WASHINGTON A 24-year-old vet-
eran who lost an eye after taking a gre-
nade blast in Afghanistan to save a fellow
Marine received the nations highest mil-
itary honor Thursday in a somber White
House ceremony.
President Barack Obama walked from
the brieng room, where he had just an-
nounced plans to send up to 300 U.S. mil-
itary advisers into Iraq, to the East Room,
where he praised retired Cpl. William
Kyle Carpenters instinctive valor and
called him a shining example for a post-
9/11 generation.
Carpenter should not be alive today,
but the fact that he is gives us reason to
trust that there is indeed a higher power,

Chelsea Clinton hasnt
been on NBC for 4 months
BY DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK Chelsea
Clinton under scrutiny
for her pricey contract with
NBC News hasnt been
featured since January, but
the network says it does ex-
pect two completed stories
to air soon, and two others
are in the works.
Bill and Hillary Clintons
daughter, who was hired
in 2011, has done just a
smattering of reporting for
NBC News. Last week, Po-
litico reported she is being
paid $600,000 a year. Polit-
ico also said the 34-year-
old, who is expecting her
rst child later this year, is
now on a month-to-month
contract that would ease
her departure should her
mother decide to run for
president in 2016.
The news division would
not go into detail about
Clintons contract or her
work when contacted by
The Associated Press. A
Clinton spokesman, Kamyl
Bazbaz, referred questions
to NBC.
NBC News has aired
two stories by Chelsea Clin-
ton so far in 2014, both on
education programs tar-
geting the
underpri v-
ileged that
were shown
on Night-
ly News
in January.
NBC indicat-
ed, however,
that Clin-
ton has done two stories
that are expected to air on
Nightly News shortly and
two others for which lm-
ing has been scheduled.
Clinton is also busier with
outside work, reportedly
taking a more active role
in her parents foundation,
and NBC wanted to avoid
the appearance of a con-
ict by having her on the
air around the time Hillary
Clinton was doing a round
of media interviews about
her new book.
Clinton began work at
the network in November
2011. She was the second
presidential daughter to get
work at NBC; Jenna Bush
Hager, daughter of George
W. Bush, is a Today show
correspondent. Besides
Nightly News, Clinton
was hired to do stories for
Brian Williams Rock Cen-
ter newsmagazine, which
has since been canceled.
Hired in 2011, Clinton is paid $600K
a year according to Politico

BY SAM KIMBALL
BAR ELIAS, Lebanon The
Syrian children sat in guarded si-
lence as the clowns tumbled out
in a blur of colorful polka dots and
suspenders, then burst into laugh-
ter as one of the performers kicked
her glittery high heels into the air
to the toots of a blue trombone.
One of the clowns strummed
a guitar while gliding around on
stilts. Another, his face painted like
a sad mime, juggled three white
globes in the air in a show set
against the backdrop of a make-
shift tent camp in Lebanon.
For the 50 or so children in
attendance, all of them refugees
from the civil war in neighboring
Syria, the clowns provided a brief
escape from the horrors theyve
seen and the challenges of grow-
ing up far from home. They are
among the more than 1 million
Syrians who have ooded into
Lebanon over the past three years,
eeing a war that has ripped apart
their homeland.
One of the performers, Sabine
Choucair, said clowning around is
the best thing you can do for peo-
ple eeing a war zone who are
feeling unsafe, who are feeling un-
happy, and feeling horried.
I think the only philosophy be-
hind this is having fun, she added.
The 45-minute show in a camp
in Bar Elias, in Lebanons Bekaa
Valley, was put on by Clowns With-
out Borders, an international hu-
manitarian group that uses laugh-
ter to help those suffering from
the trauma of armed conict.
Aid groups are struggling to
meet the needs of the estimat-
ed 2.7 million refugees who have
ed Syria, most of them women
and children. With resources
stretched, providing food, shel-
ter and other basics often comes
ahead of treating the less visible
psychological wounds.
But for some refugees, crack-
ing a smile and breaking into
full-throated laughter is an import-
ant part of healing.
People ask, Is clowning worth-
while? Should we spend money on
clowning? I look at the show to-
day and say yes, said 34-year-old
David Clay, a volunteer joined by
Choucair, Chilean Claudio Marti-
nez and fellow American Luz Gax-
iola.
In crisis situations its easy to
forget how to (laugh), Clay said.
In Bar Elias the show was a hit,
with the children clapping excited-
ly at the end of every trick. When
the clowns nished the show and
tried to pack up, the children de-
manded that they join them in an
impromptu dance.
For Syrias displaced children,
clowns know laughing matters

CENTENNIAL, Colo.
A judge on Thursday
sentenced a former Colo-
rado sheriff to 15 months
in prison for repeatedly
violating his probation in
a meth-for-sex case, saying
the lawman, who was once
regarded as a hero, had
exhausted his opportuni-
ties to reform.
Patrick Sullivan was
sentenced two years after
pleading guilty to plying
young men with metham-
phetamine in exchange for
sexual favors. The 71-year-
old was once named the
nations top sheriff and
won praise for his leader-
ship of the Arapahoe Coun-
ty Sheriffs Department in
the Denver suburbs.
I have a drug prob-
lem, and I have had a drug
problem for some time,
Sullivan said in court on
Thursday, apologizing
before Judge William Syl-
vester issued his sentence.
I have only myself to
blame.
Sullivan was arrested in
December 2011 after au-
thorities arranged a sting
that revealed he was trad-
ing methamphetamine for
sex. Months earlier, a 911
caller reported Sullivan
was at his house trying to
get three recovering ad-
dicts back on drugs.
He later pleaded guilty
to possession of metham-
phetamine and solicitation
of a prostitute. Sylvester
sentenced him to 30 days
in jail and two years pro-
bation.
The courtroom erupted
in applause on Thursday
as deputies handcuffed
Sullivan and took him into
custody, though some had
hoped for a harsher sen-
tence.
Sul l i van
told the
judge he
was bene-
ting from
an in-pa-
tient drug
t r eat ment
program he
recently enrolled in after
missing or failing dozens
of drug tests.
But his probation of-
cer, Hallie Miller, said
his purported efforts to
reform were a front, and
he continued to lie and
make excuses for his risky
behavior. He blamed pos-
itive meth tests on every-
one from a doctor who
prescribed him pills to
a neighbor who he said
drugged him at a barbe-
cue, Miller said.
In January, Sullivan left
the state without permis-
sion. In May, he tested
positive again for meth.
He sees himself as
above the law, Miller said.

WAGSTER PETTUS
JACKSON Retired
NFL quarterback Brett
Favre pitches his support
for Sen. Thad Cochran in
a new TV ad paid for by
the U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce.
Its the latest in a string
of celebrity endorsements
in a hard-fought and of-
ten bizarre race in which
a tea-party backed can-
didate, state Sen. Chris
McDaniel, is trying to
unseat the former Senate
Appropriations chairman
in a Republican primary
runoff next Tuesday.
The U.S. Chamber of
Commerce is spending
$500,000 for TV ads to
support Cochran, includ-
ing the Favre spot that
started airing Thursday.
Ive learned through
football that strong lead-
ership can be the differ-
ence between winning
and losing, scruffy-beard-
ed Favre says in the ad.
And when it comes to
our states future, trust
me: Mississippi can win
and win big with Thad Co-
chran as our strong voice
in Washington.
Former GOP presi-
dential candidates Sarah
Palin, Rick Santorum and
Ron Paul have been to
Mississippi to campaign
for McDaniel, as have the
parents from the reality
show 19 Kids and Count-
ing, Jim Bob and Michelle
Duggar, and their oldest
son, Josh Duggar, director
of the lobbying arm of the
conservative Family Re-
search Council.
Chuck Woolery, who
hosted TV game shows
such as Love Connection
and The Dating Game
and is now a prolic con-
servative on social media,
is scheduled to campaign
for McDaniel as part of
a Tea Party Express bus
tour that starts Friday in
McDaniels home county.
Republican Gov. Phil
Bryant and former Sen.
Trent Lott have done TV
ads for Cochran, and the
incumbents campaign
says Sen. John McCain
will stump for Cochran on
the Gulf Coast on Sunday.
The celebrity endorse-
ments add another twist
to a campaign character-
ized by bizarre happen-
ings that have nothing
to do with governing. In
mid-May, four McDaniel
supporters were arrested
and charged in what po-
lice describe as a plot to
illegally photograph Co-
chrans wife in the nursing
home where she has lived
for years with dementia; a
photo was briey posted
online in late April in an
anti-Cochran video. That
case awaits grand jury
consideration.
After the June 3 prima-
ry, three McDaniel cam-
paign representatives be-
came trapped in a locked
county courthouse in the
middle of the night, hours
after ofcials had stopped
their initial vote count. No
criminal charges were
led.
As for Favre, he grew
up in the small Missis-
sippi coastal town of Kiln
and now lives outside
Hattiesburg. In the ad,
he says Cochran always
delivers, just like he did
during Katrina. Its a ref-
erence to billions of feder-
al dollars that Mississippi
received after Hurricane
Katrina left a wide swath
of destruction across the
southern half of the state
in 2005.
Citizens United Politi-
cal Victory Fund says it is
spending $100,000 to air
a pro-McDaniel ad with
Santorum speaking di-
rectly to the camera about
challenges in Washington:
Reckless spending, soar-
ing national debt and re-
pealing Obamacare. But,
we can overcome these
challenges by sending
new conservative leaders
to tackle them. Chris Mc-
Daniel has the courage to
ght for our shared val-
ues.
Later Thursday, San-
torum campaigned with
McDaniel at a barbecue
in the Jackson suburb of
Madison, telling about
250 people that McDaniel
will work to simplify the
tax code and end waste-
ful spending on federal
programs that trap Amer-
icans in poverty. He un-
derstands how govern-
ment can be very, very
cruel and harmful, Santo-
rum said.
And while Cochran is
getting support from Mc-
Cain now, they havent
always had a smooth re-
lationship. Months before
McCain won the 2008
GOP presidential nomina-
tion, Cochran, who sup-
ported Mitt Romney, told
the Boston Globe about
the Arizona senator: The
thought of his being pres-
ident sends a cold chill
down my spine. Hes er-
ratic. Hes hot-headed. He
loses his temper, and he
worries me.
Asked about that
Thursday, Cochran cam-
paign spokesman Jordan
Russell told The Associ-
ated Press that the work-
ing relationship between
Cochran and McCain has
improved: I guess they
buried the hatchet.

Board members are de-
laying a decision on how
large a budget increase to
seek from Mississippi law-
makers.
The board voted Thurs-
day to delay the decisions
until June 27, saying they
wanted to learn more
about the large increases
universities were seeking
for some research units.
The states eight pub-
lic universities asked the
board to seek a total in-
crease of $84.8 million
in the 2016 budget year.
Though the 2015 budget
year doesnt begin un-
til July 1, agencies are
already preparing 2016
requests in advance of
budget hearings later this
summer.
I think the general
consensus of the board
is we need more detail to
justify the increases, said
Aubrey Patterson of Tupe-
lo, chairman of the boards
Finance Committee.
The boards Finance
Committee also consid-
ered a smaller overall
request seeking an addi-
tional $61.4 million an
8.2 percent increase. That
would limit all units to 5
percent more, even those
that have no students and
thus cant raise tuition to
collect money.
In the last two budget-
ing cycles, the system
has asked for smaller
amounts, but has persuad-
ed lawmakers to give the
universities almost all of
what they asked for. For
example, earlier this year,
the Legislature approved
a $29 million increase in
what the state spends on
universities, most of the
$32 million the College
Board sought. Some other
agencies made requests
for much larger amounts
and walked away with less
than the universities re-
ceived.
Theres little dispute
about a proposal to put
$32 million more, a near-
ly 9 percent increase, into
a formula that allocates
money to universities
based in part on how many
credit hours students
complete. The board also
wants $8 million would
go into a special projects
fund it would control.
Mississippi State Uni-
versity and Alcorn State
University proposed 12
percent increase for their
agricultural research
units. MSU ofcials said
that university is consid-
ering a 5 percent pay in-
crease next year, and be-
cause federal and county
funds might not increase
as much as the state mon-
ey, the units could have
to make cuts to be able to
match that.
The University of Mis-
sissippi Medical Center
sought a $17 million in-
crease, which would boost
its state funding by 9 per-
cent to $205 million.
We need to have some
increase when the eco-
nomic and political envi-
ronment allows, Ole Miss
Chancellor Dan Jones
said.

WASHINGTON
Most people who signed
up under President Barack
Obamas health care law
rate their new insurance
highly, but a substantial
number are struggling with
the cost, according to a poll
released Thursday.
The survey from the
nonpartisan Kaiser Family
Foundation provides nd-
ings that both sides in the
health care debate can seize
on. Its an ambitious look at
people who buy their cover-
age individually; theyre the
ones most affected by the
Affordable Care Act.
The critics view of
the law as an unmitigated
disaster is far from true,
but its not what advocates
might have hoped for either
because many people still
have concerns about afford-
ability, said Drew Altman,
CEO of the foundation, an
information clearinghouse
about the health care sys-
tem.
The poll found that
Obamas law is achieving
one of its main goals by
covering the uninsured.
Fifty-seven percent of the 8
million people who bought
a plan through the new in-
surance exchanges were
previously uninsured.
But greater access to
coverage has come at a
price thats uncomfortably
steep for many.
Despite the availability
of generous subsidies, 4 in
10 of those who bought a
plan that meets the laws
specications said they
had difculty paying their
monthly premiums. Thats
a sobering reality check on
assertions by the Obama
administration that cover-
age is readily affordable.
Overall, employer cover-
age got much better ratings
in the poll than did health
law plans, which are meant
for self-employed people
and workers without access
through their jobs.
Poll: Many still struggle to pay health premiums
Fifty-seven percent of the 8 million
people who bought a plan were
previously uninsured

WASHINGTON For years,
the U.S. has been clear about its
intent to step back from Iraq. The
restrained American military aid
now being offered to defend Bagh-
dad against a ferocious Sunni in-
surgency reafrms the Obama
administrations mantra that Iraq
is still largely on its own.
What hundreds of thousands
of U.S. troops, during more than
eight years of war, apparently
could not achieve in training Iraqi
forces to defend the nations vast
deserts and dusty towns is now
being tasked to a few dozen teams
of Green Berets and other special
forces and stepped-up surveil-
lance.
On Thursday, President Barack
Obama ordered 300 special forces
soldiers to advise joint operations
in and near Baghdad, marking the
rst return of a U.S. ghting force
since the military left Iraq in 2011
after a war that killed nearly 4,500
American troops and more than
100,000 Iraqis.
The White House is not ruling
out potential airstrikes against
Sunni insurgents as well, but no
time soon, and is deeply reluctant
to do so.
And Obama, who has little de-
sire to return to the battleground
of what he once termed as a
dumb war, is holding fast to his
pledge that American forces will
not be sent into combat.
But faced with a costly and
bloody U.S. investment in Iraq
combined with a growing regional
threat posed by the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant Obama
could no longer ignore the dis-
tress signals from Baghdad. The
rst U.S. special forces soldiers
are to land in Baghdad soon, and
a Navy aircraft carrier and war-
ships arrived in the Persian Gulf
in the latest front of Americas
military intervention in Iraq since
1990.
It is in our national security
interests not to see an all-out civil
war inside of Iraq, not just for hu-
manitarian reasons, but because
that ultimately can be destabi-
lizing throughout the region,
Obama told reporters in announc-
ing the restrained military help.

About 75 workers at the
Centers for Disease Con-
trol and Prevention may
have been accidentally
exposed to dangerous an-
thrax bacteria this month
because of a safety prob-
lem at some of its labs in
Atlanta, the federal agen-
cy revealed Thursday.
Independent experts
say it appears to be the
largest incident involving
anthrax, a potential bio-
terrorism agent, in a U.S.
lab in at least a decade.
CDC ofcials say the risk
of infection seems very
low, but the employees
were being monitored or
given antibiotics as a pre-
caution.
Based on the inves-
tigation to date, CDC
believes that other CDC
staff, family members,
and the general public
are not at risk of exposure
and do not need to take
any protective action, a
statement from the agen-
cy says.
The problem was dis-
covered last Friday, and
some of the anthrax may
have become airborne
in two labs the previous
week, the statement says.
The safety lapse oc-
curred when a high level
biosecurity lab was pre-
paring anthrax samples.
The samples were to be
used at lower security
labs researching new
ways to detect the germs
in environmental sam-
ples. The higher security
lab used a procedure that
did not completely inacti-
vate the bacteria.
Workers in three labs
who later came into con-
tact with these potentially
infectious samples were
not wearing adequate pro-
tective gear because they
believed the samples had
been inactivated. Proce-
dures in two of the labs
may have spread anthrax
spores in the air.
Live bacteria were dis-
covered last Friday on ma-
terials gathered for dis-
posal. Labs and halls have
been tested and decon-
taminated and will reopen
when safe to operate,
the CDC statement says.
Because proper proce-
dures were not followed,
the agency said workers
will be disciplined as
necessary.

DETROIT An old
e-mail from a General Mo-
tors employee warning of
a serious safety problem
could help trigger another
government ne against
the automaker.
The Aug. 30, 2005,
e-mail surfaced Wednes-
day during a House sub-
committee hearing on
GMs delayed recall of 2.6
million small cars with
ignition switch problem.
This email outlined a sim-
ilar issue with a larger car.
Employee Laura An-
dres wrote that she was
driving a 2006 Chevrolet
Impala home from work
when she hit a bump and
the engine stalled on busy
Interstate 75 near Detroit.
The car behind her had to
swerve to avoid a crash. A
GM mechanic told her the
cause was likely a faulty
ignition switch.
I think this is a seri-
ous safety problem ... Im
thinking big recall, An-
dres wrote in an e-mail to
11 GM colleagues.
Yet it wasnt until Mon-
day that GM recalled the
Impalas, Buick LaCross-
es and other models with
the same switch, almost
nine years after Andres
e-mail. Safety regulators
received dozens of similar
complaints about the cars
during that time.
GM said that excess
weight on a keychain
could cause the ignition
switch to move out of the
run position if the car
is jarred, like when it hits
a pothole. The engine
stalls, and the drivers
loses power steering and
power brakes.
Under federal law, au-
tomakers must notify the
National Highway Trafc
Safety Administration
within ve business days
of determining a safety
defect exists. A maximum
$35 million ne is possi-
ble if the agency nds an
automaker took too long
to report a problem.
GM paid a $35 million
ne last month for its 11-
year delay in reporting
defective ignition switch-
es in the Chevrolet Cobalt
and other small cars.

D-Conn., and Bob Cork-
er, R-Tenn., would raise
the 18.4 cents-a-gallon
federal gas tax and 24.4
cents-a-gallon diesel tax
each by 12 cents over the
next two years, and then
index the taxes to keep
pace with ination. The
increase would be applied
in two increments of 6
cents each.
The plan also calls for
offsetting the tax increas-
es with other tax cuts.
Senators said that could
be done by permanently
extending six of 50 feder-
al tax breaks that expired
this year, but they indicat-
ed they would be open to
other suggestions for off-
sets.
The plan was immedi-
ately embraced by indus-
try and transportation ad-
vocacy groups seeking a
long-term means to keep
the federal Highway Trust
Fund solvent. However,
it would require a lot of
heavy lifting from Con-
gress in the politically
charged atmosphere of an
election year to pass such
a plan before late August,
when the trust fund is
forecast to go broke.
12-cent gas tax increase proposed
Corker Murphy
Current federal gas tax is 18.4 cents
I think this is a serious safety
problem ... Im thinking big recall

THE
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
OUR VIEW
This weekend, Starkville
will join Columbus in celebrat-
ing Juneteenth, an event which
remains one of the great para-
doxes in American history: It
is a signicant moment in our
history, yet few events of its
magnitude have received less
attention.
Two-and-a-half years after
Lincolns Emancipation Procla-
mation, which freed all slaves
held in Confederate states, and
two months after Lee surren-
dered his army at Appomattox
Courthouse in Virginia to
bring the long bloody Civil
War to an end, the last slaves
were told they were free. On
June 19, 1865, U.S. Gen. Gor-
don Granger rode into Galves-
ton, Texas, and issued General
Order No. 3, freeing all people
held as slaves.
In practical terms, the day
marked the ofcial end of slav-
ery in the United States.
Today, 149 years later, June-
teenth celebrations are held in
cities all across the country,
although only Texas and Okla-
homa have designated June 19
as an ofcial state holiday.
While Juneteenth celebra-
tions recognize the ofcial
end of slavery, we should be
particularly mindful that while
slavery ended, oppression did
not.
In that sense, Juneteenth
celebrations provide context
to later milestones in this
struggle for equality and fair-
ness. Now, almost 100 years
after that rst Juneteenth, we
are acknowledging the 50th
anniversary of some of the
watershed moments in that
struggle.
While the nal act of gov-
ernment-sanctioned slavery
was played out in Texas, Mis-
sissippi takes center stage in
the commemorations of Free-
dom Summer, initially known
as The Mississippi Project,
when hundreds of civil rights
activists, mainly young white
college students from the
North, traveled to our state in
a campaign to register black
voters, who had been denied
that right. The project also set
up dozens of Freedom Schools,
Freedom Houses, and com-
munity centers in small towns
throughout Mississippi to aid
the local black population.
Freedom Summer met
brutal resistance in the state.
Research by historian and au-
thor Doug McAdam indicates
that during the summer of
1964, four civil rights workers
were killed (including the
infamous murders of James
Chaney, Michael Schwerner
and Andrew Goodman near
Philadelphia); at least three
Mississippi blacks were mur-
dered because of their support
for the civil rights movement;
80 Freedom Summer workers
were beaten; 1,062 people
were arrested (out-of-state and
local volunteers); 37 churches
were bombed or burned and
30 black homes or businesses
were bombed or burned.
As we reect on that ugly,
shameful episode in our
history, it should heighten our
senses to the injustices we see
today.
Just as Juneteenth did not
end racial oppression and
Freedom Summer did not
remove the inequities from
our society, some vestiges of
bigotry and inequality persists
today.
When reect on our con-
tinuing journey toward equal-
ity, it is worthwhile to note
these epic moments in our
history. Properly considered,
events such as Juneteenth
strengthen our resolve to
move forward toward a more
just society.
City needs to return to ve-day workweek
The article on the citys public works crew pro-
ductivity study revealing our crews at 45% vs. normal
being 88% was thought provoking. Perhaps private
contractors could do more for less of the taxpayers
money. Or, maybe the crews could do more work if
they worked ve days a week for eight hours a day
rather than the four-day work week for 10 hours a day
they have been doing for the past several years. Its
pretty understandable that after eight hours of hot
work a fellow just wants to ride in an air-conditioned
truck for the last two hours. I believe the city needs
to get back to a ve-day work week for all employees
like every other city. We are not making our best
effort as a city if we are only open for business four
days a week.
Joe Boggess
Columbus
Supports Cochran
As a retiree from municipal government and a
conservative Christian, I have to speak up. I am
deeply concerned about the future of our country, the
great state of Mississippi and especially the Golden
Triangle area.
The reality of the U.S. Senate is that those with
seniority (having years of experience in the Senate)
lead in making important decisions. Do we want to
give that away? What does the Golden Triangle stand
to gain or lose?
Our state must be protected, and Sen. Thad
Cochran is in the best position to do that. Everything
is competitive these days, and Mississippi has more
than its share of being on the bottom. Shouldnt we
take this opportunity to keep a voice that would be
heard on our behalf in Washington?
The uncertainty of our military bases is frighten-
ing. Sen. Cochran has kept our Columbus Air Force
Base off the closure list before. Dont you think he
will continue to ght for our military bases through-
out Mississippi? I hate to think what would happen to
the Golden Triangle if the future of the CAFB were to
disappear.
What about our education institutions? Does it
make sense to refuse federal funds for Mississippi
schools? Look at our institutions of higher learning
in the Golden Triangle alone. Conservative estimates
indicate Mississippi State University stands to lose
700 jobs if we do not have a strong senator to stand up
for us. Plus the training, workforce development and
economic development programs at not only MSU,
but also Mississippi University for Women and East
Mississippi Community College.
I have no connection with any group or association
in this election. I do know of many years of having
the support of a strong Thad Cochran in Washington
who always ghts for us in Mississippi.
I am against dirty politics, and I know what it is to
be attacked for doing what is right for our constitu-
ents. Do not believe much of what is being said about
Sen. Cochran unless you understand the complexity
of Washington. I believe Thad Cochran is an hon-
orable man who ghts for us in Mississippi. Wont
you join me on Tuesday, June 24 as we do our part in
protecting Mississippis future with a vote for Thad
Cochran?

LOCAL VOICES
There have already
been tributes written
to Carole and Im sure
there will be more.
Each of us has our
own stories about this
loving and exuberant
woman.
Carole McReynolds
Davis was a Starkville
xture. Despite
my growing up in
Starkville, I cant say
that I was aware of her
until I moved back to
town in 2004. We were 10 years
different in age, a lifetime for a
young person.
From the time I returned home,
Louisville Street served as a
regular route for me from ofce to
home to shopping and pretty much
anywhere else around town. On
my daily trips, it was impossible to
miss the Grand Ole Lady. That
was my introduction to Carole and
quite an introduction it served to
be. Her family home, the Pearson
Place, sits pretty much in the
middle of the distance between
Greensboro Street and Highway
12 on Louisville Street.
The house spoke volumes
about Carole and she about it. The
design was classic and historic,
but the accessorizing done by
Carole was all personality and
pizzazz. The outside decor always
reected the season Miss Dottie
was always dressed appropriately.
She wore a red suit with white
fur at Christmas; she was always
ready when Valentines Day rolled
around; she had the ever-ready
green for St. Paddys
Day celebrations and
never let it be said that
July-the-4th colors
were not noted well in
advance.
I rst got to know
of Carole when her
husband Frank was
running against Dan
Camp for Mayor. Frank
Davis had been a x-
ture on the Starkville
Board of Aldermen for
several years, and he
was the sitting mayor pro tempore
during his campaign. Needless to
say Caroles absolute devotion to
Frank and his bid for mayor did
not bode well for our relationship,
for a number of years.
As I supported Mayor Camp
through his four-year term of
ofce there would be times when
Carole exercised her constitution-
al right to free speech regarding
matters at city hall. Lets just say
we werent on the same page.
Carole and Frank were both
strong and regular supporters of
the Starkville Community The-
ater. We shared a love of sitting
on the front row to watch the
actors who we had come to respect
and appreciate for their artistic
devotion to the community. Carole
with her array of hat choices was
a regular at all events Starkville.
She supported and appreciated
her hometown in her own creative
style.
And so it went until 2013. When
I was in the turmoil of dismissal
from the job I loved and had held
for eight years, who did I nd in
my corner but Carole McReynolds
Davis. To this day I dont know if
she was drawn to the underdog or
if she was supporting me personal-
ly. I never had the occasion to ask
her and it really doesnt matter.
It gave me some comfort, and I
believe that is what she intended.
She was kind when she might
have harbored a lifelong grudge.
She was vocal about her support
for my work with the city, and I
will always remember her for the
extra effort she took to share her
thoughts with me and others.
My last interaction with Carole
was her personally delivering
invitations to her and Franks
milestone anniversary celebration
at the Starkville Caf. As usual she
was unrestrained in her enthusi-
asm, and I regret not making it
to the event. I would say that she
wouldnt have noticed my absence,
but I believe she noticed every-
thing.
Carole was a wonderful artist
and her writing for the Starkville
Daily News was full of kindness
and superlatives for the recipients
of her attention. She punctuated
her missives and her life with a
gusto impossible to ignore or not
admire. We will not have Caroles
joie de vivre in our midst again,
but she has left us with wonderful,
tangible gifts of her time with us.

meeting, which is traditionally known as Ladies Day, at Ascot, England, on Thursday.
BY STEVE PEOPLES
WASHINGTON Leading Re-
publicans on Thursday insisted that
Americas leaders must do more to
defend Christian values at home and
abroad, blaming President Barack
Obama for attacks on religious free-
dom as they courted social conserva-
tives expected to play a critical role
in the next presidential contest.
Those of us inspired by Ju-
deo-Christian values ... have an ob-
ligation to our country and to our
fellow man to use our positions of
inuence to highlight those values,
Floridas Sen. Marco Rubio said at a
conference hosted by the Faith and
Freedom Coalition, a group led by
long-time Christian political activist
Ralph Reed.
Rubio, the rst of several prospec-
tive Republican presidential candi-
dates scheduled to speak, charged
that Obamas policies completely ig-
nore the importance of families and
values on our society, thinking that
instead those things can be replaced
by laws and government programs.
Organizers said more than 1,000
evangelical leaders are attending the
conference, designed to mobilize
religious conservative voters ahead
of the upcoming midterm elections
and the 2016 presidential contest.
While polls suggest that social
conservatives are losing their ght
against gay marriage, Republican of-
cials across the political spectrum
concede that evangelical Christian
voters continue to play a critical role
in Republican politics.
You can ignore them, but you
do so at our own peril, said Repub-
lican operative Hogan Gidley, who
has worked for former presidential
candidates Rick Santorum and Mike
Huckabee.
In the 2012 general election, exit
polls showed that white evangelical
and born-again Christians made up
26 percent of the electorate. The
group has far more power in lower
turnout Republican primary elec-
tions.
This weeks conference high-
lights the balancing act leading Re-
publicans face as they work to bridge
internal divisions and improve the
Republican Partys image. While
religious conservatives continue to
wield inuence in the GOP, just last
year the Republican National Com-
mittee released an exhaustive report
calling on Republicans to adopt an
inclusive and welcoming tone on
divisive social issues.
Republicans: Obama must defend
Christian values at home, abroad
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WAYNE, Maine
What started as a routine
response for a Maine
tow truck driver ended
with a trip to the hospital
after he was swarmed by
thousands of honeybees.
Jason Small, a driv-
er for Dons No Prefer-
ence Towing, got a call
Wednesday to tow a
truck from the Wayne
fire station parking lot.
He wasnt told the
truck was hauling bees.
As he hooked up
the vehicle, the bees
swarmed. He was stung
on the arm and jumped
in his trucks cab. He
tells the Kennebec Jour-
nal his arm went numb,
he momentarily lost vi-
sion and began to sweat
like crazy.
Small was treated at
the hospital but returned
to work later Wednes-
day.
Fire Chief Bruce Mer-
cier says most of the
bees had been removed
from the truck, but some
were left behind.

Various events are
scheduled throughout
the day at West Side Park,
including an 11 a.m. open-
ing ceremony, numerous
live musical performanc-
es, a fashion show, barbe-
cue contest and communi-
ty line dancing.
Festival coordinator
Stefanie Ashford said
residents and volun-
teers should feel a sense
of pride for organizing
and participating in
Starkvilles rst such cel-
ebration. The event, she
said, will help strengthen
bonds between communi-
ty members.
We denitely feel
like we are pioneers, and
we feel the importance
of supporting each other
here in Starkville, not just
with our school system,
but with our businesses,
churches and community
organizations, she said.
If we all pull together,
we can help improve the
quality of life here in
Starkville for everybody.
Numerous local orga-
nizations and non-prots
will have volunteers ready
to speak with residents
to show them how to get
more involved in their
community.
Im excited about the
festival, and I think it is
going to be an outstand-
ing event, Wiseman said.
I am honored that the
organizers invited me to
participate.

The 18th edition of Co-
lumbus Juneteenth festi-
val begins at 8 tonight at
Sim Scott Park and will
continue all day Saturday
beginning at noon.
Festival spokesperson
Cindy Lawrence said she
expects between 15,000
and 16,000 attendees at
the free event as well as
25 vendors for this years
installment. Musical en-
tertainment tonight in-
cludes DJ Lovebone and
The Flame Band and
Show. Tomorrow, gospel
artist Armondo Adams
will be featured as well as
R&B artists Karen Wolfe,
Carl Sims and the Cross-
road Band.
Were looking for-
ward to Juneteenth being
one of the biggest events
in Lowndes County this
year, Lawrence said. A
lot of people come here
during vacation to see old
friends.
Columbus-Juneteenth,

the dissolution of former
event host the Afro-Amer-
ican Culture Organiza-
tion, received a $15,000
grant from the Colum-
bus-Lowndes Convention

donations from other pri-
vate groups, Lawrence
said.
Dispatch reporter Na-
than Gregory contributed
to this report.
Run
type of care that they offer
down there but its right
there, even though its two-
and-a-half hours away, its
at your back door, Malin-
da Clay said.
John Pearson stayed at
Batson for the duration of
his life. Malinda Clay said
she is asking people to
run because she has seen
rsthand the type of care
the doctors and nurses
provide.
The doctors and the
nurses are some of the
most wonderful people
that Ive come across,
she said. They loved that
baby boy as much as we
did. What money is being
raised here, thats a great
institution and they have
the welfare and the care
of these children as the
utmost important in their
lives.
In a press release issued
by the governors ofce,
Bryant spoke of John Pear-
son.
This is our third run
beneting Blair E Batson
and our rst to benet the
Pediatric Heart Center,
Bryant said in the release.
Mississippians love to
help and now they are get-
ting healthy doing it. Deb-
orah (Bryant) and I are
not only doing this to raise
money to help raise aware-
ness for heart defects and
diseases in children but
also in memory of John
Pearson Clay, a child who
touched many lives. Regis-
tration is still open, and we
encourage families, indi-
viduals and teams to come
join us for a fun, healthy
morning.
Dr. Rick Barr, Suzan
B. Thames Professor and
Chair of Pediatrics at the
University of Mississippi
Medical Center, said Bat-
son Childrens Hospital
helps children like John
Pearson everyday.
The Childrens Heart
Center is such an import-
ant part of our organization
and a real center of excel-
lence for all children with
congenital heart defects,
Barr said in the release.
Our lives are all touched
by children like John Pear-
son Clay and their families
every day.
Pre-race festivities be-
gin at 7 a.m. on Saturday
in front of the Mississippi
Governors Mansion at 300
East Capitol St. in Jackson.
The 5K begins at 8 a.m.
and is followed by a half-
mile Kids Fun Run at 9:30
a.m.
Vaughn
the meeting ofcially be-
gan.
City ofcials would not
comment on Vaughns ar-
rest or what it means to
his service as an elected
ofcial.
Vaughn, 61, of 105 Hen-
derson St., is at the center
of one of two ethics com-
plaints pending against
Starkville after the al-
derman failed to recuse
himself from a February
school board appoint-
ment.
While two aldermen
recused themselves from
the vote because of family
ties to SSD, Vaughn par-
ticipated. He conrmed
to The Dispatch that night
that his daughter works
for the school system.
He voted, Vaughn said,
because she does not live
with him.
The Miss. Ethics
Commission previously
warned Vaughn and for-
mer Ward 5 Alderman Jer-
emiah Dumas to withdraw
from Starkville School
District appointment pro-
ceedings to avoid any ap-
pearance of impropriety.
City ofcials have ac-
knowledged the ethics
complaint and another
that focuses on Ward 2
Alderman Lisa Wynn but
have not commented on
their current statuses.
In January, Vaughn
took exception to months
of public criticism di-
rected at him and fellow
aldermen by lashing out
and describing such state-
ments as a disgrace in
the sight of God.
You elected all seven
of us to serve, but youre
so disgraceful and so un-
faithful (to the city), he
said in January. Its al-
ways something bad that
this board is doing. Its a
shame on you all. Its a dis-
grace in the sight of God.
Medal of Honor
announcement and the
Medal of Honor ceremo-
ny underscored just
how much the U.S. is still
realizing the human cost
of the conicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan, two wars the
president pledged to end.
Under a portrait of George
Washington, Obama re-
ected on the sacrices
young men and women
continue to make in the
name of safeguarding U.S.
citizens and their values.
This United States
Marine faced down that
terrible explosive power,
that unforgiving force,
with his own body, will-
ingly and deliberately, to
protect a fellow Marine,
Obama said.
The physical toll exact-
ed by his act of heroism
offered a sobering remind-
er of what was taken from
Carpenter in the small Af-
ghan village where he was
wounded in 2010. Carpen-
ter required almost 40 sur-
geries and multiple skin
grafts, Obama said, leav-
ing him with a prosthetic
eye, a new jaw and teeth,
and one hell of a smile.
His face still scarred
from his injuries, Carpen-
ter said that as the presi-
dent placed the blue rib-
bon around his neck, he
felt the history and weight
of the nation from the
deadly trenches of World
War I to the sounds of his
fellow Marines calling for
help by radio as they bled
in the elds of Afghani-
stan.
I accept this honor
with a heavy heart, Car-
penter told reporters after
the ceremony. Freedom
is a powerful and beautiful
thing.
Carpenter was barely
21 years old when he was
assigned to guard a patrol
base in a small village in
Helmand province. Thats
where he and Lance Cpl.
Nicholas Eufrazio were as-
signed to provide security
from a rooftop post, their
presence concealed only
by a circle of sandbags
piled three to four high,
the Marine Corps said.
Enemy forces, which
had moved in while hidden
by walls from a compound
across the street, lobbed
three grenades into the
patrol base. One injured
an Afghan National Army
soldier. The second did not
detonate.
The third landed close
to Carpenter and Eufrazio.
Carpenter placed him-
self between the grenade
and Eufrazio to shield him.
The blast deected down,
with Carpenter absorbing
most of the explosion.
Eufrazio received a
head injury from shrap-
nel. But Carpenter was
severely wounded from
head to toe, sustaining a
depressed skull and a col-
lapsed right lung, among a
long list of other injuries.
He was immediately

Comparisons were inevi-

weeks.
Only these had nothing
to do with numbers.

The No. 1
player in
womens golf
studied Pine-
hurst No.
2 on her own a few weeks
ago, formulated an idea how
to play the golf course, and
then watched Martin Kay-
mer follow the script she
had in her head and win by
eight shots.
Just like Kaymer, she
opened Thursday with-
out a bogey on her card, a
3-under 67 for a one-shot
lead over Michelle Wie.
It was cool to see the
plan I had laid out in my
head. He was kind of do-
ing the same thing, Lewis
said. So it was nice com-
ing into the week knowing
that my plan was going to
work on this golf course.
... If youre hitting the ball
well enough, you can de-
nitely run away with it. At
the same time, you have to
know par is a good number
and keep grinding away.
Right behind was Wie,
who studied as hard for
Pinehurst as she ever did
at Stanford. She was at

The Rebels put up the most
runs allowed by TCU (48-18)
in 16 games, and they did it
against a pitching staff that
came in with a nation-leading
2.16 ERA.
Ole Miss won its fourth
elimination game in the NCAA
tournament.
Its just something with
this team, when our backs up
against the wall, we play real-
ly good baseball, Allen said.
Just a tough team, a very con-
dent team. And weve con-
tinued to do it throughout the
whole season.

year, was batting .219 in his

Special to The Dispatch
Drivers have started
to separate themselves
from the rest of the pack
nearing the midway point
of the Mississippi State
Championship Challenge
Series.
Rick Rickman, of New
Hope, is in rst place with
a ve-point lead over Da-
vid Breazeale. Rickmans
brother, Brian, is 55 points
behind in third, while Neil
Bagget and Chase Wash-
ington are fourth and fth,
just 95 and 120 points out
of rst.
While Bagget and
Washington face a tough
climb to challenge Rick
Rickman and Breazeale
for the estimated $10,000
prize, it isnt out of the
realm of possibility.
MSCCS coordinator
Charles Thrash said previ-
ous points chases have gone
down to the nal race.
Weve only had one
year (since the creation
of the series in 2001) that
the points race was just a
runaway, Thrash said.
Weve had it as close as
ve points before.
Thrash said previous
winners of the MSCCS
title, including Breazeale,
typically win 25 percent
of the 15-20 races run an-
nually, though there have
been seasons where a
points champion has won
50 percent of the races and
none of the races.
The key to remaining
in the hunt is consistency
and nishing each race,
said Rickman, who n-
ished third last year and
has nished as high as
second.
Theres really not a
strategy; you just have to
make sure your mainte-
nance program is good,
N
ew Hope High
School baseball
coach Lee Boyd
stood with a couple of
booster club members
outside the baseball stadi-
um at Pearl High.
Boyd and the boosters
were making notes and
taking photos of the bull-
pen area adjacent to the
rst base dugout. While
two pitchers mounds
were present at Pearl,
Boyd said he wanted
three and went into great
detail about how nice the
Pearl bullpens were and
how he would appreciate
something similar.
New Hope had just
defeated Pearl to advance
in the Mississippi High
School Activities Associ-
ation Class 5A playoffs.
Two weeks later, New
Hope dispatched West
Jones to become the rst
team in the programs
rich history to repeat as
baseball state champions.
On another side of
Lowndes County, Colum-
bus High was busy wash-
ing uniforms and putting
away mementos from
one of the best seasons
in program history. After
watching nine seniors
suit up for the nal time,
coach Jeffrey Cook was
thinking about his future.
Cook was
hired earlier
this week as
an assistant
football coach
at South
Pontotoc High.
It turns out
Cook in his
eight seasons
at Columbus
High could
beat a bunch
of opponents but not the
system.
Boyd has won two
state championships
in ve seasons. New
Hope continues to build
bigger and better. Cook
guided the Falcons to a
school-record
four consec-
utive playoff
berths. Howev-
er, players have
been asked to
buy uniforms
and Cook
sweated having
enough gas
money for the
bus for out-of-
town road trips
in 2013.
Columbus won 23
games this past season,
second only to John
Wilsons 26-win squad in
1999. When the season
ended, Cook sounded
like a man beaten down
by the process of trying
to make Columbus base-
ball matter.
I am proud of this
group of guys, said
Cook, after a season-end-
ing 3-1 loss to Tupelo
in the Mississippi High
School Activities Associa-
tion Class 6A North State
playoffs. I told them I
was disappointed but
proud. They did some-
thing that had never been
done before here (two
playoff series wins) and
they did it without the
support of anyone in the
district.
If you look at our
facilities, they overcame
it. They worked hard.
They went the extra mile.
They bought into what
we were doing as sixth-
and seventh-graders. I
watched this group in the
fth grade. I knew they
were going to be really
good.
After watching the
young players, Cook
made what he felt was a
long-term commitment to
Columbus. He leaves the
school as the longest-ten-
ured baseball coach. Like
most young and energet-
ic coaches, Cook believed
things would improve
with time.

SAO PAULO After one game
and one impressive win, the U.S.
defense is holding its own.
Slowing down world player of the
year Cristiano Ronaldo on Sunday
in Manaus gures to be a far stiffer
test for this young group.
For all the times the Americans
heard how inexperienced their
back line would be heading into
the World Cup, theyre riding high
with condence after a 2-1 victory
against Ghana on Monday. The vic-
tory greatly increased their odds of
advancing out of a talented Group
G, which earned the nickname
Group of Death the moment the
draw came out.
These 23 players, I think we all
deserve to be here, really, mideld-
er Alejandro Bedoya said Tuesday.
Weve earned that right to play
here. All these players have shown
throughout training camp in Stan-
ford and all that that they are more
than capable of handling different
things, and we have size, strength,
speed back there as well.
While starter Matt Besler was
removed for the second half of
Mondays victory in Natal as a
precaution because of a tight right
hamstring, John Brooks showed he
is a reliable ll-in and delivered
the game-winner on a header in the
86th minute. Beslers leg is expect-
ed to be ne by Sunday, coach Jur-
gen Klinsmann said.
Left back DaMarcus Beasley be-
came the rst U.S. player to appear
in four World Cups. In a wide-open
game, right back Fabian Johnson
didnt show quite the same ability
to get forward as he did in warm-up
matches. Center back Geoff Camer-
on was a steadying force.
I thought they did extremely
well with the unexpected chang-
es. I think all of the guys did very
well together, midelder Graham
Zusi said. I thought Cam was an
absolute monster back there for us.
He found himself in great spots to
clear some really dangerous balls.
(Besler), when he was in there, was
as solid as ever, and Brooksie came
in and obviously did his part as well,
and got that eventual game-winner.
And the outside guys, Beas and Fa-
bian, were their old selves, getting
up and down the line, as dangerous
as ever.
For many of the Americans, be-
ing a bunch of World Cup rst-tim-
ers hardly seems to matter. Only
six players on Klinsmanns 23-man
roster were on the 2010 U.S. team in
South Africa.
That attitude stems partly from
the fact Klinsmann has downplayed
the youth issue from Day 1, refusing
to let it be an excuse or something to
even give a second thought. Klins-
mann insisted from the moment his
team reported to training camp at
Stanford, California, on May 14 that
he was unconcerned about the back
fours lack of experience.
NOTE: Jozy Altidore will miss
the Americans World Cup game
against Portugal on Sunday be-
cause of his strained left hamstring
and appears likely to sit out next
weeks match against Germany.

WASHINGTON Gavin Floyd
had never heard the name of the
piece of bone he broke inside his
elbow. Manager Fredi Gonzalez
didnt even try to pronounce it.
But no matter how you say
olecranon, it spells
more bad news for
the Atlanta Braves
pitching staff.
Floyd, recently re-
covered from elbow
ligament replace-
ment surgery, frac-
tured the bony tip of
the forearm bone that
sticks out behind the elbow when
he threw a curveball to lead off the
seventh inning of Thursday nights
3-0 victory against the Washington
Nationals.
It was ne until that last pitch,
Floyd said. I felt a pop.
Its the latest setback for an in-
jury-riddled staff that lost starters
Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy
and reliever Cory Gearrin to Tom-
my John surgery during spring
training, upending a major plank
in the Braves plans to repeat as NL
East champions.
Its been a tough one, ever since
spring training, third baseman
Chris Johnson said. But weve got
to keep moving forward. Hopefully
its nothing too bad and we can get
him back soon.
Floyd will return to Atlanta today
to be examined by team doctors.
The injury is so rare that the Braves
couldnt provide even a guess of a
timetable for his return. A similar
injury ended the career of Detroit
Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya in 2010.
In the big picture, I think hes
going to be OK, Gonzalez said.
Floyd exed his pitching arm
awkwardly after the fateful pitch,
which turned into a long foul ball
by Jayson Werth down the left
eld line. After an examination by
the Braves trainer on the mound,
Floyd left the game for reliever An-
thony Varvaro.
It was a weird spot, Floyd said.
It was a little sore before, but not in
the area that I had surgery.
Floyd (2-2) was making his ninth
start since recovering from Tommy
John surgery, but Gonzalez said the
two injuries are not related.
What a shame, Gonzalez said.
The guy comes all the way back
from Tommy John. ... I feel for the
young man.
Floyd had been working on a
two-hit shutout. He threw only 64
pitches, walking one and striking
out six to drop his ERA to 2.65 in
his rst season with Atlanta.
Thats the best Ive seen him
look, Johnson said. For those
rst six innings, he was dealing, he
was nasty, so thats really a tough
break.

BY RALPH D. RUSSO
The leaders of big-time
college sports agree that
transfer rules need to bet-
ter accommodate players.
The days of coaches
having a say in where an
athlete can transfer could
very well be going away,
though its not likely dereg-
ulation will lead to a system
where athletes come and
go as they please.
The trick ... to this is
affording students the pre-
rogative and privileges that
they deserve and to also
be fair to the universities
that invest heavily in time
and resources to recruit
them to that school, Big 12
Commissioner Bob Bowls-
by said Thursday in a tele-
phone interview.
How that change hap-
pens is up for debate.
The wealthiest college
football leagues (Big 12
Conference, Big Ten Con-
ference, Atlantic Coast
Conference, Pacic-12
Conference, Southeast-
ern Conference) are will-
ing to work with all of
Division I to come up with
a solution, but they also
want the power to make
their own transfer rules
if need be as part of an
autonomy structure the
NCAA is moving toward.
That worries the
schools outside those
powerful leagues, con-
cerned theyll be in dan-
ger of losing their best
players to the Big Five.
Most of the areas in
which the Big Five con-
ferences are seeking au-
tonomy are related to how
schools spend money on
athletes. Transfer regu-
lations are seen more as
purely competitive-bal-
ance issues.
I still havent gotten
a good answer as to why
transfer rules have been
included in the autonomy
bucket, said SMU Ath-
letic Director Rick Hart,
whose school plays in the
American Athletic Confer-
ence, one of the other ve
leagues in the top tier of
college football knows as
Football Bowl Subdivision
(FBS). Im hopeful that
will remain something that
is voted upon by the entire
membership.
NCAA transfer rules
vary some from sport to
sport. For football, mens
and womens basketball
and baseball, transferring
players must sit out a year
and lose a year of eligibil-
ity if they want to take a
scholarship with anoth-
er school playing at the
same level. Athletes can
apply for a family hard-
ship waiver to be allowed
to play immediately.

Ole Miss
School will name basketball facility for Tuohys
OXFORD Ole Miss will name its basketball practice facility for
the family that inspired the movie, The Blind Side.

the Tuohy family. Sean Tuohy played basketball for Ole Miss in the early
1980s and was inducted into the Ole Miss Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.
His wife, Leigh Anne Tuohy, received the Legacy Award from the
Ole Miss Womens Council for Philanthropy in 2010.
The Memphis, Tennessee, residents adoption of Michael Oher,
who played football at Ole Miss and in the NFL, was profiled in The
Blind Side book and movie.
College Board documents say the Tuohys are continuously
supportive of Ole Miss athletics and made a significant contribution to
the universitys athletics fundraising campaign.
n In related news, Ole Miss will spend $2.4 million to enlarge a
football practice field to replace one lost to a parking garage.
The College Board approved plans Thursday to use athletic
foundation funds to pay for the project.
Ole Miss, as part of the Manning Center, had one full-length
football field and two 60-yard fields.
The university is now building a parking garage on one of the
60-yard fields.
The plan approved Thursday calls for extended the second 60-
yard field to a full field. The budget for the project includes $137,000 for
design fees, plus money to grade the land, plant grass, install irrigation
and floodlights.

Colleges
Ware cleared to play immediately for Georgia State
Former Louisville guard Kevin Ware has been cleared by the
NCAA to play immediately for Georgia State after transferring to the
school this spring for family reasons.
The school announced Thursday that the NCAA had granted the
waiver.
Ware is best known for the inspiration he provided the Cardinals
after sustaining a severe leg injury during their run to the national title in
2013. He shot 44.7 percent from the field and 40.5 percent from 3-point
range that season as the first guard off the bench.
Ware played nine games last season as a junior before being
sidelined by an injury. He is expected to have two years of eligibility
remaining at Georgia State.
Golf
Steele shoots 62 to take Travelers lead
CROMWELL, Conn. Brendan Steele changed his putter and
ended up equaling the lowest round of his career at the Travelers
Championship.
Steele shot an 8-under 62 on Thursday morning that stood up for a
one-stroke lead in the first round at TPC River Highlands.
The 31-year-old Californian opened with an eagle, holing a 129-
yard wedge shot in the rain. He birdied six of the next 12 holes, and
closed the bogey-free round with five straight pars.
Steele went from a long to a short putter while trying to qualify
for the U.S. Open and though he missed that tournament, he said the
change seems to be paying off. He needed just 26 putts Thursday.
Speed control is a lot better, he said.
Steele finished two shots off the course record set by Patrick
Cantlay in 2011 as an amateur.
On 14, I started to think 59, which is probably why I slowed down a
little bit, Steele said.
Bud Cauley and Ryan Moore shot 63, and Chad Campbell, Joe
Durant, Scott Langley, Eric Axley and Jeff Maggert followed at 64.
Soccer
Morgan helps U.S. women tie France
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. Alex Morgan scored the second of
her two second-half goals in the 85th minute to give the United States a
2-2 tie with France on Thursday night in an exhibition game.
Making her second appearance in six days for the national team
after a seventh-month layoff because of a stress fracture in her left
ankle, Morgan scored for the first time in more than a year.
Morgan scored the tying goal off a rebound, beating goalkeeper
Sara Bouhaddi. I feel like finally I am back and doing what I am
supposed to be doing scoring goals, Morgan said.
The U.S. star has 46 goals in 72 games for the national team.
She returned to play Saturday night in the Americans 1-0 victory over
France in Tampa, Florida.
I wasnt expecting a lot out of (Morgan) when I initially came in, but
through the camps shes done well and in the games shes improved,
U.S. coach Jill Ellis said. I am pleased for her, shes worked very hard
to come back from this.

Rickman said. Dont have
any DNFs, because one or
two will knock you out. You
have to keep your equipment
as good as possible, that way,
you can make sure you nish
the races consistently. You
dont have to win all of them,
but be consistent.
And knock on wood, we
havent run outside the top
ve this year.
The series heads to Whynot
Motorsports Park this week-
end, where Rick edged young-
er brother, Brian, for the win in
the MSCCS opener on March
29. The race featured a clean
1-2-3 nish for Rickman Rac-
ing, as team member Bagget,
who joined the team earlier
this season, took third.
Breazeale enters the
weekend with series wins at
Columbus, Greenville, and
St. Tammany Raceway Park
in Lacombe, La.
With the weekly shows,
we just go more for a test and
tune, Rickman said. But
when we show up at a state
series race, you have to be on
your A game. Any one of the
10 ... out of 24 drivers, those
10 can win the race. You can
never let your guard down.
You get behind the 8-ball
one time qualifying, sets you
back the whole night.
Chase Washington is par-
ticipating in the series for the
rst time, though hes per-
forming like a veteran. He
leads the rookie points stand-
ings and is in fth place. Hes
coming off a solid showing at
Magnolia Speedway, where
he was running in the top
ve of the Lucas Oil Clash
at The Mag before a at tire
knocked him out of the race.
That race gave us a lot of
condence, Washington said.
To run with that class of driv-
ers, especially after having a
rough start to the season, it
makes you feel like your pro-
gram is on top of everything.
Washington is anxious for
the MSCCS return trips to
Columbus Speedway on June
28 and Aug. 23. He feels the
track has prepared him for
tracks throughout the state.
The Bullring ... theres
tons of history, so many excel-
lent drivers whove run there,
Washington said. Another
reason I like it is thats one of
the hardest to get around. If
you can run well there, you can
run well anywhere.

However, a group of
hard working yes sir, no
sir ballplayers will only
get you so far, especially
when competing in the
states highest classi-
cation. In a problem not
isolated to Columbus
baseball, the Falcons
struggled to draw notice-
able attendance gures.
With the exception of
rivalry games in football
and basketball, Columbus
High attendance gures
are atrocious across
the board. There is no
attempt to market the
athletic programs and at-
tempts to build a fan base
in the community zzle
before getting started.
Still, the Falcons made
a pact to one another.
They were in it for the
long haul. They loved
one another and it didnt
really matter who on the
outside cared about the
program. Senior Michael
Sturdivant called Cook
the most underrated
baseball coach in the
state. Sixteen players
have signed college
scholarship offers under
his watch. The players
and coaches bought in to
one another, even when
no one else did.
New Hope plays with
the swagger of a sev-
en-time state champion.
Baseball games are
considered an in thing
to attend. At Columbus,
students would be hard-
pressed to name the date
or next opponent for the
baseball team. Through-
out this years run, the
Trojans talked about the
importance of getting
the crowd back on their
side last year, trying to
prove New Hope baseball
was back after a 10-year
drought without a title.
Columbus continues to
ght hard to get fans to
show up.
It hurts that people
didnt get behind us until
the last three weeks,
Cook said after the nal
game. For six years, we
worked to get an indoor
place. We are still sitting
here without one. This
group deserved it more
than any other group.
They worked hard and
deserved it. This group
persevered and overcame.
In the end, they had noth-
ing but each other.
The Columbus school
board has three times
turned down an extensive
renovation package for
its athletic complexes.
An indoor hitting facility
has been part of that
plan. For some time, it
appeared obvious Cook
would be forced to look at
other options unless the
tide changed.
Board members con-
tinue to show a minimal
level of interest in athlet-
ics. The constant ux in
the superintendents of-
ce and principals ofce
doesnt help, either. Each
school has a large group
of parents who support
athletics and help push
for better situations. The
same could be said for
Columbus.
Andy Tentoni, whose
son, Josh, played at
CHS, spent $7,000 of
his business funds to
replace light bulbs in the
Sammy Fletcher Stadium
scoreboard prior to the
2010 season. Tentoni
also rounded up private
donations to make other
repairs the school board
wasnt willing to support.
Seniors Hunter Mullis
and Chris McCullough
completed their prep
careers this year Yet,
fathers Jim Mullis and
Bobby McCullough
continue to attend school
board meetings and ght
for the indoor facility.
At the end of the day,
they were ghting for
way more than an indoor
facility. They were ght-
ing to keep an outstand-
ing coach and an even
better man in charge of
the Columbus High base-
ball program.
Again, the answer was
no. At Columbus High, it
is almost always no.
That is another reason
why one school hangs
a state championship
banner and contemplates
adding bullpens while
the other gathers appli-
cations and prepares to
pick another young and
energetic coach with
lofty goals and a desire to
ght an uphill battle from
the rst pitch.

NCAAs Emmert: Pay could destroy college sports
BY TIM DAHLBERG
OAKLAND, Calif. NCAA
President Mark Emmert stuck
to his contention that amateur-
ism is the core of college ath-
letics, saying any effort to pay
players would destroy a frame-
work that has been in place for
more than a century and cause
many schools to abandon sports
or refuse to play other schools
that do pay.
Emmert said college ath-
letes wouldnt want to play
against other athletes who were
getting paid.
They want to know every-
one is playing by the same
rules, he said. They want to
know the other teams consist of
student athletes just like them.
Emmert took the witness
stand Thursday in a landmark
antitrust trial against the NCAA
to say college sports would be
fatally awed if players were al-
lowed to receive a portion of the
billions of dollars in basketball
and football television revenues
now owing into big confer-
ences and colleges.
Emmert said one of the big-
gest reasons fans like college
sports is that they believe the ath-
letes are really students who play
for a love of the sport and for their
school and community. He said
fans understand college players
arent as good as professionals,
but that doesnt stop some pro-
grams from being more popular
than professional teams.
To convert college sports into
professional sports would be tan-
tamount to converting it into mi-
nor league sports, Emmert said.
And we know that in the U.S.
minor league sports arent very
successful either for fan support
or for the fan experience.
Emmerts testimony came in a
much-anticipated appearance as
the NCAA tries to convince U.S.
District Judge Claudia Wilken
that its system of so-called am-
ateurism is not anti-competitive
and is the best model for regulat-
ing college sports.
Watching closely from
the plaintiffs table was for-
mer UCLA basketball star Ed
OBannon, who along with 19
other former players is seeking
an injunction that would allow
players to band together and
sell the rights to their names,
images and likenesses (NILs)
in broadcasts and video games.
OBannon testied on the rst
day of the trial last week that he
went to UCLA to play basket-
ball and that he was a student
grudgingly at best.
The lawsuit and other ef-
forts targeting the NCAA have
already had some effect, with
the biggest ve conferences
moving quickly toward giving
athletes more money and bene-
ts. Emmert said he supported
those moves, but said giving
athletes more than the true
cost of attendance would cause
a free-for-all in recruiting and
force many schools to give up
smaller sports.
Many schools, he said, would
simply leave Division I sports
rather than pay their players.
Under friendly questioning
by an NCAA attorney, Emmert
defended the concept of am-
ateurism, which he said has
been a core principle from the
time the NCAA was founded in
1905 to today.
Its one of the most funda-
mental principles of the NCAA
and intercollegiate athletics,
Emmert said. They have al-
ways seen and assumed that
intercollegiate athletics is
about the notion that these are
members of the student body.
Theyre not hired employees
conducting games for enter-
tainment. Theyre not a random
group of folks that just come to-
gether to play sports.
Emmerts appearance drew
an overow crowd to Wilkens
courtroom as the NCAA sought
to rebut earlier contentions
by witnesses for the plaintiffs
that the organizations rules on
amateurism are anti-competi-
tive and that almost everyone
connected with college sports
makes money except athletes.
Emmert acknowledged un-
der sometimes contentious
cross examination that many
people are professionals be-
cause they make money in col-
lege sports, but said that is no
different than other amateur
sports. The NCAA president
who himself makes $1.6 million
a year drew a distinction be-
tween coaches making millions
of dollars a year, and athletes
who receive only tuition and
room and board for their ser-
vices.
The pay to a professional
coach is very different than the
nature of the student-athletes
relationship to the university,
Emmert said. The coach has
been a paid individual as long as
there have been paid coaches
and student-athletes are ama-
teurs. The fact coaches are get-
ting paid more doesnt change
those relationships at all.
OBannon and others are
asking for a ruling that would
give basketball and football
players the right to seek a share
of revenues from their sports
for use of their names, images
and likenesses (NILs) in broad-
casts and videogames. A broad
outline of a plan sketched by
the plaintiffs would give players
equal shares for each year they
play, with the money paid only
after an athlete leaves college.
Ole Miss
double produced a 3-0
lead, he had the tie-break-
ing base hit in the sev-
enth, and he scored an
insurance run after he
singled in the ninth.
Yes, taking the night
off from catching helped.
Allen had been struggling
with a sore right shoulder
the entire postseason.
Austin Knight played a
strong game behind the
plate and set up a run in
the third inning with a
sacrice.
Allen said the DHs
role didnt change his ap-
proach.
You just have to stay
in the game and cheer on
your teammates, he said.
There is a tunnel back
there where I can go and
loosen up and take some
swings as I see my at-bat
coming closer.
Three Ole Miss reliev-
ers held TCU without a hit
after Kevin Crons homer
in the fth. Josh Laxer (3-
2) worked 2 2/3 innings of
relief for the win, and Aar-
on Greenwood went the
last 1 1/3 innings for his
fth save.
Jordan Kipper (8-3),
who relieved starter Tyler
Alexander, took the loss.
Alexander, TCUs rst
10-game winner in four
years, struggled for a sec-
ond-straight start after he
won six in a row. He gave
up consecutive hits to start
the fourth and left with his
team down three runs.
Ole Miss starter Sam
Smith lost his control and
didnt make it out of the
fourth. Laxer came on
with the bases loaded and
issued a two-out walk to
Cody Jones that tied it 3-all.
Derek Odell hit a long y
that J.B. Woodman caught
near the warning track to
end the inning.
Each team added a run
in the fth, with Cron driv-
ing Laxers high fastball 10
rows into the stands in left
eld for the CWS second
home run in 10 games.
It doesnt quite feel the
same now that we didnt get
the win, but, at the time, it
was a big part of the game
to get that run back, Cron
said. But its somewhat bit-
tersweet.
Laxer and freshman
Wyatt Short combined to
retire nine straight after
the home run. TCU threat-
ened in the eighth, putting
runners on rst and second
with one out. But Short
struck out Dylan Fitzger-
ald, and Greenwood came
on and got Keaton Jones to
ground to shortstop, with
Errol Robinson pumping
his st after throwing out
Jones.
We set the table a cou-
ple times, and it just wasnt
meant to be, TCU coach
Jim Schlossnagle said.
Womens Open
watch the nal round, and later picked
up the yardage books from a few friends
in south Florida U.S. Open runner-up
Rickie Fowler and Keegan Bradley
and compared notes.
Wie charted her way to four birdies
on the back nine for a 68.
I did a lot of homework, she said.
Just took the notes from both of the
books. It really helped just because they
played last week in similar conditions.
And theyre obviously great players. I
denitely learned a thing or two.
Her putter helped. Wie rolled in long
birdie putts at Nos. 12 and 14, made a
good par save after going into a bunker
on the 17th and hit her approach to 5 feet
on the nal hole. It was her lowest open-
ing round in a U.S. Womens Open. She
had started with an 80 or higher four of
the last six years.
They were among only ve players
under par when the rst round was halt-
ed by thunderstorms with 30 players
who didnt nish.
Mississippi States Ally McDonald
shot a 78, which was three shots off the
cut that will follow the second round.
The top 60 players and those tied for
that score will proceed to the third and
fourth rounds, while those outside of
that will not move on.
It was a tough day today, but I learned
a lot, McDonald said. Tomorrow I can
play with no fear and hopefully be here
for the weekend.
McDonald was one of only nine play-
ers to register a birdie on hole 8 on the
day, ranked the third-toughest hole of
the day. McDonalds best stretch came
when she strung together consecutive
pars from holes 4-7, followed by her dif-
cult birdie on the 8th hole.
Last week, Kaymer, who started with
a bogey-free 65 on his way to a wire-to-
wire win, was among 15 players who
broke par in the rst round of the mens
Open. The scoring average Thursday
was 75.73, about 2 1/2 shots harder than
it was for the men.
Pinehurst No. 2 played 1,064 yards
shorter than it did for the opening round
of the U.S. Open. That didnt make it any
easier.
Except for Lewis.
It was such an easy day, Lewis
said, referring to her game more than
the golf course. I played really, really
solid, other that I had to make a few par
putts. But other than that, I didnt put
myself in too bad of spots and made a
few birdies.

because they do not fully un-
derstand your proposal. Break
it down into smaller chunks
and repeat yourself often.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Pets can be more loyal than
humans. Its a quality you
admire and strive to uphold,
though sometimes the gossip
is simply too juicy not to share.
Ask your better angels to guide
your tongue.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). What you leave to chance
will be quite telling. Its some-
thing you dont care as much
about as you thought you
would. Figuring this out will be
liberating for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If
you dont ght for your own
happiness, who will? Heres a
hint: No one else can feel what
makes you happy; therefore,
how in the world could they be
inspired to ght for it?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
A good rule of thumb: Forget
what you gave, and remember
what you received. That way
youll never be worried about
whats coming back around
and what you deserve. You
will live in joy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Youll face a creative dilemma.
Should you strive for high
or low taste with this one?
Surprisingly, its the daft and
inelegant idea that will take
off, not the pretentious one.
People will relate to it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You may be aware of
someones secrets, and youll
keep the information private.
Your discretion and lack of
judgment are gifts that will not
be acknowledged outright, but
will be deeply appreciated.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Stuck? Perhaps you
are being too narrow in your
denition of the solution. Do
the opposite of your imag-
ined solution instead. This
will knock a problem out of
deadlock and give you some
wiggle room.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Fresh adventures are
around the corner, but for now,
its the most fun to be around
those who know you well and
think of you often. They make
you feel secure and satised.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). If you respond to your
situation without critical
thought, you will achieve a
level of insight not apparent to
the reasonable people around
you. Youll also be deemed a
lot of fun.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Youre a director. It may
not be in your title or job de-
scription, but its what you do.
You make sure all of the mov-
ing parts are adding up to the
nal picture you envisioned.
D
EAR ABBY:
My 19-year-
old daughter
was married last
year. We gave her
a formal church
wedding. Of the
100 guests invit-
ed, several were
longtime co-work-
ers, who took the
time to purchase
lovely gifts and
travel two hours
to the wedding.
Some also gave
cash gifts.
My daughter
still hasnt sent
out thank-you cards. I see my
co-workers week after week,
and Im humiliated. I have
mentioned it to my daughter
several times, but she says
its too late to send them
now. Abby, we raised her
better than this.
Every time I say
anything about it,
she gives me an
argument.
Please help.
This eats away
at me every day.
Should I take the
reins and send
a short letter of
apology to these
dear co-workers?
TORN UP IN
TEXAS
DEAR TORN
UP: A note of
apology from you
would ease the
embarrassment you feel facing
your co-workers, but it wont
put your daughter in a better
light.
All you can do is remind
her that a woman old enough
to marry should be mature
enough to write thank-you
notes. And no law says her
husband cant pitch in and
help. They are equally respon-
sible, and failure to acknowl-
edge any gift reects poorly on
them both.

BY ROB MAADDI
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.
Deion Branch has two Super
Bowl rings and a Super Bowl
MVP trophy that set him apart
from many people looking for a
new job.
Not when it comes to an NFL
broadcasting gig.
There are plenty of ex-players
with impressive resumes on the
open market.
So, Branch tried to gain an ad-
vantage on some of the competi-
tion by participating in the NFLs
Broadcast Boot Camp this week.
I enjoy this, said Branch, a
wide receiver who spent 12 sea-
sons with the Patriots and Sea-
hawks. This is what I want to
do so Im going to give it my all.
I come in here and I sponge be-
cause I want to learn everything
and take it all in.
The four-day boot camp at
NFL Films headquarters con-
cluded Thursday. Branch was
among 25 current and former
players who participated in the
eighth-annual seminar.
More than one-third of the 168
players whove attended the boot
camp in the rst seven years have
earned broadcasting jobs as a re-
sult of their participation in the
program.
Branch already has some ex-
perience. He hosted weekly radio
shows in New England and Seat-
tle. Hes still learning television.
I nd myself trying to be a lit-
tle louder now as opposed to the
past few years when I was more
mellow, he said. Im sitting up-
right, nding the cameras, doing
the subtle things.
Brady Quinn, a former rst-
round pick from Notre Dame,
seemed like a natural in the
studio. Quinn and veteran quar-
terback Dan Orlovsky debated
which division will be the most
competitive.
CBS host James Brown sur-
prised both players with ques-
tions they didnt prepare for, but
each handled them well.
One of the toughest parts
is trying to fall in line with what
they are looking for but also be-
ing an individual and trying to
separate yourself from everyone
else, Quinn said.
Orlovsky compared broad-
casting to playing quarterback.
You go in with the mind-set
that Ive been playing football for
20 years so I can do it easily, not
that its belittling the profession,
but you just have this expecta-
tion of yourself that you know the
game so well, he said. But then
you realize how much work goes
into it preparation-wise. Its a lot
like playing quarterback. You
have to be a problem-solver more
often than not.
Quinn and Orlovsky are
well-traveled guys whove played
for quite a few teams.
They dont have the star pow-
er of a guy such as Ray Lewis,
who transitioned to a studio job
at ESPN last year right after help-
ing the Ravens win a Super Bowl
in his nal season. But they offer
a different perspective because
theyve been around the block.
It gives me a wider back-
ground to talk about different ex-
periences, different coaches and
different personnel, Quinn said.
The bottom line is this: You
dont have to be a Hall of Fame
player to thrive in the eld. Just
ask Glenn Adamo, the NFLs vice
president of media operations.
Preparation, looking for a
way to have their reports/stories
catch your attention and stand
out and, most importantly, how
credible they are in presenting
their opinion/story, Adamo said
when asked how a player catches
his eye.
Those that have the greatest
command of the Kings English,
as James Brown would say, and
speak clearly and at a conver-
sational pace are able to better
differentiate themselves initially,
regardless of their stature in the
NFL world.

RELIGIOUS BRIEFS
RAMALLAH, West Bank Israeli
soldiers clashed today with Palestin-
ians during West Bank raids, killing
a 15-year-old and seriously wounding
three Palestinians, ofcials said. The
raids were the latest in a large-scale
search for three Israeli teens missing
and feared abducted in the territory.
The violence was also a sign of the
growing escalation in the West Bank as
Israels search for the three Jewish sem-
inary students entered its second week.
The teen killed today was the second
Palestinian shot dead by Israeli troops
this week.
Israel has blamed the Islamic militant
Hamas group for the apparent abduc-
tion, but has offered no proof.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Net-
anyahu has used the search to promote
two other objectives a new crackdown
on Hamas and an attempt to discredit the
Palestinian unity government formed
earlier this month by Western-backed
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
and supported by Hamas.
