The Columbus Police
Department has an inter-
im chief.
In a unanimous vote,
the Columbus City Coun-
cil put Tony Carleton
into the position during a
specially called meeting
Wednesday morning.
Former chief Selvain
McQueen retired earlier
this month after serving
as chief for less than three
years. He earned $70,000
a year in the position.
Assistant Chief Joe
Johnson has been in
charge of the department
since McQueens depar-
ture.
Carleton, an 18-year
law enforcement veteran,
has served
as assis-
tant chief
with CPD
since he
was hired in
November.
Before his
hiring, he
served as chief of police in
Tupelo. He resigned from
that position to come to
Columbus.
He was earning $65,000
as assistant chief. He will
earn $67,500 as interim.
A graduate of the Mis-
sissippi Law Enforcement
Training Academy, Car-
leton has a bachelors de-
gree in public administra-
tion with an emphasis in

Tuesday afternoon, they were ap-

were in good spirits.
Carolyn Nickoles was helping
Smith clean up the yard. Wearing
gloves, they stacked limbs in a pile.

noons severe weather hit particularly
hard in New Hope. 4-County commu-

of those are likely in Lowndes Coun-
ty. Seventy-two people are working
to restore power to those homes. It
is expected for a majority of them to
have power again this evening, Barr
said.

Tornado levels Lowndes Co. church
BY WILLIAM BROWNING
wbrowning@cdispatch.com
A tornado completely
destroyed Springeld M.B.
Church on Monday.
It had stood for nearly
150 years in a eld on the
east side of Highway 45
South, down toward Macon.
A small, old cemetery is be-
hind it. A large limb that had
snapped off of a nearby oak
tree laid through the head-
stones.
Where the church once
was is now only rubble. Ev-
erything seems to have fall-
en toward the north when
the storm came through.
Bricks and paneling are
strewn about.
The only thing left en-
tirely intact by the tornados
winds is a wooden cross
adorned with a purple sash
near where the front en-
trance once stood.
The Rev. Robert Gavin
has served as pastor for about
three years. Its a small con-
gregation.
Gavin learned about the
destruction not long after it
happened around 6 p.m. Mon-
day. A church trustee knows
a Lowndes County deputy,
who happened to pass by and
saw what had happened, and
the word spread.

LOUISVILLE Ruth
Bennett died clutching
the last child left at her
day care center as a tor-
nado wiped the building
off its foundation. A re-
ghter who came upon
the body gently pulled the
toddler from her arms.
It makes you just
take a breath now, said
next-door neighbor Ken-
neth Billingsley, who
witnessed the scene at
what was left of Ruths
Child Care Center in this
logging town of 6,600. It
makes you pay attention
to life.
Bennett, 53, was among
at least 35 people killed
in a two-day outbreak of
twisters and other violent
weather that pulverized
homes from the Midwest
to the Deep South. The
child, whose name was
not released, was alive
when she was pulled from
Bennetts arms and was
taken to a hospital. Her
condition was not known.
As crews in Mississippi
and Alabama turned from
search-and-rescue efforts
to cleanup, forecasters
began to downplay their
initially dire predictions
of a third round of deadly
twisters Tuesday. Mete-
orologists said the storm
system had weakened
substantially by evening,
although some tornado
watches and warnings
were still in effect for iso-
lated areas.
In North Carolina, the
National Weather Service
reported tornado touch-
downs in ve counties
Tuesday, but the twist-
ers caused only moder-
ate structural damage to
homes and toppled some
trees. Two cities in the
state reported extensive
ooding from the storm
system. No injuries were
reported.
One of the hardest-hit
areas in Monday eve-
nings barrage of twisters
was Tupelo, where a gas
station looked as if it had
been stepped on by a gi-
ant.
Francis Gonzalez, who
also owns a convenience
store and Mexican restau-
rant attached to the ser-
vice station, took cover
with her three children
and two employees in
the stores cooler as the
roof over the gas pumps
was reduced to aluminum
shards.
My Lord, how can all
this happen in just one
second? she said in Span-
ish.
On Tuesday, the growl
of chain saws cut through
the otherwise still, hazy
morning in Tupelo. Mas-
sive oak trees, knocked
over like toys, blocked
roads. Neighbors helped
one another cut away
limbs.
This does not even
look like a place that Im
familiar with right now,
said Pam Montgomery,
walking her dog in her
neighborhood. You look
down some of the streets,
and it doesnt even look
like there is a street.
By the governments
preliminary count, 11
tornadoes including
one that killed 15 people
in Arkansas struck
the nations midsection
on Sunday, and at least
25 ravaged the South on
Monday, the National
Weather Service Storm
Prediction Center said.
Among those killed
was 21-year-old University
of Alabama swimmer and
deans list student John
Servati, who was taking
shelter in the basement of
a Tuscaloosa home when
a retaining wall collapsed
on him.
His death and that
of at least two others in
Alabama came the day
after the third anniversa-
ry of an outbreak of more
than 60 tornadoes that
killed more than 250 peo-
ple across the state.
In Kimberly, Ala.,
north of Birmingham, the
rehouse was among the
buildings heavily dam-
aged.
Four reghters suf-
fered little more than
cuts and scrapes, but the
bays over the re trucks
were destroyed, and the
vehicles were covered
with red bricks, concrete
blocks and pieces of the
roof.
The trucks were es-
sentially trapped, so the
town had to rely on near-
by communities for emer-
gency help.
Forecasters downplay 3rd-day dire predictions

JACKSON A former
police chief in Mississip-
pi has been sentenced to
ve years in federal pris-
on for conspiring to de-
mand money and property
from people in exchange
for dropping criminal
charges.
Former Mendenhall Po-
lice Chief Donald Bruce
Barlow pleaded guilty in to
one count in federal court
in January. Barlow, 50,
had been charged with 17
counts, including witness
intimidation.
He also was sentenced
Tuesday to three years
supervised release. Pros-
ecutors say restitution will
be determined at a July 10
hearing.
Prosecu-
tors say Bar-
low some-
times made
people sign
over their
vehicles in
e x c ha nge
for him
dropping charges and also
demanded cash payments,
in one case $4,500.
Prosecutors say Barlow
tried to cover up his deal-
ings when he learned of
the federal investigation.

JACKSON The
Southern Companies says
the expected startup date
of its coal gas-red power
plant in Kemper County is
being pushed back to the
rst half of 2015.
In a regulatory ling
Tuesday with the Securi-
ties and Exchange Com-
mission, the company also
says the plants cost is ex-
pected to rise by $196 mil-
lion to a total of about $5.4
billion.
The Atlanta-based com-
pany says it will take a pre-
tax charge of $380 million
$235 million after taxes
against its income for
the rst quarter of 2014.
A spokesman for South-
ern-afliate Mississippi
Power Company says the
utility will not seek to re-
cover the increased costs
from ratepayers.
Earlier this month the
company blamed poor
weather, unexpected turn-
over of construction em-
ployees and installation
inefciencies for contrib-
uting to extra costs.

Weather
from nearly
all parts of
the country
combined to
brew this weeks killer tor-
nadoes.
To get tornadoes
especially the big deadly
kind everything has to
come together in just the
right way and it hadnt
been doing that lately,
said meteorologist Greg
Carbin at the Storm Pre-
diction Center in Norman,
Okla.
Until the weekend,
there had been relatively
few signicant twisters
this year across the Unit-
ed States just 20 and no
deaths.
But the conditions were
right on Sunday in the cen-
tral U.S.
Dry, cool air swooped
off Californias Sierra
Madre and southern
Rocky mountains. That
sat on top warm, moist air
from the Gulf of Mexico,
creating thunderstorms.
And the jet stream brought
in wind shear, which helps
provide rotation.
Cook that all with day-
time heating and it makes
a tornado outbreak, mete-
orologists say.
What makes this out-
break unusual is that it is
essentially stalled, Carbin
said. The slow-moving jet
stream plunging from the
Northwest is keeping a
large, high-pressure sys-
tem off the East Coast.
And thats preventing the
tornado-prone weather
from moving east and
weakening.
That could mean more
storms in across the South,
maybe into Wednesday.
In the past few decades,
the U.S. has averaged
about 1,250 tornadoes a
year. Last year, which also
had a slow start, ended
with 908 tornadoes that
killed 55 people.
You expect to see one
or two outbreaks like this
each spring and certainly
we were due, said Jeff
Masters, meteorology
director of the private
Weather Underground.

Special to The Dispatch
LAMAR COUNTY, Ala. One
home was damaged and 12 roads
are currently impassable after
heavy rain and strong winds pound-
ed Lamar County Monday and
Tuesday nights.
A tree was uprooted and fell
onto a house, but the owner was
not home, Johnny Bigham, direc-
tor of emergency management for
the county, said. Close to 70 trees
or large branches were blocking
roads as of Monday might, partic-
ularly on County Road 49, north of
Crossville, and along Highway 96,
where most of the heavy rains and
wind occurred, Bigham said. And
though many have been cleared, 12
roads, mostly little-used dirt roads
will take another two or three days
to clear, Bigham said.
We dont have any major thor-
oughfares or bus routes (among
the roads currently impassable),
Bigham added. Right now, we have
six west of Vernon that are closed
and the rest around Millport.
Volunteer re reghters from
across the county were on standby
Tuesday night.

Senate ready to sink effort to boost minimum wage
BY ALAN FRAM
WASHINGTON
Hemmed in by solid Repub-
lican opposition, the Senate
seems ready to hand a fresh
defeat to President Barack
Obama by blocking an elec-
tion-year bill increasing the
federal minimum wage.
Democrats, aware that
the measure faces all but
certain rejection today in
the chamber they control,
plan to use the vote to but-
tress their campaign theme
that the GOP is unwilling
to protect nancially strug-
gling families.
Americans understand
fairness, and they know its
unfair for minimum-wage
workers to put in a full days
work, a full months work, a
full years work, and still live
in poverty, the measures
sponsor, Sen. Tom Harkin,
D-Iowa, said Tuesday.
Harkins bill, an Obama
priority, would gradually
raise the $7.25 hourly min-
imum to $10.10 over 30
months and then provide
automatic annual increas-
es to account for ination.
Democrats argue that if
fully phased in by 2016,
it would push a family of
three above the federal
poverty line a level such
earners have not surpassed
since 1979.
They also say the mini-
mum wages buying power
has fallen. It reached its
peak value in 1968, when
it was $1.60 hourly but was
worth $10.86 in todays dol-
lars.
Republicans say the
Democratic proposal
would be too expensive for
employers and cost jobs.
As ammunition, they cite
a February study by the
nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Ofce that estimat-
ed the increase to $10.10
could cost about 500,000
jobs but also envisioned
higher income for 16.5 mil-
lion low-earning people.
Citing those job loss
gures, Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell,
R-Ky., said Tuesday, When
it comes to so many of their
proposals, Washington
Democrats appear to pri-
oritize the desires of the far
left over the needs of the
middle class.
Democrats needed 60
votes today to begin Sen-
ate debate. To prevail, they
would need support from
at least six Republicans,
which seemed beyond
reach.
I cant give you a num-
ber, but Im condent
Democrats wont suc-
ceed, Sen. John Cornyn,
R-Texas, his partys
vote-counter, said after
GOP senators met Tues-
day.
Sen. Susan Collins of
Maine, one of the few Re-
publicans considered po-
tentially willing to let de-
bate begin, said Tuesday
she expected to oppose
the legislation, saying it
would hurt companies.
Bill would gradually raise the $7.25 hourly minimum
to $10.10 over 30 months and then provide automatic
annual increases to account for ination

DISPATCH
THE
PARTIAL TO HOME
By 10 oclock Tuesday morn-
ing Bobby Ray had almost
nished picking up storm debris
in his yard on Tabernacle Road
when neighbor Ricky Ward
showed up. The two are old
friends, their friendship rooted
in their shared passion for dirt-
track racing.
Ward, a master mechanic,
helps his next-door neighbor,
race promoter Johnny Stokes,
put on races and Ray works pit
crew and serves as head cheer-
leader for his son, Lee, who is a
dirt-track driver.
Naturally, the topic of the
day was Monday nights storm.
Ray and his wife Martha were
among 11 who took refuge in
their above-ground storm shel-
ter behind their house, a space
about the size of a spacious
broom closet.
Four of them were small children, Ray explained.
Ward, for his part, took cover at the home of his neigh-
bor, Stokes. Johnny and Barbara Stokes brick ranch-
style house is built into the side of a hill.
The men said two funnels passed through the area
about 20 minutes apart.
It sounded like thunder that never stopped, Ward
said.
When Ward commented on the sound at the time, his
friend Stokes said, That aint thunder, thats it!
Wards wife Tamie refused to leave their trailer. When
the straight-line winds devastated the county in February
of 2001, Tamie got in a closet with a Bible and the familys
dachshund. There she rode out the storm reading aloud.
The Lords blessed this house, she told Ward when
time came to take cover, and I aint leaving.
I couldnt make her leave, Ward said. So I got Max
(the dachshund) and went to Johnnys.
When I came back to the trailer, she said, I told
you.
When conversation waned, Ward headed up to Rays
shop, where he spends a lot of his spare time tinkering
with cars. Ray, who had been cruising his property in
a Kawasaki Mule picking up storm debris in the com-
pany of his constant companion, Molly, a small, light-
haired dog of indeterminate linage, took a visitor to his
backyard to meet his wife Martha and tour their storm
shelter.
It was all right, Martha said of the experience.
As the storm was threatening, a neighbor with three
children stopped by and asked if they could get in the
Rays shelter, thus the crowd.
The Rays have lived at this bend in the road since
1965. They share their large well-cared-for lot with the
home of their son, his wife Christi and their granddaugh-
ter Rylee. The Rays were lucky, other than limbs in their
yard and one out-of-the-way tree snapped in two, their
compound received little damage. The buckeyes growing
in their backyard still had their red blooms.
The storm upended huge trees many of them old
oaks all along Tabernacle and Lee Stokes roads, how-
ever. A forester told Ray the already waterlogged ground
made the trees more susceptible to blowing over.
By mid-day Tuesday, families men, women and
children could be seen all along those thoroughfares,
cutting trees, dragging limbs and stacking wood. There
will be no rewood shortage in these parts this winter.
People appeared to be in good spirits, buoyed by the
novelty of the situation, the shared sense of purpose and
the simple fact there had been no injury or loss of life.
As I passed a house with its roof caved in at the inter-
section of Lee-Stokes and Lacy roads, four young boys
had just retrieved from a pile of debris four shing rods
and reels that looked to be in perfect condition. The boys,
all grins, waved the rods in the air like swords.

SLIMANTICS
A couple of miles
down Lee-Stokes
Road, where Pleasant
Hill Baptist Church
sits on a hill above
a cluster of modest
brick homes where
Lacy Road runs into
Pleasant Hill Road,
church pastor Bill
Hurt wearily tended
his ock, scattered but
unharmed after a pair
of Monday tornadoes
plowed through East
Columbus.
The ock is safe, the shepherd is tired,
Hurt said Tuesday afternoon, as he slumped
wearily into the seat of an ATV parked in the
debris-riddled yard of the churchs minister of
music. It was 2 in the afternoon, and Hurt had
been helped the folks in the little neighborhood
most of whom are his congregants clean
up.
He was hardly a gang of one, though. Men,
women and children of all ages swarmed
around the handful of houses that had received
the most damage. A crew dispatched by the
Mississippi Baptist Convention Disaster Relief
team, operating from a mobile trailer near the
road in front of the church, passed out equip-
ment. The crew came at Hurts request. Other-
wise, it was neighbor helping neighbor.
The good thing about life in a rural area
such as this is that almost everybody has the
kind of stuff you need in this situations
chainsaws, ATVs, generators.
But not everybody has a massive excavator,
which is what made Jerry Nickoles, who lives
nearby, a most prominent person among the
little swarm of do-gooders.
Nickoles, who owns Jerry Nickoles Dirt Con-
struction, was giving directions on the ground
as one of his employers operated the enormous
machinery. By 1:30 p.m., the excavator was
making quick work of a massive oak that had
fallen in the storm, snapping off a large pine
tree before descending with a sickening crash
onto the southwest corner of Lonny Nickoles
house.
The two Nickoles are distantly related, if
related at all. Disasters seem to make close
relations of even strangers, though, and Lonny
Nickoles watched appreciatively as the excava-
tor pulled the oaks car-sized root-ball from the
earth, dumped it on the pile of debris near the
road, then pushed the rich brown earth over
the cavernous hole and smoothed it over with
the tracks of the excavator.
Man, Lonny said, smiling. When I got
here this morning, I was thinking, how in the
world am I gonna x this? I got my chainsaw,
climbed up on the roof and started cutting the
smaller limbs on the house. Then, people start-
ed showing up.
James Blair... Nickoles said, choking
up and pausing for a couple of seconds as he
fought to keep his composure. James Blair, he
was the rst to come. We are old friends, used
to work together. He was the rst one to show
up. It was just me and him, then....Well, just
look.
A handful of people, some he didnt know,
were busy turning the debris from the big oak
and pine tree into rewood.
Its something, huh? Nickoles said.
Next door, Sybil Prather was trying to hold
down a blue tarp as her husband and other fam-
ily members tried to secure it a portion of the
house missing a roof, some of which dangled
high above them in the limbs of a big oak that
marks the boundary between her house on
Lonny Nickoles house.
The damage was not done by a falling tree,
however.
The wind just came and picked up it,
Prather said. We were all in the bathroom, six
of us, when it hit. After a little while, my son
peeked out and said, mom, the roof is gone.
The storm jerked out the utility box from
the homes exterior. It also swept an old storage
building behind the house onto Nickoles prop-
erty, replacing it with Nickoles trampoline.
Im not sure who got the best of the deal,
Prather said. We were going to replace the
building anyway, my son said, but I said, yeah,
but this isnt what we had in mind.
By 2 oclock, the excavator had left Nickoles
house and moved across the street to the min-
ister of musics house, where another large oak
had smashed the roof on the back half of the
house and punched through a big bay window.
The family, along with Pastor Hurt and sev-
eral other volunteers, had been cutting limbs
and dragging debris to a big pile near the road
for hours. The excavator would do in an hour
what all those folks could not do in a week.
Normally, Jerry Nickoles charges $125 per
hour for this kind of work.
He wasnt making any money Tuesday,
though.
Im a deacon at the church. I go to church
with most of these people and know pretty
much everybody else, Jerry Nickoles said.
This is what you do. Im happy I can help.
The scene in this little corner of east Colum-
bus is both remarkable and typical remark-
able in the sense that a small army of people
simply turned out to help each other, typical
in the sense that this scene played out every-
where along the tornados path.
The tornado hit early in the evening Mon-
day, but neither Lonny Nickoles or Sybil Prath-
er said they got much sleep Monday night. It
may have been a moments terror, but it was
a long, sleepless night of worrying how they
would manage to recover.
You almost feel like giving up, Lonny
Nickoles said.
You feel helpless, Prather admitted.
By Tuesday morning, though, the helpless-
ness have given way to a determination and
there is something empowering about it. Little
by little, tree limb by tree limb, Tuesday was a
day of recovery. Mondays despair was losing
the ght against Tuesdays grim resolve.
The storm was overwhelming, Pastor
Hurt said, watching a couple of little giggling
girls tugging at a tree limb, dragging into the
growing pile of debris. The response is more
overwhelming.

LOUISVILLE As
a last-second pivot posi-
tioned Winston Medical
Center directly in the path
of an EF-4 tornado Mon-
day, long-time emergency
room physician Mike Hen-
ry began running through
his unit and warning pa-
tients to immediately hun-
ker down and take cover.
Henry barely had time
to notify patients of the
storms sudden shift. He
received notice moments
earlier, Henry said, when a
man ran through the ERs
outside doors, screaming,
Its here!
WMC, a small, rural
health care facility in Lou-
isville, suffered extensive
damage Monday after-
noon after the tornado
ran a south-to-north path
through the town, demol-
ishing homes, leveling in-
dustrial areas, destroying
infrastructure and uproot-
ing trees.
Portions of the hospi-
tals walls collapsed, while
the tornado also caused
a gas leak and extensive
roof damage to the facility
and other nearby medical
buildings.
Search and rescue
operations continued in
Louisville through Tues-
day afternoon. Ofcials
reported nine fatalities
from Mondays storm,
while search and rescue
operations for missing
people continued through
the next day.
Henry, who has worked
at the hospital for about 20
years, was nishing a day
shift Monday afternoon
when storm cells strength-
ened and approached Win-
ston County. The emer-
gency and waiting rooms
neared capacity as the
weather bore down on the
facility. Hospital ofcials
moved patients to the hall-
way as a precaution, he
said.
We kept getting re-
ports and updates on the
storm, but we thought we
had a really good idea that
it would miss us. All of a
sudden, this thing turned,
pivoted and came right at
us, Henry said.
The ERs back wall was
blown out when the tor-
nado hit, Henry said, and
winds began whipping
through the facility. With-
in moments, the storm be-
gan pulling a handcuffed
female inmates hospital
gurney through the hall-
way and toward the hole.
Henry and another person
grabbed her and pulled
her out of the vacuum to
safety.
People always say
that tornadoes sound like
trains, and theyre right
It sounds like a train mov-
ing right through you,
he said. It hit and shook
everything with an incred-
ible, powerful force; then,
it was done.
Henry said the damage
was almost catastrophic:
small objects littered the
ER, the roof leaked wa-
ter and steel beams were
twisted with what seemed
to be minimal effort. Out-
side of the facility, power
lines were downed, while
cars in its parking lot were
hurled through the air like
toys to a nearby path of
grass.
Nearby neighborhoods
were leveled, and many
homes were severely dam-
aged by falling trees.
Doctors and nurses
began assessing in-house
patients immediately af-
ter the storm. No injuries
were reported from those
already at the facility.
Injured Louisville and
Winston County residents
then began trickling into
the hospital.
WMC ofcials setup a
makeshift triage unit to
deal with those injuries.
Henry said many arrived
with trauma-based inju-
ries, such as open frac-
tures, collapsed lungs
from rib fractures and
cuts and scrapes. Sever-
al of the severely injured
patients were stabilized
locally and evacuated to
area hospitals.
Jacksons University
of Mississippi Medical
Center immediately dis-
patched a team of emer-
gency physicians and
medical supplies to sup-
port WMC, Henry said.
OCH Regional Medical
Center in Starkville and
Baptist Memorial Hospi-
tal-Golden Triangle also
prepared their facilities
for an inux of patients.
Hospitals from across the
state sent numerous am-
bulances to Louisville to
handle evacuations.
How much help we got
was absolutely incredible,
Henry said.
Henry worked through
his shift and treated pa-
tients through the early
morning hours Tuesday.
Volunteers kept pour-
ing in; everybody really
stepped up to the plate,
he said. I never want to
experience anything like
that again.

Search continues for missing Louisville boy
BY SARAH FOWLER
sfowler@cdispatch.com
LOUISVILLE A bright,
cloudless sky Tuesday morning
provided a stark contrast to the
debris-littered streets of Louis-
ville.
The sounds of chainsaws and
the smell of fresh-cut pine trees
dominated the senses. Neigh-
bors spoke to each other softly
as emergency medical workers
searched for the missing.
Winston County Coroner
Scott Gregory conrmed that
nine people were killed after an
EF-4 tornado ripped from one
end of the county to another
Monday. The tornado wreaked
havoc on everything from
churches to daycare centers.
Volunteers said the names of the
deceased and of the missing in
prayer as rescue efforts contin-
ued Tuesday morning.
Tuesday evening Gregory
said rescue efforts focused on
nding 7-year-old Tyler Tucker.
The bodies of the boys moth-
er, Terri Tucker, and stepfather,
Sean Fowler, were discovered
in the area near the familys de-
stroyed home off of Highway
379.
Before their bodies were dis-
covered, Fowlers best friend,
Jaime Ainsworth, was standing
along the roadside watching.
Ainsworth lives a half-mile from
the Fowler residence. He said he
spoke with his friend less than
ve minutes before the torna-
do hit. Fowler told Ainsworth
he was standing on his porch,
looking at a cemetery across the
street.
He said, I dont see anything
but Im gonna keep eyes on it,
Ainsworth said. And thats the
last I heard of him.
Fowlers wood-frame home
is gone. Only a paved concrete
driveway remains. Rescue work-
ers used the driveway as a rest-
ing place for family photographs
they found.
The couples vehicles laid
against a tree less than 500 feet
from the house. By 8 a.m. Tues-
day, Ainsworth had lost hope
that his friend was alive. Fowl-
ers body was found hours later.
We came over here last night
looking for him and theres noth-
ing here anymore, Ainsworth
said. I think all we found last
night was a dead dog of theirs
and then a live dog of theirs. Vir-
tually nothing else.
While rescue workers
searched for the missing fami-
ly, neighbors a street over were
thanking God for their safety.
Steven and Clara Hampton
have lived on Jefferson Street for
30 years. Clara Hamptons elder-
ly mother lives across the street.
Steven Hampton is a minister.
He said he feels Gods grace is
what kept his family safe.
I know there wasnt nobody
but God who kept us, he said.
Because just me, myself per-
sonally, the human side of me, at
one point I felt like we was gone.
I really did. I just thank God that
He looked beyond our faults and
His grace and mercy kept us.
During the storm, the Hamp-
tons hid under a mattress. Their
home is demolished.
Next door, Ariel Thomas was
walking around in her front yard
in her pajamas Tuesday. Her
house is a pile of twisted beams.
Thomas was at the home with
her parents and her 3-year-old
child. The family gathered in a
closet once they heard the whis-
tle sound, Thomas said.
All four of us smushed in that
closet and held a mattress over
us, she said. Didnt no debris
hit us or nothing. Glass is broken
and we heard things throwing
around but Im so happy weve
got our life. Those are material
things. Im so happy that it didnt
suck us up.
Across from Jefferson Street
is Memorial Park Cemetery.
Tombstones laid toppled over
and pine trees were on their
sides.
What remains of Eiland Ave-
nue is at the foot of the hill.
Linda Love and her husband,
Shirley Lee, were trapped after
their home collapsed around
them. Lee is wheelchair-bound.
Before the tornado hit, Love was
outside tending to her chickens.
She said she rushed inside when
she saw the tornado approach-
ing.
I pushed (Lee) into the hall-
way, just before I could get from
my door to the hallway and that
was it, Love said. It hit my
house, throwed my husband out
his wheelchair and then throwed
me into him and then he was on
top of me. Next thing I remem-
ber they were pulling me out.
Love said Lee is in the hospi-
tal being treated for his injuries.
The couples son, who is also
named Shirley Lee, was stand-
ing several feet from what re-
mained of his parents house. He
and several friends were loading
chickens into a truck. They
stopped to take a break and
began complaining about what
they felt was lack of help from
fellow community members and
emergency services.
People was coming over
here to be nosey instead of help-
ing these people out, he said.
You see people with bones
sticking out, chunks of meat
missing on them, wood sticking
through them and they aint do-
ing nothing to help? Man, weve
been helping these people all
night.
The group said they had each
dug through rubble to nd peo-
ple. Taking a deep drag from his
cigarette, the younger Lee esti-
mated he and his friends pulled
half a dozen people from a de-
molished apartment complex.
The Revival, formerly known
as Eiland Plaza, housed ap-
proximately 20 adults and nu-
merous children, the men said.
Moments earlier, another body
had been discovered among the
buildings rubble.
Those who had been dis-
placed were being directed to
First Baptist Church and First
Methodist Church.
In addition to the demolition
in the south side of Louisville,
the Winston Medical Center on
the north side of town sustained
substantial damage. A daycare
there was demolished. The own-
er, Ruth Bennett, is among the
dead.
Reached this morning, Greg-
ory said the search for Tyler
Tucker continues.
Gregory said once the miss-
ing have been found, Louisville
will heal and rebuild.
Were going to be all right,
he said. Well rise up from this
and were going to be good.

Twelve mobile homes
on Beck Road were de-
stroyed.
The National Weather
Service is assessing the
damage to determine the
severity of the tornado that
touched down near the
intersection of Highways
82 and 45 South, as well as
other possible tornadoes
that went through East
Lowndes County.
Columbus Light and
Water General Manager
Todd Gale said he hopes
to have the majority of
the 300 residences still
without power this morn-
ing back on the grid by
Thursday evening.
Carolyn Nickoles said
she was in the Pleasant
Hill Baptist Church base-
ment when the storm was
overhead. The church had
roof and water damage
from the excess winds.
She wasnt able to get to
her house because fallen
trees and debris blocked
the road.
We had about 20
people and ve dogs just
chillin under the church,
she said.
More cleanup was on-
going at Pleasant Hill and
Lacy roads. Lisa Brewer,
another Pleasant Hill Bap-
tist Church member, was
one of a dozen people in
the yard picking up limbs
and patching up the house
of the churchs minister
of music, Wylie Dilmore.
Brewer said she was in the
laundry room in her house
at the time the storm
reached her area and was
safe. Her yard received
a few fallen limbs, she
said. When she found out
about the damage to many
houses on Lacy Road, she
became one of countless
people in that area pitch-
ing in to get debris on the
side of the road.
Somewhere behind an
old, giant cedar tree that
had fallen victim to the
storm, Jason McCool and
Carl Veazey were running
their chainsaws, splitting
another tree that had
fallen down in front of a
neighbors mobile home
on Lacy Road into smaller
chunks. The mobile home
was spared, just a few visi-
ble dents on its front right
side. They had been out
there since 8 a.m. Tuesday.
McCool declined to
repeat what he said when
he rst saw the damage.
I havent seen it this
bad in eight or nine years,
he said.
Lawrence encouraged
anyone needing assistance
to call the Columbus
Lowndes Emergency
Management Agency at
662-329-5110.

The Columbus Speedway on Hutcherson Road suffered extensive damage, but track manager Joe Ables said he
expects for it to be cleaned up in time for a May 17 race.
BY NATHAN GREGORY
ngregory@cdispatch.com
The races will go on at Columbus
Speedway. Just not this weekend.
Wind damage from Mondays se-
vere weather outbreak turned a ma-
jority of the three-eighths-of-a-mile
race track on Hutcherson Road
into a eld of debris. Bleachers and
raised viewing areas for spectators
suffered extensive damage. But
track manager Joe Ables said he
has the equipment to clean up the
Baddest Bullring of the South in
two days time.
Ables said family and friends
come rst, though, and he will be
helping them get back to normal be-
fore moving the cleanup operation
to the track.
The races that were planned for
this weekend have been canceled,
but Ables said hes condent that
the track will be ready for a weekly
racing series event scheduled for
May 17.
Weve got two power lines down,
and other than that were ready to
go racing, Ables said. Weve just
got several hours of cleanup.
Track promoters refurbished the
facility, which plays host to numer-
ous races each year from March to
September, in 2012.
Ables said his concern when the
track is cleaned up is safety.
Well be making sure all the de-
bris is up to try to protect the driv-
ers tires and make sure theres no
glass or nails laying around for kids
to get on, he said. Ill check all the
rest of the towers out for safety be-
fore we let anybody in.
Columbus Speedway suffers major damage
Track manager says races will resume soon
Carleton
have a permanent chief in
the next 30 days.
The city will do an in-
house search for the new
chief with current CPD per-
sonnel having ve working
days to apply. A committee
made up of Smith, Human
Resources Director Pat
Mitchell, Chief Operations
Ofcer David Armstrong,
and councilmen Joseph
Mickens and Bill Gavin
will vet the applicants.
Smith declined to say
why they choose Carleton
as interim. The decision is
effective immediately.

Church
They said, The
church is at, Gavin said.
On Tuesday just after
lunch he came to see what
was left. His wife, Mary
Gavin, came along. They
hoped to retrieve from
the destruction, if noth-
ing else, Robert Gavins
preaching license, which
he said he got in 1989,
and his ordination license,
which he said he got in
2004.
They parked out front.
They walked around
the south side of the
church looking at the de-
struction.
They took it as well as
they could.
Robert Gavin got to the
back of the church, where
his ofce once stood, and
a picture of Martin Luther
King Jr. that had hung on
a wall was laying there. He
got it. He also picked up a
tiny plaque inscribed with
The Lords Prayer. And an
unframed and dog-eared
picture of he and his wife.
He looked hard at the
churchs rear. He took in
how complete the dam-
age was and said to his
wife, I dont think we got
a chance of getting those
licenses.
Gavin explained how
the church originated in
the hands of freed slaves.
He hopes enough money
can be raised to rebuild.
He has told his congrega-
tion to nd another church
in the meantime. And he
mentioned how the church
only meets on the rst
and third Sunday of each
month.
Then he looked toward
the darkening sky and
said they should not stay
long, as bad weather was
expected again.
Mary Gavin said, We
just didnt know Easter
would be our last service.
Robert Gavin said his
message on that Sunday,
like on every Easter, was
on the Resurrection.

Ever since the beginning of the
season, Laura Trenor believed the
New Hope High School girls golf
team could win a state title.
The rst-year coach did her best
whenever she could to boost the
condence of her players and to
convince them they were ready to
take the next step after nishing
fourth in their past two trips to the
states biggest stage.
But Trenor couldnt help feel
nervous Tuesday when the Lady
Trojans were nally ready to tee off
at the Class II state championships
in Holly Springs after rain forced
Mondays opening round to be post-
poned. Her players made sure they
did their best to make Trenor feel
at ease.
They were focused and ready to
play, Trenor said. Once we started
to play they said, We got this, but I
was more nervous than them. They
didnt show any emotion as far as be-
ing nervous. I think it nally sunk in
that they knew they had a good shot
(at winning the state title).
Buoyed by a round of 86 by ju-
nior Mary Grace Caldwell and a 90
by freshman Belle Keopraseut, the
New Hope girls golf team realized
the dream Trenor said was within
their grasp and won the Class II
state championship at Kirkwood
National Golf Club. New Hope won
the title with a 179, edging New
Albany (179) and George County
(184). Caldwells round tied for sil-
ver medalist honors, and was three
shots better than her best round last
year at the Class II state champion-
ship at Sunkist Country Club in Bi-
loxi. Keopraseuts round was 22 and
23 shots better than the rounds she
red last year. Junior Taylor White
rounded out New Hopes threesome
with a round of 113. The rain Mon-
day forced the 36-hole champion-
ship to be shortened to 18 holes.

OKLAHOMA CITY It took a fraction
of a second for the Memphis Grizzlies to
take control of their rst-round series with
the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With 2.9 seconds remaining in overtime,
Oklahoma Citys Kevin Durant missed a
long 3-point attempt. Teammate Serge Iba-
ka tipped the ball in on the rebound, sending
the crowd into a celebration.
The shot was reviewed, however, and
it was determined that it was released just
after the buzzer, giving Memphis a 100-99
victory Tuesday night and a 3-2 lead in the
series.
I had a good look at it and I thought it
was good when it left my hand, Durant, the
NBAs scoring champion, said. And then
Serges follow shot was just late. It was a
tough nish, but weve got to come back.
It was a record fourth straight overtime
game in the series, and Memphis has won

New Hope girls take Class II state title
BY ADAM MINICHINO
aminichino@cdispatch.com
The Pickens County
High School football team
will have to defend its Class
1A state title without its
head coach.
On Monday, Patrick
Plott started work as the
new football coach and ath-
letic director at Greenville
(Ala.) High. Plott accepted
the job offers April 17 and
was approved by the school
board that day. The timing
was designed to put Plott in
place for the start of spring
football, which he kicked
off Tuesday with more than
100 players.
It was the right t,
Plott said. There are great
people in place and it is a
great place to work.
Plott earned The Dis-
patchs West Alabama
All-Area Coach of the Year
honors for leading Pickens
County to a 38-18 victory
against Maplesville in the
Alabama High School Ath-
letic Association state title
game. The victory capped a
15-0 season, the programs
rst in school history. The
Tornadoes also had four
players earn rst-team All-
State recognition on the Al-
abama Sports Writers As-
sociation Class 1A squad.
Greenville High, a
Class 5A school, is in But-
ler County, and is about
30 minutes south of Mont-
gomery. Plott said his wife
is from Greenville, which
makes the move that much
easier. He said his wife
and son would relocate at
the end of the school year.
Plott, who played foot-
ball at Carrollton High
and went on to play for Bill
Burgess at Jacksonville
State, returned to Pickens
County High in 2011 for his
second stint as a coach at
the school. A certication
issue and the lack of a cer-
tied teaching position at
the school resulted in Plott
leaving the school after one
season leading the football
program. He also coached
the boys basketball team at
Pickens County and served
as athletic director. Plott
also has coached at Bullock
County and Demopolis.
Plott said the jobs at
Greenville High were ap-
pealing because he wanted
to move to a higher level in
the states coaching ranks.
The state of Alabama will
move to seven classica-
tions for 2014.
Last season, Green-
ville went 2-8 and 1-6 in
Class 5A, Region 3. It won
10 games in 2011 and last
won state titles in 1987
and 1994.

Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
TUPELO Hannah Wilson talk-
ed by phone Monday with her best
friend John Servati. The focus
of the conversation was their torna-
do-damaged hometown of Tupelo.
I talked with him yesterday,
checking to make sure
his family was OK in
Tupelo, said Wilson,
from Tallahassee, Fla.,
where she is a swim-
mer for Florida State
University.
Servati, a swimmer
for the University of
Alabama, assured her
his family was ne.
Hours later, however, Servati, 21,
died Monday night as strong storms
and a tornado passed through Tusca-
loosa, Ala. The former Tupelo High
School swimmer was killed when a
retaining wall collapsed on him in the
basement of a home.
He was my best friend, an emo-
tional Wilson said. We used to train
together. I wouldnt be the swimmer
I am today without him. My heart
breaks for his family.
According to news reports and
Twitter accounts, Servati saved the
life of his girlfriend by keeping the
wall from collapsing on her.
Servatis swim coach at Tupelo
High, Lucas Smith, believes his for-
mer pupil was capable of such a heroic
effort.
He was a young man passionate
about his Christian faith. You could
tell from the way he lived, Smith said.
He died serving ... He pushed his
girlfriend out of the way, saving her
life.
Servatis Alabama swim family re-
acted with great sadness.
John Servati was an extraordi-
nary young man of great character
and warmth who had a tremendously
giving spirit, Alabama coach Dennis
Pursley said in a statement.
Crimson Tide team captain Phil-
lip Deaton remembered Servati for a
genuine heart and carefree spirit.
He was my training partner for
three years, and I can tell you that
while he liked to goof around and
have fun, when he stepped up on the
block he was intensely focused . he
was a competitor and an amazing
teammate, Deaton said in a universi-
ty release.
A shoulder injury and subsequent
surgery ended Servatis college swim-
ming career earlier this year. Wilson,
who had lunch with him this spring in
Tuscaloosa, said it was a tough deci-
sion to give up swimming.
No athlete wants to be told he
cant do it anymore, she said. I was
proud of him. He made that decision
to step away and do what was best for
his health.
Servati became the state-record
holder in the 100-yard backstroke and
200 freestyle during his Tupelo High
career. He helped lead the Golden
Wave boys team to four consecutive
state titles and earned 10 individu-
als state titles. Not bad for the once
reluctant 6-year-old who hated swim
practice.
My mom would take me kicking
and screaming, he told the Northeast
Mississippi Daily Journal in a 2010 in-
terview. I hated it, but Im glad I stuck
with it.
Smith, who watched Servati grow
up in the pool, battled with his emo-
tions over the tragic news.
This is hard, the coach said. I
know hes a man, but hes a kid, a kid.

Babe Ruth watch given by Yankees to be auctioned
LAS VEGAS The grandson of Babe Ruth is auctioning off the
watch given to the baseball legend in his last appearance at Yankee
Stadium in 1948, a few months before he died of cancer.
Tom Stevens was given the watch by his grandmother Ruths
wife, Claire when he graduated from college in 1974, and has kept it
in a safe deposit box ever since.
Its difficult to part with because I feel like Im liquidating a legacy
in a way, Stevens said. I almost feel like it belongs in the family. But I
think now would be a good time to put it to use.
The watch was presented to Ruth on June 13, 1948, when he
appeared in pinstripes for the last time as his No. 3 was formally retired
on the 25th anniversary of Yankee Stadium. A clearly ailing Ruth
leaned on a bat loaned to him by Cleveland pitcher Bob Feller, a scene
immortalized in a famous photo showing Ruth from behind.
The watch given to Ruth by the Yankees is a 14-karat Longines
pocket model with an engraving on the back that reads: Babe Ruth
Silver Anniversary Yankee Stadium 1923-1948 The House That
Ruth Built.
Stevens, a civil engineer who is the son of Ruths only surviving
daughter, Julia, said he has always been proud to be Ruths grandson.
Ruth memorabilia normally draws big prices, including a 1920
jersey that sold for more than $4.4 million in 2012. A watch that was
part of a set given Ruth and his teammates for winning the 1923 World
Series went for $717,000 this year.
The watch will be auctioned online by SCP Auctions, with final bids
on May 17. SCP estimated it would go for at least $750,000.

Clemens in NY court for settlement talks
NEW YORK Former baseball pitcher Roger Clemens and his
onetime strength coach came face-to-face on Tuesday in a bid to settle
their long-running legal dispute, but they emerged from a closed-door
meeting without a deal.
A judge had summoned Clemens and Brian McNamee to federal
court in Brooklyn for settlement talks aimed at heading off a trial in the
defamation case. McNamees lawyer emerged saying an agreement
wasnt likely.
I think this is a case where the lines are deeply drawn in the sand,
said attorney Richard Emery. I certainly expect theres going to be a
trial in this case.
It was the first time Clemens and McNamee had been in a private
setting opposite each other at a conference table since at least 2007,
Emery said. His client, he added, has struggled in recent years with
health and financial problems.
Clemens and his attorneys left the courthouse on Tuesday without
speaking to reporters.

ular season, missed the second attempt.
Im not sure what happened, but Ive
got to focus and Ive got to make that
foul shot, Durant said.
The Grizzlies didnt understand what
was going on, either.
We just looked at Joey and we were
like, What is Joey doing? Memphis
guard Mike Conley said.
Mike Miller scored 21 points, Ran-
dolph had 20 points and 10 rebounds
and Conley added 17 points for the Griz-
zlies.
Russell Westbrook had 30 points, 13
assists, and 10 rebounds for the Thun-
der, but he made just 10 of 31 shots from
the eld.
Durant scored 26 points on 10-for-24
shooting. He has struggled throughout
the series, but Thunder coach Scott
Brooks said hes not worried.
Hes going to get his shots and hes
going to make his share, Brooks said.
Hell get himself ready for the next
game.
The Thunder shot just 39 percent.
The Thunder, one of the leagues most
potent offensive teams in the regular
season, have shot below 40 percent in
four of the ve games in the series.
We understand this team very
well, Memphis guard Tony Allen said.
Weve been playing against this team
the last four years with this group. We
understand their plays, we understand
who theyre trying to run their offense
through. We know Kevin Durant is go-
ing to take his shots and Russell West-
brook is going to take his shots. We
have to contest those shots and stick
to our defensive coverages for 48 min-
utes.
Committee wont dictate number of conference games
IRVING, Texas The College Foot-
ball Playoff selection committee does
not want to dictate how many conference
games leagues play.
Playoff executive director Bill Han-
cock and the Football Bowl Subdivision
conference commissioners are meet-
ing this week at the Four Seasons Hotel
Resort of Dallas to work out remaining
details of the four-team playoff that will
replace the Bowl Championship Series
this season.
The rst championship game in the
new postseason format will be played at
AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
The Southeastern Conference recent-
ly announced it will stay with an eight-
game league schedule instead of going to
nine games. The Pacic-12 Conference
and the Big 12 Conference play nine
games, while the Big Ten Conference is
moving to a nine-game conference slate.
The Atlantic Coast Conference plays
eight league games, plus ve of its teams
will play Notre Dame each season.
The (selection) committee will not
be in the business of dictating to confer-
ences their scheduling, Hancock said.
Hancock said the totality of a teams
schedule will be evaluated by the selec-
tion committee for its difculty.
Every game that everybody plays
will be taking into consideration, Han-
cock said. To the committee it wont
matter whether you played an eight- or
nine-game conference schedule. But it
will matter who you played for your 12
or 13 games. And, of course, how you did
against them.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby
said he has been talking to athletic direc-
tors and coaches in his conference about
how best to schedule if the school has
playoff aspirations and knows similar
conversations are going on in the other
leagues.
We dont have to play a murderers
row (out of conference), Bowlsby said.
You dont have to play three top-20
teams. But you also, if you want to be able
to have the tiebreaker between being
fth and being fourth in the playoff selec-
tion, you want to have played a represen-
tative nonconference schedule.
Hancock also said how a conference
determines its champion will not inu-
ence the committee. The Big 12, with 10
teams, is the only one of the ve power
conferences that does not have a cham-
pionship game. NCAA rules state a con-
ference must have 12 teams to hold a
football championship game, but the Big
12 and the Atlantic Coast Conference are
in the process of petitioning the NCAA
to deregulate how conferences decide a
football champion.
Bowlsby said the conference still has
no plans to hold a championship game,
but would like to at least have the option
down the road. The ACC is interested in
eliminating the NCAA-mandated divi-
sional format for conferences that play a
championship game.
Basketball: NBA
BY JESSE WASHINGTON
Donald Sterling is being
exiled for racist views shared
in private.
America cherishes its
freedom of thought and
speech. But Sterlings com-
ments were so nakedly bigot-
ed that demands intensied
for the Los Angeles Clippers
owner to pay a heavy price
for his views, even though
they were taped during a
private conversation with his
girlfriend.
NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver heeded the de-
mands and delivered one of
the harshest penalties in the
history of U.S. sports: a life-
time ban from the league and
a $2.5 million ne. Despite
Sterlings donations to black
causes and the rich contract
he gave the games top black
coach, Silver also promised
to convince owners to force
a sale of the Clippers over
the 80-year-old Sterlings
hateful demands for his
31-year-old girlfriend not to
broadcast her association
with black people.
He has a right to his be-
liefs, to his thoughts. He has
a right to free speech. He
doesnt have a right to be an
owner of an NBA franchise,
said Dr. Harry Edwards, a
scholar of race and sports
who has worked as a consul-
tant for several professional
teams.
We cant remove racism
from American society any
more than we can remove
murder, Edwards said. But
just because we cant remove
it, that doesnt mean we
shouldnt ght it.
Wayne Embry fought rac-
ism for decades, by refusing
to let it defeat him. Drafted
into the NBA in 1958, when
quotas limited the number
of black players, he was the
only African-American on
the Cincinnati Royals, and
later became the NBAs
rst black general manager.
He wrote the book Inside
Game: Race, Power and Pol-
itics in the NBA.
He thinks that Sterlings
punishment is appropriate,
and sends a powerful state-
ment: Such ignorance can-
not and will not be tolerated.
Not just in the NBA,
said Embry, who now works
in the Toronto Raptors front
ofce, but its an important
message to send throughout
society.
Sterlings mentality sets
us back 150 years, Embry
continued. We are not going
back there. So yes, action
needed to be taken. It sends
a clear message that as a
league, and as a society for
a diverse people, we are not
going back there.
Racist views exile Clippers owners Sterling from league
Golf
The title is the rst for the team,
which is only in its third season.
It was incredible, Trenor said. I
knew if we could come into it and have
all three of them play a great round of
golf we had a great shot of doing well
and possibly winning it. I knew there
were a lot of great teams in it, but I
knew they could do it if they came to
play and played as good as they played
(this season), especially in the Oxford
tournament and the Starkville tourna-
ment.
Trenor said the team was supposed
to tee off at 8 a.m. Monday, but it
rained until about 11 a.m. Tournament
ofcials watched weather reports and
saw reports of tornadoes in the area,
so Trenor said the teams were told
to return to their hotels. Fortunate-
ly, Trenor said the Lady Trojans were
nearly able to complete an 18-hole
practice round on the course Sunday
and were able to work on the driving
range and to practice their putting and
chipping Monday. She said the work
both days helped put the players in the
right frame of mind that they could
compete with the best teams in that
classication.
On Tuesday, Trenor said the day
was lled with back-and-forth play in
all three groups. While she followed
Keopraseut, she said she received up-
dates from Caldwells father, Andy, so
she was able to monitor the players
progress. Still, she said she wasnt sure
how the teams would stack up until late
in the round when Andy Caldwell in-
formed her Mary Grace was up by ve
strokes on the second to last hole. She
realized on the nal hole with Cald-
well holding a three-stroke lead in her
group that the team had a shot to take
home the crown.
For Mary Grace to be mentally
tough in that situation was really great,
Trenor said. She knew it was up to her
on that last hole and that she had to do
good for us to win it. ... For it to come
together at the end was amazing.
Caldwell parred the nal hole while
Keopraseut kept pace with the New
Albany and George County players to
ensure New Hope would take home the
winners trophy and medals. Trenor
said Keopraseuts growth from 2013
to this season was a key to the title.
A year ago, Trenor said Keopraseuts
condence lapsed during the two-
round event. On Tuesday, though, she
said she never had to pump the fresh-
man up to get her re-focused.
She had more condence than I
have seen her have, Trenor said. It
is crazy that she was 22 strokes better
than she was last year. With her being
a ninth-grader, she could have easily
broken down, but she kept her compo-
sure the whole day and did great.
After an early start to the day and
a back-and-forth round of golf, Trenor
said it was satisfying to see the Lady
Trojans mature from their fourth-place
nish last year at the Class II state
championship and climb all the way to
the top.
I would remind them to be con-
dent and to stay positive, Trenor said.
I could see it all week last week when
we worked on 100-yard-and-in shots
and chipping and putting. Our biggest
strength in the tournament came from
us working on that the past two weeks.
We worked on that a whole lot more
because we knew it was our weakness
and it gave us condence in those
shots. They had a lot of those shots
that needed to work out well, and that
is what happened and allowed us to get
to the top, our short game.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.
Wicked Strong has a built-in
fan base for the Kentucky
Derby: The city of Boston.
The colt named in honor
of the victims of last years
Boston Marathon bombings
gures to be among the fa-
vorites for Saturdays race. He
has the credentials, having
impressively won the Wood
Memorial at 9-1 odds.
Wicked Strong is owned by
a Boston-based partnership
that has pledged to donate 5
percent of any money won by
the bay colt during the Triple
Crown series to the fund set
up for the bombing victims.
Its a neat thing, trainer
Jimmy Jerkens said. Might
be an extra force that will help
us, if you believe in that kind
of stuff. Does Jerkens?
Sometimes you do, he
replied. Things seem to hap-
pen like that for some unex-
plained reason.
Wicked Strong began rac-
ing with the name Moyne
Spun. Donald Little Jr., who
heads the Centennial Farms
partnership, didnt like that
moniker and decided to re-
name the horse with the mar-
athon bombings in mind.
His rst thought was Bos-
ton Strong, but the name was
taken. So the new name be-
came Wicked Strong giv-
ing it a linguistic Boston twist.
It seems to t the colt,
which got away from his han-
dlers a couple times early in
his career. Thats why Jerkens
keeps a pony waiting to escort
Wicked Strong back to the
barn after a trip to the track.
The colt ranked fourth on
the points leaderboard that
determines the maximum
20-horse eld for the 1 -mile
Derby. The victory in the
Wood his rst in a stakes
race and the 100 points that
went to the winner put him in
the Derby picture.

Alabama
No. 12 baseball team will play
Samford
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Coming off
a Southeastern Conference series loss
at South Carolina, the No. 12 Alabama
baseball team (29-15) will take on Sam-
ford (26-18) at 6 tonight at Joe Lee Griffin
Field on the Samford campus.
The Tide is slated to start freshman
right-hander Geoffrey Bramblett (3-1,
3.77 ERA). Bramblett will make his third
start and 13th appearance of the season.
Samford will also start a freshman, as
right-hander Cody Pugh (3-3, 5.24 ERA)
will make his second start against the
Tide this season. Pugh has made 10 ap-
pearances with seven starts this season.
For the fifth straight week, Alabama
is ranked in all five national polls, but after
a 1-3 week, the Tide dropped slightly
in every national ranking. This week,
the Tide is ranked No. 12 by Baseball
America, No. 14 by Perfect Game USA,
No. 16 by Collegiate Baseball and No.
20 by the NBCWA and in the USA Today
Coaches Poll.
n Womens tennis team No.
2 Seed in NCAA tournament; Will
play host to first, second rounds:
At Tuscaloosa, Ala., the womens
tennis team raised yet another bar in this
historic season, earning the No. 2 seed
in the NCAA Championship, which was
announced Tuesday. Alabama will play
host to Arizona State, Jackson State, and
Princeton in the first and second rounds
May 9-10.
Alabama, hosting for the third-
straight year and third overall, will take on
Jackson State in its first-round matchup
at 4 p.m. Friday, May 9. Arizona State will
play Princeton at 1 p.m. Friday, May 9.
The winners will then meet in the second
round at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 10.
n Softball team jumps to fifth and
sixth in week 12 polls: At Tuscaloosa,
Ala., the softball team secured its fifth
SEC Championship last weekend with
two victories against Georgia, which
helped propel the Crimson Tide to No. 5
in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and
No. 6 in the USA Today/NFCA poll.
Alabama jumped two spots in the
ESPN.com/USA Softball poll, moving
to No. 5 this week from No. 7 last week.
Oregon and UCLA remain in the top two
spots, while Arizona State and Florida
State sit at third and fourth, respectively,
as Michigan and Florida dropped out
of the top five with a pair of losses last
weekend.
Alabama moved up one spot in the
USA Today/NFCA poll No. 6 this week.
Oregon is the unanimous No. 1 pick for
the third-straight week with UCLA in the
No. 2 spot. Florida dropped two spots
to No. 5 after losing the weekend series
over Missouri and Michigan dropped
down to No. 7 after upset losses to
Purdue and Illinois. Arizona State and
Florida State took advantage of the va-
cancy, sliding into the No. 3 and 4 spots,
respectively.
Nine SEC teams are ranked in the
top 25, the most of any conference:
Alabama (5/6), Florida (7/5), Tennessee
(9/8), Kentucky (11/10), Missouri (15/13),
Georgia (18/16), Auburn (20/20), LSU
(23/25), and Texas A&M (25/24). Missis-
sippi State is receiving votes in both polls.
n Mens track and field team
ranked No. 8: At Tuscaloosa, Ala., the
mens track & field team is ranked No. 8
in the latest edition of the U.S. Track &
Field and Cross Country Coaches Asso-
ciation (USTFCCCA) Division I National
Team Computer Rankings released
Tuesday. The Crimson Tide remains third
in the mens rankings for the NCAA South
Region while the women maintained their
No. 5 rank in the regional rankings.
The national team rankings are
compiled by mathematical formula based
on national descending order lists and
data taken from previous seasons. The
purpose and methodology of the rankings
is to create an index that showcases
the teams that have the best potential of
achieving the top spots in the national
team race. Rankings points do not equate
with NCAA Championships team points.
n Womens golf team seeded
third at NCAA Central Regional: At
Tuscaloosa, Ala., the womens golf team
was awarded the No. 3 seed at the NCAA
Central Regional Championship at Okla-
homa States Karsten Creek Golf Club in
Stillwater, Okla., the NCAA announced
Monday evening.
The NCAA Central Regional will be
May 8-10 on the par-72 Karsten Creek
layout that measures 6,200 yards for the
women and has hosted the 2003 and
2011 NCAA Mens Golf Championships.
It is the ninth straight invitation to post-
season competition for the Crimson Tide,
which captured the programs first NCAA
Championship in 2012 at the Legends
Club in Franklin, Tenn.
The top-eight finishers at the NCAA
Central Regional will advance to the
NCAA Championships at Tulsa Country
Club on May 20-23 in Tulsa, Okla., and
join the teams that have advanced from
the NCAA East and West Regionals.
Alabama finished tied for fourth at the
Fall Preview in Tulsa in September, with a
16-over total of 856.
Since Potters arrival at the Capstone
prior to the 2005-06 season, the Crimson
Tide has qualified for the NCAA Region-
als each season and advanced to the
NCAA Championships eight consecutive
years. The 2014 selection is the 16th
NCAA appearance in school history.
For Potter, the regional berth marks
the 21st-consecutive appearance by
a team under his direction. The Hall of
Fame coach has now led a team to a
regional bid in each season since the for-
mat came into existence in 1993. Joining
Alabama in the NCAA Central Regional
is No. 1-seed UCLA, No. 2 Arkansas,
No. 4-seed Arizona, No. 5 LSU and No. 6
seed and host Oklahoma State.
Along with the Crimson Tide,
Razorbacks and LSU Tigers, the 24-team

Last season Alabama won the NCAA
East Regional Championship before
posting a two-shot win over Southern
California at the NCAA Championships.
Marlins
which had its third-highest run output of the season in a
game that took 2 hours, 7 minutes. It was the fastest one
in the majors this season, according to STATS.
Miami second baseman Ed Lucas had three hits in
his season debut after recovering from a broken left
hand, and Marcell Ozuna hit a two-run single for the
Marlins.
Fernandez (4-1) was dominant against the NL East
leaders for the second time in a week, lowering his ERA
to 1.59. He struck out eight and walked two, and hasnt
allowed an earned run in 23 innings over his last three
starts.
The right-handers numbers are eye-popping going
back to early in his rookie season. Fernandez is 14-4
with a 1.52 ERA in 24 starts since June 1, with 190 strike-
outs against 45 walks in 160 innings.
Same as last time hes good every time, Atlantas
Freddie Freeman said.
Braves starter Alex Wood (2-4) allowed seven runs
and 10 hits, leaving after facing four batters without
getting an out in the sixth. Wood and Fernandez had a
memorable duel last week, combining for 25 strikeouts
and no walks in what became a 1-0 Miami win that lasted
2 hours, 8 minutes.
This time, Fernandez who got booed by some in
the crowd after not running out a sharp grounder to
shortstop leading off the third needed only one run
again. Miami just happened to give him eight more for
good measure. The runs came in bunches during the
rematch, with Miami scoring three in the third and ve
more in the sixth to blow it open.
We have to gure out how to beat Fernandez,
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Not everybody
is Cy Young, and you still have to beat Cy Young every
once in a while.
Stanton went the opposite way for a two-run homer to
right in the third inning, and Ozunas single in the sixth
was enough to chase Wood. Fernandez even added a
run-scoring single later in the sixth, and Saltalamacchia
connected off Braves reliever Anthony Varvaro in the
seventh.
The Braves had only three right-handed batters in
the starting lineup against Fernandez, looking for any
way to break through against him.
It was evident early that little was going to work. Fer-
nandez needed 17 pitches to get his rst seven outs, and
ended two innings with a pair of knee-buckling 83 mph
off-speed offerings.
Fernandez was even solid in the eld, keeping the
game scoreless with a nifty play to end the third. He
came hard off the mound to eld Ramiro Penas chopper
that stopped halfway up the third base line, then faked
a throw to rst which baited the Braves Tyler Pastor-
nicky into taking off from third base.
Fernandez simply ipped the ball to Saltalamacchia,
who put the tag on a sliding Pastornicky and kept the
game scoreless. By the time Fernandez returned to the
mound, he had a 3-0 lead and was rolling.
Fernandez said he and Saltalamacchia had a quick
pregame meeting to go over strategy and came up with
the following plan: Whatever Miamis catcher called,
Fernandez would throw.
Redmond said he considered letting Fernandez n-
ish the game, but with a nine-run lead the manager
didnt want to take any risks in the ninth.

hits, he knows the answer is going to
sound like an excuse.
Our kids know whats at stake at
this point in the season, Cohen said
Tuesday in a phone interview. Were
tracking their at-bats in practice and in
games and, for the most part, theyre
not getting rewarded for hitting balls
hard.
Leadoff hitter Seth Heck is Cohens
primary example. Heck, a junior col-
lege transfer from Tacoma, Wash., is
hitting .278 with six doubles in 37 hits.
Those arent the eye-popping numbers
you would expect from someone hitting
at the top of a Southeastern Conference
lineup. However, thats where the short-
stop will be at 6:30 tonight when MSU
(28-17) plays host to Jacksonville State
(23-19) at Dudy Noble Field. Cohen
feels Hecks average should be 30-40
points higher based on the contact he is
making. Heck has reached base safely
in a season-high 12-straight games. He
has scored seven runs, seven RBIs, and
ve walks in that span. Heck has mul-
tiple hits in seven of his last 11 games.
I wish somebody, or anybody for that
matter, could sit in the lm room with
us and watch Seth Heck repeatedly line
out to an outelder on an absolute bul-
let right to the defender, Cohen said.
Maybe then would they know how I feel
about our offense. Ive never felt worse
in a long time than I feel for that young
man. His numbers should be better, and
hes doing everything we ask.
Cohen is talking about Hecks bat-
ting average on balls in play (BABIP), a
sabermetric statistic that tracks the fre-
quency at which a batter reaches base
after putting in play. A signicant dif-
ference in the average means the hitter
is striking out too much, which isnt the
case for Heck , who has 16 strikeouts,
or is unlucky for a long stretch of time.
Based off what hes produced at the
plate, he should be among the league
leaders in doubles and should be scor-
ing more runs because hes opening in-
nings in scoring position, Cohen said.
Hes just not getting rewarded, and
thats got to be frustrating for a player.
Heck is one reason why MSU is
failing to drive in runners on base and
ranks 10th in slugging percentage and
runs scored, 13th in doubles and home
runs, and 12th in total bases.
The extra-base hit is something we
struggle with, especially at our ballpark
where nding the power alleys are just dif-
cult, Cohen said. You look around our
league and I dont know how many schools
are pleased with their offensive numbers,
but I know our ballpark can have a depres-

Frustration isnt an emotion Cohen
sees from his team despite a stretch in
which it has lost three of its past four
SEC weekend series.
I know I say this too often, but Im
being honest when I say (Tuesdays)
practice was the best practice Ive ever
seen at Mississippi State, Cohen said.
You talk about focus throughout and
getting stuff accomplished this late in
the year, both happened and at high lev-
els of competitiveness.
The Bulldogs have won eight-
straight midweek games and are 19-1 in
regular-season midweek games since
the beginning of last season. MSU is
11-0 against Jacksonville State dating
back to 1996.
After Tuesdays practice, most of
Cohens players turned their attention
to serving their community. MSU fth-
year senior Ben Bracewell led a large
contingent of players that set up porta-
ble tents around the Palmeiro Center
for emergency personnel assisting tor-
nado victims in the area.
They all got together and decided
to make a difference, Cohen said. We
get credit as coaches when our kids do
things like this, but the credit goes to
their parents for bringing them to us
like this. Im really proud. Ive said this
before, but its not magic of ours our
players are great people. They have
wonderful parents.

A
s the weather gets
warmer, I cook
lighter. And in The
Husbands taxonomy of
food, crabcakes are rela-
tively light. So I thought
Id employ of couple of
seasonal stars peas
and radishes to put a
spring spin on them.
I blithely went shop-
ping for fresh crabmeat
at my local market, but
found to my horror that
its almost unafford-
ably pricey and that
pasteurized refrigerated
crabmeat isnt much
cheaper. In search of an
ingredient with which
to stretch the crab (I
thought of it as Crab
Helper), I settled on
boiled shrimp, which are
readily available, but not
astronomically expensive.
Happily, the crab and the
shrimp played very nicely
together.
As this also is the
season for fresh peas, I
added some of them to
the crab/shrimp mix.
Their natural sweetness
chimes in well with the
shellsh, and they add a
little crunchy pop to the
texture of the cakes.
Flavor and texture
aside, I used to discount
the nutritional value of
peas, until I nally scruti-
nized the data and discov-
ered that the little fellers
are packed with protein,
ber and micronutrients.
If you nd fresh peas at
the farmers market, by
all means scoop them up.
But keep in mind that the
sugar in fresh peas starts
turning to starch the
minute theyre harvested,
so be sure to bring them

St. Pauls May luncheon generation to generation
Three generations of the same family from left, Bethea Smith, her 16-year-old daughter Kirby Smith, and her mother, Beth Jones decorate cakes and cookies Mon-
day in preparation for the annual St. Pauls Episcopal Church Womens May Luncheon set for Thursday, May 8.
Rite
of spring
BY JAN SWOOPE
jswoope@cdispatch.com
I
f you ask longtime Columbians to list
some local rites of spring, chances are
youll hear mention of the St. Pauls
Episcopal Church May Luncheon. The
event, after all, has its roots in the 1800s.
Except for a brief period during World
War II when supplies were scarce, church
members have faithfully served a chicken
salad (and now barbecue, too) feast for
the community each and every May.
The Episcopal Church Women fund-
raiser takes place this year on Thursday,
May 8, at St. Pauls Parish Hall, located
at 318 College St. in downtown Colum-
bus. The dine-in luncheon is 11:30 a.m.
until 1:30 p.m. Takeout orders may be
picked up from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
An accompanying bake sale is 10:30 a.m.
to 1:30 p.m.
For many congregation members,
the longstanding tradition previously
known as the Eight O May luncheon
is a family ritual.
Beth Jones married in February 1961
and, as a young bride in the congrega-
tion, was quickly recruited by St. Pauls
luncheon organizers into the ranks of
volunteers who cook hens, chop cel-
ery, boil eggs, cook salad dressing, set
tables, plate meals and any number of
other tasks involved in making the day a
success.
In the 53 years since, she has served
in practically every capacity. This year
she will create oral arrangements,
among other things.
Its all part of a legacy, one might say,
handed down from generation to genera-
tion. For Jones, that means the pleasure
of watching her own daughter, Bethea
Smith, and now her granddaughter, Kir-
by Smith, taking part as well.
Coming of age
I guess my earliest memories of
the luncheon are of being at the church
watching my mother working, said Bet-
hea Smith. When she was old enough,
Bethea was assigned to the takeout team,
and the rest is history. Like her mother,
she has since helped in many capacities.
As president today of Quality Products
school supply company, Smith has a
demanding job but will still prepare 15

home, shell them and boil
them right away.
And if your only option
is frozen peas, dont
despair. Those guys
are picked at the height
of their ripeness and
blanched immediately in
water, which sets their
avor and texture.
We bind up the cakes
with eggs, mayonnaise
and panko breadcrumbs,
then season them with
tarragon, which always
teams up nicely with both
shellsh and peas. If
youre not a fan of tarra-
gon, which is unpleasant-
ly reminiscent of licorice
to some folks, substitute
some dill, chives or
parsley. The panko does
double duty, thickening
the interior of the cakes
and adding crunch to
their crust. And as long
as you brown the cakes
in a nonstick or stick-re-
sistant skillet, you wont
have to use much oil.
The cakes are topped
off with a peppery cream
avored by both horse-
radish and red radishes.
Kissing cousins from the
same family Brassica-
ceae the radishes add
a little kick to the other-
wise bland shellsh. The
sour cream is a moist and
tangy complement to the
panko crust. The Hus-
band was very happy with
my springtime rendition
of one of his faves!
SPRING CRAB AND
SHRIMP CAKES WITH
DOUBLE RADISH SAUCE
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Makes 4 servings
1/2 pound peeled and dev-
eined cooked shrimp
1 large egg, plus 1 egg yolk
1 cup cooked English peas or
thawed frozen peas
1/2 cup nely chopped scal-
lions
1 2/3 cups panko bread-
crumbs, divided
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped
fresh tarragon, or to taste
Kosher salt and ground black
pepper
1/2 pound lump crabmeat,
picked over for any shells
2 tablespoons vegetable oil,
divided
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons
light sour cream
1 cup coarsely shredded red
radishes
1 tablespoon bottled horserad-
ish (do not drain)
n Heat the oven to 300 F.
n In a food processor, pulse
the shrimp until very nely
chopped, but not reduced to
a paste. Transfer the chopped
shrimp to a medium bowl and
add the egg and egg yolk,
peas, scallions, 2/3 cup of
the panko, the mayonnaise,
tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon of salt
and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Stir well, then gently fold in the
crabmeat. Divide the mixture
into 8 portions, shaping each
into a patty. Coat the patties
with the remaining panko.
n In a large, nonstick skillet
over medium-high, heat 1
tablespoon of the oil. Reduce
the heat to medium, then add
4 of the patties and cook until
golden, about 4 minutes per
side. Transfer the patties to
a rimmed baking sheet and
place them in the oven to
keep warm. Repeat with the
remaining patties, using the
remaining 1 tablespoon of oil
in the skillet.
n Meanwhile, in a small bowl
whisk together the sour cream,
radishes and horseradish.
Season with salt and pepper.
n To serve, arrange 2 patties
per plate and top with the
radish sauce.

Beth Jones takes a batch of cookies from the oven to contribute to the May Lun-
cheon bake sale.
St. Pauls
cups of cooked and chopped chicken for
the made-from-scratch chicken salad.
Everyone at St. Pauls pitches in for this
annual red letter day.
Even though you work, youre going
to get something to do, said Jones.
They try to include everybody wom-
en, men and teenagers.
One of those teens is 16-year-old
Kirby, who helps make cakes and other
treats for the bake sale. Its a popular
feature of the luncheon, a source of
sweets and savories that tend to disap-
pear quickly. Kirby, a junior at Heritage
Academy, also bakes cookies for the
Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen.
She knows shes following in the
footsteps, said Smith. Its fun that the
three of us get to share the experience
exciting that my mother, my daugh-
ter and I are helping with it.
The luncheon is much more than a
delicious occasion and fellowship. It
allows the Episcopal Church Women
to help Loaves and Fishes, Habitat for
Humanity and HEARTS After School
Tutoring in the community. In the
diocese, it helps support State ECW,
Honduras Medical Mission, Congrega-
tions for Children and Prison Ministry,
as well as the world Episcopal Relief
and Development mission.
Remember when
Karen Frye is St. Pauls current
ECW president and has her own lun-
cheon memories.
I learned early on that apparently I
never learned the proper way to clean
and chop celery, Frye began. After a
luncheon one year, we were all sitting
down to eat and someone asked how
long does it take to cut seven bunches
of celery. Beth Jones and I answered at
the same time. My answer was two to
three hours; Beths was seven hours.
Needless to say, I was not doing some-
thing right!
Last year, the kitchen crew inexpli-
cably ran low on deviled eggs. Frye
remembers the ensuing panic. The pre-
liminary egg math had been done, and
no one could fathom how the supply of
prepared eggs dwindled so fast.
Within ve minutes of the lun-
cheon starting, the worry sets in that
we will not have enough food anyway,
said Frye. As the event was winding
down, someone went looking in the
refrigerator for something and, lo and
behold, there were six pizza boxes full
of deviled eggs. If Jesus can feed 5,000
with ve loaves of bread and two sh,
he can make deviled eggs appear, too,
Frye said.
With so many church families, so
many volunteers, taking part in the
traditional luncheon for well more than
a century, there are enough stories
to ll more than a few books. They
will continue to accumulate, because
thanks to those who make it a rite of
spring to attend the gracious dine-in
luncheon or support it by calling in
takeout orders the event sees no end
in sight.

FAMILY CIRCUS
D
EAR ABBY:
My boy-
friend and I
have been dating
for two years. We
live together, and
his child from an-
other woman lives
with us. I love
my boyfriend and
his child, but one
thing prevents me
from imagining
us being married:
He has his childs
mothers name
tattooed on his
body.
The tattoo
bothers me for many reasons,
and Id like him to have it cov-
ered up if we ever do marry. He
says he doesnt want to get rid
of it. When the topic comes up,
we argue.
Am I unreasonable for
wanting him to get rid of the
tattoo? If that woman really is
in his past, why does he need a
constant reminder of her on his
body? IN A STINK OVER INK
DEAR IN A STINK: Youre
asking the wrong person. Only
your boyfriend can answer that.
He may not want to go to the
expense, or to ex-
perience the pain
of having more
artwork done. Or
he may not like
the idea that you
are telling him
what to do.
However, if he
has been living
with you for two
years, I doubt its
because hes still
carrying a torch
for someone
else. If you love
him and the two
of you want to
get married, my
advice is to accept him warts,
artwork and all, because re-
gardless of any romance in his
past, YOU have habeas corpus.
(Thats Latin for you have the
body.)
DEAR ABBY: I consider
myself a social person and
enjoy talking to friends on the
phone. My problem is, when
I talk to one of them, she will
never let me get off the phone.
Sometimes well talk for sever-
al hours, but eventually I have
other obligations and have to
go. When I tell her that, she
often ignores me and keeps
right on talking.
I dont want to be rude, but
sometimes I have to say good-
bye four and ve times before
she nally acknowledges that
I must end the call. It irritates
me. I like talking to her, but I
cant go on and on forever. How
can I make her let me off the
phone without hanging up on
her or upsetting her? MR.
NICE GUY
DEAR MR. NICE GUY: The
person youre describing obvi-
ously has less going on in her
life than you do. She may also
be a compulsive talker.
The next time you talk to
her, make the conversation
face-to-face and tell her that
as much as you like her, you
dont have the amount of time
to spend on the phone that
she does. Explain that when
you tell her you must end the
conversation, if she doesnt
stop talking within ve minutes,
you will have to hang up. And
then do it.
Will she like it? No. But the
alternative is that she will con-
tinue to take advantage of you
which she has been doing
because you have allowed it.
Horoscopes
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April
30). You feel free to experi-
ment this year and will have fun
trying on different behaviors
and styles of communicating.
Youll acquire a cherished
possession in May, which will
play into a new social direction.
June brings family additions.
Business dominates in July
and August, and youll come up
with a winning strategy. Libra
and Leo people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 14,
26 and 15.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Consider that the same walls
you erect to keep yourself safe
will keep you isolated. Dont
let your defenses separate you
from those to whom you most
need to be close.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
The attitude for tearing down
is very different from the frame
of mind needed to repair and
restore. It may be challenging
to shift gears, but thats what
needs to happen to handle the
challenges of the day.
GEMINI (May 21-June
21). You have wanted certain
things from a relationship that
didnt and wont happen. These
expectations or demands were
simply ill placed. You can still
get what you need elsewhere.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). New faces will breathe
excitement into your scene.
Youre not worried that a new
star will come in and steal the
show, though others wont be
as welcoming as you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
When warnings are issued, you
do not stand back and ponder
whether the threat is idle. You
go on the alert, acting to se-
cure your position. Your quick
response will bring good luck.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Paths converge. From your
point of view, its your road.
From the other persons point
of view, its his. Letting each
other pass peaceably will be
better than putting up a ght.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Reliability isnt a ashy virtue,
and yet there will be an attrac-
tive aura of goodness around
the reliable person in your life
today. (You strive to ll this
role, and its entirely possible
that you are the most reliable
person you know.)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Everyone you deal with
is unique, and yet some will
stand out as more unique than
others. The right combination
of words will help you build rap-
port with this odd character.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Mistakes can build
bonds. Consider that a smooth
operator may make mistakes
on purpose in order to give the
other person a more authori-
tative (and involved) stance in
the interaction.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Conict is necessary.
Tension can be the best thing
that happens to a relationship,
producing a far better result
than the lackluster product of
constant agreement.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Games can be fun, but
theres a point at which playing
roles and executing moves
gets exhausting. Anyway, today
theres no time to waste in
wondering who a person wants
you to be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). That posturing person will
stop bothering you once you
appease his or her overblown
need for attention. Youd like
to withhold your attention, but
thats silly. Giving will take up
so little of your time.

M
any cream-based
chowders suffer
from the same
problem its hard to taste
anything but the cream.
Admittedly, all that fat
is mighty delicious. But if
youre going to go to the
trouble of making a chow-
der, wouldnt it be nice to
taste some of the other
ingredients? So we set about
making a simple clam
chowder that draws on fresh
herbs to marry the various
avors.
Fresh tarragon and the
lightly herbaceous avor
of fresh fennel were the
right choice. Both play so
well with the avors of the
cream, potatoes and clams.
The result is that this dish
has no one avor star, and
thats as it should be. The
ingredients are perfectly
harmonious together.
TARRAGON-FENNEL CLAM
CHOWDER
Start to nish: 45 minutes
Makes 8 servings
6 strips thick-cut bacon, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large or 2 small fennel bulbs,
bulb only, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose our
2 medium yellow potatoes,
peeled and diced
8-ounce bottle clam juice
12 ounces canned or frozen
clams, chopped
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup heavy cream
n Kosher salt and ground black
pepper
n 3 tablespoons chopped fresh
tarragon
n In a large heavy-bottomed
saucepan over medium-high heat,
cook the bacon until crisp and
it has rendered all its fat. Use
a slotted spoon to transfer the
bacon to a plate and set aside.
n Return the saucepan of bacon
fat to medium-high heat and add
the onion, garlic and fennel. Cook
for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the on-
ion is very tender. Stir in the our,
coating the vegetables all over.
Add the potatoes, clam juice,
clams, half-and-half and cream,
then bring to a bare simmer.
n Cover and cook for 15 minutes,
or until the potatoes are tender.
Season with salt and pepper,
then stir in the tarragon. Serve
topped with the crispy bacon.

The movants have requested
that the following permanent in-
junction be issued by the District
Court: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1367 & 1651, 105(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankrupt-
cy Rules 7001 and 7065, (i) any
Debtor(s), (ii) any creditor of any
Debtor who filed or could have
filed a claim in the Chapter 11
Cases, (iii) any other Person
whose claim (A) in any way aris-
es from or is related to the Ad-
versary Proceeding, (B) is a
Trust Derivative Claim, or (C) is
duplicative of a Trust Derivative
Claim, and (iv) any Person acting
or purporting to act as an attor-
ney for any of the preceding is
hereby permanently enjoined
from asserting against any
Anadarko Released Party (I) any
Trust Derivative Claims or (II)
any claims that are duplicative
of Trust Derivative Claims,
whether or not held or controlled
by the Litigation Trust, or
whether or not the Litigation
Trust could have asserted such
claims against any Anadarko Re-
leased Party. The injunction
herein shall not apply to or bar
the following: (i) any criminal lia-
bility; (ii) any liability arising un-
der Title 26 of the United States
Code (Internal Revenue Code) or
state tax laws; (iii) any liability
arising under federal or state se-
curities laws; (iv) any action to
enforce a covenant not to sue,
release, or agreement not to
seek reimbursement contained
in the Settlement Agreement; (v)
any liability that an Anadarko Re-
leased Party might have that
does not arise from or through a
liability of a Debtor; (vi) any lia-
bility of an Anadarko Released
Party due to its status or acts or
omissions since November 28,
2005 as a/an (A) owner, (B) op-
erator, (C) discharger, (D)
lessee, (E) permittee, (F) li-
censee, (G) person in charge,
(H) holder of a right of use and
easement, (I) arranger for dis-
posal or treatment, (J) trans-
porter, or (K) person who gener-
ates, handles, transports,
treats, stores or disposes of sol-
id or hazardous waste; (vii) any
liability relating to the E&P Busi-
ness or the stored power or bat-
tery business (including, but not
limited to, as owned or operated
by U.S. Avestor LLC and Kerr-
McGee Stored Power Company
LLC ); and (viii) any liability that
any Anadarko Released Party re-
tained, received or assumed pur-
suant to the Assignment Agree-
ment or Assignment, Assump-
tion, and Indemnity Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, to
the extent that a liability of an
Anadarko Released Party exclud-
ed from the injunction herein by
the preceding sentence would
be a liability for which such
Anadarko Released Party would
be jointly and severally liable
with others, including but not
limited to one or more Debtors
or Reorganized Debtors, under
applicable law, nothing in this in-
junction is intended to alter any
such applicable principles of
joint and several liability where
otherwise provided by law. The

MENT AGREEMENT IS MAY 15,
2014, AT 4:00 P.M. EASTERN
A HEARING ON THE MOTION
(AND ANY OBJECTIONS TIMELY

FOR MAY 28, 2014 AT 11:00
A.M. EASTERN AT THE U.S.
BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK (SEE ADDRESS BELOW)
Brief Recitation of Facts: On Jan-
uary 12, 2009, Tronox Incorpo-
rated and certain of its affiliates
(collectively, the Debtors) com-
menced chapter 11 cases (the
Chapter 11 Cases) in the
Bankruptcy Court. On November
30, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court
confirmed the Debtors' Plan. On
February 14, 2011, the Plan be-
came effective. In the Chapter
11 Cases, the United States,
other governmental entities, and
other Persons filed Proofs of
Claim against the Debtors on ac-
count of, among other things, al-
leged environmental claims, obli-
gations, and/or liabilities at cer-
tain of the Covered Sites. Vari-
ous tort claimants filed Proofs of
Claim against the Debtors on ac-
count of alleged tort liabilities,
including for personal injury and
property damage. Those claims
were or will be resolved pursuant
to the Plan, related tort and envi-
ronmental agreements, the Liti-
gation Trust Agreement (LTA),
and other prior proceedings of
the Bankruptcy Court.
There are two complaints
against Anadarko currently being
jointly litigated in Tronox Inc., et
al. v. Kerr-McGee Corporation, et
al. (In re Tronox Inc.), Adv. Proc.
No. 09-01198 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.):
1. the Second Amended Adver-
sary Complaint [which is filed at
Case No. 09-01198 (ALG), Dkt.
No. 233]; and
2. the Complaint-in-Intervention
filed by the United States [which
is filed at Case No. 09-01198
(ALG), Dkt. No. 5-2]. The Plan,
LTA, and Environmental Settle-
ment Agreement assigned, as
provided in the Confirmation Or-
der and the LTA, all of the
Debtors' respective rights and
interests in the Adversary Pro-
ceeding (excluding the Com-
plaint-in-Intervention), which in-
cludes any claims or causes of
action of the Debtors related to
the Adversary Proceeding,
whether or not asserted in the
Adversary Proceeding, to the Liti-
gation Trust for the benefit of
the entities listed in Section 1(d)
of the LTA, which include the
Tort Claims Trust, the Cimarron
Environmental Response Trust,
the Multistate Environmental Re-
sponse Trust, the Nevada Envi-
ronmental Response Trust, the
Savannah Environmental Re-
sponse Trust (collectively, along
with the West Chicago Environ-
mental Response Trust, the En-
vironmental and Tort Trusts),
and certain governmental enti-
ties that had asserted Bankrupt-
cy Environmental Claims against
the Debtors (collectively, Litiga-
tion Trust Beneficiaries).
Pursuant to the Plan, LTA, Envi-
ronmental Settlement Agree-
ment, and Environmental and
Tort Trust Agreements (other
than the West Chicago Environ-
mental Response Trust Agree-
ment), the Litigation Trust Bene-
ficiaries and beneficiaries of the
Environmental and Tort Trusts
(together with the Litigation
Trust Beneficiaries, the Benefi-
ciaries) are entitled to have
paid, on account of their
Bankruptcy Environmental
Claims and Bankruptcy Tort
Claims, specified allocations of
a share of the net proceeds of
any recovery from the Adversary
Proceeding.
On December 12, 2013, the
Bankruptcy Court issued its
Memorandum Opinion, After Tri-
al, finding the Anadarko Trial De-
fendants liable under the Sec-
ond Amended Adversary Com-
plaint for actual and constructive
fraudulent conveyances, but not
liable for breach of fiduciary du-
ty. The Decision is not a final
judgment and the Bankruptcy
Court did not enter final judg-
ment.
On April 3, 2014, the Parties en-
tered into the Settlement Agree-
ment that resolves the Adver-
sary Proceeding and provides for
releases, covenants not to sue,
and the issuance of an injunc-
tion by a U.S. District Court en-
joining certain persons from as-
serting Trust Derivative Claims
and any claims that are duplica-
tive of such Trust Derivative
Claims (as defined in the Settle-
ment Agreement).
On April 3, 2014, the United
States lodged the Settlement
Agreement with the Bankruptcy
Court. On approximately April
14, 2014 the United States will
publish a notice for public com-
ment thereon in the Federal Reg-
ister. On April 9, 2014, the Liti-
gation Trust and Anadarko filed
a motion (the 9019 Recom-
mendation Motion) with the
Bankruptcy Court, seeking the
Report and Recommendation.
The Settlement Agreement set-
tles, compromises, resolves and
closes the Adversary Proceeding
and settles, compromises, re-
solves, and extinguishes the
Trust Derivative Claims, any
claims that were asserted or
that could have been asserted in
the Second Amended Adversary
Complaint, and the claims as-
serted in the Complaint-in-Inter-
vention and the claims that
could have been asserted in the
Complaint-in-Intervention relating
to the subject matter of the Ad-
versary Proceeding, together and
on a global basis to the extent
provided in the Settlement
Agreement. Pursuant to the Set-
tlement Agreement, within two
Business Days after the Effec-
tive Date, Anadarko shall cause
to be paid to the Litigation Trust
$5.15 billion plus Interest. The
Litigation Trust shall cause the
