The Daily Corinthian’s biggest stories of 2016 weren’t all tragedies.

More than half of the most viewed, liked, shared and all around talked about stories showed off the more heartwarming side of Crossroads

area news from the past year.

The following is only a small sampling of the biggest stories of 2016 that appeared in the Daily Corinthian print edition and online at DailyCorinthian. com.

• Gas station attendant fatally shot On the first day of February,

43-year-old mother of two Kris Ledlow was shot and killed as she worked the final 15 minutes of her shift at the Highway 72 East MAPCO Express gas station.

Surveillance video helped Corinth police locate and capture Brooklyn Traylor and Micah Allan Bostic, who were both

arrested for murder.

The original story is not only the most viewed DailyCorinthian.com story of 2016, but also holds the all-time record with almost 200,000 unique views.

Election commissioners take office oath unless you’ve been there, what the election commissioners do,” said Circuit Clerk Joe Caldwell, who works alongside the commissioners to hold elections. “There is a lot of responsibility. You’ve got to cross the T’s and dot the I’s.”

He said the county is fortunate to have a good working relationship between the clerk’s office and the commissioners — something that is not necessarily true in a number of other Mississippi counties.

The commission’s senior member, Dixon, is beginning a ninth fouryear term. McDaniel is beginning a fifth term, and Peebles is going into his fourth. Mitchell is beginning her first full term after serving a portion of a term.

YOKOSUKA, Japan — Sailors assigned to the Ticonderogaclass guided missile-cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67) received letters from visitors who stopped at Shiloh National Military Park in Shiloh, Tenn., throughout the summer of 2016.

More than 200 people wrote the crew of SHILOH to express their appreciation for their sacrifice and service. The Shiloh, named after the pivotal Civil War battle that has been memorialized into a national park, is forward deployed to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations since 2006.

Visitors wrote to the Shiloh pouring out their hearts in appreciation. It was the most meaningful way for them to thank the Sailors for their sacrifice.

‘I shall not live In vain’

BY JIMMY REED Columnist

Long years of farming cotton in the Mississippi Delta set my circadian clock. I rarely sleep past four o’clock, and take long predawn walks, during which any worthwhile thoughts I have that day are likely to be formulated.

Out walking one morning after Christmas, I ruminated about how I could turn past failures into successes in the coming year. Few things relieve … and delude … the human mind more than those annual promises to oneself: New Year’s Resolutions.

If you asked Mark Twain about success, he would have said, “All you need is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.”

If you asked Orison Swett Marden, you would have gotten volumes of answers; success is the central theme in most of his books. Among his best-known quotes are: “No one has a corner on success.

It is his who pays the price”; “People must make the most possible out of what’s been given them. This is success — there is no other.”; “No man fails who does his best.”; “A will finds a way.”

Encouraged by Marden, I scribbled several New Year’s “Not To’s”: I resolved not to talk about myself, but listen to others; not to squander money; not to stop taking morning walks; not to continue being an old dog reluctant to learn new tricks; not to worry instead of praying; not to miss church on Sundays. Not to … not to … not to — so many I almost resolved not to make any resolutions!

That is, until the woman appeared. I had seen her several times during my predawn constitutionals. Old, shriveled, in clothes worn out with care, a hood covering her head, bent over a

cane, she searched for coins anywhere others might have dropped them — in parking lots, along sidewalks, in public telephone change slots.

I always ignored her, but it was the season of giving. Would I continue being Scrooge? No! I strode up to her, extended a $20 bill, and said, “Happy New Year, Ma’am.”

Clutching the money to her breast in trembling hands, she raised her head, and from within the ragged hood’s black void, a smile that probably had not shone for years appeared, and I heard a tender, emotionstrangled voice say, “Oh, Mister, thank you, thank you so very much.”

As I watched her fade into the lonely darkness, I sensed a level of peace in my soul that I have rarely known.

I tore up my long list of New Year’s resolutions and replaced it with a single promise to myself: Face each new day resolving not to pass up opportunities to make it a happy one for a fellow human being.

Strolling homeward, I recalled a few lines penned by American poet Emily Dickinson: If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.

If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

much in the name of freedom.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Michael Walston, of Rancho, New Mexico, said, “This little reminder is something we as service members appreciate, with our busy schedules of work and deployments. We often forget to appreciate ourselves for what we accomplish day in and day out.”

The Shiloh crew is thankful for all of the heartfelt words sent to them from home during this holiday season and hopes to continue receiving letters for years to come.

Shiloh is forward deployed to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations in support of security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

In February, many Crossroads residents began asking the same question that is still being asked, “where’s Harper?”

The stray dog lived at the corner of Harper Road and Proper Street for more than 10 years, escaping many attempted captures and close calls with oncoming traffic.

Presumed to have been taken, residents started asking, who could have taken Harper and why?

What exactly happened to Corinth’s most famous canine remains a mystery to this day.

• Agent, suspect dies in shootout A domestic situation quickly turned into a six-hour standoff in mid-February.

Charles Lee Lambert exchanged gunfire with Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agents after Lambert refused to let his wife and 10-year-old daughter leave their Iuka residence.

In the shootout, Lambert and 22year veteran MBN agent Lee Tartt were killed. In addition, three state troopers were also wounded.

Lambert’s wife and daughter were rescued without injury.

• Corinth ‘Peace’ Department A Brandon family praised the Corinth Police Department following an overnight break-in of their vehicle in the Holiday Inn Express parking lot in August.

Although nothing was taken from their vehicle, the Weikleenget family used the scary incident and “joyful” experience with Corinth police as a chance to teach

their two-year-old daughter about the importance of law enforcement.

Officers continued to “check on” the family during the rest of their stay in the Crossroads. The family started calling local law enforcement the Corinth “peace” officers and posted a thank you on Facebook that was shared across the state.

• Former sheriff enters guilty plea Former sheriff Charles Rinehart and two others entered guilty pleas to two counts of conspiracy to defraud and two counts of fraud against Alcorn County in early December.

Rinehart entered an Alford plea in which the defendant pleads guilty but does not admit to the criminal act. The case deals with vehicle purchases for the sheriff’s department from Pamela Denise Null and Teddy Cleveland Null.

The three were sentenced to 20 years but were placed in the house arrest program as an alternative to incarceration.

• District closes two schools Emotions ran high in March when Alcorn School District officials voted to close the county’s two smallest schools.

Superintendent of Education Larry B. Mitchell said the closing would save the district more than $700,000 per year.

Both Glendale and Rienzi elementary schools closed for good in May. Students at each school were sent to Biggersville, Alcorn Central and Kossuth.

The 3-2 vote by the school board also caused board president Carrol Morton to resign.

• Harper Square to get revamp Arts and crafts retail giant Hobby Lobby will soon call Corinth home.

In August, Southeast Real Estate Development Group announced its intention to purchase Harper Square Mall, demolish portions of the old structure and construct a new building for Hobby Lobby.

Little Ceasars will also get a new, freestanding location.

For the Daily Corinthian

An aspiring nurse has already started her life’s goal of helping the less fortunate with an immediate focus on aiding the homeless population in Jackson, Tenn.

Anna Collins, a 2014 graduate of McNairy Central High School, was inspired recently to begin “Blessing Bags” to give to help the homeless with basic necessities in life. Collins is a nursing student at Union University with plans to graduate in May 2018.

“My mom and I were shopping in Jackson when I noticed a homeless man,” said Collins. “I just knew that I had to do something to help him. He was alone on

Christmas Eve and that just got to me. I gave him $5 and that made me want to do more for him.”

Collins said the homeless population had been on heart since she was a child. She got the idea to do the “Blessing Bags” after her experience with the man on Christmas Eve. Her plan is to include in the bag items like socks, hygiene items, peanut butter, soap, wet wipes, hard candy, toothpaste and tooth brush, cheese & crackers, bottled water, soap, crackers, $5, plus loose change.

“You can put together a bag for a small amount of money and it will help them a great deal,” said Collins. “I also put a note card with a Bible verse Psalm

46:1 on it inside the bag.”

The note reads “Here’s a Blessing Bag for you! You may be down on your luck right now, but let this little bag remind you that you are worth so much.

There are people who care about you. There is always hope, and Jesus can sustain you. I will be praying for you! God Bless!”

The idea of the homeless problem in Jackson became clear to Collins while doing a feet clinical as part of her nursing study at Union.

Collins said she plans to keep five “Blessing Bags” in her car at a time to distribute when she spots someone in need.

“I just roll my window and give them the bag,” remarked

Collins. “I have never felt unsafe when trying to help someone.”

She made her initial post about the “Blessing Bags” on Facebook on Dec. 26 and the message quickly drew attention from her friends.

“I have gotten several comments on Facebook about the post and some have offered ideas on what you could put in the bag,” Collins said.

Lynn Hockaday, Collins’ aunt, was inspired by her niece and will began a similar ministry at Bethesda Presbyterian Church.

If you would like more information about the inspirational bags, you can contact Collins on Facebook or email her at annamargc@gmail.com.

New year means new state laws take effect

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

McNAIRY COUNTY, Tenn. — The beginning of another year means several new laws will take effect on Jan. 1 in McNairy County and throughout the state.

A new law will state that people convicted of vehicular homicide where alcohol or drugs were involved will be ineligible for parole starting in the New Year.

The sentencing will be harsher for those convicted of robbing a pharmacy to get a controlled substance. New sentence enhancement includes charges of

robbery, aggravated robbery and especially aggravated robbery.

There will be two new handgun permit laws. Those who are 18 to 20 years old who are active duty, retired or honorably discharged from the military will be allowed to apply for handgun permits. Tennessee residents must be at least 21 years old to get a carry permit for handguns, if they are not connected to the military.

Lifetime handgun permits will decrease in costs from $500 to $200.

Tennessee brewers will be allowed to make higher alcohol

content beers without a specialty license under a law that raises the alcohol by weight (ABW) limit to eight percent from five percent. The law allows the state’s grocery and convenience stores to sell high-gravity beers.

The new law increases the alcohol by volume (ABV) limit from about 6.2 percent to about 10.1 percent. This bill is being done to help the state’s craft beer industry.

A new law will increase the penalty for drivers without insurance to $300 from $100. Law enforcement will begin using an online tool to find out which

drivers are covered. Drivers who can’t show proof of insurance could also face a Class C misdemeanor.

Most high school seniors in the state will be required to pass a U.S. civics test before graduating. The test will have between 15-20 questions taken from the test given to those seeking citizenship in the country.

A senior can take the test as many times as necessary to pass.

The student must answer 70 percent of the questions right to pass. Some students in individualized education programs will not be required to take the test.

Corinth, Miss.

House GOP maintains unity through caucus meetings JACKSON — In Congress, they call it the Hastert rule — the idea that a majority of the majority party must approve of legislation before it comes to the floor. Maybe in Mississippi they will call it the Gunn Jeff Amy rule, because Republican House Speaker Philip Gunn’s Columnist practice of vetting legislation in Republican caucus meetings is altering the Legislature’s dynamics.

Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert said he didn’t invent the principle, saying it’s common sense that a legislative leader chosen by members of a particular party should generally avoid passing legislation against the party’s wishes.

But in the bygone world where all Mississippi lawmakers were Democrats, a party label meant almost nothing, and coalitions were assembled bill-by-bill. The polarized Legislature created by the ascendance of Republicans has led to more of a parliamentary system in the House, where Republicans feel pressure to vote in lockstep on key bills.

Nothing symbolized this change better than the decision to reorder the House’s electronic voting board at the start of the 2015 session, grouping Republicans and Democrats by party, instead of listing all members alphabetically. Before, it took close study of a voting tally sheet to see which members crossed party lines. Now it’s obvious in a glance.

Changes to these norms generated much screaming in the House. Old-line legislative norms said you didn’t mess with another lawmaker’s local affairs, but Republicans moved to transfer control of Jackson’s airports from a mayor-appointed board. Tradition said lawmakers could build leverage through the delaying tactic of forcing bills to be read, but Republicans cranked up a bill-reading machine to an unintelligible blur. House rules let aggrieved members vent through a speech called a point of personal privilege; Republicans killed it for three weeks over filibuster concerns before restoring it in modified form.

Debate inside closed caucus meetings helps maintain that united front. But the GOP-first principle makes it harder to pass legislation that needs at least some Democratic support.

That was most clearly illustrated last year as lawmakers considered whether to raise fuel taxes to fund roads and bridges. In the Senate, Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves cobbled together enough Democrats and Republicans to provide the 60 percent majority needed to pass a placeholder bill that could have allowed a more concrete proposal later. But in the House, Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Busby, R-Pascagoula, never found a proposal that won support.

With some GOP members committed to voting against tax increases no matter what, it was always obvious that any successful bill would need sizeable Democratic support in the House. But Democrats were so angry by that point that they were unlikely to support any significant Republican initiative.

How do Democrats feel? Listen to Preston Sullivan of Okolona, one of the more conservative Democrats remaining in the House, who used to sit next to Gunn: “My old desk mate, he don’t listen to me anymore. He thinks I’m the enemy, I guess.”

Rep. Rob Roberson, a Starkville Republican who returned to the House in 2015 after losing his previous seat in redistricting, said leading through the caucus is different than how things worked when Democrat Tim Ford was speaker and a small circle made decisions.

“The caucus is actually a wider opinion source than previous speakers used,” Roberson said.

But Roberson is also among members who’d like to see a less partisan spirit in the House.

“There’s a person behind that D or that R,” Roberson said.

Prayer for today Almighty God, may I understand that thou art in everything and that I cannot hide from thee, for thou boldest me though I know it not. Give me the desire, and help me to learn of thy laws, that I may know that even in the least of things, I have the liberty to obtain happiness by obeying them. Amen.

A verse to share Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. —Psalm 33:3

Americans no longer on the move Americans see themselves as people on the move.

When the going gets tough or when opportunity beckons, we get up and go. We move around a lot.

Actually, we don’t -- or don’t nearly so much as we used to. The percentage of Americans moving every year is less than half that of a half-century ago and down significantly since the 1990s.

Some of that decline is a response to the economic cycle. Contrary to widespread impression, mobility tends to decline in bad economic times. The Okies moving from the Dust Bowl to the Central Valley of California made a big impression in the 1930s because they were the exception, not the rule.

Most Americans stayed put and ate vegetables raised in their gardens, making do as best they could.

The vast movements to the western frontier had ended decades earlier, and farm-to-factory migration went on pause. Foreign immigration was almost nonexistent, even below the low quotas set in the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924.

Then, during World War II, Americans moved around a lot, serving in the military, working in defense plants, leaving behind farm counties whose population peaked in the 1940 census.

It became a habit. In the postwar years, millions of whites moved to California,

the golden state they had seen in the war and the movies, while one-third Michael of AmeriBarone can blacks moved from Columnist the segregated rural South to what they believed was “the promised land” of northern industrial cities.

You can see in the statistics similar movement away from the Rust Belt in response to factory closings during the recessions of 1979-83. Laid-off autoworkers in Detroit bought copies of the Sunday Houston Chronicle to scan help wanted ads. Steelworkers in Pittsburgh and coal miners in West Virginia rented UHauls for points south and west.

You haven’t seen similar mobility in the slow-growth years of this century. There is heavy domestic outmigration from high-cost, high-immigration metro New York, Chicago and Los Angeles to the interior. But people in the Rust Belt have been staying put.

To understand why, read Ron Bailey’s riveting Dec. 10 article for Reason, titled “Stuck,” about his family’s ancestral home in McDowell County, West Virginia. It was the nation’s No. 1 coalproducing county in 1950,

when the Baileys left. Many others did, too; McDowell County’s population declined from 98,000 in 1950 to 22,000 in 2010.

But few people are leaving now -- even though those who remain are in miserable shape. McDowell County has the lowest male life expectancy of any American county, and it has a high percentage of heroin addiction. Only about half of children are raised in twoparent families.

It also has a very high dependency on government.

As Bailey reports, nearly 47 percent of personal income comes from Social Security, disability insurance (some 9 percent of West Virginia adults get disability payments), food stamps and other federal programs. McDowell County is a prime example of the dysfunctional communities that have caused the increase, identified by economists Angus Deaton and Anne Case, in mortality rates of middleaged white Americans.

Government benefits, even federal benefits, are not readily transferable and tend to keep beneficiaries stuck in place. They often can’t obtain jobs in growth areas because of occupational licensing laws or drug testing, and they aren’t interested in competing for jobs with low-wage immigrants jammed into expensive housing in coastal

metro areas.

Labor market economic theory posits that workers will move to jobs. But history teaches that mobility is not just a matter of economic calculation. For most people, staying put is the default mode. They only move to pursue dreams or escape nightmares.

And they don’t move where they think they are not wanted. Only 2 million black and white Southerners moved to the higherpay North between 1865 and 1940, even as 30 million European immigrants streamed there. Southerners considered the North a nightmarishly alien territory; Europeans sought escape from the nightmare of second-class status in multiethnic empires.

The World War II experience convinced a generation or two of Americans that they could realize their dreams by getting up and going. But the war ended 71 years ago, and the postwar years are dimming in the rearview mirror. Some Americans are still on the move. But many are stuck in nightmare settings that they seem unable to escape.

Michael Barone is a senior political analyst for the Washington Examiner, resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and longtime co-author of The Almanac of American Politics.

Random thoughts on looking back Any honest man, looking back on a very long life, must admit -- even if only to himself -- being a relic of a bygone era. Having lived long enough to have seen both “the greatest generation” that fought World War II and the gratingest generation that we see all around us today, makes being a relic of the past more of a boast than an admission.

Not everything in the past was admirable. Poet W.H. Auden called the 1930s “a low dishonest decade.”

So were the 1960s, which launched many of the trends we are experiencing so painfully today. Some of the fashionable notions of the 1930s reappeared in the 1960s, often using the very same discredited words and producing the same disastrous consequences.

The old are not really smarter than the young, in terms of sheer brainpower.

It is just that we have already made the kinds of mistakes that the young are about to make, and we have already suffered the consequences that the young are going to suffer, if they dis-

regard the record of the past.

If you want to understand the fatal Thomas dangers facSowell ing America today, read Columnist “The Gathering Storm”

by Winston Churchill. The book is not about America, the Middle East or nuclear missiles. But it shows Europe’s attitudes and delusions -- aimed at peace in the years before the Second World War -- which instead ended up bringing on that most terrible war in all of human history.

Black adults, during the years when I was growing up in Harlem, had far less education than black adults today -- but far more common sense. In an age of artificial intelligence, too many of our schools and colleges are producing artificial stupidity, among both blacks and whites.

The first time I traveled across the Atlantic Ocean, as the plane flew into the

skies over London I was struck by the thought that, in these skies, a thousand British fighter pilots fought off Hitler’s air force and saved both Britain and Western civilization. But how many students today will have any idea of such things, with history being neglected in favor of politically correct rhetoric?

You cannot live a long life without having been forced to change your mind many times about people and things -- including in some cases, your whole view of the world. Those who glorify the young today do them a great disservice, when this sends inexperienced young people out into the world cocksure about things on which they have barely scratched the surface.

In my first overseas trip, I was struck by blatantly obvious differences in behavior among different groups, such as the Malays and the Chinese in Malaysia -- and wondered why scholars who were far more well-traveled than I was seemed not to have noticed such things, and to have resorted to all

sorts of esoteric theories to explain why some groups earned higher incomes than others.

There are words that were once common, but which are seldom heard any more.

The phrase “none of your business” is one of these.

Today, everything seems to be the government’s business or the media’s business. And the word “risque” would be almost impossible to explain to young people, in a world where gross vulgarity is widespread and widely accepted.

The first column I ever wrote, 39 years ago, was titled “The Profits of Doom.”

This was long before Al Gore made millions of dollars promoting global warming hysteria. Back in 1970, the prevailing hysteria was the threat of a new ice age -- promoted by some of the same environmentalists who are promoting global warming hysteria today.

Sentencing to begin in slayings

BY MEG KINNARD Associated Press

CHARLESTON, S.C. — After a judge ruled Monday that Dylann Roof is competent to represent himself, the same jury that last month unanimously found him guilty

in the slayings of nine black parishioners at a South Carolina church will return to court to begin contemplating his punishment.

With the 22-year-old representing himself, the process is sure to be unconventional. But even if Roof is sentenced to death, it’s highly unlikely he’d be executed anytime soon.

While prosecutors plan to call up to 38 people related to the nine people killed and three who survived the June 2015 slaughter during Bible study at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, Roof said last week he plans on calling no witnesses and presenting no evidence.

Roof was found guilty last month on 33 federal charges, including hate crimes and obstruction of the practice of religion. A jury took less than three hours to return its verdict, and a judge dismissed the jury for a break over the holidays.

Typically in what’s known as the sentencing phase, defense attorneys call relatives and other witnesses to testify about their client’s unsteady state of mind before and during the crimes. Given that background, the defense hopes, a jury might be more likely to spare the defendant’s life and opt against the death penalty.

But Roof, who is acting as his own attorney, has said he plans to do no

WHAT GOD EXPECTS OF US We belong to God by right of creation. He made us in his own image and gave man priority over his animals and other things of creation.

Man is not worthy of this. The Psalmist said, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou has made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet... (Psalms 8:4-6).

We also belong to God by right of redemption, at such an awful cost! (I Corinthians 6: 19-20). In view of all of this, what does God have a right to expect of us?

He has a right to expect that we open our ears to his instructions. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches” (Revelation 2:11). We are to also take heed what we hear. Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given” (Mark 4:24). Also, “Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have” (Luke 8:18). We need to hear with open hearts ready to receive the truths God presents. He puts them there for our good and for our God expects that we shall have honest hearts with which to receive his word. “But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience” (Luke 8:15). We should want to do God’s will because it is right.

We should not be seeking to please men, nor to gain the favor of men, in our religious acts -- but to be pleasing to God. God expects whole hearted obedience. “But... ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness” (Romans 6:17, 18). We need to have the disposition, “Speak Lord thy servant heareth; command, and I will obey.” God’s word says it: we need to believe it, and that ought to settle it. We can rest assured that it is someone’s business what we do with our lives: It is God’s business! He holds us responsible for our actions (Romans 14:11, 12) And he will punish the evil doers (Romans 2:8, 9). God is glorified with fruit bearing (John 15:8). To bear fruit we must be in the vine, and abide in the vine (John 15: 1-6) This we do when we are good examples by reflecting the life of Jesus in our lives.

such thing.

In his journal, which was read in court during his trial, Roof said his doesn’t believe in psychology, which he called “a Jewish invention” that “does nothing but invent diseases and tell people they have problems when they don’t.”

Roof also seems to be determined to try to keep evidence embarrassing to him or his family out. Not only did he take over his own defense, but he asked the judge at a hearing last week if he could file a motion limiting what prosecutors can introduce.

Roof also was adamant that a transcript of a hearing where he was found mentally competent not be released to the public.

Obama entering the end of tenure

BY JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — His last vacation behind him, President Barack Obama is entering the closing stretch of his presidency, an eleventh-hour push to tie up loose ends and put finishing touches on his legacy before handing the reins to President-elect Donald Trump.

Obama returned to Washington midday Monday from Hawaii with less than three weeks left. His final days will largely be consumed by a bid to protect his endangered health care law, a major farewell speech and the ongoing handover of power to Trump.

In an email to supporters on Monday, Obama said his valedictory speech on Jan. 10 follows a tradition set in 1796 when the first president, George Washington, spoke to the American people for the last time in office. The speech will take place at McCormick Place, a giant convention center in Obama’s hometown of Chicago.

Secret baptism for baby is scheme that’s all wet D E A R ABBY: My niece has a 1-year-old son. Neither my niece nor the baby’s father is reAbigail ligious, and have Van Buren they chosen not to have the Dear Abby baby baptized.

My sister, the baby’s grandmother, while not wanting to impose her beliefs on the parents, comes from a generation when even couples who were not demonstrably religious usually had their baby baptized.

I know it would comfort my sister to know this ancient ceremony had been performed. Since my sister watches the little boy at her house, would it be wrong for us to organize an informal baptism -- just holy water and a couple of prayers?

We don’t feel we need to have an officiant of any religion present and, of course, we would not tell the baby’s parents. Would this be appropriate? -- MORTIFIED IN MONTANA DEAR MORTIFIED: No, it would not. If you were sure that it would be, you wouldn’t have written to me about it. My ad-

vice is not to do ANYTHING like this behind the parents’ backs, because if you do, there will be hell to pay. Consider this: Not all denominations baptize their members as infants.

DEAR ABBY: Please post my message for people to be more considerate and nonjudgmental about their “help.” I am a housekeeper by choice. I have office skills, massage therapy skills and many talents, but I have noticed that clients seem to have a preconceived idea of who I am.

I am not someone who is money-driven. I am also not uneducated. I am a person who enjoys helping others, no matter what I may be doing. What I do for a living is not who I am.

I have been treated disrespectfully. People who have housekeepers -- beware. We “might” be doing a sociological study on how people treat the help. Wasn’t there a movie about that? Be kind to each other, people! -- THE HELP DEAR HELP: What you have experienced isn’t a problem faced only by housekeepers. It is something that many service industry workers encounter all too often.

Perhaps it happens because some people were never taught that inside the uniform is a per-

son with real feelings, and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect.

DEAR ABBY: After a year together, my boyfriend recently proposed. We plan to wed in two years.

During this time, he intends to move into my home so we can save for the wedding. My parents, however, are completely against our living together before we get married.

Abby, I’m 30 years old and so is my fiance. I own my own home and my boyfriend currently rents. My parents are very traditional and may not help with the wedding if we move in together. We can’t afford to pay for much if we don’t do it and save.

On top of that, we are excited to start our lives together. Do I honor my parents’ wishes or do what I feel is right for me and my fiance? -- ROCK AND A HARD PLACE DEAR ROCK AND A HARD PLACE: You and your fiance are both 30, which means you are well into adulthood. Don’t you think it’s time for you both to start becoming and thinking like independent adults? By that I mean deciding which is more important to you -- living your lives the way your parents want, or the way you want.

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Feel scattered? Think of it as a prolonged state of brainstorming. You’re searching for one small new thing to add to your life to brighten your mood and enhance the impression you make on the world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Some of the good questions have answers. But most of them just hang their, ripe, overhead and will continue to do so for many lifetimes, scenting the air with their sweetness, drawing our imaginations up and up and up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Give yourself a wide margin for error. You won’t need it, but this will keep you at the low stress level that allows for maximum poise and charisma to spare.

You’ll like whom this attracts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Laughter usually bonds people, but be aware that it can also alienate people. Not everyone has your stellar sense of humor, especially when it comes to kidding that’s a little too close for home. Sensitivity required.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). From Hitchcock to Shakespeare, the best storytellers know to leave the most intense scenes off the stage and let the audience fill in the blanks with imagination.

You’ll benefit from doing the same. Say nothing. Let them fill in the blanks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The social technology that is supposed to facilitate human connection often has the opposite effect, drawing us into a social fantasy while we ignore those who actually exist at an arm’s length. Don’t let it happen to you and yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Greatness and inner strength go hand in hand. You develop it the same way you do physical strength -- by doing hard things over and over. It’s why you choose to stick to this job until it’s done.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The animals have an effect on you, and you’ll be more keenly aware of this. Whether you care for an animal or just admire the natural world, you’ll be enriched

by other lifeforms today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Being in control of a small part of your environment will make you feel in control of your whole world. To extend the idea, what you do for your body, you’ll do for your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When it comes to “getting over it,” there’s no time limit.

Take as long as you need. Just know that until you’re “over it,” it will be hard to get “on with it,” so it’s in your own best interest not to wallow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The concept of one person not being good enough for another person is truly false.

There are better matches and worse matches, but no one is inherently better than anyone else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Life doesn’t usually offer closure in any kind of neat form.

Endings often aren’t. And even when they are, they can be so long and drawn out, you might as well say “so long” instead of “goodbye.”

What does the future hold?

My, oh my, how time does fly.

Weren’t we just in 2016 and talking about how things are gonna be different in 2017?

Well, here’s our chance to do something good and not just talk about it.

Before I go any further I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement so far Kent in my journey Mohundro here as your sports editor.

Sports Editor In a job like this there will always be people who are upset or miserable for some reason and wanna take it out on me.

That’s fine because I understand how we humans are made up. How you feel about something depends largely on the events that are happening in your life. I have bad

Kent’s Corner days just like everyone else, but I try not to let it affect the way I speak to or treat the people around me.

And that includes family.

Many of you have emailed and called me to voice your support and let me know that you understand the job I have to do here in sports practically by myself. I’m hoping- in fact we’re all hoping- that the future will deliver a second person here in this department, but for now it’s just plain old me.

Several of you have been helpful in supplying what we refer to as art for the sports section. In simple terms, there called photograph’s.

Since I can’t be in two places at once (that would be cool though) sometimes it helps to have good amateur photographers that can send in an occasional picture of game action from their particular

school.

I’m also at the debt of area coaches and others who supply us with game information from each area contest. Whether it’s football, basketball, soccer, softball, baseball or whatever: you all come through almost every time. There are times when circumstances make it difficult to communicate. Several times I’ve been on the phone or texting a contact that is attempting to send in game information when the signal goes out due to lack of cell service wherever they might be.

Sometimes it’s just a lack of a scorekeeper for a particular game. It’s really difficult to get game inforamtion without a scorekeeper.

Here’s the bottom line.

We’re all building relationships and getting to know each other and that, my friends, takes time.

I don’t know how you feel

about it, but I know there are things I need to get better at to make 2017 an even better year than 2016. And they’re novel things that we work on every year to try and make ourselves better individuals and members of society.

Our newly-elected president says “it’s time we all come together as one united people and make America great again.”

That’s a noble and worthy thought but what are we as individuals gonna do to make this a better country and community?

The number one issue I believe standing in our way right now is frustration. We are a frustrated bunch of people. And that stems from a number of different issues that plague our society.

And don’t fool yourself into thinking it doesn’t trickle down into the sports comPlease see CORNER | 9

Appleby shines, Florida beats Iowa in Outback Bowl

BY FRED GOODALL Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — Austin Appleby threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns, helping No. 20 Florida end a two-game losing streak with a 30-3 rout of No. 21 Iowa in the Outback Bowl on Monday.

Mark Thompson scored on an 85-yard pass play in the first half and Appleby, a graduate transfer who spent the past four seasons at Purdue, tossed a 6-yard TD pass to DeAndre Goolsby to

break the game open late in the third quarter. Chauncey Gardner, Jr., returned the first of his two fourth-quarter interceptions 58 yards for a 24-3 lead.

Florida (9-4) rebounded from lopsided losses to archrival Florida State and No. 1 Alabama, scoring more points on Iowa (8-5) than the Hawkeyes allowed to Michigan, Illinois and Nebraska combined while ending the regular season on a threegame winning streak.

Iowa’s C.J. Beathard led an early field goal drive, and managed to get his team close to the end zone on two other occasions. Florida’s defense stiffened both times, stopping the Hawkeyes on downs at the Gator 3 in the second quarter and forcing them to settle for a 30-yard field goal that sailed wide right midway through the third quarter.

Appleby, who actually began his career at Purdue against Iowa, shrugged off throwing interceptions on

Florida’s first two drives of the day to finish 14 of 25 passing.

Akrum Wadley ran for 115 yards, giving Iowa a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time. The junior finished with 1,081, and LeShun Daniels wound up with 1,058 after gaining 45 Monday.

Broncos coach Gary Kubiak officially steps down

BY ARNIE STAPLETON Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Eighteen years after Gary Kubiak tried to talk John Elway out of retiring, the roles were reversed.

The result was the same.

“He put up his hand and said, ‘Remember when you did that to me?” Elway recounted. “I said, ‘Yeah, OK.’” With that, Kubiak, 55, left the NFL pressure cooker

over season-long health concerns, stepping down from his dream job Monday with two years left on his contract, a grateful family and a Super Bowl 50 ring.

In 1999, Elway’s knees were shot after leading Denver to back-to-back Lombardi Trophies, so when Mike Shanahan dispatched his offensive coordinator to try to change his quarterback’s mind, Elway told Kubiak not

to waste his breath but to have a seat and chase some beers with him instead.

Their paths crossed again two years ago when Elway, now the Broncos GM, lured Kubiak back to Denver a little more than a year after Kubiak had suffered a ministroke and collapsed at halftime of a game while coaching the Houston Texans.

Kubiak had another health scare in October when he

suffered a complex migraine and had to take a week off work. He lightened his load for a while but he’s just not wired that way. Anyway, Kubiak said that was just one episode in a season-long grind that convinced him it’s time to move on.

“I’m doing great, I’m OK,” he said at a news conference where he choked up several Please see KUBIAK | 9

Wisconsin defeats Western Michigan in Cotton Bowl

BY STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Wisconsin tight end Troy Fumagalli made a leaping 8-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter and the Badgers won 24-16 in the Cotton Bowl on Monday to deny Western Michigan an undefeated season.

The TD catch by Fumagalli with 12:26 left, in the back of the end zone between two

defenders, came three plays after a rare interception thrown by Zach Terrell and made it 24-10.

With their “Row The Boat” mentality inspired by young head coach P.J. Fleck, the 12th-ranked Broncos (13-1) made it from one win during his first season in Kalamazoo three years ago to the last FBS team other than No. 1 Alabama this season with a chance to be undefeated.

“Told them I was very proud of them, how much I love them, and the effort they gave,” Fleck said about what he told his team on the sideline just before the end of the game. “We will continue to learn from this. We will embrace our past to create our future, and it just wasn’t enough tonight.”

Eighth-ranked Wisconsin (11-3), which finished with 11 wins for the fourth time

in seven seasons, was clearly bigger and stronger — especially up front. The Big Ten runner-up Badgers set the tone early, with rushing touchdowns on their first two drives to take a 14-0 lead against the Group of Five team.

Fumagalli had several other highlight catches, including a one-handed 20-yard Please see COTTON | 9

munity.

I may step on some toes and some hearts here, but I am personally sick of the attitude some athletes have taken towards our country and at the playing of the national anthem.

I don’t have to name names on this subject: goodness knows we’re all aware of the main players in this arena. But what are we teaching our young people in general when we allow such actions and behaviors to go unpunished?

White, Black, Mexican, Indian, Asian, European..if you live in America you need to support it: end of story. You don’t have to like certain things about our government.

Heaven knows there are many things our government does that I don’t agree with. But I am an American and I am bound to support my country as long as I am a citizen here. Sadly, many feel they have the right to trample on our country and everything it stands for, including our freedoms.

But when you abuse the freedom of speech and trample on everything our forefathers fought and died for- in-

Basketball National Basketball Association

cluding ‘Old Glory- you have gone too far.

There is enough stress and strife in our world already to drag us down.

My hope is that this year- whether you’re at a sporting event or concert or some other venue- make it a point to be positive and do your best to tame your attitude and your tongue. I have to work on it every day. If we can all develop a more positive attitude about life in general, our kids will see that and- trust me- it’ll have a positive effect down the road as they continue to grow into adulthood.

It’s ok to bark at a referee over a what we thought was a bad call.

Just don’t let it become personal and allow that kind of attitude to saturate your life where it affects everyone around you. This is by no means an exhaustive list of the issues but it’s enough for now.

I definitely look forward to an exciting year in 2017 as we all work together to make this a better country, and a better sports community.

Sportsmanship is essential to a positive future.

Let’s make it happen this year.

be looking at having to replace at least three stalwarts on defense — tackle Caleb Brantley and cornerbacks Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson — who are expected to leave school early to enter the NFL draft. Linebacker Alex Anzalone and defensive back Duke Dawson also are considering turning pro.

Iowa: Like Florida’s Tabor and Wilson, cornerback Desmond King is a likely high NFL draft pick. He won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back as a junior and was just as good this year, though

opponents’ reluctance to throw his way — three interceptions this season vs. eight in 2015 — may have hurt his chances to win the award again as a senior. The Hawkeyes will also lose quarterback C.J. Beathard, who finished his career 21-7 as a starter.

TURNING POINT Beathard directed the best drive of the game by either team, moving Iowa from its own 36 to inside the Florida 10 with help from runs of 27 yards by Akrum Wadley and 11 yards by LeShun Daniels, plus an 18-yard pass to tight end George Kittle on third-and-14 from the Gators 28.

times. “But coaching is a very demanding business, a tough business and I’ve struggled bigtime this year. I’m going to find something else to do.” And Elway will find another coach, his third in his six seasons as GM. Kubiak summoned Elway to his hotel room in Kansas City on Christmas Eve, 24 hours before the Broncos (9-7) would get bounced from the playoff chase just 11 months after winning it all.

“He said I want to talk to you as a friend, not my boss. And that’s how we talked,” Elway said,

adding that he wasn’t surprised when Kubiak told him he was going to step down after the season whether or not they made the playoffs.

“I can’t tell you how many times I thought about putting my boss hat back on and put my selling process back in there so we could try to make it work,” Elway said. Players were disheartened to say goodbye to Kubiak but expressed confidence in Elway finding the right replacement.

“He’s the king of the comeback, on and off the field,” linebacker Von Miller said.

grab on the Badgers’ opening drive, and a 26-yard catch to convert third-and-8 as they ran out the final 3:27 after Western Michigan scored.

Terrell combined with All-America receiver Corey Davis for 51 career touchdowns, tying the FBS record on an 11-yarder on fourth down with 3:27 left.

Even with cornerback Sojourn Shelton’s arms wrapped around him in the back of the end zone, Davis broke free to make the catch.

“It doesn’t matter if the defender is grabbing you or whatever it is. Go make a play on the ball if

it’s in the air, and go attack it,” said Davis, the FBS career leader in receiving yards and likely first-round NFL draft pick in April.

“My four years at Western have been phenomenal. We’ve been through so much and I’ve learned so many lessons on the field, and off the field.”

Terrell had 33 touchdowns and only four interceptions this season, the last pick by Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Edwards.

“It kind of left a bad taste in our mouth after the Big Ten championship game,” Edwards said. “We just wanted to get back out there and prove ourselves again.”

Kelly, McCoy, Baalke latest to feel the NFL ax

BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

Bono and the guys in U2 are big football fans, as in soccer.

So when they sang about “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and “New Year’s Day,” they had no intention of describing the end of the 2016 NFL season.

Yet, the firings of Chip Kelly and Trent Baalke in San Francisco, Mike McCoy in San Diego, and the resignation of Gary Kubiak for health reasons in Denver certainly rang true to those rock classics.

Usually, the axings take place the day after the regular season concludes. Except, of course, for the teams in a rush to get into the personnel market extra early, which in ‘16 were the Jaguars (Gus Bradley), Rams (Jeff Fisher) and Bills (Rex Ryan).

On Sunday, while other franchises were scrambling to make the playoffs or improve their postseason standing, the coaching carousel spun wildly in California. With Fisher already canned in Los Angeles, Kelly and McCoy became unemployed within an hour of each other.

Both moves were predictable, as was the release of Baalke, whose success as a GM with the 49ers now, it’s clear, was dependent on how Jim Harbaugh molded and improved the players Baalke gave him. Baalke won a power struggle with Harbaugh, who headed to Michigan. The Niners became historically bad without him, and Baalke’s choice of Kelly to work with such a weak roster looks worse than hiring caretaker Jim Tomsula after Harbaugh left. At least Tomsula went 5-11, three more victories than Kelly managed.

Indeed, his only wins in a 2-14 record came against the Rams, so maybe LA owner Stan Kroenke will turn to Kelly.

Don’t count on it.

“Despite my feelings for Trent and Chip, I felt the decision to change our football leadership was absolutely necessary,” 49ers CEO Jed York said in a statement. “The performance of this team has not lived up to my expectations or those of our fans, and that is truly disappointing. We all expected to see this team progress and develop as

the season went on, but unfortunately that did not happen. That is why now is the time to find a new direction for this team.”

The new direction for the Chargers looks like it will be north a bit to become a tenant of Kroenke and the Rams in the new Inglewood, California palace that will open in a few years.

McCoy’s team lost its last five games and finished second for two straight seasons in the tough AFC West. Injuries tore it apart, too, but with the focus on whether the Chargers would move to LA, it was hard to judge what kind of job McCoy was doing.

Apparently Chargers chairman Dean Spanos wants a totally fresh start when the club abandons its long-time home.

Which means both of the new teams in Los Angeles, which was without the NFL since 1995 until the Rams moved back last year, will be riding the coaching carousel.

More moves could be coming, too. Is Chuck Pagano safe in Indianapolis? Might the Saints do something with Sean Payton? What about Bears

coach John Fox? Safe for another year are Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan, who the Jets are bringing back.

And Cleveland coach Hue Jackson, despite a 1-15 record. And Marvin Lewis despite the meltdown in Cincinnati.

The saddest news comes from Denver.

Never was there a question about Gary Kubiak returning after leading the Broncos to their Super Bowl win last February. But Kubiak’s health issues forced him to step aside, disappointing fans, players and John Elway alike.

“We love Kube, we love how he treated us,” said cornerback Aqib Talib.

“We pray he gets healthy.”

Denver won’t have any trouble filling Kubiak’s spot. One of the hot candidates, for example, is Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, son of Mike Shanahan, who coached Elway to two Super Bowl championships.

Given how well Kubiak fit in the Broncos’ family, such a hire makes a lot of sense.

Then again, sensibility isn’t always a criteria in NFL coaching circles.

Living independently should be enjoyed WIZARD OF ID

DILBERT

GARFIELD

FORT KNOX

PICKLES

Dear Annie: I moved out and started living on my own several years ago, and I have fallen in love with living independently.

However, over the years, my parents’ insistence that I move back near home has increased.

Despite being only an hour away by plane (about 300 miles), they insist that I “need to be within driving distance in case anything happens.”

My parents are both still working and by no means need to be cared for.

If they do need to be cared for when they’re older, I will probably move back closer to them. I’m an only child.

But right now, the guilt tripping is getting out of hand, and it makes me enjoy my phone calls with them less.

Lately, I don’t feel like calling them much, but that bums me out, too.

How do I let my parents know that I need to be on my own without hurting their feelings? — Child Forever Dear Child: As annoying as it might be, you will always be their little girl, and I’m sure they are just missing you.

Don’t let them make you feel guilty.

You might point out to them that they did

Dear Annie such a great job raising you that you have the self-confidence to live independently and start your own life.

You’re only 300 miles away — which, by the way, is driving distance — so perhaps plan a few more trips home this year.

And who knows?

If you decide to have kids someday, you might want to be close to home so Grandma and Grandpa can help with baby-sitting.

Dear Annie: This is in response to last month’s letter from “Dog Lover,” who wants to get another dog but can’t because his wife has refused.

I can understand the wife’s position.

I have been married for over 53 years and have had many cats and dogs as pets in the household.

Granted, I have been the one to bring them home, but I have also been the one who has done all the caretaking.

My animals have always been trained and well-treated.

My husband has en-

joyed them all but has never put the time in. I have to do the work necessary to have a healthy, happy pet.

A dog is like a child.

Someone has to train it (which most people don’t even know how to do) feed it, give it quality time, clean up after it, take it to see a doctor, be prepared to expend large amounts of money on it if necessary, groom it, keep it clean and, most of all, love it like a family member.

Many people get pets and then, after a while, totally drop the ball, ignoring or even abusing it.

Then it’s off to the pound or thrown out of a car on a back road.

I suggest that this man volunteer at a shelter.

When the right animal comes along, he can invite his wife to meet it, and they can decide together whether they want the responsibility of a pet and discuss who would be responsible for what.

If they decide together it’s the right thing to do for them, then they can give a needy furry friend a home.

All my pets have been rescue animals, and they have all been wonderful family pets. — Mary Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
