Woman robbed at gunpoint at Wal-Mart BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Corinth police are investigating an armed robbery boldly committed in the busy Walmart parking lot Friday afternoon. It happened about 5:45 p.m. as a woman was finishing load-

ing purchases into her vehicle. “It kind of appeared like the guy had been casing the parking lot,” said Detective Heather Glass. The suspect, who took more than $100 from the woman, is described as a heavy-set white

male in his mid-30s to mid-40s with a scruffy beard. He wore a gray hoodie and drove a vehicle that a witness described as possibly a 2004 or 2005 Ford Explorer or Expedition. It didn’t have a tag and was described as “mossy oak” green in color.

The store’s video surveillance shows the suspect park on row nine about mid-way in the parking lot. “He left the car running and walked down the aisle toward the store and walked past the female that he eventually

robbed,” said Glass. “Then he came back and tapped her on the shoulder.” He asked for money, and the woman told him she didn’t have any. He then held a gun up to Please see ROBBERY | 2A

Locals comment on gun control County aims to BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

As he enters his final year of his final four-year term this week, President Barack Obama introduced his latest plan to strengthen the sale of firearms. The president hopes to help keep guns from people who shouldn’t have them.

At the center of the plan are new guidelines that seeks to clarify who is “in the business” of selling firearms and has to get a federal license. “I think there does need to be restrictions in place for those selling guns,” said Sammy Green, co-owner of Big Boys Pawn, Guns and Gold in

Corinth. “There are so many individuals out there who sell guns to known criminals, so I do think there should be something setup that forces a background check for any new gun owner.” Like all retail stores who sell

Program to aid Project Attention BY STEVE BEAVERS sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com

The Minority Volunteers Organization Inc. is stepping up for the child of Project Attention. “Steppin’ Up and Steppin’ Out for Our Children” is set for 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 16 at the Weaver Center. Proceeds earned from the event will ben-

efit the after school program at Project Attention. “We had a wonderful attendance last year,” said event committee member and Project Attention Director Shirley Rolland of the organization’s major fundraiser. Tickets are $75. Deadline to purchase tickets is Jan. 13. “We are shooting for at least

75 people,” said Rolland of the event held in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “This helps keep the doors open at Project Attention.” Project Attention is a partner agency of United Way. Currently, 64 children take part in the after school program. Please see PROJECT | 5A

For the next few years, county offices may be asked to tighten the belt until it hurts. As the county looks to get in a better financial position, new Chancery Clerk Greg Younger is formulating a letter that, with the board’s approval, will soon go to department heads. “We have been in a tight financial position for the past three fiscal years,” he said. “We have addressed it somewhat by borrowing money, but we have got to change that outlook, because you cannot continue to operate in the red and to borrow money.” The county has two notes after borrowing $675,000 a couple of years ago and $900,000 more recently. Departments will be encouraged to live within their budgets. “Also, I want them to know that just because they have $100,000 budgeted doesn’t mean that they have to spend that whole $100,000,” said Younger. “If you’ve got $10,000 left at the end of the year, then that’s being a good steward of the county’s money.” Deficits in solid waste collection, 911 and the correctional facility have been blamed for the budget situation. At the end of December, which completed the first

quarter of the fiscal year, the jail had a negative balance of $645,753.10. But the correctional facility’s negative balance doesn’t paint a true picture of its financial situation, according to the new sheriff, Ben Caldwell. “It’s really not a deficit other than on paper,” he said. Under the original agreement for the facility, Alcorn County is to pay $50,375 monthly for the housing of 65 prisoners at $25 per day. Those funds, along with other reimbursements paid to the correctional facility, go to the Bank of Clarksdale, where the bond for construction of the facility is held. The county then has to request the funds for housing its own prisoners be returned to itself. The county has made that payment only sporadically. “If it’s correct that the county hasn’t paid $1.8 million, we would have over a $1 million surplus,” said Caldwell, who took over management of the jail in November. “The appearance now is that the way the jail has been run is that we’re losing money, but we’re not.” The garbage and solid waste fund will lose money again this year. The county’s costs for the year are projected to total $660,000, while millage is projected to bring in Please see BUDGET | 5A

“It’s humbling to be back,” said Bain, from his hotel room overlooking the state capital. “I’m so thankful that the people of Alcorn County has put faith and trust in me again to represent them in Jackson. It means a great deal to me and my family to be back here. I truly do love doing this.” It was day three in the capital for Bain. After the swearing-in of leaders and the ceremonies surrounding the first year of a new term is over, Bain and his counterparts will hit the ground running. They will work on the state budget, be assigned to committees and discuss thousands of different issues currently plaguing the Magnolia State. “The budget will be heated as always,” said Bain, a Democrat. Legislators will do most of their work on a more than $6 billion budget during their final weeks of the current session, which will last through May. At the top of Bain’s agenda is transportation. “I hope we see some emphasis placed on our infrastructure,” he said. “It’s been more than 29 years since the state had any type of highway and bridge program, and I think it’s time to start addressing those.” In a report released in December, the Mississippi Economic Council said Mississippi needs to invest $375 million in highways and bridges, but the big question is how to find the money. The report suggests lawmakers consider higher fuel taxes, license plate fees, rental car taxes or general sales taxes. Bain said he will not support a tax increase unless it

is offset by decreasing taxes elsewhere. He says, however, there is a long list of Corinth and Alcorn County highways and roads which need state funding to repair. Bain focused heavily on education in his first term. The Alcorn School District is pushing local legislators to back a bill which would change the local school district’s superintendent from elected by the people to appointed by the school board. Bain says Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves will most likely push for a measure that would force all superintendents statewide to be appointed. Mississippi remains one of less than five states in the nation which still allow superintendents to be selected by an election. “I’m hearing that’s one thing they would really like to see happen,” said Bain. The Alcorn Central High School product also wants to create a bill which would address a current Mississippi High School Athletic Association rule which prevents a student who lives out of state to play sports for a Mississippi school. “I know of at least two students in Alcorn schools who aren’t allowed to play sports because they live in Tennessee,” added Bain. “There should really be options, here.” On the heels of Alcorn County’s recent misfortune with the Mississippi Department of Corrections, Bain said he and other lawmakers plan to find a way to help those counties where regional jails have been shu tdown by MDOC. “Similar counties around the state have experienced the same thing as Alcorn has with inmates being

pulled and regionals being closed — I think we will be looking at a way to help ‘bail out’ the counties to help cover the lost income,” Bain said. “I feel like all of us will get together to find a solution to the correctional issues.” For Bain, it’s also important to keep the same problems from happening to other counties in the future. “I’m not sure it can be done, but we are researching to see if we can create a law that would allow the state to have an official removed from office if something like this happens,” he said. Lawmakers will be assigned to standing committees in the next few weeks, and Bain has already made several special requests. Committees are a group of legislatures who will study and receive public comment when new bills are introduced to the House. The committee makes an initial determination if the proposal should go forward in the legislature. “I have requested to be on some of the same committees I was last term -education and energy,” he said. “I like to ask the tough questions, so hopefully they will want me back on.” Bain is also asking to be placed on the public health and corrections committee. “With everything going on in Alcorn County with corrections right now, I think it is important for us to have a voice,” he added. “I will also be able to hear the good and bad first hand so I can quickly communicate the information back to officials in Alcorn County.” (The Associated Press contributed to this story.)

guns and ammo, Green is a licensed dealer and must run background checks on prospective buyers, but as of now private sellers don’t. Obama is aiming to narrow that loophole so that more firearms sold at gun shows, flea markets, online or by individuals are subject to background checks. “I think any person who carries a gun, buys a gun or sells a gun needs a background check,” added Green. “There should probably be a limit setup for individual sellers just like car dealers — if a person sells or trades more than a certain number of vehicles per year, they must get a car dealer license. The same should be enforced for gun sales.” Millions of guns are sold annually in informal settings outside of gun shops, including many through private sales arranged online. But the Obama administration acknowledged it couldn’t quantify how many gun sales would be newly subjected to background checks, nor how many currently unregistered gun sellers would have to. The new plan has been meet with criticism from gun rights groups and lawmakers. The National Rifle Association, the largest gun group in the country, said it was “ripe for abuse,” although the group didn’t specify what steps, if any, it will take to oppose or try to block it. In Mississippi, Obama’s gun-control push is getting little traction. “Like many Mississippians, I am concerned with President Obama’s proposed executive action restrict-

ing gun owner rights,” said Gov. Phil Bryant. “As governor, I will continue to strongly defend and protect their right to keep and bear arms.” Mississippi Republicans in Congress also objected to the president’s unilateral move. U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker said, “No president of the United States has the power to infringe on the rights granted by the Second Amendment. Congress and the courts should promptly step in to reverse this executive overreach.” Although Obama is trying to act alone, some say he can’t. The White House says Obama is acting fully within his legal authority, by clarifying existing laws that Congress has already passed. It’s an argument Obama has used before when opposition in Congress has led him to take sweeping executive action on immigration, climate change and other issues. Still, Obama readily concedes the executive steps will be challenged in court. One likely option for opponents is to challenge Obama’s authority to define what it means to be “engaged in the business” of selling guns, since that definition isn’t laid out in the law. Also part of Obama’s new plan includes the hiring of more than 200 new FBI staff members to help process the background checks. He also wants federal agencies to research smart gun technology to reduce accidental shootings and Congress to spend $500 million for mental health care.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Jan. 10, the 10th day of 2016. There are 356 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History: On Jan. 10, 1946, the first General Assembly of the United Nations convened in London. The first manmade contact with the moon was made as radar signals transmitted by the U.S. Army Signal Corps were bounced off the lunar surface.

On this date: In 1776, Thomas Paine anonymously published his influential pamphlet, “Common Sense,” which argued for American independence from British rule. In 1861, Florida became the third state to secede from the Union. 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 1916, men loyal to Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa stopped a train at Santa Ysabel and shot a group of U.S. mining employees execution-style (the reported number of dead varies from 16 to 18). In 1920, the League of Nations was established as the Treaty of Versailles went into effect. In 1957, Harold Macmillan became prime minister of Britain, following the resignation of Anthony Eden. In 1967, Massachusetts Republican Edward W. Brooke, the first black elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote, took his seat. 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). Ten years ago: Iran resumed nuclear research two years after halting the work to avoid possible U.N. economic sanctions. Five years ago: A judge in Austin, Texas, ordered former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to serve three years in prison for his money laundering conviction. (DeLay’s conviction was ultimately overturned.) One year ago: Hundreds of thousands of people marched in French cities from Toulouse in the south to Rennes in the west to honor the victims of recent terror attacks.

Across the Region Tishomingo officials make appointments IUKA — The first meeting of 2016 for the Tishomingo County Board of Supervisors took place earlier this week. The board elected Fifth District Supervisor Greg Collier as president of the board. First District Supervisors Brandon Grissom will serve as vice-president. The board voted to keep Cook Coggin of Tupelo as Tishomingo County’s provider of all state-aid road work. Phillip Whitehead was chosen as board attorney, while Lynn West was reappointed as purchasing clerk. Chancery Clerk Peyton Cummings was appointed as County Inventory Clerk. The board also appointed Third District Supervisor Michael Busby to represent the county on the Northeast Mississippi Planning and Development District board. Fourth District Supervisor Jeff Holt was appointed to the TAP Alliance and the Northeast Mississippi Community Service Board to represent Tishomingo County.

WBIP radio station adds FM broadcast BOONEVILLE — Plans are for Booneville radio station WBIP to once again be an FM station. Since WBIP has received approval for the FM signal, the addition of the FM station could occur by mid-January, said Bro. Larry Hill, one of the station owners and WBIP general manager. WBIP will be FM 105.7 and will continue to have its AM station at 1400. As required by the FCC, the FM format will be the same as the present AM format — classic country during the week and on weekends classic and country gospel. Hill is back on Saturday mornings from 9-12 doing the popular program he’s done for almost 40 years. He is a former pastor of First United Pentecostal Church in Booneville. He has served as pastor at First United Pentecostal in Tupelo some 20 years since leaving the City of Hospitality. At one point owners of the station, Hill, who now resides in Fulton, Larry Melton, Kevin Furr and Jerry Thornton, all of Camden, Tenn., contemplated closing the station but felt it was important to the community to have a radio station. “WBIP has been here since 1950. We wanted to continue serving Booneville, Prentiss County and Baldwyn,” Hill said.

Stop the Harassment & Keep your Property

New equipment has been added along with upgrading sound, working on the tower and remodeling the building at 1100 South Second Street in Booneville. As an added dimension WBIP is also worldwide on the Web with its signal wbipam.com allowing listeners to pick it up on smart phones. The FM addition is exciting for local residents, Hill said. “They’ve asked us over and over about FM. We were told there were no more signals but we kept working at it.”

Tennessee chooses state representative SOMERVILLE, Tenn. — A former agricultural extension agent has been chosen by the Fayette County Board of Commissioners to replace former Tennessee Rep. Leigh Wilburn in the state’s House of Representatives. The vote was made Thursday during their regular county commission meeting. Jamison “Jamie” Jenkins was selected by the Fayette County Commissioners over Somerville attorney Hal Rounds to complete Wilburn’s term in office. Jenkins defeated Rounds by a 12-5 vote. Jenkins will begin serving with the 2016 legislators in the upcoming session. He will serve this year until a new representative is elected in November. House District 94 consists of all of Fayette and McNairy counties and a small portion of Hardeman County mainly south of Tenn. Hwy. 57 above the Mississippi. The position open when Wilburn resigned as a state representative in December, just over halfway through her two-year term in office. The newly selected Representative Jenkins was formerly the chairman of the Fayette County Republican Party and the former administrator of elections in Fayette County. He is retired from his career as the University of Tennessee’s agricultural extension agent in Fayette County. Jenkins was chosen by the Fayette County Commissioners because the county has the highest population inside the district.

Homeowners urged to prep for disasters SELMER, Tenn. — Homeowners should always be prepared in case of emergency such as a fire, flood or storm. The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance’s (TDCI) encourages Tennesseans to take time during the new year to start or update their inventory of belongings to be prepared all

year long. “Post-holidays is a good time to update insurance records,” TDCI Assistant Commissioner for Insurance Michael Humphreys said. “Big purchases or gifts that may have occurred during the holiday season should be added to your inventory list. Whether it is electronics, furnishings, collectibles, jewelry or clothing, you should document what you own and how much it’s worth.” Homeowners should always keep pictures and/or receipts for all contents on their property. Update the inventory at least once a year and store it in a safe place outside the home such as a safe deposit box. Digital tools such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) MyHome Scr.APP.book lets you quickly capture images and descriptions of your belongings to help determine how much insurance you need and for filing a claim. The app makes it easier for consumers to document their valuables, update their inventories and store the information for easy access. For those without a smart phone, the NAIC offers a downloadable home inventory checklist and tips for effectively cataloguing your possessions. Both are available at http://home.insureuonline.org.

Firefighters help out another department TIPPAH COUNTY — Buildings can be replaced and communities can regroup, but for Three Forks Fire Chief Joey Jackson, simple things such as talking to others means the world. According to WTVA, Northeast Lamar County Fire Department made the nearly five hour journey last week to the Three Forks community in Tippah County to deliver equipment to the once standing fire department, now it’s just an empty slab of concrete. This is the result of the December tornado that ripped through the community ultimately killing several people across the Southeast. The donations included generators, fans and hand tools. The reason for the donation is simple according to Northeast Lamar Fire Chief Kyle Hill. “Inherently in the fire emergency service you take care of the neighbor. That’s what you’re there for. It’s in your blood, and you’re going to take care of your neighbors, but when you’re hit like Three Forks Fire Department was hit, you’ve got to have somebody take

Grant gets police department AEDs SAVANNAH, Tenn. — First responders say the first three minutes a person goes into cardiac arrest are the most critical. With calls coming in constantly through Hardin County dispatch, it’s not always a medical responder who can arrive to the scene first. “While we have an outstanding ambulance service here, they’re busy,” Savannah Police Chief Gary Will Jr. told WBBJ. “They run to calls all the time, and there are times when they cannot get there for five or 10 minutes.” With the help of a grant, the police department now has six AEDs (automated external defibrillators), enough for each officer on patrol. The Savannah Fire Department received two units, and the Hardin County Fire Department received three. Over the past year, the Savannah Police Department has been working to get these AED machines into their patrol cars because every minute counts. “Ten minutes is too long,” Chief Will said. “We’ve had cases where our officers have done CPR on people and wished we had an AED handy. By the time the ambulance was able to get there, unfortunately we could not save them.” The county says the long-term goal is for each of the patrol cars and fire engines to have these devices. “The sooner you can get to a victim, the higher chance of surviving it. For every minute it takes, you lose 10 percent chance of surviving,” Will said.

Plant physiologist keeps project going OXFORD — When senior research scientist Suman Chandra first came to the University of Mississippi’s National Center for Natural Products Research in 2001, he had no idea that he would be involved in one of the most pivotal programs in the School of Pharmacy’s history. Chandra, who has extensive training in medicinal plant physiology and biotechnology, carries

out a variety of research activities dealing with cannabis as part of the Marijuana Project. Funded by a competitive contract through the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the project is led by Mahmoud ElSohly, research professor in the Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and professor of pharmaceutics. As part of the project, the NCNPR supplies high-quality marijuana and its constituents to the NIDA Drug Supply Program. The drug supply program then provides the marijuana to licensed researchers across the country. “I’m very proud to work for the Marijuana Project,” Chandra said. “It is very well-known across the country, and I’m honored to work for Dr. ElSohly.” A few of Chandra’s duties are indoor and outdoor cultivation of Cannabis sativa that includes growing, harvesting and processing cannabis biomass under Good Agricultural Practices and Good Manufacturing Practices compliance, as well as maintaining production records, supervising and training personnel, and supervising overall field activities. Growing the standardized cannabis for NIDA is a lengthy process, Chandra said. “The first step in the process is to do a genetic screening to find out if the plant is male or female, if grown from seeds,” he said. “Cannabis produces a unique class of terpenophenolic compounds called cannabinoids, and females have higher cannabinoids as compared to the male plants. The second step is to keep only female plants and look for the elite clones based on their chemical profile for further propagation.”

Man gets DUI after driving car into river COLUMBUS – A Georgia man faces DUI charges after he drove his Jeep into the river in Columbus, according to WTVA. Interim Police Chief Fred Shelton says Michael Gregory Calaway, 52, was arrested Wednesday night. Calaway apparently was attempting to turn around at the arena on Wilkins-Wise Road when he backed his vehicle into the river. A tow truck operator called to pull the vehicle out notified police the Jeep was submerged. Police charged Calaway with DUI - second offense and driving with a suspended license. His license was under suspension from a previous DUI.

Animal shelter needs our help The Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter needs our help. We are asking the community to respond. For those of you who have plenty of pets and do not need to adopt a new friend from the local shelter, there is still a way you can help. The shelter is bursting at the seams with man’s best friend -- and they are hungry. Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner recently told the Daily Corinthian the facility is searching for homes for more than 175 dogs now being housed at the shelter. Although adoptions to good homes are always needed, Doehner and all of our volunteer friends at the shelter are asking for donations of dog food. “With so many dogs in our kennels, it really takes a lot of food to care for them,” said the volunteer director recently. “For anyone wishing to help, we are desperately low on dog food.” With manufacturers being closed or on limited production around the holidays, the shelter hasn’t seen as many large donations as normal. Dog food is at the top of the wish list for the shelter, but there are other needs. Other needed items include newspapers, puppy food, cat food, kitten food, treats, cat and dog toys, old towels and washcloths, old bedsheets, old blankets, dog houses, pet beds, Dawn dish washing liquid (blue), bleach, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, heavy duty tarps, cotton balls, cat litter, litter boxes, litter scoops, collars, pet shampoo, crates and carriers, hand sanitizer, garbage bags, mops, brooms, sponges, food bowls, rubber and latex gloves and spray bottles. Cash donations are also welcome and the 2016 Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter pet calendars are still available for a $15 donation to the shelter. The calendar features more than 30 photos of local dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and a couple of Bearded Dragons submitted by pet owners from across the Crossroads area. Please help out the shelter. It is located at 3825 Proper Street in the Corinth city limits near where the street turns into Farmington Road in the Farmington city limits.

Daily Corinthian (A no-kill, nonprofit organization, the local shelter is on a mission to save the abused, neglected, abandoned and injured animals of Corinth and Alcorn County.

Stokes, law enforcement have long history The recent dustup between bombastic Jackson City Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes and the state’s law enforcement community has dominated both the news and social media in the state in the early days of 2016, but the truth is that this is simply the latest act in a tired old show. Stokes has been insulting and antagonizing Mississippi’s law enforcement community for many long years. This latest outrage – in which Stokes’ suggested that residents of his ward should throw rocks, bricks and bottles to show police from other jurisdictions how they feel about police pursuits from surrounding communities – isn’t any worse than prior Stokes’ race-baiting escapades stretching back to the 1990s. Who could forget the time in 2005 when Stokes invited Imari Obadele, the former Republic of New Africa president, to Jackson’s City Hall as a Black History Month speaker? Obadele – born Richard Henry in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1930 – was president of what he called the Republic of New Afrika, a country that existed only in Obadele’s imagination. He proposed that the RNA be formed by removing

the southern states of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Sid Salter C a r o l i n a from the Columnist union and turning them over to African Americans. Likewise, Obadele was advocated of black separatism and reparations for blacks. The RNA eventually engaged in gun battles with law enforcement in both Detroit in 1969 and in Jackson in 1971. In both those incidents, a police officer was killed. In Jackson, the slain police officer was Jackson Police Lt. William Louis Skinner. Lt. Skinner was shot through his car window and police helmet on Aug. 18, 1971, when police and FBI raided the RNA’s headquarters at a house on Lewis Street in Jackson. Obadele was indicted for the murder, but evidence surfaced later that showed he wasn’t in the house at the time Skinner was shot. Obadele later served more than five years in prison for conspiracy to assault a federal agent, assault and firearms possession. Skinner’s son, Bill, was

later elected as a Hinds County judge. In 2005, Bill Skinner told the media that his father was murdered and Obadele was responsible. “This man is a terrorist,” Bill Skinner said. “He ran a terrorist organization and there is no difference between him and Osama bin Laden.” Obadele died at the age of 79 in 2010 in Atlanta. But the invitation to bring Obadele – someone reviled for good or ill by the law enforcement community in Mississippi as a cop killer – back to Jackson was classic Kenny Stokes. While the move brought outrage and denouncements from law enforcement officers, it certainly didn’t hurt Stokes at the ballot box. His constituents, at least the vast majority of them, heartily approved. Stokes saw him numbers soar at the polls. The notion that an elected official would encourage citizens to throw debris at law enforcement officers is numbingly irresponsible, but it’s par for the course in the Kenny Stokes road show. About 20 years ago, I wrote this after one of Stokes’ political stunts and it’s as true today as it was back then: “Chambers of

commerce and other economic development entities in towns like Clinton, Madison, Brandon, Crystal Springs, Hazlehurst, Pelahatchie, Morton, Forest, Carthage, Vicksburg and Yazoo City really ought to put Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes on the payroll. “I mean, never has one guy done so much to help so many in terms of advocating policies that will surely and consistently erode the City of Jackson’s tax base and send both businesses and residents scurrying for the suburbs of Jackson and other bedroom communities in a reasonable commuting distance.” Stokes isn’t worth the ink expended in printing this story. But the City of Jackson is important. What’s truly sad is that Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber and others on the Jackson City Council who are struggling honorably and sincerely with very real problems in our state’s capital city have to deal with the consequences of the false image of Jackson that Stokes has spent two decades building.

Letter to the editor

Resident proud of who helped To the editor: I want to take this time to tell the communities in the Crossroads area how proud I am for all the good things they have done to help the storm victims. The night the tornadoes came, people got gas, chainsaws, tractors and any other equipment they could to help clear roads. They went through water, trees and mud to get to people’s homes to help. For all the men and women who have stood by each day, cooking to make sure no one went hungry, for all the sacrifices each one has made – I pray God’s blessings for you and your families. Margaret Cooper CR 218, Walnut

Prayer for today God of justice, may I pause to remember that while I may do a mean act and keep it hidden from others, I cannot keep it hidden from myself, nor from thee. Help me to have a nobler sense of the quality of life, and less anxiety for the quantity, that I may avoid harshness and selfishness, and be given to tenderness and justice. Amen.

A verse to share “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” — Isaiah 43:19

Will Middle East allies drag us into war? The New Year’s execution by Saudi Arabia of the Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr was a deliberate provocation. Its first purpose: Signal the new ruthlessness and resolve of the Saudi monarchy where the power behind the throne is the octogenarian King Salman’s son, the 30-year-old Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman. Second, crystallize, widen and deepen a national-religious divide between Sunni and Shiite, Arab and Persian, Riyadh and Tehran. Third, rupture the rapprochement between Iran and the United States and abort the Iranian nuclear deal. The provocation succeeded in its near-term goal. An Iranian mob gutted and burned the Saudi embassy, causing diplomats to flee, and Riyadh to sever diplomatic ties. From Baghdad to Bahrain, Shiites protested the execution of a cleric who, while a severe critic of Saudi despotism and a champion of Shiite rights, was not convicted of inciting revolution or terror. In America, the reaction has been divided. The Wall Street Journal rushed, sword in hand, to the side of the Saudi royals: “The U.S. should make clear to Iran and Russia that it will defend the Kingdom from Iranian attempts to

destabilize or invade.” T h e Washington Post was disgusted. In an editoPat rial, it called Buchanan the execution risky, Columnist ruthless and unjustified. Yet there is a lesson here. Like every regime in the Middle East, the Saudis look out for their own national interests first. And their goals here are to first force us to choose between them and Iran, and then to conscript U.S. power on their side in the coming wars of the Middle East. Thus the Saudis went AWOL from the battle against ISIS and al-Qaida in Iraq and Syria. Yet they persuaded us to help them crush the Houthi rebels in Yemen, though the Houthis never attacked us and would have exterminated al-Qaida. Now that a Saudi coalition has driven the Houthis back toward their northern basecamp, ISIS and al-Qaida have moved into some of the vacated terrain. What kind of victory is that – for us? In the economic realm, also, the Saudis are doing us no favors. While Riyadh is keeping up oil production and steadily bringing down the world price on which Irani-

an and Russian prosperity hangs, the Saudis are also crippling the U.S. fracking industry they fear. The Turks, too, look out for number one. The Turkish shoot-down of that Russian fighter-bomber, which may have intruded into its airspace for 17 seconds, was both a case in point and a dangerous and provocative act. Had Vladimir Putin chosen to respond militarily against Turkey, a NATO ally, his justified retaliation could have produced demands from Ankara for the United States to come to its defense against Russia. A military clash with our former Cold War adversary, which half a dozen U.S. presidents skillfully avoided, might well have been at hand. These incidents raise some long-dormant but overdue questions. What exactly is our vital interest in a permanent military alliance that obligates us to go to war on behalf of an autocratic ally as erratic and rash as Turkey’s Tayyip Recep Erdogan? Do U.S.-Turkish interests really coincide today? While Turkey’s halfmillion-man army could easily seal the Syrian border and keep ISIS fighters from entering or leaving, it has failed to do so. Instead, Turkey is using its army to crush the Kurdish PKK and

threaten the Syrian Kurds who are helping us battle ISIS. In Syria’s civil war it is Russia and Iran and even Hezbollah that seem to be more allies of the moment than the Turks, Saudis or Gulf Arabs. “We have no permanent allies ... no permanent enemies ... only permanent interests” is a loose translation of the dictum of the 19th century British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston. Turkey’s shoot-down of a Russian jet and the Saudi execution of a revered Shiite cleric, who threatened no one in prison, should cause the United States to undertake a cost-benefit analysis of the alliances and war guarantees we have outstanding, many of them dating back half a century. Do all, do any, still serve U.S. vital national interests? In cases where we share a common enemy, we should follow the wise counsel of the Founding Fathers and entrust our security, if need be, to “temporary,” but not “permanent” or “entangling alliances.” This hubristic Saudi blunder should be a wake-up call for us all.

$530,000. The current budget bumped the tax levy for garbage and solid waste up by 2 mills to the maximum 6 mills allowed by law. â€œWe canâ€™t keep being short, so at some point in the future weâ€™re going to have to come up with some alternative,â€? said Younger. At the end of the first quarter,

the garbage fund had a negative balance of $1,003,573.18. The move to private collection is also part of the countyâ€™s effort to chip away at the deficit. Through the first quarter, 911 has a negative balance of $629,565.80. Based on the first quarter financials, it could run $100,000 over budget for the year. Declining fee revenues are an ongoing problem for the 911

budget. The new county budget added 1 mill to tackle the shortfall and an additional 0.28 mill for 911 operations. Despite the challenges ahead, Younger is optimistic for the county. â€œWe are going to get it under control â€” I have faith in that,â€? he said. Budget figures were provided by the office of the Board of Supervisors.

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS

Jon Smith

Associated Press

Jon Allen Smith, 67, died Friday, Jan. 8, 2016, at his home. Visitation is set for 1 until 3 p.m. today at Memorial Funeral Home. No funeral service is scheduled. Born in Corinth on July 8, 1948, he was a 1966 graduate of Corinth High School and a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church. He retired from quality control for Langley Wire Cloth in Adamsville, Tenn. He was an avid Ole Miss fan who enjoyed football and playing guitar. He is preceded in death by his father, Raymond Smith, and his grandmother, Mary Lou Smith. Survivors are his wife of 44 years, Linda Smith of Corinth; his mother, Ina Mae Smith of Corinth; his children, Michael Smith, Scotty Smith and Stephanie Smith of Corinth; a grandson, Conner Smith of Corinth; and a host of other family and friends. Memorial contributions may be made to Covenant Presbyterian Church, c/o Kathleen Hall, 513 Dean St., Corinth, MS 38834. Online guestbook: memorialcorinth.com

JACKSON — All four of Mississippi’s U.S. House members will face at least one challenger this year, although none attracted an opponent who’s expected to bring a large campaign fund or widespread name recognition. Friday was candidates’ filing deadline, and party primaries are March 8. The general election is Nov. 8. Rep. Trent Kelly of the northern 1st District and Rep. Gregg Harper of the central 3rd District have one opponent each in the Republican primary. One Democrat is running in the 1st District and two in the 3rd. The other two House members — Democrat Bennie Thompson in the

Delta’s 2nd District and Republican Steven Palazzo in the southern 4th District — are unopposed in the primaries. But each faces a general election challenger. Mississippi does not have a U.S. Senate race this year. ■ Kelly, of Tupelo, won the 1st District seat in a 2015 special election after the death of Rep. Alan Nunnelee. Kelly is challenged in this year’s Republican primary by Paul Clever of Olive Branch. The Democrat running is Jacob Aaron Owens of Booneville. ■ Thompson, of Bolton, won the 2nd District seat in a 1993 special election, and he is the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee. His Republican challenger, John Bouie II of Gulfport,

lives outside the district. Although living outside the district is allowed in U.S. House races, it’s generally a liability for candidates. ■ Harper, of Pearl, won the 3rd District seat in 2008. He is opposed in the Republican primary by Jim Giles of Pearl, who said in a news release Monday that he will work to stop the “Muslimification of our United States.” In his own news release Friday, Harper said he has been endorsed by Republican Gov. Phil Bryant. Democrats running in the 3rd are Dennis Quinn of Magnolia and Nathan Stewart of Brandon. ■ Palazzo, of Biloxi, won the 4th District seat in 2010. The Democrat challenging him this year is Mark Dey Gladney of Gulfport.

Tunica casino union vote delayed

Gladys Ragan

WALNUT — Funeral services for Gladys McClintock Ragan, 92, are set for 2 p.m. today at Oak Grove Independent Methodist Church near Pocahontas, Tenn. Visitation is at the church from 12 noon until the service. Mrs. Ragan died Thursday, Jan. 7, 2016, at her home. She was a longtime Walnut resident and homemaker who was retired from McGregor Manufacturing in Walnut. She was a member of Oak Grove Independent Methodist Church. Survivors include her children, Bobbye McMillin (J.W.), Diane Flake (Jimmy) and Randy Ragan (Hazel), all of Walnut, and Lisa Foster (James) of Middleton, Tenn.; eight grandchildren, 13 greatgrandchildren and 13 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a son, Joel Ragan; two sisters, Lois Townsend and Annie McClintock; and brothers, Frank and Billy McClintock. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105. Ripley Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

JACKSON — A vote on unionization by dealers at the MGM Gold Strike Casino in Tunica County has been put off amid charges that MGM Resorts International broke federal law while campaigning against union representation. About 300 workers had been scheduled to vote Saturday on whether the United Auto Workers would represent them. The Gold Strike has about 1,300 employees, according to filings with the Mississippi Gaming Commission. It has the largest number of hotel rooms and slot machines among the eight Tunica County casinos. The UAW filed unfair labor practice charges Thursday with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that casino managers illegally: ■ Used employee tip money to con-

duct anti-union meetings. ■ Told employees their pay would be cut if they voted for union representation. ■ Interrogated employees as to how they would vote. ■ Told employees ballots would require employee ID numbers and thus wouldn’t be secret. “The Gold Strike casino is using heavy-handed tactics in violation of federal law,” UAW regional director Ray Curry said in a statement. “We’re asking the National Labor Relations Board to investigate, and we’re calling on MGM to respect its employees’ rights the same way its casinos do in other markets around the country.” MGM, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, denies wrongdoing. Officials with the labor board didn’t respond to requests for comment Friday.

In final State of Union, Obama aims to define presidency BY JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Out of time to push a new legislative agenda, President Barack Obama will look past Congress and to the American people in his final State of the Union address, aiming to define his presidency and his legacy before others can do it for him. Unlike the six such speeches he’s given before, Obama plans to skip the traditional list of grand proposals, new policies and presidential appeals for new laws in favor of a bird’s eye view of what he has accomplished since 2009 and what’s left undone in his final year in office. Aides said the president on Tuesday night will give his assessment of what the country looks like in 2016 and the direction he hopes it will take in the future. To the extent he can, Obama will also try to give a burst of energy to initiatives he is hoping to push past beyond the life of his administration. At a marathon meeting with

top advisers last week to ready his executive actions on gun control, Obama issued two directives, aides in the meeting said. The first: “Everything this year should be infused with a sense of possibility.” The second: “Don’t take the foot off the gas pedal.” Despite his inevitable slide into lame-duck status and the partisan politics of the election year, Obama is emboldened by recent successes that formed one of the most productive stretches in his presidency. Over the past year, Obama has reached a nuclear deal with Iran, relaunched diplomatic relations with Cuba, secured a global climate pact and an Asia-Pacific trade deal, and negotiated a budget deal with the Republican-led Congress. Unemployment fell to an impressive 5 percent and renewed confidence in the economy led the Federal Reserve to finally start raising interest rates. Obama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, said Obama

planned in his speech to cite those achievements to argue that “we’ve brought America back.” This year, to keep the momentum going, Obama must contend with a presidential campaign that’s already reverberating loudly and will only get louder. The White House scheduled this year’s speech earlier than usual, in part to ensure Obama had room to run before voting starts with the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1. To the dismay of some in his party, Obama doesn’t plan to use the address as an opening argument for Democratic candidates in the November election. White House officials pointed to his speech at the Democratic National Convention in July and his first rally for the Democratic nominee as his opportunities to frame the campaign. Still, anything Obama says or does in an election year will be heavily politicized. Republican candidates have already seized on Obama’s unilateral moves to tighten gun policies, a topic for

Tuesday’s speech, as the latest example of why voters cannot trust Democrats. “The president hasn’t had a problem getting attention for what he’s proposed as important issues we should be focused on,” said Jen Psaki, the White House communications director. She said those issues often have spilled over into the campaign. “Because of his decision to be bold, we fully anticipate that will continue.” Obama’s best prospects for achievements this year are on the few issues where he and Congress at least partially agree. Central to his speech will be a renewed call for a criminal justice overhaul and for approval of his Asia-Pacific trade agreement, which many Republicans support. He will face a less receptive crowd on foreign policy and homeland security. Republicans and even many Democrats have deemed his strategy for fighting the Islamic State group halfbaked and feckless.

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The U.S. refugee program came under fresh criticism Friday after federal authorities revealed that two Iraqi-born men arrested on terrorism-related charges had come to America as refugees. While there was no evidence the men intended or planned attacks in the United States, Republican lawmakers already concerned about the federal government’s ability to properly vet Syrian refugees said the cases highlight weaknesses in the

PHILADELPHIA — A man who investigators say claimed he shot and wounded a Philadelphia police officer in the name of Islam was charged Saturday with attempted murder. Edward Archer also was charged with aggravated assault, assault of a law enforcement officer and several firearms crimes. He is held without bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 25. The Defender Association of Philadelphia, listed in court documents as representing him, couldn’t be reached Saturday for comment. Authorities say Archer, 30, of Yeadon, fired at least 13 shots toward the officer as he patrolled his usual west Philadelphia beat shortly before midnight Thursday. They say Archer fired repeatedly as he raced toward the officer’s car, then reached into the driver’s side, still firing, hitting the officer three times. Officer Jesse Hartnett, although seriously wounded, was able to get out of his car, chase the man and return fire, wounding him in the buttocks, police said. Other officers chased Archer and apprehended him about a block away. Investigators said Archer told them he was “following Allah” and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, and he believed the police department defends laws that are contrary to Islam. Investigators believe Archer traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and to Egypt in 2012.

Refugee program decried after Iraqis’ arrests program that put Americans’ safety at risk. “How many ticking time bombs are we going to bring in in this refugee program without a proper vetting system in place?” Rep. Michael McCaul, RTexas and chairman of House Homeland Security Committee, said at a news conference. He and other GOP lawmakers urged the Senate to pass legislation to block refugees from Iraq and Syria until screening is improved. The House passed a bill in November. The uproar comes after

weeks of fervent debate in Washington and on the presidential campaign trail about tighter security screens in the wake of attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. Immigrant advocates said they have full confidence in the vetting process and that tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees have been successfully resettled under the program. On Thursday, federal authorities in California accused 23-year-old Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab of Sacramento of traveling to Syria to fight and lying to U.S. officials about it. Al-Jayab had come to the United States as a refugee in October 2012, and discussed on social media how he

In Texas, 24-year-old Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan of Houston was indicted on charges that he tried to provide material support to the extremists. Both suspects are Palestinians born in Iraq, authorities said. The U.S. annually accepts 70,000 refugees from around the world, including people fleeing violence, religious persecution and war, and has announced plans to increase the number to 85,000 this year. Since the 2001 terrorist attacks, about 785,000 refugees have arrived in the country, and fewer than 20 have been arrested or removed over terrorism-related concerns, according to the State Department. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday the screening of refugees is rigorous and thorough. He repeated the administration’s opposition to proposals that would impose a religious test or bar individuals from the U.S. based on their ethnicity.

Judge: Hernandez tipster not credible FALL RIVER — An anonymous tipster who exchanged letters with former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez before his murder trial isn’t credible. That’s according to a Fall River Superior Court judge who on Friday denied Hernandez’s lawyers’ motion to further examine the tipster’s claims. Hernandez was convicted of the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd. He’s awaiting trial on separate murder charges in Boston. Hernandez’s lawyer said in court documents the tipster said a juror was involved in a discussion about the Boston killings. The judge’s decision said the tipster testified in October that the juror hadn’t participated in the discussion at a 2014 party. Hernandez was awaiting trial when a fellow inmate, the tipster’s father, encouraged Hernandez to exchange letters with his daughter.

Joplin population, business recovers JOPLIN, Mo. — After the devastating EF-5 tornado swept through Joplin in 2011, some thought the southwest Missouri town would never regain its footing. Less than five years later, Joplin has not only gained back the population that was lost in and after the May, 22, 2011, twister, but also has reached its highest total ever. Major new employers have arrived, most of the damaged businesses have rebuilt and 250 new ones have opened since the tornado. Mayor Mike Seibert says the success is due to the community’s commitment to immediately rebound from the tornado, which killed 161 people, injured hundreds and damaged or destroyed about 8,000 homes and businesses.

Officer responding to large fight shot NEW YORK — Authorities say a New York City police officer has been shot after exchanging gunfire with a suspect involved in a large fight. New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton said 25-year-old Officer Sherrod Stuart was shot in the ankle early Saturday morning, the day of his fourth anniversary with the department. Bratton said officers were responding to a fight following a large party in the Bronx around 2 a.m. Five people have been hospitalized with stab wounds. The shooting comes a day after a Philadelphia police officer was ambushed by a suspect and shot three times. Bratton said a 19-year-old with a criminal history is in custody. He had been released following fare beating charges three hours prior to the shooting.

54 BB gun attacks hit Yuma in month YUMA, Ariz. — The Yuma Police Department reports there have been 54 attacks on property with a BB gun in the city over a little more than a month. The department says in a statement Friday that the attacks, which have taken place from

Dec. 5 to Jan. 6, have damaged the windows of vehicles, homes and businesses. The parts of the city that have been the hardest hit are near three high schools: Yuma, Cibola and Kofa. The shootings have caused about $24,240.00 in damages, police say. The department says that surveillance cameras have shown a white older-model four-door sedan with multiple subjects in the area at the time of the attacks.

Private facility will care for ex-athlete LOS ANGELES — Former NBA star Lamar Odom has been transferred from a Los Angeles hospital to a private facility. But there’s no word on his condition, three months after he was found unconscious and in critical condition at a Nevada brothel. Family spokeswoman Alvina Alston says Friday that Odom was released from the hospital earlier in the week. Alston says Odom’s family is proud of what’s termed his “miraculous and continued improvement” but isn’t providing details of his condition. Odom was found at the Love Ranch brothel in Crystal, Nevada, in October. Investigators believe he overdosed on cocaine and other drugs during a three-day stay. When Odom was transferred from Las Vegas to Los Angeles in October, the family said he was undergoing therapy, was more responsive and had increased use of speech.

Deli’s Trump themed sandwich didn’t sell BURLINGTON, Vt. — Workers at a Vermont deli near where Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared say they didn’t sell any of the bologna sandwich specials named for him. The sandwich was on sale for $20.16 at the Kountry Kart Deli, next door to the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts. Trump appeared there Thursday. The Trump sandwich is bologna on white bread with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, deli mustard and bacon slices, abbreviated B.S. There also were deli counter tip jars with the faces of Trump and Burlington’s own U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate. Kountry Kart owner Mike Williams tells Boston.com the Trump jar received $6.70 by the end of Thursday while the Sanders jar had $120.

Juvenile rape case records released SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. — Juvenile court records detailing rape allegations in a case involving high school basketball players have been released in east Tennessee. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the documents say a 17-year-old used a pool cue on the freshman teammate while two 16-year-old players pinned him on a bed. The records confirm that the freshman suffered injuries that required surgery and hospitalization for several days. Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Rick Smith announced

Wednesday that the Ooltewah High School season was called off. The three are charged with aggravated rape Dec. 22 at a Gatlinburg cabin.

Republican hoping for Clinton charges WASHINGTON — A Republican member of the House Benghazi committee says he is “hopeful” the Justice Department will bring charges against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for having classified information on her private email server. Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas said there is increasing evidence that “an enormous amount of information” on Clinton’s private server is classified. “It was classified when it was on her server, and it was classified when it was sent,” Pompeo told conservative radio host Lars Larson on Thursday. Pompeo said he is “anxious” for the Justice Department and FBI to make a determination on whether to bring charges against Clinton as quickly as possible. If charges are made, a grand jury will determine whether to indict. “I think that there is only one answer that can be reached, and I am hopeful that will be the outcome that the FBI achieves,” said Pompeo, who also serves on the House Intelligence Committee. “These are just facts,” Pompeo added. “We’ve all seen the reports of the classified information on her server. It could not and should not have been lawfully handled in the way that she did it.” Pompeo’s comments came as the panel interviewed former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta behind closed doors Friday for nearly six hours.

Sexual assaults up at military schools WASHINGTON — Reports of sexual assaults at the three major military academies surged in the 2014-15 school year, led by the Air Force Academy, where the number nearly doubled, the Defense Department said Friday. Complaints of sexual harassment also spiked, the department said. Pentagon officials said the sharp increases were due largely to students’ growing confidence in the reporting system and expanded awareness programs, but the announcement raised nagging questions about whether sexual misconduct is rising at the schools. “I think it’s appropriate for people to feel frustrated about hearing this in the news. Bottom line is that if this were an easy problem, we would have solved it years ago,” said Nate Galbreath, the senior executive adviser for the Pentagon’s sexual assault prevention office. “Unfortunately, this is a very hard problem to solve.” The Army, Navy and Air Force academies received a total of 91 sexual assault reports in 2014-15, up from 59 in the previous school year, an increase of 54 percent. The Air Force Academy accounted for 49 of the sexual assault reports, compared with 25 the previous year.

Guitar silhouettes to return to Tupelo TUPELO — Colorful silhouettes of guitars that stood on the streets of the birthplace of Elvis Presley are to return. The large 150-pound silhouettes of guitars were painted by schoolchildren and installed in downtown Tupelo starting in January 2010. But construction along Main Street forced the art pieces to be removed this past summer. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports that they may be back on the streets by this summer. The guitars are part of a public art project dreamed up by Tupelo Public School District art teacher Kit Stafford. The design is modeled after Elvis Presley’s first guitar.

Starkville industrial park plans coming STARKVILLE — Developers are expected to unveil plans for a new industrial park next week. The Starkville Daily News reports that the Golden Triangle Development LINK is due to unveil plans at a public meeting next Thursday at the East Mississippi Community College. The location of the proposed industrial park has not yet been publicly disclosed. In a news release, the developers say they will present an overview of the plans and cost estimates. Plans for a $10 million industrial park in one location in Starkville were cancelled last year

and since then the same developers have been in search of a new site. Funds for the industrial park would be provided through bonds from Oktibbeha County and the city of Starkville.

MSU mulls banning hoverboards inside STARKVILLE — Mississippi State is expected to approve a policy change this month that prevents the use of hoverboards inside all campus buildings. Citing safety concerns, the university’s executive council will meet Jan. 25 to consider the measure. Vice President for Student Affairs Regina Hyatt says if approved the popular, self-balancing motorized boards would be added to a list of other prohibited wheeled items inside campus buildings, including bicycles and skateboards. That proposed change is separate from a current prohibition of the popular self-balancing, motorized boards inside residence halls. Hyatt said Friday numerous reports link the boards to fires and they’re looking to take preventative action to make certain the campus community is safe.

School district will return to community CLINTON — The newlyelected Claiborne County School Board and state education officials have met to discuss the process of returning the school district to community control by July 1. The board met Friday in Clinton with represen-

tatives of the Mississippi School Boards Association and the Mississippi Department of Education. No action was taken, but board members learned about the process for returning the district to the community and training opportunities by the MSBA. In September 2013, Gov. Phil Bryant signed an emergency declaration that allowed the state education department to remove the Claiborne County School Board and superintendent and appoint a conservator to oversee district operations. The state recently ruled accreditation violations have been corrected, asking Bryant to end the state of emergency.

Petal, Hattiesburg reach sewer deal PETAL — The city of Petal is celebrating a legal win. WDAM-TV reports Mayor Hal Marx says the city reached an agreement with Hattiesburg over sewer rates. Marx says the dispute was about giving citizens a fair rate. He says the city now has a formula in place so that in the future, the sewer rate will continue to have a fair rate for wastewater treatment. This has been a contentious issue since August 2013, when Petal sued Hattiesburg for increasing fees for the use of Hub City sewage lagoons. Marx says they’re glad an agreement was reached without having to go to trial.

Coming Up In The Daily Corinthian Get the year off to a healthier start with Crossroads Magazine Healthy Living edition, coming Saturday, Jan. 30.

Daughter is paying a price for living on parents’ dole DEAR ABBY: I recently graduated from college and moved out of my parents’ house and in with my fiance. My parents have assumed most of the cost of our upcoming wedding after insisting we have a big formal one. I’m also still on their Abigail c e l l p h o n e and car Van Buren plan and health insurance Dear Abby policies. I do not agree with my parents’ religious or political views and they know that. However, my mother insists on connecting with me on social media and regularly sends me texts criticizing me for responding to family members’ negative comments about my very general and inoffensive status updates. She says she’s “disappointed,” and then she and Dad threaten to not pay for the wedding. After a recent argument, she threatened to drop me from their health and car insurance. Abby, I’m tired of them holding these things over my head. Visiting has become awkward

because of their threats. It feels like I’m not welcome in my own family. When I offer to take care of these things myself, my parents act as though I’m being ridiculous and retract their threats. I have threatened to elope with my fiance to alleviate these issues. I don’t want to be estranged from my parents, but I can’t change who I am as a person and what I believe. How can I deal with this in a way that doesn’t make me as childish as they are? -- I AM WHO I AM IN MINNESOTA DEAR ARE WHO YOU ARE: I have often said that women should not marry until they are independent and can support themselves, because one day they may have to. Your parents treat you like a child they can still control because, financially, you are dependent. If you didn’t want a big, expensive wedding, you should never have agreed to one. It would not be childish for you to find a job (if you don’t already have one) and buy your own health and car insurance. It is also time for you and your fiance to tell your parents -- in the most loving way possible -- that while you are deeply grateful that they want to give

you a big, expensive wedding, the two of you have decided to scale it back to something you can manage on your own. And this time don’t make it a threat. Act on it. If you do, you will then be free to think and say whatever you please. DEAR ABBY: I have started seeing this guy who doesn’t want me to join the police force. I know he cares, but my dream has always been to be a part of the justice system. On the other hand, I don’t want to lose a great guy over this one decision. Do I choose the dream or the guy? -- DREAMER IN THE USA DEAR DREAMER: You are jumping the gun in thinking you must make a choice right now. You haven’t mentioned whether you have the qualifications to join law enforcement. If you do, then for you to sacrifice your dream for someone you have only started seeing would be a huge mistake, and I urge you not to do it. 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). Adorableness and boldness will go together. The one who charms you will probably do so because he or she has the courage to say what the others are keeping inside. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The rule enforcer is often unpopular. Since that would be you today, you may be able to circumvent the problem by letting them come up with their own punishment for crossing the line. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re cool. You’re warm. You’re hot. You’ll do the whole range today based on the people you’re around and the emotional temperature you feel will be most effective for dealing. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You shouldn’t make the game so hard for yourself on a daily basis, or life will slowly grate at your joy. Why not give yourself multiple ways to win, smile and love? Set yourself up for something good. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re

committed to helping the lives of others and this is what will make your own life great. Take it in stride. You can’t help everyone at once, but you will make a difference. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve an expectation for the day. It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to include the one you love to see. Your connection with water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) will be especially strong. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you share about your travels, they may be intrigued but they won’t understand completely if they weren’t there. That’s what makes your relationship with your travel companion so special. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s hard not to judge your friends when you’re witness to ill-advised behavior. It’s even harder not to judge when you’re the one messing up. But judgments won’t help anyone now. Pointing toward a better way might, though.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know how you admire the one with a talent you don’t possess? Well, someone feels the same way about you. The funny part is that you don’t even realize you have this talent because it’s so much a part of who you are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Halfway pleased isn’t really your style. It’s worse than not being pleased at all, because it ties up more of your time and attention. That’s why you aim to please beyond expectation and experience the same. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When words aren’t enough -- and you will run out of them today -- your heart will go forward and your actions will fill in the blanks perfectly. Trust yourself. They do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s still debatable whether the distraction is helping or hurting. On the one hand it lightens the pressure you were putting on yourself. Or does it only spread it to a different spot?

Lady Lions end Lady Warriors hold BY H. LEE SMITH II lsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Leave it to the Biggersville Lady Lions to end the Corinth Lady Warriors streak. Biggersville led by as many as 12 in the first half and held off a late Corinth rally to knock off the two-time defending Alcorn County Tournament champions 63-59 at the Crossroads Arena on Saturday. Corinth (7-7) was out to become just the eighth girls’ three-peat champion in the last 67 years of the event. CHS had beaten Alcorn Central and Kossuth the previous two gatherings and a win over Biggersville would have completed the round-robin trifecta, something only Al-

corn Central accomplished in 1998-2000. In stead it was the Lady Lions who tasted tournament victory for the first time since 2007. After winning a record four straight from 1989-92, BHS had won just once in 23 years. “Friday night’s win gave us a lot of confidence,” said BHS Head Coach Cliff Little. The confidence from the semifinal win was much needed. When Biggersville traveled to Corinth less than three weeks ago, they left with a loss ... a 41-point loss. “They were really hot that game,” Little said, noting Corinth’s 11 3-pointers. “We went back and watched the film and saw that we made

plenty of mistakes, a lot of them on our own.” Biggersville opened up a 23-17 lead after one with Jada Tubbs and Tyleshia Davis combining for 19 of those points. Tubbs had 11, including a 7-of-8 showing from the line. BHS led by as many as 12 in the opening half, but settled for a 36-27 lead at the break. The point total was one off of what the Lady Lions’ had to show for four quarters worth of work in their last meeting with Corinth. “We weren’t going to worry ourselves about losing this game,” said Little. “We just wanted to make sure we played as hard as we could and go from there.”

Che Curlee got lose for eight points in the third quarter as Corinth outscored Biggersville by two. The Lady Lions hit 4-of-6 from the line in the frame to help take a 46-39 lead into the final quarter. Seven points by Kristen Herman and a pair of 3-pointers by Parker Peterson kept Corinth in the game down the stretch. The Lady Lions missed 10 of their 18 tries from the line in the frame, but a make by Ali Settlemires in the closing seconds sealed the victory.

Corinth’s Antares Gwyn slams home two of his team-high 19 points as the Warriors won their 10th straight ACT by beating Kossuth 73-57 on Saturday.

The Corinth Warriors got defensive in defending their Alcorn County Tournament championship for the 11th time. Corinth had more steals (19) than field goals allowed (17) in easing past Kossuth 73-57 in Saturday’s Alcorn County Tournament championship. CHS (15-1) extended its record streak to 10 with its 17th title in 18 years. It was also Corinth’s 41st championship since 1950. The win also extended Corinth’s winning streak to 14 -- matching the 2010 squad for the longest such streak in at least 11 years. Antares Gwyn filled up the stat sheet again, tallying a team-high 19 points to go along with seven six steals and four assists. The senior, who moved to within one point of tying Lyle Dickerson for 14th on the school’s all-time scoring list was named the MVP of the tournament after totaling 38 points, 18 rebounds and 16 steals in the two contests. Gwyn scored the game’s

first four points. Kossuth went the first four possessions without a shot attempt and had just four more points (19) than turnovers at the break. Gwyn had eight in the first as Corinth jumped out to a 20-8 lead. Tada Stricklen, who joined his teammate on the All-Tournament team, got five of his 11 points in the second as the lead ballooned to 42-19 at recess. Kossuth’s Rick Hodum, who reached the 1,500-point mark in his career with a 3-pointer in the fourth, led all scorers with 29. He and Kennedy Dye had all of the Aggies (10-7) first-half points. Kossuth finished the night with a 32-31 advantage on the boards. The Aggies were seeking their first ACT title since 2006. Dye finished with 21 points as he and Hodum were named to the All-Tournament squad. Alcorn Central’s Trevor Godwin and Biggersville’s Devonte Spears rounded out the annual squad.

Hannahs, Bell lead Arkansas past MSU Moody leads Ole Miss past Georgia The Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Dusty Hannahs can’t remember the last time he’s experienced an extended shooting slump of any kind, if ever. The Arkansas guard put an emphatic end to some recent struggles — at least, by his lofty standards — in an 82-68 win over Mississippi State on Saturday. Hannahs scored a career-high 26 points as the Razorbacks (8-7, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) won their second straight game, also setting a career best with eight 3-pointers. The performance topped a 25-point, seven 3-pointer effort the former Texas Tech transfer had in 2014, and it came after he shot only 17 of 46 (37 percent) over his last five games — including 4 of 17 on 3-pointers. “It definitely feels good to come out after the last couple of games,” Hannahs said. “My teammates aren’t shy to let me know about how I wasn’t making the shots, too, so it’s just good to be able to hit them.” Hannahs finished 9 of 16 from the field in the win, including 8 of 13 on 3-pointers, and he had

plenty of help in the form of fellow sharp shooter Anthlon Bell — who scored 25 points and was 5 of 7 from behind the arc. Arkansas was 16-of24 shooting (66.7 percent) overall on 3-pointers, matching the school record for percentage in a game. “It was what they were giving us; they were giving us that shot,” Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. “So, you’ve got to give our guys credit for stepping up and knocking them down.” Craig Sword had 21 points and Gavin Ware added 14 for the Bulldogs (7-7, 0-2), who trailed by as many as 14 points in the second half before cutting the Arkansas lead to 62-59 with 5:28 remaining. The Razorbacks led 36-32 at halftime, and they opened the second half on a 12-2 run to extend the lead to 48-34 after Bell’s fourth 3-pointer of the game. It was the first time in the senior’s career he had made at least four 3-pointers in three straight games, and he finished 9 of 17 overall from the field while scoring in double figures for the 14th time in 15 games this season.

Steelers pull out win over Bengals on FG BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading to Denver. The Cincinnati Bengals are heading to another long offseason after a meltdown as ugly and illtimed as it was complete. Chris Boswell kicked a 35-yard field goal with 14 seconds remaining as the Steelers somehow pulled out an 18-16 victory in the AFC wild-card game Saturday night. Pittsburgh moved into field goal position after a pair of 15-yard penalties on the Bengals, one on linebacker Vontaze Burfict and another on Adam Jones after Burfict hit defenseless Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Boswell drilled his fourth field goal of the game to give the Steelers their first playoff win since the 2010 AFC championship game. The Bengals appeared

to be in position for their first postseason win in 25 years before Jeremy Hill’s fumble gave Pittsburgh one last shot. Roethlisberger left with a right shoulder injury on the final play of the third quarter but returned for Pittsburgh’s last-gasp drive. Unable to throw with any real authority, he still managed to get the Steelers near midfield with 22 seconds to go when he threw high to Brown in Cincinnati territory. Burfict, whose sack of Roethlisberger sent the quarterback to the locker room, lowered his shoulder as Brown landed. The volatile linebacker earned a personal foul. Jones compounded the problem when he lost his cool, easily putting Boswell within field goal range after Cincinnati’s eighth — and final — flag of an unsightly night.

BY CHRIS BURROWS Associated Press

OXFORD — Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy was screaming for a timeout. Fortunately for Kennedy, his high-scoring point guard Stefan Moody did not hear him. Moody dribbled through Georgia defenders and converted an awkward, rim-rattling layup with 3.8 seconds remaining to give the Rebels a 7271 comeback win Saturday night. “I didn’t hear AK (Kennedy) calling for a timeout. I just need to go,” said Moody with a smile. “Really, it was a garbage play and I wanted to give it a chance to go in.”

Kennedy simply said, “Once he turns the corner on a defense, there’s nothing more we can ask for. What can I say? Players make plays.” Moody scored 29 points, with seven assists and three steals, but the gamewinning shot capped an improbable comeback that erased a 71-67 deficit in the final 42 seconds. Sebastian Saiz and Rasheed Brooks added 14 points and 10 rebounds apiece for the Rebels (123, 2-1 Southeastern Conference). Yante Maten led Georgia (8-5, 1-2) with 20 points. Georgia led 44-35 at halftime and by as many as 11 points in the second

half before the rally by the Rebels. J.J. Frazier’s 3-pointer put Georgia up 71-67 with 57 seconds left. Brooks answered with a 3 for Ole Miss and, after a missed 3 on the other end, Moody hit the winner. Kenny Gaines missed a contested, potential winning 3. Gaines finished with 14 points, while Charles Mann added 15. “A hard fought game. Tough ball game,” Georgia coach Mark Fox said. “We had serious foul trouble in the second half that was hard to overcome, but give Ole Miss credit. They earned it.” Each team made 21 of 58 (36 percent) from the field and faded in the final

15 minutes. Georgia was only 2 of 16 while Ole Miss was 3 of 12. The Rebels held the edge at the free throw line, connecting on 24 of 35 (69 percent), while Georgia was 22 of 34 (64 percent). “Our defense down the stretch was the difference. When you are not making shots, it’s demoralizing,” Kennedy said. “It was for both teams. This is a big win for us because by the end of the year, I think Georgia is an NCAA Tournament team.” Up next Ole Miss visits LSU on Wednesday. Georgia hosts Tennessee on Wednesday.

compounded the problem when he lost his cool, easily putting Boswell within field goal range after Cincinnati’s eighth — and final — flag of an unsightly night. Roethlisberger finished 18 of 31 for 229 yards and a touchdown in rainy conditions. Jordan Todman and Fitzgerald Toussaint combined for 123 yards rushing filling in for DeAngelo Williams. Still, it hardly seemed like it would be enough. AJ McCarron put together a late rally after Martavis Bryant’s somersaulting touchdown grab gave the Steelers a 15-0 lead heading into the final quarter. Cincinnati ripped off 16 straight points, the last six on a 25-yard strike from McCarron to A.J. Green that put the Bengals in

front. They missed the 2-point conversion. When Burfict intercepted Landry Jones on Pittsburgh’s ensuing possession, Cincinnati and coach Marvin Lewis appeared ready to end the sixth-longest postseason drought in NFL history. Then, the team that said it would keep it together fell completely apart. Hill saw the ball pop out as Cincinnati tried to run out the clock and the Steelers recovered at the Pittsburgh 9 with 1:23 left. Just enough time for Roethlisberger — with plenty of help from Cincinnati — to send the Steelers to Denver and a rematch with the Broncos, whom Pittsburgh beat 34-27 on Dec. 20. Another long winter looms in Cincinnati.

No warm welcome for Seahawks in Minnesota BY DAVE CAMPBELL AP Pro Football Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — Six weeks ago, the Seattle Seahawks left Minnesota with a laugher 38-7 victory over the Vikings. Well, the Seahawks have returned for a rematch, and the Vikings won’t be extending a warm welcome. The temperature at kickoff is expected to be around zero degrees. “You’ve got to make it work. Just use it to your advantage. Nobody likes being cold, but you’ve got to be comfortable being uncomfortable,” Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs said. Yes, the Seahawks have

begun their quest for a third straight Super Bowl appearance with the opportunity to avenge last year’s crushing loss to New England. Sure, the Vikings have secured their first home game in the playoffs in six years. This wild-card round game is most likely to be remembered, though, for the thermometer. “This is nothing. This is what we do. This is why we’re in Minnesota in the first place,” Vikings defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd said. Here are some key angles to know about the game: Russell’s roll: Seahawks quarterback Rus-

sell Wilson finished the regular season on a historic high, with 24 touchdown passes and only one interception over the final seven games. He became the franchise record-holder for single-season touchdown passes (34) and the first 4,000-yard passer in Seahawks history, and led the NFL in passer rating for the season at 110.1. The scary part for the Vikings is that Wilson in the past was only getting warmed up once he started the playoffs. In eight career postseason games, Wilson is 6-2 with 12 touchdowns and six interceptions (four

came in the NFC championship game against Green Bay last year) and a 97.2 passer rating. His last postseason pass, of course, was the one he’d love to have back, picked off at the goal line by Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler at the end of the Super Bowl. It’s not permanent: The Vikings went 11-5 over two seasons at TCF Bank Stadium, the best winning percentage ever by an NFL team in a temporary stadium. Unless they advance to the NFC championship game and Washington or Green Bay beats Carolina, this will be their last game on campus.

Chiefs beat Texans for first playoff win since 1994 BY KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON — After 22 years without a playoff victory, the Kansas City Chiefs secured this one early thanks to a touchdown off the opening kickoff and a harassing defense that forced five turnovers and shut out the Houston Texans Saturday. Alex Smith and the Kansas City offense was effective, if not explosive, while Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer had the worst game of his career and was booed most of the afternoon in a 30-0 loss in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs. Houston lost J.J. Watt to an injury in the third quarter and Jadeveon Clowney never even put on his jersey. The Chiefs extended

their NFL-best winning streak to 11 games and will face Denver or New England next week. On the opening kickoff, Knile Davis got three good blocks around the 10-yard line and then simply outran the rest of the defenders for the 106-yard kickoff return score, the second-longest kickoff return TD in postseason history. The defense took over after that, forcing Hoyer into a fumble and a three of his career-high four interceptions before halftime to help the Chiefs (12-5) take a 13-0 lead. Smith threw a touchdown pass late in the third and Spencer Ware added a 5-yard TD run on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 27-0.

The victory breaks a streak of eight straight playoff losses by the Chiefs and is their first postseason win since beating the Oilers in Houston on Jan. 16, 1994. Hoyer was 15 of 34 for 136 yards as Houston (9-8) lost a home playoff game for the first time. Travis Kelce, who also had more than 100 yards receiving in the first meeting with the Texans this year, had another big day, finishing with eight receptions for 128 yards. Watt missed most of the second half after injuring his groin in the third quarter. Last year’s Defensive Player of the Year and the NFL sack leader didn’t have a sack on Saturday as Houston’s defense played well but couldn’t hold

off an offense that got so many extra chances because of Hoyer’s terrible day. Watt injured his groin midway through the third quarter. He returned after a few plays, but soon left the game again when he was pushed to the ground by the head by tackle Eric Fisher. Kansas City receiver Jeremy Maclin injured his right knee on the same play and didn’t return. The Chiefs capped that drive when Smith found rookie Chris Conley in the back of the end zone for 9-yard touchdown that extended the lead to 20-0. Houston defensive end Jared Crick got a personal foul late in the third quarter when he hit Fisher after a play, in an apparent

retaliation for the Watt hit. Hoyer threw an interception to Eric Berry with about seven minutes left in the first quarter. It didn’t matter though as two plays later Kareem Jackson deflected a pass by Smith and it was intercepted by Brian Cushing to give Houston the ball right back. The Texans were driving after the interception when Hoyer was sacked by Allen Bailey and he fumbled. Dontari Poe recovered it at the Kansas City 42 for the Chiefs and they extended their lead to 10-0 on a 49-yard field goal on the ensuing drive. Trailing 13-0, a 49-yard run by Alfred Blue got Houston to the Kansas City 13.

The Texans got a first down at the 2 and Watt and defensive tackle Vince Wilfork came in on offense, with Watt lined up as the wildcat quarterback and Wilfork blocking. Watt took the direct snap but had nowhere to go and lost a yard on his first career carry. Hoyer was intercepted on the next play by Josh Mauga. Hoyer had also struggled against the Chiefs in the season opener, being benched in the fourth quarter of a 27-20 loss. The Texans won the AFC South to reach the postseason for the third time in franchise history and first since 2012. Clowney, the top overall pick in the 2014 draft, was inactive with a foot injury.

Bears coordinator Adam Gase Green Bay, Rodgers struggling; hired as Dolphins head coach Skins, Cousins soaring to playoffs BY STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase was hired Saturday as the Miami Dolphins’ ninth coach since 2004, and he’ll try to end the team’s seven-year playoff drought. Gase was the NFL’s hottest coaching candidate among assistants, and at 37, he becomes the league’s young coach. He also interviewed with the Eagles, Browns and Giants and had been considered the front-runner for the Dolphins job. He was offensive coordinator for two years in Denver before joining the Bears. “I’ve been in this profession since I was 18,” Gase said at an introductory news conference. “That’s

more than half my life. The last three years it’s an accelerated growth. Age is only a number. You get older really quick. Every week is a growing experience.” The Dolphins chose Gase after interviewing six other candidates. “I want to win Super Bowls, not just make the playoffs,” owner Stephen Ross said. “Adam Gase puts us in the best position to win Super Bowls.” Gase has no head coaching experience, but has been a target of NFL coaching searches for at least three years. A year ago he followed coach John Fox from Denver to Chicago after interviewing for head jobs with the Bears, Bills and Falcons. Gase is a protege of for-

mer Dolphins coach Nick Saban and has won favorable reviews for his work with a range of quarterback talent — from Peyton Manning to Jay Cutler to Tim Tebow. Manning said Gase is bright, eager and a hard worker. “He’ll be an excellent head coach without a doubt,” Manning said in a statement released by the Dolphins. “He is ready for this for sure.” Said Cutler: “I wish he could stay with us in Chicago. He will now continue to have success in this league.” In Miami, Gase will try to help Ryan Tannehill, who is 29-35 in four years as a starter and regressed in 2015, when the Dolphins finished 6-10. Executive vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum, who led the job search, had success while with the Jets hiring first-time NFL head coaches Eric Mangini and Rex Ryan. That approach hasn’t worked with the coaching carousel in Miami, where none of Gase’s eight most recent predecessors had previous NFL head coaching experience.

His 101⁄2 sacks led the Packers and was his highest total since getting 111⁄2 in 2012. Peppers and fellow OLB Clay Matthews give the Packers a pair of dangerous veteran pass rushers, and their solid play has been key to a generally effective defense. Along the line: A young Redskins offensive line — RG Brandon Scherff, RT Morgan Moses and LG Spencer Long became starters this season — allowed only 27 sacks.

C Kory Lichtensteiger returns after missing half the season on IR. “It’s like he never left. ... Should be like riding a bike,” Pro Bowl LT Trent Williams said. “There’s hardly any looks that we’re going to come across that he hasn’t seen and doesn’t know how to diagnose.” Ground game: Heading into the season, the Redskins vowed to be a run-first team, and Alfred Morris and Matt Jones topped 100 yards rushing once each in Weeks 1 and 2. And then it all fell apart. Morris did not reach the 100-yard mark in a game again until Week 17. “We’ve never lost faith in Alfred,” coach Jay Gruden said. “We haven’t killed him throughout the season (by) giving him 25-30 carries a game. He’s fresh, and this is the perfect time to start to utilize him.” ’Backers: OLB Ryan Kerrigan, who led Washington with 91⁄2 sacks, is a known quantity. But during its 4-0 finish, the team benefited from strong play by three other guys at linebacker — Will Compton and Mason Foster, neither of whom was a starter at ILB when the season began, and rookie OLB Preston Smith. Compton had his first career sack and first career interception in Weeks 16 and 17. Smith picked up five sacks over the final three games. They’ll go up against a Packers offensive line that allowed Rodgers to be sacked 46 times. Third downers: Among plenty of problems for Green Bay’s offense has been an inability to convert on third downs. Green Bay was 28th in the league in third-down conversions at 33 percent, partly a reflection of an inconsistent running game.

‘Today’ host offers in inspiration in new book BY TERRI SCHLICHENMEYER The Bookworm Sez

“Where We Belong: Journeys That Show Us the Way” by Hoda Kotb with Jane Lorenzini c.2016, Simon & Schuster $24.95 / $33.95 Canada 272 pages You have to be somewhere today. There’s no hurry or schedule to follow, but you must get there on time. You don’t have a map or itinerary and the destination might be a surprise but once you arrive, as happens in the new book “Where We Belong” by Hoda Kotb (with Jane Lorenzini), you’ll be in exactly the right place. It’s natural: a turn of the calendar, and you’re feeling some inner restlessness. It’s OK to admit it, says Kotb: you sense that there’s more to life, and you yearn to find it. The good news is that it’s never too late to start

working toward that perfect spot in your world; in fact, here, Kotb introduces readers to people who did. Michelle Hauser grew up in Mason City , Iowa , living sometimes with her mother and sometimes with her father. By age ten, she skillfully ran a household; at twelve, she landed a paying job because she sensed a need for self-sufficiency; at fourteen, she worked in a restaurant, where her love of cooking was cemented. She ultimately became a chef but throughout her life, she always harbored a dream of being a doctor. It would be even better if her two passions could unite… Craig Juntenen never wanted children and had taken steps to ensure that it didn’t happen; his wife, Kathi, had known about his tenets when they were dating, and she accepted them. She was,

First Columbus female firefighter plans retirement BY ISABELLE ALTMAN The Commercial Dispatch

COLUMBUS — On Jan. 19, Carole Summerall will officially retire from Columbus Fire and Rescue. When she does, she will become the first woman to ever retire from CF&R. Summerall, who has lived in Columbus nearly all her life, has worked for the department since 1991. For a year before her hiring, she worked as a volunteer firefighter. “I started doing fire training with them, and somebody mentioned, ‘Well, why don’t you apply (with) the city (fire department)? They have openings,’” Summerall said. “So I applied for the city and passed my physical agility test and then passed the written test and I was hired.” Summerall wasn’t the first woman to be hired by CF&R, according to Anthony Colom, the department’s spokesman. But she is only one of three women to ever work for the department and the only one who stayed long enough to retire, Colom said. As Summerall herself pointed out, firefighting is a physically demanding job. “I was lucky because my first captain was a family friend, more or less a neighbor,” she said. “And I grew up and went to school with a lot of the firefighters that were already hired. So I knew several people already. So it wasn’t too bad, but it’s just a really physically demanding job.” Knowing and trusting her coworkers, many of whom worked as city and volunteer firefighters, was important, because firefighters have to put so much trust in each other on the job. The trust and camaraderie they develop is one of Summerall’s favorite things about the job. “It’s like having a whole other family, complete with the crazy uncles, people that you normally would have in your family,” she said. “You have arguments, but I can trust if I ask anybody to do anything, or if I need help, I have no doubt that they would help me.” This trust helped Summerall stay cool in some of the first fires she ever fought.

“They start training you from day one and you’ve got to trust your coworkers and they have to trust you as well,” she said. “So I trusted that they weren’t going to put me in a bad situation and they trusted that I was going to do what I was told. So there’s a large trust factor.” After about five years as a rookie firefighter, Summerall was promoted to engineer. As engineer, she drove and pumped the firetruck. In 2001, she became the department’s first ever Fire and Life Safety Educator. At the time, few other fire departments in Mississippi had a public education division. Summerall said it was forward-thinking on the part of CF&R to start focusing on prevention rather than only battling emergencies when they happened. The public education division doesn’t just focus on fire prevention either, Summerall said. The division educates the public on everything from bicycle and pedestrian safety to child passenger safety. “Now we have 33 child passenger safety technicians within the department,” Summerall said. “We didn’t have any before. We’ve got CPR First Aid instructors in the department. We do bicycle safety, pedestrian safety, all sorts of stuff like that... the fire prevention, that’s a big part of it, but that’s not all that we do here.” Summerall also volunteers with the Red Cross and serves on the Mississippi Burn Camp board. She will continue her work with these organizations after she retires. She even has a retreat with Burn Camp in January. Still, one of the things Summerall said she will look forward to after retiring is slowing down -- living according to her own schedule and taking care of her mother. Shortly after she retires, her son, Eric, will apply for a position with CF&R. The department has a nepotism policy that means Summerall and her son can’t both work for the city at the same time. She’s hoping he will carry on the tradition. “It’s been a fantastic job,” Summerall said.

therefore, very surprised when Craig came home after a golf outing and announced that he had an idea that ultimately changed their lives and their family, when two became five… Kay Abrahams grew up in the lap of luxury with everything she wanted — except parental attention, which she longed for. Her parents loved her, that was a fact, but they were busy with careers and had little time for her. Eventually, she fell into the same situation but a move halfway across the country helped her find the “family” she needed. And for successful businessman Lindley DeGarmo, the move away from a sales career meant moving toward a job closer to his heart – and to his soul. So where’s your turning point? It won’t be identical to

the ones you’ll find inside “Where We Belong,” but you’ll get a lot of inspiration just the same; you’ll also get a lot of same. Indeed, the stories here are all very similar and, with one exception, preexisting wealth shows up quite often in the tales. That may turn a few readers off. And yet, who doesn’t struggle with New Year’s Resolutions? If you’ve made ’em, you probably do, and Kotb offers something here that’ll energize you: true, encouraging stories. If those everyday people can identify, find, and accomplish lifechanging goals, surely you can, too. And so, in the end, I mostly enjoyed “Where We Belong.” It’s a happy book, perhaps just what’s needed to start a year with myriad possibilities. And if you’re eager for that, then this book belongs in your hands.

Christmas for LeBonheur As a member of the National Junior Honor Society, Greenlea Lipford, an eighthÂ grader at Michie School, is required to complete service hours each semester. When she was referred to LeBonheur Childrenâ€™s Hospital by her primary doctor in November, she saw an opportunity to fulfill those hours. Lipford was impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone she met on her first visit to LeBonheur and was eager to do something for the children there.Â She was confident that her Michie School family would want to help her spread Christmas cheer to patients at LeBonheur, so she began collecting gifts in December. She was surprised at the amount of gifts her fellow students donated.Â Just before Christmas, she went for another appointment at LeBonheur, and was proud and happy to deliver enough Christmas presents to brighten the days of several patients.

Twin birth rate up, but higher multiples decline BY MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer

NEW YORK — The twin birth rate hit at an alltime high last year in the United States while the rate for triplets, quadruplets, and higher was the lowest in two decades. Of the nearly 4 million babies born last year, more

than 135,000 were twins. That is about 1 in every 29 babies. In 1980, only 1 in every 53 babies was a twin. The figures come from the final 2014 birth statistics. Why the twin increase? More women are waiting until they are older to have babies, and moth-

ers in their 30s are more likely to have twins than younger women. Experts also point to fertility drugs and procedures like in vitro fertilization, which generally raise the chances of multiple births. While twin births have been rising for many

years, the rate of triplet and higher-order births has fallen 40 percent from its 1998 peak. That’s because doctors have been implanting fewer embryos during in vitro fertilization than in the past, in recognition that more embryos increase the risk of danger-

ous complications, some experts say. “What might have been a triplet birth in the past is now a twin birth,” said one of the authors of the new report, Michelle Osterman of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 1 in every 881 ba-

bies born last year was a triplet, quadruplet, or part of a higher number set. Guidelines urging use of fewer embryos were strengthened following the 2009 “Octomom” case, in which a California woman had octuplets after her doctor transferred 12 embryos.

Long before learning ABCs, kids recognize words are symbols BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Celebrate your child’s scribbles. A novel experiment shows that even before learning their ABCs, youngsters start to recognize that a written word symbolizes language in a way a drawing doesn’t — a developmental step on the path to reading. Researchers used a puppet, line drawings and simple vocabulary to find that children as young as 3 are beginning to grasp that nuanced concept. “Children at this very early age really know a lot more than we had previously thought,” said developmental psychologist Rebecca Treiman of Washington University in St. Louis, who co-authored the study. The research published Wednesday in the journal Child Development suggests an additional way to consider reading readiness, beyond the emphasis on phonetics or being able to point out an “A’’ in the alphabet

chart. Appreciating that writing is “something that stands for something else, it actually is a vehicle for language — that’s pretty powerful stuff,” said Temple University psychology professor Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, a specialist in literacy development who wasn’t involved in the new work. And tots’ own scribbling is practice. What a child calls a family portrait may look like a bunch of grapes but “those squiggles, that ability to use lines to represent something bigger, to represent something deeper than what is on that page, is the great open door into the world of symbolic thought,” HirshPasek said. The idea: At some point, children learn that a squiggle on a page represents something, and then that the squiggle we call text has a more specific meaning than what we call a drawing. “Dog,” for example, should be

Study: Some cardiac arrest victims ignore warning symptoms BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Sudden cardiac arrest may not always be so sudden: New research suggests a lot of people may ignore potentially life-saving warning signs hours, days, even a few weeks before they collapse. Cardiac arrest claims about 350,000 U.S. lives a year. It’s not a heart attack, but worse: The heart abruptly stops beating, its electrical activity knocked out of rhythm. CPR can buy critical time, but so few patients survive that it’s been hard to tell if the longtime medical belief is correct that it’s a strike with little or no advance warning. An unusual study that has closely tracked sudden cardiac arrest in Portland, Oregon, for over a decade got around that roadblock, using interviews with witnesses, family and friends after patients collapse and tracking down their medical records. About half of middleaged patients for whom symptom information could be found had experienced warning signs, mostly chest pain or shortness of breath, in the month before suffering a cardiac arrest, researchers reported Monday. The research offers the possibility of one day preventing some cardiac arrests if doctors could figure out how to find and treat the people most at risk. “By the time the 911 call is made, it’s much too late for at least 90 percent of people,” said Dr. Sumeet Chugh of the CedarsSinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles, who led the study reported in Annals of Internal Medicine. “There’s this window of opportunity that we really didn’t know existed.” Importantly, a fraction of patients considered their symptoms bad enough to call 911 before they collapsed, and they were most likely to sur-

vive. That’s a reminder to the public not to ignore possible signs of heart trouble in hopes they’re just indigestion, said University of Pittsburgh emergency medicine specialist Dr. Clifton Callaway, who wasn’t involved in Monday’s study but praised it. “Chest pain, shortness of breath — those are things you should come in the middle of the night to the emergency department and get checked out,” said Callaway, who chairs the American Heart Association’s emergency care committee. Previous heart attacks, coronary heart disease, and certain inherited disorders that affect heartbeat all can increase the risk of sudden cardiac arrest. People known to be at high risk may receive an implanted defibrillator to shock the heart back into rhythm. But cardiac arrest is such a public health problem that the Institute of Medicine last summer urged a national campaign to teach CPR, so more bystanders know how to help. The data from the Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study examined records for nearly 1,100 people ages 35 to 65 who suffered a cardiac arrest between 2002 and 2012. For about a quarter of patients, researchers could find no information about whether they experienced symptoms — making it impossible to say just how common warning signs really are. But of the remaining 839 patients, half had evidence of at least one symptom in the previous month, the study found. For most, the symptoms began within 24 hours of their collapse, although some came a week before and a few up to a month. Chest pain was most common in men, while women were more likely to experience shortness of breath. Other symptoms included fainting and heart palpitations.

read the same way each time, while a canine drawing might appropriately be labeled a dog, or a puppy, or even their pet Rover. Treiman and colleagues tested 114 preschoolers, 3- to 5-year-olds who hadn’t received any formal instruction in reading or writing. Some youngsters were shown words such as dog, cat or doll, sometimes in cursive to rule out guessing if kids recognized a letter. Other children were shown simple drawings of those objects. Researchers would say what the word or drawing portrayed. Then they’d bring out a puppet and ask the child if they thought the puppet knew what the words or drawings were. If the puppet indicated the word “doll” was “baby” or “dog” was “puppy,” many children said the puppet was mistaken. But they more often accepted synonyms for the drawings, showing they were starting to understand that written words have a

far more specific meaning than a drawing, Treiman said. Language is “like a zoom lens on the world,” said Hirsh-Pasek. This study shows “even 3-yearolds know there’s something special about written words.” It’s not clear if children who undergo that developmental step at a later age — say, 5 or 6 instead of 3 or 4 — might go on to need extra help with learning to read, cautioned Brett Miller, an early learning specialist at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which helped fund the research. But because some children did better than others in the experiment, Treiman plans to study that. Scientists have long known that reading to very young children helps form the foundation for them to later learn to read, by introducing vocabulary, rhyming, and different speech sounds. But it’s important to include other activities that bring in

writing, too, Treiman said. Look closely at a tot’s scribbles. A child might say, “I’m writing my name,” and eventually the crayon scribble can become smaller and closer to the line than the larger scrawl that the tot proclaims is a picture of a flower or mom, she said. “It’s very exciting to see this develop,” she said. Previous studies have shown it’s helpful to run a finger under the text when reading to a youngster, because otherwise kids pay more attention to the pictures, Miller said. If the words aren’t pointed out, “they get less exposure to looking at text, and less opportunity to learn that sort of relationship — that text is meaningful and text relates to sound,” he said. Make sure children see you that you write for a purpose, maybe by having them tell you a story and watch you write it out, adds Hirsh-Pasek. “That’s much richer than just learning what a B or a P is.”

Incentives fail to motivate obese employees BY MICHELLE ANDREWS Kaiser Health News

Promising workers lower health insurance premiums for losing weight did nothing to help them take off the pounds, a recent study found. At the end of a year, obese workers had lost less than 1.5 pounds on average, statistically no different than the minute average gain of a tenth of a pound for workers who weren’t offered a financial incentive to lose weight. “Our study highlights some of the weaknesses” of workplace wellness programs, said Dr. Mitesh Patel, assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine and the study’s lead author. The study, published this month in the journal Health Affairs, re-

ported the results of a year-long randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of financial incentives to encourage weight loss among 197 obese employees of the University of Pennsylvania health system. Participants were asked to lose 5 percent of their weight. Each was assigned to one of four study groups. The control group wasn’t offered any financial rewards. The three other groups were offered an incentive valued at $550. One group was told they would begin receiving health insurance premium discounts on a bi-weekly basis immediately after reaching their weight loss goal, while another was told they would receive bi-weekly premium adjustments the following year if they reached their goal. The final group was eligible for a

daily lottery payment if they met their daily weight loss goal and weighed in the previous day. At year’s end, no group had met the 5 percent weight-loss target. Participants’ average weight was virtually unchanged, whether or not they had a financial incentive to lose pounds. The program may have failed for a number of reasons, Patel said. The $550 premium discount may not have been large enough. Bundling the financial reward into the insurance premium on a paycheck rather than making a separate payment to the worker may have affected how it was perceived. Other details — such as the fact that participants weighed themselves at work rather than at home — may have been offputting to some participants.

WWE finds new tag-team team partner in USA BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press

WWE’s “SmackDown” is trading the Cylons and ghost hunters of Syfy for a new tag-team partner, the USA Network. The only pro wrestling show named after a catchphrase, “SmackDown” moves to USA after a fiveyear run on Syfy and stints on three other networks since its inception in 1999. USA has long served as the home of WWE’s flagship show, “Raw,” live every Monday night since 1993. Now, USA has solidified its spot as the one-stop basic cable network for all WWE programming. “SmackDown,” which is taped each Tuesday,

moves to its new home at 8 p.m. Thursday. All that’s missing is the Ovaltron and giant fist from the show’s original set. Before he was blockbuster movie star Dwayne Johnson, the man known as The Rock inspired the show’s title with his famous “Lay the smackdown” trash talking and often boasted “SmackDown” was his show. The Rock’s show could now belong to Roman Reigns, his real-life cousin who stands tall as the WWE World Heavyweight champion. “I wish I could say (USA) makes a huge difference and it’s a super positive move and every-

one’s so pumped about it,” Reigns said. “But as a competitor, all I need is the ropes and hopefully people show up in the arena. From a wrestling standpoint, not too much has changed for us.” What could change, what needs to change as WWE inches closer to WrestleMania season, is “SmackDown’s spot as the promotion’s B show that lags behind “Raw” in both ratings and can’tmiss storylines. WWE stalwart John Cena rarely appeared on the show, and neither did the McMahon family over recent years, sending the message that “Smackdown” could be easily skipped and fans could

quickly catch up with video recaps on “Raw.” “I don’t look at it as any less of a show, it’s pretty much the same talent,” Reigns said. WWE needs a dose of star power and a second primetime spot could help showcase the young talent the promotion is desperately scrambling to push as injuries have taken out Cena and former champion Seth Rollins for WrestleMania on April 3 in Dallas. Does anyone have Goldberg’s number? How about Batista? But instead of relying on veterans, WWE could use the show to build the company around Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn or a

healthy Antonio Cesaro. Owens can cut a biting promo as well as any heel or fan favorite in sports entertainment and has the size and in-ring ability necessary that should make him WWE’s next true franchise superstar. WWE had mixed success in its bid to keep separate rosters on “Raw” and “SmackDown” that tried to create perception there were two distinct brands. The dream matches that should have been built never really developed and the brand split was abandoned in 2011. “It’s been seen and proven that a split brand, it can work. It can create really cool storylines,” Reigns said.

Just not in 2016. With more than 800 original episodes, “SmackDown” is one of the longest-running weekly episodic program in U.S. television history, and has aired in seven countries including Iraq, Japan, Italy and Mexico. WWE has revamped the broadcast booth, as well, making veteran sports announcer Mauro Ranallo the new voice of “Smackdown.” Ranallo, who called the international feed for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight, joins Byron Saxton and Jerry “The King” Lawler in the booth. Owens vs. Dean Ambrose headlines the first USA card.

Charles Kelley explores musical heritage on first solo album BY KRISTIN M. HALL Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The stars will align personally and professionally for singer Charles Kelley in February: He is expecting his first child and releasing his first solo record apart from the country vocal group Lady Antebellum. After years of trying to conceive, Kelley and his wife Cassie found out last year they would be parents just as the Georgia native started working on a different sound separate from his bandmates Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood. The album, “The Driver,” is due out Feb. 5; their baby, a boy, is due the same month.

“Some would say great timing and some would say poor timing,” Kelley, 34, said with a smile. “You can never predict when a baby is going to come, but I am so excited.” The trio announced at the end of their Wheels Up tour last year that they would be taking a hiatus, but it will be a productive break for the group. Scott, too, announced she is recording a gospel album with her family during the time off. On “The Driver,” Kelley explores his own musical heritage and influences ranging from Southern rock to ‘70s folk singers on songs that he admits probably wouldn’t have been a fit for the Lady

“For me, as an artist, I do have other things that I am into and styles of music. I just knew that if I never did this, it would never see the light of day.” Charles Kelley Singer A catalog. He channels Bob Seger on “Leaving Nashville,” a piano ballad about the highs and lows of life on Music Row, and enlists the legendary Stevie Nicks to duet on a cover of Tom Petty’s “Southern Accents.” “For me, as an artist, I do have other things that I am into and styles of music,” Kelley said. “I just

knew that if I never did this, it would never see the light of day.” But it hasn’t been an easy reinvention. He announced a solo club tour, but then postponed several shows so he could finish the recording. And he learned he had to reintroduce himself to fans. “I am kind of a new artist again, and we really

needed to get the word out there,” Kelley said of postponing the tour. Kelley admits that it has been a big change playing clubs again when Lady Antebellum virtually skipped that step, starting out opening up in amphitheaters and arenas for acts like Martina McBride, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw. Their first two albums released in 2008 and 2010 went multi-platinum, carried by songs like “Love Don’t Live Here” and the crossover hit “Need You Now.” “You get so used to hearing 15,000 people scream and sing your songs back that it’s a little jarring,” Kelley said of his solo shows. “I have

to walk off stage and go, ‘OK, I am going for a different response here.’” Kelley shines when he sings solo, but he is an expert harmonizer on songs like the regretful “I Wish You Were Here,” which features Miranda Lambert. And the title song, a three-part harmony with Dierks Bentley and Eric Paslay, already earned him a Grammy nomination for best country duo/ group performance. “In an ideal world, I would love to hop back and forth between these two projects,” Kelley said of Lady Antebellum and his solo work. “Both worlds are equally exciting. They are just fun for different reasons.”

Review: Netflix drama ‘Making a Murderer’ depicts justice gone awry BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer

NEW YORK — “Making a Murderer” is the latest series to demand you not just watch, but binge. But since its Netflix debut on Dec. 18, it’s become even more encompassing: a Thing, a budding cultural phenomenon, whose subject is emerging as a painful cause celebre. Few series pack a punch like this, and, further stoking your moral outrage, the tale this 10-hour docuseries tells is real. “Making a Murderer” chronicles the hardship of Steven Avery, an otherwise obscure member of a salvage-yard family in Wisconsin’s rural Manitowoc County. It begins in 2003 with video of Avery returning home after 18 years’ imprisonment for sexual assault, a crime of which he was belatedly exonerated thanks to DNA evidence proving him innocent. Avery, at 41, claims to have left any anger at this miscarriage of justice at the jailhouse door. Calling himself “the happiest man on Earth,” he now is eager to resume normal life. If only. Early buzz for this series has spiked into a roar. Online petitions have

sprung to life on Avery’s behalf while passionate comments punctuate social media. The less you know about Avery’s ordeal, the more you will be rocked by “Making a Murderer.” Suffice it to say, the series depicts a systemic vendetta waged against him by police and the courts. And it only heated up after his rape conviction was overturned. Law enforcement “despised” him, one observer declares in the series’ first moments. “Steven Avery was a shining example of their inadequacies, their misconduct.” And a member of Avery’s family recalls her advice upon his release. “Be careful,” she says she cautioned him. “They are not even close to being done with you.” Make no mistake, Steven Avery is no angel. As a teen, he had his scrapes with the law. “I was young and stupid,” he acknowledges. More problematic, he and his cousin Sandra Morris habitually quarreled. In early 1985, an altercation led to a criminal complaint lodged against him by Morris, who found a sympathetic ear: Her husband was a sheriff’s

Cryptoquip

deputy. Just a few months later, a prominent citizen was sexually assaulted while jogging on the beach. Despite witness alibis for Avery’s whereabouts, an absence of physical evidence, and knowledge of a plausible suspect (who later would be convicted with the DNA evidence that won Avery his freedom), Avery was arrested. “The sheriff told me, ‘I got you now’ when I got to jail,” he recalls. After his 2003 exoneration, Avery was a free man, but for just two years. He was then arrested for another crime — this time, a grisly rape and murder. So was his teenage nephew, Brendan Dassey, a few months later. In the face of what seems, at minimum, reasonable doubt surrounding Avery, now 53, as well as his nephew, the series may offer a broader message: “We can all say that we’re never gonna commit a crime,” says Jerry Buting, one of Avery’s defense lawyers. “But we can never guarantee that someone will never ACCUSE us of a crime. “And if that happens,” he warns, “then good luck in this criminal justice system.”
