Mementos, trash from Louisville
fall in Caledonia after tornado
BY WILLIAM BROWNING
wbrowning@cdispatch.com
Ripped and weathered scraps of
paper and photographs from Louis-
ville tiny reminders of the hurt and
destruction a tornado caused there
fell from the sky into Caledonia yards
Monday.
Charles Culpepper was in his Dale
Road yard, watching the approaching
storm Monday evening, when he no-
ticed debris swirling in the air. There
were leaves, but not from trees near
his property, and then a small piece
of paper landed.
It was an advertising insert, the
kind found in newspapers, for a
Winston County business. Culpepper
scratched his head for a moment.
Then, he said, he realized thats
from the tornado out of Louisville.
Caledonia, a Lowndes County
town of about 1,000 people, sits north-
east of Louisville. The towns are
about 70 miles apart as debris ies.

Damage survey teams from
the National Weather Service
in Jackson conrmed four tor-
nadoes hit Lowndes County
during Mondays severe weath-
er outbreak.
Meanwhile, the county was
one of seven in the state de-
clared federal disaster areas
by President Barack Obama,
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant
conrmed Wednesday night.
NWS announced that on-
site studies concluded two EF-2
tornadoes, one in southern
Lowndes County and another
near New Hope. Two EF-1 tor-
nadoes, one south of Steens
and another in Crawford, were
also conrmed by NWS.
An EF-2 consists of
three-second gust wind speeds
of 111-135 miles per hour, while
an EF-1 has speeds of 86-110
miles per hour.
The declaration makes
Lowndes County eligible for
federal aid. The Federal Emer-
gency Management Agencys
Public Assistance Program
assists state and local gov-
ernments by reimbursing up
to 75 percent of eligible costs
incurred from removing and
disposing of storm debris from
public rights of way and prop-
erties. It also provides the
same amount of nancial aid

New voters in Lowndes
County have until Saturday
to register with the Lown-
des County Circuit Clerks
ofce.
Circuit Clerk Mahala
Salazar said her ofce would
be open until noon Saturday
registering new voters. The
next election
in Lowndes
County is
June 3 in
pr i ma r i es
for both the
Democratic
and Republi-
can parties
U.S. Senate seats.
Salazar also encouraged
registered voters to make
sure the information on
their identication matches
the information on the voter
rolls.
The new voter ID laws
require photo identication
in order to vote. Valid IDs
include a drivers license,
passport, military ID, and
college ID card. However,
if you do not have a valid
photo ID, you can still vote
in the form of an afdavit.
Those who vote by afda-
vit have ve business days
to produce a photo ID to
the circuit clerks ofce for
their vote to be counted as
ofcial.
Pamela Weaver with the
Mississippi Secretary of
States Ofce said no one
will be turned away from
the polls for lack of identi-
cation.
At no time is anybody
turned away from casting a
ballot, Weaver said.
She added that the name
on the photo ID does not
have to be an exact match to
the name on the voter rolls as
long as an address or birth
date match.
However, Salazar said
having matching informa-
tion would help Election Day
run smoother.
Those who do not have
a proper photo ID can con-
tact the Circuit Clerks of-
ce at 662-241-1920 or visit
msvoterid.ms.gov.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
actor Hoskins dies at 71
BY JILL LAWLESS
The Associated Press
LONDON Bob
Hoskins never lost his
Cockney accent, even as
he became a global star
who charmed and alarmed
audiences in a vast range
of roles.
Short and bald, with
a face he once compared
to a squashed cabbage,
Hoskins was a remarkably
versatile performer. As a
London gangster in The
Long Good Friday, he
moved from bravura blus-
ter to tragic understate-
ment. In Who Framed
Roger Rabbit, he cavort-
ed with a cast of animated
characters, making tech-
nological trickery seem
seamless and natural.
A family statement re-
leased Wednesday said
Hoskins had died in a hos-
pital the night before after
a bout of pneumonia. He
was 71 and had been di-
agnosed with Parkinsons
disease in 2012.
Helen Mirren, who
starred alongside Hoskins
in The Long Good Fri-
day, called him a great
actor and an even greater
man. Funny, loyal, instinc-
tive, hard-working, with
that inimitable energy that
seemed like a spectacular
rework rocket just as it
takes off.
I personally will miss
him very much, London
will miss one of her best
and most loving sons, and
Britain will miss a man to
be proud of, Mirren said.

Mayor Rob Ford will take
a leave of absence to seek
help for alcohol, he said,
as a report surfaced about
a second video of the may-
or smoking what appears
to be crack cocaine.
Ford, who is seeking
re-election in the Oct. 27
vote, said Wednesday he
will take an immediate
leave from his job and his
campaign.
I have a problem with
alcohol, and the choices
I have made while un-
der the inuence. I have
struggled with this for
some time, Ford said in
statement late Wednes-
day.
The Globe and Mail
newspaper said it has
viewed a second video
of Ford smoking what
appears to be crack co-
caine in
his sisters
basement.
The nation-
al news-
paper said
two Globe
r epor t ers
viewed the
video from
a self-professed drug
dealer showing Ford tak-
ing a drag from a pipe ear-
ly Saturday morning.
The video is part of a
package of three videos
the dealer said was sur-
reptitiously lmed around
1:15 a.m., and which he
says he is now selling for
at least six gures, the
paper reported.
News reports of the
existence of an earlier
video of Ford apparently
smoking crack rst sur-
faced last May, igniting a
media restorm around
Ford.
Fords lawyer, Dennis
Morris, said he spoke to
Ford earlier Wednesday
and said Ford has accept-
ed that he has a problem.
He acknowledges he
has a substance abuse
problem and he wants to
do something about it,
Morris told The Associat-
ed Press.

BUSINESS BRIEFS
BY NATHAN GREGORY
The Mississippi Court
of Appeals overturned
Tuesday a judges order
to the Lowndes County
Board of Supervisors to re-
open Co-Op Road.
Board attorney Tim
Hudson informed super-
visors of the ruling during
their Wednesday meeting.
The courts 8-1 decision
was based on a failure
of the residents who ap-
pealed to do so at least 10
days after the boards res-
olution in October 2011. A
county circuit court judge
ordered supervisors to re-
open the road and restore
it to county specications
of condition in February
2013, nding that the pub-
lished notice of a public
hearing for the road clo-
sure had been insufcient.
The county responded
by appealing to the Missis-
sippi Court of Appeals. It
voted to re-open the road,
which runs alongside the
Columbus Co-Op in Dis-
trict 2, in May 2013.
Local attorney Hal Mc-
Clanahan, representing
his own family and anoth-
er family who owned land
and rights of way near the
area in question, led a
motion last month against
the county and two rail-
road companies for not re-
pairing and re-opening the
roads rail crossing. The
motion also contended
there was no public notice
given before the county
entered into an agreement
with BNSF Railway Com-
pany to close the road if
the company would repair
and widen the adjacent
Bethel Road crossing from
10 to 20 feet and re-close
the Co-Op crossing.
County road manager
Ronnie Burns said the area
in question serves fewer
than 10 homes.
Contacted after the
meeting Wednesday, Mc-
Clanahan said he would
speak to his clients before
deciding whether to appeal
to the Mississippi Supreme
Court, which has to agree
to hear the case if its led.
McClanahan argues
that since supervisors
voted last May to re-open
the road, its open. Hud-
son said the courts ruling
renders the circuit judges
decision moot and that the
road is re-abandoned.
We cant be in con-
tempt of an order thats va-
cated, Hudson said.
Bond option renewed
Supervisors also re-
newed a resolution that
will give them authority to
issue up to $30 million in
bonds for infrastructure
upgrades over the next
two years. They will have
the option during that time
to issue one or more bonds
at any time over the next
two years if the potential
for economic development
projects arise.
County leaders have ad-
opted similar resolutions
twice over the last four
years but have not exer-
cised the option, instead
nding other nancing
mechanisms for industrial
development.
Supes approve
advertising for
Riverwalk connector,
shooting range bids
Supervisors also ap-
proved to advertise for bids
for sidewalk connections
between the Riverwalk
and soccer complex. The
Mississippi Department
of Transportation awarded
$500,000 to build the side-
walks and will open bids
from contractors June 17.
They also agreed to ad-
vertise locally for dirt bids
for a shooting range being
built at the old Maxim Med-
ical property now owned
by the city of Columbus
and the county. The Gold-
en Triangle Development
LINK successfully applied
for a $1,053,000 military
base enhancement grant.
Both entities must match
more than $30,000 in land
donations and $275,000 in
in-kind services, which will
involve doing some of the
work in-house. Construc-
tion is set to be complete
in October for the range,
which will benet the Co-
lumbus Air Force Base.

To our valued patients:

We would like to take a moment of your time to share some exciting
news with you regarding our family. We have had the privilege to
serve the Columbus community as pharmacists for many years, and
it is our pleasure to tell you that Sheltons Pharmacy has decided
to transition ownership to freds Pharmacy. Please understand
that this decision was made only after months of much thought and
consideration, but its a decision that we are excited to announce.

While our pharmacy name has changed, your pharmacy team is
the same. Our pharmacy team and support staff will continue as a
partner within the community.
The current team at Sheltons Pharmacy will simply receive additional
support we need from freds Pharmacy to ensure the continued
great service you expect and deserve. It was important to choose
a company that aims to be a hometown pharmacy, like Sheltons

BROWNING ON BUSINESS
F
or a couple of weeks there
has been a sign in front
of a vacant storefront in
downtown Columbus that reads,
Taylor Smith Shoes. Just be-
neath that sign is another that
reads, Coming Soon.
Brenda McCoy is the person
behind the shop. She hopes to
have the business, located at
the old Alford Drug building at
423 Main St., up and running by
the end of May. Until then shes
working on stocking up inven-
tory with name-brand items. In
an interview with The Dispatch
on Wednesday, she said she
plans on offering church shoes,
fashionable shoes and athletic
shoes. McCoy wants to market
the store toward both a young,
hip crowd, and an older, tradi-
tional crowd.
Where did the
business name
come from?
McCoy had her
two grandchildren
with her one day
and mentioned that
she needed to come
up with a name for
her shoe store. The
5-year-old said it
should be Taylor
Smith Shoes, and
it stuck.
The 2,800 square foot space
where the store will be housed
was previously occupied by
Serendipity by Valerie, which
moved to Jackson Square on
Highway 45 North earlier this
year.
When Taylor Smith Shoes
opens, the hours will be 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m. on Mondays through
Saturdays, according to McCoy.
When temperatures begin
to rise in the south barbecue
sometimes comes to mind.
Columbus has quite
a few options Pig
Out BBQ House,
Pit & Cone, Little
Dooeys, Hanks #1
BBQ, Bob Rob-
erts BBQ, Glenns
Smokin Hot BBQ
& Fish, Pops BBQ,
Shirleys BBQ and
others.
But do you know
about Brothers
Keeper Barbecue?
Ronnie Clayton is
the owner of this off-the-radar
place, which is only open two
days a week, and some holi-
days. It is located at the corner
of Seventh Avenue North and
20th Street North.
Clayton is a Columbus na-
tive. His family, though, comes
from around Bigbee Valley. His
grandfather was a sharecrop-
per down there and Clayton
remembers his grandmother
cooking on a wood-burning
stove. He hung around and
picked up some barbecue
tricks. He was tight-lipped
about specics and, when
pressed about those tricks, only
said, You study your art. You
learn it, earn it, own it.
He opened Brothers Keeper
Barbecue in 2010. It is open
from noon until 10 p.m. on
Fridays and Saturdays.
An item for our local military
and veterans.
There has been talk of the
Department of Defense closing
base commissaries as a way to
tighten its budget. On Wednes-
day, House lawmakers in
Washington, D.C., rejected the
proposed cuts. But the subcom-
mittee action is only the rst
step in a long process and there
is still a long way to go before
the Pentagons 2015 budget is
approved by Congress, accord-
ing to Military Times.
The DOD operates 245 com-
missaries around the world,
including one at Columbus Air
Force Base located in Building
160B on Simler Boulevard. A
family of four shopping regu-
larly can save more than $4,500
on their total annual grocery
bill, according to the Defense
Commissary Agency.
Lastly, Kroger has recalled
two brands of ice cream sold at
Mississippi locations because
of a labeling issue.
The recall affects 16-ounce
containers of Private Selection
Chocolate Hazelnut Mascar-
pone Ice Cream and Private
Selection Caramel Hazelnut
Fudge Trufe Ice Cream. Kro-
ger says the ice cream may con-
tain egg not listed on the label
and that could cause a reaction
in those with egg allergies. No
illnesses have been reported.
Columbus and Starkville
both have Kroger locations.

WASHINGTON
The Federal Reserve
struck an encouraging
note Wednesday: It will
further cut its bond pur-
chases because the U.S.
job market needs less
help. And it said the econ-
omy had strengthened af-
ter all but stalling during
a harsh winter.
The Fed also reaf-
rmed its plan to keep
short-term interest rates
low to support the econ-
omy for a considerable
time after its bond pur-
chases end, likely late this
year.
Reserve cuts monthly bond
purchases and sounds upbeat

Bacteria
resistant to an-
tibiotics have
now spread to
every part of
the world and
might lead to
a future where minor in-
fections could kill, accord-
ing to a report published
Wednesday by the World
Health Organization.
In its rst global survey
of the resistance problem,
WHO said it found very
high rates of drug-resis-
tant E. coli bacteria, which
causes problems including
meningitis and infections
of the skin, blood and the
kidneys. The agency noted
there are many countries
where treatment for the
bug is useless in more than
half of patients.
WHOs report also found
worrying rates of resistance
in other bacteria, including
common causes of pneumo-
nia and gonorrhea.
Unless there is urgent
action, the world is headed
for a post-antibiotic era in
which common infections
and minor injuries which
have been treatable for de-
cades can once again kill,
Dr. Keiji Fukuda, one of the
agencys assistant direc-
tor-generals, warned in a
release.
WHO acknowledged it
couldnt assess the validi-
ty of the data provided by
countries and that many
had no information on anti-
biotic resistance available.
Health experts have long
warned about the dangers
of drug resistance, particu-
larly in diseases such as tu-
berculosis, malaria and u.
Drug resistance

THE
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Appreciation for student athletes
I am a chapter president of a fraternity at Missis-
sippi State University.
I wanted to write and inform about how thor-
oughly impressed I am with some Mississippi
States student athletes. This past Saturday, the
Kappa Sigma fraternity played the Sigma Chi frater-
nity in a full contact football game in Davis Wade
Stadium.
This was the 16th annual Kappa Sigma Charity
Classic and thus far we have raised over $880,000
through this event.
This year, through a combination of private
donors, chapter fundraising and a donation from
Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma was able to raise over
$94,000. This is a feat unmatched in Mississippi
State fraternity fundraising history. The charities
who beneted from this years efforts were Habitat
for Humanity, Reclaimed Project and John Clark
Packer, a Kappa Sigma alumnus.
Evan Sobiesk, a sophomore Bulldog kicker and
current Kappa Sigma active, helped coordinate sev-
eral football players to voluntarily coach. Of course,
we checked with the proper channels to ensure we
did not commit any NCAA violations. Bracky Brett,
director of Compliance at Mississippi State, signed
off on the involvement.
Evan, Dak Prescott, Gus Walley, Damian Wil-
liams, Nick Fitzgerald, Ben Beckwith and Fred
Walker all were instrumental in Kappa Sigmas 22-
19 victory in the game. Their desire to give up their
already limited time for a charity event expecting
nothing in return would be impressive enough, but
the guys went beyond that. Dak wrote up a 16 page
playbook for the team and several of the guys began
regularly attending practice two weeks before the
game. Their energy on the sideline on game day
galvanized the team and legitimized the event. It
could not have been a success without their seless
contribution.
Many times the work that our athletes do off of
the eld can be under appreciated, but I do not want
this instance to go unnoticed. It is truly encourag-
ing to see how genuine and thoughtful the faces
of our universitys football program can be. This
would not happen without the infrastructure provid-
ed by Mississippi States leaders and coaches. The
example and vision that has been set by MSUs lead-
ership is being played out before our eyes at events
such as this years Charity Classic.
With that, I wanted to extend my deepest thanks
to our student athletes for the contributions made
to make the 2014 Charity Classic an overwhelming
success. It certainly wouldnt have happened with-
out them
Walton Chaney
Mississippi State
Agrees with editorial
Your most recent, timely and needed editorial re-
garding the Columbus Public Schools made known
to all of us that each one needs to speak out on the
critical issues of our leadership in the schools.
For more than 30-plus years I have been a teach-
er: High school mathematics in Yazoo City, Ms.,
Jackson, Ms., and teacher of elementary and special
education at MUW as well as ve or more summers
in the graduate school at Mississippi State. This
hands-on experience with education has taught me
a lot about what is needed for our children to learn
and be successful in their real time lives. The edu-
cators in charge must be dedicated to the students
rst, not just to get good grades on the tests but to
be a critical thinker, learn what it takes to have a
successful career, and to be the best citizen you can
be for the good of everyone.
Our editor concisely and in a straight forward
manner identied the deep needs of our schools.
1. A school board which makes all the decisions
for the students must be focused on the best inter-
est of the students all of them and not on the
racial prejudice of anyone. The success of schools
is a critical component of a healthy economy. The
people of this city must pull together or we will fall
together. A school system which receives a failing
grade leads to a failing economy, because parents
who want good educations for their children will not
move to Columbus as long as mediocrity or worse
exists here. An outstanding high quality school
system is a requirement to grow the economy of
Columbus.
2. A detailed on-site study of schools that have
gotten it right should be a learning opportunity
for school boards, school administrators, teachers,
and school staffs. When Dr. Alma Turner was the
Principal of the Demonstration School the students
learned and loved the learning. She was totally
devoted to the process not to honors for herself,
pride or notoriety-but to the children. She set a
great example for an educator. She did not see:
and still doesnt see, the color of a child or teacher.
She was too invested in the self esteem and growth
she could help them to achieve.
3. Last and most important is the need for a
competent school superintendent, one who has suc-
cessful experience and a proven method of being
dedicated to students.
Dr. Edna McGill as interim superintendent has
clearly demonstrated her leadership, competence,
people and student skills, nancial acumen and
diplomacy under re and with her staff. We totally
recommend her appointment to ll this critical
position as superintendent of the Columbus Public
Schools. Why should we took further, wasting mon-
ey and time when we have the right person, known
and qualied, right here. We have seen her success,
she is not an unknown quantity, and should be
re-instated permanently for the good of all. What a
simple and easy solution!

SLIMANTICS
During the month
of April, Mississippi
Secretary of State
Delbert Hosemann
began criss-crossing
the state at taxpay-
er expense, natu-
rally to promote
the state-mandated
Voter ID law that will
require Mississippians
to produce a state-is-
sued ID before casting
a ballot.
Mississippis
version of Voter ID is obviously a
point of pride for Hosemann, who
long advocated for the measure
during his tenure in the Legisla-
ture before becoming secretary
of state. On a stop at the Lown-
des County courthouse on April
14, Hosemann was effusive in his
praise of the law and its imple-
mentation. While many similar
Voter ID laws have faced legal
challenges Wisconsins law
was struck down in federal court
just this week Hosemann was
quick to point out that Mississip-
pis law is so wonderfully con-
structed that it has yet to face any
legal challenge. In fact, he said,
his ofce has won two national
awards for how the law has been
advertised and promoted.
The state has spent about
$300,000 money appropriated
by the Legislature to make
sure that all eligible voters have
proper IDs.
The result? By mid-April,
between 600 and 700 new Voter
IDs had been issued state-wide.
In Lowndes County, a three-toed
sloth could count the number.
Yep, a total of three Voter IDs
had been issued
through Lowndes
County Circuit Clerk
Haley Salazars ofce.
This week, we
learned that a rumor
circulating about a po-
tential problem with
some IDs might cre-
ate a problem, a claim
quickly shot down by
election ofcials. The
rumor was that wom-
en who had married
and changed their last
names after having previously
registered to vote might not be
allowed to vote because the name
on their ID wouldnt match the
name on their voter registration.
Not true, Salazar said this
week.
As best we can tell, the names
dont even have to match. The
addresses dont, either. As for
the photo on the ID, it need not
necessarily be a recent photo.
For example, if you renew your
drivers license online, you might
be able to vote with a 10-year-old
photo.
In short, the validity of the ID
presented at the polls is pretty
much up to the discretion of poll
workers.
So the state is spending more
than $1,000 per head on to pro-
vide IDs in an effort to imple-
ment a system that falls far short
of the precision you would expect
for a program touted to end voter
fraud in our state.
The biggest fraud is still out
there: Its called the Mississippi
Legislature, which continues
to pump out legislation to solve
problems that dont exist in an
effort to pander to a voter base
whose gullibility is exceeded
only by its paranoia.
During a three-year study of
federal elections, data showed
that of the 197 million votes
cast, 40 voters were indicted on
voter fraud charges. Of all those
voters, .00000013 percent were
actually convicted of voter fraud.
So naturally, Mississippis
leaders have to do something
about that epidemic of voter
fraud.
We should not be surprised,
of course. During this years ses-
sion, the Legislature passed laws
to afrm Mississippians right
to hunt and sh and to restore
religious liberty in Mississippi.
As far as we can tell, the only
thing preventing someone from
hunting and shing is a spouse
that demands that the yard needs
mowing instead. The only thing
standing in the way of exercising
our religious liberties is a really
good NFL matchup that kicks off
the same time as church services
start.
Still, we are comforted to
know that our legislators remain
vigilant in guarding against
imaginary threats. The real
threats inadequate education,
poverty, poor medical care,
deteriorating roads and bridges
will have to wait.
But we do have a real fraud
problem when it comes to voting.
But the frauds are not the people
who turn up at the polls to vote.
It is the people the voters put into
ofce.

Voice of the people: William
Ford, M.D.
KJ705: I think the point of
the comparison has completely
slipped by you: we would look
askance at memorials of WWII
that celebrated the cause of the
Germans or the Japanese yet we
do not do the same for a memo-
rial that venerates a society that
fought a war for the right to retain
the institution of slavery. Slavery
as an institution, I submit, was
worse than a war crime. We took
an abominable act and turned
it into an institution that people
believed was not only normal, but
moral, just, and good.
Its sad that even today we can-
not seem to bring ourselves to ad-
mit that the Confederacy and the
society it sought to preserve have
earned condemnation rather than
praise. Maybe in another hundred
and fty years well attain the
perspective necessary to see it for
the shameful episode in American
history that it in fact was.
lets_see: This is/was too com-
plex an issue to solve in 1-2 sen-
tence dialogs. Both the North and
the South were right and wrong.
But to reduce this to apologizing
only for the South is clearly being
a pacist!
KJ705: Im not suggesting that
anyone apologize for the south.
Im suggesting that we stop ven-
erating a society and a people that
fought for the right to deny other
human beings the right to exist on
equal terms, the right to deny oth-
er people the basic rights guaran-
teed to them by the Constitution
and promised by the Declaration
of Independence.
If we want to honor soldiers
who fought for a cause that THEY
believed in and did so bravely, that
wouldnt be repugnant. But we
have a day to memorialize Amer-
ican soldiers, which, as someone
has pointed out elsewhere, we
have deemed confederate soldiers
to be by law. The sole purpose
for recognizing Confederate
Memorial Day is to celebrate not
the men but the cause. And that,
in my opinion, is repugnant.

OKLAHOMA CITY
Oklahoma Gov. Mary
Fallin named a member of
her Cabinet on Wednesday
to lead a review of how the
state conducts executions
after a botched procedure
that the White House said
fell short of the humane
standards required.
Fallin said Clayton Lock-
ett, who had an apparent
heart attack 43 minutes af-
ter the start of an execution
in which the state was using
a new drug combination for
the rst time, had his day in
court.
I believe the death pen-
alty is an appropriate re-
sponse and punishment to
those who commit heinous
crimes against their fellow
men and women, Fallin
said. However, I also be-
lieve the state needs to be
certain of its protocols and
its procedures for execu-
tions and that they work.
Lockett convulsed vio-
lently and tried to lift his
head after a doctor declared
him unconscious, and pris-
on ofcials halted the exe-
cution. Fallin said an inde-
pendent review would be
effective and appropriate.
The governor said the
review, to be led by Depart-
ment of Public Safety Com-
missioner Michael Thomp-
son, will focus on Locketts
cause of death and that an
independent pathologist
will make that determina-
tion. The review will also
look at whether the depart-
ment followed the current
protocol correctly and will
include recommendations
for future executions.
Lockett, 38, had been
declared unconscious 10
minutes after the rst of
three drugs in the states
new lethal injection com-
bination was administered
Tuesday. Three minutes
later, he began breathing
heavily, clenching his teeth.
The blinds were lowered to
prevent those in the view-
ing gallery from watching,
and the states top prison
ofcial later halted the pro-
ceedings. Lockett died of a
heart attack shortly there-
after, the Department of
Corrections said. Ofcials
later blamed a ruptured
vein for the problems with
Locketts execution.
Previously, most execu-
tions in Oklahoma, which
used different fast-acting
barbiturates, were com-
pleted and the inmate de-
clared dead within about 10
minutes of the procedures
start.

WASHINGTON Re-
ports of sexual assaults
by members of the mili-
tary rose 50 percent af-
ter the Pentagon began a
vigorous campaign to get
more victims to come for-
ward, prompting defense
ofcials to order a greater
focus on prevention pro-
grams, including plans to
review alcohol sales and
policies.
But ofcials are still
unhappy with the low
number of male victims
who reported sexual as-
sault, and they say there
will be a greater emphasis
in the months ahead on
getting men to come for-
ward and seek help. Final
data obtained by The As-
sociated Press show that
about 14 percent of the
reports led last year in-
volved male victims.

BY MATT VOLZ
AND MATTHEW BROWN
HELENA, Mont. A Montana
man is accused of setting a trap
and blindly blasting a shotgun
into his garage, killing a 17-year-
old German exchange student. A
Minnesota man is convicted of ly-
ing in wait in his basement for two
teenagers and killing them during
a break-in.
The two recent cases take the
stand your ground debate to a
new level: Do laws that allow pri-
vate citizens to protect their prop-
erty also let them set a trap and
wait for someone to kill?
We dont want it to be easy to
be able to prosecute people. But
we want to be able to hold individ-
uals accountable when they have
stepped outside the bounds of so-
ciety, David LaBahn, president of
the Washington, D.C.-based Asso-
ciation of Prosecuting Attorneys,
said Wednesday.
More than 30 states have laws
expanding the self-defense princi-
pal known as the castle doctrine,
a centuries-old premise that a per-
son has the right to defend their
home against attack, LaBahn said.
The name evokes the old saying,
my home is my castle.
Most of these changes have
come since Florida in 2005 became
the rst state to interpret the cas-
tle doctrine to apply outside the
home with a measure known as the
stand your ground law.
These laws make it far easier
for a person to shoot someone and
avoid prosecution by saying they
felt an imminent danger wheth-
er or not the person who was shot
was armed.
The principle became central to
the defense of a 2012 shooting of an
unarmed Florida teenager, Tray-
von Martin, by a neighborhood
watch volunteer who was following
the 17-year-old. George Zimmer-
man was acquitted last year.
The Montana and Minnesota
cases involve homeowners who
had been burglarized and said they
were afraid of it happening again.
Prosecutors say they lured intrud-
ers into fatal encounters.
In Montana, Markus Kaarma
told investigators his Missoula
home had been burglarized twice
within the last week before Sun-
days shooting death of 17-year-
old Diren Dede. Kaarma told his
hairdresser he had stayed up three
nights waiting to shoot a kid, the
woman told investigators.
The night of the shooting, Kaar-
ma and his partner, Janelle Pager,
left their garage door open. Pager
left her purse in the garage so that
they would take it, she told a po-
lice ofcer. She also set up a video
baby monitor and installed motion
sensors, prosecutors said.
After midnight, they heard the
sensors trip. Pager turned to the
video monitor and saw a man in the
garage. Kaarma took his shotgun,
walked out the front door and to
the driveway.
He told investigators he heard
metal on metal and without speak-
ing red four times sweeping
the garage with three low shots
and a high fourth shot. Dede was
hit in the head and the arm.
Montanas law says a person is
justied in using deadly force if
they believe it necessary to prevent
an assault or a forcible felony.
Stand your ground law being
tested in recent shootings
Do laws that allow private citizens to protect their
property also let them set a trap and wait
for someone to kill?

area a little after 4 p.m.
Monday with winds that
reached 185 mph, cutting
a brutal path across Win-
ston County, according to
weather.com.
Not far from Cul-
peppers place, Keith
and Judy Knight were
huddled with their
extended family in their
Lawrence Ridge Road
home. Things never got
too bad in Caledonia and
the Knights eventually
went to bed.
On Tuesday morning
Knight walked his two-
acre yard nding dozens
of odd pieces of trash.
A piece of Styrofoam.
Some aluminum wrap.
Some insulation. Sheet
rock. A paper that ap-
peared to be some sort of
medical record. All that
could have come from
anywhere.
On Wednesday,
though, Knight found
in his front yard, near
his driveway, a Bank of
Louisville check writ-
ten on April 2, 1974. It
was for $1,120.25 and
made out to the Gulf
Oil Corporation. It was
from a Louisville-based
business owned by a man
named George E. Jarvis
and signed by his wife,
Frances.
It might have come
out of someones attic,
Judy Knight said.
Later, Keith Knight
discovered a high school
graduation portrait in
his backyard. It shows
an unidentied smiling
young man dressed in
khakis and Polo shirt. It
is from the year 2000.
Knight also found a
ripped piece of a USPS
-stamped envelope
laying in his yard. It was
addressed to a home
at 1140 Hopkins Rd. in
Noxapater, a small town
in south Winston County.
Over on Old Wolfe
Road, Angela Toms also
found a torn photograph
in her yard Tuesday
morning. It shows an old-
er, unidentied woman in
a Sunday dress and white
shoes, standing in what
appears to be a back
yard, smiling at the cam-
era. Toms is convinced it
is from Louisville.
We would love to
return it to the owner if
we could nd her, Toms
said.
Across the road in
front of the Knights
home is an open, large
and uncut eld.
That eld is proba-
bly full of stuff, Knight
said while looking at it
Wednesday afternoon.
At press time, the
death toll in Louisville
was at nine.

As state and federal

tinue to assess damage,
additional categories of

as damaged roads could
be added, Bryant said.
We have experienced
tragic loss of life as a re-
sult of these storms and
tornadoes, and many
Mississippians have lost
their homes and all that
they own, Bryant said
in a release. We have a
strong working relation-
ship with our partners
at the local and federal
levels, and I appreciate
Senators Thad Cochran
and Roger Wicker and
the Mississippi congres-
sional delegation for aid-
ing in this quick response
from the federal govern-
ment. This assistance
will help Mississippi do
what it does bestre-
build and rebound in the
face of adversity.
Needs
were doing everything we
can from the light and wa-
ter department standpoint
to restore power, Smith
said. Our primary con-
cern is to try to get them
some relief and some
comfort. You can under-
stand that they are upset.
We want to let them know
that we are concerned. Co-
lumbus Light and Water is
working around the clock
trying to get them some
relief and get their power
back on, but (residents)
just have to be under-
standing.
The Salvation Army
has had its canteen truck
in the area since Tuesday
serving hot meals to those
in need, local chapter ex-
ecutive director Eric Rob-
erts said. The Salvation
Army will have a lunch
today at its 2219 Main St.
location from 11 a.m.-1
p.m. Roberts encourages
anyone who is able to get
to the facility to receive
a meal to do so. Tues-
day and Wednesday, the
truck service provided
135 meals, he said, while
130 meals were served
Wednesday at the Main
Street ofce for dinner.
Were trying to pre-
pare for however long it
takes to do this, Roberts
said. Its better that they
come to us if they can.
We have so many more
to serve around Beech
Street and Poplar Avenue
but we ran out of food ear-
lier, so we came back to
the building to restock.
Roberts added that The
Salvation Army is always
accepting food donations
but that money is current-
ly needed the most.
Meanwhile, CL&W
General Manager Todd
Gale said crews from elec-
tric departments in Water
Valley and Okolona are
assisting local crews in re-
storing electricity to those
who have been affected
and hopes to have power
restored in all areas by Fri-
day. About 30 linemen are
working to restore power
to more than 200 homes
that havent had any since
Monday, Gale said.

Smith wanted to re-
mind residents that city
public works crews cannot
enter private property to
remove limbs and debris
from yards, but if resi-

limbs and put them on the
side of the street, crews
will work to remove them
as soon as possible.

The areas of the city

Mickens said he has been
visiting residents along
with rst responders to
nd out what needs they
have and tend to them. Po-
lice ofcers have brought
tarps to residents so they
can temporarily cover
their roofs, Mickens said,
adding that his main con-
cern has been the well-be-
ing of senior citizens who
have had no electricity
since Monday.
With Light and Wa-

Wednesday. People are

Baseball players at Heritage Academy celebrate Wednesday nights 4-1 MAIS Class
AAA, Division II playoff win over Oak Forest (La.) at Trip Carson Field.
BY ADAM MINICHINO
aminichino@cdispatch.com
Cody Mordecai made sure he and the
Heritage Academy baseball team were
Sasser Strong in their playoff debut
Wednesday night.
Buoyed by a complete-game ve-hit-
ter from Mordecai, Heritage Academy
used a four-run rst inning to beat Oak
Forest (La.) Academy 4-1 in Game 1 of
their Mississippi Association of Indepen-
dent Schools Class AAA, Division II play-
off series at Trip Carson Field.
Mordecai, a senior right-hander,
walked one and struck out ve in an
80-pitch effort (59 strikes). Aside from
allowing a single to Chet Niehaus that
turned into the Yellow Jackets only run
thanks to a steal of home, Mordecai
(4-2) mixed his pitches well, got stron-
ger as the game progressed, and relied
on a defense that helped him record 11
ground ball outs without an error. Mor-
decais ability to hit his spots and to pitch
to contact enabled the Patriots (19-12) to
take the rst step in the playoffs in a little
more than 90 minutes.
I felt like I was hitting my spots re-
ally well, said Mordecai, who received
a game ball for his effort. My off-speed
pitch was working really good tonight
and we had really good defense tonight.
I had the condence to go in and hit my
spot and know my defense was behind
me to make the plays.
Oak Forest manufactured its only run
by sacricing Niehaus to second base.
He moved to third on a ground ball out
and then got a running start off third
base and capitalized on Mordecai work-
ing out of the windup and catcher Dylan
Barker not seeing him coming until it
was too late.
Despite falling into an early hole,
Mordecai said he didnt allow the steal of
home to affect his concentration. Coming
off a loss to Jackson Academy on April 16
in which he allowed a season-high nine
hits and ve runs, Mordecai only allowed
two baserunners to get as far as second
BY MATTHEW STEVENS
mstevens@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE Its now
becoming an alarming trend
for the home team at Dudy No-
ble Field.
Not enough hitting and
fundamental errors leading
to another head scratching re-
sult. Jacksonville State, a third
place team in the Ohio Valley
Conference, manufactured
a 2-1 upset win Wednesday
night in Starkville. The disap-
pointing result further added
to the confusing nature for a
Bulldogs team that continues
to fall further on the bubble
for an at-large selection to a
NCAA Regional.
Were 46 games in and
were doing stuff like this,
MSU coach John Cohen said
after the loss. You cant give
the other team anything and
we gave them bases tonight.
Thats unacceptable. Thats
my fault.
Cohen and MSU pitching
coach Butch Thompson had

Josh Stillman was eager to see what
role he could play as a junior with the
New Hope High School baseball team.
Through 27 games, Stillman has
proven quite capable of being a consis-
tent contributor at the plate and on the
mound for the Mississippi High School
Activities Associations Class 5A de-
fending state champion.
Later this year, Stillman will get an-
other chance to prove himself.
This time it will be on an even big-
ger stage. In January, Stillman attended
an Under Armour Baseball Factory Na-
tional Tryout and Premium Video pro-
gram in Jackson and was selected to be
a part of the Under Armour Southwest
Regional Championships that will run
from July 29-Aug. 4 in Southern Cali-
fornia. The showcase tournament will
feature some of the nations top players.
I am going to let them see what a
country boy from Mississippi can do,
Stillman said with a smile. I think it will
be good to play with some of the best
guys in the nation. Going all of the way
to California will be a lot of exposure.
There will be a lot of college coaches
there and even though I may not go play
out West it is a long way but just

Gevonta Webb never imagined him-
self as a catcher for the Columbus High
School baseball team.
Sure, Webb played the position when
he was in elementary school, but he
always thought of himself as a second
baseman or playing another position.
When Webb moved to the high
school team as a freshman, he made
sure to tell Columbus High coach Jef-
frey Cook how he felt.
To his credit, Cook didnt listen.
Something Cook saw in watching
Webb, who wasnt built anything like a
prototypical catcher, convinced him the
Falcons had found their next catcher to
replace Josh Tentoni and to handle a tal-
ented group of pitchers for the years to
come.
Three years later, Webb can sit in the
Columbus High dugout and smile.
Not only have the Falcons increased
their win total each of the past three
seasons and made the playoffs four-
straight years, but Webb also is part of
a senior class that, according to Cook,
helped the program win its rst playoff
series.
Thats tting for a player like Webb,
who admits he had plenty of work to do

Special to The Dispatch
Drivers and their crews usu-
ally face an adjustment period
when breaking in a new chas-
sis, but veteran super late mod-
el driver and Golden Triangle
native Rick Rickman won his
second race of this season with
a new chassis and has four top-3
nishes thus far.
Rickman, of New Hope-
based Rickman Racing, ran
his No. 86 car on a MasterSbilt
chassis for the last three years
before switching to a chassis
from Bob Pierce Race Cars be-
fore this season started. Rick-
man said he had success using
his old chassis, but newer is
better.
Most guys change their
chassis every year, Rickman
said, and Id been on (the Mas-
terSbilt) for a few years.
Rickman saw success ear-
ly, winning a a Mississippi
State Championship Challenge
Series event at Whynot Mo-
torsports Park outside of Me-
ridian. He currently leads the
weekly events points standings.
Rickman came close to win-
ning the MSCCS points race at
Columbus Motor Speedway on
April 12, but he got caught up in
lap trafc and came in second
behind David Breazeale.
The chassis acts a bit differ-
ent, theres a lot more forward
bite and it hooks up better,
Rickman explained. We were
looking to make a change, and
weve been happy with results
so far.
Rickman, sponsored by
Vance Logistics and 1250
Package Store, will return to
action in two weeks when the
Rickman Racing team heads to
Greenville, Miss. Rickman said
hes run well in Greenville in
past races and hes anxious to
return to the track.
On April 19, at the Nation-
al Dirt Racing League event
at Magnolia Motor Speedway,
Rickman was one of 24 cars (out
of 50) to make the feature eld
against mostly full-time driv-
ers. Mechanical issues forced
him out of the race, however.
We ran the wrong tires and
had some other things happen
that forced us to pull off, Rick-
man said. But sometimes, to
make the eld in an event like
that, its almost as good as a
weekly racing series win.
Rickman, whose father
Eddie and brother Brian are
members of the Rickman Rac-
ing team, has a 17-year-old son,
Trey, who has started running
CRATE late models. The third
generation racer has given
Rickman added perspective
of rearing a child who loves to

base the rest of the way.
My rst inning is always my
worst, Mordecai said. But as the
game went on I felt like I could
hit my spots better. My off-speed
pitch was working really well, so
I told my dad in the third or the
fourth inning to call my off-speed
pitch more. They are a fastball-hit-
ting team. That is what I was told
before the game, so I wanted to
mess them up and throw off-speed.
That seemed to work pretty well.
Heritage Academy coach Bruce
Branch credited his defense for
making all of the plays and se-
niors Mordecai, Jace Caldwell, and
Mark Thatcher for setting the tem-
po with their leadership.
If were going to make a run at
this, Cody Mordecai has to be the
key to our success on the mound,
Branch said. Our three seniors
have done a great. Mark Thatcher
has been consistent in the lineup,
and Jace Caldwell has been com-
ing on at the end of the year.
Branch said he planned to stick
with Mordecai for as long as he
could go because he wanted to
have his best pitcher on the mound.
Of the ve hits, only a single by
catcher Cade Newsom that went
all the way to the outeld fence
in left-center eld in the seventh
was a sign that the Yellow Jackets
could get something going. But
Anderson came up with his back-
hand play at third base and Cooper
scooped the throw in the dirt from
allowing one hit to escalate into
something more dangerous.
Heritage Academy had eight
hits, including two and an RBI by
Anderson.
It didnt need any other offense
after a rst inning in which Sykes,
Caldwell, and Mordecai (a line
drive off the third basemans glove)
had hits to open the bottom half of
the inning. Thatcher followed with
a ground ball to third base that
went for a elders choice after the
throw home went off Sykes back.
The Yellow Jackets erased a run at
the plat on Barkers ground ball,
but a throwing error by the catcher
after Caldwell slid into his foot and
disrupted his balance allowed two
runs to score. Andersons ineld
single accounted for the nal run.
After the game, Heritage Acad-
emy second-grader Dean Sasser
joined the team for its postgame
huddle. Sasser is recovering from
a February car accident in which
he suffered severe head trauma.
Last week, the Patriots celebrated
Sasser by having him throw out
the rst pitch in their home game
against Washington School. The
players keep Sasser on their minds
and in their hearts by wearing
blue rubber wrist bands with gold
lettering that say, Sasser Strong
and Pray for Dean.
Mordecai said the Patriots are
using Sassers recovery from a
brain bleed and a stint in intensive
care as motivation to work hard
and to play for the second-grader.
He said every time they are down
they think about what Sasser has
been through and it gives them
hope that they can pull through
anything they experience, wheth-
er it be an early decit or a lack of
expectations given they are a No. 2
seed out of the North going against
the No. 1 seed out of the South.
But Heritage Academy used
a ne defensive play by second
baseman Brandon Jones on a ball
hit into the hole between rst and
second base and another gem on
a backhanded play by third base-
man Tyler Anderson and a scoop of
the throw at rst base by Thomas
Cooper.
People have been doubting us
all year, Mordecai said. I think
that started at the beginning of the
season. We dont have that much
talent, but we work good as a team.
I think we have been getting better
and better as we have been going.
We have really good coaches and
our players have seemed to get hot
when they really need to.
Sykes, who plays shortstop
when Mordecai pitches, said he
could tell early on Mordecai was
going to be tough. As a result, he
said the defense had to step up and
do its part to give the senior ace
the condence he needed.
We were able to play relaxed,
Sykes said. We need to win every
inning, and I think that is what
we did. We didnt really hit the
ball, but that rst inning gave us a
push.
Branch said Heritage Academy
will leave today to get closer to Am-
ite City, La., where it will play Oak
Forest at 5 p.m. Friday in Game 2
of the best-of-three series. If need-
ed, Game 3 would follow Game 2.
Branch said Heritage Academy
will spend the night on the road
Thursday before going to Copi-
ah-Lincoln Community College in
Natchez to work out and stay loose
for the game later that day.
Branch also said Sykes, a right-
hander who is 5-2 with a 1.48 ERA,
will start Game 2. Sykes said the
Patriots will keep Sasser in their
thoughts and try to close the se-
ries out. Branch hopes his team
is ready for the challenge of going
on the road for a nearly ve-hour
trip and playing in front of a tough
crowd. He knows the ability to stay
Sasser Strong will be a key.
Dean puts things in perspec-
tive for you and shows each and
every one of us how lucky we are,
Branch said. That is a kid who is
battling and ghting every day to
get back to where he is. I am not
ashamed to say it, we are using
that as motivation. If youre not
Sasser Strong, what are we? We
are Sasser Strong. We are playing
for that kid every day.

Miss. State
Tennis Bulldogs earn national championship invites
STARKVILLE A day after the 17th-ranked Mississippi State
Bulldogs learned they were heading to Austin, Texas, for the 2014
NCAA Team Championships First & Second Rounds, MSUs top
doubles squad earned a spot in the doubles field of the NCAA Individual
Championships in Athens, Ga.
The 18th-ranked duo of Jordan Angus and Malte Stropp will be
making their second-straight appearance in the NCAA Doubles Cham-
pionship, reaching the round of 16 in the doubles field last season.
The at-large bid into the field of 32 puts gives State its fourth doubles
selection in the last five years.
After a 6-3 performance in the fall, which saw the duo reach
the finals of the 2013 SEC Fall Classic, the pair strung together an
impressive spring to reach the NCAAs once again. Angus and Stropp
captured 12 dual match wins, totaling 18 wins on the year, with six
of those coming against ranked opponents. The tandem earned its
biggest win of the year in States home finale, defeating Texas A&Ms
sixth-ranked team of Junior Ore and Jackson Withrow.
MSUs top team has been a mainstay in the rankings this season,
with their highest ranking coming at 6th nationally to start the fall.
Angus and Stropp may be joined in the NCAA Individuals by true
freshman Floriant Lakat, who was named first alternate to the 64-player
NCAA Singles Championship on Wednesday as well.
Lakat, who was recently named SEC Freshman of the Year and to
the All-SEC Second Team and Freshman Team, has accumulated 21
victories for the year and 15 in dual match play. The freshman, who has
earned seven ranked wins on the season, has spent a majority of the
season at the top spot in the MSU lineup where he has collected 12 of
his spring triumphs.
Were really proud of the guys for getting selections in the
individuals, coach Per Nilsson said. Its a great honor for them and a
testament to how hard theyve worked this season.
Also Wednesday, Mississippi State womens tennis standout
Georgiana Patrasc has been selected to compete in the 2014 NCAA
Singles Championship May 21-26 in Athens, Ga., as announced by the
NCAA Division I Selection Committee Wednesday.
Currently ranked 56th nationally, Patrasc has notched a 23-9
overall record this year including a 13-5 mark in dual match competition,
playing all of her contests at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions in States line-
up. The Bacau, Romania, native was 6-2 in Southeastern Conference
matches.
Ole Miss
Baseball Rebels fall to in-state rival Southern Miss
OXFORD The Rebels jumped out to an early lead, but a back
and forth contest down the stretch went the wrong way in the end as
No. 10 Ole Miss (33-13) fell to Southern Miss (27-19) 7-6 Wednesday
night at Swayze Field.
The Rebels couldnt come up with a final answering run as Ole
Miss took the lead three times on the night, but Southern Miss found an
answer each time before claiming the win with a run in the ninth.
Wyatt Short (3-2) took the loss in relief, allowing one run on one hit
with two walks and a strikeout as he worked the ninth for the Rebels.
Short retired two batters before back-to-back walks put men on base
and Nick Dawson delivered an RBI single to put the Golden Eagles on
top for good.
Bradley Roney (1-0) picked up the win in relief, getting Southern
Miss out of the eighth and working a scoreless ninth to pick up the win.
Roney allowed one hit and struck out two batters in his 2.0 innings of
work.
Its just disappointing, said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco.
Somebody has to get them out besides the guys that pitch on the
weekend all the time. We were a little limited today, but the other guys
are supposed to get them out too. We gave up runs in five of the last six
innings, and youre not going to win baseball games doing that.
We werent very efficient (offensively), Bianco said. We couldnt
get the big hit. Early on it looked like we were going to have a great
offensive day. You have to credit them; their guys at the end really shut
it down.
Ole Miss jumped out to a quick lead, pushing three runs across the
plate in the first inning on an RBI single from Sikes Orvis and a two-RBI
single from Errol Robinson as five straight batters reached base to put
together the two-out rally.
The Rebels then added a fourth run in the third inning when Austin
Anderson scored on a sac fly to center from Orvis that put the Rebels
on top 4-0.
Alabama
Crimson Tide takes down Samford in baseball
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. The No. 12-ranked Alabama baseball team
homered four times against the Samford Bulldogs en route to a 9-5
non-conference victory on Wednesday night from Joe Lee Griffin Field.
Mikey White tied a school record with five hits in the game and had two
of the four home runs for the Crimson Tide.
White opened the game with his fourth home run of the season to
spark the five-hit performance. After a single in the second, he homered
for the second time in the game in the fourth inning. He singled in the
sixth and eighth innings to become the 30th player in school to have
a school-record five hits in a single game. White also set new career
highs with four RBI and four runs scored.
No other player in the Bama had more than one hit, but Ben Moore
extended his hitting streak to 10 games when he hit his team-leading
seventh home run of the season in a four-run Bama eighth. Wade Wass
had a solo home run, Georgie Salem had a double and an RBI and
Chance Vincent had an RBI single.
Alabama had its biggest home run output in almost four years,
as the last time the Tide had four home runs in a game came on June
6, 2010 in the Georgia Tech NCAA Regional against Georgia Tech.
The Tide finished the day with 11 total hits, making the 25th game this
season with double-digits in hits.
Alabama used five pitchers and starter Geoffrey Bramblett (4-1)
picked up the win after going 3.2 innings, allowing two runs on two hits
with four walks and four strikeouts. Samford starter Cody Pugh (3-4)
took the loss after allowing four runs on five hits with four walks and
three strikeouts in three plus innings.
Alabama jumped out to an early lead, getting a pair of solo home
runs from White and Wass in the first inning. Leading off the game,
White hit a 2-2 pitch off Pugh over the wall in left field. After the next two
hitters got out, Wass crushed a 1-1 pitch to deep left center field to stake
the Tide to a 2-0 lead before the Bulldogs swung the bats.
n Softball plays at Missouri: At Tuscaloosa, Ala., This weekend,
Alabama (42-9, 17-4 SEC) concludes the regular season with its
first-ever road trip to Columbia, Mo., to face the Missouri Tigers (40-13,

HATTIESBURG Southern
Miss Director of Athletics Bill
McGillis announced the hiring of
Doc Sadler as the 20th head mens
basketball coach in school history
Wednesday night.
Sadler will be formally intro-
duced at a press conference at noon
today on the Hattiesburg campus.
The press conference is open to the
public and will be video streamed
live on SouthernMiss.com
Sadlers resume reads like a
whos who of college basketball as
he has coached in the Big 12, Big
10, PAC 12, and Conference USA
while working under some of the
greatest basketball minds in the
game including Bill Frieder, Billy
Gillispie, Eddie Sutton, Bill Self and
Fred Hoiberg. Doc Sadler is known
nationally for his recruiting prowess
and his development of talent as evi-
denced by19 current or former NBA
players that have been tutored by
him. A hallmark of a Sadler coached
team is their aggressive hard noise
defensive style of play.
Weve hired one of the great
coaches in America and a perfect
match for Southern Miss in Doc
Sadler, McGillis said. He is uni-
versally respected by his peers
and regarded as one of the great
coaching minds and recruiters in
the country. Importantly, he will be
a magnicent t in our community.
Our students, faculty, alumni and
fans will love his engaging and gen-
uine personality.
Coach Doc Sadler comes to
Southern Miss from Iowa State,
where as an assistant coach he
helped guide the Cyclones to one
of their best seasons ever last year
with a 28-8 record, an appearance in
the Sweet 16, a Big 12 Conference
Tournament Title, and a #3 seed in
the NCAA Tournament.
My family and I are very excit-
ed to be joining the Southern Miss
family. I look forward to being a part
of the unbelievable tradition of the
Golden Eagle basketball program
and building on the great founda-
tion already in place, said Sadler.
I cant wait to meet both our players
and fans. Were going to do some
special things together.
As a head coach, Sadler is no

DAntoni, Lakers part ways
BY GREG BEACHAM
LOS ANGELES Los Angeles
Lakers coach Mike DAntoni re-
signed Wednesday after less than
two seasons on the job.
Team spokesman John Black
conrmed DAntonis resignation,
ending the brief tenure of the Lak-
ers fourth head coach in less than
three years.
DAntoni went 67-87 after taking
over the Lakers early in the 2012-13
season. He replaced the red Mike
Brown, who lasted just 71 games af-
ter replacing 11-time NBA champi-
on coach Phil Jackson in 2011.
The injury-plagued Lakers were
27-55 this season, their worst cam-
paign in more than 50 years and the
second-worst winning percentage
in franchise history.
With Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash
and Pau Gasol sitting out large
chunks of the season while the
Lakers lost an NBA-worst 319 man-
games to injuries, the 16-time NBA
champion franchise missed the
playoffs for the rst time in nine
seasons.
Given the circumstances, I dont
know that anybody could have done
a better job than Mike did the past
two seasons, Lakers general man-
ager Mitch Kupchak said. On be-
half of the Lakers, we thank Mike
for the work ethic, professionalism
and positive attitude that he brought
to the team every day.

Falcons
as a freshman to become
a catcher. These days,
Webb is one of the best
athletes on the team and
one of the top receivers in
the area.
When I rst started
out, I probably weighed
120 pounds, Webb said.
It started during the
summer of my ninth-
grade year. That is when
I realized I had to put in
work. ... I fell in love with
it, so I said I am going to
go out every day and do
this and do that.
Webb and Columbus
(21-6) will try to win
their second playoff se-
ries starting at 6 tonight
when they take on Clinton
in Game 1 of the best-of-
three Mississippi High
School Activities Asso-
ciation Class 6A North
State playoffs. Game 2
will be at 6 p.m. Friday in
Columbus. The if-needed
game would be Saturday
in Clinton.
Numbers tell only part
of the story of Webbs mat-
uration. He had only one
hit in 13 games as a fresh-
man. As a sophomore,
Webb hit .190 with eight
hits and three RBIs. He in-
creased his batting aver-
age to .267 as a junior and
had 16 hits and nine RBIs.
This year, Webb has come
into his own, hitting .413,
which is the second-best
mark on the team to rst
baseman/pitcher Chris
McCullough among reg-
ulars. Webb leads the
team with 28 runs and 28
stolen bases, is tied with
McCullough for the team
lead in hits (31), and is
third with seven doubles,
and fourth with 19 RBIs.
In addition to his mat-
uration as a hitter, Webb
has honed his catching
skills. Cook credits for-
mer assistant coach Greg
Dees, who is now the
head coach at Raymond
High, for working with
Webb and helping him to
grow to enjoy playing the
position.
Webb said the enjoy-
ment he gets playing
catcher has grown into
something more because
he appreciates and under-
stands how a catcher can
control a game.
The rst day (he
played catcher) I had a
bruised thumb and it was
hard. I wanted to cry and
no, I didnt like it, Webb
said. But it was a spot, so
I had to take care of it.
Cook said Webb re-
cently received a scholar-
ship offer to play baseball
from Coahoma Communi-
ty College. He said Webb
has two other schools that
are interested in him. He
hopes Webb gets a chance
to continue his baseball
career because he has
been so impressed by
how hard he has worked
to get better in every fac-
et of the game and in the
classroom.
We kind of had a heart-
to-heart talk with him
back in the 10th grade,
Cook said. We told him
he had a chance to get out
and to improve his situ-
ation. (We told him) it is
time to grow up. I think he
took the challenge. Coach
Dees, who was a catcher
in college, was a big inu-
ence. He was able to get
a lot of one-on-one time
with him, and he really
grew that summer after
his sophomore year.
He has been stel-
lar behind the plate this
year. He has caught ve
no-hitters this year. He
has been one of the main
reasons back there.
He has grown so much.
I am really, really proud of
him.
Cook said Webb has
kept a great personali-
ty and a big smile on his
face all of the time even
through all of the days he
was tough on him. Cook
said he saw the potential
Webb had to play the posi-
tion and he wanted to stay
on him to motivate him to
realize his potential.
Looking back, Cook
said Webb probably could
have started at second
base as a freshman, but
he knew the team had a
bigger need at catcher,
so he opted to use Webbs
athleticism there.
He has made us a
good pitching team be-
cause our guys know they
can throw one in the dirt
or bounce an 0-2 curve-
ball and he will be able
to block it and make the
play, Cook said.
Webb never thought
he would hear a coach say
that about his catching
skills. Cooks comment
shows how far Webb has
come from earlier in his
career when you never
knew if Webb was going
to block a ball or throw a
runner out.
Trojans
to have your name across
the nation and letting
coaches see you will be a
good experience.
New Hope High base-
ball coach Lee Boyd rec-
ommended Stillman for
the tryout. At the event,
tryout organizers made
tapes of the players to
evaluate them. After
pitching and playing well,
Stillman said it took a cou-
ple of days after the event
to get a phone call inform-
ing him he had been se-
lected to participate in the
regional tournament.
They had profession-
al scouts there and guys
who have played profes-
sionally, Stillman said.
The best thing about it
was you an unbiased eval-
uation on what kind of
player you are. It was neat
to go and do that to see
where I stand compared
to the rest of the high-
school students around
the nation.
I thought I did well. I
thought it was one of my
best days as far as pitch-
ing in front of coaches. I
was pretty on.
Boyd said he recom-
mended several players
and believed attending
the tryout would be a
good chance to increase
his exposure and an op-
portunity to get selected
to the team.
Josh is a good player.
He has improved dras-
tically, Boyd said. We
thought he was going
to be a good player for
us this year, and he has
been.
Boyd said Stillman
started to swing the bat
well at the end of last
season when the team
was in the stretch run of
its march to the Class 5A
state title. With the grad-
uation of pitcher/inelder
Landon Boyd, who went
on to play at Northeast
Mississippi Community
College, coach Boyd felt
Stillman could play a big-
ger role, especially as a
member of the pitching
rotation. Stillman has
rewarded Boyds con-
dence by joining seniors
J.C. Redden and Taylor
Stafford as the teams pri-
mary starting pitchers.
New Hope (24-3) will
count on those three play-
ers at 6 tonight when it
begins defense of its state
championship against
Center Hill in Game 1 of
their best-of-three Class
5A North State playoff se-
ries. Game 2 will be at 6
p.m. Friday. The if-need-
ed game will be at 4 p.m.
Saturday in Columbus.
For Stillman, the play-
offs is another chance to
show he can perform at a
high level. In the regular
season, Stillman, a right-
hander, was 6-0 with a
1.39 ERA in eight games.
In 35 1/3 innings, he al-
lowed 24 hits and nine
walks. He struck out 47
and had two complete
games. He also is hitting
.293 with 22 hits (tied for
fth on the team), 21 RBIs
(tied for third), and two
doubles.
Boyd recalls being
impressed with Stillman
after watching him pitch
in the Golden Triangle
World Series. He said
Stillman worked hard last
year and this year and
has developed into a solid
pitcher. He also is versa-
tile enough he can play in
the outeld and at third
base.
Boyd said the chance
to play on the Under Ar-
mour team in the tour-
nament in California will
give Stillman a chance to
gauge his talents against
players from across the
country. Before that,
though, Boyd hopes Still-
man can continue to de-
liver for the Trojans. New
Hope practiced Friday af-
ter beating West Lauder-
dale 4-2 on Thursday. He
planned to have the team
practice Sunday, but rain
spoiled that plan.
The team came back
Monday and swung the
bats in the batting cage
before it had to put the
tarp on the eld to protect
it from the bad weather
the past dew days. On
Wednesday, the team re-
turned to practice and
hoped to get a lot of repeti-
tions in. The Trojans also
will try to get some more
repetitions in today before
schools gets out to pre-
pare them for a journey
in which they will wear a
bulls eye on their backs.
They get tired of me
preaching to them about
it, Boyd said. Like I said
a minute ago, people start
telling you that youre
good an you listen, were
in trouble. Anytime you
quit working or think you
are good in any sport you
play you tend to be at your
most vulnerable point.
Boyd referred back to
the PowerPoint presenta-
tion he gave to the team
at the beginning of the
season that said teams
repeat 17-18 percent of
the time. Thats why he
chose to call his team the
underdogs in disguise
as they began their run.
The mentality appeared
to hold true, as the New
Hope lost only one game
en route to the Class 5A,
Region 2 title. A year ago,
New Hope nished sec-
ond to Oxford. This year,
a bye has given New Hope
a week to get its rotation
in line for another run to
a championship. While
Boyd would have loved
to have had more time to
practice earlier this week,
he said he and the Trojans
are eager to get things
started.
We do have a solid
team, Boyd said. Thats
not being cocky. I real-
ly think we have a good
team. If we play well, I
think we will have a shot
to beat a lot of teams.
But you have to play the
game. I have been a part
of teams a lot of places
here and other places
when I have felt we were
not as good and we won
the series.

Im writing
to support
Feeling Coerced
in San Diego
(Feb. 14), who is
uncomfortable
attending church
with her husband.
I understand her
feelings because
I, too, am an
atheist in a
relationship with a
religious man.
There is
another option
besides abstain-
ing from church
or attending only on major
holidays, and that would be for
Coerced and her husband
to try a different church. One
religion that embraces atheist
church members is Unitarian
Universalism.
UU congregations are often
made up of people from differ-
ent backgrounds Christian,
Jewish, atheist and more. The
focus of the sermons is on
living a good life, treating other
people and our planet with re-
spect, and following ones own
path to spiritual enlightenment.
Its likely that Coerced and
her husband could both feel
at home in such
a congregation.
CHELSEA IN
WICHITA
DEAR CHEL-
SEA: Thank you
for your sug-
gestion its
one that was
echoed by many
other readers. I
have mentioned
the Unitarian
Universalist
denomination and
its website (uua.
org) before in my
column. Readers
comments were
enlightening:
DEAR ABBY: I, too, am in a
mixed marriage. Im religious
and my husband is an atheist.
We agree to disagree on the
matter. Religion (or lack of it)
is a very personal thing, and
however we feel, we owe each
other respect for our different
views.
Coerced is great for trying
to accommodate her husband,
but now that they see it didnt
work, he should stop pressuring
her. She can refrain from going
to services, but should consider
attending the churchs social
events. This solution worked
well for us. My husband and my
church friends get along well.
Of course, this depends on
the nature of the church. Mine
happens to be one of the more
progressive. Its worth a try.
KATHRYN IN OTTAWA, CANADA
DEAR ABBY: Coerced
is lucky to have a man who
attends church and wants her
to go, too. She might consider
helping in the nursery. That
way, shes there with him but
doesnt have to listen to the
message. Churches are always
looking for help so parents can
actually attend the service.

Horoscopes
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May
1). Your birthday wishes
have real power. An inux of
resources and relationships
will start your year off right.
Youll lean on your strengths in
June and team with someone
with a complementary talent.
Youll get the chance to prove
your value to an organization in
June. A special relationship will
keep you entertained in July.
Gemini and Aries people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are:
12, 22, 31, 49 and 25.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Imbalances will be righted,
though not immediately. It will
take time for equilibrium to
settle in, but eventually the
excess in one area will ow into
the emptiness in another, and
all will even out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You possess a combination of
characteristics that keep your
love interested, though you
might not realize exactly what
they are. Youll be slightly more
self-aware now.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Instead of trying to gure out
where you went wrong, ask for
help. Others saw the mistake.
By asking for help, youll save
yourself time and improve your
strategy in one fell swoop.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Its better to do more with your
presentation than risk being
under-prepared or, worse, un-
derdressed. An attitude thats
too casual will send the wrong
message.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
One way to test the water is to
dip a toe in. Another is to ask
the people who are already
swimming. Your way will be to
dive in. Someone has to be the
leader. Youre good at it, so why
shouldnt it be you?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
If you feel vaguely threatened
by the others in the room, take
that as a good sign. Youll do
your best when theres competi-
tion for the prize you want.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
In some way, youll have to vote
for yourself. Never mind that
its an awkward position. Take a
stand for yourself. If you dont,
you cant expect anyone else to
adopt your cause.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Take a lead from the giant
tortoise, who can live far past
100 years. Whether in work,
relationships or life in general,
longevity has something to do
with slowing down.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Try not to be offend-
ed by what people say or do out
of jealousy. If you can separate
your ego from the situation,
youll see that their reaction is
actually enormously attering.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Your agreement and
approval can be like a chip that
people around you feel they
have to earn. Given your current
compassionate mood, you
wont want to make them work
too hard for this.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Artistic inclinations will
be highlighted today, and it will
give you a certain pleasure to
create a striking visual with
your work, environment or pres-
ence. Youll make people think.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). You want to agree with
someone you like; however, if
you listen very closely, youll
probably nd that you cant
wholeheartedly sign off on it.
Youre not of the same mind, so
speak up.
Dear Abby
MSU
not catch the ball well tonight,
Cohen said. It was absolute lit-
tle league stuff when a guy gets
on rst base and a guy cant
catch a ball thats thrown in the
air to you.
Wednesday marked the rst
time Cohen has made a defen-
sive substitution in the middle
of an inning this season as MSU
ha failed to nd a consistent
catching option defensively in
the 2014 season.
Lindgren has power stuff
but I dont know at all what hap-
pened but when you cant catch
balls in the air, you are not go-
ing to win baseball games, Co-
hen said. When the other team
executes, thats one thing but
this is elementary stuff thats
going on tonight.
Jacksonville State (24-19),
who was led by former MSU
assistant coach Jim Case, used
small ball to plate the game-win-
ning run as designated hitter/
pitcher Ryan Sebra executed a
sacrice bunt to give the Game-
cocks the nal advantage.
The victory was Jacksonville
States rst ever against the
Bulldogs program after receiv-
ing 11 straight defeats. Since
2005, JSU had earned only four
victories against SEC programs
(two vs. Auburn in 2011 and
2013; two vs. Georgia in 2009).
Lucas Laster went seven
innings to give MSU a quality
start on the mound but the left-
hander took the no decision
after failing to surrender an
earned run in his 87-pitch ef-
fort.
I think I struggled to nd
my release point tonight early
on but once I did, I felt like I had
all three of my pitches working
perfectly, Laster said.
JSU junior Travis Stout
picked up his 10th save of the
season by picking up two strike-
outs in the ninth inning against
MSU seniors Brett Pirtle and
Wes Rea. The only salvaging
element to MSUs offensive ef-
fort Wednesday was the one
swing of the bat by Alex Detz.
The senior that came in hitting
.233 tied for the team lead with
his third home run to give MSU
a 1-0 lead. From the third in-
ning to Detzs at-bat in the 7th,
MSU failed to get a base hit and
had only three base runners.
The Bulldogs were 0 for 9 with
runners on base Wednesday
and had 12 y outs. Take away
Detzs performance and the
fourth-year players in MSUs
lineup (C.T. Bradford, Wes Rea,
Pirtle and Demarcus Hender-
son) were a collective 1 for 12
with four strikeouts.
The eight total strikeouts
tonight are disappointing but I
thought we hit a bunch of balls
hard and sometimes you have
to make things happen, Cohen
said. We have to have some
older guys step forward and do
some things for this club right
now that theyre simply not do-
ing.
The loss represents four
defeats at Dudy Noble Field to
teams outside the Top 100 in
the latest ratings percentage in-
dex. MSU has now scored less
than three runs in 10 games
this season and have now lost
two games in which theyve
held the opponent to no more
than two runs.
Its hard to get mad at a C.T.
Bradford who smokes three
balls tonight right at a defend-
er, Cohen said. We hit balls
hard and didnt get hits tonight.
The key was we didnt decide
to catch baseball for whatever
reason.
The Bulldogs came to the
ballpark hitting just .275 as a
team, the second lowest aver-
age for the program since 1994,
the year most of the freshmen
on the team were born.
MSU will have one practice
day before traveling to Auburn
for a critical series between two
NCAA bubble programs as the
Tigers (25-20, 9-12 in SEC) sit
just one spot behind MSU at
No. 42 in the latest RPI.
Game times are set for 6 p.m.
Friday, 6 p.m. Saturday (CSS )
and 1 p.m. Sunday.
MSU then closes its confer-
ence schedule by playing host
to Tennessee and traveling to
Alabama.

suance Ref. No. 1680-00008.
The applicant's operations fall
within SIC Code 3251. A State-
ment of Basis has been pre-
pared that contains a discussion
of decision-making that went
into the development of the per-
mit and to provide the permitting
authority, the public, and other
government bodies a record of
the technical issues surrounding
issuance of the permit. The
Statement of Basis also ad-
dresses any changes to emis-
sions and/or discharges result-
ing from any modification of the
facility.
This is an existing brick manu-
facturing facility. They are apply-
ing for re-issuance of a Title V
Operating Permit. A Title V Oper-
ating Permit is a permit that is
required by Title V of the Federal
Clean Air Act and the Mississippi

The staff of the Permit Board
has developed this draft permit
based on information submitted
to the Permit Board by the appli-
cant, appropriate State and Fed-
eral agencies and other interest-
ed parties. The staff of the Per-
mit Board is soliciting all relative
information pertaining to the pro-
posed activity, including public
comment, to ensure that the fi-
nal staff recommendation on the
draft permit complies with all
State and Federal regulations.
Public review and comment on
the draft permit and supporting
documentation is an important
element in the staff evaluation
and resulting recommendation
to the Permit Board. The draft
permit conditions have been de-
veloped to ensure compliance
with all State and Federal regula-
tions but are subject to change
based on information received
as a result of public participa-
tion.
Persons wishing to comment
upon or object to the proposed
determinations are invited to
submit comments in writing to
Tim Parrish at the Permit Board-
's address shown above, no lat-
er than May 31, 2014. All com-
ments received by this date will
be considered in the formulation
of final determinations regarding
the application(s). A public hear-
ing will be held if the Permit
Board finds a significant degree
of public interest in the pro-
posed permit(s). The Permit
Board is limited in the scope of
its analysis to environmental im-
pact. Any comments relative to
zoning or economic and social
impacts are within the jurisdic-
tion of local zoning and planning
authorities and should be ad-
dressed to them.
After receipt of public comments
and thorough consideration of
all comments, the staff will for-
mulate its recommendations for
permit issuance and a proposed
permit if that is the recommen-
dation. The Title V Permit to Op-
erate is a permit that is required
by Title V of the Federal Clean
Air Act and the Mississippi Air
and Water Pollution Control Law.
The Title V permit is a Federally-
enforceable permit as well as a
State permit. Therefore, the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) will also be allowed
an opportunity to review the ap-
plication, proposed permit, and
all comments received during
the public comment period prior
to Permit Board action on the
application.
EPA has agreed to treat this
draft permit as a proposed per-
mit and to perform its 45-day re-
view provided by the law and reg-
ulations concurrently with the
public notice period, as long as
no public comments are re-
ceived within the 30-day public
notice period. If comments are
received, EPA's 45-day review
period will cease to be per-
formed concurrently with the
public notice period. EPA's 45-
day review period will start once
the public notice period has
been completed and EPA re-
ceives notification from the Mis-
sissippi Department of Environ-
mental Quality that comments
($5,000,000).

of the provisions of this resolu-

gality or invalidity shall not affect

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)

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

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
injunction herein does not apply
to the Litigation Trust and the
United States, which are provid-
ing releases and covenants not
to sue in the Settlement Agree-
ment.

PURSUANT TO THE MOTION
FILED WITH THE COURT:
THE DEADLINE TO FILE OBJEC-
TIONS TO THE TRONOX SETTLE-
MENT AGREEMENT IS MAY 15,
2014, AT 4:00 P.M. EASTERN
A HEARING ON THE MOTION
(AND ANY OBJECTIONS TIMELY
FILED) HAS BEEN SCHEDULED
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
Settlement Proceeds to be allo-
cated and distributed to the Liti-
gation Trust Beneficiaries con-
sistent with the LTA. The Litiga-
tion Trust succeeded to, as of
and after the Plan Effective
Date, any and all claims against
the Anadarko Released Parties
related to the claims, issues
and subject matter of the Adver-
sary Proceeding which were
held, owned and/or controlled
by one or more Debtors before
the Plan Effective Date. Since
the Plan Effective Date, the Liti-
gation Trust has not sold, as-
signed, transferred, encum-
bered, hypothecated, aban-
doned, conveyed or otherwise
disposed of any claims received
by the Litigation Trust from
Debtors pursuant to the Plan.
