ARLINGTON, Va. — President Barack Obama on Monday saluted Americans who died in battle, saying the country must “never stop trying to fully repay them” for their sacrifi ces. He noted it was the fi rst Memorial Day in 14 years without U.S. forces engaged in a major ground war.

Speaking under sunny skies to some 5,000 peo-ple in an amphitheater on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cem-etery, Obama said the graveyard is “more than a fi nal resting place of he-roes.”

“It is a refl ection of America itself,” he said, citing racial and religious diversity in the back-grounds of the men and woman who paid the ulti-

mate sacrifi ce to preserve “the ideals that bind us as one nation.”

His appearance is an annual rite for presidents at the cemetery nestled among verdant hills over-looking the Potomac Riv-er. It came months after the end of the U.S. com-bat mission in Afghani-stan, where the number of stationed troops has been reduced to about 10,000 from a peak of more than 100,000.

His tribute also took place against a back-drop of the increasingly complex U.S.-led effort to help Iraq defeat the Islamic State extremist group, which has been gaining momentum in re-cent weeks by capturing Ramadi there and taking Palmyra in neighboring Syria.

Obama made no men-tion of America’s partici-

pation with other nations in the effort to stop the Islamic State. His effort there has come under in-tensifying criticism since the fall of Ramadi with lawmakers calling for a bigger show of American force there, including ground troops.

Vice President Joe Biden spoke Monday with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and pledged full U.S. support for Iraqi ef-forts to reclaim territory from the Islamic State, in-cluding by speeding up the provision of U.S. training and equipment, the White House said.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter had said in a na-tionally broadcast inter-view aired Sunday that Iraqi forces “showed no will to fi ght” and fl ed as the Islamic State ad-vanced on Ramadi. The White House said in a statement that Biden’s call “recognized the enor-mous sacrifi ce and brav-ery of Iraqi forces over the past 18 months in Ramadi and elsewhere.”

In his remarks at Arling-ton National Cemetery, Obama said most of the remaining troops should be removed from Afghani-stan by the end of 2016.

He recognized the more than 2,200 “patriots” who sacrifi ced themselves in Afghanistan, including the fi nal two to be killed before the U.S. combat mission ended late last year. He also recognized

the fi rst American killed during the “new mission” to train Afghan forces, an Army medic who died in April.

Earlier, troops stationed in that war-wracked country observed a mo-ment of silence in honor of fallen comrades there.

Presaging Monday’s solemn event at Arlington was the roar of motor-cycle engines throughout the nation’s capital on Sunday as thousands of bikers saluted veterans with Rolling Thunder’s “Ride for Freedom.” That was followed by a concert of patriotic music Sunday evening and Obama’s pri-vate breakfast Monday at the White House with representatives of vet-eran and military fam-ily service organizations. A Memorial Day parade also was held Monday in downtown Washington.

North Dakota marked the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking for the state’s Veterans Cem-etery south of Mandan. Gov. Jack Dalrymple di-rected all state agencies to fl y the U.S. and state fl ags at half-staff, a practice put in place across the coun-try. In South Dakota, Gov. Dennis Daugaard asked state residents to observe the president’s request that Americans unite in prayer at 11 a.m. local time and that a moment of silence be observed at 3 p.m. for the National Mo-ment of Remembrance.

Obama honors fallen soldiersBY DARLENE SUPERVILLE

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A bill in Ohio seeks to expand access to treat-ment for certain sexu-ally transmitted diseases by allowing doctors to prescribe medication to their patients’ part-ners without examining them.

Licensed health pro-fessionals in Ohio must fi rst see patients before prescribing them anti-biotics. But legislation before state lawmakers would create a limited exception for partners of patients who have been diagnosed with chla-mydia, trichomoniasis or gonorrhea. The aim is to reduce infections.

Ohio is one of four states that prohibit ex-pedited partner therapy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Others are Florida, West Virginia and Kentucky.

Ohio’s rate of reported gonorrhea and chla-mydia cases is higher than the national aver-age, with most cases oc-curring among residents ages 15 to 24.

For every 100,000 people in Ohio, 460 have chlamydia and 144 have gonorrhea, accord-ing to 2013 health statis-tics from the CDC. Ohio ranks seventh among states in its rate of re-

ported gonorrhea cases, and 19th in its rate of re-ported chlamydia cases.

Republican state Rep. Steve Huffman, a physi-cian from Tipp City, said he was surprised to learn that Ohio lagged behind others in permitting ex-pedited partner therapy. He co-sponsored the bill.

Now, Ohio doctors can only encourage infect-ed patients to tell their partners they should be seen and treated, Huff-man said. But it’s diffi -cult to get young people, particularly men, to seek medical care.

“This is solving a prob-lem that’s already hap-pening,” he said.

The legislation would permit a prescriber to treat up to two partners of one patient without examination. Those partners could remain anonymous. But if their names are given, the nurse or doctor must try to reach them. The bill also requires pharma-cists to explain potential side effects of the medi-cation.

Partner treatment pro-posals in West Virginia and Kentucky passed House committees but failed to gain traction before state lawmakers adjourned for the year.

The CDC has en-dorsed expedited part-ner therapy for chla-mydia and gonorrhea since 2006 and says evidence shows it’s an effective prevention strategy. Chlamydia can permanently damage a woman’s reproductive system, making it diffi -cult or impossible to get pregnant later on.

Dr. Gail Bolan, direc-tor of the CDC’s divi-sion of STD prevention, said reluctance at the state level to expedited partner therapy often refl ects the attitude of the clinical community. Physicians are trained to not provide care with-out a good-faith exam of their patients, so the approach is a change in thinking.

“Unfortunately, we found that sometimes the clinical provider community doesn’t re-alize that doing nothing is actually causing more reproductive health harm for women in their state than (expedited partner therapy) is,” Bo-lan said.

What is your goal in life? The selection is rather long. Many never really set a goal for themselves. If we aim for nothing, this is usually our accomplishment. Some say I want a large plot of land to farm and graze a large herd of cattle... or I want to be a successful business person or I want to be a honest politician. These are noble goals in life and can successfully achieved. That person who set goals in life and leaves God out is a very foolish person. The Bible “...for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15) That is a very sobering thought, is it not? Jesus provides true guidance in setting correct goals in life. First - am I a child of God? We become such by obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many have not grasped that goal yet, but Christ has grasped that goal for every accountable person. The Bible”... come unto me-” (Matt. 11:28) “Behold I stand at the door, and knock, if any man hear my voice, are you listening, and open the door, I will come in-” (Rev. 3:20). All human efforts fail. There is no alternate route to redemption. Knowledge gives birth to faith. By putting faith in Christ one comes to know Him. Repentance calls for man to change a life style The Bible - “Repent or perish...” (Luke 13:3-5) Tell the community that I have changed - confess the sweetest name of all. The Bible - “...I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God” (Acts 8:37). “Now, why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized. and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” (Acts 22:16). Show your faith in Christ - obeying Him, trusting Him to save you, Is this your goal? If not, why? Set your goal to follow Christ. It is only now - this life time. The Bible identifi es many who failed to follow the Lord’s instruction. We must not make that mistake. Noah and the Ark. (Gen. 6-7). The wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. (Gen. 18). We have another lovely story about a man who chose not to obey and serve God - but he chose to ignore God and he died. He asked for Abraham’s help, but was denied. Moses and the prophets were his teachers, but he ignored them. My friends, do not make the same mistake... Read Luke 16:19-31. What can we learn? Set your goal to obey and serve Christ - Now. You are always welcome to Northside, Read your Bible.

Daily Corinthian • Tuesday, May 26, 2015 • 7

You don’t have to settle for less than you want.

L o w e r -ing of one’s standards is more c o m m o n than striv-ing to boost results. Re-ducing ex-pectations obviously r e q u i r e s less effort.

But if you want less and get less, will you really be content?

All too often we hear discouraging comments such as, “stop dream-ing,” “that’s not realis-tic,” “you’re expecting too much,” or “that’s just not possible.” Believing these statements cause us to lower our expectations.

Our measure of accept-ability is then reduced ac-cordingly.

Taking this approach leads to a life of medi-ocrity. You accept what is rather than expecting what could be. Excuses are used to justify where you are. When you settle, absence of pain is inter-preted as happiness. Lack of sadness becomes hap-piness.

Lowering the bar to accommodate medioc-rity causes a decline in results. A case in point is the approach used by school districts in re-sponse to worsening stu-dent test scores. In order give the illusion of more successful students, the minimum passing grade is lowered. This approach effectively sanctions me-

diocrity instead of boost-ing performance.

Are you taking the same approach in your life? Do you settle by lowering your standards to make circumstances feel better than they actually are? The trap is comparing one situation to another one which is even worse. In so doing, the better situation can be justifi ed in com-parison to how bad things were or could be.

Jon always had a vision of what he wanted in an ideal personal relation-ship. He felt it should be one of mutual caring and sharing, where each was an equal partner con-cerned about the wellbe-ing of the other. The reality of Jon’s relationship with Mary was much different than what he imagined it

should be. They’re inter-action fl uctuated a great deal. There were constant ups and extreme downs. Jon never knew what would be transpiring next.

The low points were complete agony for Jon. During those periods, he felt frustrated, sad, and depressed. As much as he suffered, Jon was hesitant to end the relationship. He had been together with Mary for several years and didn’t have a lot of self-confi dence that he would be able to fi nd an-other relationship. Fur-thermore, when things were calm, Jon felt good.

Even though the rela-tionship on the best days was clearly not what he used to hope for, compared to the worst days, they seemed outstanding. Jon

was settling for less than what he really wanted. He made excuses to justify re-maining where he was in-stead of working to achieve his ideal situation.

Jon was settling for, “It’s the best I can do.”

This is just one exam-ple. The same scenario plays out with jobs, living situations, friends, recre-ation, etc. It’s not an issue of who is right and who is wrong. The important fo-cus is whether or not you are achieving what you really want.

Waiting for circum-stances to improve is not an effective strategy. De-liberate action is required to either transform your situation into what you were hoping for or change to a more desirable path.

Achieving your dreams

takes persistence. Not everything works out as planned. Don’t become discouraged. Don’t give up. It takes as much effort to suffer and settle as it does to achieve what you want.

Formulate standards based on comparison to other people or situations. Remember that true joy is much more than absence of sadness.

Dare to Live Without Limits

BOONEVILLE — North-east Mississippi Commu-nity College students got a chance to understand history in a unique setting during the 2015 spring se-mester.

Twenty-eight students along with three North-east instructors made the short trek to the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn.

As part of the studies in the classes of instruc-tors Ken Baroff, Will Bowlin and Seth Pounds, the students were learn-ing about the Civil Rights Movement throughout American history and the

instructors used the trip to help students better understand some of the concepts that the courses covered.

Many of the students that were part of the trip were members of the col-lege’s U.S. History classes but others, who had a keen interest in the his-tory of the nation, went along as well.

In addition to the sol-emn nature of the Nation-al Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, the students were able to see the Bluff City and even took part in watching the marching of the ducks at the Peabody Hotel.

Students see museum

Twenty-eight Northeast Mississippi Community Col-lege students along with three Northeast instructors got to visit the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn., during a field trip to the Bluff City during the 2015 spring semester. As part of their studies in the classes of instructors Ken Baroff, Will Bowlin and Seth Pounds, the students were able to relive some of America’s history while learning about the Civil Rights Movement.

Associated PressJACKSON — The Mis-

sissippi Department of Education is moving for-ward with a proposed policy to regulate when schools can use seclusion or restraints on unruly students, according to a newspaper report.

The Clarion-Ledger re-ported Sunday that the agency plans to have a task force create a fi nal draft of a proposal written last month in response to some teachers’ controver-sial discipline practices.

The proposed policy would prohibit school dis-tricts from using chemical restraints, such as seda-tives, or mechanical re-straints like straps, the paper reported. It added that physical restraint or seclusion would only be allowed if the child’s be-havior poses “imminent

danger” to the child or to others. All incidences also would have to be record-ed, and the child’s parents would have to be notifi ed, according to the report.

“I think it’s long over-due,” said 3rd District U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper, the Republican con-gressman who in 2013 co-sponsored federal leg-islation seeking to estab-lish minimum standards for the practice. It didn’t pass.

Board members won’t vote on the policy until after a mandatory public comment period.

If the proposal is ad-opted, Mississippi would join several other states that implemented similar policies after U.S. Secre-tary of Education Arne Duncan urged school dis-tricts in 2012 to review the matter.

Officials moving closer to restraint policy vote

Associated PressWASHINGTON — The

Islamic State group’s take-over of the Iraqi provin-cial capital Ramadi has prompted criticism from Defense Secretary Ash Carter and raised ques-tions about the Obama ad-ministration’s strategy to defeat the extremist group.

The Islamic State group, which had already seized a strategically im-portant swath of the Mid-dle East, seized Ramadi in central Iraq a week ago, which has revived con-cerns about U.S. efforts to fi ght the group.

The Obama admin-istration’s approach in Iraq is a blend of retrain-ing and rebuilding the Iraqi army, prodding the Shiite-dominated govern-

ment in Baghdad to rec-oncile with the nation’s Sunnis and bombing Is-lamic State group targets from the air without com-mitting American ground combat troops.

President Barack Obama’s strategy is predi-cated on Baghdad grant-ing political concessions to the country’s alienated Sunnis, who are a source of personnel and mon-ey for the Islamic State group. But there has been little visible progress on that front. Baghdad has continued to work closely with Shiite militias backed by Iran, which have been accused of atrocities against Sunnis, a religious minority in Iraq that ruled until Saddam Hussein fell from power.

Celebrate the Class of 2015 with photos from graduations at Alcorn Central High School,

Biggersville High School and Corinth High School coming in the Sunday, May 31, Daily Corinthian.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Those close to you will sense how you’re feeling. Then again, so will complete strangers, and perhaps with even more accu-racy. If infl uencing others is on the agenda, be sure to put your-self in a terrifi c mood before you leave the house.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a chant inside you, a mantra repeated from morning to night, waxing and waning in intensity throughout the day. This inside talk is not necessar-ily true. Challenge it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you reach out in joy and curiosity, life meets you with enthusiasm and inclusiveness. You don’t require the people you meet to delight you, but they will anyway!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The work you do today to accept your thoughts and manage your expectations will lead to your next leap in emotional maturity. It is said that the strong master others, but the powerful master

themselves.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Neu-

trality is not negativity. Don’t con-fuse the two. Someone’s neutral feelings toward you could turn positive with a smile and a kind word. Try that before you as-sume a person doesn’t like you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do birds change their tune? Sure, they do it all the time in their ef-forts to communicate clearly to one another. You’ll change your tune, too. It’s not duplicitous; it’s accommodating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The things that seem like tiny coincidences are not. They are evidence of your role in a larger web of consciousness. When what you think of materializes in some funny way, it’s a wink from the universe to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your social icebreaker will be a joke that’s self-deprecating, but only slightly. Go too far with that, and it seems disingenuous. To-night, what’s fun is also good for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Crushes are not only for schoolgirls. They’re for anyone who’s ever been infected by someone’s person and gotten carried away with the impres-sion in spite of themselves. Someone’s crushing on you now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can always reinvent yourself, but it’s more diffi cult in familiar settings. That’s why the new environment today is an op-portunity not to be missed!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve been an angel before. Remember when you appeared at the right time to help some-one? You’ll be an angel again as you stay aware of your environ-ment and respond accordingly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s no need to swim up-stream right now. There’s a time to fi nd your inner salmon, but this isn’t it. You’re not being called back to the shore where you were born, so fl oat along today.

D E A R ABBY: I’m a 48-year-old woman. I have known I was gay since I was 14.

No one knows be-cause I nev-er acted on it until I met “Bob,” my

current common-law husband of 25 years.

I fell in love with his sister, “Janelle,” back then.

We kissed a few times and fell deeply in love, but because we didn’t want to hurt Bob, we ended what we had.

Bob and I raised my son, who is being married this year. Through all these years my feel-ings and Janelle’s have never changed.

We love each other and want the chance to be together that we were denied back then.

I have given Bob 25 faithful years. I love him, but I am not in love with him. We are like two ships passing in the night. He has a temper and is vindictive. I want out of this relationship to be with his sister.

I have asked her to marry me, and she agreed. We don’t want to hurt Bob, but we love each other.

Please advise me how to tell my husband I want out and want to be with his sister. — WANTS OUT BACK EAST

DEAR WANTS OUT: Consid-ering that Bob has a temper and can be vindictive, I suggest you do it in stages.

The fi rst is to tell him that you are not happy in the marriage and haven’t been for a long time.

Depending upon your talent as an actress for the last quarter-century, he may or may not be surprised.

Then it will be time to tell him that you have known for a long time that you were more attract-ed to women than to men. Be-cause you can’t predict how he will react, do it in the presence of someone else -- but NOT Janelle.

Because there can be legal ramifi cations regarding a com-mon-law marriage, you should discuss this with a lawyer before telling Bob you want a divorce.

Only after you have left him and several months have elapsed should you and his sis-ter let it be known that you plan to have a life together.

I say that because vindictive people with nasty tempers can be violent.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are in our 50s and have legal custody of three of our grand-children, who are between the

ages of 3 and 8 years old. We have been raising them

since birth.My wife is nearing the end of

her battle with cancer. My family -- my mother, sib-

lings and son -- keep asking me what I’m going to do when my wife passes away.

They say they know people who would adopt the children. I don’t wish to be nasty, but I need to let them know that I am able to take care of my grand-children.

Can you please tell me how to tell my family that I can raise my grandchildren without hurt-ing their feelings like they have hurt mine when they mention adoption? — HURT GRANDFA-THER IN PENNSYLVANIA

DEAR HURT: Yes, the words to use are: “When you say that to me, it hurts me deeply, so please don’t say it again. I will raise these children just as I always have, and I do not plan to ever turn them over to strang-ers.”

Period. Expressing it this way is not

hurtful; it clarifi es your feelings.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

xwordeditor@aol.com

Dear Annie: My hus-band and I meet up with a group of family and close friends every week for lunch.

One couple in this group (a close family member and her spouse) constant-ly blow their noses during our get-togethers.

They use cloth hand-kerchiefs, which are then reused multiple times, and her husband picks his nose, as well. It is nause-ating to all of us, not to mention to other diners nearby.

A few of the couples have told us they will not attend any more lunches unless absolutely neces-sary.

We do not want a fam-ily feud, but I think we need to do something be-fore our social gatherings fall apart.

The one with the most appalling manners is a college graduate with an excellent job.

You would think he would know better, but it’s diffi cult to tell him anything.

How do we fi x this without alienating them altogether? — Sickened and Frustrated

Dear Sickened: Peo-ple who believe they are entitled to nau-seate others because they have sinus issues are not likely to lis-ten to anyone. Some friends and family tol-erate these unpleas-

ant encounters be-cause they value the person enough to put up with the constant nose blowing, no mat-ter how unappetizing. Yet these tolerated friends do not seem to give the same value to their companions’ sensitivities.

(There is no ex-cuse for picking one’s nose.)

While we under-stand and sympathize with folks who have terrible allergies and need to dab at their noses frequently, that is not the same as ma-jor nose and throat clearing where mucus exits the system.

For those moments, a trip to the restroom is called for, even if that means absent-ing yourself from the table more often than you’d like. The other alternative, of course, is to meet at a place where you will not be eating. It’s the com-bination of food and snot that makes this so unpleasant.

Dear Annie: This is for “Hopeless,” who likes a boy who asked for her

phone number, and now she is waiting for him to call, which he hasn’t.

I could have written that letter. I, too, liked a guy, and after six months, he asked a mutual friend for my phone number. But he never called. An-other six months went by while I waited. Finally, I asked him out.

It turns out, he was so shy he couldn’t make the call. Even after we began dating, it took him three years to ask me to marry him because he was so afraid I’d turn him down -- even though we were only seeing each other and I loved him.

So, I’d like to tell her to hang in there. Her guy may be terribly shy and inexperienced, so be patient and take it slow. If he’s anything like my guy, he’ll be worth the wait. We’ve been married for 30 years now and are still going strong. — Been There

Dear Been: A lot of young women don’t realize that guys can be shy, no matter how sure of themselves they may seem on the surface. It takes cour-age to ask a girl out, and rejection can be hard to take.

Women have lived with this for centu-ries, but we don’t al-ways consider that guys may have the same insecurities.

Bears release McDonald after domestic violence arrest

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Chi-cago Bears released defensive end Ray McDonald following a domestic violence arrest in Northern California that police say stemmed from an as-sault on a woman who was holding a baby. McDonald was taken into custody at 7 a.m. Monday on suspi-cion of domestic violence and child endangerment, Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke said.

Police say the assault happened at his home in Santa Clara. He was found about three hours later at a home in San Jose and arrested.

Police did not disclose if the wom-an or the baby were injured.

The Chicago Bears released a statement Monday afternoon about the decision to let McDonald go.

“We believe in second chances, but when we signed Ray we were very clear what our expectations were if he was to remain a Bear,” General Manager Ryan Pace said in the state-ment.

OMAHA, Neb. — UCLA’s dominance in the Pac-12 this spring impressed the Divi-sion I Baseball Committee so much that the Bruins on Monday were awarded their fi rst No. 1 national seed for the NCAA tournament.

The Bruins (42-14) edged out Southeastern Conference regular-season champion LSU (48-10) even though they lost two of three at Or-egon in their last series.

“UCLA has been there for much of the season. LSU is an outstanding club as well. There’s such a fi ne line be-tween the two,” said commit-tee chairman Dave Heeke,

athletic director at Central Michigan. “UCLA did not lose a series until that last week-end. They were a powerful group throughout the entire year. Ultimately, it was very close, but they were deemed to be our No. 1 overall seed.”

The other six national seeds, in order, are: Louis-ville, Florida, Miami, Illinois, TCU and Missouri State.

The tournament opens Friday with 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals. Best-of-three super region-als are next week, with those winners moving to the Col-lege World Series in Omaha.

National seeds that win their regionals play at home in super regionals. Since the

NCAA went to its current tournament format in 1999, only one No. 1 national seed — Miami in 1999 — has won the championship.

UCLA didn’t even make the tournament last year, follow-ing its 2013 national champi-onship with an injury-riddled 25-30-1 season.

The Bruins have bounced back on the strength of a pitching staff that leads the nation with a 2.16 ERA and a much-improved offense that’s batting .285 and aver-aging better than six runs a game.

This is the third time since 2010 UCLA has earned a na-tional seed. UCLA starts the tournament in Los Angeles

against Cal State Bakersfi eld. Maryland and Mississippi also are in the Bruins’ region-al.

Bruins coach John Savage was to speak to reporters later Monday.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri’s team has been the consensus No. 1 team in the major polls for a month. He said he had no problem with the selec-tion committee’s decision on national seedings. The Ti-gers have one of the country’s most powerful offenses, bat-ting .320 and scoring 7.2 runs a game. They lost to Florida in the semifi nals of the SEC tournament.

CONCORD, N.C. — Joe Gibbs has had many special nights in football and auto racing. Few were bigger than Sunday’s showing in the Co-ca-Cola 600.

The head of Joe Gibbs Rac-ing had plenty to celebrate: Kyle Busch returned to points racing and fi nished 11th; Matt Kenseth won the pole and

ended fi fth; and Denny Ham-lin, the All-Star Race winner last week, fought for a title be-fore fi nishing seventh.

The highlight, though, was Carl Edwards’ fi rst victory for his new JGR team in NAS-CAR’s longest race.

“In so many ways,” said Gibbs, the three-time Super Bowl winner with Washing-ton and three-time NASCAR championship team owner,

“it’s a big deal for us.”Things for JGR may get

even bigger this season.Edwards becomes the third

of four Gibbs’ racers with a victory, just about locking them into NASCAR’s 10-race, year-end championship chase. Gibbs said the pro-gram can now concentrate on getting Busch into contention after he missed three months because of a serious accident

at Daytona three months ago.Gibbs’ plans when he

brought in Edwards as a fourth team are taking shape in a big, big way.

“We’ve taken a long time to catch up, I’m not saying we’ve caught up” to other power programs like Hendrick Mo-torsports and Stewart-Haas Racing, Gibbs said. “Over the

INDIANAPOLIS — Extra! Extra! Juan Pablo Montoya still had to pay $2 to read all about it.

On a gray and blustery Monday morning, the Co-lombian spent more than two hours on the Yard of Bricks taking the customary India-napolis 500 winner photos. His voice was shot, his mood soaring.

And when the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s delivery-man rode a bicycle of news-papers over to Montoya and asked how many he wanted, Montoya asked for two. But he had no cash in the pockets of his fi resuit, and a scramble ensued to locate the money needed for Montoya’s two pa-pers.

With a seven-fi gure payout looming for winning Indy, Montoya could afford the

purchase.His second Indianapolis

500 victory generated the bold-print, feel-good head-lines IndyCar needed after a month dominated by fl ying cars, safety concerns and a se-riously injured driver.

But Montoya’s win served as a bright reminder that a classic comeback and a thrill-ing fi nish in front of a packed house can provide the series with the juice it needs to draw

attention to the foundering series.

“It was some race when you think about how we started the month, all the issues, the negative things that came out about the racecars,” winning car owner Roger Penske said. “It was a safe race. The world saw the race that we wanted to see come out of Indianapo-lis, the “Greatest Spectacle in

PARIS — Maria Sharapo-va was unfazed by the boos she heard when leaving the center court of Roland Gar-ros on Monday without treat-ing the crowd to a post-match interview. After all, she had good reasons to rush to the locker room.

Battling a cold that had her coughing at times during the match, the defending cham-pion was not in the mood for small talk after beating Kaia

Kanepi 6-2, 6-4 in the fi rst round, having been made to work harder than the score-line suggested.

“Of course I totally under-stand, everyone usually does post-interviews and answers a few questions to the crowd,” said Sharapova. “It’s abso-lutely normal. I’m not making any excuses, but I’ve got to do what I have to do.”

The second-seeded Sharapova, who completed a career Grand Slam in Paris when she fi rst won the title

in 2012, is trying to become the fi rst woman to success-fully defend her crown at the clay-court tournament since Justine Henin in 2007.

She also entered last year’s French Open nursing an ill-ness.

“I got sick a week before the tournament, not right be-fore,” she said. “So I guess it’s a little bit better timing. But it’s just the way it is. I’m get-ting over it, and hopefully it will pass by soon.”

Sporting an elegant striped

long-sleeved shirt, Sharapova made 21 unforced errors and dropped her serve once in each set as Kanepi responded to her forehand attacks with powerful groundstrokes. The gritty Estonian saved a match point in the fi nal game, before a double-fault gave Sharapo-va the win.

“I had a tough opponent ahead of me,” Sharapova said. “Overall I’m just happy I got through and have a day off to-

Comeback victoryFormer Kossuth quarterback Weston Bobo (1) looks for an open receiver as Calhoun City’s Christopher Easley (73) blocks New Site’s Koie Jackson (13) during the annual Northeast Mississippi Football Coaches’ Association All-Star Football Game. Bobo came on to lead the West squad in the last minute to its third straight win at Northeast.

Racing.” Oh, did Indy-Car need that thrilling fi nish.

Three cars went air-borne last week, leading to a chaotic qualifying day and prompting last-minute rule changes as the series tried to keep the cars on the ground. A day after that, James Hinch-cliffe sustained a life-threatening leg injury in a crash unrelated to the fl y-ing cars. He’s expected to make a full recovery, but watched Sunday’s race from his hospital bed.

What Hinchcliffe and everyone else saw was a frantic battle between Team Penske and Chip Ganassi Racing, the titans of open-wheel racing who fi elded a combined nine cars.

They were the class of the fi eld in dueling Chev-rolets and the two organi-zations combined to lead all but seven of the 200 laps. It became a three-driver battle as the laps ticked off, with Montoya, teammate Will Power and Ganassi driver Scott Dixon clearly the drivers to beat.

last two races here, it’s a big deal for us.”

Edwards won his fi rst Coca-Cola 600 with a gutsy call from crew chief Darian Grubb to pit earlier than most com-petitors and stay on the track while the fi eld was diving in for full tanks and fresh tires. Edwards held off Greg Biffl e over the fi nal laps for his 24th career Sprint Cup vic-tory.

For Edwards, the win was more special be-cause of what it meant to those like Gibbs, who took a chance the talent-ed driver was capable of bigger things.

“I have been stressed, you can ask the people close to me. I’m just so competitive and I’m not happy with how we’ve

performed and the re-sults,” Edwards said. “I feel like this is a gift. As much as I’ve been frus-trated, this is truly a gift.”

And one that’s been shared with the entire organization this season.

Kenseth had made a big splash with seven wins in 2013 when he, like Edwards, left Roush Fenway Racing to join Gibbs’ crew. Then the former NASCAR cham-pion was shut out last season before rebound-ing with a win at Bristol last month.

Hamlin won 14 races between 2010-2012 with Gibbs, but just one each the next two seasons. He, too, has shown renewed power this spring with a victory at Martinsville in March and last week’s $1 million win in the All-Star event.

morrow, and I should be better by then.”

Venus Williams will have all week off after exiting the tournament in the fi rst round for the second time in three years.

Venus, who was beat-en by younger sister Serena in the 2002 fi nal, lost 7-6 (5), 6-1 to 40th-ranked Sloane Stephens, a 22-year-old up-and-coming American play-er.

In men’s play, Tomas Berdych began his quest for a fi rst Grand Slam ti-tle with an easy 6-0, 7-5, 6-3 win over Japanese qualifi er Yoshihito Nish-ioka and third-seeded Andy Murray eased past lucky loser Facundo Ar-guello 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.

In an era dominated by Novak Djokovic, Ra-fael Nadal, Roger Feder-er and Murray, winning a major might some-times look beyond reach. But the big-hitting Czech is not giving up hope.

“Everything has been

aimed for this tourna-ment,” the fourth-seed-ed Berdych said. “I’m feeling well. I’m feel-ing physically, mentally strong, and that’s the best possible start that I can have.”

A runner-up at Wim-bledon in 2010, Berdych also made it to the semi-fi nals at the French Open that year. The Czech is playing at Roland Garros for the 12th consecutive time and has reasons to believe he can match his best result in the French capital.

After hiring Andy Murray’s former coach Dani Vallverdu, Berdych has been in consistent form this year, reach-ing the semifi nals at the Australian Open and fi nishing runner-up in Doha, Rotterdam and, more recently, at the Monte Carlo Masters. But he wants more.

“Being closer or not closer in the end doesn’t really matter,” Berdych said. “Just the winners are counting, and that’s how it is.”

“A lot was made of, ‘Are we going to be the No. 1 overall seed?’ I wasn’t the least bit con-cerned about it,” Main-ieri said. “UCLA is very deserving of that honor. We would have been de-serving as well. It really doesn’t matter.”

Defending national champion Vanderbilt was among a group of teams considered for one of the last two na-tional seeds. The Com-modores, runners-up to Florida in the SEC tour-nament, start the NCAA tournament at home against Lipscomb.

The Atlantic Coast Conference and SEC tied for most qualifi ers with seven apiece. The Pac-12 has six teams in the tour-nament, and the Big Ten set a conference record with fi ve NCAA teams.

Teams making their

fi rst appearances are conference tournament champions Radford (Big South) Florida A&M (MEAC), Houston Bap-tist (Southland) and Cal State Bakersfi eld (WAC).

Two teams got in with losing records, North-east Conference cham-pion Sacred Heart (23-30-1) and Patriot League champ Lehigh (25-29).

Twenty-seven of the 64 teams were in the fi eld last year.

Miami is in the tour-nament for a record 43rd consecutive year. Florida State qualifi ed for a 38th year in a row.

According to the selec-tion committee, the last four teams in the fi eld were Maryland, South Florida, Oregon and Clemson.

The fi rst four out were North Carolina, Mis-souri, Michigan State and Southern Missis-sippi.

BY TOM WITHERSAP Sports Writer

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James hurts everywhere, the King of Pain.

One win from taking the Cavaliers back to the NBA Finals, and one step closer to a title he covets more than any other, James leaned against a padded wall on Monday and hard-ly resembled basketball’s most undeniable force.

“I’m feeling all right,” he said, forcing a smile that showed he wasn’t be-ing entirely truthful. “I’ve been better, but I’ve been worse. I think I’ve been worse.”

James moved slowly and not with his usual grace one day after his brilliant performance in Game 3 lifted Cleveland to a 114-111 win over the At-lanta Hawks in overtime, moving the Cavs within a

victory of their fi rst Finals appearance since 2007.

James wore a sleeve on his right calf, which cramped so severely he asked to be taken out Sunday night before re-considering. Instead, he pushed through the pain and delivered 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 as-sists — all after an 0-for-10 shooting start — to help the Cavs take a 3-0 series lead. He’s battered, not beaten. James isn’t going to let anything stop him. Not now. Not this close to his fi fth straight Finals or a championship.

“When you want to win, you’ve got to sacrifi ce your body feeling good,” he said. “That’s just what it’s about.”

With a win on Tuesday night, the Cavs can clinch the Eastern Conference title and get some rest before a Finals match-

up presumably against Golden State, which leads Houston 3-0 heading into Monday’s Game 4. James has been down this path before, but never one so bumpy. Cleveland’s sea-son has been strewn with obstacles: extreme expec-tations, chemistry issues, trades and injuries, in-cluding ones in the post-season to forward Kevin Love and All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving, who has missed the past two games with an injured left knee. James has never been on a team that’s had to surmount as much.

Before the season began, James predicted this — molding a new team into a title contender — would be the greatest challenge of his career.

“I felt it would be, and it is,” he said.

The Cavs need one more win over the ris-

ing Hawks, who showed resiliency in Game 3 by overcoming a 10-point defi cit in the fourth when they appeared done. One play here, one there and Atlanta wouldn’t be in a 3-0 hole that no team in league history has been able to climb from.

Despite overwhelming odds, the Hawks won’t quit.

“No matter what hap-pens, we’re still going to be confi dent,” forward Paul Millsap said. “We believe in our team. We believe in the guys that we have. We feel like we can do some-thing special, whether this year, next year, whatever. We’re going to stick to this. It’s not over ‘til it’s over.”

For James, the only ending he can envision is winning his third title and ending Cleveland’s 51-year championship drought.

The Vikings were a group of people from Scandinavia (the area which is now Norway, Denmark, and Sweden) who sailed the seas of Europe from 700 to 1000 AD. The Vikings were also known as Norsemen, or Northmen, because of where they came from. At home they were farmers, but abroad they were fierce warriors at sea; the term Viking meant pirate. Vi-

kings sailed in longships. These ships were long, double-ended vessels, powered by many oars. Manpow-er was always abundant among the Viking raiders, which made robbing and pillaging an easy task. They stole many riches as they conquered lands in Europe. Most Vikings were at sea as a result of overcrowding in their homelands. Although the Vikings all eventually converted to Christianity, they originally believed in what is now referred to as Norse mythology, centered on the Viking heaven, Valhalla. Vikings believed that this was the resting place of all Scandinavian warriors, especially those who died in battle. The leader of Val-halla was the god, Odin. Upon death, the Viking joined Odin’s army. Another popular character from Norse mythology, which has recently been depicted in popular movies, was the Norse god, Thor. Thor was said to have a hammer that only he could carry. History often depicts the Vikings’ attire to include a helmet adorned with horns. There is no real evidence to support this theory.
