The tourism office is ready to find out exactly who’s coming to Corinth and identify opportunities to lure more people to the Crossroads.

The Corinth Area CVB recently hired BerkeBurns ley Young of Young Strategies to conduct the research that will answer those questions and help get more return on the tourism tax dollars spent on tourism marketing.

“We think we know who’s coming to Corinth, but we have no research to back those opinions up,” said Tourism Director Christy Burns.

“This research will point us in the right direction.”

The office hopes to have some concrete answers after the six-month process that recently began with a presen-

“I think everyone knows just how much help the shelter needs ... now more than ever,” said Moore. “It was really an overwhelming response.

The amount of our employees

who want to help the shelter is amazing and we’re looking forward to helping in any way we can this year.”

Officials get funding proposals

BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS Associated Press

JACKSON — A consulting group is recommending that Mississippi adopt a new school funding formula and phase it in over five to eight years.

EdBuild CEO Rebecca Siblia presented her group’s report to lawmakers Monday.

If adopted, the proposal could put more money into educating low-income students.

But, some districts could expect a smaller share of money from the state.

Critics say they want to see how the overall proposal would affect each district.

The current formula, the Mississippi Ad-

equate Education Program, was put into law in 1997 and phased in over several years. It has been fully funded only two years.

Democratic Sen. Hob Bryan of Amory, who helped push MAEP into law, says he believes the EdBuild proposal could lead to public money being sent to private schools through vouchers.

Bryant says trooper shortage critical Associated Press

JACKSON — Mississippi faces a critical shortage of state troopers, according to state officials.

The Clarion-Ledger reports that only 489 of the 650 state trooper positions allowed by state law are filled. Of those positions, 328 are assigned to the road. And nearly 150 troopers are eligible for retirement.

“It’s troubling. We’re almost at the point of declaring a disaster because we’re short on troopers,” said Gov. Phil Bryant told the newspaper. “If we can’t get more troopers on the road we’re going to lose lives. People’s very lives depend upon having more troopers on that road.”

Bryant said he plans to ask lawmak-

Basket Fund nears $17,000 The 21st Annual Corinth Rotary Club / Daily Corinthian Christmas Basket has grown to $16,817.

A $23,000 fund raising goal was set so 1,000 food baskets could be given to local families on Saturday, Dec. 17. The baskets were given away on faith the goal will be reached.

Recent donations include $60 from Waldron Street Christian Church; and a $500 anonymous gift in honor of Publisher Reece Terry and all of the employees at the Daily Corinthian.

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

The special fund will remain active until Jan. 22.

All donations into the new year will be recognized.

Donations can be brought by the newspaper office or mailed to: Daily Corinthian, Attn.:Christmas Basket Fund, P.O. Box 1800, Corinth, MS 38835.

ers to approve another trooper school to get more law enforcement officers on the road.

“And the criminal activity on the highway isn’t limited just to dangerous driving. There’s all sorts of threats that happen there and it just simply is a matter of putting more troopers on the road to be able to deter that and to save lives,” Bryant continued. “A lot depends on how many troopers you visibly have on the roadways. When they see that patrol car, what’s the first thing everyone does? We slow down.”

Sixty-six troopers have left the force since the last trooper school in 2015 Department of Public Safety Commissioner Albert Santa Cruz says at least five of those have gone to Texas where trooper

salaries are significantly higher.

The newspaper reported that a trooper with four years’ experience in Texas makes $89,264. A Mississippi trooper with four years’ experience makes $41,000.

“We’re so shorthanded right now it’s unreal. The only thing that’s saved us this past year is no hurricanes in the Gulf, no major tornadoes, no floods, but that little ice storm we just had showed us where we are,” said Santa Cruz, who is retiring himself next month.

Santa Cruz told the newspaper that at least once weekly someone will tell him the same story.

“I drove all the way from the Coast to the Tennessee line and I didn’t see a single trooper.”

Tupelo band will Arkansas tries to strip General Lee go to inauguration from Martin Luther King Jr. Day Associated Press

JACKSON — Gov. Phil Bryant’s going.

So’s the Tupelo High School marching band and Mississippi Gulf Coast rockers 3 Doors Down.

Those are among the Mississippians who will be attending or taking part in inaugural festivities for incoming President Donald Trump.

Bryant spokesman Clay Chandler confirmed Friday that the Republican governor, a Trump campaign surrogate, would attend the inauguration. State Sen. Joey Fillingane, RSumrall, and Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, will also be part of a Mississippi delegation.

Chandler says the state Republican Party is coordinating a larger group.

3 Doors Down was announced Friday as a performer at a “welcome celebration” at the Lincoln Memorial.

The Tupelo band says it reached its $110,000 fundraising goal to pay for 150 band members to travel to Washington D.C., and march in the inaugural parade.

BY ANDREW DEMILLO Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK — Every third Monday in January, Arkansas state offices are closed in observance of an unlikely holiday: the shared birthdays of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. Only three states commemorate both men on the same day, a practice that critics say hurts Arkansas’ reputation. Now the Republican governor is reviving an effort to remove Lee from the holiday, but he faces resistance from opponents who complain the move belittles the state’s Confederate heritage and from black lawmakers worried about a plan to

set aside another day to honor Lee. “I think this provides our state an opportunity to bridge divides,” said Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has vowed since early last year to make the change, which is part of his agenda for the legislative session that began last week.

Arkansas has had a holiday in honor of Lee since 1947 and one for King since 1983. That year, agencies required state employees to choose which two holidays they wanted off: King’s birthday on Jan. 15, Lee’s birthday on Jan. 19 or the employee’s birthday. In 1985, the Legislature voted to combine holidays.

Alabama and Mississippi also honor the men on the same day.

“We have set a fundraising goal and will work towards that throughout the year allowing employees to give through payroll contributions and other fundraising events,” said Moore.

The Giving Committee have already chosen their first act of business with the shelter.

“We are going to begin working towards raising money to buy 70 to 80 Igloo dog houses for the bigger dogs at the shelter,” added Moore. “We have been told that is one of their greatest needs right now.”

That research will also point the direction for the hiring of the tourism office’s second full-time employee, a position that is currently vacant.

Burns expects the research to help fill

in the gaps in tourism promotion.

“Civil War history is our crown jewel,” she said, but there are likely other opportunities to market, such as railroad tourism and downtown shopping.

She also sees Shiloh visitors as another opportunity.

The interpretive center on Linden Street gets “about half the visitors that Shiloh gets,” said Burns. “We are looking at surveys there and how do we get those people down here.”

Corinth, Miss.

Legislators have a busy week Several committees held their first meeting of the 2017 Regular Legislative Session last week, and four bills made their way to the House floor for discussion.

On Wednesday, the Rules Bubba Committee introduced House Carpenter Bill 479, which defines and outlines usage guidelines for State campaign contributions by Representative any elected official or candidate. The bill prohibits the personal use of campaign contributions and provides acceptable options for how to use leftover money at the conclusion of an elected official or candidate’s service or campaign. Enforcement of this legislation would be overseen by the Mississippi Ethics Commission (MSEC). The bill passed by a vote of 102-13 and will be sent to the Senate for consideration.

The Insurance Committee introduced two bills to the House floor. If signed into law, House Bill 319 would require drivers to show proof of motor vehicle liability insurance to renew their registration. Discussion ensued about the level of effectiveness and logistics of the bill, but the measure ultimately passed by a vote of 82-33.

No opposition arose at the introduction of House Bill 469. Enactment of this legislation would give a board of supervisors the authority to realign or redraw fire protection districts in an attempt to draw the districts so that residences are within five miles of fire protection.

Both bills will be sent to the Senate for consideration.

The Ways and Means Committee introduced House Bill 131, which would authorize the Department of Revenue to compromise and settle a tax liability that is a doubtful claim. The bill passed without opposition and will be sent to the Senate.

Throughout the week, the Appropriations Committee sub-chairmen met with numerous state agencies to hear their budget requests for the 2018 fiscal year. Those meetings will continue into this week.

On Monday, Jan. 16, legislators were scheduled to hear from the consultants of EdBuild, the organization hired to reevaluate Mississippi’s education funding formula. EdBuild was to present its recommendations for education spending in a joint meeting with the House and Senate Education and Appropriations committees.

Several groups visited the Capitol last week, including members of the Mississippi Municipal League, the Mississippi Board of Nursing, CASA Mississippi and a number of Mississippi’s fire chiefs from different areas of the state.

Rep. Lester “Bubba Carpenter serves as state representative for House District 1 including Tishomingo County and portions of Alcorn County.

Prayer for today My Father, help me to understand the power of nature, that I may be willing to obey her laws. I pray that I may so live that my life will proclaim itself without need of boasting or deception. Forbid that I should spend my life in perfecting trifles, and have no leisure to enjoy thy great gifts. Amen.

A verse to share God is our refuge and strength, an everpresent help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

State must stay ahead of digital divide STARKVILLE — As noted in prior writings, I’ve watched the evolution of the digital divide in Mississippi from several unique vantage points.

Even the term “digital divide” has evolved in my lifetime. Earlier in the 20th century, that “divide” was defined by those who had access to telephones and those who didn’t. The obstacles to the technology included poverty, the lack of rural infrastructure, and other factors.

I’m old enough to remember when not everyone had telephones and when many of those who did were on “party” lines. My paternal grandparents had a “party” line – a local loop telephone line shared by several different “parties” or users.

The popularity of this arrangement was that it was the cheapest basic form of telephone service. The negatives? No privacy – others could listen in to your conversations – and lack of availability of the line at all times.

My grandmother – despite frequent chastisement by my father and his siblings about the practice – really enjoyed monitoring community news (and gossip) by eavesdropping on the party line.

A halfcentury later, the “digital divide” in rural America is more about Sid Salter those who have InterColumnist net access or not and the “bandwidth” that is available to them. Cellular telephones now are the only phone for even rural families.

Think about radio and television. Radio was once the province of national “clear channel” AM stations or small, relatively low power local AM stations like WHOC in Philadelphia where I got my first job covering news.

Now, FM radio is delivered by traditional terrestrial means but the real impact has been seen in “streaming” radio over the Internet or satellite radio networks like Sirius XM. In the 1960s, we received over-the-air broadcast TV signals through a television antenna. Most homes were lucky to receive all three of the national networks and that usually was impacted intermittently by location and by weather conditions.

Now, TV comes to us from cable systems, satellite

systems, smart TVs, video game consoles, laptop computers, smart phones and streaming – just to name a few. Netflix and similar companies now compete with – and often dominate – the old TV networks in the production of original content.

There’s a new digital world out there – one dominated by choices, access, and technology that seems to be expanding and improving by the month.

The bottom line is that government has to keep pace with changing technologies or the people they serve are left behind. That’s true at every level of government – federal, state, and local.

As technologies evolved from my childhood forward, government at every level usually found a way to keep pace with technological change. Telephone service carried with it built-in taxes and fees. The same was true with cable TV – every town in Mississippi that had cable TV service had a franchise agreement with a private provider who paid government for the privilege.

The latest such evolution at the intersection of technological development and how our governments interact with that development

is being seen in California, Pennsylvania and other venues over the issue of taxing audio and video streaming services like Netflix or Hulu.

Proponents say lost sales tax revenues from old technology like video or DVD rentals should be recovered from taxing digital downloads from steaming – arguing that access to content was taxed at the point of rental of the VHS tape or DVD and that a change of delivery system doesn’t negate the prior levy of the tax.

Opponents say that a leap and that voters should directly approve or vote down such an effort.

Governments at all levels are now face governing decisions on digital problems that didn’t exist when many of the taxing and spending plans for now-analog technologies were conceived.

Taxpayers deserve fresh, modern looks at sales and use taxes and current technology access fees and taxes based on today’s realities, not strategies devised back when my grandmother was listening in on the party line.

Ben Carson is a fine role model During his Senate confirmation hearing, Dr. Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development-designate, told a story. He said his mother was a domestic who cleaned beautiful homes. One day she asked him if he would rather live in those nice houses or the house in which he and his brother lived in Detroit. She told him that only he could decide the type of home he would eventually live in by how much he studied in school and the choices he made for his life.

Thus motivated, Carson said he went from last in his class to first, and people who used to call him “dummy” started asking him for help with their schoolwork.

He also said people used to tell his mother she could receive welfare payments, but she refused them, believing she could make it on her own without the government.

Carson said people on welfare are not “bad people,” they just don’t know any other life. He said he wants to take a “listen-

ing tour” of America to find out from people how best government can serve Cal them and by Thomas implication how much Columnist more they can do to help themselves.

Stories about overcoming adversity, discrimination and poverty should be at the heart of the incoming Trump administration.

It isn’t that government is all bad, as Carson stated, but that government is doing things it should not be doing. That is why it has become bloated, dysfunctional and detached from everyday Americans.

Carson spoke of the poor as “human capital.” When was the last time anyone said something like that?

Possibly it goes back to the days of HUD Secretary Jack Kemp, who did what Carson proposes by showing up at public housing projects and listening to the people who live there.

Everyone has a story. Some are very sad stories, but they don’t have to be the final chapter in one’s life.

Bad conditions can be bettered. Inspirational stories like Carson’s can lead to change.

The rap against Carson is that he has no government experience. That should be considered an asset, not a liability. Unlike many top government officials who have enjoyed a life of privilege, Carson knows what it is to grow up in poverty.

That experience will count as he travels around the country telling people how they might overcome their circumstances today instead of someday.

Ben Carson is one of two people who could be this administration’s and the Republican Party’s greatest asset when it comes to reaching the poor. The other is secretary of Educationdesignate Betsy DeVos, whose strong advocacy for school choice can liberate poor children from failing public schools, giving them a decent education, which is the ticket to success for

anyone. Perhaps DeVos can make her own tour of failing public schools and shame those Democrats who have refused to let underprivileged children escape, while sending their own children to elite private schools.

Two quotes from Dr. Carson reflect an attitude that will serve him and the people who need decent housing well. One is: “It doesn’t matter if you come from the inner city. People who fail in life are people who find lots of excuses. It’s never too late for a person to recognize that they have potential in themselves.”

The second is: “Our children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.”

Ben Carson could be the role model those striving to better themselves have been waiting for. Let’s wait and see.

Ex-students will miss teacher

BY JEFF YORK For the Daily Corinthian

An English teacher who was colorful and demanding of her students at McNairy Central High School will never be forgotten by those who had her as a teacher.

Sarah Smith Barclay was unique in her teaching style as she was determined that her students would learn to speak and write proper English. She would primarily teach seniors and juniors at MCHS. Her motto in class was “Self-discipline is necessary for success.”

The wife of an Air Force veteran, Barclay came to teach at McNairy Central in the early-70s. She and her husband Bruce had one child, Karen Barclay. Karen was a 1972 graduate of MCHS and returned to teach at the school before moving to teach Art at Tupelo High School until she retired last May. Mrs. Barclay and Karen each lived in The Belfry, a downtown condominium in Tupelo. Sarah lived one floor above Karen and kept a large display of Karen’s art

work in her home.

Air Force Col. Bruce Barclay was Mrs. Barclay’s husband and a familiar face to former MCHS students. He loved photography and always took pictures of MC sporting events and formal events. Mr. Barclay would then give the pictures to the students.

“Mrs. Barclay was very petite, but had a huge personality. You never had to worry where you stood with her,” said former MCHS teacher and principal Dr. Martha Glover.

“She was very loyal to McNairy Central and loved teaching here.”

She was known for her colorful shoes and was always eager to model her newest shoes that may be bright orange or pink at the beginning of the school year.

“Mrs. Barclay would show off her new sneakers every year and took a lot of pride in them,” said Dr. Glover. “She would get up on a table at our first faculty meeting and lead us in a Bobcat cheer to get our school year started off on a good note.”

Dr. Glover once asked her why

she took such great pride in her shoes. Mrs. Barclay said that she only had one pair of shoes when she was a child and had to save them for special events, so she had to go barefoot most of the time.

“In high school, I don’t remember ever seeing her when she wasn’t dressed in bright, colorful clothes,” said Molly Cheshier. “Though she was tiny in stature, she did not go unseen or unheard. As a teacher, she wanted your best effort and instilled a strong work ethic in her students.

She had a great sense of humor and a big smile that I will never forget her.”

Former student Sheila Germany Holt said she saw Mr. and Mrs. Barclay in a Memphis mall several years ago and they reminisced about their McNairy days. Mrs. Barclay was a class sponsor for Holt’s “Class of 1980.”

“She was a delightful lady and made a difference in many teenager’s lives at MCHS,” said Holt.

Mrs. Barclay grew up in Guys and her brother was the owner of Smith’s Store on Hwy. 45 in Guys.

Why Christians Shouldn’t Curse “’Most of the media outlets have been very successful in gradually transforming the family oriented programming of a few decades ago to programming that would have once been given a rating of “R.” It is not surprising that those of the world will watch (and listen to) the trash in modern “entertainment,’’ but it is sickening to see members of the Lord’s blood bought body (the church) polluting their eyes and ears with this garbage. Many even try to defend it or act like it is no big deal. But in fact it is a very serious issue.

What we say is of great importance. Many people can put on religious fronts but ungodly speech will prove otherwise. Pure speech is a necessity for the faithful of God. One of the most sobering passages in the New Testament on this subject is found in Matthew 12:36-37, “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” Jesus affirms that every word we speak will be answered for one day. Our speech is serious to God. Notice Exodus 20:7, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Notice God will not hold the one who offends in speech guiltless. Also read Paul’s admonition in Ephesians 4:29, “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.”Notice the list of things that are not to proceed from our mouths, “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth” (Col. 3:8).

We are taught to control our tongue in James 3. We should use our tongue for good. “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man” (Col. 4:6).

We should avoid cursing. “Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be” (James 3: 10).

When we are careless with our mouths, we are being careless with our souls.

“The gospef of Christ has ‘the power to change us from our former sinful selves into justified, sanctified, blood bought sons and daughters of God. As such we should use our tongues as instruments of righteousness, spreading the gospel to those who are lost. We are to confess the wonderful name of Christ with our mouths (Rom. 10:9-10).

We are to speak good things (Matt. 12:34), “for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Also, we must be able to answer for our hope in Christ. “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” ( 1 Pet. 3:15). Our speech is to be pure, seasoned with salt and aimed at helping others find the Lord.

Foul language will not help us in this endeavor. May we strive to grow more like jesus in our speech.

Dear Annie: I have a friend named “Paula.”

At least I think she’s my friend. We met in nursing school in the 1980s and have hung out ever since.

But for almost a year, she’s been acting odd.

We like to go out for Chinese food at least once a month. She often calls at the last minute saying she is sick or didn’t get to sleep till 4 a.m. or some other excuse. It recently took her over a month to get over a stomach virus. But she was well enough during this time to go to a church retreat two hours away and meet with her sister. She said she stayed in the room a lot. Prior to this trip, she had been in the emergency room with an IV because she had gotten dehydrated.

She has a bad hip, and instead of using a walker, she uses two canes.

The most recent time we went out, we decided to shop a little. She is germaphobic and won’t drink out of a water fountain. She tried to go into the employee lounge of the store to get a soft drink. Thank goodness the employees who stopped her were nice, and one got her a drink.

She acts so erratically at times that I wonder whether she’s on drugs. If I call her, it may take a week or more before she calls back. She’s been divorced three times. She won’t watch one particular TV show because it reminds

Dear Annie her of her second husband.

She won’t watch another show because it takes place in the city where she lived with her third husband and it reminds her of that.

She doesn’t like a certain country singer because the singer’s name is similar to the name of a woman a boyfriend of hers left her for.

I know she’s on meds for depression, but they don’t seem to help. What can I do? She won’t let me in her house, and I know why. I can smell the cat and dog feces from the porch. She was never like this. Please help. — A Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: You‛ve been friends with this woman for about 30 years, so the sudden flakiness is cause for concern about her well-being, especially in light of all the other erratic behaviors you mentioned. She may be suffering from dementia (of which hoarding is a symptom), depression or another condition, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, which also causes hoarding. (Visit https://iocdf.org for more information.)

You can‛t handle this situation on your own.

Enlist the help of her family and/or of professionals.

Encourage her to seek and accept help. She is not mentally well right now, and she may not take kindly to your involvement, at least not at first. But it‛s the right thing to do, and she‛s lucky to have a friend like you.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Nancy Across the Way,” who is fed up with how the young mother across the street yells at her kids. I am not advocating yelling, but as a mom of two young boys, I can identify with how difficult it is to be on time in the morning. Additionally, there is much involved behind closed doors, and the mom may live with mental illness in some aspect. I am married to someone who has a mood disorder, and most days are very difficult for our family. Most folks who live with this are isolated and have few friends.

My advice to the neighbor is to help this mother reduce her isolation. Offer support instead of judgment. Perhaps Nancy could take her focus off the yelling by baking some cookies and giving this mom a word of support. It would speak volumes and probably make Nancy feel better, too. — In Peace and Hope

Recognizing the best After a week off I’m back with more food for thought and my P.O.V. on area sports and entertainment.

Topping the list this week, several area teams and individuals deserve recognition for their superior play this past season as they were honored recently at the Annual Fall Sports Awards Banquet in Tupelo.

The Kossuth girls cross country team Kent was recogMohundro nized as the top 3A team at Sports Editor the banquet.

Coach Jackie Hill has done a credible job molding these young ladies into one of the better cross country programs in the state.

Tied in with that award,

Kent’s Corner Kossuth eight-grader Lauren Green was named the top girls cross country runner.

This was widely expected as Green has already won the state title and is regarded as one of the top cross country runners in Mississippi regardless of division.

Alcorn Central volleyball star Olivia Wilson was also recognized at the sports banquet as the top volleyball player in Classes 1-3A. Wilson will be back next season as the Lady Bears aim for a state title they fell short of this past season.

This past Saturday at Corinth High School gym, the Elks Lodge 2573 hosted their annual Hoop Shoot contest, a free throw contest for area youth ages 8-13. The program began in 1972 as a

way for participants to experience new things, meet new people and make friends. It also provides an opportunity for youth to compete, connect, and succeed through hard work and competition.

The local winners will compete at the district level this Saturday, January 21 at Lee Academy in Clarksdale. District winners will advance to the state competition. From there, winners move on to regionals and nationals. National winners will have their names inscribed and permanently displayed among various basketball legends in the Naismith Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Be on the lookout in the next day or two for a photo containing all the area winners in each age bracket from this past Saturday’s competition.

Moving our attention to the

NFL, what should you Dallas fans expect now that the season is over for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys?

First of all, that was one of the best playoff games I have witnessed in quite a while. And what about that explosive comeback effort after falling behind 21-3.

To be straight up with you, I thought it was over at that point because the Packers are playing like gang-busters since starting the season 4-6.

I got a kick out of a post someone placed on Facebook after Green Bay won on a last second 51-yard field goal. It was a police-type sketch of the face of QB Aaron Rodgers with the sub-title “Wanted for the murder of 53 Cowboys.”

I’m sure many of you saw that. You had to laugh: and tip your hat to Rodgers. The Please see CORNER | 9

Vivians, who was tabbed to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 last week, is third in the SEC in scoring in league games with 19.5 ppg.

She is fifth for the season with 16.9 ppg.

guy just knows how to win. Maybe Prescott picked up some tips from the gritty veteran.

So what to expect in Dallas next season.

Talk is that Dallas is looking into the possibility of trading Tony Romo. And word further has it - from NFL insiders - that if that happens Romo wants to be traded to the Denver Broncos.

I wonder why?

Peyton Manning had a happy send-off with the mile-high team after being traded by the Colts. So why not Romo?

Granted, he’s not Peyton, but he’s a much better option than what they have now. Plus, firstround pick Paxton Lynch could use another year of seasoning and Romo might just be the man to make him better.

With the youthful core of Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, and wily veterans such as Dez Bryant and the best offensive line in the NFL, I see this Dallas team as a future Super Bowl squad.

And then there’s SEC basketball.

It’s very obvious who the best conference team from Mississippi is right now, the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

It didn’t begin that way, as Ole Miss began with a near-miss against Creighton, who is now among the top-ranked teams in the country.

The Rebels actually led the Blue Jays at halftime before the speed and depth of CU took its toll.

They even topped a very good Memphis Tiger squad at the Pavilion.

But the Rebels have averaged a measly 51 points per game over their past two contests and look to

be fading at 10-7, 1-3 in conference play.

Now the Bulldogs look like the best team in Mississippi, and even among the best in the SEC. The return of Quindarry Weatherspoon and the inspired play of the supporting cast, especially Mario Kegler and Lamar Peter, who have combined for twelve doubledigit games between them.

Coach Ben Howland’s crew can really shake things up Tuesday night if they can upset No. 5 Kentucky at Humphrey Coliseum. By the way, if you’re a Bulldog fan and planning on attending the game, it’s gonna be ‘white-out night’ at the Hump. Legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger will be on hand to call the game on national television.

Area basketball teams are focused on one thing from here on out ... winning as many games as they can and be hot come division tournament time.

Good luck to all our area teams as you work hard to make postseason and advance.

There are many good things happening around us these days in the midst of all the hatred and frustration that surrounds us, especially in advance of this week’s presidential inauguration.

I urge you to keep a positive mind and get out and support your local teams. They need you.

And finally, a note to coach Jerry Lott and his McNairy Central Lady Bobcats as he goes for his 800th career win Tuesday night at the Roundhouse.

The best of luck, coach.

Rookie Prescott feels pain, but is part of promise for Cowboys The Associated Press

FRISCO, Texas — Dak Prescott tried to negotiate the length of his second meeting with reporters in less than 24 hours after experiencing the pain of a last-play loss in the NFL playoffs for the first time.

The Dallas rookie quarterback told someone to pick the maximum number of questions, and when he thought it was too high, Prescott suggested his uniform number — four — and broke into a faint smile while everyone laughed Monday.

Prescott and fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott, the NFL rushing champion, can understand what Tony Romo and Jason Witten have been feeling for years trying to end what is now a 21year Super Bowl drought for a franchise with five titles.

It will be up to the young stars to make it happen after the promise they showed in a gut-wrenching 34-31 divisional playoff loss at home to Green Bay. “It was a missed opportunity ... because this team won’t be back together, not the same team, not the same exact men and players won’t be back together,” said Prescott, who added to a number of NFL rookie QB bests by becoming the first to throw three touchdowns in a playoff game in the Super Bowl era.

“But for the people that will for this organization, the youth in this team, it’s a building block. We’re going to

get better from it. We’ll make plenty more runs.”

The Cowboys had a replay of 2007, when they were the top seed in the NFC at 13-3 with a bye and home-field advantage before losing to the New York Giants. It was the fifth straight divisional loss for Dallas, going back to 1996, the year after the last Super Bowl win.

The feeling, though, might be a little more like 1991, when the Cowboys lost to Detroit in the same round and went into the offseason feeling the need to add an elite pass-rushing end. Charles Haley was a key part of three Super Bowl wins in four years.

The Dallas defense was mostly adequate this season working alongside a first-rate offense with one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. But the Cowboys couldn’t stop Aaron Rodgers, just like two years ago when they were built similarly and lost a divisional game during a trip to Green Bay. “I’m buoyed in the short term more so than what happened to us in the ensuing years after ‘07,” owner and general manager Jerry Jones said. “I don’t think I’m being an optimist.”

There won’t be much work to do on offense, once the Cowboys figure out what to do with Romo, who is likely to be traded or released after Prescott once again affirmed his status by rallying Dallas from an 18-point deficit in the second quarter and from 15 down in the fourth.

Mom and ex at loggerheads over daughter’s cellphone Abigail Van Buren Dear Abby

D E A R ABBY: I bought my 11-year-old daughter a cellphone.

My ex does not approve.

We have been divorced for six years, and he still

can’t get over it.

He despises me.

He refuses to listen to why I want her to have a cellphone.

While I want her to be responsible with it, I realize she will make mistakes -- which she already has by being on her phone too much. (It has been taken away from her once.)

I want her to carry the phone with her in case of emergencies. If it is confiscated at school, her dad will no doubt tell me, “I told you so.”

Should I abide by his wishes and not allow her to have the phone, or do you think my points are valid? -- MOM WITH PHONE ISSUE

DEAR MOM: Wanting your daughter to have the cellphone in case of emergency seems valid to me.

If you are her custodial parent, I think that prerogative belongs to you.

But I do have a question: Who took the phone away from your daughter?

If you did it because she was abusing the privilege, then she will learn her lesson if you are consistent.

If a teacher takes it away from her at school, there should be consequences and you should ensure that they are enforced.

DEAR ABBY: I have an unusual problem.

I’m very accident-prone.

Over the past several years I have been in a cast many times, sometimes for long periods.

My friends constantly tease me about it when what I’d really appreciate is a little compassion and maybe a little help while I am recovering.

How do I let these people know that their teasing is hurtful? -- WENDY IN CALIFOR-

NIA DEAR WENDY: If you have been in a cast “many times” over the past few years, your friends may be suffering from compassion fatigue.

If their making light of your predicament is hurting your feelings, you have to tell them so.

And while you’re at it, tell them what you DO need from them.

On a slightly different note, don’t you think it’s time to determine why you are so accident-prone?

Is it clumsiness?

Poor vision?

Discuss this with your medical provider, because he or she might advise neurological testing, or even some sessions with a licensed mental health professional.

Please consider this advice.

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).

You’re in learning mode. You’ll note how people interact and how they solve problems, and you’ll get valuable tips. You’ll absorb a week’s worth of experience in one day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

If you want the change badly enough, you’ll start now, which just happens to be the best, if not the only, time. If you don’t want the change badly enough, start now anyway; you won’t regret it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Setting your expectations well -- that’s grace. Setbacks are normal. They will certainly happen. It’s something to accept, along with the responsibility of getting back up and into the game.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). “Liberty” is a concept.

“Happiness” is an emotional state. And “love,” well, it’s debatable. You tend to think of it as an action, and you won’t go wrong if you live it that way, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The energy of rebellion is churn-

ing below the surface of you today. It’s not that you have authority issues per se; it’s just that you’re ready to take the lead in your life, and anyone else who tries will be out of his or her depth.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Should you give your trust upfront and then withdraw it if the person proves untrustworthy, or should you withhold your trust until you have sufficient proof? The first way will be more exciting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You don’t mind being needed, but when it’s every single time, you start to wonder whether you’re being taken advantage of. In a give-andtake relationship, it’s your duty to make sure that you’re doing a little of both.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s important you supportively interact with yourself. High stress levels make this harder. Reduce the stress! It’s not because you want an easy life; it’s because you’re not helping anyone by having a hard one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Those who know the harsh northern winters say there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothes. You can apply this adage and suit up well for today’s “weather,” in whatever form it may come.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Get your reverse calendar going, because the best way to tackle this goal is backward. When you start your plan at the end, you’re likelier to gravitate toward the steps that are relevant and reasonable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are determined, brave and willing to act even when the reward is out of reach. You’re extremely attractive to those who share this rare and very true grit.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Giving people too much time to do a task is actually demotivating, and the same goes for yourself. With a deadline, you’ll excel. Without one, you’ll waste precious moments.
