Candidates continue to qualify Constable won’t seek re-election

BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Basket fund tops $18,100 The spirit of giving the holiday season is alive and well in the Alcorn County area.

Donations are still needed this year for the 19th Annual Corinth Rotary Club/Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket Fund.

A $25,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 6. Baskets were given away based upon faith the goal will be reached.

So far, $18,114 has been raised, meaning $6,886 still needs to be raised to make the goal. The deadline to give has been extended to Friday, Jan. 16.

Recent donations include $100 from Mr. and Mrs. Van E. Hedges in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Vann.

Contributions to the Christmas Basket Fund can be made “in honor of” or “in memory of” a special person or persons. The tribute will be published in the Daily Corinthian.

Donations can be brought by the newspaper office 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.: Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

The list of candidates for county office has seen a few more additions this week.

One who will not be joining the list is Post 1 Constable Chuck Hinds, who confirms that he is not seeking a second term.

“I have appreciated the opportunity to serve,” said Hinds. “Now that I have been appointed deputy chief at the Corinth Police Department,

I want to devote full-time to that.”

Three candidates are in the running for that post thus far.

One hopeful who plans to be in the running for sheriff but has not yet filed his statement of intent with the circuit clerk is David Nunley, a safety investigator with the Mississippi

Highway Patrol - Motor Safety Division. Nunley tells the Daily Corinthian he will not file until the day of the qualifying deadline, Feb. 27, because he will have to resign his position once his campaign for public office begins. He plans to run Please see CANDIDATES | 2A

Snow day Kossuth dad creates winter wonderland

BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

KOSSUTH — Allie and Hayden Bradford spent most of the day playing in up to five inches of snow.

While the rest of the area spent an uneventful day inside due to frigid lows which rose only to the 20s, the Bradford children broke out the sled at their 1219 Highway 2 home.

Mother Nature isn’t the one who treated the tikes to the snow day. Their dad, Dusty came up with the idea which covered the family’s front yard with snow.

“We’ve had several people stop already this morning,” said Mary Allison Bradford, of her husband’s snow work.

Dusty Bradford had wanted to unveil his snow machine for Christmas.

“It was just too warm,” he said.

So at 3 a.m. Thursday, Bradford let it snow. Plans called for another around of Staff photo by Steve Beavers

Katie Aldridge wanted to be the first.

The 16-year-old Corinth High School student got her wish Thursday morning.

Aldridge, the daughter of Jody and Lisa Aldridge, became the initial early graduate at CHS since the school incorporated the Cambridge International curriculum.

Aldridge, dressed in her cap and gown, was honored with over 140 other students for meeting college standards during the CHS Cambridge Awards Ceremony.

Instead of spending her junior and senior years at CHS, Aldridge is enrolled at Northeast Mississippi Community College and hopes to begin the school’s nursing program next year.

“Katie was willing to try after the legislature passed the law allowing students to graduate high school early based on standards and not time in the classroom,” said Dana Bullard, Cambridge Curriculum Coordinator.

Aldridge wanted to be the first for more than personal accolades.

“I wanted to do it so every-

The Corinth District is in its fourth year of the curriculum at the high school and second year for 6th, 7th and 8th graders.

Three divisions of Cambridge are being taught in the district. Secondary is being

taught in grades 6-8. International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is set up to prepare students for community college or technical certification. All freshmen and sophomores take classes in the core subjects of English, math, science, and history with the intent to get an IGCSE diploma at the completion of the sophomore year or to prepare themselves for advanced classes.

Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) is the final division incorporated by the district. The study is for junior and seniors who want to prepare themselves for the workload expected at a university. Classes are taught in English, math, science, and Please see STUDENTS | 2A

Bradford came up with making his own snow after hearing about it at work.

“I didn’t realize something like that could be done around here,” he said.

Basically, the machine combines a pressure washer and air hose to spit out artificial snow.

According to Bradford,

OPEN MON-SAT 10AM-7PM

the machine blows out water like one might see at a car wash. The top three openings send out water while a fourth produces air and water and when it combines with the other three snow is made. Machine made snow is made up of exactly the same stuff as natural snow – frozen water.

Bradford said most of the material to construct the snow device can be found at Lowe’s. Cost to

complete the project is in the $200 neighborhood.

Even if the real stuff doesn’t come this winter, the Bradford children plan on spending more time sledding.

“The kids woke up and couldn’t believe it,” said Mary Allison.

Allie had a question though.

“She wanted to know why the rest of the neighborhood didn’t have any,” said Mary Allison with a smile.

The goal of the program is to prepare students to be successful at any college.

“Four years ago when we made the commitment to raise the academic standards, we never dreamed where it would go,” said Corinth School District Superintendent Dr. Lee Childress. “It is extremely important to have a recognition ceremony like today … it is indeed a great day.”

A quartet of students – Aldridge, Avery Shappley, Silvia Barreto and Emma Knight – received IGCSE Medallions.

Students, Frances Bullard, Katie Jones, Hannah Shea, Savannah Smith, Elizabeth Whitehurst, Grace Ann Wilbanks, Heather Kocurek, Reid Thompson and Shappley, were presented an AICE diploma.

“We want to make sure we are putting them on the path to do that and will continue to enhance the programs we offer.”

The hardest thing for Aldridge was not knowing if she met the standards.

“I had to wait three months for the test scores,” she said. “I didn’t know if I was going to be a junior in high school or college freshman.”

The wait was worth it for the first early graduate.

“It’s ten times better than I imagined,” she said. “I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Aldridge offered some advice for those considering early graduation.

“Work hard and do not get discouraged,” she said. “It’s all worth it if this is what God wants you to do … I knew in the fifth and sixth grade I wanted to do something different.”

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 10, 1776, Thomas Paine anonymously published his influential pamphlet, “Common Sense,” which argued for American independence from British rule.

On this date: In 1870, John D. Rockefeller incorporated Standard Oil. In 1901, the Spindletop oil field in Beaumont, Texas, produced the Lucas Gusher, heralding the start of the Texas oil boom.

In 1914, a Utah grocer and his son were shot to death in their Salt Lake City store; police arrested labor activist Joe Hill, who was later convicted and executed, becoming a martyr to America’s organized labor movement.

In 1964, Vee-Jay Records released “Introducing... The Beatles,” an album which ran into immediate legal opposition from Capitol Records, which was about to come out with its own album, “Meet the Beatles!”

(After a court battle, the two companies reached a settlement.)

In 1971, “Masterpiece Theatre” premiered on PBS with host Alistair Cooke introducing the drama series “The First Churchills.”

In 1984, the United States and the Vatican established full diplomatic relations for the first time in more than a century.

In 2000, America Online announced it was buying Time Warner for $162 billion (the merger, which proved disastrous, ended in Dec. 2009).

Inmate wins chance at appeal in decades-old rape case

The Labor Department reported that U.S. employers added just 74,000 jobs in December 2013. Larry Speakes, who’d spent six years as acting press secretary for President Ronald Reagan, died in Cleveland, Mississippi.

Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi Supreme Court is giving Richard Chapman a chance to argue he deserves a new trial.

The justices on Thursday granted Chapman’s

petition to look at his case.

Chapman, now 50, has faced many obstacles in his decades-old quest for a new trial.

The destruction — by court order — of biologi-

cal samples and other evidence could hurt efforts to clear his name.

Also, two witnesses that could aid Chapman’s case are dead and there apparently is no trial transcript.

Chapman was 16 in 1981, when he was charged with raping and robbing a woman.

Chapman was convicted in Hinds County and sentenced to life in prison in 1982 for rape

plus four years for robbery.

Mississippi courts have denied several petitions from Chapman. The U.S. Supreme Court denied a similar petition last October.

Corinth, Miss.

Boehner has more pressing problems STARKVILLE — The 114th Congress officially took office this week and most of the national attention was directed at how Republican House members cast their votes for House Speaker John Boehner, who Sid Salter was re-elected to the speakerColumnist ship by a margin of 216 to 192, with a total of 408 lawmakers voting.

Opponents needed 29 Republican votes against Boehner to unseat him. Some 25 GOP members voted against him, marking the biggest revolt against an incumbent speaker in more than a century. Republicans in the Mississippi delegation voted for Boehner.

Much of the opposition came from conservative members of Boehner’s party who were angry – among other things – about the fact that he pushed the so-called “CRomnibus” government spending bill to passage last month without extracting concessions from President Obama on issues like immigration or the Affordable Care Act. One GOP member who voted against Boehner told the media: “I think the 25 of us who voted the way we did - we represented the frustration of the American people.”

Perhaps they did, but the fact is that the vote was far more about political optics than about any substantive change in federal spending.

An analysis of U.S. Office of Management and Budget figures for Fiscal Year 2015 federal spending shows a U.S. government prepped to spend around $3.9 trillion. Some 65 percent of that total is comprised of “mandatory spending.” Mandatory Spending is federal spending that is obligation based on existing laws rather than the budgeting process.

Social Security spending is based on current laws that define eligibility for benefits under that program. The same is true for other federal entitlement programs. Auburn University political scientist Paul M. Johnson has specified a laundry list of such programs that “include Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, most Veterans’ Administration programs, federal employee and military retirement plans, unemployment compensation, food stamps, and agricultural price support programs.”

So that’s where $2.56 trillion or 65 percent of federal spending goes and Congress can’t impact that spending unless they change the laws that govern those entitlements – reduce eligibility, reduce benefits, eliminate services, and do so on a large and impactful scale.

The next six percent or $252 billion of the FY 2015 federal spending is obligated to interest on the federal debt. So far, 71 percent of FY 2015 federal spending is obligated by entitlements and debt service.

That leaves $1.16 trillion or 29 percent of federal spending to the category of “discretionary spending” or spending that a U.S. president seeks and Congress actually appropriates. It pays for national defense, education, housing, transportation, highways, and what we spend on international affairs – and on every other significant function of the federal government.

Where did the federal government get $3.9 trillion? Well, a National Priorities Project (nationalpriorities.org) analysis shows that $2.2 trillion or 56 percent came from tax revenues. Another $1.12 trillion or 29 percent came from “trust funds” like Social Security and Medicare taxes and others like them.

The remaining $561 billion (for the FY 2015 fiscal year alone) or 15 percent was borrowed.

Let’s recap. Two-thirds of federal spending is essentially on auto-pilot. The only concrete ways to change mandatory federal spending is to tackle the politically incendiary topics of federal entitlement spending by making significantly fewer people eligible for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other programs and to tighten the reins on benefits for those that remain eligible.

There are consequences to those actions.

Symbolic votes won’t solve all-too-real problems. Serious problems confront this nation.

Stunts, games and political guerilla warfare won’t solve them.

So, 25 House members voted against Boehner. Big deal. He’s got much more pressing problems. We all do.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, if I am sorrowing over disappointment and am forgetful, grant that I may see the things thou hast made, for which I should be thankful. Help me to so live that I may have a right to claim a cheerful heart. Amen.

A verse to share “Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.” Deuteronomy 29:9

When Obamacare came to Harvard Obamacare has come to Harvard, and the faculty is in a state of shock and dismay.

In what has to be considered an early contender for the most hilarious and enjoyable news story of the year, The New York Times recounts the tumult over Obamacare in Cambridge.

“For years,” the Times writes, “Harvard’s experts on health economics and policy have advised presidents and Congress on how to provide health benefits to the nation at a reasonable cost. But those remedies will now be applied to the Harvard faculty, and the professors are in an uproar.”

In other words, they are getting the change they believed in – good and hard.

As a wag commented on Twitter, karma is a pre-existing condition. The Harvard imbroglio is a little like the famously free-market University of Chicago economics faculty launching a revolt against tax cuts or deregulation.

As the saying goes, when you’ve lost the Harvard faculty ... you’ve lost self-satisfied elites who never imagined that the policies that they support imposing on everyone else might come back to bite them. Perhaps

President B a r a c k Obama can issue an executive order waiving ObamRich acare for Ivy Lowry League faculties that National believed his Review election was the dawn of a new era of enlightened rule.

The enrollment guide from Harvard’s humanresources department explains that rising healthcare costs, some caused by Obamacare, account for the changes hitting the pocketbooks of the custodians of learning at Harvard. It cites specifically free preventive services and the extension of coverage for younger adults up to age 26 (as well as the impending “Cadillac tax” on pricey health plans).

Q: How many Harvard professors does it take to figure out that free government benefits aren’t actually free? A: As many Harvard professors who are forced to pay the indirect costs of those benefits.

To the stupidity of the American voter, in Jonathan Gruber’s infamous phrase, can now be added the stupidity of the Harvard

faculty. If Gruber ever gets axed by MIT, he apparently shouldn’t expect a warm reception at Cambridge’s other elite university.

The obstructionists on the Faculty of Arts and Sciences voted by a lopsided margin against the healthcare changes, but they were too late.

According to the Times, history professor Mary D. Lewis is a leader of the faculty opposition, which makes her practically the Mitch McConnell of Harvard University. Let’s hope she has a plausible repealand-replace plan and isn’t merely campaigning on the power of sheer, nihilistic rejectionism.

Richard F. Thomas, a Virgil scholar, said the healthcare changes are “deplorable.” (Quoth the poet, “Each of us bears his own Hell.”) They are “deeply regressive.” (”It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be.”) And they are “a sign of the corporatization of the university.” (”O accursed hunger of gold, to what dost thou not compel human hearts!”)

Don’t worry, Harvard faculty, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is coming to the rescue. Who better than a Harvard Law graduate to swoop in to save professors at his dear old

alma mater from the consequences of their own folly?

Actually, the changes Harvard is experiencing are quite mild. By any measure, the school’s plan is still incredibly generous. Faculty will, for instance, now have an annual deductible of $250, which is hardly exorbitant.

Perhaps the Harvard faculty foolishly believed that other alum, President Obama, when he said Obamacare would save the average family $2,500?

In a properly constructed market, consumers – even including Harvard professors – should indeed bear more of the costs of their health care directly. But in today’s system, consumers tend not to have free choice of their plans, and Obamacare layers on top of that system costly mandates that make no sense.

The Harvard faculty can whine and stew all it likes, but the president has sent an unmistakable message to such malcontents: The law is the law. Harvard won the health-care debate years ago, and there’s no going back on it now.

Mario Cuomo: The rhetoric and the record How precious in the sight of progressives was one of their saints, Mario Cuomo, the three-term governor of New York who died last week at age 82. He was a model of progressivism and a gifted rhetorician.

In most media accounts, references were made to two speeches Cuomo delivered in 1984, one at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco where Walter Mondale was nominated for president, and the other at the University of Notre Dame where Cuomo spoke about abortion and the “proper” role of religion in politics.

The thing about progressivism is that it resembles floor wax – all shine and no depth. In his Democratic convention speech, Cuomo referenced Ronald Reagan’s line about America being a “shining city on a hill.” Cuomo responded, “A shining city is perhaps all the president sees from the portico of the White House or the veranda of his ranch, where everyone seems to be doing well. But there’s another city; there’s another part to the shining city. ...

In this part of the city, there

are more poor than ever. More families in trouble.

More and more people Cal who need Thomas help but can’t find it.

Columnist ... There are people who sleep in the city streets, in the gutter where the glitter doesn’t show.”

This is boilerplate Democratic rhetoric we’ve heard since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. After Democrats Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama, are fewer families in trouble? Are there fewer poor people, especially since Johnson’s “War on Poverty” promised to end it? Statistics reveal there are not, so why do so many embrace progressive ideas?

If something isn’t working, why repeat the errors?

As Reagan noted, government too often adds to problems; it doesn’t solve them. Government doesn’t create jobs; a thriving private economy does. Government welfare mostly doesn’t incentivize people

to escape poverty, but too often sustains them in poverty and addicts them to government handouts.

On the issue of church and state, Cuomo bisected the subjects in his Notre Dame speech. While he said he accepted Catholic teaching against capital punishment, he rejected its opposition to abortion. In this, the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin expressed opposition to both issues while eloquently arguing that the Catholic Church believes that each is part of a “seamless garment” of life and that all life matters and should not be taken by individuals, or the state.

This is another flaw of progressivism.

Progressives are happy to embrace church teachings when it favors their political agenda, but reject them when those teachings don’t conform to their politics.

My one encounter with Cuomo came after a column I wrote following his 2007 debate with former Speaker Newt Gingrich at Cooper Union in New York, the site of a famous speech by Abraham Lincoln. I said that Gingrich clearly won the

debate and made a mockery of Cuomo’s liberalism.

Cuomo called me and after identifying himself launched into a tirade that lasted about 90 seconds.

He then hung up giving me no opportunity to say much more than “hello, nice to hear from you.”

Vanity. Vanity.

Most obituaries and news reports called Cuomo “inspiring.” A New York Times editorial correctly noted: “For all his idealism, Mr. Cuomo’s years as governor were dogged by economic recession that blunted his hopes to leave great programs and innovation as his legacy. He had to cut services and scratch for scarce revenue.”

Inspiration is good if it motivates people to do for themselves and improve their lives. Otherwise, it’s nothing more than floor wax.

May Gov. Cuomo rest in peace.

State/Nation

Across the Nation Associated Press

California Sen. Boxer to retire WASHINGTON — California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, a tenacious liberal whose election to the Senate in 1992 heralded a new era for women at the upper reaches of political power, announced Thursday she will not seek re-election to a new term next year.

A staunch supporter of abortion rights, gun control and environmental protections, Boxer has said she is most proud of the vote that she cast against the war in Iraq.

Boxer’s retirement sets off a free-for-all among California Democrats, who have been ascendant in the state for decades with few offices to aspire to while Boxer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein have held a lock on the state’s U.S. Senate seats.

The 74-year-old Boxer made the announcement in an unusual video in which she answered questions posed by her grandson, Zach Rodham. “I am never going to retire.

The work is too important. But I will not be running for the Senate in 2016,” Boxer said.

Boxer was first elected to the House in 1982 and to the Senate one decade later. It was an election that marked a watershed year for women in politics, with four winning U.S. Senate seats.

Director named for first lady’s initiative WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama’s antichildhood obesity initiative is getting a new leader.

The White House announced Thursday that Debra Eschmeyer has joined the staff in a dual role. She’ll be executive director of the “Let’s Move” program and senior policy adviser for nutrition policy.

Eschmeyer takes over from Obama personal chef Sam Kass. He held both titles before leaving the White House last year.

Mrs. Obama says Eschmeyer spent her career making learn-

ing about nutrition fun and accessible for kids across the country.

Eschmeyer is a cofounder of a national service program called FoodCorps. Its members go into schools in 16 states and the District of Columbia to teach about food and nutrition, build and care for school gardens, offer cooking lessons and help revamp school lunches.

Nevada must reveal prison food content LAS VEGAS — An inmate’s complaint about Nevada prison food has the state Supreme Court ordering officials to say what’s in the sack lunches and “chef’s choice” dinners given to nearly 12,800 inmates, and whether it’s healthful.

A strongly worded ruling by a three-judge panel declares it’s not enough for the state’s top health officer, Dr. Tracey Green, to simply say inmates are not malnourished.

The court says Green has failed to provide required documentation to the Board of Prison Commissioners.

Green issued a statement Thursday saying state prison inspections are up-to-date, and promising to better document her review process.

The justices sent Robert Leslie Stockmeier’s case back to Carson City District Court with instructions that Green comply with state law and report twice-yearly on the nutritional adequacy of the prison diet.

Ceremony marks shooting in 2011 TUCSON, Ariz. — Nineteen solemn bells rang Thursday morning to honor the victims of a shooting in Tucson at a political event for then-Rep. Gabby Giffords four years ago.

Giffords did not attend the event but met with President Barack Obama during his visit to Phoenix.

“It was four years ago today that Gabby and some other wonderful Arizonans were gunned down outside a supermarket in Tucson.

lot of folks down there, we keep them in (our) thoughts and prayers,” Obama said. Obama said Giffords is doing great and is as energetic and passionate as always.

“She’s a hero and she’s a great Arizonan.

I’m really proud of her,” he said.

The ceremony in Tucson took place at 10:10 a.m. Thursday and included a bell-ringing for each of the 19 victims of the attack. Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild also hosted a bell-ringing ceremony at a fire station downtown.

“I think it’s important that we never forget what happened because there are a lot of lessons that can be learned from what happened,” said former Arizona Rep. Ron Barber, who was wounded in the shooting and who attended the ceremony.

Six people were killed and 13 were wounded in the shooting, including Giffords. She did not attend the ceremony and was not participating in any public events.

Deadline shifted for clinic Rivers visited NEW YORK — A federal agency has postponed a deadline at the New York City clinic where Joan Rivers suffered a fatal complication during a medical procedure.

The comedian died in September of brain damage due to lack of oxygen after she stopped breathing during an endoscopy. She was 81.

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services cited the clinic, Yorkville Endoscopy, for several errors, including failing to identify deteriorating vital signs and provide timely intervention.

The clinic had until Jan. 7 to correct problems. The federal agency said Thursday that compliance date has been postponed, because its final report isn’t ready.

Deputies confiscate 17 pounds of coke BRANDON — Rankin County deputies have confiscated about 17 pounds of cocaine during a routine traffic stop.

Sheriff Bryan Bailey says in a news release that deputies stopped a pickup truck on Interstate 20 about 4 p.m.

Wednesday.

Bailey says that during that stop, the deputy suspected drugs or contraband could be inside the vehicle, so it was taken to the shop at the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department. A search found the drugs.

The driver of the truck, Adrian Rojas-Jaimes of Houston, Texas, is being held in the county jail on a charge of possession of cocaine.

Cops make arrest in Hernando homicide HERNANDO — Hernando police have arrested at 19-year-old woman in what authorities say is the northwest Mississippi city’s first homicide since 1996.

Police Chief Mile Riley says Tomeshia Odom is charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Jasmine Smith on Tuesday.

Riley says Odom is in the DeSoto County Jail on a $500,000 bond.

She is due in court on Jan. 14.

The program also offers to parents in their roles as primary caregivers and teachers of their children and to help parents move toward selfsufficiency.

Tanger announces plan for outlet mall SOUTHAVEN — Outlet mall operator Tanger is partnering Poag Shopping Centers on a development in Southaven, Mississippi.

Southaven and DeSoto County officials several years ago approved a $15 million tax increment financing plan in which bonds will be issued to pay for the infrastructure for the outlet mall.

In addition, the development has approval for $34 million in sales tax rebates for the 324,000-square-foot project on 33 acres along Interstate 55, about 4-1/2 miles south of Memphis.

The store line-up has not been announced. It is expected to include Tanger’s usual allotment of merchants such as The Gap, Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, Phillips-Van Heusen and Nike.

“We are excited to add Tanger Outlets Memphis to our existing portfolio of successful resort and destination properties,” said Steven B. Tanger, President and CEO of Greensboro, North

Carolina-based Tanger Outlets.

Aide accused of theft from patient LUCEDALE — Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood says a nursing assistant used a patient’s credit cards and checks to steal more than $35,000.

Hood says 31-year-old Patricia Harris, of Moss Point, was charged with exploitation of a vulnerable person and three counts of forgery. Investigators with the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit arrested her on Tuesday.

Hood said Harris was a certified nursing assistant at a personal care home in Lucedale when she used the credit cards and checks.

Red Cross volunteer accused of fraud GULFPORT — Officials say a volunteer with the American Red Cross allegedly defrauded the agency out of $20,000 by filing false claims.

Attorney General Jim Hood says 43-year-old Wanda Perkins, of Gulfport, was charged with mail and wire fraud, false pretense and credit card fraud. She was arrested Monday night.

Hood says Perkins is accused of creating false claims of fires that destroyed homes and receiving money from the charity.

Sunflower County gets childcare grant INDIANOLA — The federal government is providing $3.3 million to Sunflower County to provide care for young children.

The funds will be made available through the Delta Health Alliance.

Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced the funding Wednesday.

Burwell says the funds will help the local Head Start program to add 200 children a year to pre-school programs.

The grant will help lowincome families by

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Watch for our new magazine coming Jan. 31 Crossroads Magazine Healthy Living.

Secret of son’s parentage weighs on mother’s mind D E A R ABBY: I am worried about how my 10-yearold son, “Jake,” will take some Abigail news he’s aware of Van Buren not yet. I wasn’t able to have Dear Abby children, so my husband and I turned to in-vitro, using a donated egg from a family member.

We thank God this method worked.

Our plan was to explain it to Jake when he got older, once he understood about the birds and the bees.

Now I am starting to get this fear that he will be very upset when he learns about it and be angry with us.

I don’t want him to go into a depression over it.

What should we do?

Should we wait like we planned?

Should we have told him already?

Or should we say nothing? -MOM IN CHICAGO DEAR MOM: Not knowing Jake, I can’t gauge his level of maturity.

I’m not sure why being told how special he is, and how grateful you and your husband

are to be his parents would send him into a depression.

But because you think it might, discuss this with a child psychologist before talking to your son.

Please don’t put this off, because if other family members know about the egg donation, it is only a matter of time before the cat will be out of the bag, and it’s better that Jake hears this information from you.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 23-yearold woman in grad school, and I have noticed something about my male friends.

Whenever they meet a new girl, the first comment out of their mouths is about her looks.

Then they will expound at length on her physical assets (or lack thereof).

Abby, it makes me furious.

Not only does it make me feel self-conscious about my own body, it also makes me angry that these talented, charming and outgoing girls are judged first by their cup size.

Is there anything I can say to my friends to make them amend their behavior?

Or am I being overly sensitive and need to accept that this is a “guy thing”?

Thanks for your input. -- OBJECTIFIED IN OMAHA DEAR OBJECTIFIED: It’s a guy thing.

That they talk this way in front

of you may indicate that they consider you “one of the guys.”

Since it bothers you, speak up and suggest they knock it off.

If you do, it may jar them back to reality.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I would love your take on a disagreement we’ve had since we were married. It’s the age-old question, “So, where did you two meet?”

We met abroad at a university exchange program and were introduced to each other by our school sponsors in the bar where all the students hung out.

We shook hands, exchanged greetings and I left right afterward.

I answer the question by saying, “We met in a bar.”

My wife says, “We met in university.”

Who’s right? -- BAR NONE? IN TEXAS DEAR BAR NONE: You both are, but have you never heard the adage, “A happy wife makes for a happy life”?

My advice is to stick with her version.

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).

There is a difference between ignoring advice altogether and choosing to disregard it. You’ll educate yourself and then deliberately forget what you learned in favor of finding your own way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

One way to assist yourself in making positive choices is to make them far in advance of when you must. Planning your food, work, play and rest very carefully will help you incorporate the new habits you want to establish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Powerful people need friends, too! Befriend the high-ranking officials of the group. Tonight, spending money on yourself won’t make you nearly as happy as spending it on someone else would.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your creative mind is abuzz and needs to wander and explore. At some point during the day, you would benefit from giving your-

self a stretch of free time to see what you can come up with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Certain people have a way of contaminating your clarity. Limit your exposure to these people today, and a strong sense of purpose will rise to the surface to guide your every move.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As hard as you try, you can never completely understand your love. Embrace the mystery, because it provides delightful tension in your relationship.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Instead of thinking about what could be, think about what is.

The current reality holds so much beauty and utility in it, and you’ll miss it all if you waste too much time wishing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Why survive when you can thrive? Add more responsibility to your plate, and you’ll quickly find out what’s really important.

Tonight, someone will send you subliminal love notes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Avoid giving the impression that you are angling for something, especially if you are.

People will throw up resistance if they know you want something.

Play it mellow, like there’s nothing in the world you really need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a sponge for knowledge. The best teacher of all will be firsthand experience. Dive in.

Things will not happen in the expected order, but everything will get handled nonetheless.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You like and admire a certain person, but you will not take the relationship to the next level until you feel sure that your styles mesh well together. Tonight will bring a test in this regard.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It will take a shift of perspective to move you to the next income level. This can’t be forced, but just knowing that you’ll have to see things differently will help free up your vision.

Today

Economic barometer

Ready to budge?

Wholesale companies have been restocking their warehouses in recent months, despite slower sales growth.

Stockpiles held by wholesale businesses rose 0.4 percent in October for the second month in a row, while sales edged up just 0.2 percent after a flat reading in September. Did wholesale firms continue to boost stockpiles in November? Find out today, when the Commerce Department reports November data.

The nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate has been holding steady the last couple of months at a six-year low of 5.8 percent.

And if forecasts by economists prove correct, expect that the Labor Department will report today that the rate didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t budge last month. While healthy job gains in recent months have helped to bring the unemployment rate down, the job market still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully healthy. Average wages have increased only 2.1 percent in the past 12 months.

Daughter questions how to help her mother Dear Annie: My parents Annie’s youLetcanmegotellfar.you a couple are getting divorced after of secrets: You are no lon22 years of marriage, and ger in college. Standards it seems to be strongly afMailbox may have changed, but it fecting my mother in a terribly negative way.

Mom has told me that she has contemplated suicide twice. Once, she even held my brother’s gun to her head.

Everyone in the family, including my grandmother, my aunts and even my boyfriend, thinks Mom needs counseling.

So how do I suggest it without making her think I’m calling her “crazy”?

And another problem is the cost. Mom may refuse to go because it’s too expensive.

Do you have any suggestions that may help? -Concerned Daughter Dear Daughter: All mentions of suicide should be taken seriously.

You are right that your mother could benefit from professional help, and it doesn’t need to be expensive.

Tell her you are worried about her and it might help if she talks to someone about her feelings.

Free and low-cost help is available through local churches, graduate school counseling departments, medical school psychology departments, United Way,

the YMCA, the YWCA, The Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org), NAMI (nami.org) and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (suicidepreventionhotline.org), and through support groups such as the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (dbsalliance.org) and Recovery International (lowselfhelpsystems.org). Do a little research on her behalf and make a suggestion, including a website or phone number, so she can get the help she needs. You could even offer to go with her.

Dear Annie: We recently hired a young woman at our business. Like many other 20-somethings, she doesn’t understand personal boundaries. May I use your column to give her some advice?

Dear Miss New Hire: Welcome to our company.

You got the job over five other highly qualified candidates, which means you are both smart and lucky, but you still have a lot to learn.

If you work hard here,

is still not acceptable to bring all of your problems into the office and discuss them at length. Twenty minutes complaining about your roommate is excessive. So is another 20 minutes on your boyfriend’s ex, your sister’s drinking, your mother’s bodily functions and who you slept with last night.

Not only are you wasting time, but you are disturbing others. And they will repeat everything you say to everyone they know -including your boss.

You would be so much better off asking questions and learning the workflow and the purpose of procedures. You are the only one who can make your career path a good one.

Start now. Look down the road to where you want to be. If your path continues as it is, I give you six months here. -- W.A. Dear W.A.: Thank you for your honesty.

Over-sharing is common, and not only with 20-somethings.

Too many people display their entire lives in front of the world and believe this is normal and acceptable. They do not understand the concept of privacy. We hope it will make a comeback soon.

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Kossuth’s three-game losing streak began with a 76-65 loss to Biggersville on Jan. 2.

Parrish Tice scored 11 of her game-high 29 points in the third, as Kossuth outscored Biggersville (7-10) 24-11.

Biggersville led by as many as 10 twice in the opening half and 30-22 at the break.

Tice scored nine of her team’s first 13 points in the third, pulling KHS to within 38-37 just under the at the midway point. The Lady Lions would get an and-one from Jada Tubbs to push the lead back out to 41-37 with 2:40 left in the quarter.

Barnes got a bucket of a second-chance opportunity then scored in transition to give the No. 1 seed a 46-41 lead heading into the final 8 minutes.

Daniel would scored 10 seconds into the fourth to extend the run to 11-0 and the lead to seven at 48-41. Elly Nash, who led BHS with 24 points, ended the Lady Lions’ 3:10 scoring drought with two of her five straight points in the fourth.

Nash concluded a 9-3 run to pull BHS to within 51-50 with 3:16 remaining. Tice had all the points in a four-point trip from a technical foul and ensuing possession to push the lead back out to seven with 1:57 remaining.

BHS wouldn’t go away, ty-

ing the game one final time with seven straight points over a 50-second span.

Tice ended the run and gave KHS a 59-57 lead with 15 seconds left before fouling out on the ensuing trip down the floor.

Tubbs hit 1-of-2 from the line with six seconds showing, but after being awarded the ball out of bounds on the rebound, the game-winning shot was off the mark.

Barnes followed Tice with 12 points, all coming in the middle quarters. Daniel added 11 of the bench.

Tubbs followed Nash with 14 points for the Lady Lions and had just one field goal in the first half as BHS built its 10-point lead. Savannah Davis chipped in 11, connecting Please see LADY AGGIES |11

Packers QB Rodgers back at practice GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned to practice for the Green Bay Packers on Thursday after sitting out with a left calf injury.

Rodgers was limited to a little more than half of the snaps during the team practice periods on Thursday. Coach Mike McCarthy said that Rodgers’ mobility “looked good.”

“Well, we have a game plan. He went down and did everything we asked him to do today,” McCarthy said.

“As far as what we do, how we do it, how much we do it, that’s what the game’s for.”

Rodgers missed two days of light practice last week, along with practice on Wednesday, to focus on treatment for the lingering calf injury. He has already said that he intends to play in Sunday’s playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.

“I didn’t notice him out there until I saw one ball that kind of squeaked through and went in for a touchdown,” veteran cornerback Tramon Williams said. “I said, ‘Oh, that’s why it squeaked through.

We’ve got No. 12 in the back.’ It’s a little different.”

Aggies hold off Lions to reach title game

BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

The Kossuth Aggies have become accustomed to playing on thwe opening night of the Alcorn County Tournament.

Usually, though, its been as the No. 4 seed.

Thursday night, top-seeded Kossuth got 28 points off the bench -- the last three by Beau Lee -- to hold off Biggersville 80-79 in overtime.

Kossuth (11-5) earned its

first appearance in the title game since 2007. The Aggies will face tonight’s Alcorn Central-Corinth winner on Saturday in search of their first ACT championship since 2007.

Biggersville, which had made the title game the previous two seasons, dropped to 5-12. The Lions rallied for a 65-61 win at Kossuth in their last outing and almost pulled the trick with a 31-point fourth quarter in the semifi-

nal round.

Instead, the game headed to overtime and Kossuth used a 14-13 advantage to advance for the first time in eight tournaments.

Kennedy Dye, who had 17 of the points off the bench, scored six in the opening quarter, giving Kossuth a 1211 lead with an and-one.

Biggersville reclaimed the lead in an early see-saw affair just 15 seconds into the second, before Kossuth pushed

the lead back out to 12.

An 11-0 run gave KHS a 2917 lead with 2:07 left until the break. Dye began the run with a bucket and nine straight points by the Wilchers -- six

by Jacob and a 3-pointer by Nik provided the remainder, Biggersville scored the final nine points to pull to within 29-26.

Late SEC hoops: Tennessee defeats MSU

BY DAVID BRANDT AP Sports Writer

STARKVILLE — Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall was fine with Detrick Mostella’s first 3-point shot. The second one — not so much.

But the freshman nailed them both and it was one of many contributions from unheralded players that helped the Volunteers beat Mississippi State 61-47 on Wednesday night in the Southeastern

Conference opener for both teams.

“He’s a guy who can give you an offensive burst off the bench — that’s what he does,” Tyndall said. “He’s not a guy that’s ever turned down a shot, I can promise you that.”

Kevin Punter led Tennessee with 15 points and Josh Richardson added 11. Derek Reese added eight points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

Richardson — who is one of

the Volunteers’ few veterans — said he was proud to see some of the young players like Mostella step up and contribute in an SEC win.

“I’ve got a lot of faith in my teammates,” Richardson said.

Tyndall, the first-year Volunteers coach, earned a win in his SEC debut.

Tennessee (9-4, 1-0 SEC) won using a suffocating defense, forcing Mississippi State (7-7, 0-1) into just 30.6

percent shooting (11 of 36) from the field.

Tennessee wasn’t great on offense either — going more than 12 minutes at one point during the first half without a field goal — but used a 22-5 run early in the second half to put the game away. The Volunteers never trailed in the second half and led by as many as 18.

Investigator: NFL should have sought more info The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The NFL failed to investigate the Ray Rice case properly, former FBI director Robert S. Mueller said in a report that also said he found no evidence the league received a video of the Ravens running back knocking out his fiancee in a casino elevator.

“The NFL should have done more with the information it

had and should have taken additional steps to obtain all available information about the Feb. 15 incident,” Mueller said in a statement after releasing his 96-page report.

Mueller said he can find no evidence the league received the video showing Rice striking his fiancee before it was published online in September. A law enforcement official showed The Associated

Press videos of the incident and said he mailed a DVD to NFL headquarters in April.

The report said a review of phone records and emails of NFL employees showed no evidence that anyone in the league had seen the video before Commissioner Roger Goodell initially suspended Rice for two games.

The private investigation, without subpoena power, did

not include any contact with the law enforcement official who showed the AP the videos. The officer played the AP a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number dated April 9, in which a woman verifies receipt of the DVD and says: “You’re right, it’s terrible.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to be pretty offensively,â&#x20AC;? Tyndall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are what we are.â&#x20AC;?

Mississippi State has lost seven of nine games dating back to Nov. 29.

The Bulldogs shot just 24 of 44 (54.5 percent) on free throws.

Gavin Ware led Mississippi State with 12 points and nine rebounds, but was sitting on the bench during much of the second half while Tennessee made its second half charge. Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said Wareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense was hurting the Bulldogs.

Tennessee won despite constant foul trouble and 18 turnovers. The Volunteers committed 32 fouls and three players fouled out, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter much because the Bulldogs couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convert on their free throws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This game boiled down to our inability to make free throws,â&#x20AC;? Ray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did what we wanted to do against their zone, which was attack and get the ball into the paint and we got to the line 44 times.â&#x20AC;?

The Volunteers broke the game open when Mostella made backto-back 3-pointers in a span of 8 seconds in the second half. He sank the first one from the corner, immediately stole the inbounds pass and then hit another off-balance try from the same spot to push Tennessee ahead 38-27 with about 13 minutes remaining. It was

the only six points Mostella scored the entire game. The quick burst of offense was a rarity.

It was a strange, sloppy first half that featured more combined turnovers (20) than made field goals (14).

Tennessee jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first five minutes, but Mississippi State responded with its own 12-point run to tie the game.

The Volunteers led 2623 at halftime. Devon Baulkman led Tennessee with 10 points and three rebounds in the first half.

Mississippi State has struggled badly over the last month, with embarrassing non-conference losses to Arkansas State, USC Upstate and McNeese State. And an ugly game against the Volunteers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to stop the slide.

The Bulldogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting five combined for just 17 points and the bench couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make up the difference.

TIP-INS Mississippi State came into conference play last in 3-point shooting percentage, making just 49 of 185 (26.5 percent) from long range. The Bulldogs made just 1 of 9 from 3-point range on Wednesday ... Tennessee has won 10 out of the last 13 in the series, including four straight.

Boston is U.S. bidder for 2024 Summer Olympics

BY JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Athens of America might get its chance to host the Olympics.

The USOC picked Boston on Thursday as the American nominee for the 2024 Summer Games, choosing the sports-mad academic and high-tech Hub over San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington. Boston will be competing against Rome and possible entries from Germany, France and Hungary when the International Olympic Committee makes its decision in 2017.

President Barack Obama, who went to Harvard Law School, congratulated the city and promised his support for bringing the Summer Olympics back to the United States for the first time since the 1996 Games were in Atlanta.

Boston Mayor Marty

Walsh, who attended the bid presentations last month, said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;an exceptional honorâ&#x20AC;? to be chosen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This selection is in recognition of our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent, diversity and global leadership,â&#x20AC;? the first-term mayor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to host an Olympic and Paralympic Games that are innovative, walkable and hospitable to all. Boston hopes to welcome the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest athletes to one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great cities.â&#x20AC;? In presenting its bid to the USOC, Boston promised a move away from the expensive and ultimately abandoned venues that plagued games in cities from Beijing to Sochi. The Olympics would take advantage of the 100 colleges and universities in the area to host events and house athletes and media.

The bid also put its faith in an upgrade of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aged public

RICE

transportation system to do the work of the buses and Olympic-only lanes used by past host cities. It proposed a marshalling of the regions hundreds of thousands of college students to work as translators and volunteers.

Boston lacks a venue for a main Olympic stadium, and initial plans are to build a temporary venue just south of the city. But the Games could also take advantage of Fenway Park, the historic home of the Boston Red Sox; the TD Garden, the home of the Bruins and Celtics; a harbor that is ideal for sailing and a marathon tradition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if not the course itself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is the most prestigious in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are passionate about sports because we believe in the power of sport to transform our city and inspire the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth,â&#x20AC;? bid chairman John Fish said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A

Boston Games can be one of the most innovative, sustainable and exciting in history and will inspire the next generation of leaders here and around the world.â&#x20AC;?

Gov. Charlie Baker, who was sworn in earlier Thursday, said he would work to keep costs down and deliver on the promise of a privately funded Olympics. The group No Boston Olympics has complained that the bid process was done in secret, with only loose details released so far, while doubting that Games could be staged without public funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The history of the Olympics is that it always costs taxpayers,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Dempsey, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially concerning when they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released the bid. How are we supposed to take them at their word when we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the details?â&#x20AC;?

School weather closure decision is multi-faceted My friend Jimmy Carl, a retired Marine and writer who lives in Birmingham, and I have joked before that when people gripe about hot weather, he reminds them that it IS summer in the South. I’d like to know what his response would have been to this week’s excruciatingly frigid weather.

Many people seemed to have their opinions about it, and I witnessed those opinions expressed across my Facebook news feed.

One friend with whom I graduated and who lives in Arkansas was critical of schools closing due to cold weather.

I took the side of school directors and boards who decide to close school on brutally cold days. Yes, I am a teacher, and, yes, I do like to stay home and sleep late on “weather days,” but I also consider more than simply my own personal desires when taking a stance on the is-

sue.

I reminded her that small children have to wait outside Stacy for indeJones terminate lengths The of time Dowtowner on school buses, particularly in rural McNairy County, where I teach, and at one of our elementary schools, students have to go outside from one building to another.

It’s a bit worrisome to have small children, especially those as young as four and five-yearolds—some of whom may not have adequate winter clothing—exposed to such harsh temperatures, particularly negative-degree wind chills.

Her response was that kids need to “toughen up,” and at least one other person responded to

back her up. I’m sure she would agree with an opinion/editorial that I read in the Chicago Tribune this week, the headline for which read “Toughen up kids: Cold is a lousy excuse to close schools.”

It’s not difficult to guess the content of that piece of commentary. However, we are not Chicagoans down here; we are Southerners, unaccustomed to brutally cold weather.

“Yankee” bodies—a term my friend Jimmy Carl would most certainly use—may have been made for such weather, but ours were not.

I also reminded my friend and her fellow Facebook respondents that we live in a much more litigious society than when she and I were children attending school. Therefore, the decision to close schools is based, at least in part, on consideration for the children, but I’m sure that the decision is

also partially intended to protect school systems. A school bus breaking down in a remote rural area, for instance, and trapping children in the bitter cold for an extended period of time could cause a potential problem.

When our school district was closed Thursday, our director of schools sent out an e-mail regarding the closing. Besides the “extremely cold temperatures and wind chills,” he also mentioned mechanical failures at some of the schools, which I’m sure referred to inadequate or malfunction heating systems.

At our high school, ironically, the atmosphere has been too hot. The almost school-wide thermostat does not work, and therefore the heat is either on or off in most classrooms, many of which have no outside windows or doors. The closest outside-door to my room

is two classrooms down, which makes it impossible to let in fresh, cold air when the room temperature gets too hot.

On Wednesday, one of our administrators turned off the heat, which was a great relief to most of us. My room had stayed in the 80-degree range all week. The temperature was as high as 86 degrees one morning when I got to school. It didn’t drop below 80 degrees in my room all week.

Furthermore, the flu is still apparently raging in our school system, another rationale for our school closing. Custodians were instructed in the e-mail from the director of schools to report Thursday for a half-day in order to disinfect doorknobs, restrooms, and any fixtures that might be susceptible to germs.

Apparently, I had contracted some strain of the flu right before the Christ-

mas break and suffered with it for over a week.

After three days back at school, I have been feeling flu-ish again, and I hope I haven’t picked up a different strain.

Nevertheless, it’s important to consider many aspects of the situation before making a decision, and the best decisions are made by those wellversed in the situation, as any director of schools should be. Otherwise, it’s very easy to criticize.

And, ultimately, in theory, we should not lose too many days to brutally cold weather, at least around here. After all, as my friend Jimmy Carl points out, it IS the South.

Selfie sticks: Tourist convenience or purely narcissi-stick?

BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

NEW YORK — Selfies at tourist attractions are nothing new. But until recently, if you wanted a perfectly composed picture of yourself with Times Square or the Colosseum in the background, you might have asked a passer-by to take the photo.

Now, though, relatively new gadgets called selfie sticks make it easy to take your own wideangled self-portraits or group shots. Fans say the expandable rods, which allow users to hold their cellphones a few feet away, are the ultimate convenience: no more

bothering passers-by to take pictures, no more fretting about strangers taking lousy shots or running off with a pricey iPhone.

But some travelers bemoan the loss of that small interaction that came with politely asking a local to help preserve a memory. And critics express outright hatred of selfie sticks as obnoxious symbols of self-absorption. They even have a derisive name for them, playing on the narcissistic behavior they think the sticks encourage: narcissi-stick.

Sarah Kinling of Baltimore said she was approached “17 times” by

vendors selling selfie sticks at the Colosseum in Rome. “They’re the new fanny pack — the quickest way to spot a tourist,” she said. “The more I saw them in use, the more I saw how much focus people were putting on selfies, and not turning around to see what they were there to see.”

But some travelers say it’s better to stage your own vacation photos. Andrea Garcia asked a passer-by to take her photo in Egypt and later realized he’d zoomed in on her face, cutting out the pyramids behind her.

“I couldn’t really be mad at him — he wasn’t my photographer, I didn’t

pay him,” she said. The experience made her appreciate the selfie sticks she sees tourists using at 1 World Trade near her office in Lower Manhattan.

“Take control of your image!” she says.

Selfie sticks are just starting to show up at attractions in the U.S., but they’re ubiquitous in many destinations overseas, from Dubai’s skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. A soccer stadium in London, White Hart Lane, has even banned them because they obstruct other fans’ views.

The sticks range in price from $5 to $50. Simpler models merely grip the phone, so users must

trigger the shot with a self-timer on the camera.

More sophisticated versions either use Bluetooth technology or connect the phone to the stick with a cord, with a button on the grip triggering the shot.

Jasmine Brett Stringer of Minneapolis writes a lifestyles blog called “Carpe Diem with Jasmine” and uses selfie sticks to record her videos. “A friend brought one back from Dubai and I said, ‘I’ve got to get one,’” she said. The sticks are also an improvement over hand-held selfies because they let you shoot “at better angles, avoid the awkward arm reach and the dreadful half-face shot.”

Megan Marrs of Boston, who writes a travel blog called Vanishing Balloons, thought the sticks were ridiculous when she saw them on a trip to South Korea last fall. “It seemed so vain and silly,” said Marrs. But she bought one to bring home as a gift, ended up trying it herself and became a fan.

“I don’t love intruding on other people’s experience, asking them to take my picture — they’re there to enjoy their time, too,” she said. “Sometimes I feel silly — one more tourist taking a selfie in front of the Colosseum — but I’m more comfortable doing it myself than asking someone else.”

Andrew Jackson home pushes 7th president’s rock star image TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press

NASHVILLE, TN — Andrew Jackson: President.

Hero. Rockstar.

So reads a billboard welcoming arrivals at the Nashville International Airport, attempting to lure them from the honky-tonks of downtown Broadway to Jackson’s historic home called The Hermitage a few miles to the east.

A new exhibit there encourages visitors to remember that the man with the lofty forehead and towering hair portrayed on the $20 bill had the star power of an Elvis Presley or Kanye West back in his day. It’s part of a broader makeover effort to move Jackson’s image from a half-remembered “Old Hickory” caricature to a man whose vision changed the presidency

and the nation and whose legacy can still be felt today.

“Andrew Jackson, Born for a Storm” is the first major content change to The Hermitage’s exhibition space in 25 years.

Perhaps surprisingly, the new exhibit is also the first at the historic home to focus on Jackson and his legacy.

It comes at a time when The Hermitage hopes to take advantage of a renewed interest in Jackson, helped along by the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography “American Lion” and Broadway rock musical “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.”

Jackson, America’s seventh president, is often remembered for his infamous campaign of Indian removal. He pushed through the 1830 Indian Removal Act, un-

der which multiple tribes were forced away from their land.

The “rock star” comparison might seem like a stretch, but take this example: Jackson’s raucous first inauguration was overrun by drunken wellwishers who tore up the White House furniture.

Jackson himself had to escape from a window and his supporters were only persuaded to leave when they moved the alcohol-laced punch onto the lawn.

“Jackson was the next great war hero after George Washington.

People really felt like he had saved the country,” said Tony Guzzi, Hermitage vice president of preservation who helped craft the new exhibit.

“They put his image on everything from plates to pitchers to coins to you-

name-it.”

The wild scene at the White House reflected Jackson’s populist campaign for office in which he vowed to take back the government from Washington elites.

Jackson’s presidency saw the closure of the national bank and an unprecedented use of the veto that many members of Congress criticized as exceeding his authority.

His time in office was also known for the Petticoat Affair, a social catastrophe that began when members of his household and cabinet refused to socialize with the scandal-plagued wife of War Secretary John Eaton.

The situation escalated and led to the dissolution of nearly Jackson’s entire cabinet.

But Jackson, an outsider who grew up on

the frontier, would never have become president if not for the Battle of New Orleans, in which he won a brilliant victory against the British at the close of the War of 1812.

Jackson was honored with ceremonial swords, medallions and gold presentation boxes, some of which are on display at the exhibit that opens Thursday to coincide with the battle’s 200th anniversary.

The Hermitage has appointed some nationally prominent figures to its new board of directors, including “American Lion” author Jon Meacham. And the name of the board itself has changed from the quaint Ladies Hermitage Association to the solidsounding Andrew Jackson Foundation.

The association of la-

dies first took over the care and maintenance of The Hermitage more than 125 years ago, when Jackson’s grandson still lived there, and they have meticulously preserved original furnishings, wallpaper, clothing — even a carriage. But luring tourists into the suburbs to see the collection has been a challenge in recent years.

In the 1980s, The Hermitage was the third most visited presidential home behind Washington’s Mount Vernon and Jefferson’s Monticello, said Hermitage President and CEO Howard Kittell. But visitation has fallen from a high of about 330,000 to only about 185,000 this past fiscal year.

The new exhibit is an effort to “capitalize on what makes us distinct,” he said. “It was Jackson.”

Mountains remind of God’s power hills into a fair atmosphere to see the v a l l e y around Cherokee.

Lora Ann I don’t Huff go to the m o u n Back Porch tains to see the carnival attractions that abound – I go to see the hills and valleys, smell the air, and bask in God’s creation. I told my husband there surely must be mountains and evergreens in heaven because they are so beautiful – then I was reminded that heaven will surely be much more beautiful and amazing than any mountain or tree we’ve seen on this earth. …But according to the Book, God did choose mountains for special events. Moses spent time with God on Mount Sinai where he received the Ten Commandments, Jesus was on a mountainside when He gave His Sermon on the Mount, and He was on a mountaintop when He was transfigured, etc.

The Psalmist says in chapter 121: “I will lift up my eyes to the hills – where does my help come

January is not the best time to visit the Smoky Mountains – but my husband and I celebrated our 43rd anniversary the day after Christmas and he insisted we get away for a few days. His animals and farming rituals keep us from leaving just any time of the year so the cold winter months work better sometimes. We need to be home during foaling time in the spring and then one thing follows another on any farm in the summer and fall. …So we left home on New Year’s Day and got to see the mountains with their many bare trees and rain clouds – not so scenic – but we enjoyed the time, nevertheless.

The hemlock trees were as glistening green as ever and I could look at them all day long. If I lived in a grove of them, I would either be outside or standing at the window all the time to watch their branches sway in the mountain breeze.

The rain caught up with us for a while on Friday and the clouds hid the mountains – it was like they weren’t there. Then on Saturday we drove through the clouds at the top of the mountain, finally descending the

from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

(NIV) That in itself is enough to encourage me to look upward and enjoy the scenery. I know Who made them and He surely did it for a reason.

We enjoyed our little “getaway” and our good dose of sweet peace in the Tennessee hills. I will agree with the words of the song Vestal Goodman used to sing, “This old wilderness holds nothing and I’m not content to stay, for I’ve seen a land of riches, milk and honey every day. I’ll not let those might giants blind my eyes to Canaan’s land, for there’s a mountain to remind me that victory’s close at hand.

“Oh there’s something about a mountain that reaches for the sky - that speaks of things eternal, of a hope that never dies.

Like the blessed Rock of Ages, repose amid the din, I’ll just go up to the mountain and keep my trust in Him.” (Lora Ann Huff is a Wenasoga resident and special columnist for the Daily Corinthian. Her column appears Friday.

Take one day at a time Recently a friend of mine stood up at prayer meeting on a Wednesday night and sang the song, “One Day at a Time”. I have heard this song many times before but this night it really had a special meaning and everyone Gary in attenAndrews d a n c e could feel Devotionals the presence of the Lord as the lady sang.

Her sincerity and attention that she gave each word, each phrase, and each verse was so well voiced that most everyone in the audience had tears rolling down their cheeks.

She was overjoyed with the fact that 20 years had passed since her aneurism had burst in her head and she was alive today to tell how gracious and how good God is. She also told of His love and His power of healing.

So many of us in today’s society take for granted how good or guarded our health is. We hardly ever stop to thank God for what He has given us and how He had taken us

through so many trials and tribulations. Most of us get on our knees and beg Him to take care of us when nothing seems to be working and He is our last hope.

Why is it always this way? Most of us realize that we just didn’t evolve but was created through God’s loving care; however we will almost never talk with Him unless we are in dire straits. Most of us live in this hurry up world and never slow down enough to thank God for the day He has given us. Most of us never stop to thank Him for the food we have, the water, much less the beauty of His creation that is all around.

“One day at a time, Sweet Jesus,” a song written by Marijohn Wilkins and Kris Kristofferson, recorded by over 200 artists, tells us exactly who we are and what we should be doing. The chorus of this song says, “One day at a time sweet Jesus, that’s all I’m asking from you, just give me the strength to do every day what I have to do, yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine, Lord help me today, show me the way,

Suggested daily Bible readings: Sunday – Psalm 92:1-8; Monday – Isaiah 33:2; Tuesday – Ecclesiastes 9:3-4; Wednesday – Colossians 1:1-6; Thursday – 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12; Friday – Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Saturday – Ephesians 5:15-16. one day at a time.”

For over 20 years my friend has taken this song to heart and literally takes one day at a time. Until we all face the realization that tomorrow may never come we will never experience the full joy that today has in store for us.

Have you talked with God today?

Prayer: Father thank you for another day of life.

Thank you for the many blessings you have given me and I pray that you will guide me in all that I do. Amen.

Cuomo recalls father’s differences with Catholic church NEW YORK — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says his late father’s relationship with the Catholic church was “complicated.”

Former Gov. Mario Cuomo’s son spoke at his father’s funeral Tuesday at a Catholic church in Manhattan.

Mario Cuomo’s support for abortion rights was condemned in the 1980s by New York Cardinal John Joseph O’Connor, who considered excommunicating the governor.

At Tuesday’s funeral,

Andrew Cuomo recalled that his father “separated his personal views from his professional responsibilities” in a way that he believed was “consistent with laymen following Christ’s teachings.”

The Reverend Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, disagrees.

He says Mario Cuomo “added to the confusion that still persists today about the responsibilities of Catholics in public office.”

Pavone says officials should oppose abortion, not because of church teachings, but because it destroys innocent human life.

Religious leaders hold minimum wage vigil at NY Capitol ALBANY, N.Y. — Nuns, ministers and other religious leaders have held a prayer vigil at the New York state Capitol in support of a wage increase for tipped workers.

The group gathered Monday to call on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration to eliminate the so-called “tip wage” of about $5 an hour paid to servers, busboys and hotel housekeepers.

State law allows restaurants and hotels to pay less than the state’s $8.75 minimum wage, as long as tips make up the difference. A state panel

is studying whether to eliminate the tip wage and make all workers subject to the same minimum wage.

A decision by the state’s labor commissioner is due next month.

Clergy at Monday’s vigil say they also support raising the overall minimum wage.

GIVING: IS IT OVER?

“The giving is finally over!” someone exclaims this time of 2015. Perhaps this is a common feeling among those who give simply because they anticipate something better in return. Have you ever asked yourself: What should be the reason for my giving--any time of the year?

Certainly, we should work in order to provide for ourselves (II Thessalonians 3:10} and our families {I Timothy 5:8)--but the New Testament also says we should work so we “may have something to GIVE him who has need” (Ephesians 4:28). The world says, “Work, so you can HAVE more!” , while the Word says, “Work, so you can GIVE more!” Many people are surprised at how good they feel as they give. They experience the joy of giving without even understanding the principle--there is more potential joy in the very act of giving itself than there is in receiving (Acts 20:35).

God doesn’t give in anticipation of getting (though He certainly deserves our everything). He gives because He loves: “For God so loved the world that He gave...” (John 3:16). When we give because we love, we are being more like God in this regard. Because He loved us, Christ Jesus gave Himself a ransom for all (I Timothy 2:5-6). When we love as we should, we give the greatest gift we have-ourselves (Romans 12:1-2; II Corinthians 8:5}. No kind or amount of merchandise, regardless of how expensive it may be, can substitute for pure and unfeigned love.

Tenderness, kindness, affection, and understanding are gifts we all need and appreciate (I Corinthians 12:4-7; I Peter 3:1-7; Ephesians 5:25).

Some people, like myself, are just not very proficient in selecting tangible gifts as presents. However, who’s to say that a husband doesn’t love his wife merely because he unwittingly surprises her with a newly-modeled kitchen trash can, instead of flowers? The kinds of tangible gifts we receive are simply not an accurate indication of what others think of us. At least they better not be, considering my wife gave me a pair of dumbbells.
