Phishing scam targets users
Basket Fund extends giving deadline
BY KIMBERLY SHELTON kshelton@dailycorinthian.com
Organizers of the Christmas Basket Fund are reaching out to the community for help meeting the costs of the annual charitable program. Each year the Christmas Basket Fund provides around 1,000 baskets filled with food and paper products for those in the community who meet the requirements. The baskets were given out on Dec. 17 on faith that the cost would be met by the Christmas Basket Fund. This year’s Christmas Basket Fund is still approximately $7,000 shy of the funding goal. Organizers of the program have extended the deadline for donations in order to give people an extended opportunity to support the project.. “This year we gave away 1,000 baskets at a cost of approximately $23 a basket, so we really need a final push from the community to help us reach our goal of $23,000,” said Daily Corinthian Publisher Reece Terry. “It is important that we reach our financial goal in order Please see BASKET | 2
Issuing a warning to Crossroads area Internet users, Attorney General Jim Hood is stressing caution when it comes to online shopping. Those taking advantage of popular sites such as Amazon and PayPal should be extremely vigilant as they could become targets of a phishing scam designed to gather sensitive personal information or infect their devices with viruses. “These online services and businesses make it easy for consumers to shop and pay for items online, but there are people out there who want to use this convenience as a way to steal your money, or even worse, your identity,” said Hood. According to the Attorney General, one such scam that has surfaced in recent weeks involves an email with a link alerting the receiver that his or her PayPal account has been limited for security reasons. Once a customer clicks the link contained in the email and submits his or her PayPal username and password to the site, the scammer can then steal the consumer’s log-in information. As soon as the person’s user name and password have been compromised, the crook then has the ability to log in to the

Trucks collide near intersection BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
A collision between two big trucks resulted in a lunch-hour traffic snarl in the Highway 72 and Cass Street area on Wednesday. Despite a significant crash, the drivers of the 18-wheeler and a flatbed trailer escaped injury. “If he had been in a regular-sized vehicle, it would have been a lot worse,” Corinth Police Department Capt. Landon Tucker said of the driver of the flatbed trailer. According to the wreck report filed by
Mayor of Booneville won’t seek re-election
CPD, the flatbed trailer, driven by Zachary Peterson of Hugo, Minn., exited the parking lot of Wendy’s to head east and entered the path of a westbound 18-wheeler driven by Wayne I. Meter of Sommerville, Ala. After the collision, the 18-wheeler went across the eastbound traffic, and the flatbed came to rest on the front lawn of Wendy’s. The crash was reported at 11:46 a.m. and the roadway was reported clear at 12:34 p.m. The flatbed truck was marked “TMI Coatings” and the 18-wheeler was marked “CARRY Transit.”

People of the Crossroads Robert Hale, Corinth Staff photo by Bobby J. Smith
Life for 55-year-old Robert Hale is centered on keeping Corinth’s oldest saloon up and running. The Long Branch has been in Hale’s family for over 25 years. Previously the local landmark operated under a number of other names, including Dave’s Place and The Top Cat. Hale said the best thing about his line of work is getting to meet all kinds of people — as well as spending time with his regular patrons, many of whom he has known for most of his life. “We see some of the same people who were here 20 years ago who are still coming in today,” said Hale. “You see people as time goes by and they’re getting older and living their lives. It’s just one of those things. It’s more like a family here than anything else. Everybody knows each other.”

Booneville Mayor Derrick Blythe will not seek a second term in office, but he could seek a different position in city government. Blythe said Tuesday he does not plan to run for mayor during this year’s city election. He said it’s been a difficult decision but he feels he’s making the right one. “After a lot of thought, prayers, discussions with friends, I regret that I feel like I need to move on and go back to my business,” he said. Blythe said he may choose to run for a position on the board of aldermen. “I’m not ruling out running for alderman. I’m trying to decide,” he said. Blythe, a chiropractor and
Blythe owner of Booneville Chiropractic Clinic, was elected to his first term as mayor in 2013. Candidates have until March 3 to qualify to run for mayor or alderman.

South bracing for sleet, snow Associated Press
ATLANTA — Forecasters say a winter storm system could blanket much of the South with a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow from Texas all the way east to the Carolinas. Even parts of the deep South — including Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama — were bracing for the possibility of snow by Friday. Freezing rain and ice is also possible in areas such as Atlanta, where frozen
freeways have shut down traďŹƒc in past storms. Forecasters say they don’t expect the worst of the wintry weather to strike metro Atlanta until after schoolchildren are dismissed Friday afternoon. Forecasters said early Wednesday that it’s too soon to predict snowfall amounts. In Louisiana, weather service forecasters say they expect a potential mix of wintry weather will move in fast Friday night.

consumer’s legitimate PayPal account to spend any remaining funds, bill credit cards or steal personal information. “The link provided in the email directs consumers to a phony PayPal website, which is not secure,� said Hood. “It even misspells the word ‘PayPal’ which should be a red flag for shoppers.� Other phishing emails sent by scammers to target Amazon customers can be an attempt to steal personal information or install malicious software to the user’s computer. These emails look like they are coming form Amazon and can show up in various forms: an order confirmation for items customers didn’t purchase (can also be an attachment to an order confirmation); a request for username and/ or password or for other personal information; a request to update payment information; or a message with links to fake websites that look like Amazon.com but actually prompt the installation of software. These fraudulent emails frequently contain a forged email address from an Internet Service Provider and usually contain a few if not many typographical or grammatical errors. “I recommend that consumers who have PayPal or Amazon accounts and receive similar emails not click on any links or submit any usernames, passwords or personal information via email,� said Hood. “Instead, go to the companies’ actual websites and use the sites’ secure login to verify any account activity.� “Although these scams have been around for quite some time, they
continue to try to lure victims,â€? he continued. “I encourage consumers to protect themselves from fraud and identity theft on the internet through education and awareness.â€? The Attorney General oers the following tips to help safeguard against phishing emails: • Do not respond to any unsolicited e-mails of this nature. • Do not click on any attachments associated with such emails, as they may contain viruses or malware. • If you get an email or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply or click on the link in the message. Legitimate companies don’t ask for this information via email. • If you are concerned about your account, contact the organization in the email using a telephone number you know to be genuine, or open a new Internet browser session and type in the company’s correct Web address. In any case, don’t cut and paste the link in the message. • Don’t email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure method of transmitting personal information. • If you initiate a transaction and want to provide your personal or financial information through an organization’s Web site, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a lock icon on the browser’s status bar or a URL for a website that begins “https:â€? (the “sâ€? stands for “secureâ€?). • Use anti-virus software and keep your computer security up to date. Some phishing emails contain software that can harm your computer or

As someone who works in a hosting/development area, Strickland resident Jeremy Maness says he is pretty cautious already. He recommends that if someone thinks they have been a victim, that they act quickly to secure their money. “Contact your bank/ credit card companies immediately,� said Maness. “You may also want to remove payment methods from your Amazon/ PayPal accounts.� Corinth resident Brent Johnson loves to shop local whenever possible, but says he always creates a store-specific account when making online purchases from chain retailers. “Wal-Mart, Target and other retail stores will allow you to create accounts and then store shipping and billing info within your own account. This takes an extra moment on your first purchase but limits exposure of a third party payer (PayPal, venmo, POP, etc) being hacked,� he said. “I always use my credit card for online purchases, not debit or direct bank draft since most credit card company’s have fraud detection and recovery protocol that are much quicker and easier to deal with.� Checking your account balances and charges on a regular (daily or weekly) basis also helps. You can do this through your smartphone, phone call or online,� he continued. “Working in a bank I can tell you, early detection is key to minimizing impact if indeed someone’s accounts have been compromised.� (For more educational information on this and other scams, please visit the Consumer Protection Division section of the Attorney General’s website at agjimhood.com.

Statements by Mayor Jason Shelton and records obtained by the Daily Journal show that Blanton continued to consult for the city until early November. He was paid a total of $20,299.36, a figure that includes his base rate and reimbursement for travel expenses. The mayor’s staff includes a communications director with an annual salary of about $39,000.

Corinth, Miss.
One of the horrible people A man died last year who epitomized the profession that Donald Trump says is full of “horrible people” and “scum.” Jack Simms was 90. He was 17 when he signed up to join Rheta the Marine Corps in World Johnson War II. He needed his parents’ consent. He was a private in a Columnist machine gun squad with an infantry company during the bloody Battle of Iwo Jima in February and March of 1945. His division received a Presidential Unit Citation. He survived war to return home to Auburn, Alabama, where he had grown up. Jack had promised his mother he’d go to college if she’d sign his consent form, and he kept his promises. The first time I saw Jack Simms was in 1974. He looked pretty much the same as he’d looked in photos in his Marine Corps uniform, a dapper, John Garfield kind of handsome. He stood in the doorway of my office, the editor’s cubbyhole at the Auburn University campus newspaper, The Plainsman. He, too, had been editor of The Plainsman after the war ended. This time Jack was back to head the journalism department, summoned by Auburn after his long career with the Associated Press in Atlanta, Kentucky and New England. He eventually became the AP’s deputy general sports editor in New York. That first meeting was typical. Jack had stopped by with a minor criticism, which he delivered with a smile and I ignored. I had finished all my journalism classes and so never had him as an instructor, but we became fast friends. I left Auburn and tried to start a weekly newspaper on a Georgia island. The venture failed. Jack helped me find a newspaper job when I came back to Alabama, dragging a UHaul behind me. With his AP contacts around the nation, he helped many of us struggling young reporters find work. Jack Simms taught what he called a “weedout” course to get rid of students who could not spell and didn’t know grammar. He’d put a ticking alarm clock at the front of the room to illustrate the pressure of deadlines. He knew about those. He taught by example. I’ve always thought the main thing journalism students should be taught is the proper disposition for a reporter. Jack Simms was the intellectually curious, tough, fair-minded, witty reporter we all wanted to become. Jack and his wife Lassie Jo -- he called her “The War Department,” but with such tenderness it was not offensive -- came to see me in Mississippi nearly 30 years after we’d first met. He sat on my front porch drinking, gossiping, reminiscing, until past midnight. I finally had to beg off and go to bed. Always the careful editor, Jack occasionally would write me a note about some column I’d written. He didn’t critique the content or my position so much as he did the delivery. “I’m not clear what you’re saying here,” or “Good job with this.” Nobody was off the hook entirely when Jack Simms read. Mark Winne, a mutual friend, once Jack’s student and now a veteran investigative television reporter in Atlanta, named his son “Jack.” Jack Simms inspired that kind of devotion. The current contempt for the media may wane in the next four years, but I doubt it. Jack Simms taught us that if you do your job right you might not be popular. You might even be despised. But you’ll be respected. Rheta Grimsley Johnson’s most recent book is “Hank Hung the Moon ... And Warmed Our Cold, Cold Hearts.” Comments are welcomed at rhetagrimsley@aol.com.
Prayer for today Almighty God, grant that my life may no longer be a noise, but be kept in tune with the sublimest melodies, that wherever I am, there may be no discords in the songs of my soul. Through thy loving-kindness may my songs resound. Amen.
A verse to share Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. —Lamentations 3:22-23
Budget woes to intensify BP settlement fight STARKVILLE — The legislative battle over the ultimate distribution of some $750 million in economic damages from the BP oil spill settlement was always going to be heated and contentious. That’s the nature of legislative battles that center on sectionalism and factionalism – and what can be more sectional or factional that arguing over whether upstate counties are entitled to a portion of economic damages from an industrial disaster that took place in the Gulf of Mexico? Given that reality, the state’s declining revenue stream rather sets that battle in concrete. Upstate lawmakers not only want a portion of those funds, they will argue that they (and their constituents) need and deserve it as well. As noted in prior writings, there’s a clear political template in Mississippi regarding the looming fight over the BP settlement. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s 2005 slammed Mississippi at a time when the state was struggling with budget problems, principally how to pay for the state’s Medicaid program. Legis-
lators fell over themselves to use substantial portions of the federal funds proSid Salter vided for relief from Columnist Hurricane Katrina to meet the state’s Medicaid expenses. At the time, Gulf Coast lawmakers fought hard to focus the post-Katrina expenditures in south Mississippi. Sectional compromise ruled the day on the portion of funds over which the Legislature had any direct influence. Full recovery from a storm the magnitude of Katrina was forecast to take a minimum of a decade. Some suggest that the Coast still remains both scarred and hampered by Katrina more than a decade after the storm made landfall. Fast forward, Mississippi was awarded almost $2.2 billion in total compensation for the 2010 BP explosion, fire and resulting oil spill on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The rig was leased to BP by Transocean.
The Deepwater Horizon explosion killed 11 men (with Mississippians among the dead), injured others and resulted in an estimated 210 million barrels of oil being spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. It was the nation’s largest offshore oil spill. Mississippi and other Gulf states suffered significant economic and environmental damages. But did residents of Alcorn County or DeSoto County suffer damages comparable to those suffered by resident of Harrison, Hancock, or Jackson counties on the Gulf Coast? Mississippi got a total $2.2 billion settlement from BP, but not all of that is subject to the unfettered will of the Mississippi Legislature. Specifics of the settlement include, over time, $750 million in economic damages that will be subject to state legislative appropriations. There are other funds with regulatory strings attached that aren’t completely subject to legislative fiat, including some $183 million in Natural Resource Damage Assessment payments for environmental restoration and $582 mil-
lion in Clean Water Act penalties to be used for research and economic development and for environmental projects. Last year, the Legislature used $42 million of the initial $150 million payment of the BP settlement to the state to bolster a stagnant state budget. Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and Attorney General Jim Hood — along with Gulf Coast lawmakers — have all spoken to their belief that since the BP oil spill disaster most directly impacted the Gulf Coast, that’s where the preponderance of the settlement funds should be spent. Coast lawmakers want the discretionary BP settlement funds to be placed in a trust controlled by coastal residents that excludes legislative reach. But upstate lawmakers are not yet ready to concede to a plan that substantially excludes central and northern counties from benefitting from the settlement.

Chicago is America’s killing floor The city of Chicago is conducting a long, bloody experiment in what happens to a gang-ridden municipality in the absence of effective policing. It is keeping the morgue depressingly busy. Seven hundred sixty-two people were murdered in the city in 2016, a nearly unheard of 50 percent increase over the year before. This is more than New York and Los Angeles -- both larger cities -- combined, and the worst figure in 20 years. While everyone on the left pays obeisance to the slogan Black Lives Matter, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel runs a jurisdiction where black lives have been getting cheaper almost by the day, especially in its poorest areas. The lion’s share of Chicago’s spike of violence has occurred in five of Chicago’s 22 police districts. Eighty percent of the victims were rated by the police department as likely to be involved in gun violence, which means that the city is adept at identifying people as potential victims -- just not at keeping them from getting shot. Holiday weekends in Chicago reliably provide fodder for cable TV in the astonish-

ing tallies of shootings and murders (a dozen people killed and 27 shootRich ings over the Lowry C h r i s t m a s weekend). National Overall, Review more than 4,300 people were shot in the city last year. A woman told CNN she told her kids from a very young age what to do when they hear gunshots, a grim maternal duty in a city where gunplay is so routine. The equation that accounts for the rising body count is simple: As the Chicago police have become less aggressive, the gangs have become more aggressive and more people have been killed. Chicago demonstrates that in swathes of inner-city America, you can have a chastened, passive police department, or a modicum of public order, but not both. Chicago’s authorities courted the anti-police agitation of the past few years with their desperate mishandling of the controversial shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, killed by an officer in 2014. The
city avoided releasing the dashcam video of the incident for a year, until after Rahm Emanuel’s re-election. When it finally did, the police representations about the threat represented by McDonald looked to be false (the cop who shot him is now awaiting trial on murder charges). With the police on their back heels, the city further hamstrung them. It discouraged minor drug arrests. It required the police to fill out two-page contact cards (with 70 different fields) whenever stopping anyone. These forms are then forwarded on to the American Civil Liberties Union. The city would have been much better served by forthrightness in the McDonald case from the beginning, coupled with vigorous support of tough-minded, forward-leaning policing. Instead, it got the worst of both worlds. Fearful of becoming the next “viral video,” harassed and mocked when out doing their job in tough neighborhoods, beleaguered by paperwork, the police have suffered a crisis in morale and clearly pulled back. Documents obtained by “60 Minutes” show an 80 percent drop in stops from

almost 50,000 in August 2015 to under 9,000 a year later, and arrests dropping from roughly 10,000 to 7,000. This reduced police presence on the streets has been a boon only to anti-police ideologues (the ACLU welcomes it) and the city’s myriad gangs. Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says that the surge in violence has been driven by “emboldened offenders who acted without a fear of penalty from the criminaljustice system.” There is much about Chicago that can’t be readily fixed, but it is fully within the city’s power to make its criminal offenders feel less emboldened. Chicago simply needs to stop, arrest and jail more dangerous people. The only alternative is the continuation of the city’s current experiment in chaos that is making the city unlivable for the people unfortunate enough to inhabit its most violent precincts. It goes without saying that their lives matter. Chicago should begin to act like it. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Elvis’ home-away-from-home could be razed for car wash BY JONATHAN MATTISE Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — As a teenager growing up in the 1950s, Steve North would look for the pink Cadillac outside a stone house on the outskirts of Nashville. If the car was there, Elvis was in the building. Decades later, North bought the property and practiced law at the unassuming former home of Col. Tom Parker, the rough-around-theedges manager who helped steer Elvis Presley to stardom. Elvis’ old home-away-from-home is now on the brink of being torn down and replaced by a car wash. North has spent four years seeking a buyer who would preserve the building. In a city where real estate prices are booming, he found none willing to pay the market price while promising to keep the house intact. It’s a recurring cultural struggle in growing Nashville, where developers have sought to demolish quaint sites of music lore to build apartments and high-rises that accommodate the 80-plus people moving to the Tennessee city each day. “Nashville hangs its hat on the fact that it’s Music City, USA,” said Robbie Jones, a board member with Historic Nashville Inc. “And if we keep tearing down our music landmarks, how much longer can we claim to be Music City, USA with a straight face?” In 2014, RCA Studio A was slated for demolition on Music Row, near downtown Nashville, to make way for luxury condos. Musician Ben Folds, who rented the space for 12 years, led the charge to preserve it and a philanthropist ultimately bought the studio where Elvis, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and others recorded.

Man stole purse, used credit cards OXFORD – An Oxford man is facing charges after he is accused of stealing a purse at city hall and using a credit card. Investigators say Marvin Bell, 51, is charged with felony credit card fraud and petit larceny. He is accused of taking the purse at Oxford City Hall on December 23 and spent over $1,000 on a credit card. Bell was arrested late last week. His bond was set at $10,000.
Wren Man dies in cycle wreck WREN – A motorcycle accident Friday claimed the life of a Wren man, according to Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley. The Daily Journal reported Matthew “Cole” Archer, 35, died of multiple trauma at 11:09 p.m. after being airlifted to the North Mississippi Medical Center. Archer was the driver of a motorcycle traveling east on Central Grove Road that collided with a westbound Chrysler PT Cruiser. The accident occurred a fourth of a mile east of Highway 45. No one in the PT Cruiser was injured, Gurley said. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office investigated the accident.
PURSUIT CONTINUED FROM 1
and he anticipates additional charges. It began with a pursuit of a Ford Mustang which went onto County Road 533 south of Kossuth before the deputy terminated the pursuit. He later found the vehicle severely wrecked farther along Road 533, where it had gone off the road and hit some trees. No one was around the vehicle, and the sheriff’s department received information that the occupants had gone to a residence at 232 County Road 547, where a number of other individuals were also present. Attempts to get the people to come out of the residence were unsuccessful, and the sheriff’s department eventually called on the Corinth Police Department’s Special Response Team for assistance. The special response unit was able to flush the individuals out of the home. No one was injured at the residence, and the vehicle occupants were uninjured in the crash. It is the first time the SRT has assisted the county on a situation outside the Corinth city limits. “I would like to commend my deputies for their hard work and dedication to keeping the citizens of Alcorn County safe,” said Caldwell. “I would also like to thank Chief Dance and the Corinth Police Department for their assistance.”
“Nashville hangs its hat on the fact that it’s Music City, USA, and if we keep tearing down our music landmarks, how much longer can we claim to be Music City, USA with a straight face?” Robbie Jones Historic Nashville Inc. Music Row has seen several music industry properties knocked down, and the district is perpetually on Historic Nashville’s list of properties most in danger of demolition. While growing up in his Madison neighborhood, North took for granted seeing music legends such as Elvis, Eddie Arnold, Ferlin Husky and more at the grocery store and elsewhere. He’d wave at Elvis in the yard. The king of rock ’n’ roll would wave back. Parker owned the home from 1953 to 1992, and whenever Elvis came to town to record music at Studio B on Music Row, he’d stay with the Colonel, according to Jones. Elvis had his main home in Memphis, Graceland, which has long been a major tourist attraction. Parker is credited with landing Presley’s $35,000 recording contract with RCA Victor in the mid1950s and lining up such early TV appearances as “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Parker died in 1997. North bought the building for his law firm about two decades ago. In 2015, Historic Nashville put the building on its annual list of endangered historic properties because it was up for sale. North said he’d be heartbroken to see it knocked down, but he’s exhausted his search. The building is set back on
a mostly commercial strip between an auto parts store and a car repair garage. North plans to sell off the artifacts inside: a wet bar in the basement, wrought-iron window security bars and doors, a black marble shower. “All of a sudden, I’ve had a bunch of people say, ‘Oh, you know, it’d be a shame to tear it down. Let’s find a buyer,’” North said. “My comment is basically, ‘Where were you the last four years when it’s been on the market?’” The car wash developer awaits a scheduled zoning hearing Thursday, and North said the project is likely to go forward regardless of whether it’s granted several variances. Nashville Metro Councilman Anthony Davis wants the meeting delayed and a public meeting scheduled so the developer can talk with the community. “If nothing else, deferring allows for the applicant to answer questions ... and it allows a little more time, in case there is a buyer out there that could possibly satisfy the community desire to preserve this building,” Davis said. And though North has already signed the contract, preservationists still hold out hope. “Until the wrecking ball’s out there actually knocking it down, we’ll never give up,” Jones said.
No plans for future picnics in NYC GULFPORT — Organizers say they are not planning to continue the annual picnic that brought Mississippi catfish and blues to New York. The Sun Herald reports The New York Mississip-
Oxford
pi Society made the announcement on its website. The group says for 36 years, the Mississippi picnic “has been wonderful and a positive thing for all those involved.” But, it says with com-
petition for funding and complexity of planning, the society has “no plans for any future picnics.” A woman who answered the society’s phone Wednesday confirmed to The Associated Press that the post is legitimate.
The 2016 picnic in Central Park was canceled to protest a Mississippi law that would have allowed people to cite their own religious objections to same-sex marriage to deny a variety of services to same-sex couples.
TWENTY SEVENTEEN As 2016 passes into history and 2017 opens its doors to us, as usual, we think about the New Year and wonder what it holds in store for us, and how we can improve our life in different areas. As we do, let’s not forget about our spiritual needs. Here are some relatively simple things we can do each day. They will enrich our lives, help those around us, and draw us closer to God. 1. I can read my Bible each day. By doing this I am listening to God. There has never been a time in the history of man, when God has left him without guidance. In Jeremiah 10:23 the ”weeping prophet” affirmed “that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” Similarly, the psalmist affirmed the need for divine guidance when he said, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105) God speaks to us in his word. 2. I can pray each day. By doing this I am talking to God. In prayer, I can thank God for my abundant blessings. I can cast all my burdens on him. I can ask him for help. I can petition him at any time, from any location, and know that he is always willing to listen. It is said of Daniel, in the book of his prophecy, that “he went into his house, and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.” (Daniel 6:10) Paul tells us, “Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” (Philippians 4:6) 3. I can live righteously each day. By doing this I am glorifying God. Will I be perfect? Absolutely not. Will I make mistakes? Surely I will. But with God’s help I should strive each day to exalt him in the life I live. Jesus said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) In admonishing the Corinthians to live a life of purity, and refrain from the old life they had once lived, Paul said, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”(I Corinthians 6:20) What a great way to spend next year. Won’t you come and worship with us at Danville church of Christ?

Wearable gadgets disappoint Neither the holiday season nor New Year’s fitness resolutions seem to be helping wearable gadgets break into the mainstream. Research firm eMarketer has significantly lowered its outlook for smartwatches and fitness trackers such as the Apple Watch and Fitbits. It’s not that the craze has died down — it’s more like there never was one to begin with. Despite early promise, “usage has not expanded beyond early adopters,” eMarketer’s Douglas Clark wrote in a blog post. In October 2015, the research firm expected wearable gadget to grow more than 60 percent among U.S. adults in
2016. That’s now down to 24.7 percent. Investors are rattled: shares of Fitbit have dropped more than 50 percent since October. While fitness trackers are relatively cheap and straightforward to use, smartwatches haven’t caught on because they are expensive and lack a well-defined purpose, eMarketer says. But multinational corporations — no, really — could save the day. Gartner predicts that by 2019, nearly all big employers will encourage the use of fitness trackers to “improve corporate performance.” Big brother, apparently, won’t just be watching, but tracking your steps.
U.S. wearable gadget user penetration by age, 2017*
Craze or hype? The market for wearble fitness devices and smartwatches has been softer than predicted. This may change as corporations encourage employees to be more health-conscious and recommend the devices for employees.

Relative says family fundraiser has gone to the well too often D E A R ABBY: A family member keeps setting up fundraisers every time she wants to Abigail buy somefor her Van Buren thing family. If a child needs a Dear Abby special class, she asks the relatives to pitch in to pay for it. When her husband wanted to return to college, she brought all the extended family together to see who could contribute. She has now set up a fundraiser for family and friends to raise $6,000 to send her teenaged daughter to an expensive performing arts camp. I think this is extravagant. If they can’t afford it, they should select a camp they CAN afford or have the 16-year-old go out and earn the money. I also think they should be saving for college rather than camp. This woman’s father was a preacher, and sometimes I think she never got the message that fundraising is usually for charity, not for individuals who happen to need some cash. Am I wrong to be embarrassed by what she’s doing, or is this a new normal? -- EMBARRASSED IN TEXAS DEAR EMBARRASSED: You say your relative is the daughter
of a preacher. There is a saying in the Bible, “Seek and ye shall find.” Another way of putting it is, “It never hurts to ask.” If you feel your relative is using others for something that should be her responsibility, you are free to just say no, and to do so without embarrassment. DEAR ABBY: I’m retired and have the time to sew and quilt projects, which I give as gifts. I presented a “Quilt of Valor” to my father to honor his military service. I also gave a sibling one of my personalized projects as a birthday gift. Abby, when we visited their home recently, I was horrified to see one of their dogs sleeping on one of the pillows I had made for them. When the dog woke up, it proceeded to scratch itself and then drag the hair-covered pillow through the house. I have been asked to make a quilt for a disabled child living at home who also has a dog that sleeps on her bed. I no longer want to invest my time and energy after what happened to my gift. I feel unappreciated. Would it be wrong to refuse the request and say something about “gift abuse”? -- SEW PERPLEXED IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR SEW PERPLEXED: Verbalizing your refusal would be undiplomatic. Regardless
of the fact that your hard work wasn’t appreciated as you hoped it would be, I do not recommend that you accuse the family of “gift abuse.” It appears they’re dealing with more important issues right now. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been together for 21 years. I’m extremely social, while he is not. For the past six to 10 years he has become increasingly resistant to going out in public places, especially when it involves getting together with my family or friends. During last year’s holidays, I pleaded yet another “sudden illness” on his behalf. I feel he makes himself ill with anxiety so he can bow out at the last minute. When I cancel plans we’ve made -- which is often -- he generally “feels better” after we cancel. It’s frustrating. While I am sympathetic, I’m tired of making excuses knowing he’s probably fine. What can I do? -- SOCIAL BUTTERFLY IN PORTLAND, ORE. DEAR BUTTERFLY: I think you should go without him, and stop making excuses. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Horoscopes ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some experience commitment as the loss of options, and certainly that’s part of it. But sacrificing an endless array of options for something narrow and concentrated, oddly, will only make your life and options larger. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Walking, running, flying -- it’s essentially the same principle. To move forward requires strength, balance and constant adjustment. Be honest, feel where the weakness is, and adjust to correct yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What’s important is sometimes quite dull. You already know every cobble of the road you’re on today, but there is a magnificent reason for traversing it over and over. In a way, this is heroism. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Don’t hesitate, vacillate, agonize or dwell. Make quick work of it and get on with something decadent, like treating yourself to something sweet or delightful or intoxicating. Bonus points for
doing it without guilt! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re fanciful and imaginative. You can paint a vivid picture for others with your words and the way you say them. Use this to your advantage. The right subject matter is key. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Alas, childhood’s limitless possibility must come to an end at some point. And yet today, a youthful opportunity you thought was closed to you forever will open up once more. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re not trying to juggle three or four different balls in the air at once. That’s for amateurs! You’ve 10 to 20 that need to stay afloat. If a few drop, don’t even give it a second thought. Just keep moving. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be a kind of champion today, although a quiet one. The fact that you don’t want to be noticed and lauded for your efforts makes them all the more valiant. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are times you want
to be your most attractive self, but not always. Invisibility has its benefits. You need time to yourself. Play it low-key and you’ll slip happily under the radar for a spell of much-needed solitude. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The insecure and impressionable people around you need someone to mentor and protect them. You’re the natural fit. With what you know and who you are, you will teach and inspire. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your joy won’t be found in the world of glamour and thrills today. The less conventionally exciting a labor appears to be, the greater its potential as an arena for doing meaningful, fulfilling work in the world. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re ready to speak, but are they ready to listen? Prime them for it first: Grab their attention; then give them a moment to settle into the reality that you’re about to say something important. Finally, deliver from the heart. Score!

Jon D Warren, who teams with Xavius ‘Tada’ Stricklen to lead defending 1-4A champion Corinth in scoring, is set to lead the Warriors to what would be their 11th consecutive Alcorn County championship. The ACT begins Thursday evening at the Crossroads Arena.
Alcorn County Tournament begins Thursday BY KENT MOHUNDRO Sports Editor kmohundro@dailycorinthian.com
There are certain times of the year we all look forward to here in what is commonly referred to as “hill country.” There’s the kickoff of the football season, the county fair, the Slugburger Festival, Christmas parades. And then there’s the Alcorn County Basketball Tournament. The time is upon us as the annual event gets underway Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena. The complete seeding bracket and tournament schedule can be found in today’s sports section. Looking back on last year’s tournament finals, the Biggersville girls and Corinth boys won the championship trophies.
The Lady Lions topped Corinth 63-59 before both squads finished the season strong and advanced to the state tournament. The Warriors claimed the boys’ title with a 73-57 decision over Kossuth and later finished the season as the Division 1-4A state champions with a monumental victory over McComb. Last year’s ACT girls championship was the 12th for the Lady Lions, while the Warriors won their 42nd county title. In fact, Corinth has been dominant recently on the boys side, winning 10 straight and 17 of the last 18 tournament championships. This year, CHS is again the No. 1 boys’ seed, but it was close. The Kossuth Aggies came with a game of being the top boys’ seed but a loss just before the Christmas
break placed them in the No 2 slot. The seedings for the county tournament are based on a team’s record at the Christmas break. When you take a peek at the seedings for the junior varsity teams, you’ll notice that Biggersville does not have a team enetered in this year’s tournament. Thus, the top seed on each side of the JV bracket receive byes. This year that will be the Kossuth girls and Alcorn Central boys. Both those teams will automatically advance to the tournament finals on Saturday. There is a possibility the varsity finals could be rematches of last year’s championship game matchups as the Biggersville and Corinth girls and Corinth and Kossuth boys are on opposite sides of the bracket.
That possibility is much more likely on the boys’ side than on the girls’, but stranger things have been known to happen at the Alcorn County Tournament. Never count out the underdog as they always have something to prove. And there’s not a better stage to prove it on than this. We will have complete coverage of the tournament with game boxscores and stories as well as action photographs to place in your memory books. With the way the brackets are set up, each school will be represented on both Thursday and Friday. And likely Saturday. The time is now, so get out your pom-poms and team flags and get set to enjoy the 68th annual Alcorn County Tournament at the Crossroads Arena.

USC, ’Bama and Clemson star on AP’s All-Bowl Team The Associated Press

OUTSIDE THE HUDDLE The San Diego Chargers have until Jan. 15 to exercise an option to move to Los Angeles for next season and eventually become a tenant in the new stadium the Rams are building. The city of San Diego made one last push by upping its proposed contribution toward a new stadium, but it’s still $100 million below what the team asked for. The NFL could step in and bridge that gap, but it will likley have to decide to do so quickly. The Chargers are looking for a new coach, and any new hire would probably want to know where he will be living and working next season before taking the job. ... Speaking of timelines, it will be a very busy weekend for several assistant coaches even if their teams earned byes for Wild Card Weekend. NFL rules stipulate that assistant coaches for playoff teams with byes can interview through
the end of the ďŹ nal wild-card game on Sunday. After that they are off limits until their team is eliminated from the postseason or wins the Super Bowl. Names to keep an eye on include Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia; Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan; and Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub. Coordinators being mentioned as possible head coaches whose teams are in action this weekend include Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. ... This will mark the sixth consecutive Wild Card Weekend that New England has earned the right to bypass. The Patriots last failed to earn a bye in 2009, when they lost to the Jets at home in a Wild Card game. They have advanced to every AFC Championship game since.
Who’s the MVP? The NFL MVP debate promises to be heated. Should Tom Brady win after going 11–1 with 28 TDs and just 2 INTs? What about Aaron Rodgers, who led the NFL in touchdown passes and threw 15 with zero interceptions during a six-game winning streak to close the season? Either would be a ďŹ ne choice, but we’re going with Matt Ryan. Ryan led the league’s top offense all season, helping the Falcons to a division title and a ďŹ rst-round bye. He was also nearly as good as Rodgers over the last six weeks, going 5–1 with 14 TDS and 2 INTs. The only loss was to Kansas City on a uke blocked PAT return.

COACHING CAROUSEL Buffalo Bills (7–9) Rex Ryan was ďŹ red with one game left to play, with offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn coaching a Week 17 loss to the Jets. No one is sure why Ryan was ďŹ red; GM Doug Whaley says he didn’t know it was happening until after the owners (who aren’t talking) did it, and he didn’t ask why. Lynn is reportedly the frontrunner, but Whaley says he will lead a thorough search and that the owners will make the ďŹ nal call on a new coach. That’s a long way of saying the Bills are a mess. Denver Broncos (9–7) One year after winning the Super Bowl, Gary Kubiak retired due to health concerns. Kubiak suffered from a complex migraine condition this season that required hospitalization. He also suffered a miniature stroke back in 2013 as the head coach of the Houston Texans. Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan are expected to be candidates. Jacksonville Jaguars (3–13) Gus Bradley was ďŹ red after a Week 15 loss, leaving him with a 14–48 record over three-plus seasons with the team. His .226 win percentage is the worst in the Super Bowl era among coaches with a minimum of 50 games. The Jags went 1–1 under interim coach Doug Marrone, who is in the running for the permanent job. Tom Coughlin has reportedly also interviewed. Los Angeles Rams (4–12) Just a few months after handing Jeff Fisher a two-year contract extension, the Rams pulled an about-face on Dec. 12, ďŹ ring the longtime head coach. Special teams coordinator John Fassel, the son of former Giants head coach Jim Fassel, was named the team’s interim head coach. In addition to the hot coordinator names, Saints head coach Sean Payton has been mentioned as a possibility. San Diego Chargers (5–11) The Chargers may have a new home in Los Angeles next season, so ownership decided they would also have a new coach despite GM Tom Telesco reportedly backing Mike McCoy. While a rash of injuries certainly contributed to this season’s record, McCoy won just nine games total in 2015-16 after going 9–7 in each of his ďŹ rst two seasons. San Francisco 49ers (2–14) On the surface, the 49ers look like as big a mess as the Bills (see above) after giving Chip Kelly just one season before ďŹ ring him. But at least San Francisco also ďŹ red GM Trent Baalke and is leaving no stone unturned in an effort to ďŹ nd the right people to run the football operation. Photo credits: Athlon Sports
Swinney: Clemson has ‘more juice’ this time around vs. ’Bama The Associated Press
CLEMSON, S.C. — No long stretches of games. More depth on defense. All in all, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney believes he has a fresher, steadier group heading into this year’s national championship game with No. 1 Alabama. Swinney said his Tigers were impacted in 2015 by 10 consecutive weeks of grueling football from late September until the Atlantic Coast Conference title game in early December. On top of that, Swinney’s defense was chock full of front line stars, yet had little experienced depth behind them. That’s not the case this time around, at least not in Swinney’s eyes when No. 3 Clemson (13-1) looks to take down the Crimson Tide (14-0) on Monday night in
Tampa, Florida. “I feel like we have more juiceâ€? than when the Tigers faced Alabama a season ago, Swinney said Tuesday. Clemson’s certainly playing with more confidence. The Tigers turned an expected tight game with No. 2 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl into a 31-0 runaway , the third shutout of the season for a defense that lost six starters with college eligibility left to the NFL draft. “We were top heavy, especially defensively. We were one deep on the line and that took a toll on us,â€? Swinney said. “The biggest dierence in our team was we kind of had more competitive depth. We were going to have more guys functionally ready to play winning
football.� That’s apparent on the defensive line where Clemson has lost seven starters over the last two years, yet is permitting just 123 yards rushing per game this season. Younger players like defensive end Clelin Ferrell, Austin Bryant and Albert Huggins spent last season finding their way and getting little playing time behind dominant starters Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd, both high round NFL draft picks who were one-two nationally in tackles for loss. The work paid o this season when Ferrell led a strong group that knew it couldn’t be the ones who let Clemson’s tradition defensive excellence — the Tigers have finished in the top 10 nationally
on defense each of the past three seasons — falter with them. The line was boosted by fivestar freshman Dexter Lawrence, a nimble 340-pounder who controls the middle and allows the rest of Clemson’s defenders to harass quarterbacks and take down tailbacks. Defensive tackle Carlos Watkins, a senior, led the Tigers with 10 1-2 sacks after getting just 3 1-2 his first three seasons. “We couldn’t let the moment get too big for us,� said Ferrell, who had three tackles behind the line in the Ohio State rout. Next up is a much bigger moment against Alabama, which outlasted the Tigers 45-40 in last year’s national championship game. Clemson’s defense gave up just
138 yards rushing to Alabama last year, but Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry ran for three scores including a 50-yard TD for the Crimson Tide’s opening score. More crushing were the 53 and 51 yard touchdown passes from Jake Coker to tight end O.J. Howard that stung Clemson’s secondary, a unit that had three of last year’s four starters selected in the 2016 NFL draft. Swinney said the names might not be as familiar to fans, but this year’s players are just as eective. They are also infused with the belief they deserve to match up with Alabama for the game’s top prize. “The biggest thing from last year is that they know they belong,â€? Swinney said. “They know they’re good enough.â€?

DILBERT

Dear Annie: I used to get by on six hours of sleep a night, but as I’ve gotten older, I really like to sleep for a full eight or nine hours every night. But the problem is that it is not always easy to sleep that long, especially if I am snoring a lot. I snore so loudly that my wife sometimes asks me to sleep on the couch, or she will sleep there herself. But even if I am alone, my snoring is so bad that sometimes it wakes me up. I know that sounds funny, but it’s true. I am really looking for any suggestions you have for more restful sleep. I do know that when I try to get by on less than eight hours of sleep, I am much more susceptible to colds and the flu. When I manage to sleep eight or nine hours a night, I always feel much better and almost never get sick. My wife would also appreciate your help with this. She knows I can’t control the snoring, but her patience is wearing thin. — Snoring in Slumberland Dear Snoring: Everyone has a favorite “stop snoring” remedy. Ask around and you’re likely to hear dozens: Take a hot shower before bedtime; use a saline rinse to clear the nasal passages; don’t drink alcohol; lose weight;
Dear Annie tape tennis balls to your back so you sleep on your side, etc. All of those are worth trying, but the best thing for you to do is visit your doctor. He or she can review your symptoms and refer you to a sleep specialist for evaluation, as it’s possible you’re suffering from sleep apnea. Sleep apnea not only deprives you of those wonderful full-slumber nights but also is incredibly dangerous if left untreated. For your health and the health of your marriage, it’s important to put this problem to bed as soon as possible. Dear Annie: After reading the letter from “Confused Young Life in California,” the young man who is incarcerated, I am begging you to please stop telling millennials, “You can still be whoever you want.” This is how we parents have messed up our children. We have told them all their lives that they can do whatever they want to do in life if they simply work hard enough. It is just not true, and intellectually, you know that. We all do.
This is particularly true for someone coming out of prison. Such a person has the deck stacked against him because he is a former criminal. Period. This young man needs to hear the unvarnished truth. He can still become a contributing member of society. But because of his actions, he most likely will not be able to be whoever he wants to be. Words of encouragement are powerful, but they need to be used in a realistic way. Before this young man can achieve a meaningful life, he needs to have an arsenal of truth. — DBS Dear DBS: Notice that I said this young man can be “whoever,” not “whatever,” he wants — a matter of heart, not aptitude. Every morning, we open our eyes and get to decide what type of person we want to be that day. What I want is for this young man to see that there’s a light within him just waiting to shine. But to your point: Yes, it’s important to have realistic goals. But it’s just as important to have improbable, idealistic, get-laughed-out-ofthe-room goals. Planning for the worst doesn’t mean you have to stop hoping for the best.
