Deep freeze: Crossroads area braces for arctic blast

BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A powerful arctic front moving into the area this weekend is forecasted to usher in extreme, single digit temperatures. Now is the time to prepare the home for what could be some of the

coldest air in years.

Low temperatures are forecast to drop into the single digits with wind chills below zero across much of the area. For Sunday, the high is predicted to be 41, with a low Sunday night of 9. Monday’s high is

forecast for 17 with a low of 5.

Temperatures are likely to remain around or below freezing through Wednesday.

“The most important thing is to leave the water running in all sinks in the house,” said Jason Roach, owner of Roach

Plumbing and Electrical. “Even at a trickle … this helps prevent pipes from freezing especially in older homes.”

The 23-year veteran of the business said leaving the cabinet doors open under the sink is also a good idea. “Normally

James Everett Dutschke Ricin letter suspect

Suspect in ricin case responds to lawsuit

tive director of Crosswind.

Homelessness has many faces.

It can strike anyone at anytime.

For Capps, the damage cuts much deeper and resonates with him at a different level.

Ricin letter suspect James Everett Dutschke describes himself as an “incarcerated pauper” and victim of harassment by former suspect Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth in his answer to the civil suit filed by Curtis.

Dutschke’s court filings, in which he denies mailing the tainted letters, are handwritten because he is financially unable to hire an attorney while he is held in custody awaiting trial in the federal case against him stemming from letters mailed to President Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland. He is represented by an appointed public defender in the criminal case.

Dutschke, who is accused of framing Curtis, describes the lawsuit as a “guerrilla legal attack against a penniless inmate” and “simply a continuation of the plaintiff’s long-time persecution of the defendant using this court as his latest weapon.”

In the suit, Curtis accuses Dutschke of defamation of character, intentional infliction of emotional distress and intentional interference with a business relationship. He seeks damages as determined by a jury.

In addition to the answer to the complaint filed by Curtis in September in Alcorn County Circuit Court, Dutschke has recently filed an answer to request for admissions and a motion for summary judgment.

Dutschke says in the filings that he has no assets beyond the notepad and pen with which he writes.

“There are simply no deep pockets here for Paul Kevin Curtis or his attorney to tap,” Dutschke writes in the motion for judgment. “I have no attachable assets.”

He says government interference closed his bank account and kept him from renewing his insurance licenses, eliminating all insurance residuals from existing clients.

He claims Curtis’ civil suit is sinister in timing and “clearly designed to interfere with the criminal case, ripe with the intent to further harass the defendant.”

While Curtis contends that Dutschke’s actions caused him loss of income by harming his ability to work as a celebrity impersonator, Dutschke argues that Social Security disability payments are Curtis’ primary source of income. He jests at the notion that statements he made are “the cause of his continued unemployment in the booming celebrity impersonator marketplace in Corinth …”

Dutschke writes that he never attempted to sabotage Curtis’ business relationships by contacting venues.

“I contend that would be impossible,” he states, “even if one had the desire to, since he was never scheduled to perform anywhere to begin with.”

Awareness luncheon spotlights plight of homeless

BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com

Somewhere in our city, a heart has been shattered.

A soul has grown tired of fighting for the necessities that others have taken for granted.

They have known true hunger...pain...sickness...abuse... sorrow...neglect...defeat.

For the past three years, Crosswind has been committed to helping the hopeless through their ministry.

They have partnered with M.U.T.E.H (Mississippi United To End Homeless) in Jackson to conduct a comprehensive search for the homeless in our area.

An awareness luncheon

will be held at noon on Jan. 8 at Crosswind Ministries (located at 703 Tate Street) in order to spotlight the growing need in our area.

“Our goal is to end homelessness in Corinth. We want to invest in people, to take away their disgrace, and offer them grace instead,” affirmed Bobby Capps, execu-

First Day Hike Sixty-six hikers rang in the New Year at Tishomingo State Park participating in The First Day Hike. This is a national effort by Americas State Parks and The National Hiking Society to promote healthy lifestyles and year round recreation at state parks. There were over 400 hikes held in all 50 states. This is the second year Tishomingo State Park has participated. Following the hike the group gathered at the Lodge and were welcomed by a roaring fire, refreshments, and viewed college football games on a 70” HD television. Bill Brekeen, Park Manager, would like to thank the following individuals and businesses who made this event a success: Ferrell’s Home and Outdoors (Corinth), VHI Systems (Rick Slack family), Sunflower (Tishomingo), Triple D’s (Iuka), US Foods, and Gary Matthews (TCDF). Brekeen invites everyone to visit beautiful Tishomingo State Park and enjoy the plethora of outdoor recreational opportunities available.

“Justin was so excited … he smiled and he never smiles,” stated Savannah, 20, about her husbands first reaction to their new baby. “It was so cute.”

Justin, 23, whose friends call him Alex, first spotted his future bride while working at Roger’s Supermarket in 2008. The two quickly started dating under the watchful eye of Savannah’s preacher daddy. In June 2012, the two love birds were married. Justin moved to the coast where he worked as a wielder in a ship yard, while Savannah studied hard at becoming a nurse. She recently graduated from Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia. When Justin heard news of his new responsibty, he quit his job and raced home.

“We planned on having kids and planned on Liam, but it was still a surprise,” mused Justin. “I’m just happy he’s healthy and happy.”

The couple and their new baby were showered with hundreds of items once news broke about Liam being the first baby of 2014. From boxes of diapers and baby formula to baby clothes and gift cards to local resturants, the Rickman’s were quite humble about the gifts.

“We are truly thankful and really had no idea it would happen this soon,” said Savannah. “Last time I went to the doctor, she said it would be February before I was ready.”

With Liam’s birth, the Rickman family celebrates the fifth living generation, “my family is huge and I’m glad we were able to add another boy to it,” chuckled Justin.

Lawmaker to file registration bill The Associated Press

JACKSON — State Sen. David Blount, a Democrat from Jackson, is drawing up a bill for the 2014 Legislature to allow online voter registration.

The Legislature convenes at noon Tuesday.

Blount told The Clarion-Ledger that he doesn’t believe there will be widespread opposition because mail-in voter registration is allowed now.

Also, he said the new law requiring people to show a photo ID to vote should allay any concerns over online registration.

Voter ID will begin with the June 3 congressional primaries in Mississippi. People who don’t have acceptable photo identification after Jan. 1 can go to circuit clerk offices throughout the state to have a free photo ID made.

Although there is no statewide online voting registration, some counties, including Harrison, provide registration forms online. But the registration cannot be completed online.

As of August 2013, at least 13 states offered online registration and another six states had passed legislation to create online voter registration systems, according

the Washington D.C.based National Conference of State Legislatures.

Mississippi Republican Party Chairman Joe Nosef said he doesn’t know the details of Blount’s proposal, “so I can’t comment other than saying I believe our main concern would be online security.”

State Democratic Party Chairman Rickey Cole said the party supports Blount’s bill.

Ex-BP engineer: Juror misconduct tainted verdict The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Defense attorneys for a former BP engineer convicted of trying to obstruct a federal investigation of the company’s 2010 Gulf oil spill claimed Thursday that jurors engaged in misconduct that warrants a new trial.

Kurt Mix’s attorneys asked U.S. District Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. to throw out the jury’s Dec. 18 verdict convicting Mix

of one count of obstruction of justice for deleting text messages to and from a BP supervisor.

Mix’s lawyers said they interviewed jurors after the verdict and learned that one juror told the others during their deliberations about overhearing a conversation in a courthouse elevator that made that juror feel more comfortable about convicting Mix. Their court filing doesn’t specify the sub-

stance or possible source of the information that “Juror A” allegedly overheard in the elevator, but it says other jurors urged the person not to reveal any of those details.

“By doing so, Juror A directly injected into the jury room the idea that there existed powerful, additional proof of Mr. Mix’s guilt that had not formally been allowed into evidence but that Juror A had come to ob-

tain,” defense attorneys wrote. “It is difficult to imagine a more prejudicial scenario.”

Mix’s attorneys also said some jurors, during conversations outside the deliberation room, apparently engaged in “horse trading” that would ensure a split verdict. Jurors acquitted Mix of a second count of obstruction of justice for deleting a string of text messages with a BP contractor.

I have another brother who’s an addict,” Capps revealed.

“For me, it’s personal.

It motivates my heart and shapes me as a person. The soul falls into an entrapment and gets

so damaged. I don’t want it in my city,” said Capps with conviction.

Each year Crosswind receives roughly 100 applications from those seeking help.

Of those 100 applications, they have been able to host about 20 families a year.

According to Capps, the only people they won’t house are those with active addictions or hardcore mental health patients since they are not medically equipped to handle such individuals.

Instead, they get them the treatment they need first and then help them

find housing once they have recovered and been released from their facility.

“We never turn anyone away. As soon as a bed becomes available, we fill it,” says the executive director.

Crosswind conquers instability by providing, housing, food, and other essentials to those whom fate has dealt a disastrous hand.

They help people “clear up their rear-view mirrors” by providing them with the tools they need for success.

“We find them jobs, help them get their G.E.D, teach them to manage money

It is also important to bring all pets and animals inside during the cold snap. Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas with non-frozen drinking water.

“I’m going to get my livestock some extra bales of hay,” said Patrick Poindexter, Ag and Natural Resources Extension Agent with the MSU Extension Service office. “The hay is great for providing livestock with extra warmth and protection during cold weather.”

Poindexter also noted new born or sick animals should definitely be bought inside out of the elements.

The National Weather Service in Memphis is predicting the system to hit late Saturday night, with the extreme cold air settling across the Crossroads area Sunday night through Tuesday morning. Light snow flurries may make an appearance on Sunday.

Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little to no snow accumulation is expected.

Dutschke argues that Curtis’ income has, in fact, increased since the events of April.

Dutschke writes that he can only recall being in Curtis’ physical presence on three occasions, and each was cordial. He says he never participated in any online feud. However, he contends that Curtis in March and April “began a cyber bullying campaign, daily relentless online attacks both publicly and privately to defendant’s associates.”

As for the tainted missives with the reference to “Missing Pieces” and exposing a wrong, Dutschke denies any involvement in mailing the “K.C. letters.”

Mill closure could impact state The Associated Press

Today is Saturday, Jan. 4, the fourth day of 2014. There are 361 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight: On Jan. 4, 1964, Pope Paul VI began a visit to the Holy Land, the first papal pilgrimage of its kind.

On this date: In 1821, the first native-born American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, died in Emmitsburg, Md. In 1904, the Supreme Court, in Gonzalez v. Williams, ruled that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and could enter the United States freely; however, the court stopped short of declaring them U.S. citizens. (Puerto Ricans received U.S. citizenship in 1917.)

In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for legislation to provide assistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handicapped.

In 1943, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin appeared on the cover of Time as the magazine’s 1942 “Man of the Year.”

In 1944, Ralph Bunche became the first AfricanAmerican officer at the State Department as he was appointed to a post in the Near East and African Section.

In 1951, during the Korean War, North Korean and Communist Chinese forces recaptured the city of Seoul (sohl).

In 1960, author and philosopher Albert Camus died in an automobile accident in Villeblevin, France, at age 46.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union address in which he outlined the goals of his “Great Society.”

In 1974, President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee.

In 1989, in an incident reminiscent of a 1981 confrontation, two U.S. Navy F-14 fighters shot down a pair of Libyan MiG-23 fighters in a clash over international waters off the Libyan coast.

In 2007, Nancy Pelosi was elected the first female speaker of the House as Democrats took control of Congress.

Ten years ago: In Iowa, seven of the nine Democratic presidential hopefuls participated in a feisty, first debate of the election year.

Afghans approved a new constitution. Georgians overwhelmingly elected Mikhail Saakashvili president, two months after he’d led protests that forced Eduard Shevardnadze to step down.

Louisiana State University won college football’s Sugar Bowl, defeating Oklahoma 21-14.

TUPELO — Memphisbased International Paper Co.’s plan to shut its Courtland, Ala., paper mill next year may impact landowners and businesses across Northeast Mississippi.

Logging jobs may be lost or moved, and timber owners in some counties may find it difficult to market pulpwood at all.

Plans for the closure were announced on Sept.

11, and the process was expected to be completed sometime in the first three months of 2014.

Two of the mill’s four processors were shut down in November.

“The business group is still determining a schedule for final shutdown,” said IP spokeswoman Laura Gibson.

Among the considerations will be fulfilling existing customer orders.

The Courtland plant produces mostly uncoated papers used in business forms, envelopes, labels, copiers, printers along with coated maga-

zine papers.

“This decision to permanently close capacity is primarily being driven by demand decline for uncoated free-sheet paper products in the United States,” said IP Chairman and CEO John Faraci.

That segment of the paper market began declining in 1999 as online publications and electronic billing and filing replace many paper purposes.

James Henderson, associate extension professor at Mississippi State University specializing in forestry management, said the impact on pulpwood markets in this area will be substantial.

“I’ve heard that pulpwood prices are already down because of it,” he said.

Pulpwood is most often small-diameter poles harvested when pine plantations are thinned so the remaining trees can grow faster. Lesser quantities roughly onesixth of Mississippi’s production come from

small hardwood trees and tops. Pulpwood and residues from sawmilling and other timber processes serve as the fiber basis of most paper.

The Courtland IP plant, with an annual production capacity of 950,000 tons, has historically competed to buy Northeast Mississippi pulpwood with the Packaging Corporation of America plant in Counce, Tenn., which produced 1.056 million tons in 2012.

“Given the capacity of the IP mill, demand in part of north Mississippi will be cut by at least half,” Henderson said. “Also, the PCA mill in west Tennessee will tighten its procurement radius, as it no longer has to compete with IP for wood fiber in northeast Alabama.”

T.R. Watson Jr., a registered forester with Oxford-based Shiloh Creek Land, Timber and Wildlife Services said his company, which specializes in pine planta-

Mississippi Medicaid’s expansion unlikely in ’14

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi lawmakers appear unlikely to do an about-face and vote to expand Medicaid this year.

Leaders of the Republican-controlled House and Senate say they still oppose expansion of the program, even with the federal government paying most of the cost in the first few years. They’re backed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, who fears Mississippi could be stuck with a huge health care bill if the federal government backtracks on funding.

Many Democrats, as well as advocates for the working poor, say expanding Medicaid could bring billions of federal dollars to one of the poorest states in the nation, making health care more readily available and supporting jobs in hospitals and clinics.

Medicaid expansion is an option under the federal health overhaul President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010. Mississippi is among about two dozen states, led by Republican governors, that have rejected the expansion so far. Lawmakers here argued about it throughout the 2013 session, but nothing happened.

“It appears Obamacare is a debacle. I cannot believe anybody would continue to advance it,” House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, said in an interview about the

2014 session.

Sen. David Blount, DJackson, said Mississippi has “an opportunity to do something smart” by expanding Medicaid.

He said for a relatively small investment of state money, Mississippi could bring in billions of federal dollars to create jobs and improve health care.

“In the 2014 legislative session, I hope we can set aside the partisan politics, look at the dollars and cents,” Blount said.

In October, the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation released a study that shows 137,800 low-income Mississippians fall into a health insurance coverage gap and are uninsured. They earn too much to enroll in Medicaid but too little to qualify for government subsidies that would reduce their cost of buying private health insurance. The number represents 37 percent of uninsured Mississippi adults who are younger than 65. Mississippi has the highest percentage of residents in the coverage gap.

A family of three can earn no more than about $5,600 to qualify for Medicaid in Mississippi. So, the coverage gap for a family of three would be for those earning more than $5,600 but less than $19,530, which is 100 percent of the federal poverty level for that size family.

Under the health overhaul law, federal subsidies are available for people to purchase

health insurance from private companies on government-run exchanges, or online marketplaces. The subsidies are for people who earn between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level — $19,530 to $78,120 for a family of three.

The health overhaul law originally would have made states expand Medicaid to people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of the law in 2012 but ruled that Medicaid expansion is optional. Medicaid is a federal-state health insurance program for needy, aged, blind and disabled people and for low-income families with children.

Kim Robinson, a program associate for the Children’s Defense Fund in Jackson, is a “navigator” who is trained to help people shop for private health insurance on an exchange, or online marketplace, run by the federal government.

She said many of the people she has helped, so far, fall into the “coverage gap.”

Mississippi Health Advocacy Program, which supports wider availability of medical coverage, released a study in December that showed Medicaid expansion would generate more than $14 billion in new economic activity in the state, create about 20,000 new jobs and provide a net increase of $848 million in state and local tax collections.

Five years ago: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson announced he was withdrawing his nomination to be Presidentelect Barack Obama’s commerce secretary amid a grand jury investigation into how some of his political donors had won a lucrative state contract. (Prosecutors later declined to bring charges against Richardson.)

tion thinnings, hauls its pulpwood to Counce. He hopes Lafayette County timber owners will still be within PCA’s buying radius, even though their buying has already slowed.

“They’re getting more wood from north Alabama, and it’s stopping the mill up,” he said. “I think Lafayette County is going to be about as far west as you’re going to be able to go and still buy wood; I don’t know if that 150- or 160-mile drive is still going to be available. It may make us move farther north with our operations. There will be people going out of business over this.”

Mississippi Silicon tries again in Burnsville The Associated Press

TUPELO — For the second time in three years, a company is promising to build a silicon metal production facility and add hundreds of jobs.

Only this time, officials say it will be in Burnsville.

In 2011, the company, Mississippi Silicon, eyed Lowndes County for a similar project.

On Tuesday, Gov. Phil Bryant said Mississippi Silicon would invest $200 million in a “high-tech facility” in Burnsville in Tishomingo County that would be “one of the most efficient and cost-competitive silicon metal production facilities in the world.”

The plant, which will take 18-20 months to build, according to company officials, will employ 200.

In 2011, Silicor Materials promised to deliver similar results. But the project, which had mustered up to $75 million in state incentives, never came to fruition.

Silicor, which named its Mississippi operations Mississippi Silicon, missed a Dec. 31, 2012 deadline to put $150,000

in an escrow account for the plant in Lowndes County, which was willing to put up another $19 million in long-term property tax abatements.

But the company had several deadlines pushed back and never made the deposit.

In January 2013, Silicor said it still was committed to building in Mississippi — only not in Lowndes County. It didn’t address why the project didn’t pan out there.

However, David Tuten, the president and CEO of Mississippi Silicon, said Tuesday that Burnsville was the ideal location for the resurrected project.

Financing was not an issue, Tuten said. Because the Lowndes County project fell through, MDA didn’t release the $75 million it had made available.

This time, the state financial incentives are less.

“Pulp paper mills are a huge industry within an area,” he said. “They’re regionally located because you can’t support multiple paper mills if they’re too close together, because they draw so much material in to do what they do.”

Registered Forester Jaysen Hogue is owner of New Albany-based MercyTree Forestry Services, which recently added small-scale logging to its offering of consulting services.

Hogue said the loss of a pulpwood market would be a financial setback for timber owners but that an even bigger financial risk is neglecting to thin trees in a timely manner.

“That hurts your production of sawtimber in the future,” he said. “If you can’t sell the thinnings, about all you can do is to cut them and let them rot away so your remaining trees can grow on up to sawtimber-quality and size.”

Independence, common sense bring rewards

BY BEN S. CARSON Columnist

Earlier this year, one of the mainstream media networks was planning to do a special on my retirement from neurosurgery.

They recorded a lecture I gave at my medical school, as well as one given at a high school in Detroit. They also accompanied me to my old stomping grounds, where many of the neighbors came out to greet me and talk about old times.

I was struck by some of their comments, including the notion that I always had lofty, unrealistic dreams, but that they would enjoy hearing about them anyway. Someone else told me that people would always murmur among themselves when I approached, “Here comes Mr. Know-It-All. Let’s get out of here.” While the network decided not to air the special for some reason unknown to me, it was still a valuable opportunity for me to catch up with old acquaintances.

Similarly, some years ago, I attended the 25th reunion of my high school graduating class. The thing that struck me the most was that many of the “really cool” guys were dead.

Many of my other classmates told me how proud they were of my accomplishments and asked me if I remembered how they used to encourage me. Of course I did not -- no such encouragement took place -- but people’s memories tend to change over time.

Many of my fellow members of the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans have recounted similar stories of being regarded as different and not always being part of the “in” crowd when they were growing up. The Horatio Alger Society inducts 10 to 12 new members each year. These are people who grew up under very difficult circumstances and went on to achieve at the highest levels of their respective endeavors. Many of their names would be quite familiar to the public. Are their stories aberrant, or are we truly the captains of our own destiny?

In the game of chess, pawns are just used for the purposes of the royal pieces. In real life, many in power selfishly use “pawns” -- average citizens -- while at the same time vociferously proclaiming that they are the only ones looking out for the interests of the pawns, who happily follow their commands, thinking that this “royal” contingent has their interests in mind. However, in a chess game, a pawn can become any one of the royal pieces, if it can make it to the other side of the board.

Although no analogy is perfect, it is pretty easy to see the point here. By keeping large groups of Americans complacent and afraid of challenging authority, the position, wealth and status of those in power is secure. The last thing they want is for independentthinking citizens to realize that this country was designed for them and not for an arrogant ruling class. By using strong-arm tactics and a sheepishly compliant news media, the supposed guardians of truth, they have become very successful at pawn control.

I can’t remember how many times during my medical career I was told, “You can’t do that; no one has done that before” or “Do you think all the incredibly bright people who have preceded you didn’t think of that?” Certainly, if I had listened to those comments instead of critically analyzing the problems and using the triumphs and mistakes of others to produce innovative solutions, my career path would have been considerably different. We have these magnificent brains with outstanding reasoning ability in order to be creative and to critically analyze what we hear and see. We must stop acting like pawns and start acting like masters of our own destiny.

We can play the role of nice little pawn or we can be smart, courageous and move out of our comfort zone to accomplish something truly great for our future. It might be a lonely journey at first, but eventually others will see the light. We will shed the pawn mentality and be promoted to the position of proud and independent citizens of America.

Prayer for today Lord God, help me to see my mistakes, and bring me to the realization of my life. Grant that I may no longer use the time that thou gavest me to learn in, heedlessly, but to give it my best thought and care. Amen.

A verse to share “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

The war on poverty at 50 In his State of the Union address on Jan. 8, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared a “war on poverty.” Today, with roughly the same number of people below the poverty level as in 1964 and with many addicted to government “benefits,” robbing them of a work ethic, it is clear that the poor have mostly lost the war.

In 1964, the poverty rate was about 19 percent. Census data from 2010 indicates that 15.1 percent are in poverty within a much larger population.

The lack of government programs did not cause poverty, and spending vast sums of money has not eliminated it.

A policy analysis by the Cato Institute found that federal and state anti-poverty programs have cost $15 trillion over the last five decades but have had little effect on the number of people living in poverty.

That amounts to $20,610 per poor person in America, or $61,830 per poor family of three. If the government had sent them a check they might have been better off.

As Robert Rector and Jennifer Marshall have written for The Heritage Foundation, “President Johnson’s goal was not to create a

massive system of everincreasing welfare benefits for an ever-larger number of Cal b e n e f i c i a Thomas ries.

Instead, he Columnist sought to increase selfsufficiency, enabling recipients to lift themselves up beyond the need for public assistance.”

Johnson sounded conservative when he said, “(We) want to offer the forgotten fifth of our people opportunity and not doles.”

Unfortunately, the war on poverty neglected a key component: human nature.

Substantial numbers of people came to rely on government benefits and thus lost any sense of personal responsibility. Teenage girls knew they could get a check from the government if they had babies and so they had them, often more than one.

The law discouraged fathers from living with, much less marrying, the mothers of their children and so legions of “single mothers” became the norm, and the lack of male leadership in the home contributed to additional cycles of poverty,

addicting new generations to government.

When President Clinton signed the welfare reform bill in 1996, liberals screamed that people would starve in the streets. They didn’t. Many got jobs when they knew the checks would cease.

Over time, government enacted rules to prevent churches and faith-based groups from sharing their faith if they wanted to receive federal grants, thus removing the reason for their success. These groups, which once were at the center of fighting poverty by offering a transformed life and consequently a change in attitude, retreated to the sidelines.

In public schools, values that once were taught were removed because of lawsuits and the fear of lawsuits, creating a “naked public square” devoid of concepts such as right and wrong, with everyone left to figure it out on their own.

There are two ways to measure poverty. One is the way the Census Bureau does, by counting income earned by individuals and families without including government benefits. The other is not measurable in a statistical sense. It is a pov-

erty of spirit. People need to be inspired and told they don’t have to settle for whatever circumstances they are in. This used to be the role of faith-based institutions, and it can be again if they refuse government grants and again reach out to the poor.

One condition for maintaining tax-exempt status should be for these faithbased institutions to help people get off government assistance and find jobs, becoming self-sufficient.

If people need transitional money for daycare or transportation, it can be provided, either temporarily by government or by the thousands of churches, synagogues and other faithbased groups.

There is no undiscovered truth about the cure for most poverty: Stay in school; get married before having children and stay married; work hard, save and invest.

The “war on poverty” can be won, but it must be fought with different weapons, not the ones that have failed for the last half-century.

Obama should go to Sochi With twin suicide bombings in Volgograd, 34 Russians are dead and scores are injured and hospitalized.

Moscow and the world have been put on notice by Doku Umarov, the Chechen Islamic terrorist, that the winter Olympics in Sochi, six weeks away, may not now be safe for visitors.

How should friends of Russia respond?

President Obama, in a gesture of solidarity with the Russian people, who have suffered more than any European people from Islamic terror since 9/11, should announce he has changed his mind and will be going to Sochi.

The impact would be dramatic. The Western boycott of the winter Olympics would collapse. The attention of the world’s TV cameras, along with the rest of mankind, would turn to Sochi. Success of the games would be assured.

A message would be sent to the world that no matter where America disagrees with Russia, terrorists do not tell us where we can or cannot go, and we stand in solidarity with the Russian people in our detestation of and determination to com-

bat terror.

Vladimir Putin, who has his prestige fully invested in the Sochi games, Pat would see Buchanan this as a magnaniColumnist mous gesture, a reaching out of America’s hand, to him and to Russia.

What would be the downside?

Those who have been calling for boycotting the Sochi games to protest Russia’s law prohibiting distribution of pro-homosexual propaganda to youth have already had their point made.

In an in-your-face gesture, the U.S. delegation is headed by Billie Jean King, tennis legend and lesbian, who will travel to Sochi with gay athletes Brian Boitano, the ice skating gold medalist, and Caitlin Cahow, a two-time hockey medalist.

“This is the grandest of snubs, to Putin and to Russia,” exults Chad Griffin of the Human Rights Campaign.

Yet U.S. relations with the world’s largest nation are too serious to allow petty quar-

rels to prevent our working together. Earlier presidents showed the way.

Three years after Nikita Khrushchev’s tanks ran over the Hungarian freedom fighters, Eisenhower invited him to tour the United States. Six months after Khrushchev put missiles in Cuba, JFK extended his hand in his American University speech.

Months after Leonid Brezhnev had sent Warsaw Pact armies to crush the “Prague spring,” President Nixon was sounding him out on arms control and reciprocal summits. Though the Red Army was brutalizing Afghanistan, President Reagan sought to meet with the Soviet leaders and finally did at Geneva and Reykjavik.

These Cold War presidents recognized that their distaste for Soviet tyranny aside, U.S. vital interests and the peace of the world dictated that they meet with their coequal nuclear power.

Moreover, as measured by freedom of speech, religion, assembly and the press, China in 2008 was a far more repressive place than is Putin’s Russia. Yet that did not prevent George W. Bush attending the summer Olym-

pics in Beijing.

And U.S. presidents have been able to work with Putin.

Putin approved NATO strikes on Libya. He has gone along with U.N. sanctions on Iran. He has held off sending Russia’s most advanced air defense system to Iran. He has assisted the United States in the war in Afghanistan. He pulled Obama’s bacon out of the fire in Syria when the American people and Congress told Obama that he had no authority to bomb Syria.

Moreover, Russia is a part of our civilization. Before World War I, Russia was an ally of France and Britain against Germany.

And when it comes to the war on terror, we are in it together. If Russia’s end of the boat sinks, how long do we think ours will stay afloat?

Obama going to Sochi would turn a page, start a new chapter.

Perhaps it would not be reciprocated. But what does Obama have to lose with such a brave and bold beau geste?

Government to appeal NSA ruling WASHINGTON — Government lawyers are asking the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington to overturn a federal judge’s ruling that threatens the National Security Agency’s practice of collecting every Americans’ telephone records every day.

The Justice Department filed its notice of appeal Friday. Meanwhile, Larry Klayman, the opposing lawyer who spearheaded the case against the NSA said he will ask the appeals court to refer the case directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled last month that the NSA phone records program was likely unconstitutional, so the government’s appeal was expected. In a separate case, a district judge in New York last month upheld the NSA program as lawful. The ACLU, which lost that case, said this week it will appeal that case.

Obama pushes birth control mandate WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Friday called on a Supreme Court justice to stop blocking the new health care law’s requirement that some religion-affiliated organizations provide health insurance that includes birth control.

The Justice Department called on Justice Sonia Sotomayor to dissolve her last-minute

stay on the contraceptive coverage requirement of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Sotomayor issued the stay on New Year’s Eve, only hours before the law’s coverage went into effect.

Under the health care law, most health insurance plans have to cover all FDA-approved contraceptives as preventive care for women, free of cost to the patient. Churches and other houses of worship are exempt from the birth control requirement, but affiliated institutions that serve the general public are not.

That includes charitable organizations, universities and hospitals.

In response to an outcry, the government came up with a compromise that requires insurers or health plan administrators to provide birth control coverage, but allows the religious group to distance itself from that action. The exemption is triggered when the religious group signs a form for the insurer saying that it objects to the coverage.

The insurer can then go forward with the coverage.

A group of Denver nuns who run nursing homes for the poor, called the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Aged, say signing that form makes them complicit in providing contraceptive coverage, and therefore violates their religious beliefs. “Unfortunately, the federal government has started the new year the same way that it

ended the old one: trying to bully nuns into violating their religious beliefs,� said their lawyer, Mark Rienzi, who is also senior counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

But Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said in court papers that nothing in the law will make those nuns pay for birth control for their employees. The nuns’ insurance is provided through a church plan that is not required to provide contraceptive coverage and has said it will not, he said, making their complaint baseless.

Fire destroys Salvation Army store JACKSON — An early morning fire has destroyed the Salvation Army’s thrift store in north Jackson.

Capt. Ken Chapman, who leads the Salvation Army’s Jackson operations, says Friday’s fire destroyed the store but did no damage to the homeless shelter next door.

Chapman says the store was at near capacity, because of holiday donations. He estimated the damage at $1.5 million. He says the building is insured.

No one was injured, including the one employee on duty when flames broke out before 6 a.m.

Jackson Fire Dept.

Chief Greg Travis says 12 units responded to the fire to find the building consumed in smoke and flames.

He says firefighters protected the nearby buildings to keep the flames from spreading.

Mental hospital escapee captured COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina mental hospital patient committed after authorities said he killed his mother and stepfather has been captured in Tennessee.

The Department of Mental Health, which would not name the man because of privacy laws, said the patient was captured Friday morning at a hotel off Interstate 40 west of Nashville, Tenn. However, the Oconee County Sheriff’s office said in a news release that the patient was 39-year-old Jason Carter.

Authorities say Carter killed his mother and stepfather in 2006 and wrapped their bodies in plastic. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and then hospitalized.

Department of Mental Health officials say they don’t believe Carter committed other crimes.

Knight says his investigators are trying to piece together exactly what led to this shooting, but he says it came after an argument.

The sheriff says it is unclear exactly how many people were around when the shooting took place.

Elderly woman hurt at home SOUTHAVEN — Southaven police are investigating an apparent attack on an 86-year-old woman.

Lt. Mark Little tells The Commercial Appeal that friends found Georgie McKee on Monday at her home. Little says the woman suffered bruises to the face and body.

Her car also was missing from her home.

Little says the woman cannot remember anything at this point. He says there was no forced entry and nothing taken from her home that police can tell.

Inmates returned to Walnut Grove prison WALNUT GROVE — Fourteen of 18 inmates injured during a fight Tuesday have returned to the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility.

Issa Arnita, corporate communications director for Management and Training Corporation, says an investigation by the company and the Mississippi Department of Corrections continues.

Four people remain hospitalized at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

Arnita says the altercation took place in one of the facility’s six housing units.

He says a correctional officer was treated for minor injuries. No other officers were injured.

Staff responded immediately and secured the units soon after the incident began around 7:00 p.m. Tuesday.

The facility remains on lock down.

Winter storm kills at least 11

BOSTON — A storm dropped a blanket of light, powdery snow across the Northeast and ushered in frigid temperatures Friday that were unusual even for cities accustomed to arctic blasts. The winter weather, which shut down major highways temporarily and grounded flights, was blamed for at least 11 deaths as it swept across the eastern half of the country.

The nor’easter was accompanied by plummeting temperatures that on Friday morning reached 8 degrees below zero in Burlington, Vt., with a wind chill of 29 below, and 2 degrees in Boston, with a wind chill of minus 20.

It dumped 23 inches of snow in Boxford, Mass., and 18 inches in parts of western New York near Rochester. Thirteen inches of snow fell in Boston, while Lakewood, N.J., got 10 inches and New York City’s Central Park got 6.

Wellington Ferreira said the cold was worse than the snow as he cleared a sidewalk in front of Johnny D’s Uptown Restaurant and Music Club in Somerville, Mass.

“My ears are frozen,” he said. “I’ve been here for a couple a years, so I’m all right, but I hate it. I’m never going to get used to it.”

Coroner identifies Lincoln County girl

OXFORD — A 34-yearold West Point man has pleaded guilty to a federal charge of selling a controlled substance.

WTVA TV reports Jamel Banks entered the guilty plea during a Thursday morning hearing in U. S. District Court in Oxford.

A federal grand jury originally indicted him on 10-counts of sale of a controlled substance.

Banks pleaded guilty to one count of knowingly distributing a substance containing a cocaine base.

He will be sentenced at a later date.

BROOKHAVEN — The Lincoln County coroner has released the name of a 6-year-old girl who died after accidentally being shot with a pellet gun on New Year’s Day.

BOISE, Idaho — Idaho’s governor says the corrections department will take over operation of the largest privatelyrun prison in the state after more than a decade of mismanagement and other problems at the facility. Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corporation of America has contracted with the state to run the prison since it was built in 1997. Taxpayers currently pay CCA $29 million per year to operate the 2080-bed prison south of Boise.

Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter made the announcement Friday at a preview of the upcoming legislative session.

For years, Otter has

been a champion of privatizing certain sectors of government, including prisons.

In 2008, he floated legislation to change state laws to allow private companies to build and operate prisons in Idaho and import out-ofstate inmates. In 2008, he suggested privatizing the 500-bed state-run Idaho Correctional Institution-Orofino.

The CCA prison has been the subject of multiple lawsuits alleging rampant violence, understaffing, gang activity and contract fraud by CCA. CCA acknowledged last year that falsified staffing reports were given to the state showing thousands of hours were staffed by CCA workers when the positions were actually vacant. And the Idaho State Police is investigating the operation of the facility for possible criminal activity.

A federal judge also has held CCA in contempt of court for failing to abide by the terms of a settlement agreement reached with inmates in a lawsuit claiming high rates of violence and chronic understaffing at the prison.

Meanwhile, Idaho prison officials, led by IDOC Director Brent Reinke, have lobbied to allow the agency to put together its own proposal and cost analysis for running the prison. Each time, however, Reinke and his staff have been rebuffed by the state Board of Correction.

Bruce Smith

POCAHONTAS, Tenn. — A memorial service for Bruce Wayne Smith, 67, is set for 6 p.m. Sunday at Pocahontas First Baptist Church.

Visitation is Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. at the church.

Mr. Smith died Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014, at his home. Born Aug. 3, 1946, he was a retired truck driver and a Protestant.

Survivors include his wife of 21 years, Colleen Smith of Pocahontas, Tenn., and a sister, June Baumli of New Lebanon, N.Y. He was preceded in death by his parents, Egbert Smith and Mildred Snow Smith; a brother, Leonard Smith; and two sisters, Shirley Smith and Dawn Smith.

Smith Pastor Steve McKee will officiate the service.

were busy responding to accidents and reports of stranded vehicles.

Governors in New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency Thursday, urging residents to stay home. But few power outages were reported Friday and wind gusts actually made the snow easy to manage.

U.S. airlines canceled more than 2,300 flights Thursday because of the snowfall and low visibility. By midday Friday, about 2,200 flights were canceled nationwide, according to the aviation tracking website FlightAware.com. The bulk of those were in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and Washington, D.C.

Police arrest Gulfport pot grower GULFPORT — Gulfport police say they discovered a 56-year-old Gulfport resident was growing marijuana at home after he left his door open.

Sgt. Damon McDaniel tells The Sun Herald Steven Ray Schreider was arrested Dec. 27 on charges of cultivating marijuana and possession of marijuana after the narcotics division used a search warrant to seize an undisclosed amount of pot from his home.

The investigation was initiated after the depart-

ment received a complaint of a suspicious open door at Schreider’s residence. Schreider was not home when officers arrived, but McDaniel said they observed marijuana inside and obtained a search warrant.

VWSD against later start in school year VICKSBURG — Mississippi schools will start the 2014-15 school term later this year.

Members of the Vicksburg-Warren County School Board tell The Vicksburg Post that they don’t like the later start.

A new law — passed in 2012 — provides school districts can start no earlier than the third Monday in August beginning with the 2014-15 school term. For the upcoming school year, that means school starts Aug. 18, considerably later than the Aug. 7 start date in 2013.

The board had considered moving the current school year’s beginning date back in anticipation of the change but strong opposition from teachers prompted board members to drop it.

“We tried to go with it for this year, but the teachers didn’t want to do it and we’re teacherfriendly,” said school board president Jim Stirgus Jr. There also were concerns that teachers wouldn’t get a full month’s pay in August because of the later start.

A rise in petroleum exports is helping to narrow the U.S. trade gap.

The trade deficit fell in October to $40.6 billion, with the nation’s energy boom helping to lift overall exports to an all-time high of $192.7 billion. Economists expect the Commerce Department will report Tuesday that the trade gap shrank again in November. A smaller trade deficit can boost economic growth.

The stock market was invulnerable in 2013.

A federal government shutdown, the threat of military action in Syria, big budget cuts, and a European country looking for a bailout – any of those might have derailed the stock market in the past. Not last year.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index advanced 29.6 percent, its best performance since 1997.

Instead of worrying about the wider world, investors focused on the Federal Reserve and the outlook for its stimulus program. The Fed bought $85 billion of government bonds each month in 2013, and only decided to trim that amount by $10 billion starting in January 2014 after the economy showed sufficient signs of strength.

Rising corporate earnings also lifted stocks and S&P 500 company profits climbed for a fourth straight year, according to S&P Capital IQ. Few market strategists are expecting a repeat performance for the stock market in 2014, but few foresee a disaster either. Rather, a tame year will follow a great year as profit growth slows.

Eye on consumers

Jobless rate report

The Federal Reserve issues a report Wednesday on how much credit U.S. consumers took on in November.

Consumers boosted their borrowing in October by $18.2 billion to a seasonally adjusted $3.08 trillion. The increase was driven by growth in auto and student loans, as well as the biggest rise in credit card debt in five months.

Employers have added an average of 200,000 jobs a month in the past four months, a big improvement from the summer.

Those gains have helped cut the national unemployment rate in November to 7 percent, a five-year low. Economists anticipate that data out on Friday will show the nation’s jobless rate held steady in December.

Man is turned off by gal pal’s resemblance to his mother DEAR ABBY: I met a guy I think is perfect for me on a dating website. We have gone on several dates and they have been great.

He respects my morals and even has some of his own, which isn’t easy to find.

The problem: He says I am exactly what he has been looking for except for one thing. I look like his mother. He says he really likes me and would like to keep dating to see if he can get past this issue. I like him very much.

Is there something I can do, short of plastic surgery? -- DEAD RINGER IN ARIZONA DEAR DEAD RINGER: Before changing anything, you need to explore more closely what he’s saying. Ask to meet his mother, then judge for yourself how strong the resemblance is. It’s possible the similarity is less physical and more about your personality or mannerisms.

You should not alter your image to please anyone but yourself. Keep in mind that many men DO marry women who resemble their mothers in some way -- whether it’s conscious or not -- and the marriages are often successful.

DEAR ABBY: My parents divorced many years ago, and ever since, I have lived with my mother and visit Dad on his days off from work. Mom cheated on Dad, and the man she cheated with lives with us.

I don’t have a good relation-

ship with her boyfriend.

We don’t have much in common, and when he drinks, he gets angry Abigail for no reason takes it Van Buren and out on me or Mom, Dear Abby and it puts the whole household in an awkward position, sometimes lasting for days.

When he’s sober, he can be fun to be around.

I have talked with my mom about this. She promises she’ll talk to him and things are going to change, but they never do. She doesn’t want to break up with him because she can’t afford to pay the mortgage on her own. I have thought about moving in with my dad, but I don’t want to upset her. What do I do? -- WANTS TO MOVE IN WITH DAD DEAR WANTS: Your mother hasn’t asserted herself with her boyfriend because she’s financially dependent on him. She’s afraid if she insists he do something about his drinking, he will leave her.

The affair and the boyfriend were her choice, not yours. If you want to move in with your father to avoid being around a verbally abusive drunk -- and your father is willing -- that’s what you should

do. You should not have to tolerate abuse in order not to “upset” your mother. It’s OK to take care of yourself.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 32-yearold woman. My boyfriend of 11 years passed away almost three years ago. I loved him very much and miss him every day. Some well-meaning friends and family members have suggested a dating site.

Abby, when does someone know if it’s time to move on? I haven’t been on a date in 13 years. I’m scared of putting myself out there again and getting hurt. Any advice would be great.

-- SCARED IN OREGON DEAR SCARED: If the only reason you haven’t reached out before is fear of rejection, then it’s time to move on. Ask your friends and family to help you write a profile, and then consider what happens next as an “adventure.”

While there are no guarantees you’ll immediately find a relationship like the one you had, you might find someone who is compatible. And if you don’t, you could still make some friends. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

(Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.)

Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). An old song suggests that there’s no business like show business, and in a strange way, you’ll feel like that’s exactly the business you’re in. You’ll dazzle your audience, distracting them from behind-the-scenes mechanics.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Recently, boredom has led to overeating. Now the opposite will happen. You’ll concentrate on the efforts that nourish your soul and find that you’re not hungry enough to remember to eat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can’t bear to see anyone suffer, and you’ll go to great lengths to avoid suffering altogether -- except in media. There’s something addictive about seeing the fictional characters you love move in and out of peril.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Sometimes the very worst vantage point for predicting where a creature will go next is the view from inside the creature. You may think you know yourself, but

you are too close to the subject to detect larger patterns.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Can you really do a job well if part of your mind is occupied with trying to come up with an exit strategy?

You’ll be successful when you commit fully and completely, if only for a few hours at a time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are gentle with the very young and the very old, and you don’t stop there. Mostly people are more fragile than they seem, and unguarded words are as dangerous as knives unsheathed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have friends who don’t listen well.

Try to appreciate these folks for their other talents and strengths.

They can complement your life in interesting ways when you stop expecting them to hear you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Have you ever answered every question on an Internet quiz only to get an “internal server error” as an end result? Outdated systems will deny you your

due. Stick to what’s known and proven.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Helping someone you love day in and day out may look to others like extreme self-sacrifice. But you truly get something from the experience. You learn and become a stronger person.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may have to share the credit for a success that is yours, all yours. By greasing the wheels, you show good will and make it more likely that others will help you in the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll do more than you’re paid to do, more than is expected of you and probably more than you want to do. Once you get in a cycle of giving, it’s hard for you to stop.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You will be drawn to unpredictable people, and you’ll enjoy guessing what they’ll do next, only to get it wrong. As long as everyone is having fun, inconsistencies are exciting.

BIGGERSVILLE — The Kossuth Lady Aggies and Biggersville Lions continued their winning streaks at the expense of their opposing genders.

Baylee Turner paced 14 Kossuth players with a gamehigh 15 points as the Lady Aggies won their 12th straight game behind an 84-30 romp of Biggersville in the intracounty doubleheader opener.

Kossuth (13-2) hasn’t lost since falling 74-65 at home to Alcorn Central on Nov. 19.

KHS, which faces Lafayette County today in the Renasant Classic at New Albany, will travel to Glen on Tuesday in the contest that counts in the

Division 1-3A standings.

In the nightcap, Daniel Simmons paced four Lions in double figures with a gamehigh 22 as BHS earned its seventh straight win since falling to Tupelo on Nov. 29 at the Lighthouse Thanksgiving Classic.

Biggersville, which also got six 3-pointers and 19 points from Slater Huggins, improved to 12-2 heading into next Friday’s contest with Alcorn Central in the annual Alcorn County Tournament.

• The Lady Aggies jumped out to a 22-5 lead after one with Turner more than doubling the host club with 13 digits -- including a trio of 3-pointers.

Marlee Sue Bradley, one

of six Lady Aggies to score from beyond the arc, paced a 26-point second quarter with eight points as Kossuth took a 48-12 lead at the break.

Bradley and Rachel Winters added 13 points each for Kossuth. The Lady Aggies recorded 15 conventional buckets and 12 3-pointers, which bested BHS’ total output 3330.

KHS also connected on 18of-22 from the stripe.

Jada Tubbs paced the Lady Lions (2-9) with seven points.

BHS tallied 14 points from the floor and was 16-of-31 from the charity stripe.

• Balanced scoring among six players saw the Lions jump out to a 20-4 lead after eight minutes. BHS scored

the first 13 points of the game.

Darian Barnett, who added 17 points, got loose for four buckets in the second and Huggins drained a pair of extra-point buckets to give BHS a 44-20 cushion at recess.

Rick Hodum drained a trio of three-pointers and Levi Burcham added five quick points as KHS outscored BHS 24-13 in the third to cut the deficit to 57-44.

Burcham’s five quick points got Kossuth to within a dozen at 52-40 late in the third. Biggersville responded with five unanswered on an and-one

by Barnett and a steal and dunk by Simmons.

Prescott’s emergence key for MSU who came into the season as Tyler Russell’s backup but ended it as one of the Southeastern Conference’s up-andcoming quarterbacks.

Now he’s the Bulldogs’ unquestioned leader going forward and expectations will be high. Dan Mullen, who is the first coach to lead Mississippi State to four straight bowl appearances, said the program

embraces the challenge.

“Each team has a one-year shelf life,” Mullen said on Tuesday. “The 2014 team is born on Jan. 10 when we report for our first team meeting. We have one year to show what we can do. Our expectations are always that we want to win the SEC West and represent Mississippi State and the whole state of Mississippi.

That’s the one thing we can control.”

The 2013 version of the Bulldogs started slowly, but continued to improve. Russell suffered a concussion in a season-opening 21-3 loss to Oklahoma State, which opened the door for Prescott.

The sophomore quickly proved he was ready for starting job. He came to Mississippi State with a reputation as a run-first quarterback, but proved to be a capable passer, completing 58.4 percent of his throws for 1,940 yards, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

His favorite target Jameon Lewis also returns next season. Lewis easily led the Bulldogs with 64 catches for 923 yards and five touchdowns.

He was also a frequent option on trick plays, throwing for three touchdowns, including two of them to Prescott.

the kind of success that we have had here in the past, it doesn’t happen by accident,” Tide coach Nick Saban said.

“I think it takes a lot of hard work, and I think a lot of people have to buy into doing things at a very high standard, which these seniors and a lot of former players have set.

“And we certainly didn’t play maybe up to that standard.”

Then again, no program in the country set a higher standard than the Tide. Even without McCarron, the Heisman Trophy runner-up, and Butkus Award-winning Mosley, Saban and Alabama could very well be in Southeastern

Conference and national title contention again next season.

It’s what happened after the Tide’s last two-game losing streak ended the 2008 season, including coincidentally a two-touchdown loss in the Sugar Bowl, that time to Utah.

Alabama responded with an unbeaten 2009 en route to the first of three national titles in four years.

There’s no shortage of talent for a program likely poised to pull in another top-rated recruiting class, including six returning quarterbacks. Only Blake Sims has thrown a pass for the Tide, going 18 of 29 for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

Alabama must replace seven senior starters, including cornerback Deion Belue, guard Anthony Steen and No. 2 receiver Kevin Norwood.

The Tide could lose several underclassmen to the NFL draft, too. That includes All-America left tackle Cyrus Kouandjio and All-Southeastern Conference safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, both regarded as likely first-round picks.

McCarron had gone 36-2 before Alabama lost to Auburn on the last play of the regular season and fell to the Sooners.

He passed for a career-high

The Associated Press

Mississippi State’s dominant 44-7 victory over Rice in the Liberty Bowl secured the Bulldogs’ fourth straight winning season.

The way Dak Prescott keeps improving, there might be a few more in the near future.

Prescott was impressive in the Bulldogs’ finale, completing 17 of 28 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns while also running for 78 yards and two touchdowns.

Mississippi State (7-6) ended the season on a three-game winning streak.

It was a fitting finale for the 6-foot-2, 230-pound sophomore from Haughton, La.,

O’Brien takes over as Texans Bama still loaded, but lacks invincibility head coach The Associated Press

The Associated Press

HOUSTON — Bill O’Brien got a bit antsy as his introductory press conference with the Houston Texans started to drag on and a question was posed about how much he knows about his new team.

“I’ve got a lot of work to do on this team and the sooner that I can get back to my office and start that work, it’ll be better,” he said straight-faced as the rest of the room erupted in laughter.

Less than two years after replacing Joe Paterno as coach at Penn State, the 44-year-old O’Brien has returned to the NFL as coach of the Houston Texans. He was an offensive assistant under Bill Belichick at New England from 2007-12, but the Penn State job was his first as a head coach.

Now he gets the Texans, who spiraled to an NFL-worst 2-14 record last season.

“He showed that he has the ability to step into difficult situations and turn them around,” Houston owner Bob McNair said. “He did that at Penn State under very difficult circumstances and did an outstanding job there.

We expect to see good things happen immediately.”

O’Brien was 15-9 at Penn State, hit hard by NCAA sanctions levied for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal that cost the late Paterno his job.

He takes over for Gary Kubiak, who was fired with three games left in the Texans’ dismal season. Despite Houston’s collapse, many believe it is a plum position because the Texans have many talented pieces in place and could make a quick turnaround. Houston won consecutive AFC South titles before this year’s disaster.

O’Brien said he planned to meet with Houston’s assistant coaches on Friday and begin making decisions on who will make up his staff.

After his first season at Penn State, O’Brien interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns, among others, only to stay in State College. This time the lure of the NFL was too strong to resist.

“I do regret not being able to continue with the great kids on that team,” O’Brien said. “While I tried never to mislead anyone, I understand that some people feel let down. But again, it was a decision that was a once-in-alifetime opportunity for me.”

He said an attractive aspect of this job was Houston’s world-class medical center. O’Brien’s 11-year-old son Jack can’t walk or talk because of a rare neurological disorder that also causes seizures.

Almost exactly two years ago, O’Brien fidgeted with a water bottle while taking questions from reporters at his introductory news conference at Penn State. He said then that he couldn’t wait to get going, and he feels that way in Houston, too.

Alabama lost its final two games and that aura of invincibility in a season when a national title sendoff seemed likely for quarterback AJ McCarron and C.J. Mosley.

Those two Crimson Tide stars instead finished their ‘Bama careers with a 45-31 loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night.

Two losses in three years, and two more in the last five weeks. It was a tough way to go for Alabama (11-2) after two straight national titles, and an utterly uncharacteristic performance both for the defense and McCarron.

Vanderbilt on upswing as it faces Houston The Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Vanderbilt is changing its reputation.

Just ask Houston coach Tony Levine, who said Friday, “Vanderbilt football has got a great name,” even in footballcrazed Texas.

A traditional also-ran in the Southeastern Conference, Vanderbilt will be playing for consecutive nine-win seasons for the first time in school history when the Commodores play Houston on Saturday in the BBVA Compass Bowl.

Vandy is appearing in

a bowl game for the third straight season — another first for the program.

Vanderbilt set yet another first by beating Florida, Georgia and Tennessee in the same season. The emergence of the Commodores has made another “great name” in coach James Franklin, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate in several openings, including Penn State, Texas and with the NFL Browns.

Franklin has tried to keep the focus on the game Saturday and on Friday wouldn’t confirm or deny reports that

he will interview with Penn State on Sunday.

“I am more than happy to talk to you guys and answer any question you guys might have about Houston or Vanderbilt or these two unbelievable institutions or these two unbelievable football programs,” Franklin said. “...

That is our focus guys, I’m telling you.”

Vanderbilt (8-4) closed the regular season with four straight wins. Houston (8-4) snapped a three-game losing streak by beating SMU to close its regular season.

Redshirt freshman Patton Robinette will start at quarterback for the Commodores after senior Austyn CartaSamuels had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. Carta-Samuels played three games with the injury before finally having the surgery.

“It really is a tribute to the type of warrior and the type of competitor and teammate he is,” said Vanderbilt wide receiver Jordan Matthews, who set an SEC record this season Please see COMPASS | 13

South Carolina’s Ellington headed to NFL The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina’s Bruce Ellington picked football over basketball Friday, giving up his final seasons in each sport to enter the NFL draft.

The 5-foot-9 Ellington played point guard for the Gamecocks basketball team and was a receiver on the football squad the past three seasons. But it was on the football field where Ellington had the most success. He led South Carolina with 49 catches for 775 yards and eight touchdowns this year.

Ellington may have had his best game in the eight-ranked Gamecocks’ 34-24 win over No. 19 Wisconsin in the Capi-

tal One Bowl on Wednesday.

He caught six passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns, plus threw a 9-yard TD pass to South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw.

South Carolina also announced that defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, defensive tackle Kelcy Quarles or cornerback Victor Hampton gave up their senior seasons for the pros, although those three had previously said they were heading to the NFL early.

Ellington thanked football coach Steve Spurrier and both basketball coaches he played for with the Gamecocks, Darrin Horn and Frank Martin.

Ellington had said Thursday night when the Gamecocks

returned home from the bowl that he’d made up his mind, but wanted to talk with Martin before announcing his choice.

Ellington, listed at 196 pounds, was also blessed with a body that rarely ran down.

He was a multi-sport standout at Berkeley High in Moncks Corner and quarterbacked his team to a state football title his senior season. But Ellington said he was coming to South Carolina to play basketball only for Horn’s team.

That changed at the end of his first season when Ellington, the basketball team’s top scorer, put on the pads after basketball and took part in summer drills. Ellington was

part of the football team that fall, earning a spot on the allSEC Freshman team, then returned to the court after South Carolina’s bowl game.

That was Ellington’s pattern the past two seasons, blending time on the court with football workouts.

Ellington said in November he expected that to continue this winter, too. But it was his play on the field, though, that pointed him to a football career. While Ellington didn’t have a winning season with the basketball team — the Gamecocks changed coaches from Horn to Martin after the 2011-12 season — he helped Spurrier’s group to three straight 11-2 seasons.

Basketball NBA standings, schedule

CONTINUED FROM 12

Prescott was also Mississippi State’s best option in the running game, finishing with a team-high 829 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns.

His play was consistently stellar despite personal tragedy and a shoulder injury.

His mother, Peggy, died in November after a yearlong battle with cancer. He also suffered a nerve injury in his non-throwing shoulder in a loss to Texas A&M and missed the next two games against Alabama and Arkansas.

But when he was healthy, he was often spectacular. He’s already earned a spot in school lore after coming off the bench in the fourth quarter — despite the injured shoulder — to lead Mississippi State over rival Mississippi in the Egg Bowl.

The five-touchdown performance against Rice was just an exclamation point.

“It was all about the game plan and my teammates,” Prescott said. “I guess I scored the touchdowns, but the rushing touchdowns, I basically walked into the end zone. The offensive line did a great job blocking for me.

And then on the three passing touchdowns, Jameon (Lewis) helped and did a great job getting the ball (close), and then I just had to make one more throw.”

Now the Bulldogs will strive to put a complete team around him.

The team’s defense gradually improved and was terrific during the final three games, giving up just 11.3 points per game.

Linebacker Benardrick McKinney returns after leading the team with 71 tackles and freshman defensive tackle Chris Jones turned into one of the SEC’s best interior linemen by the end of the season, finishing with seven tackles for a loss.

Mullen said his young team’s toughness through adversity this season bodes well for next fall “With a very young and impressionable group they didn’t listen to any (negativity),” Mullen said. “They battled and they fought.”

BAMA CONTINUED FROM 12

387 yards and two touchdowns, but his two interceptions set up Oklahoma TDs, and his fumble was returned for a score in the final minute. It was an ignominious ending for a player regarded as one of the Tide’s best quarterbacks, and McCarron was hard on himself.

“It’s football. It happens,” he said. “I wish it wouldn’t have happened, but I’ll definitely take the loss and definitely take the blame.”

Whoever replaces him will be surrounded by a wealth of skill players. Five of the top six receivers return, led by Amari Cooper and tight end O.J. Howard.

Tailback T.J. Yeldon is back after rushing for 1,245 yards and 14 touchdowns, along with backup Kenyan Drake.

Freshman Derrick Henry also turned in a huge game in the Sugar Bowl. He had eight carries for 100 yards, including a 43yard touchdown. He took his first career catch 61 yards for a touchdown to cut Alabama’s deficit to 38-31 with 6:22 remaining.

“Derrick had a really good bowl practice,” Saban said. “Actually we decided that he was our second-best back going into this game, and we were going to give him an opportunity based on his performance in practice and what he had done and the confidence that he had gained throughout the course of the season in terms of knowing what to do and playing fast.”

with 107 catches.

Robinette started two games, including the win over Florida, and came off the bench to play a major role in the win over Georgia.

“The thing about coach Franklin and his coaches and

his scheme, it’s about being plugged in and doing your job,” Matthews said. “So no matter who the person is — yeah, they might bring different attributes to the table, but once they’re plugged into the system, everybody goes through the process.

I didn’t have a difficult time in the transition from Austyn to

Patton.

“Patton is extremely mobile.

I think people got to see that in the first couple of games. Now I think it’s going to be a chance for him to showcase his throwing ability also.”

Franklin is 23-15 in three seasons. Vanderbilt had backto-back 2-10 seasons before Franklin’s arrival.

That turnaround at a school not known for having a rich football tradition has made Franklin an attractive candidate for other jobs. He insists interest in him as a possible job candidate elsewhere won’t be a distraction against Houston.

“We focus on the things we can control,” Franklin said.

“We focus on our preparation.

We’ve been dealing with this stuff for three years, we really have. These guys do an unbelievable job in trusting the process and focusing on the things that are important to us, our preparation, our hard work, our attention to detail, things like that. We’re just excited to go play another game together as a family and that’s where our focus is completely.”

Robinette won’t be the only freshman quarterback on the field. Houston’s John O’Korn threw 26 touchdown passes, the most of any true freshman in the nation.

Houston will be playing in its 22nd bowl game. This will be Vanderbilt’s seventh bowl game.

Levine said Houston’s edge in bowl appearances won’t matter on Saturday.

“To say Houston has (22) bowl games and Vanderbilt has seven really has no bearing on what is going to be the outcome of this football game tomorrow,” Levine said. “We’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for coach Franklin and his staff. When you talk about Vanderbilt and the season they had, some victories that come to mind are Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. Even the four they’ve come up short on were very close games.”

The Cougars, who joined the American Athletic Conference in 2013 after 17 years in Conference USA, are making their eighth postseason trip in the past 11 seasons.
