Flooding closes roads as river rises BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian
PICKWICK DAM, Tenn. — Some roads could remain closed for more than a week in Hardin County due to flooding from recent heavy rains. The rain has stopped for now and the Tennessee River has now crested, according to the TVA. The floodwaters around the Tennessee River had reached 383 feet above sea level before the water level began to return to normal. TVA reported that the 383-foot-crest was five feet shy of the level that marks a major flood stage. This 383 feet level is the highest the river has reached in Savannah since December 2004. Just in the month of December, the Tennessee River watershed has received nearly two times the amount of rain the area normally would get in
Dec. and nearly three times the runoff. Pickwick Dam is releasing over two million gallons of water per second to help prevent any flooding in Hardin County. The Tennessee Valley Authority opened the flood gates on all of its nine mainstream dams on the Tennessee River earlier this week. TVA made the decision after almost a foot of rainfall in parts of the Tennessee Valley over the past week put the river above flood stage in parts of northern Alabama. TVA stayed in flood control mode this week working in tandem with the Army Corps of Engineers, which is in charge of managing other river systems and dams in the Tennessee Valley.

It was one of the newsiest of years. That much was clear as the news staff reflected on 2015 to present the annual “top 10 stories of the year” list. Thinking back on 35 years in newspapers, Editor Mark Boehler said he could recall no year, in terms of local news, that outdid 2015 in Corinth. “As I filled out my ballot with 14 choices for the top 10 stories, I realized numbers 11 through 14 could be a top-five story in any other year,” he said. “2015 will be remembered for me as I spent Easter Sunday, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on duty gathering news for death, tragedy and mayhem stories.” Considering factors such as lasting impact and community reaction, the vote resulted in a clear top three, with opinions varying on placement of the rest. And the top 10 are:
A massive shootout in April
Mrs. Smith is going to Kosciusko. Alcorn School District board member Russ Nash confirmed Wednesday current school superintendent Gina Rogers Smith has accepted the superintendent position with the Kosciusko School District. “Gina has done a wonderful job for our school district the Smith past four years,” said Nash. “She helped get the district out of the red and into the black financially and helped improve the overall district state rating.” Nash said Smith should be credited for helping the district add new technology. “I don’t think we would be where we are now with the upcoming implementation of wireless and new network infrastructure install without Gina’s help,” added Nash.

Coast Guard issues high water advisory for lower Mississippi Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard has issued a high water safety advisory for a section of the lower Mississippi River and is asking the general public to stay off the fastmoving, rising waters. Thursday’s advisory by Capt. Timothy Wendt extends from the Ca-
ruthersville, Missouri, area to Natchez. It says the general public should stay off the river because of high flows and significant debris in the water. Rivers and streams in the Midwest have been pushed to heights not seen in nearly a quartercentury after more than
10 inches of rain fell this week in a wide swath from central Illinois through southwest Missouri. Louisiana and Mississippi officials are monitoring the rising waters as they move south. The Coast Guard said the advisory is expected to remain in effect for several weeks.
Crawfish abundant early, prices down Associated Press
PASCAGOULA — Mississippi crawfish are plentiful early in the season and prices are down. Keith Delcambre, owner of Bozo’s Seafood Market in Pascagoula, tells The Sun Herald his price per pound is $1.30 lower than it was when the season started in mid-November. Live, they were $2.80 a pound at his store Tuesday. Boiled, they were $3.59. Elsewhere on the Coast, the average is $3.23 per pound live and $4.25 boiled -$4.09 if you buy more
than 10 pounds. Delcambre predicts the price will stay down through most of January, barring a major freeze, then jump at the end of the month with the demand that comes with the Super Bowl on Feb. 7, and Mardi Gras on Feb. 9. But even that kind of demand may not affect the price much, said longtime crawfish distributor Kevin Kidder with St. Martin Seafood Inc. of Breaux Bridge, La. He supplies seafood for markets all along the Gulf Coast.
“Crawfish caught good early this year,” he said. That means they came out of the ground and entered the traps. Colder weather means they stay in the ground and eat less. “We had mild weather and plenty of rain,” he said, “so production was good.” Kidder said it would take a hard freeze of four to five days to affect production. He predicts mild weather will keep prices down even for the Super Bowl, one of the top crawfish-boiling days of the year.
gency Management Agency director for Hardin County, said the floodwaters around the Tennessee River are expected to crest Wednesday or Thursday at 383 feet above sea level. The expected level would be slightly less than the 388 feet that marks a major flood stage. According to
Martin, this is the highest level the river has reached in Savannah since December 2004. Martin said Monday afternoon that no rescues or evacuations have been necessary in the area. Some roads will be closed for more than a week, Martin said.

New laws: Trooper pay, hospital finance, judges Associated Press
JACKSON — A new law taking effect with the new year is designed to bring more transparency to financial operations of publicly owned hospitals in Mississippi. Senate Bill 2407 , which was filed in response to pension problems at Singing River Hospital in Pascagoula, requires boards of community hospitals to keep most of their meetings open to the public. The boards can hold closed meetings to discuss patient information, competitive business matters or employment contracts for physicians and other workers. The new law also says that that by Jan. 1, community hospitals must create a website, or use an existing one, to post financial reports, audits, budgets and other docu-
ments related to how they spend public money. Problems with the Singing River pension existed for months before becoming publicly known, partly because the hospital board was meeting in private. Other new laws: ■ Judges: House Bill 703 creates four new circuit judgeships and three new chancery judgeships. The new judges were elected in November and take office in January. The new circuit judges are in the 12th District in Forrest and Perry counties; the 13th District in Covington, Jasper, Simpson and Smith counties; the 15th District in Jefferson Davis, Lamar, Lawrence, Marion and Pearl River counties; and the 20th District in Madison and Rankin counties. The new chancery judges are in the 4th District in
Amite, Franklin, Pike and Walthall counties; the 11th District in Holmes, Leake, Madison and Yazoo counties; and the 20th District in Rankin County. ■ Public safety salaries: Senate Bill 2500 provides pay raises for Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol troopers and Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agents, starting Jan. 1. ■ Coahoma County Schools: Senate Bill 2303 says the superintendent of Coahoma County schools is appointed, rather than elected, starting Jan. 1. ■ Holmes CountyDurant Schools: House Bill 572 says a commission studying possible consolidation of the Holmes County and Durant school districts is to report its findings by Jan. 1 to the governor, the Legislature and the state Board of Education.

3) Prison troubles In October, the Mississippi Department of Corrections pulls all state inmates from the regional prison after a multi-agency shakedown uncovers many problems, including abundant contraband. In an effort to get back the prisoners and the necessary revenue stream that is tied to housing them, the Board of Supervisors hires the sheriff-elect, Ben Caldwell, to immediately take over management. For different reasons, prison troubles also made last year’s top 10.
4) Icy storms The early months of 2015 brought a succession of winter storms, including an ice storm that left about 2,500 without power. A few days later, a freezing rain-slickened portion of U.S. Highway 72 causes an 18-wheeler to jackknife and hit pedestrians who had exited their vehicles after prior accidents, killing two.
5) Dal Nelms’ second arrest In perhaps the most bizarre news of the year, Dal Nelms, while still serving as Second District super-
visor, steals cash from a money bag at a Corinth auto parts store where police said he posed as an employee. Police charge him with grand larceny.
6) Inmate labor Essential to both local governments and groups like the animal shelter, the once-reliable pool of inmate labor was in a state of uncertainty for much of the year as MDOC ended the joint work program and then closed the Alcorn Community Work Center. The county was offered the opportunity to continue receiving inmate laborers but without reimbursement for housing them — another blow to the county’s finances.
7) County election With the election of Larry B. Mitchell, voters end the tenure of a second consecutive county superintendent of education, Gina Rogers Smith, after one term. The Board of Supervisors gets two new members, James Voyles in the Second District and Steve Glidewell in the Fourth District, where Gary Ross loses a reelection bid. Ben Caldwell
wins a crowded sheriff’s race.
8) Double murder The bodies of Archie Wayne Williams and Jeanette Martha Gray are found at a residence on County Road 171 in the Rock Hill area. Michael Lee Meeks of County Road 332 is charged with two counts of capital murder.
9) Old Moses The “old Moses” building went out in a big way with one of the largest Corinth fires in recent memory. Cleanup of what’s left becomes a community concern.
10) Police officer shot Corinth police officer Kevin Parker Jr., while pursuing a suspect, is shot. Officials credit the bulletproof vest with saving his life. Others just outside the top 10 are the springlike weather of Christmas week, the shootout at the Iuka Walmart, the bankruptcy and sale of the SportsPlex, and the Christmas Eve plane crash.
SMITH CONTINUED FROM 1A
After serving one, fouryear term as superintendent of the 11-campus county school district, Smith was defeated by long time Kossuth High School principal Larry
B. Mitchell in the August primary election. Smith, a former Biggersville Elementary School principal and 17year veteran of the Alcorn School District, will leave the elected position in Alcorn County for the ap-
pointed position in Kosciusko and Attala County in the Mississippi Delta. “On behalf of the school board, we want to wish Gina the best of luck in her new position,” said Nash. “Thank you for everything you have done to help make Alcorn School District better.” Mitchell was sworn into his new position on Wednesday and will take office on Jan. 4.

Today is Friday, Jan. 1, the first day of leap year 2016. There are 365 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring that slaves in rebel states shall be “forever free.”
On this date: In 1913, the U.S. Parcel Post system went into operation. In 1935, The Associated Press inaugurated Wirephoto, the first successful service for transmitting photographs by wire to member newspapers. In 1945, France was admitted to the United Nations. In 1953, country singer Hank Williams Sr., 29, was discovered dead in the back seat of his car during a stop in Oak Hill, West Virginia, while he was being driven to a concert date in Canton, Ohio. In 1959, Fidel Castro and his revolutionaries overthrew Cuban leader Fulgencio Batista, who fled to the Dominican Republic. In 1975, a jury in Washington found Nixon administration officials John N. Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, John D. Ehrlichman and Robert C. Mardian guilty of charges related to the Watergate cover-up (Mardian’s conviction for conspiracy was later overturned on appeal). In 1979, the United States and China held celebrations in Washington and Beijing to mark the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. In 1984, the breakup of AT&T took place as the telecommunications giant was divested of its 22 Bell System companies under terms of an antitrust agreement. In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect. In 1995, the World Trade Organization (WTO) came into being, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Sweden, Finland and Austria joined the European Union. In 2014, the nation’s first legal recreational pot shops opened in Colorado at 8 a.m. Mountain time.
One year ago: Mario Cuomo, 82, a leading liberal voice who served three terms as governor of New York, died just hours after his son Andrew began his second term as the state’s chief executive.
Across the Region Prentiss supervisors to set special election BOONEVILLE — Prentiss County Supervisors will begin the new year by setting a special election for Justice Court Judge North. The position will become vacant when county officials begin their new terms during a swearing-in ceremony set for Monday morning, Jan. 4 and the agenda for the board of supervisor’s first meeting, set for that same morning at 10 a.m., includes action on the post. Former Justice Court Judge North Debra Hall Moore stepped down from the post on June 30 and her husband, Trent Moore, was appointed to fill the position. Debra Moore had originally qualified to run for reelection in the 2015 county elections, and was the lone candidate to qualify prior to the qualifying deadline. She withdrew from the race on April 2, leaving no candidate on the ballot. An attorney general’s opinion issued at the request of the county stated qualifying could not reopen and instead the position would have to be declared vacant when new terms begin in January. Chancery Clerk Bubba Pounds said the board will make the declaration of vacancy during their Monday meeting and will request that the county election commission set the special election coincide with the regular general election in November. The board will also have to reappoint someone to fill the post until the special election. Qualifying to run for the post will begin immediately after the election is set and will continue through Friday, Sept. 9 at 5 p.m., explained Circuit Clerk Mike Kelley. Candidates will qualify by filing a petition with the circuit clerk’s office. The special election is nonpartisan, meaning all candidates will run as independents instead of declaring a political party affiliation.
McNairy issues same-sex wedding license SELMER, Tenn. — The firstever same-sex marriage license for a couple was recently issued in McNairy County. This license was sold to two men from Hardin County. McNairy County Court Clerk Ronnie Price said the couple came to his office to get the license on Friday, Dec. 11. Jimmy Beckham and Robert Blaylock got the license and were married at Wayne Jerrolds River Park in Savannah the following day. Price said a marriage license cost $97.50. The couple can reduce that charge by $60 if they undergo pre-marital counseling by either a preacher or a marriage professional. He said most just pay the $97.50 fee. The majority of that fee goes to the state of Tennessee. When the law changed to allow gay marriage in Tennessee, Price made the decision to not perform any marriage ceremonies in the future. Tennessee law allows any judge, county court clerk, mayor, or county commissioner to officiate at a wedding in the state.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Black smoke billowed from the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. on Saturday, Dec. 26 as an emergency crew responded to fire calls. In addition to heavy smoke which could be seen from I-565, flames could also be seen leaping up at a building near the display shuttle. According ton USSRC spokesman Tim Hall, the structure is a Mission to Mars simulation building which was set to be renovated within the next few years. No one was inside the building which had not been used in 10 to 12 years. Nothing else was impacted apart from the periphery older building and patrons were allowed to return to the museum shortly thereafter.
No-refusal law to be enforced in Hardin County HARDIN COUNTY, Tenn. — Drivers suspected of being under the influence in Hardin County during the holiday weekend will find themselves subject to the state’s “no-refusal” traffic enforcement. The no-refusal enforcement allows officers to seek search warrants for blood samples in cases involving suspected impaired drivers, according to a release from the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security. The Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting no-refusal campaigns in one county in each of the state’s eight THP districts. Hardin County was chosen in the Jackson district. The New Year’s Eve holiday period begins at 12:01 a.m. Thursday and ends at 11:59 p.m. Monday. State troopers will perform saturation patrols, seat belt, sobriety and driver’s license checkpoints as well as bar/tavern checks during the holiday. During last year’s New Year’s holiday period, nine people were killed in nine traffic crashes on Tennessee roadways, according to the release. Of the nine vehicular fatalities, eight were vehicle occupants and one was a pedestrian. Alcohol was involved in three of the traffic deaths, while four of the eight vehicle occupants killed were not wearing seat belts. State troopers have arrested 7,726 individuals for alcoholimpaired driving from Jan. 1 through Dec. 28, 2015. In 2014, the number of arrests made during that time was 8,330. All of Tennessee’s 95 counties will have troopers working to ensure a safe holiday.

Along with this change, patrol cars will be equipped with chargers to allow a longer battery life. The videos made by the officers will now be retained for at least one year. The training will be done by the Columbus Police Department once a year
Hospital to add 2 new helicopters TUPELO — The North Mississippi Medical Center announced Tuesday afternoon the addition of two new helicopters to service both the Golden Triangle area and Winona. They say that although, North Mississippi Medical Center is sponsoring the service, they will transport patients to the hospitals in the other regions as well. That will give the hospital three helicopters in North Mississippi. “Whatever’s best for the patients. Certain persons have certain conditions or injuries that would better be served at a Level One trauma center or a specialized pediatric center,” said Jim Spruiell, a pilot with the hospital. “Level One provides the most abundant resources, medical care available. The only Level One trauma center in the state is in Jackson at university,” replied Dr. John Rousey. The hospital is joining forces with a company called Air Methods which provides air service at North Mississippi Medical in Tupelo.
Falkner clinic offers flu shots to procrastinators FALKNER — Those who have not yet received a flu shot may visit the Melinda Quinn at the Family Clinic of Falkner during regular business hours. Sponsored by Tippah County News, the clinic is offering flu prevention shots in response to temperatures plummeting from 80 to 20 degrees in one week, creating conditions for a bad cold and flu month in January. The cost to recieve the vaccination is $30, but is reimbursed by most insurance companies. Walk-ins and non-clinic patients are welcome.
Woman charged in high speed chase SALTILLO — A Saltillo woman faces charges following a high speed chase through parts of Lee County Monday night. Sheriff Jim Johnson says a deputy noticed erratic driving and began following a vehicle around 9:50 near Lake Piomingo. He says a check of the license plate showed the tag was registered to another vehicle and the deputy attempted to make a traffic stop. The driver sped away and led the deputy on a pursuit that ended in the Richmond Community. Courtney Reed, 22, is charged with felony fleeing and is currently in the Lee County Adult Detention Center.

Officials considering central 911 office STARKVILLE — A delay in purchasing new 911 equipment for the Oktibbeha County Emergency Management Association could provide time for the county and Starkville leaders to explore creating a central dispatching call center. County Supervisors John Montgomery and Orlando Trainer and incoming Supervisor Bricklee Miller tell the Commercial Dispatch they’re willing to discuss a joint venture that could create a 911 operation either in the county education building or in the Starkville Police Department’s headquarters. Currently, the 911 center handles all calls in Oktibbeha County. Its dispatchers, however, then relay to Starkville police specific calls. Officials say a combined dispatching effort could eliminate the need for transfers. “For example, if someone calls 911 about a subject standing at Highway 182 and Jackson Street with a gun, we then have to call SPD. We more or less relay everything to them right now,” said OCEMA Director Shank Phelps. “We do all volunteer fire, sheriff’s department and ambulance calls right now. I don’t see a problem with doing it for the city, if our city and county leaders come to that agreement.” Phelps said officials have suggested the move since Starkville police has more space in its headquarters after the city’s administration moved to the new city hall at the end of Main Street. “I feel like we do need a central dispatch. One of these days, I feel we’ll take over those responsibilities. It’s coming, but it’s up to the board of supervisors and board of aldermen to decide that and how to put county departments in a city building,” he said. “We won’t just need space for 911; we’ll also need emergency management area, too. I don’t have a problem with it. No matter where we’re at, it’s my job to run this department to the best of its abilities.” The incoming board of supervisors is expected to address 911 equipment purchases next month.

Clinton hints at defeats in Iowa, New Hampshire BY DICK MORRIS Columnist
On the heels of polls showing Bernie Sanders chopping 15 points off Clinton’s lead in Iowa — narrowing her advantage to 50-45 — Hillary Clinton has sent out an email to her supporters today warning them to brace themselves for the chance that she might lose Iowa or New Hampshire. In a highly unusual email headlined “If We Lose Iowa Or New Hampshire”, Hillary Clinton speculates that she might meet defeat in the first two contests with Bernie Sanders. Urging her supporters to be “realistic” and warning that “winning the nomination is no sure thing,” she appeals for money to rev up her campaign. Anticipating the possibility — or likelihood — of one or two early defeats, she writes: “If we lose in Iowa or New Hampshire, we’re going to need to dig in and work that much harder to make sure we win the nomination. I’m going to fight as hard as I can to earn every last vote.” The stunning admission that Sanders might capture one or even both of the two earliest states is unprecedented. Sanders has always led in New Hampshire with realclearpolitics.com polling, on average showing him up by 51-43 over the last seven polls. But, in Iowa, once considered safe for Clinton, the only post-debate poll, by CNN, has her ahead by only 50-45, a dramatic comedown from the lead PPP found prior to the debate of 52-34. For Clinton to admit, this far in advance, that she might lose Iowa and/or New Hampshire, we can only speculate on what her private polls must be showing. After Iowa and New Hampshire on the nominating calendar come South Carolina, where Clinton can likely count on a firewall since African-Americans dominate the Democratic contest. Sanders has repeatedly trailed far behind Clinton there and among black voters. But then it is on to Nevada and the March 1 primaries. If Clinton limps into these states, having lost both New Hampshire and Iowa, she can be in real trouble. Since the modern primary system was created in 1972, only George McGovern in ‘72 and Bill Clinton in ‘92 has ever gotten the Democratic nomination after loosing both Iowa and New Hampshire. Nine times, the candidate who lost the first two states lost the nomination. Ominous implications for Hillary Clinton. (Dick Morris, former advisor to the Clinton administration, is a commentator and writer. He is also a columnist for the New York Post and The Hill. His wife, Eileen McGann is an attorney and consultant.)
Prayer for today Almighty God, lead me in the search for life. Teach me what is important and what is unimportant; what is false, and what is true. Remove the hindrances that keep me from the worthiest deeds, and grant that I may have the peace that comes with surrender of self to thy will. Amen.

State earns top marks in computing Mississippians know our “firsts” and “worsts” list all too well. As to worsts, we’re at the top or near the top in terms of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, poverty and illiteracy. Mississippi also ranks highly in terms of dependence on federal transfer payments and other economic indices. Although not official, I’d wager we rank pretty high on the lists for mosquito size, humidity and per capita possession of hand-held funeral home Jesus fans. In terms of “firsts” Mississippi does extremely well in terms of charitable giving, church attendance and frequency of prayer. Some know that Mississippi actually has a rather prodigious reputation in the field of rocket science thanks to NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County. Both at the federal and state level, Mississippi politicians got a lot of mileage out of the true claim that “if you want to go to the moon, you first have to go through Hancock County, Mississippi.” At Stennis, the primary original mission was to flight certify the first and second stages of the mammoth Saturn V rocket for the Apollo space missions. In
1969, Stennis-tested rocket stages carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin safely to Sid Salter the moon. L a t e r , Columnist S t e n n i s would in the 1970s be the test facility for the main engine for the space shuttle program. But the Stennis Space Center is another story for another day. What brought this history back to top of mind for me was a recent presentation by Trey Breckenridge, the director of the High Performance Computing Collaboratory at Mississippi State University. During that presentation, Breckenridge made the salient point that a modern smart phone – specifically, say, the Apple iPhone 6S, which I happen to have had in my shirt pocket that day – has more computing power than all of NASA had back in 1969 when “steely-eyed missile men” were putting Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon. Breckenridge’s presentation was on Mississippi’s national rank and prowess in supercomputing. He said a “supercomputer” is de-
fined as any computer that is “one of the fastest, most powerful computers in the world at any given point in time.” Okay, so what are “supercomputers” tasked with achieving? Breckenridge said “modeling and simulation of complex problems, and brute force calculations” in fields including astrophysics, molecular modeling, quantum mechanics, consumer product development, medical research and applications, national defense, aerospace and automotive engineering, energy exploration, financial services, and weather forecasting. Wonderful, I thought, but what does that have to do with Mississippi? Turns out, Mississippi ranks fourth in the nation in aggregate supercomputing, according to the TOP 500 list in 2015. Here’s the “top 10” states in order: California, Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, New York, New Mexico, and Arizona. Breckenridge also pointed out that Mississippi is home to two of the five U.S. Department of Defense Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRC) – and that almost 50 percent of the entire Defense Department’s
DSRC supercomputing power is located in Mississippi. Admittedly, I don’t know a TeraFLOPS from a back flip, but I can readily understand Breckenridge’s analogy about the 1969 computing capabilities at NASA versus the iPhone 6S smart phone in my pocket in 2015. I also know the difference in Mississippi being in the top five for poverty and illiteracy versus being the top five in the nation for supercomputing. Two thoughts readily come to mind. First, this type of technology creates jobs of the kind that Mississippi has long coveted. Second, if all of NASA’s computing power in 1969 when I was ten years old now fits in my shirt pocket, what marvels and advancements will one day fit in the shirt pockets of my grandchildren? Clearly, just as Mississippi played a role in the more traditional space races of the 1960s and 1970s, we have an intriguing role in this new technological race with global competitors.

Conservatives’ biographies show how history can move right Biography is one way in which people understand history. The beautifully written biographies of Franklin Roosevelt that rolled off the presses and rose in the bestseller lists in the 1950s and 1960s created a template in which the New Deal was central to American history. It was the culmination of what happened before the 1930s and the model for what should and would happen next. That model was undermined by the success of four-time Roosevelt voter Ronald Reagan, but the idea that every bigger government is beneficial and inevitable continues to be accepted by many on the left. Three biographies published over the last year, each by a British author with deep understanding of America, point in a different direction. They are Andrew Roberts’ “Napoleon: A Life,” Niall Ferguson’s “Kissinger: 1923-1968: The Idealist,” and the second of three volumes of Charles Moore’s authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher. Unlike FDR, all three subjects can, to varying degrees, be described as conservative. That characterization is more debatable

in the case of Napoleon, who rose from corporal to general to emperor in the wake Michael of the French Barone Revolution. But Roberts Columnist shows how Bonaparte tamed the French Revolution, with a whiff of grapeshot, clever political maneuvering and an astonishing mixture of energy and insight. Many Americans wouldn’t characterize Kissinger as a conservative, either, given his support of detente with the Soviet Union and opening to Communist China. But Ferguson shows how Kissinger, from his days as a sergeant in postwar Germany, tempered his severe analysis of facts on the ground with a fine appreciation of national histories and a conviction that idealism must undergird American foreign policy. Ferguson ends this first volume with Richard Nixon’s astonishing appointment of Kissinger as National Security Adviser. But Kissinger, deeply involved in Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson administra-
tion policymaking, had already developed not only trenchant critiques of their current policies, especially on Vietnam, but also impressive adroitness in bureaucratic infighting. About Margaret Thatcher no one would quibble with the label conservative, with a capital “C.” Moore’s first volume showed her beginnings as a partisan activist rather than intellectual critic and describes how her womanliness was central to the character and career of someone her opponents and critics considered a warrior. This second volume, shows once again that she was not as dogmatic a leader as many observers believed in the 1980s and as she herself suggested after being booted out of office in 1990. She compromised and temporized and took time to prepare for major policy changes and confrontations. All three of these more or less conservative leaders came from humble circumstances in provincial backwaters. The biographers show how their subjects bloomed at Saint-Cyr, France’s military academy, and at Oxford and Harvard. They show how quickly they built sophisticated views of

the world and of the nations they came to love. They show how they made their way upward in the tangle of politics and turmoil of unsettled times. Not all of their achievements proved lasting, but many of their achievements endure. The Napoleonic Code still governs Europe. Kissinger’s China policy, though attacked by many presidential candidates, remains in place for a fifth decade. Britain will never renationalize privatized industries or reverse private ownership of former public housing. In their biographies Roberts, Ferguson and Moore demonstrate that history does not move in just one direction. Gifted conservative-minded leaders from obscure backgrounds, such as Napoleon, Kissinger and Thatcher, can shift events from their apparent course as effectively as such liberals as Franklin Roosevelt.

‘The Long Short’ recalls housing market collapse The Long Short PG-13,****, Christin Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt. Director Adam McKay, 2 hours and 10 minutes. Unfortunately, very few people watched “The Long Short.” Two people were at the matinee. I was one of the two along with one other person. These kind of movies that are true and extremely sad remind of the situation that hurt so many people who lost a great deal of money
in that time period. It is a sad situation when people are trying to purchase a home as rich people Terry do very often, Burns and individuals stop their abiliMovie Critic ties to finish their homes because some people do not have the money to move forward with a
house. Mortgages begin to go upward, and individuals are unable to pay for their homes. As I said at the beginning of the film, there are so many people that were unable to pay the amounts which so many cannot afford as the debts go upward. The sad part of some people is that they care only for ballgames, actresses, actors, television programs, and other items that they do not try to help others in ways that could help
human beings that work hard to take care of their families. Those who are wanting more and more money bet against mortgages and against the housing companies. This is a movie that should be seen and thought out closely in order to help our friends and neighbors that definitely need our assistance. Lots of people lost their jobs, and others were misled as a result of people losing their cur-
rency. I wish people helped others in these kinds of situations especially as a result of a company causing this disaster to happen. The fraudulent system caused the situation to happen with mortgages that hurt working people. (Terry Burns is the movie critic for the Daily Corinthian. A four-star rating means excellent.)

In France, it is a song that eases the pain of parting with its words: “Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes frères, ce n’est qu’un au revoir” — or “Yes, we meet again, my brothers; this is a goodbye.” Although it may have been Burns who is rumored to have penned the words to the quintessential New Year’s Song “Auld Lang Syne”—which means “old long since”— it was bandleader Guy Lombardo who made it an enduring tradition. Lombardo and his group, the Royal Canadian Band, took the stage of the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City on New
Year’s Eve in 1929. Their performance was broadcast on CBS radio before midnight and NBC radio after midnight. Between broadcasts, Lombardo chose to have the band play an old Scottish folk song he had heard from Scottish immigrants in Ontario. Prior to Lombardo’s rendition, there were documented instances of the song being sung on New Year’s Eve, but it was not quite the tradition that it would become until after Lombardo’s band performed it. Lombardo and the Royal Canadians performed it every year in New York City until his death at 75 in 1977. In fact, the band continued to perform it for two more years following Lombardo’s death. Their competitor for holiday viewing was Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, which popular with younger audiences
Mule teaches lessons for life BY JIMMY REED Columnist
Additional 10% off Friday and Saturday
William Faulkner observed, “A mule will labor willingly and patiently for you for ten years for the privilege of kicking you once.” The great writer theorized that vindictiveness is as common among these unmannered ungulates as their derisive bray. One fine spring day on my father’s Mississippi Delta Farm, my pal Earl and I learned all about the vindictiveness of mules. “Y’all don’t fool with Jezebel while I’m gone,” Jaybird, my boyhood best friend and mentor said. He had dealt with mules all his life, and knew that, far from being dumb as most folks thought, mules are as smart as they are mean and malicious. “That mule hates everybody ’cep me,” Jaybird said. “She’s meaner than a rattlesnake, and nothing pleases her more than hurtin’ the creatures she
hates most: people.” No sooner had Jaybird’s old truck pulled away from the barn than we grabbed the bridle. The giant hee-haw hybrid took the bit without complaint. “Let’s ride to Mr. Guido’s and chunk rocks at turtles in the creek that runs through his place,” Earl suggested, as he slapped leather on withers. “Git up, dumb jack — this ain’t Jaybird riding you now.” Jezebel’s long, laid-back ears signified she was in mule murder mode. Shifting gears, our mount clippity-clopped from walk to trot to canter to all-out gallop. Together we didn’t weigh 150 pounds – no burden at all for the powerful animal – as her pace increased. With the wind in our faces, we whooped with glee. But there was one problem. Riding bare-backed, we were slowly inching
forward and had nothing to grab hold of, Jezebel’s mane being neatly trimmed. Suddenly, Earl’s legs slipped over the mule’s shoulders and down her long neck he slid. Earl’s weight drove Jezebel’s nose into the ground, which smarted mightily, instantly turning her thickly muscled neck into a catapult that flung Earl into the troposphere. As he rocketed upward, I caught a glimpse of the wavy pattern on the soles of his Converse tennis shoes. Immediately, Jezebel squatted and flexed her massive haunches, volleying me like a rock from a slingshot. Earl reached zenith and entered perigee as I soared in apogee. From opposing flight paths, we exchanged ter-
in the 1970s. In November 2009, staff and students at Glasgow University in Scotland set a new world record involving the song. More than 200 people sang it in 41 different languages, including Gaelic, Czech, Estonian, Esperanto, Latin, Thai, Persian, Arabic, Malay, Vietnamese, Frisian, Hindi, Urdu, Irish Gaelic, Romanian, Scots, Welsh, Ukrainian, Yoruba, Swahili, Catalan, Bangla, Maori, Chichewa, Georgian, and Igbo. However, so few people have bothered to learn the lyrics to a song that is associated with annual tradition. Very few could quote anything beyond the first verse and chorus. Add to that lack of learning the fact that the song is often slurred by revelers in the midst of alcoholic libations, including champagne, most obviously.
The song, which has been called “the most popular song that nobody knows the words to,” is so misunderstood that it has often become the butt of pop culture jokes. In the movie ‘When HarryMet Sally,’ Harry (Billy Crystal) remarks to Sally (Meg Ryan) that he never quite understood the song and doesn’t know whether it is about remembering old friends or forgetting them. So, in celebration of the New Year, with deference to poet Robert Burns and bandleader Guy Lombardo, here’s to times and friends from the “old long since.” (Daily Corinthian columnist Stacy Jones teaches English at McNairy Central High School and UT Martin and has served on the board of directors at Corinth Theatre-Arts. She enjoys being a downtown Corinth resident.)
“ ... He had dealt with mules all his life, and knew that, far from being dumb as most folks thought, mules are as smart as they are mean and malicious. ...” rified glances. Bruised and stunned, we lay moaning in the dust, listening to the fading rhythm of Jezebel’s hooves. As we helped each other along, everything between toenails and towheads ached, pride included. Jezebel was grazing peacefully when we hobbled up. Staring balefully at us, she pointed her ears forward, rolled back her lips, bared domino-sized yellow teeth, and set to braying so loudly we never even heard Jaybird’s truck behind us. Taking one look at two bruised, abraded, battered, bleeding boys and another at his vindicated mule, the old black man knew what happened.

New Year, New You Louisa Fletcher no doubt expressed a common longing of us all as she pined, “I wish that there were some wonderful place called the Land of Beginning Again, where all our mistakes and all our heartaches, and all of our poor selfish grief, could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door, and never be put on again.” Physically, we cannot begin again. Sure, we may resolve to take better care of ourselves- eat right, exercise appropriately, avoid harmful drugs and other bad habits- and this may improve our future and even add a few years to our lives (I Peter 3:10-11; Galatians 6:8a), but we cannot bring back our youth and begin again. Spiritually, however, we can indeed begin again. Even if we have been crippled by the sins we served in the past, we can be freed from these, and scars begin to fade when we start serving righteousness (Romans 6:17-18) and sowing to the Spirit (Galatians 6:8b). This begins if (and only if) we have faith in God (Hebrews 11:6; John 8:24), change our mind toward sin and resolve to do better (Luke 13:3; II Corinthians 7:10), and become truly obedient unto Christ (Romans 6:3-4; Acts 22:16; John 8 31-32). Then, even “though our outward man is perishing, the inward man is being renewed day by day” (II Corinthians 4:16). The beauty of the new beginning is expressed a couple of paragraphs later: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become NEW” (II Corinthians 5:17, emphasis mine). Doesn’t this make you want to exclaim (with John), “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God!” (I John 3:1) Start this new year with the new you.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The Texas teenager who used an “affluenza” defense in a deadly drunken-driving wreck grew up in a wealthy yet unstable household where his parents underwent an acrimonious divorce, which included accusations that his mother was addicted to pain pills and his father was abusive. The divorce provides a revealing backdrop for the latest chapter in Ethan Couch’s troubled life: He and his mother were arrested Monday after fleeing to Mexico while he was on probation and using one of their phones to order a pizza delivered to a condo in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta. Couch’s path into the national spotlight began in June 2013, when he was driving drunk and speeding south of Fort Worth and crashed into a disabled SUV parked on the side of the road. The collision killed four people and injured several others, including passengers in his pickup truck. He pleaded guilty to four counts of intoxication manslaughter and two counts of intoxication assault causing serious bodily injury.
Betty Jo Davis
Betty Jo Wimberly Davis passed away December 25, 2015, at Williamson Medical Center in Franklin, Tenn. She was born July 11, 1929, in Decatur, Ala. At an early age, the family relocated to Corinth, where she graduated from Corinth High School in 1947. She was preceded in death by her parents, Carol Starnes Wimberly and Lafayette Ethbert Wimberly; a sister, Sue Wimberly Davis (George); and her husband of 50 years, Frank R. Davis Sr. She is survived by the second love of her life, Alvin Jackson of Killen, Ala.; a brother, Michael Randolph Wimberly of McComb; a daughter, Cynthia Jo Davis O’Reilly (Tom) of Columbia, Davis Tenn.; sons Frank (Richie) Davis of Sikeston Mo., and Martin Wimberly Davis of Ringgold Ga.; grandsons Patrick O’Reilly, Thomas O’Reilly and Michael Davis; granddaughters Brandee Davis Williams and Nikki Davis; great-granddaughters Brynlee Williams and Charlee Williams; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. In the late 1960s, Betty returned to school to pursue her passion in nursing. Upon receiving her LPN certificate, she worked at ECM on 2nd Central until the family moved to Hamburg, Germany. She loved Hamburg and the family spent four years there before moving to Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela. After spending seven years in Venezuela, they relocated to Baie Comeau, Quebec, Canada, before being transferred back to Florence, Ala., in the late 1980s. Upon return to Florence, they relocated to Killen on Wilson Lake. Betty loved traveling, flowers, nursing, her Scotty dogs and collecting antiques. She was a member of First United Methodist Church of Killen, Ala. A memorial service in celebration of Betty’s life was held on Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2015, at First United Methodist Church in Killen, Ala. Cremation Society of Tennessee is in charge of arrangements.

During the sentencing phase of his trial, a defense expert argued that his wealthy parents had coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility — a condition the expert termed “affluenza.” The condition is not recognized as a medical diagnosis by the American Psychiatric Association, and its invocation drew ridicule. A judge sentenced him in juvenile court to 10 years’ probation and a stint in a rehabilitation center. When Fred and Tonya Couch divorced in 2006, the court ordered psychological evaluations of both parents and Ethan, their only child. Fred Couch, now 50, told a social worker that their marriage had been a “mistake from the start,” Johnson County court documents show. He said that his wife, now 48, was addicted to Vicodin and had given the painkiller to their son about five times. She also kept his bed in her room and considered him to be her “protector.” Tonya Couch said the marriage ended because her husband had been verbally and physically abusive. She said there was daily name-calling, that he often grabbed her by the hair and that
he once “threw her into a fireplace.” Ethan Couch said his parents had always “yelled at each other a lot,” and he wished that they “wouldn’t put him in the middle.” The social worker concluded that the Couches had “adultified” a then9-year-old Ethan, allowing him to become overly involved in adult issues and decisions. After his parents’ divorce, the Couches’ son lived mainly with his mother in a gated, 5,000-square-foot ranch home set on 6 acres of land in rural Burleson, Texas. Tonya Couch had her nursing license revoked in 2012 for failing to disclose a reckless driving charge in 2003, according to the Texas Board of Nursing. Fred Couch founded Cleburne Metal Works, which does large-scale metal roofing, in 1986. The company employs 40 people and has estimated annual sales of $9.59 million, according to business research company Hoover’s. Ethan Couch worked there after finishing school at age 15. It was unclear whether he received a high school diploma or GED. Tarrant County Sheriff Dee Anderson has said he
believes the mother and son fled in late November after a video surfaced that appears to show Couch at a party where people were drinking. He said authorities have no evidence that Couch’s father was involved in the getaway. Authorities began searching for the pair after Ethan Couch missed a mandatory Dec. 10 appointment with his probation officer. On Wednesday, the 18-year-old won a delay in deportation. The ruling could lead to a much longer court process if a judge decides Couch has grounds to challenge his deportation based on arguments that kicking him out of Mexico would violate his rights. The judge has three days to consider the appeal. Such cases can take anywhere from two weeks to several months, depending on the priorities of the local courts and the actions of defense attorneys, said Richard Hunter, chief deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service in South Texas. Couch’s mother, Tonya Couch, was brought through Los Angeles International Airport early Thursday after a flight from Mexico. She was in the custody of marshals.

HONOLULU — Hawaii is raising the legal smoking to age 21 for traditional and electronic cigarettes on Jan. 1, becoming the first state in the nation to do so. Public health officials are hoping that by making it more difficult for young people to get their hands on cigarettes, they will keep them from developing an unhealthy addiction. “In Hawaii, about one in four students in high school try their first cigarette each year, and one in three who get hooked will die prematurely,” said Lola Irvin, administrator with the chronic disease prevention and health promotion division of the Hawaii Department of Health. Officials included electronic smoking devices in the law after noticing a spike in the number of students trying electronic cigarettes. The percentage of Hawaii public high school students smoking electronic cigarettes quadrupled over four years to 22 percent in 2015, and among middleschoolers, 12 percent reported using them in 2015, a sixfold increase over four years.
While Hawaii is the first state to raise the smoking age to 21, more than 100 cities and counties have already done so, including New York City. The town of Needham, Massachusetts, raised the smoking age to 21 in 2005, and a decade later the percentage of adults smoking was 50 percent lower than the rest of the state. Several military bases in Hawaii expressed their support for the move, saying their bases would comply with the state law. “We see it as a fitness and readiness issue,” said Bill Doughty, spokesman for the Navy Region Hawaii. “When we can prevent sailors from smoking or using tobacco, if we can get them to quit, then that improves their fitness and readiness, and it saves them a ton of money too.” But critics say that if a man or woman is old enough to potentially die defending their country, they’re old enough to make a decision about smoking. “If you can serve the country, you should be able to have a drink and a cigarette,” said Justin Warren, 22, an X-ray technician in the Army.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Americans place a higher priority on preserving the religious freedom of Christians than for other faith groups, ranking Muslims as the least deserving of the protections, according to a new survey. Solid majorities said it was extremely or very important for the U.S. to uphold religious freedom in general. However, the percentages varied dramatically when respondents were asked about specific faith traditions, according to a poll by The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Eighty-two percent said religious liberty protections were important for Christians, compared with 61 percent who said the same for Muslims. About seven in 10 said preserving Jews’ religious freedom was important, while 67 percent said so of Mormons. People who identified with no religion were ranked about even with Muslims in needing support to live out their beliefs. Charles Haynes, director of the Religious Freedom Center of the Newseum Institute, said the findings reflect deep divisions among Ameri-
cans about the very definition of religious liberty, which has taken on newly politicized meanings in a time of debate over gay marriage and the threat from Islamic extremists. “Religious freedom is now in the eye of the beholder,” Haynes said. “People in different traditions, with different ideological commitments, define religious freedom differently.” The poll was conducted Dec. 10 through Dec. 13, after Islamic extremist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California, and during intensifying anti-Muslim rhetoric by Donald Trump and other candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. The furor has led to a spike in vandalism of mosques and harassment of U.S. Muslims over the last month. In the survey, 88 percent of Republicans said it was important to protect the religious liberty of Christians, while only 60 percent said so for Muslims. Democrats also ranked religious freedom for Muslims as a lower priority. Eightythree percent of Democrats said the protections were important for Christians, while only 67 percent said so for Muslims.

Van, buggy crash; teen girl is killed BENTON, Tenn. — Police say a van hit a horse-drawn buggy on a Tennessee road, killing a teenage girl. Tennessee Highway Patrol Lt. John Harmon told WRCB-TV that the 13-year-old girl died Wednesday after being airlifted on Tuesday from the crash scene in Polk County. A highway patrol report says the van’s driver, 28-year-old Jason Shelton, was traveling at a high rate of speed when he struck the buggy the girl had been traveling in. The report says the buggy’s driver, 50-year-old Daniel Wanner, was hauling corn Shelton has been charged with several counts including drunken driving, leaving the scene of an accident and vehicle assault by intoxication.
Woman teaches empowerment A woman who was accosted as a girl by a man who tried to tear off her headscarf has turned her anger into a program that uses self-defense classes and other lessons to let young Muslim women know they can succeed. Rana Abdelhamid was attacked in New York when she was 16. She soon started teaching martial arts techniques to other girls. Now that has grown into the Women’s Initiative for Self-Empowerment, or WISE, which also teaches leadership and social entrepreneurial skills. Abdelhamid, a graduate of Vermont’s Middlebury College and now student at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, says the challenge facing Muslims has been getting worse, especially since the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
ton, of Orange County, had been searching for a kitten for their daughter Scarlette, who was born with a rare form of cancer. Scarlette’s left arm had to be amputated when she was 10 months old. Doctors say she’s now cancer free. Scarlette’s parents wanted to find a kitten that had undergone an amputation surgery to help in their daughter’s ongoing recovery. That’s when they heard about Holly, a kitten two women found bleeding from a traumatic injury in December. The kitten’s left front leg was amputated.
Friend of California shooter indicted RIVERSIDE, Calif. — A friend of one of the shooters in the San Bernardino massacre that killed 14 people was indicted Wednesday on charges that include conspiring in a pair of previous planned attacks and making false statements when he bought the guns used in this month’s shootings, authorities said. The indictment by a federal grand jury avoids the need for a probable cause hearing before a judge to determine whether 24-yearold Enrique Marquez Jr. should stand trial on the five counts. The charges include conspiring with shooter Syed Farook to carry out attacks in 2011 and 2012. Prosecutors said in court documents that Marquez and Farook planned to use pipe bombs and guns to kill people at the college they attended and others stuck in rush-hour traffic on a California freeway. The plots fizzled, and they never acted. Marquez is also charged with two counts for saying in paperwork that two assault rifles he later gave to Farook were only for himself or his immediate family.

splurge that refurbished Independence Hall in Philadelphia and helped complete the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway. Next year, the worldfamous system turns 100 and the celebration will be far more modest. The Obama administration and Republican lawmakers have vastly different ideas about what to do. Both parties agree that the country’s national parks and historic sites could use some sprucing up. Their shared goal is to use the centennial to improve trails, visitor centers, campgrounds and other park features that need maintenance work. The question is how much of a dent Congress will make in a system-wide maintenance backlog with an estimated $11.5 billion price tag. President Barack Obama has recommended spending an additional $1.5 billion on the parks over a three-year period. Republican leaders in Congress have a smaller birthday present in mind.
Perry: Nuke danger is growing WASHINGTON — Late in a life lived unnervingly near the nuclear abyss, William J. Perry is on a mission to warn of a “real and growing danger� of nuclear doom. The 88-year-old former defense secretary is troubled by the risks of catastrophe from the very weapons he helped develop decades ago. Atop his worry list: a nuclear terror attack in a major U.S. city or a shooting war with Russia that, through miscalculation, turns nuclear. He said in an interview that a terrorist attack using a nuclear bomb or improvised nuclear device could happen “any time now - next year or the year after.� Perry played a central role in developing and modernizing nuclear forces throughout the Cold War. He was a technology whiz-kid and later a three-time senior Pentagon executive.

Bryant seeks disaster declaration JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant has asked President Barack Obama to declare a major disaster in parts of Mississippi affected by tornadoes and severe storms that hit the state Dec. 23 through Dec. 28. Bryant’s office issued a statement Thursday saying the request is based on initial assessments made by local officials, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The request covers Benton, Coahoma, Marshall, Quitman and Tippah counties. The area could be expanded, pending more assessments, if the disaster is declared.
Jackson vows to keep airport control JACKSON — Jackson officials are vowing to fight any attempt by the state to take away control of the JacksonMedgar Wiley Evers International Airport. The Clarion-Ledger reports a bill will be filed in the 2016 Legislature, which begins Tuesday, to give control of the airport to the state and have a tri-county authority oversee. Two members of the authority each would be appointed from Hinds, Madison and Rankin counties along with one at-large member. The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority now oversees operation of the airport. During Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Councilman Kenneth Stokes brought up the item as an agenda discussion. Mayor Tony Yarber confirmed that there is discussion about taking authority for the airport from Jackson. “It is a very real discussion about the state taking control of the airport,� Yarber said.
The Commercial Appeal she considers the effort a good first step toward change. Tuesday was the deadline for gathering approximately 107,000 signatures to get Initiative 48 on the November 2016 general election ballot. Jacobs, who knew she faced an uphill battle in conservative Mississippi, finished with 13,320 certified signatures. She said the actual number was probably a bit higher because some of the state’s 82 counties did not provide a list of certified signatures. “Our ballot initiative petition 48 was a huge first step down the road of legalizing marijuana for Mississippians,� Jacobs said in a letter to the Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Committee detailing results of the petition drive. She said the next step is for supporters to “have a conversation with our elected officials about how we expect them to change our laws so that we eventually succeed and marijuana is regulated like alcohol.� Jacobs’ effort, riding the wave of legalization in other states such as Colorado, Oregon and Washington, was beset with obstacles from the start. In a letter to Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, Jacobs and her Mississippi for Cannabis group claimed unlawful denial of access to public buildings for meetings and a litany of other alleged improprieties. Jacobs said she was confronted by two Ku Klux Klan members at the DeSoto County Courthouse in Hernando, and they threatened her if she didn’t stop collecting signatures.
Coroner identifies Hattiesburg victim HATTIESBURG — Hattiesburg officials have identified the victim in a Tuesday night shooting death as 43-yearold Richard DeShawn Barnes. Forrest County deputy coroner Jonathan Nobles tells The Hattiesburg American an autopsy is being conducted at the state crime lab in Jackson, but it appears Barnes died of multiple gunshot wounds. Police are looking for a suspect or suspects in the shooting,. Lt. Jon Traxler says officers were informed of the incident about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when they were dispatched to Forrest General Hospital following a report of a shooting victim who had arrived in a vehicle.
Mayoral election may see challenge LUMBERTON — The mayoral election in Lumberton has taken yet another turn, as the city will have to wait at least a week to declare its next permanent mayor. After Tuesday’s runoff election, Kent Crider ended the night with 197 votes to Jonathan Griffith’s 192, with 12 affidavit ballots remaining to be counted. After those affidavits were tallied Wednesday, Crider was left on top, with 201 votes to Griffith’s 193. But now, Griffith plans to challenge the results of the election, based largely on seven ballots that were rejected. Crider, who is the current alderman, said says some ballots were rejected because the voters had felony records.

Regional airlines lose altitude percent to 10.5 percent. Regional airlines typically pay their pilots and flight attendants less than the mainline carriers, making it cheaper to fly. By subcontracting out flights, American, Delta and United can afford to serve smaller cities that don’t have enough passengers to justify using larger, more expensive jets. Or that at least used to be the conventional wisdom. Now, the larger airlines are purchasing slightly smaller jets and letting their own crews fly to smaller cities. It lets them ensure a uniform level of service across all of its flights — ideally more on-time flights and nicer employees who are vested in the brand. Regional airlines have been hit by a pilot shortage and, in some cases, haven’t been able to fulfill their schedule commitments. Delta is suing Republic, claiming such a breach.
Two of the three largest U.S. airlines are scaling back the number of flights they outsource to regional carriers, choosing instead to fly more of those routes themselves. That’s causing big drops in passengers and flights for two of the biggest publicly-traded regional carriers: Republic Airways Holdings and SkyWest. Both companies work as subcontractors for American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. They typically fly smaller jets from the big airlines’ hubs to smaller towns. But now, Delta and United are starting to shift more routes back to their own jets. During the first nine months of 2014, regional airlines accounted for 12.9 percent of United’s flying. This year, that number has fallen to 11.9 percent. At Delta, the same figure fell from 11.3
Changing course The biggest U.S. airlines are outsourcing fewer flights to small cities to regional carriers. As a result, the regionals are cutting flights and flying fewer passengers. 0%

Auto sales
Close-up on the Fed
Eye on unemployment
The latest monthly tally of U.S. auto sales is expected to be the biggest in a decade. LMC Automotive and J.D. Power have forecast that U.S. sales for December, due out on Monday, reached 1.71 million last month, the highest since sales reached 1.8 million in July of 2005. That would virtually assure that U.S. sales set an annual record of 17.5 million in 2015.
The Federal Reserve releases on Wednesday the minutes of a two-day meeting of its policymakers last month. Following the meeting, the central bank increased the short-term interest rate it controls for the first time since 2006. The minutes of the meeting could provide insight into the Fed policymakers’ decision or clues on the timing of another rate hike.
The U.S. job market continues to appear strikingly robust. Employers hired 210,000 workers a month through the first 11 months of 2015. That helped bring down the nation’s unemployment rate to a seven-year low of 5 percent in October. Economists anticipate that the Labor Department will report on Friday that the rate held steady in December.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Don’t miss Crossroads Magazine Healthy Living edition coming out on Saturday, Jan. 30 and get the new year off to a healthy start.
New year is opportunity to set a fresh course for the future D E A R READERS: It’s 2016! A new year has arrived, bringing with it our chance for a new beAbigail ginning. is Van Buren theToday day we have an opDear Abby portunity to discard destructive old habits for healthy new ones, and with that in mind, I will share Dear Abby’s often-requested list of New Year’s Resolutions -- which were adapted by my late mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of Al-Anon: JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine. JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I
cannot. JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer. JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today, I will refrain from improving anybody but myself. JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully -- if only just for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block. JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions. And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by L.J. Bhatia, a reader from New Delhi, India: DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say, “Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man
who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature.” The prayer of St. Francis (of which there are several versions) contains a powerful message: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love; For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. And so, Dear Readers, may this new year bring with it good health, peace and joy to all of you. -- LOVE, ABBY Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Usually, whether or not you get what you want you take it in stride. Today you’re more invested in seeing things go your way, as you should be. This one is important and worth fighting for. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to improve the world; we all do. Maybe that’s why you’re turned off by political rants that either preach to the choir or alienate the opposition. A break from intense sharing is what’s needed. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s nice to feel self-contained, and you very well may be able to fulfill any need that comes up today all on your own. However, accepting a bit of help may also be the most gracious thing to do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Relationships will thrive as you give enough to let others know you’re interested and admiring and then pull back enough to allow them to reach for you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You care. You give. You get. You care even more. This is the cycle that sums up the day. Tonight will bring an important meeting of the minds. Capricorn and Aquarius are two minds that should be included. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your current vision is enough to drive you to the next waypoint, but a broader vision is probably needed to sustain your motivation through the miles and miles that follow. Brainstorm, discuss and research. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be there to catch the soul who is floundering to catch balance. Your discreet assistance will be much appreciated, though perhaps privately, so as not to draw attention to the fall. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not exactly in uncharted territory, but, without guides around, you might as well be. Call out to tell people where you want to go. Trying to get there without a map will be a waste of
time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will accomplish your top priority as long as you state what it is and keep paying attention to it throughout the day. Loved ones seem to need you, but if you’re busy they’ll do brilliantly on their own. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Go ahead and step into that fresh scene. You’ll get attention because you’re the new person, and you’ll become fast friends with someone who can show you around. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your help is so subtle that some don’t even realize they are being assisted. You’ll gently nudge people into the right groove and all goes smoothly from there. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Preferring to keep things light, you may not set out to tell your friend what’s really going on with you, but you’re likely to reveal it, anyway, because the time you spend together has a way of opening your heart.

Ole Miss, OSU meet in Sugar Bowl BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS — Mississippi learned last season it’s a huge honor and lots of fun to play in one of the major bowl games. The Rebels also found out how embarrassing it is to get blown out on such a big stage. So No. 16 Ole Miss (9-3) has a little added motivation on Friday when it faces No. 13 Oklahoma State (10-2) in the Sugar Bowl. It’s the first time the Rebels have played in the game since 1970 and the first trip to New Orleans for the Cowboys since 1946. “Last year we kind of blew it,” Ole Miss running back
Jordan Wilkins said. “We’re here to redeem ourselves.” Ole Miss was in a similar situation last year when it won nine games during the regular season and played TCU in the Peach Bowl. The Rebels lost 42-3 in a game that is still a sore subject for several players and coaches. Now, players and coaches say they’re ready for a doover. Ole Miss has had an upand-down season of impressive wins (Alabama) and head-scratching losses (Memphis, Arkansas). The Rebels closed the season on a roll, beating LSU and Mississippi State heading into the
Sugar Bowl. Junior quarterback Chad Kelly leads the Ole Miss attack. He has thrown for 3,740 yards and 27 touchdowns. He’s also run for 427 yards and 10 touchdowns. Kelly said Oklahoma State’s defense is impressive on tape. “They are physical and fast, they like to press their corners and get after the quarterback,” Kelly said. “They are always going to have great players because their coaches recruit so well. I’m anxious to get out there and see what we can do against them.” Oklahoma State also is looking for a measure of redemption after late Novem-
ber didn’t go like the program hoped. The Cowboys were in the middle of the college football playoff discussion after winning their first 10 games, but back-to-back losses to Baylor and Oklahoma in the final two weeks of the season knocked them back to the Sugar Bowl. Beating an SEC team in the season finale would be a good consolation prize. “This game is like the college Super Bowl to us ... it’s the SEC versus the Big 12, we have to go out there are show them that we are not a conference people can just push Please see SUGAR | 11

Kossuth clubs split final 2015 contests BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com
Lydia Lee and Morgan Hodum led a 19-point third quarter as the Kossuth Lady Aggies expanded a 17-11 halftime lead and finished the 2015 portion of their schedule with a 50-31 win over Hickory Flat on Wednesday.

• Hodum and Lee, the lone Kossuth players to amass double figures in points, scored six points each in the frame as the Lady Aggies ended a two-game slide. A 19-7 advantage in the third, extended Kossuth’s lead to 36-18. Hodum added six more in the fourth to finish with a game-high 16. Lee added 12. Darbie Coleman finished 6-for-6 from the line, including four makes over the final eight minutes. • Hernando used a 27-15
advantage in the third to break open a 29-22 halftime contest. Ten different Tigers (95) got in on the scoring act. Hernando finished with an 8-3 advantage on three-point field goals. T.J.

Mississippi State easily thumps N.C. Central The Associated Press
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State’s Gavin Ware didn’t get off to the best start Thursday against North Carolina Central. He missed his first two shots, but it got much better the rest of the way. The senior center never missed again. Ware scored 16 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Mississippi State to a
71-48 win over the Eagles to close out the Bulldogs’ nonconference schedule. Ware shot 5 of 7 from the field and was 6 of 6 at the free-throw line. “My first two shots were bad shots for me,” said Ware. “I was off-balanced and just rushed them. But I stayed with it and Coach told me not to rush things and to pass it back out if I didn’t have
anything. So I slowed things down and settled down.” Malik Newman added 15 points, including 11 in the first half, for the Bulldogs (68). Quinndary Weatherspoon scored 14 points, with seven rebounds and four assists. North Carolina Central shot 24 percent from the field and made just 5 of 30 3-pointers, but outrebounded the Bulldogs 48-38, led by Jeremiah
Ingram with 12. Rashaun Madison and Patrick Cole each scored nine points for the Eagles (5-9). “I was really pleased with our defensive performance except for the number of second shots we gave up,” said Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland. “But we held them to 23 percent for the Please see THUMPS | 11
Ward powers Houston past Florida State in Peach Bowl The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Greg Ward Jr. showed off his dual-threat talents on a national stage as he ran for two touchdowns and threw for another, leading Houston past turnoverplagued Florida State 38-24 in the Peach Bowl on Thursday. Ward, the nation’s only player to run and throw for 1,000 yards this season, threw for 238 yards and ran for 67 yards as No. 14 Houston (13-
1) scored the most points allowed by Florida State this season. The No. 9 Seminoles (10-3), who trailed 21-3 at halftime, tried to rally with two fourthquarter touchdown passes by Sean Maguire. It wasn’t enough to overcome five turnovers. Maguire, who was carted off the field with a lower left leg injury late in the first quarter, returned but threw four interceptions. Houston
safety Trevon Stewart and cornerback William Jackson III each had two interceptions. Florida State star running back Dalvin Cook was held to 33 yards with a touchdown and a lost fumble. Florida State committed only 10 turnovers in the regular season. Ward, the junior who started at wide receiver early last season before becoming a full-time quarterback, had
touchdown runs of 7 and 6 yards. He left the game briefly after taking a hit in the third quarter, and was shaken up again with about 4 minutes remaining. He returned to take the final snaps of the game, raising his arm in celebration before laying on his back, wallowing in the confetti which fell from the Georgia Dome roof.

around,” Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said. “We just have to go out there and be the best team we can be.” Here are some other things to watch in Friday’s Sugar Bowl: No Nkemdiches: The Rebels will be missing two of their best defensive players in the Sugar Bowl. Defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche was suspended for Friday’s game after he fell out of a hotel window in Atlanta and was charged with possession of marijuana. The junior, who has already said he will enter the NFL draft, had seven tackles for a loss and three sacks this season. His older brother, linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, hasn’t played since November after he went to the hospital for an undisclosed reason.
He is fourth on the team with 53 tackles. Tunsil Vs Ogbah: It should be a matchup of elite players when Ole Miss left tackle Laremy Tunsil takes on Oklahoma State defensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah. Both are considered potential first-round picks in this spring’s NFL draft. Tunsil’s done a good job — since he returned from a 7-game NCAA suspension — of protecting QB Chad Kelly’s blindside while Ogbah has 28 career sacks, which leads all active NCAA players. Postseason rivalry: The Rebels and Cowboys have some recent postseason history. Ole Miss beat Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl in both 2004 (31-28) and 2010 (21-7). Eli Manning was the quarterback of the Rebels’ 2004 team. Now the programs meet in the Sugar Bowl for the first time.

game so the zone was good for us. We were trying to keep the ball out of the paint but we will still be doing a lot of blocking-out drills in practice.” Mississippi State never trailed and led by as many as 31 points in the second half. The Bulldogs outscored the Eagles 40-18 in the paint and held a 17-1 advantage in points off turnovers. However, North Carolina controlled the offensive boards 25-6 and scored 21 second-chance points. Mississippi State was in control from the start, largely due to North Carolina Central’s cold shooting in the first half. The Eagles missed 12 of their first 13 shots and that helped Mississippi State jump to a 15-4 lead in the first nine minutes of the game. “We are really playing unselfishly and it’s been like that the last three games,” said Howland. “The guys are making the extra pass. I love the 18 assists on 28 baskets tonight.” Mississippi State led by as many as 21 points in the first half and was up 34-17 at halftime.

Tip ins Mississippi State: Senior center Gavin Ware has been in double digits in all 12 games this season. Thursday’s meeting with North Carolina Central was the first-ever for the Bulldogs. Senior Fred Thomas now has 943 career points and is just 57 shy of becoming the 37th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points. Thursday’s win gave the Bulldogs their second, three-game winning streak of the season. North Carolina Central: Mississippi State was just the third Southeast Conference team North Carolina Central has face in its basketball history. The Eagles have also played Arkansas and South Carolina. Thursday’s game at Mississippi State marked just the second time in school history that the Eagles played a game on New Year’s Eve.
Up next Mississippi State hosts Texas A&M on Wednesday to open the SEC schedule. North Carolina Central travels to East Tennessee State on Monday.

back Kyle Postma’s 29yard run set up Ryan Jackson’s game-clinching 2-yard touchdown run with about 2 minutes left. Ward completed 25 of 41 passes with one touchdown and one interception. Houston’s only loss this season, to Connecticut, came when Ward was out with an injury. He kept the Florida State defense off-balance by leading the Cougars’ fast-tempo, no-huddle attack. Maguire’s 65-yard scoring pass to Travis Rudolph cut Houston’s lead to 24-17 early in the fourth quarter. Ward answered with

Texas A&M falls short in Music City Bowl BY TERESA M. WALKER AP Sports Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin downplayed the turmoil his Aggies have been through over the past month, losing not one but both of their top quarterbacks. In the end, it might have been a bit much asking a third-string quarterback to make his first career start in a bowl game. Jake Hubenak threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns Wednesday night, but the sophomore also turned the ball over twice and was sacked five times. Hubenak’s final pass fell incomplete in the end zone with 1:39 left as the Aggies lost the Music City Bowl 27-21 to Louisville. “Once he settled down a little bit, he was fine,” Sumlin said. “I thought he had a great demeanor during the game. He was very upset about the fumble. ... For a guy to come in and give us a chance after everything that had happened in the 55 minutes
beforehand, you have to give credit to him.” Texas A&M (8-5) became the first Southeastern Conference team to lose this bowl season. The Aggies lost their second straight overall and snapped a four-game bowl winning streak. “It’s a sour taste in your mouth just because we lost,” cornerback Brandon Williams said. Aggies wide receiver Josh Reynolds set Music City Bowl records with 11 catches for 177 yards, both career highs. Tra Carson ran for 106 yards. But Louisville outgained the Aggies 534-445 with Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson setting a Music City Bowl record running for a career-high 226 yards and setting this bowl’s mark for total offense with 453 yards. He ran for two TDs and threw for two more. Jackson scored three times in the first quarter, and the Cardinals never trailed. Louisville (8-5) won its
third bowl in their past four trips and first since 2013. The Cardinals also won for the eighth time in 10 games after starting the season 0-3. “The first thing I thought of was, ‘Wow, we were 0-3 and we got a great win at the Music City Bowl,’” coach Bobby Petrino said about his first bowl victory since returning to Louisville in 2014. Hubenak started after both Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray transferred this month. Hubenak hit Christian Kirk with a 29yard TD pass with 4:54 left that pulled the Aggies to 27-21. Texas A&M nearly had first-and-goal at the Cardinals 6, but a review showed Kirk did not maintain possession of the ball on his catch. That left Hubenak two more chances inside the final 2 minutes. The Cardinals batted down a pass, then Hubenak was incomplete throwing into the end zone. “That’s a heck of a position for a guy making his
first start, but guys rallied around him.” The Louisville quarterback topped the 187 yards Marion Barber had for Minnesota had in 2004 and total offense mark of 424 yards set by Mike Glennon of North Carolina State in 2012. Jackson also became the third quarterback to run and throw for at least 200 yards in a bowl game, joining Vince Young in 2006 and Johnny Manziel in 2012. “He’s explosive, and he’s got wheels,” Sumlin said about Jackson. “He really gave us fits on the edge.” Louisville senior linebacker James Burgess’ career ended on the Cardinals’ first defensive play of the game. He was flagged, then ejected for targeting Texas A&M wide receiver Damion Ratley on a hit that left both the receiver and Cardinals cornerback Shaq Wiggins on the ground for a few minutes. He didn’t return until late in the first quarter with a strained lower back.

What do we expect going into a New Year? As we celebrate the last days of the current year and enjoy the festive times of Christmas, do we have an expectation of what the days and months of the New Year are going to bring? Have we made plans that are going to affect us in the next few days as well as the future? Gary In the corpoAndrews rate structure of business and Devotionals industry, plans and budgets have been made with expectations of gaining strength and moving forward to a bigger and better day. Many individuals also make plans of what they want to achieve or possibly look in a different direction for a change in their livelihood. These plans and predictions are all good, however one must remember that most of these plans and predictions are desires to be accomplished and most of the times are often guesses or wishes. I have personally completed a lot of budgets and plans for the future, not only for myself, but for companies I have worked with. In all of these times I could never guarantee the future and the plans I had made because no
Suggested daily Bible readings Sunday – Matthew 24:3544; Monday – Proverbs 3:1-6; Tuesday – Philippians 1:311; Wednesday – Jeremiah 29:11-13; Thursday – 1 John 3:1-3; Friday – Isaiah 55:8-9; Saturday – James 4:13-17. one knows what the future holds. We have great expectations and we put our trust in worldly studies and predictions that could or could not hold true. Over these many years that God has allowed me to be on earth, I have witnessed firsthand or have received news of someone’s life being taken without any warning. Many of these same people who left earth at an early age had plans for the future along with their wishes and hopes of obtaining greater and better things for them and their loved ones. There have been times when small and large businesses have suffered setbacks due to fire destruction or weather related storms. None of this was planned or desired by these companies even though everyone knew the possibility of a loss or failure. The future is unpredictable even though we all try to analyze what the future will bring.
Future planning and budgets are much needed items to project what an individual or company is looking for, however we need to realize that all of us, and no one is excluded, are only one breath away from leaving this world and taking our destination ride into Hades or into our eternal home with Jesus. Planning for the future is great and I firmly believe that everyone should do this. Companies and industries grow and depend on their future plans and encourage their employees to work toward these goals. Future planning and budgets are much needed items to project what an individual or company is looking for, however we need to realize that all of us, and no one is excluded, are only one breath away from leaving this world and taking our destination ride into Hades or into our eternal home with Jesus. For those of us that know Jesus as our Lord and Savior never have to worry about our future because when He decides it is time for us to leave this sinful world, we understand that our heavenly home is with Him. Having Jesus as our Lord and Savior guarantees us eternal life with Him and He tells us in Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and
hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” Then in Matthew 24:44 He says, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Our future on this earth is short. It is good to plan a good future here but all of us need to realize that when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we will spend eternity with Him. Prayer: Thank you Lord for the time on earth that you have given me. I pray that I will be in your will in all that I say and do. Amen.

Resolve to follow the golden rule of life everyday Another year has arrived, last year seeming even shorter than the year before. I’m a year older, been married a year longer, have made some of the same mistakes again and yet have taken Lora Ann golden opporHuff tunities to do some really good Back Porch things. Don’t all of us fall into a similar category? I’ve never been one to make New Year’s resolutions, never really felt the need to bind myself with a new list of rules when it’s all I can do to live one day at a time. I believe if I can make the best of one day then maybe the next
…So Happy New Year to everyone – and prayers for all of us to resolve to let the Lord direct our paths in 2016. day will have a chance to be worthwhile also. Someone by the name of Edith Lovejoy Pierce said it well when she wrote, “We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” Truth is we can write on those pages only moment by moment and day by day. Why proclaim what we will do throughout the whole year when we must deal with it in one day increments? I read a quote by Dave Beard which probably describes me
best: “Many years ago I resolved never to bother with New Year’s resolutions, and I’ve stuck with it ever since.” Guess that’s the easy way out, right? …But when we boil it all down, the way I see it is that we don’t need a long list of improvements we’re going to make. Maybe we have only two “resolutions” we should focus on. One is what we call the Golden Rule in which Jesus said, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you…” (Matthew 7:12 NIV). The other is found in Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord
with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight (direct your paths).” (NIV) If we could resolve to practice those two standards, what a difference we could make in 2016! Sure, there’s no doubt we will sometimes fall short, but if we truly trust in Him, He will lead us down the straight path and show us the best things to do. …So Happy New Year to everyone – and prayers for all of us to resolve to let the Lord direct our paths in 2016.

Clinton fields questions at New Hampshire church PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has held a town hall meeting in a New Hampshire church, fielding questions about health care and the economy. Some of the questions at Portsmouth’s South Church came from children. A young girl asked how college could be made more affordable. A boy asked if the government
could do more for the disabled. Clinton said those are problems she would address as president. She also pledged to boost Alzheimer’s disease research, declaring to an appreciative crowd that “the heavens support what we are going to do.” In the church venue, Clinton didn’t mention Republican rival Donald Trump. She said this should be a season of compassion, especially “for those of us who celebrate Christmas.”
Rubio vows to protect constitutional rights CLINTON, Iowa — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says as president, he would appoint judges and an attorney general who would defend First Amendment religious rights and the Second Amendment right to own firearms. At a town hall meeting in Iowa, Rubio said the Obama administration is “obsessed with taking away religious liberty and the Second Amendment.”
The GOP presidential hopeful said the U.S. was founded on the principle that people’s rights come from God and not from government, and that life is precious at every stage. Rubio accused the media of undermining values that children are taught at church and in the home. He said Americans who oppose abortion are accused of waging a war on women, and “if you believe in traditional marriage today you’re called a bigot, an outdated hater.”

Dear Readers: Welcome to 2016! We wish every one of you excellent health and extreme happiness. We hope this year is better than the last and not as good as the next. Do your best to make this year special. Be kinder. Be more patient. Be more tolerant. Help someone in need. The world could use these things more than ever. Vow to look after your health, exercise, eat less junk, give up smoking and eat more fruits and vegetables. Smile more. You never know how much that small kindness might mean to someone who is having a bad day. Turn over that elusive new leaf. Put more effort into your relationships, and tell the people you love how much they mean to you. You don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Let’s start this year off right. Last year, we promised to reprint two pieces that readers enjoyed and thought appropriate for the new year. Here they
Annie’s Mailbox are: “Just for Today” (author unknown) Just for today I will live through the next 12 hours and not tackle my whole life’s problems at once. Just for today I will improve my mind. I will learn something useful. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look my best, speak in a well-modulated voice, be courteous and considerate. Just for today I will not find fault with friend, relative or colleague. I will not try to change or improve anyone but myself. Just for today I will have a program. I might not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two enemies -hurry and indecision. Just for today I will exercise my character in three ways. I will do a good turn and keep it a secret. If anyone finds out, it won’t count.
Just for today I will do two things I don’t want to do, just for exercise. J u s t for today I will be unafraid. Especially will I be unafraid to enjoy what is beautiful and believe that as I give to the world, the world will give to me. Dear Readers: Here’s one more with such practical advice that we think should be on everyone’s refrigerator: “Golden Rules for Living” by Miriam Hamilton Keare 1. If you open it, close it. 2. If you turn it on, turn it off. 3. If you unlock it, lock it up. 4. If you break it, admit it. 5. If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can. 6. If you borrow it, return it. 7. If you value it, take care of it. 8. If you make a mess, clean it up. 9. If you move it, put it back. 10. If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it. 11. If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone. 12. If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.
